Chapter 18: What Pains The Soul
"Rin were are we?" Sango asked as they came upon a round room that had three doors mad out of opaque glass. "Rin don't know, this wasn't here before." She said in confusion. "Great." Inu-Yasha mumbled. "Well there's seven of us and three doors, we best go in groups. It will be quicker that way, one of us will make it to Kagome." He said as he walked to the middle door. "Sango and I will go through this door." He said and Sango nodded and walked up to him. "Rin go with Kirara and Shippo." Rin cheered and the three walked to the door on the left side. "Great don't tell me! Am stuck with the wimpy wolf!" Inu-Yasha snapped and then sighed as the two youkai's went to the door on the right. "Great, it's just me and the mutt." He grumbled. Sango sighed and touched the door before her, which disappeared. "Weird.well lets be off." She stated and ran through the tunnel leaving Miroku to catch up. Next Rin and her group went in. Then finally Inu and the okami went through their door. Then suddenly the doors faded away revealing a staircase.
"Enjoy the ride." Yuurei said through his crystal ball and smiled up at the miko that was hanging from her wrist by a long chain that glowed and eerie red, only two feet below her were ancient signs and symbols that glowed fiercely and vibrated with life. The mikos raven hair dangled loosely about her shoulders, her bangs covered her face. The room was dark and the specter smiled as the walls changed into a multiple shades of black with dark red and purples spots merging together to create a water color-like background.
Yuurei rose from his throne and walked over to the dangling miko, "Well best get started. Shall we my dear slayer of miko blood line." He laughed and drew forth a wickedly curved blade that was black and its hilt was ash in color, with a single blood ruby in the center of it. He raised the blade to her forearm and gently sliced open the skin. Blood ran down her arm like a trickling stream, when the first drop of her blood splattered upon the runes beneath her, the runes shined brightly and glowed.
"First comes the blood of life, my dear, then with that I shall take your vital essence at the same time I take your soul. Then feed upon your body, restoring my life, youth and years. That is why I call it a fusion, for I take everything from you and in place it within me. Why miko's you wonder? Because with their souls and life comes power and especially from your bloodline."
Kagome moaned as she heard Yuureis voice speak to her, and cringed at his hissing vice as he spoke once more. "You didn't know did you? Who your mother was?" He laughed before continuing. "I will tell you then, your mother was the great priestess Kikyo! Yes, the same one that safe guarded the Shikon Jewel that was lost to a demon and in the processes she was killed. Do you want to know who killed her?" he asked with a hint of satification of seeing his victim looking at him in pure confusion and hurt. "Inu-Yasha and myself."
Kagome's eyes went wide and she looked away from the Specter as tears formed in her eyes. "Yes, he killed her as I went for the Shikon no tama, that I took and now the Jewel has become my treasure. I took the jewel and had it forged into a sword." Yuurei said as he watched her face and he smiled.
"Heh. Yes, your poor mother, it was only, what? A good couple of years ago? Do you think Inu-Yasha remembers her?" He laughed once again. "And to think, he claims you as his mate and you love him! The man that killed your mother and destroyed your life! Your father being a Youkai exterminator couldn't even stop him nor he and I died along with the miko, though I must say I did enjoy battling him, he was a good fighter, but not good enough. How tragic and yet ironic, that you love a murder. But do not worry." He stated as he looked towards a single window that let no light in, for there was no moon this night. "He will die, as will your sister and her friends and unfortunately the little girl will die. To bad, I was hoping to eat her for an after-noon snack."
* * * * * *
Sango & Miroku
* * * * * *
"Monk if you touch me once more, I'll solve that problem with your hands." Sango growled as the monk moved away from her. They walked through a dark tunnel that had small torches mounted upon the wall. They wondered how long it would take them to exist the tunnel. But as they traveled further into it, a light and yet fog mist sprang at their ankles and soon it covered the whole and both the monk and slayer found themselves in a different, a different place and alone . . .to face their own fears and doubts.
* * * * * * *
Shippo, Kirara & Rin
* * * * * * *
"Shippo, Rin think this tunnel will never end, maybe we should go back." She said in a low voice as a thick fog appeared around them. "Rin, Kirara? What's going on? Were did that fog come from?
. . . Silence . . ..
"Shippo!" Rin yelled out and ran around in fear. "KIRARA!!!!!"
* * * * * * * *
Inu-Yasha & Kouga
* * * * * * * *
"Hey, mutt-face move your sorry inu-ass up!" Kouga growled as he speed off ahead of Yasha. "Fakku!" Inu-Yasha snap's as he caught up with the okami. Kouga laughed, "With Lady Kagome, certainly."
"NANI!" Inu-Yasha yelled from being taken off-guard at that comment.. "Back off, Kouga! She's mine, ya hear! If you lay one claw on her so . .so. . ." he trail off as his nose twitched, he had smelled that blood before. He sniffed again and his eyes grew wide. ":Kagome!" he yelled and dared off past the okami, who was confused until he caught hold of the scent also. The two easily were at neck to neck now. That is until a foggy mist rolled in.
"Huh?" Kouga said as he looked about his feet, then he looked up to Inu- Yasha and the okami was deadly confused now! The hanyou's silver hair was melting away! His dog-ears dissolved to their right full place at the side of his head, like a humans. "I-Inu-Ya-sha." Kouga stuttered as the hanyou now was full human with black hair like the night sky, violet eyes, his fangs were replaced with human teeth, his sharp claws now were weak nails. The only thing that conformed it was the hanyou was the sacred beads around his neck, the fire-rat kimono the sword, Tetsusaiga at his side and his eyes held a slight hit of a slit, that was barely visible.
Inu-Yasha cursed at himself mentally, he should of argued about who he was traveling with! Kouga! His rival now knew his little secret. He could not face Yuurei like this! Nor Kouga! The Tetsusaiga was useless to him in this form. His beautiful eyes reflected pain and misery for only moment's the fog completely covered both of them.
* * * * * * * * * * * * As Rin ran through the fog, she soon found herself alone in a forest; it was the place where she had first met the inu-youkai Sessho-maru. Her face brightened as she ran down the trail to were Sessho-maru once laid injured, but her face soon lost its brightness as she saw in the place of her adopted father should have been, stood five men dressed in a thief attire. They were a foul looking bunch. Rin shook her head as tears started to flow, Sessho-maru lay dead at their feet! She had lost her adoptive father . . .and she screamed.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
"Rin? Rin? What's wrong? Kirara whats wrong with her?" The Kitsune asked when Rin screamed and did not answer him, her eyes were dull and unseeing. Kirara meows in a low voice and went to nudge the girl but in response she was blown back by a unseeing force and collided into the kitsune.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Meanwhile Miroku and Sango were under the same spell; instead Miroku was seeing his grandfather and Sango being sucked into his vortex, within his hand. He was battling with his inner mind. He reached for Sango's sword as it came towards him; he grabbed it and sliced his hand off. He cringed and looked up, he was heavily sweating, and Sango was by his side, mending his stub of a hand. When to his horror the vortex started up again, the hand was alive, though it was bodiless! It was trying to suck him in now including Sango. The cruse would not let go!
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Sango was to late! Before her feet was her younger sister Kagome, she was dead and the one that had killed her stood before her. Laughing with joy, it wasn't Yuurei who was laughing, but Inu-Yasha. His clawed hand was covered with the blood of his sister. She growled with anger and stood up, with her boomerang, she raised above her head, ran with great speed and sent it flying with force and speed. It hit it's target, but not the target in which she wished it to strike. A young boy with black hair fell to the ground with a sickening thud.
"NOO!"
It was her youngest brother who had died with her mother and father . . . it was Kohaku.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Inu-Yasha blinked. Where was he? Was he dead? No . . . then suddenly he remember the moon! He looked down at his hands. Claws? Now? But didn't he just have nails a few seconds ago? What was going on?
"Inu-Yasha." A voice said and he looked up to see Kikyo running into his arms. "K-Kikyo?" He muttered in surprise.
