Hey hey! Chapter 3 is up, finally! I promised my best friend I'd make a
lemon chappty, so it might appear in some of the later chapters.
Also, something cool happened! I made a rosary of my own, similar to Inuyasha's! I think it looks cool, and my friend's are jealous so they want me to make them one, but I don't think I have enough beads. I just made it out of some embroidery thread, wooden beads, and pearl-like beads. It looks strange, but I like it!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Kaze no Kizu!" Inuyasha shouted, slashing through the demon with one swipe of the Tetsuseiga.
On the fringes of the battlefield, Yasu cheered the rest on next to Shippou, Sango with her boomerang, and Kagome with her arrows, and Miroku with his kazaana. Ever since Yasu had accidentally knocked Inuyasha unconscious, she had been banned from fighting, since she would 'only get in the way' of Inuyasha.
Sitting down on a rock, Yasu thoughtfully watched Miroku clean up the demon mess with his wind tunnel. She didn't know why, but somehow she knew how to remove the air rip without beating Naraku or anything. But she didn't want to get Miroku's hopes up. He'd been really nice to her, like Sango and Kagome and Shippou. She liked them a lot better then Inuyasha.
Wincing at a sudden pain in her wrist, she glanced down at the rd tattoo; it was glowing brightly. Knowing that Kagome would start asking if she were okay, Yasu hid it in her sleeve.
During the last couple of days when they'd been trying to reach somebody called Kaede's, the others had gathered three new jewel shards of a jewel called the Shikon no Tama.
'Back home,' Yasu thought, looking up at the bright sky and shielding her face with the bandaged hand rather then the tattooed one. 'I would never have been through this kind of stuff. I wonder how Tetsuo is doing?'
Remembering something, she jumped up. "Kagome, I have to go to the town really quick! I'll be right back!" She shouted as she rushed off in the direction of the town they had passed earlier.
They all stared at her departure, noticing the trail of dust trailing behind her. "She never does anything half-heartedly," Shippou muttered, crunching on a tasty lollypop.
~!~
"Arigato, sir," Yasu bowed to the confused man, taking the bundle he held out for her. "Thanks for spending some of your time to grant my wishes." She smiled, handing him some old money she had once stolen from her dad's studio and strung on a necklace she wore all the time. It had been really useful for getting some stuff she needed for traveling in this world.
Whistling a favorite tune of hers, she practically skipped down the lane past villagers. Then, all of a sudden, someone knocked her down. Landing flat on her face, Yasu growled and looked up into the face of a hardened angel.
"Thanks for the supplies, madam." The wretch grinned, scooping up the items she had bought.
Leaping up she chased after the lout, shouting colorful curses at him and drawing attention to her self. But she didn't really care, as the guy was getting away with stuff that was rightfully hers.
She chased him into a darkened alley where no light showed except for a few lit torches.
"What's a fine lady like you doin' here, huh?" A big burly man that hadn't obviously shaved in weeks looked down at her, grinning with a devilish spark in his hazel eyes.
Gulping down the lump in her throat, Yasu tried to move past him, only to find herself surrounded by his crew, with them looking hungrily at her. A couple of them held swords and chains, and even a few held clubs. But only the biggest of them held the scariest looking dagger she had ever seen with its razor sharp edge glossy with that of fresh blood.
They moved in on her, blocking all possible exits.
Taking a fighting stance, she tore at their throats, kicking and scratching her way through a couple of them, but they soon had her legs and arms pinned, with one man prepared to rape her. "Help! Someone help!" Yasu cried, tears streaming down her face from the cuts and bruises the thugs had given her.
"Somebody scream help?" A deep male voice resounded throughout the alley, making the group of thugs freeze. "Let the girl go," the speaker said, stepping out of the shadows, a spear raised high, ready to attack. "Now."
The thugs scrambled away, leaving Yasu in the middle, bleeding from a dozen small wounds and bruises from her head to her feet.
Getting up slowly and pulling down her long school-issued red skirt, she looked up at her savior. He was taller then her, apparently, and had beautiful silky short black hair, the bangs falling slightly into his eyes. And his handsomeness didn't stop there. He was solidly built, with broad shoulders and heavily muscled arms and bare chest, even with strong legs.
Stopping her ogling of him, she looked at his face again, embarrassed slightly that he was grinning at her.
Walking forward to her side, he pulled her up. "You okay now?"
She nodded.
"Here, I think these are yours." He smiled and handed her the bundle the little imp had stolen. "Good-bye milady!"
Staring as he rushed off, a minute later she realized she hadn't asked him his name. "Huh. he was extremely gallant. and hot."
~!~
"Wow!" Sango gasped, being surprised that such a thing could have happened to Yasu. "And you say that this man wore no shirt and carried a spear? And scared away a whole group of thugs that easily beat you?"
Glaring at her with a side-glance Yasu ground out, "Not so easily."
"Well, did he or did he not?" Kagome asked, finishing bandaging a bruise on Yasu ankle.
".Yes." she mumbled, fiddling with the bundle.
"I've been meaning to ask you," Miroku started, eyeing the bundle and trying to open it. "What's with the bundle?"
Pulling it away from him, Yasu hugged it to her chest, knowing that he wouldn't dare get at it now if he wanted to live long enough to get the kazaana taken away. "Nothing inside that you should be concerned about."
"Feh. It's probably something to make you weaker," Inuyasha smirked, high up in his tree.
"Hmmm." she growled, getting up. "I'm going to the hot springs really quick to wash off the dried blood," she said to Kagome and Sango, taking the bundle with her.
Looking behind her to make sure no one had followed, Yasu quickly opened the bundle to reveal two reverse blades, two daggers, and padded forearm and shin guards. The rest of it was just some local clothing and a leather bag to put her school uniform in, so it wouldn't get dirty or torn, because she didn't have a spare like Kagome.
Donning the clothing and strapping on the armor, she brushed her hair up into a ponytail, letting the silky waterfall of ferret brown hair fall down her back. She then glanced at herself in the water, smiling at the Amazon woman staring back at her.
"I'll prove to him I can fight," she muttered, taking the swords and strapping them both on her back, followed by the daggers on her forearm guards.
Drawing one of the swords, Yasu closed her eyes and imagined the lessons her father had given her. She began to swing it in graceful arcs, going faster and faster with each swing. After a few seconds, they were just whirls of shadows in the air, shimmering with the fading light on the sharp steel.
Panting, Yasu sheathed the sword and smiled knowingly. The others would be sleeping by now, but not Inuyasha. He would most likely have a fit if he saw her like this.
"That's some swordplay, little lady," someone chuckled from near the small waterfall that was surrounded by giant boulders.
Spinning around, Yasu unsheathed one sword and held it protectively before her, but halted when she saw the same man who had saved her before. "What are you doing here?"
"I didn't catch your name before I left. May I say you look lovely in that armor?" He smiled, jumping down from the rocks.
Blushing, she held the sword at the ready. "My name's Yasu Ito." Smiling, he offered a hand, which she hesitantly shook as she sheathed the sword.
"I am called Ryobe the Wicked. I guess you must be from a rich family to have a last name." Smiling slightly, Yasu decided she liked this man. A lot.
"No. My mom just wanted to give me the old family name." He grinned, noticing that she still held his hand.
"Like me, do ya?"
Her hand flew out of his, hiding behind her back. She didn't want him to see the tattoo. "No, frankly I don't, Ryobe the Wicked." Getting up close and personal, he smirked down at her.
"Just Ryobe will do, Yasu-chan." Blushing a little, Yasu fell backwards, being caught in Ryobe's arms.
"Oh!" Chuckling, he nuzzled her throat then set her up straight, her face a deep crimson.
"I see you're not used to a man being up close, eh, Yasu-chan?" Too dazed to reply, she just flumped on her bottom. A man had practically kissed her; she couldn't believe it!
Coming out of the daze, Yasu sensed that Ryobe had done it on purpose to get something. But what she didn't know. Her sharp eyes glinted, just making out just a few of the shards Kagome had collected that day in his grasp.
"Take this!" Yasu screeched, swinging her back leg into his stomach, knocking him off his feet.
He stumbled backwards, but kept his balance. He held his stomach with one hand, wincing at the pain, and just stared at her. "How could you come out of the trance I put you in?"
Grinning maliciously, she straightened and put her hands on her hips. "In the Ito household, nothing can stand in our way."
"Yasu!" Kagome exclaimed, walking in on the fight.
"Uh oh," Ryobe gulped, backing away from Kagome. "Stay back, wench!"
Drawing an arrow, Kagome held it at the ready as Ryobe searched around for something to shield him. "When it trouble, use a human shield," he said, grabbing a hold of Yasu and pointing the edge of his spear at her throat. "Let me go, and Yasu-chan won't get hurt."
Growling low in her throat, Kagome slowly lowered the arrow, signaling her consent.
But it seemed only Yasu noticed the sparkle of steel on her arms. 'The daggers!' She thought with a smile, but quickly hid it, so they both wouldn't know her intentions. Twisting her arm slightly, she grabbed hold of the left dagger with her right tattooed hand and prepared to drive it into Ryobe's stomach.
Then, Inuyasha appeared. "He has the damn jewel shards, Kagome!" He shouted irritably, noticing her lowered bow.
"How am I supposed to shoot him when he has Yasu as a shield?!" Kagome shouted back, turning towards Inuyasha.
"Ouch! You little-" Ryobe was cut off by the dagger to his throat, but before then, he had been elbowed in the stomach.
Grinning, Yasu glanced over at the stares she was receiving from Kagome and Inuyasha. "What? Was I supposed to let him get away with having me be a hostage?"
~!~
"Ow."
"There," Kagome smiled at her handiwork, fixing up the cut Ryobe had gotten from Yasu's dagger.
Not that he was dangerous anymore. He was tied up with Kiara guarding his spear and Inuyasha guarding him.
Shippou was eating a lollypop, so he was busy. Miroku was on the floor, with Sango shaking her fist angrily down at him.
"Zzzzzzz..."
They all glanced at Yasu, fast asleep.
