Hanyou's Daughter Pt 4
Inu Yasha and Shika were walking around, looking for anything appetizing. Everything was silent and it was a bit uncomfortable. Shika tried to start a conversation.
"So, what do you think of Tamahome? Is he okay?" Inu Yasha never got to respond because suddenly, there was a rumble in the earth and Shika fell to the ground. She looked around, but Inu Yasha was no where to be found.
"INU YASHA!" she screamed. Something shiny caught Shika's eye. It was a hair. She picked up a twig and tried to hit it, but the twig was cut as soon as it went through the hair. "That. is not. normal hair." she said to herself. Shika began to look around uneasily. She was afraid of that hair and who was on the other end. She screamed again, "INU YASHA! WHERE ARE YOU!" Suddenly, a lady appeared in a tree and smiled at her. She held a skull with lots of long hairs.
"Hello there, young child. I think I would like lovely dark hair like yours. Hold still, it won't hurt a bit," The lady pulled out a knife and lunged at her, the hair not affecting her as she passed right through it. Fortunately, Inu Yasha landed on the lady and took the knife.
"Now, what is this about wanting her hair?" He looked at her for a while before realizing that she seemed familiar. Hair. She wants hair. She looks familiar now that I think of it. What would this wretch want with Shika's hair.?
"Hello Inu Yasha. You thought you defeated me back then, huh? Well, I'm back and harvesting hair, still aiming for the Shikon shards, as I see it, you have about half of the jewel, is that correct?" Inu Yasha glared and began to step back. He whispered to Shika,
"I remember now. Shika, go back to the cave and get Tamahome and Kagome, will you," but as soon as the words left his mouth, a string of hairs made a circle around Shika and Inu Yasha.
"Tut tut! You shall be staying here, by dears! I would love to have your scalps of hair! Such think fine hair you both have! Yura of the Hair will have your heads before this day is through," She laughed evilly and began to comb the skull again. Some of the hairs began to wrap around Shika's neck and pull her closer to Yura, but Inu Yasha shredded the hairs and stood in front of her.
"You want our head. Feh. You'll have to take them from us," He challenged. Shika jumped in front of Inu Yasha and took off her left glove.
"Bring it ON!" she stood as the hair crept closer and closer. Soon, Shika was out of the circle and at Yura's face. She slapped her with her right hand and grabbed the skull away from her.
"What a disrespectful little ingrate you are! You'll pay with your own head if you don't give that back to me this instant," The hair around Inu Yasha began to go limp and he escaped with no problem. Shika ran off with the skull. Yura began to chase after her with Inu Yasha not far behind. He was gaining on her, however, and it wasn't long before Inu Yasha was right behind her.
"So, what strange thing did you do to your soul this time?" he asked with a snort. He took a swipe at her head with his claw, but there was no physical damage done. He took another swipe and she turned around.
"I didn't do anything. I don't even have my soul with me. I left it in the Makai, along with my body. I am a ghost and you can't defeat me! I am free to TAKE OFF YOUR HEAD!" He laughed as she took out another sword. Suddenly, they heard a flute playing. It was an unfamiliar song, but it seemed to affect Yura. She began to melt into the ground. All that was left of her after the song had ended, was the comb she had been using to comb the skull. The skull also disappeared when Yura had left. Inu Yasha looked up in the tree above him and saw Tamahome and Shika. He looked by the trunk and there stood Kagome. She ran to him and gave him a big hug.
"You, don't scare me like that anymore! I thought she was going to take your head off and use your hair to kill us all!" Inu Yasha looked surprised.
"When did you get here?" Kagome frowned.
"When you tried to hit her head and it didn't work. I was watching the whole thing and it was pretty intense," Shika and Tamahome got down from the tree and Shika went to Inu Yasha, and said,
"You're not hurt, are you?" He shook his head and looked to Tamahome, who seemed to be staring at him.
"What are you looking at?!" He snapped at him. Tamahome looked away quickly and jumped into the tree. He said nothing. He just started walking back to the cave. Shika ran to catch up with him and they walked along side each other, holding hands. Kagome and Inu Yasha let them walk ahead. When they stared walking, Kagome asked,
"Do you notice something weird about Shika?" Inu Yasha thought for a while, but couldn't think of anything, so he answered,
"Well, What do you think about her? There's nothing different if you ask me," Kagome looked at the ground and kicked a rock as hard as she could. It stumbled to a stop and Kagome ran to kick it again.
"I was just wonder if you saw anything you recognized, that's all," He began to picture Shika and then said,
"Well, now that you said something," Kagome looked up hopefully, but Inu Yasha finished, "She reminds me of Kikyo. Her hair and everything, you know," Kagome glared at Inu Yasha with tears in her eyes.
"Well, I guess you'll run back to Kikyo, like always, then," she said harshly, "I guess I don't matter anyway. I'll just go back to my time with Shika," Inu Yasha was puzzled.
"Why are you mad? I was just telling the truth! She does look like Kikyo, in some ways," But Kagome wasn't listening. She was muttering quietly to herself. Inu Yasha looked at Shika, who was talking to Tamahome. She did seem to act like Kagome in other ways, he concluded, but didn't say it out loud. Kagome began to walk faster. She was ahead of him with her arms crossed against her chest. " HEY! What do you mean, you and Shika leaving?!" he called after her, but she was already too far. Then, Shika stopped walking and she turned around to face Kagome. She opened her mouth, but decided not to say anything. Tamahome kept walking. He didn't stop and wait for Shika. Neither did Kagome. She stood there, waiting for Inu Yasha.
"You guys fighting?"
"If that's what you want to call it."
"She was crying, did you know that?" Shika pointed out little water droplets on the dry path. Inu Yasha just snapped.
"Well, I just said you reminded me of Kikyo and she got mad. I don't see why who you look like is important, but she seems to think it is," He began to walk in circles and blab things to Shika, but when he finished, she wasn't there. "SHIKA!" Then he noticed that here was a trail of hair going off the path and into the forest. "They left when I was screaming." and before taking off into the woods, he went back to the cave where Kagome and Tamahome were talking again. He guessed it was about him, because Tamahome began his peculiar stare again.
"Where's Shika.?" Tamahome asked slowly. He looked around for her, but she wasn't there.
"SHIKA WAS KIDNAPPED! WE HAVE TO SAVE HER BEFORE SHE TAKES HER HEAD OFF!!" He bellowed. Kagome stood up, but was holding onto Tamahome's tail, so he fell over when she stood.
"OUCH! LET MY TAIL GOOOO!" he said with a whine. "ahhhh. Shika did that exact same thing, but I was in a tree." Inu Yasha grabbed Kagome's arm and began to pull her out of the cave and onto the path.
"Hurry! Before the hair goes away! Come on!" He started to go faster. Kagome tried to get him to let go so she could walk, but he had a tight grip on her arm.
"Inu Yasha! Wait! You have to explain! I'M BEING DRAGGED LET GO! Alright. you've forced me,"
"Why are we being DRAGGED!" Tamahome added. She pulled to a stop and yelled as loud as she could,
" SIT!" Inu Yasha went face first into the dirt. Kagome was also holding onto Tamahome's tail, so he was being dragged all the way. Kagome looked up at the house, and there were claw marks goring from the house to the trail. Kagome helped Tamahome up, who was covered in dust and had some scratches on his arms.
"Inu Yasha! Man, she's going to be dead by the time we get there!" Tamahome said worriedly. He ran off before Inu Yasha had time to recover. A few minutes, he came back. "Won't you hurry?! I don't know the way so we have to go together!!" He grabbed Inu Yasha's ear and yelled, "SHIKA NEEDS OUR HELP!" Inu Yasha jolted up and held his ear.
"I KNOW! I HEAR YOU, TOO!" He put Kagome on his back and sprinted away. Tamahome was left to follow.
Meanwhile.
Shika was being held over a cliff. If the hair released her, she would fall to her death, even though she was a demon, she didn't have enough strength to survive a fall like that.
"Oh, look what you did! I have this ugly scratch mark on my arm!" Yura squealed as she examined the little scratches. Shika was glaring. She was wrapped in hair and the only thing you could see of her was her nose and eyes. "Don't worry. I'll be over soon enough. Just as soon as I can get those Shikon shards."
"Guess who?" Called out a voice behind her. There was a cracking noise. Yura turned around to see Tamahome. She frowned.
"You always come at the worst times! Why couldn't you come when I had her hair already! Hmmm. no matter. I'll have the pleasure of taking your head as well as hers!" A net of hair covered Tamahome, but he broke through easily. Then, an arrow shot Yura in the back of the head. She faltered a bit, but pulled it out with no effort. The arrow had done nothing!
"What are you!?" a female voice called from somewhere in the clump of trees behind Yura. Yura looked around, forgetting Shika and Tamahome for a while. Tamahome lunged at Shika and tried to get her out of the hairy mess, but the hairs kept multiplying. Suddenly, another arrow shot out and struck Yura in the heart. She again pulled it out with no effort. Frustrated, Yura called out,
"Come out and face me, or are you afraid of me?" Kagome appeared from behind a tree. Kagome had another arrow drawn, ready to let it fly at any second. Inu Yasha jumped down from a tree and yelled,
"You want her hair, do you? Well, you'll have to take her from us!" Yura began to laugh.
"Whatever do you mean?! She's in my care right now. I'd think you should be worried about how to get her back from ME!" Tamahome ran back to Inu Yasha without Shika. When she figured out what they had done, it was already too late. Shika was free and playing the tune again. Yura began to melt into the ground again. Unexpectedly, the hair that had held Shika was moving towards her, inch by smallest inch. Then, with lighting fast speed, it pulled her down over the cliff before disappearing. Shika hadn't finished the song, so Yura reappeared.
"SHIKA!" Tamahome, Inu Yasha, and Kagome all ran to the edge of the cliff and looked down. There, She was holding onto a small crook in the rock. She called,
"I'm okay, but- BEHIND YOU! NO!" Yura appeared behind them and pushed Tamahome off the edge. He fell, but not very far. He had been able to catch a tree root and hold his grip. Shika gave a sigh of relief, but she couldn't see what was happening at the top. She heard a shrill scream and Kagome's face over the edge. Yura was holding her by the hair and threatened to throw her off if they didn't give her the Shikon shards.
"NO! Don't throw her off!!" She heard Tamahome yell at Yura, but she ignored him. With her one free hand, Shika began to play the song. Yura let go of Kagome, which almost made her fall over the edge. When she had finished the song, Yura was gone, but there was another problem. Shika was loosing her grip on the rock.
"Hang in! We'll get you up!! Just hold on!" Kagome said as she tried to reach Shika, but the distance was too far. Inu Yasha had reached Tamahome and was pulling him up.
"Kagome! I'm going to let go of the rock! Whatever you do, you have to get away from the edge of the cliff! GO NOW!!" Kagome shook her head.
"IM NOT GOING TO LET YOU FALL AND DIE!" She shrieked. She tried to reach Shika again, but it was no use. Shika shook her head and yelled back,
"GET AWAY FROM THE EDGE. GET INU YASHA AND TAMAHOME AWAY, TOO! PLEASE! I DON'T WANT YOU GUYS TO GET HURT!!" and Shika let go of the rock and plunged downward headfirst.
A/N: yea yea yea. realli short short chappie I kno I kno.. BUT THE 5th ONG WILL BE GOOD I PROMIES!! REALLI!! Sowwie to took so long. skewl an all ya kno da drill. falling headfirst into nothingness. Yup. thas realli weird I kno. but I was lazy and had to do sumthin lol no shouts or dedications chuday lol r/r now!!! MUAHAHAH or I will get my white out and shot gun and. and. AND!!**AHEM** I don't think we need chu go therre do r/r!!YAY! I think chap. 5 will be the last. maybe 7 chaps in all, but I unno lol
Inu Yasha and Shika were walking around, looking for anything appetizing. Everything was silent and it was a bit uncomfortable. Shika tried to start a conversation.
"So, what do you think of Tamahome? Is he okay?" Inu Yasha never got to respond because suddenly, there was a rumble in the earth and Shika fell to the ground. She looked around, but Inu Yasha was no where to be found.
