A Blast From The Past
Ryukotsusei's Fang
Caitlin felt Kouga and Erin coming towards her. She smiled to herself. Finally, someone that she knew well enough. She was sure that Erin and Kouga would have questions for her.
"Hey! Cait!" Erin yelled, she waved and then practically tackled Caitlin to the ground.
"Hi to you too..." Caitlin muttered, then pushed her friend off. "Get off!" Caitlin growled when Erin wouldn't let go, Erin let go.
"So what're you doing here?" Kouga asked.
"I'm waiting for a sword to be made for me." Caitlin answered, Kouga and Erin looked at each other, then back at Caitlin, completely confused. "Since it's very hard to use my Time Key when I'm not the only Time Demon I'm having Totosai make me a new sword using Ryukotsusei's fang that I found." Caitlin explained.
"You found a fang of HIS?!" Kouga asked. "That must of been that tremedously evil aura that we felt." Kouga added.
"Yeah, it was. Totosai's still workin' on it. It should be done soon." Caitlin said, just as Totosai walked out of the cave. "Done?" Caitlin asked.
"Yes. I dare not pick it up. I can't subdue the evil aura." Totosai added. "I don't think anyone short of Sesshomaru can."
"Well. We'll just have to see about that now wont we?" Caitlin asked, she walked inside and looked at the sword. It looked like Tetsusaiga, but larger.
"Cait, I don't have a good feeling about this..." Erin said.
"Relax." Caitlin said, she bent down and picked up the sword. The aura flared, then a strong wind blew through the cave, the evil aura dissapated and Caitlin smiled. "There." Totosai looked at her in shock.
"Who are you?" Totosai asked.
"The name's Caitlin. Lady of the West." Caitlin added.
"By choice?"
"Yes. By choice." Sesshomaru answered from the cave enterance. Everyone looked at him.
"Never thought that you'd marry." Totosai muttered. Sesshomaru ignored him and turned his attention to Caitlin.
"I thought I told you to stay at the castle." Sesshomaru said. He took a few steps forward, then was met with her new sword at his throat.
"Since when do I listen? And I have my own score to settle with Aetwin. You are not allowed to kill her until I settle the score." Caitlin said, she was now taking on the role that she had been mated into. Totosai leaned over to Erin.
"Lovers spat?" he asked.
"No clue." Kouga and Erin answered at the same time.
"Go. Back." Sesshomaru ordered.
"No. I refuse."
"Back."
"I'm not going back. You'll have to tie me up, gag me, and throw me in a closet!"
"Then I will." Sesshomaru grabbed Caitlin, threw her over her shoulder, then walked out of the cave.
"HEY! PUT ME DOWN! NOW!" Caitlin growled at Sesshomaru. "I SAID PUT ME THE FUCK DOWN!" Caitlin yelled, as she beat on Sesshomaru's back.
"Foul mouth, that one." Totosai commented.
"You have no idea..." Erin muttered. She and Kouga followed Sesshomaru outside.
"DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND ME?!" Caitlin growled at him. "I SAID PUT ME DOWN! NOW!!!!!!!!!"
"STOP YELLING!" Sesshomaru growled, but still didn't put her down.
"MAYBE I WOULD IF YOU'D PUT ME DOWN!"
"NO! YOU ARE GOING BACK TO THE CASTLE!"
"I WONT! YOU CAN'T MAKE MEEEEE!!!!"
"This is going to go on for a while..." Kouga muttered.
"Yeup..." Erin muttered. They watched as Caitlin and Sesshomaru yelled back and forth, Caitlin still pounding on Sesshomaru's back, and trying to kick him between the legs, and Sesshomaru trying to hold down Caitlin's leg, so she WOULDN'T kick him between the legs, and trying to put her where her legs couldn't reach that far down.
Kohan and Hasu ran up just as Caitlin nailed Sesshomaru between the legs. Both men cringed and cupped their own genders tenderly, feeling the pain themselves. "Oooooh...that had to hurt..." both muttered.
Kouga himself cringed, but since Erin was there, didn't cup his gender. They watched as Sesshomaru's eyes went wide, and Caitlin smield in staticfaction. He didn't fall to his knees, but he instead threw Caitlin down onto the ground, hard.
"Ow!" Caitlin yelped. Sesshomaru was glaring at Caitlin, all pain gone from his eyes, and all that showed was anger.
"He's going to loose her if he keeps treatin' her like that." Totosai muttered, Erin and Kouga nodded. Everyone silently watched, Caitlin glaring at Sesshomaru, and Sesshomaru glaring at Caitlin. Then something happened so fast that no one caught it. Caitlin had her sword against Sesshomaru's, they were locked in a stalemate.
"You're never going to win." Sesshomaru said, his voice even.
"Like hell I'll loose!" Caitlin growled at him.
"Well, if you're going to win, then you're going to need much more strength than that." Sesshomaru commented dryly, then pushed even harder against her blade, she was pushed backwards and there was nothing that she could do about it.
"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr..." Caitlin muttered. She pushed even more against Sesshomaru's blade, but it did nothing to stop it. "Damn it!" Caitlin growled, she jumped away, Sesshomaru knew that she was going to do it and jumped with her, she was now a good foot away from him and ready to parry again. Just like she thought he was going to do, he swung. Much to her surprise he didn't swing all the way, just half way. Then she imediatly knew what he was going to do. "Shit!" Caitlin cursed, there was nothing she could do about it in mid-air.
She felt the power ripping through her clothes, and then into her skin. Caitlin's face cringed at the pain, when she landed she looked at her legs. They had taken most of the hit. There were deep gashes, and they were bleeding out onto the ground.
"I think he won." Totosai muttered.
"Mmm-hmm." Erin, Kouga, Hasu, and Kohan agreed.
"Damn it." everyone heard Caitlin mutter. Sesshomaru turned to Kohan and Hasu.
"Take her back to the castle, and make sure that she doesn't leave." Sesshomaru ordered.
"Yes Lord Sesshomaru." they both said in unison. Hasu walked over to Caitlin and lifted her off the ground. She was lighter than she looked. Kohan followed behind.
"Come on. Remember we've got questions." Erin said, Kouga and Erin followed after them, leaving Sesshomaru and Totosai alone.
"Keep treating a girl like her, like that, and she'll drop you like it's hot." Totosai commented, which earned him a glare from Sesshomaru. "Hey, just stating a fact." Totosai added, then walked back into his cave. Sesshomaru knew he was right, but he couldn't bare the fact that if he lost Caitlin his world would come crashing down around him. She was the only pillar left to hold it up. His father was gone, Rin was gone, his mother was missing, and if she was gone, then everything would be ruined.
Sesshomaru left, then watched Hasu and Kohan escort Caitlin back to the castle. Erin and Kouga were walking behind them, not wanting to say something that would get Caitlin started again, Erin could tell that her friend was fuming, and she was sure that Hasu, who was carrying her, knew it all the better.
"Lady Caitlin, we should stop and bandage your wounds." Hasu said. Caitlin didn't respond. "Lady Caitlin?" Hasu asked.
"Hey, any one in there?" Kohan asked as he waved a hand in front of her face. Her eyes were fogged over and unfocused.
"CAIT!" Erin yelled, Caitlin still didn't move. "...Weird..." Erin muttered.
"We should just get her to the castle and not bother her until then." Kouga said, Hasu and Kohan nodded, then they continued to make their way to the castle.
Caitlin, are you ready to see more of your past? Chiko asked.
Why not? Might as well remember who I was before. Caitlin answered in a dull, annoyed, bored tone.
You don't sound too thrilled.
I'm not. But just send the memories my way.
If you insist.
Caitlin was smiling at someone. They had long black hair, and grey eyes, it was an old woman.
'Hey grandma.' She said, the old woman looked at her. 'Don't you feel like you could be doing something more with skills like yours?' Caitlin asked.
Her grandmother was one of the best kimono makers in Japan, but she didn't sell them, instead she gave them to Caitlin to wear.
'No. I like doing what I do. I like living how I live. It's better than selling things and becoming rich and lazy, and dependant on others to do things for you.' her grandmother answered.
'I see your point.' Caitlin said, and she really did. Just as Caitlin was about to say something else a young man burst in the door. He had a deep wound on his arm. 'Jay!' Caitlin said in surprise at the blood spilling from between his fingers. 'What happened?!'
'There's been an attack on the village. They're after you.' Jay added, looking at Caitlin. Caitlin was completely confused.
'What do you mean they're after me!?' Caitlin asked.
'I knew this day would come, I just didn't think that it would be so soon.' her grandmother stood up and grabbed something from under her bed. She threw a pack at Caitlin. 'Put it on.' She ordered.
'I'll hold them off while you two get away.' Jay said, he drew his sword.
'Wait! What's going on!?" Caitlin asked.
'Come.'
'Go!'
Caitlin was dragged from her house by her grandmother, for someone so old and frail looking she sure had a good strong grip. 'Will someone tell me what's going on!?' Caitlin asked, she was now annoyed.
'You are not my granddaughter. You are someone that I vowed to protect, along with Jay. There are things that you must do in the furture. Kelsi ordered us to raise you well and told us that if any one came looking for you that we were to send you into the furture via the Bone Eaters Well.' her grandmother explained.
'Why am I so important?! I'm just a girl from a poor village!'
'You are to do great things in the future, things that we ar-.' she was cut off by a loud scream. Caitlin's eyes widened in horror.
'JAY!' Caitlin yelled, she started to run back but her grandmother stopped her, when Caitlin looked back at her, it wasn't the same old lady. Now it was a beautiful young woman. 'Huh!?'
'My name is Kanei. I am a Fire Demon. Jay was my lover.' Kanei added.
'Akward...' Caitlin muttered.
'Come. We don't have time to waste.' Kanei added. She ran off with Caitlin following close behind. Kanei and Caitlin were making good time. At night fall they arrived at the Bone Eaters Well.
'We thought that you might come here.' a male said. Before Kanei was able to turn around she was stabbed through with a spear. Blood frothed from her mouth, then she stood in front of Caitlin.
'Stop it! Don't get yourself killed!' Caitlin yelled at Kanei.
'The one I love is already dead. There is no point in living. Go, Tonbo. I will be with Jay again.' Kanei added, Caitlin took a step towards Kanei. Just as she was about to touch Kanei, she was pushed into the well. The last thing that Caitlin saw was Kanei's death white face.
"Akward..." Caitlin muttered. Everyone looked at her. "What?"
"You've been out of it for over an hour and suddenly you just say 'akward', it's going to get our attention." Kohan answered.
"So, Mr. Cat CAN be smart when he wants to be!" Caitlin said with a little smirk. Kohan shot her a glare which made her laugh.
Erin, are you ready to see more things of your past? Chiko asked inside of Erin's mind.
Huh? Who're you? Erin asked.
I am Chiko, I was once part of the Time Counsil, I worked with Kelsi to subdue your memories.
Oh, so you mean that it was because of you that I don't remember anything from this time? Erin asked.
Yes. Are you ready for more memories?
Sure.
Good. This will be the last one that you need.
Erin stopped walking and her eyes fogged over, Kouga looked at her, then they realized that whatever had happened to Caitlin was happening to Erin, so Kouga picked her up and carried her the rest of the way.
Erin looked around, she was playing tag with her sister. No matter where she looked she couldn't find her.
'Eihei, come out! I can't find out!' Erin said, she had finally given up. Then her sister jumped out from a tree. 'No fair! You know that I can't climb trees yet!'
'It was never in the rules that I had to hide where you could get me.' Eihei said.
'Oh fine...'
'Well c'mon. I bet it's time to eat.' Eihei added. Erin nodded, then took her older sister's warm hand. Her sister was a good 2 feet taller than her, her hair was gold and her eyes were a warm brown.
Eihei and Erin walked into their village. Both girls gasped when they saw what had happened. People were lying dead all over the ground and houses were on fire. They saw someone running out of the smoke. It was Eihei's sutior, Togi.
'Togi, what's going on?!' Eihei asked.
'There was an attack, they were looking for your sister. We've got to get her to the Bone Eaters Well.' Togi added.
'How though? They're sure to be all over the place.' Eihei added.
'We will have to fight. I thought you might need these, so I brought them.' Togi added, he handed Eihei a pair of kunai's.
'Eihei doesn't know how to use them.' Erin chimed in. Eihei bent down to Erin.
'Yes I do. I'm not really your sister, Zasshuko, I am your gaurdian, as is Togi.' Eihei explained.
'You mean...all of this was a lie?' Erin asked.
'Yes. Now stay close to use, we have to get you to the Bone Eaters Well, where you will be safe.' Togi answered, then picked her up in one arm and carried her as he ran. Eihei was right next to her.
Arrows felw at the them, Eihei blocked them, but she got a few cuts and scrapes.
'Eihei!'
'Don't worry about me.'
'Quiet.' Togi ordered. The well came into veiw and so did a dead woman. 'It looks like Jay and Kanei already took Tonbo into the future. It cost both of them their lives...' Togi added, he set Erin down on the edge and looked around. Eihei was no where to be seen. 'This doesn't bode well...'
'I don't like it here...' Erin whispered.
'Shh.' Erin said nothing, and was looking all around. Suddenly Eihei fell from the trees. Her neck was snapped and Eihei was no longer in this world. Tears came to Erin's eyes and Togi growled. 'Jump into the well.' Togi ordered.
'But-!'
'Now!' Erin was pushed into the well, just was Togi was run through with a sword through his neck. That was the last thing that Erin had seen before she had left that time.
When Erin's eyes unfogged they were at Sesshomaru's castle and Caitlin was walking around, thinking. At least that's what Erin had guessed from the look on Caitlin's face.
"You sure seem to be thinking intently." Erin commented, Caitlin looked over to Erin.
"You saw your last moments in this time, yes?" Caitlin asked.
"Yeah, so?"
"What was your name?"
"Zasshuko." Erin answered. "Yours?"
"Tonbo."
"Ah, you left before I did."
"I figured. Anyways I don't get why we had to leave." Caitlin added.
"I don't either, why couldn't we of just stayed here?" Erin asked, both girled pondered a moment before being interupted.
"Lady Caitlin, Lady Erin, there is a woman here to see you."
"Who is it?" Erin and Caitlin asked.
