Multicolored Chaos ~Sesshomaru Love Story~
*You guys are making me lonely. It's already the tenth chapter and I hear nothing from you. How can you do this to me? *sniff* …ah well, back to the story!*
Chapter 10:
Inuyasha bared his fangs and tried to slash me with his claws, but I jumped out of the way just in time. Sesshomaru rushed towards us and knocked Inuyasha to the ground with a quick attack of his tokigen.
"You fool," Sesshomaru said coldly. "I told you to stay where you won't get killed."
I glared. "I don't exactly like to sit around and watch you have all the fun."
Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes, but was quiet. Inuyasha growled and got to his feet. His anger and bloodlust radiated off of him like a...tsunami. It was sickening. I put my fan into the ribbon tying together my kimono. I think I better go head to head with him, if I was going to manage to not kill him.
"Very well," Sesshomaru began. "You take care of the half breed."
With those words, he walked away. 'What the crap?! How can he just walk away like that?' I thought as I glared at Sesshomaru, hoping he would notice. I think he did. I could see a small smirk on his face while he was walking towards the woods. That jerk! Suddenly, Inuyasha rushed at me, his claws ready to kill. I turned my focus back on him and rushed at him too, chanting and concentrating my energy into my right hand. My hand glowed purple, ready to do some serious damage. I smirked. Inuyasha slashed at me, but I dodged at the last minute and managed to touch his wrist. Inuyasha screamed in agony. Smoke was rising from the point where I touched him. I ran at him and tried to touch his skin again, but Inuyasha now knew not to let me do that. Even for someone as hot headed and possessed by demon blood as he was, he was kind of smart. Not to mention fast. He dodged every one of my attacks, while keeping up his own.
"Inuyasha! Stop this right now!" Kagome screamed.
The group came closer to us, but far enough away to stay out of danger. Those cowards. They're not helping much, considering their friend is attacking me.
"Yuuko is strong, taking on Inuyasha like that. Even making him scream," I heard Sango say.
I smirked. That comment just made my day. Maybe they're not such bad people after all.
"But is she trying to kill Inuyasha?" Kagome asked worriedly.
"I don't think so," Miroku said. "Otherwise, she would use the weapon she used for blocking the wind scar."
Inuyasha rushed at me again, this time managing to scratch my arm. The same arm that glowed with my spiritual power. But I could tell his attack hurt him, too. Pain was in his eyes. I started walking away from him, holding my injured arm. When I got about five feet away, I held it up and looked at it. Blood streamed down from the scratch. It was deep and it stung really bad. I could barely move it. I scowled. He made a smart move. My arm stopped glowing and I let it fall limply to my side. The sight of my blood excited him, I could tell. I glared and took out my fan with my left hand. I don't want to kill him, just knock him out. At least...I think I don't want to kill him. Inuyasha ran at me, aiming his claws for my throat. I focused a bit of my energy into my fan and waved it. A cloud of purple enveloped him. He kept going, gnashing his teeth. He wanted more blood. I put a bit more power into my fan and waved it, but this time I focused my energy at me. The purple cloud was thicker than before and it enveloped me. It didn't hurt a bit, but when Inuyasha tried to get to me, he screamed and quickly got out of my cloud. It must have too much spiritual power for him. I have to end this before I run out of energy. I frowned. I hope I don't end up killing him. Inuyasha leaped in the air and attempted to go straight through the cloud of spiritual energy. The fool. He gnashed his teeth as he started going through. I focused some energy into my left hand and balled it into a fist. As he came closer, I narrowed my eyes and aimed a punch at his face just as he aimed his claws at my chest. He beat me. I gasped as I felt pain searing through my chest where he punctured it. It was close to my heart, but far enough away to keep me alive for a while. I punched him hard on the jaw and watched as he fell to the ground. The cloud surrounding me dissipated and I fell on my hands and knees. My vision started getting blurry. I was losing way too much blood. I could sense Inuyasha get off the ground and head towards me. I could still sense his bloodlust. For the first time, I feared for my life.
What's wrong, Yuuko? Get up and fight or we'll both die, I heard a voice say. It was the same voice I heard when that ogre nearly crushed me. 'Well, it's not my fault I was stabbed in the chest with claws,' I thought back at the voice. I heard it chuckle. You talk just like her. Maybe I'll give you a little break.
Inuyasha leaped towards me, covered in my blood. I looked up at him, my eyes wide. His claws were about to slash me in two, but a barrier suddenly surrounded me. It was the same barrier that protected me from getting crushed by the ogre. Without warning, the barrier wrapped around Inuyasha's body and squeezed hard. Inuyasha screamed and struggled to get out, but it was no use. After a few seconds, Inuyasha was limp. The barrier released its hold on him and he fell to the ground, unconscious.
'How did you do that?' I thought to the voice. It chuckled. Why should I tell you, human? As long as you're alive, you shouldn't worry about it. 'Well, I can't worry about it when I'm dead, now can I?' The voice laughed, but said nothing more. I sighed. 'I'm confused. What is this voice inside of me? Could it be that my dark secret, the one that the fan shows, is related to this voice?' I thought. 'This is just too weird. Maybe if I can go back to my time, I can get some answers.'
The bleeding in my chest didn't stop. The world swirled around me. I was getting dizzy. I suddenly saw Sesshomaru walk out of the woods towards me. Kagome and her group rushed over to see what happened.
"Yuuko, are you all right?" Miroku asked worriedly as he ran to my side.
I narrowed my eyes. "Does it look...like I'm...all right?" I panted. I could barely breathe.
"I guess not," he said, turning pale. "Yuuko, you should be dead! How is it that you're still alive?"
"I...don't know..." I answered, still struggling to breathe.
He then turned to the others. "We should get her to a village immediately. She needs treatment right away!"
Everyone nodded. Suddenly, Kagome was by my side.
"You have a sacred jewel shard, don't you?" she asked.
I nodded, no longer wanting to speak.
"That's good. It should keep you alive for a little while longer. "
Suddenly, Sesshomaru was standing by my side, hovering over Kagome and Miroku. Miroku nervously left and went to tend to Inuyasha, but Kagome stayed.
"She needs medical treatment right now, Sesshomaru," she said, stating the obvious. "We'll need to take her to a village. If we don't in the next ten minutes, she'll die."
Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes. I had to fight to keep from laughing. There's no doubt he's remembering the last time we were in a human village. Kagome stood there patiently.
"Do as you wish," Sesshomaru finally said.
Kagome finally left to tend to Inuyasha. A weak smile spread across my lips.
"I thought...you left me...here to die, Sesshomaru," I managed to whisper.
He was quiet for a moment. Finally he spoke.
"How is it everytime you're seriously injured, you smile at me?" he asked, curious.
"Just 'cause...I...feel like it," I answered. Then I winced. The pain was getting harder to bear.
Just then, Inuyasha gained consciousness and attempted to sit up. Unfortunately for him, it wasn't going to well. He was badly injured, but not in critical condition like I was. Sesshomaru left my side and went to him, hovering above him like he was superior and Inuyasha was only a mere insect compared to him. And right now, it seemed to be true. I watched the two brothers silently, trying desperately to stay awake. Sesshomaru suddenly lifted Inuyasha up by his throat.
"You worthless half breed," Sesshomaru said emotionlessly, although I knew he was furious. "You attempt to kill a mortal girl? I thought you were against that type of behavior."
Inuyasha, for once, was silent. He felt remorse. I couldn't help but forgive him.
"Let him go, Sesshomaru!" Kagome pleaded. "Please!"
Sesshomaru didn't say anything to her, just looked at Inuyasha with hatred in his eyes. Inuyasha looked away from his gaze, ashamed.
"Please...stop," I whispered to Sesshomaru.
He heard me. Sesshomaru opened the hand that held Inuyasha's throat and walked away from him. Inuyasha fell to the ground and winced. Sesshomaru walked back to my side and picked me up bridal style. Although my blood was rushing out of the gaping hole in my chest, some of it managed to go to my cheeks.
"Wait..." I said feebly. "I want to go...to my time. The...doctors...are better there."
Sesshomaru looked down at me and nodded once. He then walked towards the woods.
"How am I...gonna...go back, though?" I asked.
"The same way you came in," he answered quietly.
"Guess...that...makes sense. Wait for me...okay?"
"I'm going with you."
My eyes widened in suprise. 'Sesshomaru's going to go with me to the present day Japan? This is something new. I hope he won't end up killing anyone,' I thought to myself. Sesshomaru quickened his pace. A couple minutes went by. The world was spinning wildly around me, which is never a good sign. Especially when you can barely breathe and you're in absolute agony. I couldn't even scream. We finally got to the well where I first came through to the feudal era. The place where it all began.
