"What is this strange device?"
"It's called a microwave, it's used to heat food, that's already been cooked but goes cold…and sometimes cook food like this, but only at a certain amount of time." Abi still coiled around Gena's shoulders, hissing lowly at Renkotsu who backed off into the den. Suddenly Gena's senses kicked in again, this time she could feel someone coming…someone strong…she shook her head and ran back into the den through the doorway and stopped in front of the TV.
"Guys…I felt it…I felt something…" Shoku got up and squinted his eyes at her and asked, "What did you see?"
"A man…a tall man, but he didn't look human…he looked…godly…" Inuyasha was about to talk until he sniffed the air and got pissed. He grabbed tetsueiga (correct me if wrong) and ran towards the door before anyone could stop him.
"Inuyasha what…?" Roy nearly ran up but stopped seeing Inuyasha frozen to the spot four feet from the door. He looked shocked for a minute but remembered he also had an advanced ability; maybe this was part of it. Roy walked up to the door looking at the battle frozen man, sword over his head and one leg hiked up in the air.
"Hey ok, let's see what's behind this door…" Roy slowly opened the door and his eyes widened at the person behind it. Inuyasha, Koga, Shippo, Kilala, and Spike growled at the newcomer.
"Who are you?" Roy asked as everyone prepared for a possible fight.
Everyone stood stone still at the person. It was a man with long silver hair like Inuyasha's, but with a white kimono, two swords at his waist, one arm, and facial markings. He looked around and smirked a little at the group.
"How quaint of you Inuyasha, meddling with more mere humans and specters."
"Hey you got a problem with us or something?!!" Zeke shouted at the man but he laughed a little.
"A kid with spunk, how interesting…"
"Who are you?!" Gena got a little closer towards the man who just stared. The dogs growled again and Abi hissed over Gena's shoulder. His expression changed slightly but his face remained stern as he looked her up and down.
"Hello you alive over there?!!"
The guy just kept staring at Gena, after a brief few seconds more he stood directly in front of her. His arm grabbed her shoulder and Abi hissed louder. The others tried to move but Shoku gestured them not to.
"Shizuna…" the man whispered at Gena, his golden eyes peered deep into her blue ones.
"Shizuna? I'm Gena…"
"Shoku what's going on?" Roy asked glaring at the stranger. Before Shoku could speak Inuyasha stepped in.
"Let go of her Sesshomaru!!" Inuyasha pulled out his sword pointing it at the man Sesshomaru. The man just glared at him but let go of Gena anyway. Gena pulled out a pocket knife and stuck it up against the man's neck.
"Ok dude…what do you want?!!" the man just smiled and moved the knife away from his neck.
"Still as feisty as ever I see." Gena glared and the room suddenly felt cold.
"Shoku please escort this jackass out of here before the next ice age starts." Zeke said pulling Gena away.
"No need for that mortal, I just came to see my mate." Now eyes were widening everywhere.
"MATE?!!! Bastard who do you think you are?!!" now the room really froze over but Shoku fixed it.
"Yes umm…I forgot to mention that at the time she was killed Shizuna was to be Sesshomaru's mate."
"And he thinks I'm just going along with it?"
"No, but technically you are his mate Gena."
"Not happening…" Gena tried to walk away but Sesshomaru just grabbed her arm.
"A young woman shouldn't say such things…" Gena yanked her arm away and smacked Sesshomaru in the face.
"Don't talk to me like I'm your wife you son of a bitch! I'm not your mate, and I'm sorry if my ancestor was your bride-to-be, but just because I have her appearance and powers doesn't mean you can just come prancing in here like you own the place. Now beat it…" she turned again getting grabbed again and yanked out the door and before anyone could do anything Sesshomaru sat Gena onto Ah-Un with Rin and Jaken flying off back towards the well.
"GENA!!! Shoku do something!!" Shoku couldn't move, he just shook his head.
"It's too late Alexis; they've already reached the past era. We'll have to go back there and get them."
"But our training…?"
"It's complete, we have already mastered the powers but you just have to keep it cool until the time is right."
"But we haven't even used them yet…"
"It doesn't matter, you'll know when it's time…now get your armor and weapons, we must head out of here quickly. My senses indicate that the past is getting worse, but we need to hurry before Shinkaiyomaru fully awakens." No one wanted to be told twice, everyone grabbed every ounce of supplies and armor needed for the trip. A few minutes later they were suited up and ready to leave, and Shoku transported them to the well and they headed off.
Gena struggled to get loose from Sesshomaru's hold but he had a good grip on her. The little imp was kicked off holding onto Ah-Un's tail while the kid just looked at Gena. They kept flying until Gena bit into Sesshomaru's arm and jumped off the dragon. She tried to run away but Sesshomaru jumped on her and held her to a tree. She continued to struggle until he held both arms over her head.
"Let go of me!!"
"Not until you calm down Shizuna."
"I'm not Shizuna!! I'm her descendant dammit!" Sesshomaru smirked and kissed Gena full on the lips shoving his tongue in her mouth. She gagged on the feeling but froze as some flashbacks went straight through her head like a movie stream. She began to see herself or Shizuna, as a warrior fighting demons and killing them with Honjou, Tamaku, and Hanaku; she saw herself with Sesshomaru, and they were in love, doing it in the fields, fighting side by side during the first battle, and then seeing herself die in front of him, after sealing Shinkaiyomaru. She saw, she heard him calling her, begging her to stay with him, but then it all faded into black.
Sesshomaru pulled away and looked at Gena, whose blue eyes were dazed out as she looked directly into his golden orbs, like she could pass out any minute.
"Y-You…" she stammered.
"You remember me now? Dear Shizuna, you remember fighting with me a thousand years ago, you remember dying in my arms and saying you loved me before I lost you and your brothers and sister?"
"I do…but please Sesshomaru listen…"
"Why? You're my Shizuna, my mate."
"I know it's hard to believe, but I'm not Shizuna."
"You are…"
"No I'm not. I have her looks, I have her strength and power, but I'm not her. I'm Gena Fushiyuma, I'm seventeen, and I have a mother, a father and a little brother. I'm only Shizuna's reincarnation, I remember you but those are her memories not mine. Please Sesshomaru, try to understand…"
Sesshomaru stood still but didn't release his hold on Gena. He looked at her with a small hint of hurt in his eyes but not much. He held her there for a little longer but released her as she fell to the ground. She looked at him, thinking he would let her go until he reached for his sword. She backed away from him but he held his sword to her throat threatening to cut.
"Sesshomaru…"
"You're not my Shizuna…yet you look like her, you're smart like her, but you aren't her. You mock her just by being alive, so you must die." He raised his sword about to strike when he was forced back into another tree. Gena's powers kicked in and she formed an ice bow and arrow, shooting Sesshomaru in the arm. She got up and held the arrow in front of him, before the imp shot fire at her but she blocked it.
"Arrogant wench how dare you attack my lord!!"
"Shut up imp! Your lord attacked me first." Gena glared at Sesshomaru who roared at her with bloodshot eyes until something landed nearby on the ground.
"GENA!! Are you alright?!!" Roy, Zeke, and Alexis were running in Gena's direction armed and ready. The others were nowhere in sight.
"Guys what happened? How'd you get here so quick?"
"How do you think? Damn you took him down already?!" Alexis asked looking down at the fallen demon.
"No I caught him off guard…can't say the same for that dragon though." Gena pointed to Ah-Un where the imp and little girl looked terrified. "The girl's his ward but the imp…I think he's just a tag-along." The little toad got angry and tried to flame the girls but was blocked by Roy's shield.
"What the—"
"Shut up you toad!" Roy was about to strike when Shoku appeared.
"Now now play nice children…good to see you're still alive there Gena."
"Took you long enough…you got my stuff?"
"Right here." Zeke handed Gena her armor and weapons where she moved behind a thick underbrush to change. She got back after a few minutes, but glared at Sesshomaru.
"Get out of here…I don't want to see your face ever again mutt! Now leave!"
"Wench don't you dare insult the great Lord Sesshomaru, ruler of the West!" Gena's fierce glare went on Jaken again.
"I don't care what kind of ruler he is or whatever! All I'm gonna say is he needs to get on with his life and quit chasing a ghost! He's got no business snatching me off thinking I'm his woman!" Gena fired another ice arrow but only nicked Sesshomaru's cheek. Alexis grabbed her arm before she could fire again.
"That's enough Gena!! Don't waste your power on him!" Shoku looked at Sesshomaru and instantly transported the group to a deep forest thick with a canopy of oak trees. The kids looked around before looking at the old man again.
"Where are we?" they asked.
"This is the Forest of Death, the land just outside Shinkaiyomaru's palace. It's full of toxic plants and ferocious demons, but this area so far is the least dangerous. It will be safer to travel during the day, at night these creatures come out for feeding, so I would advise you to take precaution when you camp out. I've let the others out on another trip to the castle, so it's better if we all travel separately."
"Then what're you gonna do? Provide emotional support?" Roy stormed up but was stopped by Zeke.
"No, I alone cannot interfere…this is not my fight, it was my job to train and prepare you for this."
"But we didn't finish all the training? We only know a few tricks…"
"Don't worry, you will all know what to do instantly but it only depends on the situation…say if you were about to be stabbed through the heart, then your barrier reflexes would activate immediately."
"Seriously?"
"Yes, now I must take my leave of you. Good luck to all of you, and don't worry you'll meet up with the others as soon as you get out of the forest. Farewell…" Shoku faded into mist and disappeared in mid-air. Roy looked at the others and shrugged.
"So much for that…"
"Hey Roy don't get angry ok? It looks bad now but I really think we should start moving before nightfall." Everyone just shrugged and started preparing for the trip. Zeke used his heat senses to detect body heat and other possible dangers. Roy used his earthly abilities to point out any toxins in the area. Alexis used the wind for directions depending on the speed and feeling. Gena used the moisture in the soil and plants to determine if a certain plant was safe enough to handle since the place reeked of poison.
3 hours later:
It was close to sunset for the four exhausted teens, each one with only enough energy to walk…barely.
"My head says stop but my legs keep walking…" Zeke looked as if he would collapse any minute. The others could hardly move as it was.
"Must stop…must stop…walking…" Roy's knees suddenly gave out and he fell to the ground and the others followed suit.
"Oh man…I think we used too much energy…think this is a good spot to camp out for the night?" Gena and the others used the small amount of energy left and nodded.
"There's a cave west from here, and judging by the clouds it looks like rain tonight. Let's rest for a bit then move out k?"
"K."
They sat there for 20 minutes before Roy stood up and motioned for everyone to follow. They found the cave and checked it for life but found it empty. Alexis put up a barrier and prepared the beds while Gena prepared the food and Zeke started a bonfire with Roy. No one said anything the whole time they were there, and no one wanted to talk because they all knew if anyone said one word about the war it would only cause more conflicts and arguments.
They all slept through the night, but only after they laid awake until past midnight being too anxious to sleep, and too scared to talk about anything.
