Disclaimer: Nope...I still don't own Inu-Yasha...or Miroku...or Kouga...or Naraku...or Musuo...
::wipes drool from her face quickly:: Where I was I? Anyways...I have very little money so it
won't do you any good anyways.
Spoiler warning: Pretty much the same as the other story...but this portion will cover up
through Chapter 213...which includes the whole Musuo scenario. Once again, I will be covering
any important plot points, so it's not necessary to go through and read it all.
********************************************************************************************************************************
The sun was rising, turning the skies of the east a dusty pink. The air, which normally whisked
over the cliff I stood on, stood dead still.
Something is terribly wrong. I can feel it in my bones. The hairs of my neck and arms are
standing on end, letting a shiver pass down my back. My instincts are screaming at me, but
my tuned wolf senses cannot detect a thing.
I set foot near the edge of a steep cliff, pushing a pebble over the edge with my toe, letting
it bounce off the sides of the slope before digging into the dirt of the canyon below.
Pant-pant-pant.
"Kouga! Hey Kouga!"
Pant-pant-pant.
"C'mon man! Wait up!"
Pant-pant-pant.
Pacchi and Supaiku have obediently followed my trail.
Hands on his knees, Pacchi asked breathlessly, "why did you leave in such a rush?"
Pant-pant-pant.
"Yeah...the sun isn't even up yet." Supaiku steadies himself against a sturdy boulder.
Turning to them, I find myself unable to answer as a slight breeze caresses my face, passing
right under my nose. I pull my arm up over my nose. An acrid stench overwhelms my sense,
temporarily clouding my vision.
"Geh...what the hell is that?"
"It's that damn disgusting smell again...that...that bastard half-youkai Naraku. C'mon!"
He's no better than that blasted Inukoro, always trying to steal my woman from me.
Rubbing the bridge of his nose, Pacchi murmurs, "Ah damn...there he goes again."
"There's never rest for the weary," Supaiku agrees.
"Quit your whining and move your sorry asses before I lose this scent!"
Last time, this scent was random, leading me around by the nose. Now it's almost as if its
calling for me.
Trees flying towards my eyes as I race through the wooded path.
Sniff, sniff.
The air around here is cold as death. But the scent is light.
Sniff, sniff.
Ah...there. I can sense it. Naraku is near.
My body seems to lighten as my legs quicken in anticipation of my revenge.
Sniff, sniff.
The scent makes a clumsy halt beside a prone figure.
I slow my approach, raising my alert in preparation for attack. The figure clad in a red and white
patterned yukata, lying bruised and beaten in the dirt. Pacchi and Supaiku have caught up
with me, cautiously eyeing the figure as they walk over to join me.
"Feh...it's you, Kagura!" I sneer, lifting my claw over my head to rip through her belly. "Prepare
to taste my claws, bitch!"
Nonplussed, she responds, "go ahead. I deserve it."
With wide eyes and dropped jaws, we all gaze at her in surprise.
"Huh?" I manage.
With dead eyes she plainly said, "on Naraku's orders, I have tried to kill you and your kind
many times--all for the sake of the Jewel." Sighing, she contines, "all that I want is to be
rid of Naraku. But he holds my life in his hands and is planning to kill me anyways. I may
as well let you have your revenge and deny Naraku the benefit."
Dumbfounded, I stare at her, wracking my brain for some response.
"So hurry up and kill me."
Shaking my head, I let my hand fall to my side. "No. I won't let you off that easy."
Her face fell, head drooping sorrowfully. A single tear dripping down onto her yukata.
Lifting her chin roughly, I search her eyes for a sign--any sign to indicate that she is lying
to me. Seeing nothing but sadness, I drag her to get up to her feet and pull her along
behind me.
"Supaiku, hold onto her fan."
Supaiku and Pacchi look at me quizzically.
"She's coming with us."
********************************************************************************************************************************
1) Hmmm. Well, I now have the main part of the storyline set up in my head. I'm pretty
happy with it. Mind you, nothing aside from this is committed to paper.
2) I'm telling you right now that I'm not sure I'm writing Kagura and Kouga well. I'm really
trying to give Kagura this 'human but immortal' attitude, but I'm not sure that I'm not pulling
her totally out of characters. Both characters swear like sailors, but it's a little difficult to be
imaginative within those parameters.
3) I don't know what it is...Supaiku and Pacchi seem to be following along with typical
Takahashi "buddies". Hmmmm....maybe I'll have to make them a lot like Hiroshi and Daisuke.
4) I just saw Shrek. Although it was pretty crude in the opening parts, I liked it. Try and
sit through the end without laughing...I dare you! ^_^
