Me-I am so sorry for taking so long to update this, but on DA people love my NaruHina fanfics so this has been slow... and Sesshoumaru won't be in this... sorry...
Inu-hey I aint complainning
Kag-same...
Sess-but this Sesshoumaru does
Me-well this Fire Inu Princess says other wise, now shut up and let the readers enjoy
"So, why is Sesshoumaru after you Amaterasu?" Asked Sango as she poked at the flames, wondering why the Lord of the West would be after a sword smith… there was no way that he would want another sword, Sesshoumaru already had one… but… the more she thought about it the more she wondered why the demon never used it in the first place.
The blonde haired woman ran a hand through her hair as she said "Sesshoumaru wanted me to make a sword for him, one that could easily destroy or beat the Tetsusaiga… But I refused time and again… but still, he kept pestering me to make him that sword." Amaterasu sighed softly as she leaned against the tree, as if she was in deep thought. Though, she set her sunset coloured eyes on Inuyasha who was sitting by the lake that was nearby… she could easily sense the darkness floating around him…
"So, what's his story? The boy with the long black hair and weird clothing…"
"That's Inuyasha… he came from the future… he's a reincarnation of a monk but…" Sango stopped talking, which made Amaterasu stare at the young priestess with confusion and concern. Was there something wrong with the young man for it to concern Sango? "Lately, he's been having trouble… there is a strange darkness within him that it messing up his mind… when he gets angry, he loses control over the darkness that lives within him… Miroku gave him an earring that should help with the darkness but… we're not sure how much it'll help him…"
The goddess felt a little sorry for the young man… getting up, she walked over to Inuyasha who just so happened to be talking to the young hanyou. "Inuyasha, correct?"
Inuyasha looked up at Amaterasu and just stared at her with his violet eyes before turning away. "Yes, what do you need?" He said it with a strange emotion… she wasn't sure what it was… like it was some sort of inner fear… was he afraid of her?
"Are you afraid of me Inuyasha?"
"That depends… are you going to strike me down?"
"If you've committed a crime and harmed the innocent."
"Then I am…"
"Inuyasha stop that! You didn't hurt me for the last time."
This confused the blonde haired woman as she stared at the black haired teen, only for her gaze to turn to the earring that was in his left ear… She just stared at him, as if trying to figure him out. "That earring you wear… do you wear it to prevent the darkness?"
"Yes, but… earlier you touched it… what did you do?"
The goddess just smiled, guessing that Inuyasha was confused about what she had done to the earring that was to be used to prevent the darkness from controlling him. Giving a motherly smile, she sat down next to the two teens as she said "I just increased the spell, so long as you wear it… you will never lose control over it." She then patted his head; still giving him a warm smile though… she knew that she would have to explain the whole 'testing-Kagome's-strength'.
"Now… I should explain everything…"
Miroku and Sango along with Kirara went and sat on Inuyasha's lap. Looking up at the Sun Goddess as they all wondered what was going on… what may or may not be the reason to why she attacked in the first place. Amaterasu sighed softly as she started to explain everything…
"I wanted to see if Kagome could fight her own battles… if she was worthy of the Tetsusaiga… I needed to be sure if the power had been placed in the right hands. That her father hadn't been drunk when he decided to give it to her… though, I was surprised that she was able to handle the fight that well…"
"I lost…"
"Yes, but you woke up much sooner than I had thought."
Inuyasha laughed a bit and patted Kagome's back hoping that it would keep the hanyou seated. Kagome just rolled her eyes and lay down on the grass just staring up at the sky. Amaterasu just sighed softly as she said "well, anyway… it seems that Tetsusaiga has much to teach you… like the Wind Scar."
"What's that?"
"The Tetsusaiga's Ultimate Technique…"
Kagome just stared at the Sun Goddess as if she had grown a second head. How… when did the Tetsusaiga have such a move? Wait; was it that one move that she had done with those snow beasts that she had fought when she was in Inuyasha's time? Shaking her head, the young hanyou tried to think back on how she had unleashed that move in the first place…
Though, nothing came to mind for her at the moment, the memory of that battle was a little foggy, well… the memory of how she used that attack.
Sighing softly, Kagome ran a hand through her hair thinking that there was no point in trying to learn an attack that possibly wouldn't have worked for her in the first place. Though, right now… she didn't think that she could handle trying the attack now… it would take her a full day to fully recover. Though, as she was in her own world, Inuyasha had risen to his feet and walked away… and taking his guitar…
Looking around, Inuyasha placed the strap of his guitar over his shoulders and started to pluck a few strings to see if he needed to adjust them again. Taking a deep breath, Inuyasha looked up at the sky… he never understood why but music always seemed to calm him down… Sighing softly, he turned to the side as he started to feel the words flowing through him.
"Moments that seem like they can change both me
And even the world are always right next to me..."
Inuyasha looked up at the sky, he knew that the things that he had been through had changed him… some for the better, but some for the worse… he didn't know why these things have been happening… but what he did know, was that most of these changes had allowed him to grow up a bit...
"Gazing at the irritation I can't hide and myself as I stand stock still"
Giving a sad smile, Inuyasha couldn't help but know that it was true… he couldn't hide himself… most of the stories he had told were only half true… and half lies… No matter what he did, it just wouldn't do anything for him… people were wondering why he had the scar, why he mumbled to himself about colours… why he looked like he had been working out instead of losing weight from the time his grandfather had told the school he had the flu.
"Despite my hesitation, despite my worries, despite my regrets, I should decide
With one word you've given me, my bewilderment vanishes"
Taking a deep breath, Inuyasha knew that no matter what… no matter what he feels… he shouldn't let them get the better of him. That he should just keep taking a step forward… and gather the shards of the Shikon Jewel before it was too late… Before Kagura gets them and uses them for… whatever reason…
"Light shone in my once empty room"
Thinking back on the day of his birthday, if anyone had told him that he would have been transported to the past, he would have just laughed thinking that they were crazy, that they were high or even drunk. But, to him it just brought a new light on his life… he wanted more excitement and he got it…
"The sky I gazed up at is so blue and serene
I decided to open up a window that was shut
Moments that seem like they can change both me
And even the world are always right next to me..."
Inuyasha stared at the sky, wondering how the sky still looked so peaceful… how it managed to look so calm while there is always battles between demons and humans… when humans are always tainted by the power of the Shikon… it always made him wonder why that was… but no matter what… he just couldn't think of why this always happened…
"Searching for answers that must be in the unfulfillable everyday"
Inuyasha had tried to search for answers… but no matter what, he just couldn't bring himself to get any answers to his questions… such as why was he the one to be brought here? Why was he the reincarnation of Kai? Why… why was the Shikon Jewel in his body in the first place?
"If I turn around towards the lonesome, gentle voice in the sunlight"
The young teen stared at the sun that was in the sky, the scar over his left eye shined as if sensing the power within the bright ball of fire that shined down on everything… It made him wonder how… how his life could have been so boring to… to so dangerous and exciting at the same time… Sighing, he kept plucking at the strings, ignoring the small burning in his fingers.
"You unexpectedly smile in the midst of brilliant sunlight
I'm about to open up a window that was shut
An existence that seems like it can change both me
And even the world is right in front of my eyes..."
Yawning, Inuyasha smiled up at the sky, thankful that the sun was his light… but, the thing that helped him get through everything… was his friends… Their smiles and cheerfulness was enough to help him get through the battles and everything that was thrown at him… it was enough…
" The sky I gazed up at is so blue and serene
I decided to open up a window that was shut
Right now, I sense here a moment that seems
Like it can change me and even the world...
Spread both your hands towards the light..."
Sighing, Inuyasha wondered why his life felt like it had been getting harder and harder for him… it felt like it was never ending… that the battles would never stop so long as the Shikon was in this world… if only… if only he could get the shards they had to disappear now so it could never be whole to be used for evil…
"A fragrant wind the color of the sky blows through my heart"
"You play quite well… the gods must have decided to give you such a gift."
Inuyasha turned around and saw Amaterasu giving him a motherly smile; it made him miss his own mother… Though, Inuyasha pulled his guitar and made it rest over his back as he stared at the goddess that stood before him. Why did she follow him? Was there something that she had to speak to him about?
"What do you need?" He asked with a polite stare and voice, not wanting to anger this goddess… he had heard the stories… even some of the stories that he had heard in games…
"I just wish to speak to you… about your friend Kagome… and about you."
"What are you talking about?"
"I've seen that both of you will have much to do in your futures… there are many paths that you will take… some that are not good… and some that are. You will have many tasks to face to conquer the darkness that resides in your soul."
Inuyasha just stared at the blonde woman, not really sure what to say… did she see the future just by staring at people or what? Shaking his head, Inuyasha tried to think of something else, something, and anything to say that could prove that she would be wrong… but nothing came to him…
Sighing softly, Inuyasha stared at Amaterasu as he said "what makes you say that?"
"I am the Sun Goddess, creator and mother of us all and all that is good… I know anything that will cause harm to this world before it happens." She calmly said her motherly smile still in place. Inuyasha just stared at her with confusion though…
Inuyasha just sighed, so he had many paths to take in order to control the darkness huh… who would have ever thought it… "Anything else I should know of?"
"Yes, beware the one wolf demon… for whenever the white wolf demon shall be near, Kagome will have nothing but rage."
'What?'
Shaking his head Inuyasha decided to walk back to the camp, maybe Kagome will learn the Wind Scar… though, and Inuyasha feared that Kagome wouldn't be able to learn it… Though, when he had returned, Inuyasha just stared at Kagome and watched as she was thrown back and hit the water which had caused Inuyasha to give a nervous laugh. 'Looks like Kagome will need a lot of help…'
