Chapter five

Dark Memories

The rain pounded the sidewalks in a rhythm all their own on the many winding streets of the ancient city of London. It seemed to wash away the ever-present pollution in the air. The dark skies were ominous over the should-be-sleeping city. At the old train station, one forgotten about and run down, a strange thing was occurring, a whistle, where their shouldn't be one, screamed out a greeting to the rainy city and a large black train pulled into the train station out of thin air. Few people were standing outside on the stations loading docks, seeing as though this IS an ABANDONED train station. The rain fell on the open docks as two people got out of the train cautiously, one would think that they should have known that there shouldn't have been a TRAIN there in the first place! The First person stepped out slowly.

The rain continued to fall.

The first person that got out was a woman. She had long waist-length ebon hair and stunning violet eyes that looked tired from hardships untold. She looked to hold Asian decent and she wore a cream colored garden hat with a cream colored trench coat. When she lifted her head, her face looked worn and creased in fatigue yet she looked to be only around twenty or so. On her hands were black leather gloves and under the trench coat was a simple white over coat and a long black skirt. On her feet were well-worn brown- leather boots that stopped just above her ankles. She held a very elegant yet old fashioned look and completed that look with a very old suitcase in her left hand. She turned around toward the door and held out her right hand gesturing to the second passenger.

The rain continued to fall.

A child's small hand touched the woman's hand revealing small clawed fingers. The woman's gloved hand closed around the child's clawed fingers and she squeezed them affectionately.

Her violet orbs softened and she whispered encouragement to the child that refused to come out of the shadows, "Come on out Inu-chan, it is safe here." Her voice was soft and it had the ring of bells to it.

Slowly, and cautiously, the child began to step out of the darkness and onto the raining docks. It was a little boy and at first glance nothing seemed different about him, that is, until you noticed the striking gold eyes and long silver-white hair. Put that aside and you'll then notice the two adorable white dog ears that seemed too big for his head and the fangs he had yet to grow into. He was wearing black pants that were two sizes too big and a white t-shirt with a red sweater that was far too large for his small form as well. A necklace holding a sword that looked remarkably like a fang was revealed as his hand clasped over it keeping it close to his chest. His ears were twitching this way and that listening for any thing that could be dangerous. His face was heart shaped like the woman's showing that they were indeed related.

"It smells weird here Okaa-chan," The child said quietly.

The woman now identified as the child's mother only smiled gently at her son and tugged on his hand toward the entrance to the station. He stepped off the train and the black steam engine disappeared just as quickly as it had appeared earlier.

The rain continued to fall.

As the two entered the station they relaxed and began to talk freely laughing every once in a while as they made their way to the exit of the abandoned site. They didn't notice a shadow waiting there in the shadow watching them in silence. The halls to the station were long and dark. The only sounds were the ones made from the mother and son, and the rain pounding on the roof outside. In fact, all of the few sounds made echoed in the halls just enough that the two never even suspected the silent figure getting ready to pounce.

In the middle of a conversation the child suddenly stopped tugging on his mothers hand, "Okaa-chan," His ears had swiveled behind them, his gold orbs seemed to hold a tint of green in fear.

His mother looked behind them and didn't see anything. She narrowed her eyes and spread her senses to their fullest. She calmly turned around and continued to walk forward as if nothing was wrong. Her son looked at her in worry.

She smiled reassuring, "Come Inu-chan, we're almost there."

Inu smiled, "Hai!" he began to skip next to his mother oblivious to her cautious stance and her hurried steps.

The rain continued to fall.

Finally the figure decided to show itself for its prey was close to the exit, and they were waiting. The creature jumped in front of the two and hissed. Thunder cracked and lightning briefly lit the silhouette of the figure revealing a creature far from human. It was tall with a hunched back giving it a lopsided stance that screamed Demi Ogre. The child stepped back behind his mother while she took a protective stance in front of her son. Her eyes were determined her expression daring.

The Ogre laughed sending chills down its prey's spine, "Well, well, well." It snickered, "You tried to get away from us in Japan only to once again find yourself in our clutches," He grinned, "Life's ironic isn't it Kiimi Yasha."

"Am I supposed to be afraid?" The woman known as Kiimi asked mockingly.

The demon chuckled, "you would be a fool if you are not." He sneered.

Kiimi smiled and power lit in her eyes, "Then I am a fool, for I am not afraid of death."

Inu Stared at the Demi Ogre in fear behind his mother's legs trembling. His ears were twitching in every direction they could He could hear them being surrounded so he tugged urgently on his mothers trench coat. Kiimi was well aware of the Ogre's that were surrounding herself and her son. She was waiting for the right moment.

"Inu-chan," She whispered loud enough so only he could hear, "When I tell you, I want you to run. Understand?"

The rain fell harder.

She took his silence for a yes and began to build her power around herself. The Ogre's chose this time to attack. They lunged at Kiimi and Inu and immediately Kiimi let her power fly. The station shook from the power emitting from her small form and any Ogre it touched would be nothing but dust. Kiimi's eyes were pure white and her hair had a silver hue to it as it swayed in an unnatural wind around her face. The roof collapsed and disintegrated and many of the walls fell to the ground. The rain never touched her glowing form and Inu huddled within the swaying folds of her skirt.

"Inu-chan," She said quietly, Inu looked up to her face, "Never forget that you are special my son," She knelt down in front of him and her power swirled around them protectively, "Never forget that I love you and that I'll always be with you," She touched her finger to his chest over his heart, "here."

Inu looked at her confused with a feeling of foreboding, "No," He whispered as tears began to well in his eyes.

Kiimi suddenly brought her son into a tight embrace, "Never forget who you truly are, Inu Yasha, my son."

Ogres were reinforcing together and Kiimi shoved her son away from her and stood up with tears coursing down her face.

The rain fell harder.

"Now run." She whispered

Inu Yasha took a step back not wanting to leave.

"Go!" His mother screamed in urgency.

The rain continued to fall.

Inu Yasha ran hard and far into the night. His tears fell like the rain around him. He turned around in time to watch his mother make the final attack destroying what was left of the abandoned station and fell to his knees and sobbed.

Meanwhile the rain continued to fall.

@#$#@

Kagome woke up with a start sweating profusely. Her face was stained from crying and she pushed off the sheets that were covering her and got up off the couch stepping around Sango and Miroku who were conveniently curled close together on the floor. If only they could see themselves. She remembered the previous day and grimaced at her sore muscles. She ignored them as she trekked her way to the guest bedroom where she hoped Inu was healing. When she opened the door She noticed that his wounds had been taken care of by her mother. She smiled at the peaceful look on his face but because of her new bond with him, which she supposed was an aftereffect of what had happened the previous day, she could almost feel the painful process of fast healing.

That dream was no normal dream. That was one of Inu's Memories. But if that were the case then why did Inu Change his last name? Was it because the memories were too painful? She sighed as she sat next to him and put her hand on his head smoothing his bangs. Her thoughts wandered to the prophecy, which she couldn't seem to get out of her head, and who was this Naraku? The name hit something within her but she couldn't fathom from where. Ugh! There were so many questions that needed to be answered and she had hoped that all of them would be cleared when she had re-merged her soul with Kikyo, but instead of clearing things up everything was so much more confusing.

Inu stirred restlessly in his sleep and Kagome looked at the clock wonderingly. It was one in the morning.

"figures." She whispered.

Her eyes were suddenly very tired and she felt safe next to Inu Yasha. Yeah, that was his real name. She yaned her thoughts were beguining to get muddled as she lay down next to the prone form of Inu. Her questioned would still be postponed for the time being. Besides, haddn't she promised her mother that they'd tell her the events of the previous day? Yes, Kagome thought, For now she would sleep.

She didn't notice Inu relax completely as she dozed by her side. If the two of them had been awake then perhaps they would have noticed Kagome's mother close the door softly and smile.
