Yay! I learned how to use HTML in these fics!!! YAY! Aren't you proud?! So! I wanted to say that I was fully touched by my two reviews. ^_~ And I think I'll make it up to you guys, besides, I got an hour. But first… replies! ^_^_^ whoa… cool
Shikon- I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I changed my mind okay? Okay????!!!
JadeMoonWing- Thanks! I wasn't really working too hard on the last few chapters so… err thanks. ^_^ Anyways, Here's the deal with Kikyo: While Inu Yasha and Suzume were in their little match, The gang was fighting Kikyo, who'd recently attained a power to sprout up roots at will, how she got this, we don't know yet. Kikyo and Suzume were good friends back when she was alive and sane because Suzume had to hand around with Inu Yasha because she was his body guard (He never really liked the idea of having a body guard after his father's death but Suzume insisted) and so Kikyo and Suzume met, and got along quite well, back to the fight, when Shippo turned into Suzume right after Kikyo threw that root at him, and it hit what looked like Suzume, Kikyo broke down, because aside from Kaede and Inu Yasha, Suzume had been her only good friend. So she failed to kill them, and her mysterious employer killed her for it. Long explanation I know, but Hey! You ask, I answer.
Kaze-Chapter 7- Flashbacks and All That Jazz
*Flashback*
The girl clad in yellow made her way into the courtyard below, reaching the edge of the pond in the courtyard, she miraculously turned into a being of full water, which held her mold for a moment, before splashing down into the depths of the pond.
"Inu Yasha... What did I just say?" The floating pink haired youkai told the young hanyou.
"But Suzuumeeee…" the little Hanyou whined (AN: I can't imagine what I'm writing AT ALL so if you can't… you're not weird or anything) A burst of water emerged from the surface of the pond, making the small hanyou soaking wet. The spout of water soon formed into the shape of a giant woman made of water. Without a word the figure picked the small hanyou up, suspending him several feet into the air.
"Nariko!" The floating youkai now recognized as Suzume rushed at a break neck speed towards the youkai. She easily retrieved the small hanyou from the being of water (AN: it's water, how hard could it be?) "What do you think you're doing?" She asked fiercely. The water being slowly shrank back into the depths of the water and at once reemerged as a pedestal of water with the strange girl with blonde hair and a yellow dress on top.
"I want… Sesshoumaru wants." She corrected herself quietly. "Him dead. "Which is why," she looked back up, anger in her eyes, "Anyone who stands in my way… will die." She said calmly. After about a second, two violent blades of water emerged from her pedestal at an alarmingly fast rate.
"Inu Yasha, run." she told the hanyou without looking back.
"Suzume…" faltered Inu Yasha
"Do it." She said quietly, in a frightening tone.
And he did, he ran with all his hanyou strength inside, to tell his father what was happening.
"Noriko…what… are… you…. doing…?" Suzume managed to ask between dodging blades.
"What my charge wants, I want," the kappa said smoothly
"We…don't….have…to…do…this." Suzume continued
"You're right, it would be much easier if you'd just give up!" The water youkai yelled, flourishing with a large blade of water, colliding directly into Suzume's left arm. She winced in pain 'I shouldn't do this, I can't hurt her.' Suzume argued inside her head
'For your charge' she instinctively replied to herself ((AN: She's Arguing with herself in her mind here))
'But…'
'For your charge.'
'We really, aren't going anywhere, are we?'
'Just do it already.'
'Fine!'
'Wind scar wind scar, where's the wind scar,' She mused, (AN: Anyone have any ideas to how she saw a Monty Python movie?) 'Found ya' after concentrating for a bit, the wind scar exploded into a bright white light, and a powerful gust of wind was emitted from the scar, blowing Suzume back a little ways before she could become transparent and evade it. Noriko on the other hand, was unfortunately blown into a protruding tree limb, and now had a large hole in her chest.
Suzume gaped at her handiwork in pure fear.
*End flashback*
Suzume woke up in a cold sweat, breathing hard. 'Why now, of all times, why now?' she asked herself. She looked around the room Yoshiro had lent them to sleep in. Shippo looked very peaceful in Kagome's arms, and Kagome looked doubly so. Miroku had a goofy look on his face, and was drooling slightly. Suzume had to bite her lip to suppress a laugh. Sango looked impassive in the corner, but then her lips curled into a small smile for a moment. And Inu Yasha shivered somewhat violently in the corner looking absolutely miserable. She wrinkled her nose, and unzipped the sleeping bag Kagome had lent her, and put it on Inu Yasha. He stopped shivering, and his frown turned into a defiant smirk, 'Another win for the great Inu Yasha I suppose.' She thought sarcastically. She stretched once more, and decided she should probably get up now that she didn't have a sleeping bag. 'To the hot springs!' she thought, and floated absent-mindedly down the hall.
Yoshiro walked boredly down the corridor lost in thought. '…' Well… maybe not thought, but ego 'guests, guests, guests, guests' there we go. He walked directly into Suzume, who barely noticing him, became transparent on a reflex and continued her slow float down the hall. Yoshiro shivered 'Creepy.' He thought err… egoed before proceeding to the room he'd lent his guests. "Wakey wakey everyone!" he shouted loudly, startling everyone out of sleep.
"Ohayo Yoshiro-sama" Yawned Kagome sleepily
"Good morning my dear!" Yoshiro rushed to her side "How did you sleep?" he asked intently, oblivious to Inu Yasha's growls of protests.
"Err…good?" Kagome replied a bit nervously
"No nightmares then?" he had a goofy grin on his face… a bit like Miroku when he… erm… never mind.
"No…" Kagome continued uncomfortably, then glanced around for an excuse and was relieved to hear a loud, echoing knock on Yoshiro's ridiculously large doors.
"Oh goody! More guests!" He said gleefully forgetting all about hitting on Kagome, and Trying to avoid Inu Yasha's death glare and bounded toward the door.
"Who dares disturb the great Yoshiro?" he recited in the deep frightening voice he'd used for the gang's arrival.
"You're still doing that crap?" returned a forceful slightly rebellious feminine voice. Yoshiro's expression dropped to a serious stare.
"Oh hey Kazuko! Glad you're here! Just hold on for a little bit, I'll let you right in!" ((AN: Kazuko=Inu Yasha's half sister)) He acted out a cheerful voice before rushing off to the gang's room. "Stay Here. Shut up." He said forcefully and slammed the door.
The four exchanged glances.
Okay! All done! I'll try to get the next chapter up with in the week; we're beginning to near the end! Happy?
