Chapter twelve: Friday's death sentence (part two)
"Kya-chan!" came Kagome's call. Kya looked up and tripped backwards but Inuyasha caught her," oi, what's wrong?" he asked worriedly, Kya's lip trembled and she started to shake with her held in cries.
[Saturday morning]
The next morning, Mr. and Mrs. Hagashi got up and checked on Kya to see that Inuyasha was in the bed with her. Mr. Hagashi turned red with rage and literally threw Inuyasha from the bed; this woke Kya up as well, especially since Inuyasha shouted a very loud,
"Oi!"
Kya woke with a start and looked about her wildly, then sighed when she saw that it was only her parents.
"Dad, Inuyasha wasn't doing anything, I allowed him in my bed because I trust him not to do anything. He's not like the men of this era." Kya sighed and sleepily stood up. Mr. Hagashi straightened himself and muttered a 'sorry' to Inuyasha.
"Keh! Whatever." Was Inuyasha's reply. Kya softly laughed to herself and got out of the bed and stretched back, you could hear the cracking of her bones as she stretched.
"I'm gonna go change, then I'm heading to the federal period with Inuyasha, or do you guys need me here for something?"
Kya asked. Mr. Hagashi shook his head," no, but how long are you going to be gone?" he asked. Kya looked up in thought, then, at her adoptive father.
"Dunno, most likely a couple days, the most two weeks. Is that okay?" Kya asked again. Mr. Hagashi smiled.
"No, that's fine." He pulled Kya close and hugged her. Mrs. Hagashi joined in and Inuyasha stood by awkwardly and just watched them.
After hugging, Kya changed into some black shorts and navy blue shirt with a black choker on. Kya decided that she didn't want shoes so she just pulled on some denim converse so that people wouldn't notice her too much, she was just going to take them off at the well anyway.
Kya pulled out a backpack and put some daggers in it as well as some other clothing.
"Bye Mama, bye Papa, see you later!" Kya called as she and Inuyasha left the apartment, Mr. and Mrs. Hagashi said their goodbyes as well.
….
"One sec Inuyasha, I have to get something." Kya said turning towards a shop, Inuyasha stopped and walked after her after looking at the shop for a little bit.
Once inside the shop, Inuyasha looked around while Kya walked deeper into the store.
"Hey Jarico-san, how's it goin'?" Kya called out to the man at the counter. He looked up at her and smiled,
"Well, if it isn't Hagashi Kya, what brings you to my shop, looking for something special?" the man, Jarico, asked. Kya smiled up at the taller man.
"Yes, in fact, I am. I'm looking for the sword I ordered five months ago." Kya stated as if it were the most normal thing in the entire world. Inuyasha stared at her wide eyed while Jarico just laughed.
"Okay, okay, I know. I was supposed to give that to you two months ago, you won the bet fair and square anyway so I'll just go in the back and get it. Be right back." And with that, Jarico slipped into the back room.
Inuyasha looked at Kya skeptically," what's this about a bet?" he asked. Kya smiled up at him.
"We had a bet that if I could go two months without any meat or dairy he'd give me a knife, or sword of my choice." Kya calmly stated. Inuyasha was even more confused.
"What is this place?" he asked Kya. Kya looked up at him," a weapons shop. What did you think it was with all the damn swords, knives and guns everywhere? A toy shop?" Kya asked in an exasperated way. Inuyasha looked away, blushing in embarrassment and mumbled a 'sorry'. Kya shook her head and chuckled to herself.
"No problem, it doesn't really matter to me, Inuyasha, it's just that I thought that you would've noticed what type of shop it is." Kya laughed a bit while Inuyasha continued to blush while stubbornly looking away.
After Kya's laughter ceased, Inuyasha and her stood in silence, waiting for Jarico to come back, when suddenly, Inuyasha turned and looked at Kya.
"Why are you even inside of a weapons shop? Aren't you too young?" he questioned. Kya looked at him then away," I dunno. I sorta just ended up here once a while back, when I hadn't been adopted by my parents now, and would hide away here, waiting for the perfect opportunity to return to the home I was at,"
"That's also how I met Jarico. He would let me hide in the back of the store for a while. He never asked any questions, just let me hang around and made sure I didn't accidently hurt myself with one of the guns or sharp objects. That's where my fascination for swords came from, here." Kya explained then smiled up at Inuyasha, this made Inuyasha smile in return,
"So, he your boyfriend or something?" suddenly out of nowhere Jarico's voice sounded in front of them. They both jumped from surprise and turned to look at him.
Kya's face lit up bright red," n-no! You got it all wrong!" she yelled out in embarrassment, Inuyasha just nodded his head, his face, too, red as a tomato.
Jarico laughed.
"I was just poking fun; you take things to seriously, Hagashi-chan. You need to loosen up a little." Kya looked away in a stubborn and embarrassed way, Inuyasha started to laugh at her as well. Kya looked up at him and poked his side hard,
"Ow! Oi, what was that for?!" Inuyasha yelled,
"For laughing at me, of course!" Kya yelled back.
"He was laughing too!" Inuyasha yelled, pointing to Jarico. Jarico was laughing even more at this point.
"Okay, you two, let's stop here before you go raging on like an old married couple." Jarico said after laughing some more. Kya looked away again, and then she turned back to Jarico.
"Gimme my sword, now….. Please?" she asked in a not-so-happy tone. Jarico laughed again and handing her a long case with a handle on it,
"Here you go, bye Hagashi-chan." Jarico said kindly. Kya weakly smiled back and swiftly turned around and left the shop, but not before mumbling a quiet 'bye ' and Inuyasha was right behind her.
….
Inuyasha and Kya were both at the well now. Kya slipped her shoes off and opened the case. The sword inside was long and sharp, it having a silver handle that seemed to have been twisted and at the bottom of the handle was a sharp looking point, like it was a knife. The blade was long and thin, like a rapier, but a little thicker, with a spiraling like hilt that had small red rubies in it.
Kya smiled at the sword as she pulled it out of its container, and with it, pulled out a pitch black sheath that had red rubies lining it from top to bottom.
Kya looked at the sheath, surprised.
"I told him to just get a normal sheath, not this…." Her voice faded, then, she giggled lightly to herself," ah, Jarico, you devil." She whispered, and if it weren't for Inuyasha's good hearing he wouldn't have heard her.
Kya stood up and showed Inuyasha her dazzling blade," ya like it? I think it's really pretty, and cool." She smiled as Inuyasha examined the fine blade, holding it lightly in his hands. He then handed it back to her.
"It seems like a nice sword. You'll have to test it out on something to see if it's strong enough for you though." Inuyasha replied. Kya nodded her head and fastened the sheath around her hips, pushing the sword in once it was tight enough.
After that, Inuyasha and Kya jumped into the well and journeyed to the federal period.
….
Kya and Inuyasha climbed out of the well and into the federal period. Kya took a deep breath of the fresh air and sighed, as always, she loved it, the nice fresh air that seemed to disappear whenever she was in her era. Kya sighed contentedly and stretched her hands to the sky,
"Ah, this is great!" she exclaimed happily. Inuyasha chuckled at her childishness, but agreed with her," yeah, it is." He said softly. Kya turned and looked at Inuyasha with some concern written on her face.
"Inuyasha, you okay?" Kya asked concerned. Inuyasha looked at her confused," okay? I'm perfectly fine, why?" he asked, curious. Kya sighed in relief.
"Oh, that's good. You never look that happy or act that nice, so I was worried." Inuyasha's eye twitched. Kya then started to laugh really hard, and it echoed around the clearing making Inuyasha puff out his cheeks in annoyance and embarrassment.
After Kya finished laughing, she took hold of Inuyasha's hand and started to pull on it," c'mon, we have to get going. Didn't you say that everyone was worried?" she asked in a mocking tone. Inuyasha growled lowly in his throat, yet again annoyed by Kya's mocking tone and words.
[In front of Miroku's house]
Inuyasha suddenly felt tired as he stared at Miroku's house. Kya glanced at him and raised a brow.
"What's wrong, Inuyasha? You look tired." She asked, kindly. He looked at her and sighed," I don't know. I just suddenly feel tired." Kya stood on her tip toes while bringing Inuyasha's head down, a deep blush covered Inuyasha's face because it looked like Kya was about to kiss him, and he was kind of wishing she would…..
"Wait…" Inuyasha thought," do I, want to kiss her? Do I even like her? What about Kagome?! But... What's this heat spreading through my body at the thought of her kissing me…?" Inuyasha's mind was racing with these thoughts as his face got closer to Kya's face. But before Inuyasha could stop her, or urge her Kya's forehead touched his own.
"Hmm, you don't have a fever, so I'm guessing you're not sick…. Huh, but your faces' all red, are you sure you just feel tired Inuyasha? …. Inuyasha…?" Kya called his name, staring at him with her deep blue eyes that seemed to see right through him. Inuyasha shook his head, trying to clear his mind of his impure thoughts,
"I am such an idiot! How could I think that Kya wanted to kiss me?! And why did I want it so much?" Inuyasha yelled at himself in his mind. Then Inuyasha remembered that Kya asked if he was okay, so he pulled himself together and looked at her and smiled weakly.
"Yeah, just… tired." Kya looked at him closely, then nodded her head unsuredly and walked away into the house. Once she was in Inuyasha heard everyone start greeting her, he even heard Sesshomaru's voice greet Kya. Inuyasha then let out his held in air and hit himself on the head and yelled at himself in his mind.
After some self-arguing, Inuyasha was calm enough to go in. He was greeted by everyone like Kya had been before him. But he wasn't expecting the question that was thrown at him from Sango,
"Inuyasha! Where were you? Kya arrived some time ago, were you just standing outside like a creeper or something?" she asked. Inuyasha didn't know what to say. He didn't want to tell them that he was outside because he was having a self-argument but he didn't know what else to say!
Inuyasha opened his mouth, just about to respond when Kya's voice cut in.
"Oh, I didn't tell you?" everyone, including Inuyasha, turned to look at her.
"Didn't tell us what?" Sango asked. Kya smiled sheepishly and scratched the back of her head sheepishly," oh, I guess I didn't…. Well, when me and Inuyasha got through the well I ran on ahead and didn't wait for him, so that's probably what took him so long, sorry for not telling everyone, and Sango, you know Inuyasha better than me! Why would you assume that he was just standing there like a creeper?" Sango looked away in embarrassment and apologized to Inuyasha.
Inuyasha said it was fine, but he was shocked that Kya made up that lie for him. He looked at her and she smiled softly at him and winked. That told Inuyasha that she knew that there must have been a reason for him not following her immediately so she got his back.
Inuyasha smiled lightly and mouthed 'thank you'. Kya just smiled then turned to Rin, who was beside her, and started to talk to her.
….
Some time passed and it was nearing lunch time. Kya helped Sango prepare the food while Rin and Miroku watched the kids. Sesshomaru looked at Inuyasha with a knowing glance. Inuyasha looked back at him, confused. What was Sesshomaru saying he knew? Then it hit him.
Sesshomaru knew that Kya was lying. He, like Inuyasha has a great nose and ears. He could probably smell and hear him outside the house when Kya first walked in, he might've even heard the short conversation between them.
Inuyasha suddenly felt nervous, but Sesshomaru just gave him that knowing glance then looked away, acting like it never happened. Inuyasha was confused about that as well, until he saw Sesshomaru look at Kya.
He didn't look at her in a sexual way, but a respectful way. Inuyasha realized that Sesshomaru respects Kya for standing up to him for what she believed in, for Rin and to show him that humans aren't useless and for him to be true to himself and admit that he loves Rin.
But not just that.
Kya has had hell as life. Her life was, by far more horrible than Inuyasha and Sesshomaru's combined. And for her to be able to still be standing and happy was amazing. Yes, Sesshomaru respects Kya, and that's why he didn't say that she was lying for Inuyasha.
Inuyasha found it amazing that Sesshomaru could respect anyone other than their father and his mother, Sesshomaru's not Inuyasha's. Inuyasha was yet again amazed by Higashi Kya, by how she had gotten the respect of someone like Sesshomaru for just saying the truth.
Inuyasha shook his head and sighed. He'd never understand that strange girl, she was just too different to understand, but, that was what drew people to her he guessed.
Inuyasha was pulled from his train of thought when Sango and Kya announced that lunch was ready. The gang all sat around the pot and Kya and Sango served everyone.
….
After lunch was over Kya and Rin helped Sango clean up. They offered to wash the dishes because Sango needed her rest; Sango thanked them and sat down, looking a little more exhausted than usual and Miroku had her lay her head in his lap. Sango fell asleep almost immediately and Kya and Rin continued to clean up.
[Time skip (again, too lazy to write anything here -.-)]
It was now late afternoon. The sun was still up but the skies were starting to turn orange and pink and gold, it was nearing dusk and Inuyasha wasn't enjoying it because of Kya. She had run off somewhere again.
She probably forgot where she was and stuck in her own little world or 'lost track of time' was one of her most recent excuses. Inuyasha sighed while he followed her scent, for a human, she left behind a pretty strong scent wherever she went, Inuyasha didn't even have to stop and try to find which direction she went which was strange because he always had to do that, even with the things he knew the scents of by heart.
Inuyasha sighed once again and took a left. He was miles away from the village at this point and it both annoyed and worried Inuyasha because Kya didn't usually wonder this far so she could be in trouble….
The thought of Kya being in trouble scared Inuyasha more than he thought it should but he unconsciously started to go faster and faster and faster until he was running at full speed.
He ran for a good ten minutes before Kya's scent got a lot stronger, she was nearby. Inuyasha slowed his pace and looked around himself for Kya. He was picking the scents of other beings, they were human. Inuyasha then heard some sort of fight going on, going towards it he found some children huddled by a tree while someone was fighting someone else with a sword.
Inuyasha looked up and saw Kya fighting some man that was rather large and had a massive sword in hand it was more like a claymore than a normal sword. Inuyasha saw something red running down Kya arm and the smell of blood and Kya's scent flowed to his nose.
Inuyasha drew his sword and jumped in front of Kya. He heard a small gasp that sounded similar to his name but Inuyasha wasn't paying attention to her, he was paying attention to the huge man before him.
The man raised a brow and laughed at Inuyasha, showing off his yellow and rotting teeth.
"What's this? A little demon come to fight for the princess? Oh how lovely, but as you failed to notice, you're trapped." And he laughed and a large group of men come out of the shadows of the trees and both Kya and Inuyasha felt nervous.
They didn't know if they could take them all on while protecting each other, then Inuyasha remembered that there were children there and he had to protect them as well.
Inuyasha growled out in frustration and charged the man in front of him, Kya charged in the other direction, guarding the children while Inuyasha guarded her.
….
Their fight went on for quite a while, Inuyasha was growing weary but he wasn't about to give up and neither was Kya. The men were falling dead, one after the other but more seemed to be coming after the ones that fell,
"At this rate, we'll get to worn out to fight off these men…" Inuyasha thought, making a go at the large man that seemed like the leader of them all.
"Growing tired?" the large man asked. Inuyasha just growled at him and swung at him, using his wind scar, but for some reason it wasn't working on the man.
Kya slowed down her mind and tried to see anything that could let them win and she saw something, but she would have to do it herself, so she yelled,
"Inuyasha! Switch!"
Inuyasha looked confused but he didn't have much time to think about it before Kya came running forward leaving the children in harms' way so Inuyasha had to move back to protect them.
Inuyasha fought off the men attacking the children and watched Kya as she stood in front of the giant man, he smiled creepily down at her but she just glared up at him.
"Aw, don't give me that face princess, come on, let's play and I'll leave those children alone if you'll play with me~." The man said in a sultry and seductive voice, well, he thought it was seductive, everyone else thought it was revolting.
Kya shook her head and glared daggers at him. The man sighed and said as if dismayed," too bad, I didn't want to have to kill such a beautiful creature such as you, but you leave me no choice." And he swung his blade down at her.
Kya jumped out of the way of the sword and it crashed into the ground, making it get stuck in the ground and leaving the man trying to pull it out. Kya ran over and grabbed onto the large blade and closed her eyes, she seemed to be consentrating.
Inuyasha didn't know what she was doing until the light purple glow started to surround her and then it started going around the blade, slowly making it way one the man. The man let go as soon as the purple glow started to climb him but it just continued on its' way. He tried to wipe it off but it just kept going all around him while Kya lifted her sword which had the same purple glow on it.
The man looked terrified and tried to run away, but he couldn't move anymore and Kya jumped forward and cut his head off.
His head fell to the ground with a thud and all the men attacking Inuyasha stopped and looked, they all looked terrified and then ran away, screaming.
Kya was standing by the large mans' body and she was breathing heavily. She turned and looked at Inuyasha and the children, smiled, then fainted. Inuyasha jumped forward and picked Kya up, bringing her over to the tree with all the children.
[Some time later]
Inuyasha found out that Kya had bumped into the children on her walk, but that was a couple miles back and she had talked with them and found out that they were lost. They were with one of their parents when suddenly that man came out and killed the parent, he was going on about selling them to a brothel and the eldest of the children was able to pull themselves out of their terror long enough to bring the rest out and for them to run. They just ran and ran and had somehow lost the man and his men along the way.
That was a couple days ago. The children had been wondering around the forest since then and have been looking for their village which was miles from there. Kya bumped into them and was going to help them when the man and his men came out of nowhere and tried to attack them. Kya, at first, ran with the children, Inuyasha concluded that she was trying to avoid a fight so the children were less likely getting hurt that way,
But, the man caught up and Kya had no choice but to run, but for some reason the men didn't grab the children and take off, they had been waiting for Inuyasha. They had heard Kya talk about someone that was probably going out to look for her soon that was very strong and could protect them from those men and get them home safe.
So that's why Inuyasha was suddenly ambushed and so one so forth.
Kya was still out and it was growing dark, too dark for them to travel back to either village safely. There were about twenty children, there were too many to move safely in the night so Inuyasha told them that they were going to go look for their homes in the morning and so he built them a fire and was somehow able to gather enough berries and rodents for everyone.
Kya woke up right when Inuyasha was trying to figure out how to cook the food. She laughed at him and did it for him, tell the children to look around for some flat pieces of wood, Inuyasha helped them and most of them had a piece of wood.
Kya finished cooking the food and she gave some to everyone.
After they ate everyone got tired and they went to sleep. The smaller children, who were around six and seven years old, were given Inuyasha's red shirt top as a blanket.
After they had fallen asleep, Kya got up and looked for her sword that was lying in the grass somewhere. She found it and walked over to the small stream that was nearby, she knew it was there because she could hear it, and she washed the blood off her sword.
Silence stretched between Inuyasha and Kya until Kya started to giggle. Inuyasha looked at her weirdly," what?" he asked, Kya looked at him.
"Well, you said that I had to test it, my sword is tested and fit for my use." And she continued to giggle some more. Inuyasha shook his head, reminding himself that he would never get the strange girl with him.
After Kya finished washing her sword she wiped off the water in the grass and sheathed it. She got up and walked over to the fire Inuyasha was sitting at, he was keeping watch over them all.
Kya put a hand on his shoulder," you don't have to stay up all night, I can take over for now while you get some sleep, we can switch later." She smiled at him but Inuyasha shook his head.
"No. I have too much energy from the fight to sleep. You sleep and I'll wake you up when I start getting tired, 'kay?" Kya sighed then nodded her head, sat beside him and laid her head on his lap. Inuyasha jumped with a start when she did that.
"What the hell are you doing?" he asked in a hushed voice, trying not to wake up the children. Kya looked at him and smiled tiredly," resting my head, unless you don't want me to do it here?" she asked. Inuyasha shook his head," it's fine, you just startled me that's all." Kya nodded her head and turned her head away again and fell asleep.
Inuyasha sighed and put his hand on her head, stroking her silky smooth hair and keeping a watchful eye and ear out for any intruders, all the while running his hand through Kya's dark hair.
Realme: well… That was exciting. I don't really know what's going on anymore, like, this story is starting to write its self and it's kinda creeping me out. Anyway, that's all and stuffs and those fluffy moments were killing me, oh my gosh, how corny can I get? Anywho, bye bye Peeps X3!
