*Finally Reviews! Yay! Dances anyhow, "The Soul of Cassandra" is a
reference to a Greek myth about a woman who had visions of the future,
specifically about the downfall of the city of Troy. As for Shippou's hair,
well it has been 700 years since Inuyasha's time *
Ch. 6:
Kojirou looked out the window of his office, to the city of Tokyo itself. It's shimmering lights, his towering skyscrapers, and its surrounding mountains could not relieve the look of disdain and frustration that has pasted itself on his face. Behind him, a female youkai sat on a leather couch, peeling an apple. She bit seductively into it, and floated over to Kojirou. She caressed his face, which remained as cold as before.
"Hmmmmm, penny for your thoughts, lover," she said
Kojirou gripped her hand tightly, and her amused look turned to one of mild concern. "It has been nearly a month, and you still haven't found Inuyasha. I didn't spend three months looking for your soul in Hell for you to fail me."
"Oooooh, but what if you didn't? Then you would have me to amuse you," she said seductively. "And you know how amusing I can be." She kissed him softly, but his expression remained frozen. He turned and walked away, but shot one glance back.
"There will be time for games after you find Inuyasha." He said as the door closed behind him, leaving the female youkai alone in the office.
"He can be sooo uptight. If he wasn't so darn cute I'd have to dump him," she sighed. Suddenly, she felt something tug at her hair. She slid over to the computer, and looked at a map. "Oh, Scotland? Is that where little Inuyasha's hiding? I think I'll personally confirm this one."
Kojirou made his way down the hall, to Kagome's room. He looked inside, and Kagome gave him a look of contempt. "Come here to try and poison me with more of your lies?"
"You still don't believe me about my lineage? You don't believe I am the son of Inuyasha and Kikyo?" he laughed. "Fine, it matters not to me." He walked away.
"He's not Inuyasha's son. He can't be. He can't be," she thought repeatedly until she fell asleep. At least in her dreams, she was with Inuyasha. She remembered all those times they had together, and the night he admitted to her that he loved her. She couldn't sleep that night, something had kept her awake. She wandered her home, and looked outside. That's when she saw him, sitting outside with his back to her. She walked over, and knelt at his side.
"What's wrong?" she asked him.
"It's nothing," he replied. "It's just that, I can't stop thinking about what happened. If I had done something differently..."
"You can't think about that," she told him. "We can't change what happened. We can only live today, with what we have."
"All I need is you," he said placing his hand on her face. "I should have told you this a long time ago, but I love you Kagome."
Kagome looked into his eyes, and drew closer. Her eyes filled with tears, and she kissed him. "I love you too, Inuyasha." They spent the night there, in each other's arms.
"WAKE UP YA BUM!" the crude Scotsman's voice filled his ears. He grumbled, and sat up. "It's been how long? Ya know what time ta wake up, so lets go already!"
Inuyasha began the morning routine, as he had so many times before. He rowed to the island, did his warm up laps and pushups, and then progressed to the island's interior. The dummy field was set up every morning, by the same magic that provided the increased gravity. Inuyasha picked up the Scotsman's sword, and went through cutting them down. When he was done, he stood before the Scotsman.
"Time?" he said confidently.
"Ten seconds! Not bad, laddie, not bad at all!" He stropped the stopwatch, and looked at Inuyasha. "When the dummies are back up, ah want ye ta do it again, this time with yur sword."
Inuyasha handed the Scotsman his giant blade, and drew Tetsusaiga. He readied himself, and sprung into actions as Argyle's signal. Everything seemed to move in slow motion as Inuyasha leapt and slashed at the dummies. Before they had time to fall, Inuyasha had moved to the next one. Finally, with all fifty cut down, he stood before the Scotsman.
"Three seconds! Good Lord, boy, yur even faster than me!"
"Heh, of course I am. Looks like I'm done with your training."
"Aye, the physical part, but dat's only half tha game. Ye throw yourself at Kojirou in yur condition, and ye might as well put yur head between yur legs and kiss yur arse goodbye."
"What more is there?" Inuyasha asked as Argyle walked away.
"Ah have one last test for ye, and Ah'll warn ye, it aint easy."
The youkai looked at the small shack from the sanctity of the woods. "There's Sesshoumaru's daughter, her bodyguard, and that Lin Kuei Shippou. But where is Inuyasha?"
She prepared to leave in frustration when two figures came form the lake. She adjusted her binoculars and focused on them. "Hmmmm, I have no idea who the big hunk is, but that little puppy is defiantly Inuyasha." She quietly laughed to herself, and a wicked smile spread over her face. "This will defiantly please Kojirou."
Inuyasha approached the house, where Shippou was busy making dinner. Since the first night, he didn't trust Argyle to cook. Inuyasha's look suddenly became blank and he sniffed the air as the wind changed direction.
"C'mon," Shippou said irritated. "My cooking can't be that bad."
"It's pretty bad," Inuyasha said, "but that's not it. Were being watched, over there!" He pointed to the woods and straight at the youkai watching them. "Whoever it is was sitting downwind, but I picked up her scent when the wind shifted."
"I'm hurt, Inuyasha, don't you recognize me? It's only been seven hundred years. Oh well, I do have to go, but I'll leave something for you to play with."
An army of skeletons rose from the ground as the youkai left. Inuyasha prepared to draw Tetsusaiga. He stood side by side with Argyle, and glanced at him. Argyle grinned, as they charged. Inuyasha took the left side, while Argyle took the left. As soon as the cut one down, however, several more took their place. Shippou, Kouga, and Spike joined the fray, but soon they were being overwhelmed. The situation seemed hopeless.
"Everyone, stand behind me!" Inuyasha yelled. As soon as everyone was out of harms way, he slashed his sword in the air, "CUTTING WIND!" he yelled as a wave cut down one hundred of the undead soldiers. But many still remained, and it was only seconds before they had revived their brethren.
"Any more bright ideas?"
In Tokyo, the youkai made her way into Kojirou's bedroom. She spotted the young hanyou staring outside, as he always did. She crept up behind him and snaked her arms around his waist. She spoke, resting her head against his back.
"I found Inuyasha. He's in Scotland." She smiled. Kojirou turned around and she kept her grip tightly around him. "Now can we play?" she said coyly.
Kojirou smiled and laid the youkai on his bed. He smiled as he kissed her. "Alright, Yura of the Hair..." he whispered.
