Chapter 24: Plan Of Action

Shippo looked out the planes window as it was landing, his looked like he maybe drunk but in all truth, "Do you have motion sickness, Shippo?" Kirara asked as Inu-Yasha snorted, "Last I checked he is sea sick." He stated off- handly as Nanny pinched the tip of his silver ear from behind. "Behave." She warned as Nankinmai giggled slightly as Inu-Yasha jerked his head away from the woman's hold.

"I didn't do a blasted thing!" he snapped as Leeta laughed, "Did I hear right? 'blasted' well, Ill be he didn't cruse the seven sea's this time." She laughs again as he mumbles and the planes bounces a few times as it lands causing Shippo to change colors.

"Oh dear." Kirara said with wide eyes as Shippo' stomach up turned and she sighed as she handed him the paper bag and patted his small back. "Just let it all out and try not get the floor dirty."

Meanwhile:

"Where is she?" Naraku questioned in a tranquil voice, "I have guest arriving soon, she most be ready before they arrive." Naraku stated as he walked down the hallway, stopping at a window to his left, a man behind him bowed once and then spoke, "S-he, she will be down soon, Sir." He said as Naraku nodded and the man left.

Within her little room she sighed and crossed her arms, she was forced to wear a tight little black dress that came up seven inches above her knees, it was sleeveless and was cut low. Her hair was pulled back priestess style She wore a pair of knee high black boots. Her bruises where hidden away with the help of make-up, she then turned upon her heels and went to her door upon hearing a knock, "What?" she asked annoyed as she opened the door.

"The master wants you down stairs now, the guest will be arriving soon."

"I'm coming." She said in irritation through the door as the man left and led against the door and looked out the window before her. Funny, she used to be afraid of being alone, scared of the beatings and the yelling, afraid to back away from his touch, to speak out against him . . . to fight back. But a silvered man showed her that she had choices, to live in fear or to stand up and be . . . yourself, to laughs, to cry, to smile . . . to love.

The man, Inu-Yasha showed her what to do, even if he did not know it, he reawakened her heart, her old rusted heart that had stopped beating long ago, now thrash with new life, hope.

She smiled as she pushed herself away from the door and went to her bed and from beneath a pillow she uncovered a 9mm and taking the ribbon off the gun that she had tied about it, she tied the ribbon around her upper thigh and the slide the gun between the ribbon and her skin, making sure it would not slip she then proceeded to the door.

And as she went out that door knowing full well it was an entrance to a new life or her new found death, she embraced it with loving arms as a song echoed through her mind as she walked down the stairs, the song went like this as it escaped her lips:

~ When it all goes crazy and the thrill is gone The days get rainy and the nights get long When you get that feeling you were born to lose Starin' at your ceiling, thinkin' of your blues~

She came to the end of the staircase and took a left down a hallway with windows all along on side, the sun was sitting and the raising moon shined light upon her wavy hair as it bounced as she walked, one hand running along the wall with no windows.

~When there's so much trouble that you wanna cry The world has crumbled and you don't know why When your hopes are fading and they can't be found Dreams have left you waiting---friends have let you down~

She came to another staircase and followed it, thinking of her friends and smiling at past memories, good memories, once she treasure and loved. Her family came to her mind and the crushing blow of when Naraku came into her wonderful life and blew it all down stream to merge with spawns of evil. She frowned but then she smiled, seeing the image of Inu-Yasha's eyes, his caring face, giving her strength.

~Just remember I love you And it'll be all right Just remember I love you More than I can say~

He loved her right? He said so . . . but did she love him in return? She knew the answer to that even though he wasn't here for her to tell him so, she loved him, with all her heart and soul that she had!

~Maybe then your blues will fade away When you need a lover and you're down so low You start to wonder but you never know When it feels like sorrow is your only friend~

She walked with her hands behind her back as she came to the entrance and their standing at a long table was Naraku. She frowned at the sight of him, her feelings of despair returned once more as he looked at her with those devil eyes! That malevolence of his smirk creeping across his face! His voice sadistic and cruel!

"Good-evening, my nightingale."

~ When you feel like cryin' but the tears won't come When your dreams are dyin'---when you're on the run~

Her slender, shaky hand rested upon the hidden gun.
