Ok so here is the news I have been on this righting frenzy lately so
I'm trying to use it to my advantage and get a lot done on Inuyasha Beyond the Skin..
So last time I thought about maybe naming the next chapter 'What about the jewel of four
Souls' but instead I thought 'Koyasha himself' would be more interesting. Or at least fit
The theme of the chapter a little better but then again two major events happen so I'm
Torn between tittles soooooo
Disclaimer I don't own Inuyasha and this story is of my own demise based off of the
story of Inuyasha

Inuyasha Beyond the Skin Chapter Five 'The feather sword and Koyasha him self'
Marina awoke to a chill morning air creeping across the floor. She rubbed her eyes sat up and stretched. She looked over at her clothes she had laid next to a pile of books. "I hope I can remember hot to tie the obi." She took off her kimono picked up her panties and put them on then reached for her braw. The door to the room slid open, "Good morning Master Shippo!" The boy's eyes looked like grape fruits gaping out of his head. She squealed covered her chest with on arm and threw a book with the other. Koyasha happened to be walking by as the boy slammed shut the door and ran off, the book cam sailing through the screen on the door and smacked Koyasha in the head. He opened the door "What the Hell'd ya do that for!" He stopped and stared. She was trying to latch her braw. She screamed again and grabbed her Kimono to cover her almost naked body. The door slammed shut on Koyasha's head. Shippo stood holding the door closed. Koyasha turned and glared at Shippo. "Why you little!" The two began resting in the hallway, while marina hurried and put on her Kimono. She carefully tied the butterfly bow and felt the creases to make sure it looked right. "I'm glad I watched Riico tie hers the other day. But what will I do about my hair, I didn't bring a brush, or anything else fro that matter." She frowned. She walked over to the door and opened it. Shippo lay on the ground supporting Koyasha who was on top of him. Shippo tugging on Koyasha's ears while Koyasha pulled on Shippo's tail. The two growled at each other then noticed her standing there. Shippo kicked his legs up and threw off Koyasha. Koyasha rolled over and crouched ready to pounce again. Shippo stood up, "Is there anything I can get for you Lady Marina?" "I was just wondering if you had a comb or something I can use on my hair?" "Yes, there should be one in a small basket next to the door that leads outside in there." He pointed back in the room. Koyasha lunged at Shippo knocking him halfway across the hallway. Marina 'sighed' and went to look for the comb. She quickly found it and detangled her hair putting it back up the way it was the day before, in half buns on each side with the rest of her hair hanging loose.
She reemerged to the young boy beating Koyasha over the head. "You leave Master Shippo alone!!" while Koyasha held Shippo up by the tail. "Must you two fight?" Koyasha glared at Marina and dropped Shippo. Shippo rubbed the base of his tail. "Don't you know that hurts!" He yelled angrily at Koyasha. Koyasha spun around and grabbed the young boy by the neck holding him a good two feet off the ground. Marina looked upset "Koyasha you're hurting him. Please set him down." He growled and dropped the boy. "Soft hearted people make me sick." He slid the front door open and walked outside slamming it behind him. The boy coughed "Thank you" Marina kneeled down to the boy. "He didn't hurt you too badly did he?" She lightly touched his neck. "No" he rubbed it a moment a little surprised. "In fact if doesn't even hurt anymore." "What's your name?" "Desu, what's yours?" She smiled cheerfully. "My name is marina" The boy blushed "I'm sorry I walked in on you. I was wondering?" "What's that Desu?" "What were those clothes you were putting on for?" her face turned red and her cheeks puffed up. "That's nothing you should be concerned about!" She said half embarrassed and annoyed, remembering Koyasha asking the same thing the other night.
Shippo watched with amusement. ("At least I get a general idea of what happened this morning. It's my fault he came in. Desu usually wakes me in the morning. It slipped my mind last night. Oh well no harm no fowl.") Marina stood up and the boy grappled around her waist and hugged her nuzzling his face against her chest. "You're so nice I like you Big Sister!" Shippo Frogged his head. "Ouch!" "Don't get too attached Desu." Shippo's eyes were slanted. Desu stepped back nervously laughing "Ok she's spoken for I get the hint." She stood puzzled by the situation. ("Why did Master Shippo get so mad?") Koyasha opened the door sniffing the air walked in and sat down at the table. Shippo laughed ("Still lead by his stomach. I guess there are some things that the jewel will never change about him.") "Desu would you get breakfast for us?" Desu crept sideways still noting Shippo's annoyed expression, then ran off to the kitchen, "Sorry about that he's just a kid after all." "Sorry about what? Oh you mean his behavior; I have a little brother back home he is very loving like Desu." "Loving, there is a little bit of difference in intentions between them I'm sure." He said under his breath. "That's for sure." Koyasha commented. "For sure about what?" Marina inquired. "Don't worry about it." Shippo laughed, urging her into the table. Desu carried in the dishes. "Thank you as always for you help" Desu smiled and left turning around for a last look at the strange girl before he closed the door.
Marina nibbled at some rice and fish while the two men filled their stomachs. Shippo looked worried, "Why don't you eat more?" "Food just isn't important to me. I've never had an appetite to speak of." She pushed her plate aside and sipped her tea. "I still think you should eat more. It's not healthy to starve yourself." Marina looked sad ("Does everyone have to lecture me on my eating habits. At least Koyasha doesn't") Koyasha pushed the food back in front of her "Eat!" ("Ugh not him too!!") The two sat like sentries waiting for her to finish or at least eat a little more. She sat unhappily nibbling. She ate half of what was put in front of her and felt ill, it was the first time in years she had actually filled her stomach. Shippo eyed her suspiciously. "If I eat anymore I'm going to throw up." "Ok then I guess you're done." He picked up the food and went to go clean the dishes. "You two are mean" She grumbled lying down on the floor holding her stomach. "The last time I ate that much was when I binged on Cheese cake." "What's cheese cake?" Shipp entered the room and replied in unison with Koyasha. She leaned her head to the side so she could see the two young men. "If I can ever get the ingredients from back in my time I'll make it for you two." The two men looked at each other. "But coffee cheese cake is the best." She stuck out her tong "I'm making myself sick thinking about food" Shippo and Koyasha couldn't help but laugh at her. "I've never met someone who hated eating before." Shippo choked out.
Marina watched them ("They have to have been good friends; they even find the same things funny. It's so nice to know Koyasha has a friend. Since he obviously doesn't seem to like me as one.") Marina started laughing at herself. The situation was so stupid it was funny. Koyasha let out a heavy exhale. "Let's go" He stood up and waited for Marina to follow. "Yes, Koyasha." She lifted up waited a moment then stood. "So soon, but you jus arrived. I've be happy to have both of you stay with me." "We're leaving." Koyasha was agitated. "If we hope to find the jewel we must go." "The jewel, you mean it's been stolen?" ("Damn that girl, why did she have to say anything, now they'll be no getting rid of him!") Koyasha's face was dark and angry. "Then that settles it I'm coming with you." "No you're not fox boy!" "Try and stop me Koyasha!" the two were at each others throats again. ("I guess I'm going to be playing mediator for these two from now on.") She sighed. She smiled thinking about all the new adventures she'd have with her two new friends. She opened the door and looked out into the morning mist. "Today will be a good day. It's a shame I don't have my diary to write down all my experiences to tell my friends about."
Desu was on his way back to Shippo's home and ran when he saw her come out. "Are you leavening already big sister?" "Yes, it's time we have to move on." "Will you be back?" "May be in the future." "Do you promise?" Her eyes widened in surprise ("Everyone wants me to promise but a promise is so sacred. It would kill me to break one.") "I can't promise Desu but I'll try my best." She leaned down and hugged Desu. He pulled away and tried to wipe away the tears in his eyes. Marina smiled cheerfully. "If you cry over every girl who leaves you're in for a lot of heart ach." "But I want you to stay." Desu reminded her of her own brother when she left back in the states. ("Be brave now. I won't be gone that long. I promise I'll come back." That's right Spencer I promised, didn't I?") A tear rolled down her cheek "I can't promise Desu. But I'll try." She repeated. Shippo and Koyasha glance over from their stand off as she kissed Desu's cheek. Veins popped out in Shippo's neck and forehead. "Be good now, and watch out for others." She stood up and walked over to Shippo and Koyasha who both looked annoyed and angry. "Are we leaving now?" They both shouted 'Yes', stomping off towards the woods. Shippo yelled back, "Desu watch things for me." "Are you going too?" Shippo glance a smile to him. "Yeah, I'll be gone a while." "Ok Master Shippo!" Desu waved good bye to the three as they disappeared into the woods. Marina walked a few passes behind Koyasha and Shippo.
"Why are you still following us!?" Koyasha finally barked a half an hour later. Marina lagged behind just barely keeping the two in sight. "Because I'm going to help get the jewel of four souls back to where it belongs!" His eyes slanted at Koyasha as he spoke. "Need I remind you I'm going to get the jewel!? It's not going back to my parents!" The two were up in each others faces again. Marina caught up to them and continued walking past, right between them. They stared as she walked on. "Just where do you think you're going girl?" She didn't turn around, "You two have no problem catching up to me so I'm going to walk until I'm not able." "Oh" They continued their argument over the jewel.
She walked on looking up at the sun sparkling through the trees above her. The beams were warm against her skin. She closed her eyes and breathed deeply. A Faint odor caught her nose. She opened her eyes, and looked around. "I know that smell." The aroma was faint but sweet. She heard soft singing. "Where is that coming from?" She stepped off the path and walked deeper into the woods the singing grew louder. A medium sized waterfall stood flowing out of nowhere into a large pool of water. The sun light perfectly hit the water making it shimmer with silver and gold. A woman with almond brown hair like her own lay next to the water sweeping it with her fingers, singing a song. Her head and feet bobbed with the tune. Marina walked closer the women didn't seem to notice her although she only stood a few yards away. The Woman opened her eyes and stopped singing. Her eyes were blue like marina's the woman looked up at her it was like staring into a mirror that showed your adult self. The woman smiled and disappeared. Marina knelt beside the water and looked in, it was just her reflection; but something white caught her eye. She blinked and a single white feather floated down landing on the pool of water. She picked it up between her fingers and it disappeared. She stood up the fain smell from earlier tainted to a smell of rotting flesh. "Was I lured by a demon?!" she turned around there was nothing. She looked back at the pool it was a pool of blood. She looked down at her fingers that had touched the water, they were red. She screamed as fanged bat creatures emerged from the pool of blood and surrounded her. The waterfall that had looked so enchanting was now a hideous statue with blood flowing from its mouth. "What luck my brothers a young girl has come to offer herself to us."
Koyasha heard the faint scream and bolted with Shippo tagging behind rubbing his sore tail. "Stupid girl, why'd you have to go and find trouble?" "I hope Marina-chan is alright." The smell of death hit their senses; the two had to cover their noses to block out its overpowering odor. "Geeze even a human should be able to smell this." Koyasha's ear twitched and they ran off the path. He just had her in view when a hoard of the demon's attacked him and Shippo. "So madden how shall you die. Should we slice you neck, wrists, or just tear you limb from limb we wont kill you before this, the blood of humans in pain has a much more delightful taste. We have not had such a tender morsel as you in a while. He examined her neck. Marina longed for something even that pathetic feather if only she had a weapon. She felt something in her hand. It was not too heavy but felt hard. She didn't care what it was it was a weapon now. She gripped it and smacked it across the ring leaders' neck his head was too hard to reach for her to make a decent blow. The demon's face was hideous with terror his eyes rolled back as his head dropped off followed by his body falling to the ground the blood in his body siphoned out onto the ground while his body shriveled up cracked and turned to powder.
Her actions seemed to enrage the others seeing his death. Her eyes where blurred with desperation. A demon lunged at her; she spun around with her new weapon. The demon split in half along its stomach screeching in pain. Several others attacked. Losing limbs as they attempted to kill her. Her adrenalin was pumping now she wouldn't die without taking all of them with her. One wearing all blue grabbed the arm she was swinging with he was all that was left he had to die. "I won't let you, have it!" "Hey, wake up! Marina Stop!!" Tears flowed from her eyes she dropped her guard and buried her face into Koyasha's chest, sobbing. Shippo smacked one of the demon's with a stick knocking it's head clean off, just because it twitched its body deteriorated like the rest. The short sword she had held dropped to the ground. ("Koyasha is that him? Did he call me by my name?) She fell unconscious. Shippo examined the sword. The handle was ivory carved with cranes; the blade itself had a hair splitting edge. Shippo only saw this because a leave fell against it and was cut in half. The hand guard was unique it had white gold feathers etched and molded to the metal. But all in all the basic design was obviously Japanese.
Koyasha leaned her against a tree "Useless girl, we wouldn't have even had to battle those pathetic Vampire demons if she hadn't wandered off." "Look at that Koyasha" Shippo pointed to the short sword sticking out of the ground. He picked it up and it disappeared he opened his hand and a single white feather lay in his palm. Koyasha snarled "It's enchanted." Shippo took the feather an tucked it under Marina's obi, the spot glowed and then extended out to the sword with a sheath of white ivory and decorative white gold feathers wherever cranes were not etched. "Enchanted is right the sword is only loyal to her." "Or just humans" Koyasha added with destine. "That's possible too. So where are we going anyway Koyasha?" "'We', there is no 'we' Shippo! The girl and I are going on to the hunter's village." "Then you'd better take me, because those hunters will kill you thinking they're saving her. They know me at least with me you have a chance." Shippo challenged him with a half smile. "I can easily get past the hunters but getting the information I want will be difficult. You may prove to be useful. So come along if you must." Koyasha picked Marina up on his back. The sword tight at her side, and they went on destined for the hunters village. The trip would take at least another day.
Koyasha felt edgy the closer the sun came to the horizon. Marina opened her eyes near sun down, a little disoriented to her surroundings. Her worry subsided when she felt Koyasha's soft hair against her face. ("He's carrying me again. Shippo's still with us too.") Koyasha felt her head turn to the side. He turned his head to see her in his peripheral vision; she was staring at the sun set. ("Does she always stare at the setting sun? Come to think of it her eyes even opened for a moment when she was unconscious the first day I met her to look out the window at the sunset. What's so special about the sunset?") "Can you walk girl!" "I'll try." She said faintly. She wobbled a few steps and fell. "I think we'll rest here for the night." Shippo said helping her to a comfortable place to sit. The sun was just starting to sink into the horizon. She watched intently at the horizon even though it was hidden by trees, it was as though she could see right through them to the setting sun. "Koyasha, can I talk to you privately?" Koyasha seemed glittery looking for a place to run. He grumbled but followed Shippo into the woods. "Girl you better still be here when I get back!" She nodded side tracks by the sky's beauty.
"I know what day it is. Just the way you're acting is enough to give it away." Koyasha's eyes were cold the seemed to be trying to kill Shippo without the body's cooperation. "Listen she won't understand, get away from her. It will hurt her to see you." "What are you planning on doing keeping her away from me, so I can't find the jewel!?" Koyasha grabbed Shippo's neck and held him above the ground. "I'm not worried a bout the jewel right now!" "Like hell you're not!" "She's a good person don't you think she's been through enough at your blood soaked hands!" Shippo squirmed under his tightening grasp. The suns last rays disappeared. Koyasha trembled, the ears on top of his head sunk back into his head while human ears grew instead. Shippo felt the sharp point of Koyasha's nails slowly go away. "Damn you father!" Koyasha screamed into the night air as the last of his silver hair that gave the appearance of dark gray disappeared, making his hair black. His cold yellow eyes deepened into a dark brown. By all matters of appearance he looked human. He set down Shippo. "I'm sorry Shippo.I understand what you mean. I'll stay away from her." His eyes were sad and remorseful. ("This is the Koyasha I knew.") Shippo smiled and walked back to the camp sight. ("How could I do that to her I'm so ashamed.") Koyasha was sad he jumped up in a tree and watched the evening stars. "It may be the only time a have to undo wrongs but it would hurt those I care for more to know that I do care. Damn this jewel that plagues me!" Shippo came back to the camp to find Marina had already started a fire and was cooking. "Where is Koyasha?" "He's in a mood again, he won't be back tonight." She nodded. "Is the food done?" "Yes, I'm very tired. Do you mind if I go to sleep?" "No, of coarse not, good night." ("Good with her asleep they'll be no chance of them meeting.") Shippo smiled to himself. Shippo ate and went to sleep.
Marina's eyes popped open when she was sure Shippo was asleep. She took off her socks and sandals to tread softly on the ground and not wake him. ("I have to thank Koyasha for today. It doesn't feel right to go o sleep with things unsaid.") She tiptoed off into the woods making little noise. She walked softly through the woods trying to see but with no moon it was quite dark. She came to a clearing and saw a faint figure in the trees. "Koyasha is that you?" Her soft voice called into the darkness. The figure jumped down and stood a few yards from her. "You shouldn't have come here." It was his voice, but it had no malice or anger. He stepped forward into the faint light of the clearing in the trees. She stepped back a little afraid. "You're not Koyasha." She said with a waver in her voice. "Please look at my chest and tell me I'm not." She could see the purple glow of the evil jewel of four soles in his chest. "What happened to you?" "It's the new moon, because I'm only partial demon I turn human when my body is not pulled by the phases of the moon. Meaning when there is no moon in the night sky I turn human for that night." "But you're not acting like yourself...Sorry that's none of my business." She looked sad waiting for him to scream at her. "I'm sorry Marina, for the way I've treated you. I'm just glad I didn't kill you. Please forgive me; I know I don't deserve your kindness." Her heart beat hard in her chest. Koyasha felt the beat change in his own. She could have melted Koyasha was being kind to her not only that but he was apologizing, he even said her name!
"I don't care about any of that Koyasha." "You can't fool me you know." He patted his chest ."I have a built in lie detector." His gentle eyes melted through her cautious nature towards him. She could feel herself blushing, tears filled her eyes. How long would this last, couldn't it last forever, Why did he have to be so kind after all the cruelty? She couldn't stand it any longer she sobbed tears pored from her eyes. Koyasha stepped closer to her pulling her in to his arms. She willingly fell in his arms those arms she'd longed for tenderness from. "I'm sorry I shouldn't have let you see me this way. But when I saw you there I couldn't let you believe I was just a monster." "I never believed that!" She flung her head from side to side. A gentle breeze blew her hair. He lifted up her chin. "You're supposed to smile, I'm not being a jerk remember." He playfully winked to her. "Go on back to the camp site. You need to get some rest for tomorrow's journey." She snuggled in closer to him "Please can't I stay with you, I'm not tired. Please just a little longer." It hurt him so much to see her like this. Was she starving for his kindness this much, she had to know the truth why he was so different on the new moon. "I hungered for the strength this jewel would give me if I let it. When I was born the jewel split in halve, one half went to my heart the other stayed dormant. My parents feared they hadn't sealed the jewel properly. When my sister Fujiko was born they were afraid the other half would go to her but it remained in the shrine. My longing for the power of the jewel to be stronger than my father kept growing slowly the jewel consumed me. I didn't see it until it was too late the stop it. I was consumed by its evil. When I become human on the new moon is the only time the jewel loses its power over me."
Marina looked up at him. "That's why there is such a difference?" He nodded. "Isn't there anything you can do to remove the jewel? He shook his head, "My parents tried, I was too weak there was just too much damage for my demon blood to heal. So they were forced to put the jewel back in me to save my life." "I could heal you!" Koyasha shook his head. "I've seen how much it takes out of you to heal.It would kill you to succeed." Her face grew very sad for she knew it was true. She heard a rustling in the woods and turned around. Shippo stood looking very hurt. She pushed away from Koyasha her face was bright red. ("What was I thinking I knew this would hurt him if he saw me with Koyasha like this. But Koyasha is never like this. Who do I care for more do I love Koyasha, or Shippo? Do I even love either of them? Is this some pathetic high school crush?") Marina was so confused. Should she explain the reason she came to Koyasha? "It's ok Shippo I was just explaining about the jewel." Shippo never thought he'd feel such hatred towards anyone as he felt towards Koyasha right now. "That's not true and you know it Koyasha!" Marina backed away against a tree. "Are you that jealous Shippo? What if it isn't true should that be any of your business!" The two lunged at each other. This was no play fight they were fighting for real.Marina couldn't stand ruining a friendship like there's she couldn't stand being the reason for a fight. It was her fault wasn't it if she'd never have came none of this would have happened. "You two are so stupid, fighting over a girl who doesn't love either of you!" She ran off into the woods any where was good, anywhere but here. Did she lie was this true what she said, she didn't know I'll she knew was she had to get away from them to clear her head. The men stopped fighting and stared in disbelief was what she said true? "We have to find her." Shippo nodded they took off into the woods after her.
Shippo stepped down on a wet spot on the ground. He felt the ground were these tears? He looked at his fingers they were dark. "Blood, is this hers?" Her feet hurt from running she couldn't breath but she wouldn't stop running. "I have to get away from them." Koyasha felt the warm blood under his feet and followed. She ran through a stream starting to slip but kept going. Nothing was far enough, no she could feel them behind her. ("Please just leave me alone. I can't face either of you right now. I'm too confused I'd rather face a demon then you two right now.") Why did her wishes always have a nasty way of coming true? She smacked into a large demon chewing on a human leg that was half rotten. Spikes stuck out along his back, his hair was gnarled and red and a vicious spiked tail swished back and forth with excitement. "Fresh human meat I haven't had that in some time. Come here little girl!" Shippo started running faster "Did you here that!" "Barely" Koyasha picked up his speed too the two darted through the trees. Marina ran behind a tree as the demon struck for her. The tree lopped off sending leaves flying all around. "Quit hiding woman I'll get you no matter where you go to!" The tickle was back with a vengeance she started coughing blood pored from her lips. "I can hear you." The demon taunted shoving aside a tree. She struggled to stand but fell short her feet felt like they had run through coals. She didn't notice till then that they had been bleeding the whole time she had been running. ("I remember I stepped on something sharp but I kept running. Of all the times for this to happen") she was still coughing. A puddle of blood was forming in front of her. ("I wish I hadn't run away!") She felt the evil demon looming over her. Was this it was it the end? "I'm sorry I broke my promise Spencer. I guess this is as far as I can help you Koyasha." She closed her eyes expecting to feel claws digging into her.
"Don't think you're getting out of you're promise to me that easily." Koyasha grabbed her and rolled with her on the ground dodging the demon's assault. Shippo came down hard on the demons head with a stick. "We're not through talking to her yet. So why don't you just back off!" Shippo nodded to Koyasha. Koyasha ran off carrying Marina like a small child in his arms. ("Everyone is always having to save me, why did I have to be born so weak!?") Koyasha carried her back to the stream. "Wait here we'll come back and get you. Don't you dare try and go off on your own!" Koyasha was angry, but was it at her? ("I hurt them both very deeply, I know that now. I shouldn't have said what I did to them. I know now that I didn't mean it but it sounded like I did. I care for them both a great deal I can't show one attention more than the other; from now on I can only be friends with them.") Koyasha returned clutching his side while Shippo limped. "Are you alright Lady Marina?" "Thank you both. He would have killed me if you two hadn't come." Her voice was very faint. She was soaking her feet in the stream. A light cloud of red came from them every so often. They smiled to her. She smiled back, there was no more animosity for each other the two were genuinely relieved she wasn't hurt too badly. ("They don't even seem angry with each other any more. This can work we can be just friends. We will look out for each other. I guess I don't have to say Master before Shippo's name now")
Koyasha picked her up piggy back and they headed back to the camp. "Shippo is your leg hurt badly?" He shook his head. "Are you ok Koyasha?" "Yeah I'll be fine by morning." "I think what you mean is your wound will be fine by morning." Koyasha smiled, "This is true." The two laughed. Marina smiled, ("They must be good friends to let a fight like earlier remain in the past.") Marina began humming 'Chang the world' to herself. "I've never heard that tune before, what is it?" Koyasha inquired. "Just a happy song." She smiled poking his cheek. "What are the words?" Shippo chirped in.

It's wonderland
Translation to the words I want to change the world
Piercing through the gales, unafraid of anything,
Now I hold my courage and pieces of my smile
Change my mind
If we reach out to the soaring future
without losing our passion, we'll be able to shine,
It's wonderland
You've left something in the far reaches of the grey sky,
and you keep on searching
as you wander.
In the night when your heart shook, and I can't see tomorrow
I can't believe anything, and close my ears.
When I met you, I found my true place in life.
An innocent kindness is right here.
And so we awaken...
I want to change the world
I won't hesitate again. If I can shape a future with you,
then I can fly anywhere.
Change my mind
I can spread my wings and fly towards the unknown future
without losing my passion.
It's wonderland
We keep swimming the same world
until the day we reach our dreams.
All of us bear the same worries
When you stop and look, I'll be right here
gazing at you.
I want to change the world
If you accept my gaze as I watch over you
and don't let go of my hand, I can do anything.
Change my mind
I won't let you be alone. Everyone is here.
Let's pierce our way through whatever may happen.
It's wonderland
I want to change the world
Piercing through the gales, unafraid of anything,
Now I hold my courage and pieces of my smile
Change my mind
If we reach out to the soaring future
without losing our passion, we'll be able to shine.
It's wonderland
She sang the song to them as they walked back to camp. The two seemed as pleased and content with the song as she was. It fit, they would always be together.

Inuyasha Beyond the Skin Chapter Five 'The feather sword and Koyasha him self'
Marina awoke to a chill morning air creeping across the floor. She rubbed her eyes sat up and stretched. She looked over at her clothes she had laid next to a pile of books. "I hope I can remember hot to tie the obi." She took off her kimono picked up her panties and put them on then reached for her braw. The door to the room slid open, "Good morning Master Shippo!" The boy's eyes looked like grape fruits gaping out of his head. She squealed covered her chest with on arm and threw a book with the other. Koyasha happened to be walking by as the boy slammed shut the door and ran off, the book cam sailing through the screen on the door and smacked Koyasha in the head. He opened the door "What the Hell'd ya do that for!" He stopped and stared. She was trying to latch her braw. She screamed again and grabbed her Kimono to cover her almost naked body. The door slammed shut on Koyasha's head. Shippo stood holding the door closed. Koyasha turned and glared at Shippo. "Why you little!" The two began resting in the hallway, while marina hurried and put on her Kimono. She carefully tied the butterfly bow and felt the creases to make sure it looked right. "I'm glad I watched Riico tie hers the other day. But what will I do about my hair, I didn't bring a brush, or anything else fro that matter." She frowned. She walked over to the door and opened it. Shippo lay on the ground supporting Koyasha who was on top of him. Shippo tugging on Koyasha's ears while Koyasha pulled on Shippo's tail. The two growled at each other then noticed her standing there. Shippo kicked his legs up and threw off Koyasha. Koyasha rolled over and crouched ready to pounce again. Shippo stood up, "Is there anything I can get for you Lady Marina?" "I was just wondering if you had a comb or something I can use on my hair?" "Yes, there should be one in a small basket next to the door that leads outside in there." He pointed back in the room. Koyasha lunged at Shippo knocking him halfway across the hallway. Marina 'sighed' and went to look for the comb. She quickly found it and detangled her hair putting it back up the way it was the day before, in half buns on each side with the rest of her hair hanging loose.
She reemerged to the young boy beating Koyasha over the head. "You leave Master Shippo alone!!" while Koyasha held Shippo up by the tail. "Must you two fight?" Koyasha glared at Marina and dropped Shippo. Shippo rubbed the base of his tail. "Don't you know that hurts!" He yelled angrily at Koyasha. Koyasha spun around and grabbed the young boy by the neck holding him a good two feet off the ground. Marina looked upset "Koyasha you're hurting him. Please set him down." He growled and dropped the boy. "Soft hearted people make me sick." He slid the front door open and walked outside slamming it behind him. The boy coughed "Thank you" Marina kneeled down to the boy. "He didn't hurt you too badly did he?" She lightly touched his neck. "No" he rubbed it a moment a little surprised. "In fact if doesn't even hurt anymore." "What's your name?" "Desu, what's yours?" She smiled cheerfully. "My name is marina" The boy blushed "I'm sorry I walked in on you. I was wondering?" "What's that Desu?" "What were those clothes you were putting on for?" her face turned red and her cheeks puffed up. "That's nothing you should be concerned about!" She said half embarrassed and annoyed, remembering Koyasha asking the same thing the other night.
Shippo watched with amusement. ("At least I get a general idea of what happened this morning. It's my fault he came in. Desu usually wakes me in the morning. It slipped my mind last night. Oh well no harm no fowl.") Marina stood up and the boy grappled around her waist and hugged her nuzzling his face against her chest. "You're so nice I like you Big Sister!" Shippo Frogged his head. "Ouch!" "Don't get too attached Desu." Shippo's eyes were slanted. Desu stepped back nervously laughing "Ok she's spoken for I get the hint." She stood puzzled by the situation. ("Why did Master Shippo get so mad?") Koyasha opened the door sniffing the air walked in and sat down at the table. Shippo laughed ("Still lead by his stomach. I guess there are some things that the jewel will never change about him.") "Desu would you get breakfast for us?" Desu crept sideways still noting Shippo's annoyed expression, then ran off to the kitchen, "Sorry about that he's just a kid after all." "Sorry about what? Oh you mean his behavior; I have a little brother back home he is very loving like Desu." "Loving, there is a little bit of difference in intentions between them I'm sure." He said under his breath. "That's for sure." Koyasha commented. "For sure about what?" Marina inquired. "Don't worry about it." Shippo laughed, urging her into the table. Desu carried in the dishes. "Thank you as always for you help" Desu smiled and left turning around for a last look at the strange girl before he closed the door.
Marina nibbled at some rice and fish while the two men filled their stomachs. Shippo looked worried, "Why don't you eat more?" "Food just isn't important to me. I've never had an appetite to speak of." She pushed her plate aside and sipped her tea. "I still think you should eat more. It's not healthy to starve yourself." Marina looked sad ("Does everyone have to lecture me on my eating habits. At least Koyasha doesn't") Koyasha pushed the food back in front of her "Eat!" ("Ugh not him too!!") The two sat like sentries waiting for her to finish or at least eat a little more. She sat unhappily nibbling. She ate half of what was put in front of her and felt ill, it was the first time in years she had actually filled her stomach. Shippo eyed her suspiciously. "If I eat anymore I'm going to throw up." "Ok then I guess you're done." He picked up the food and went to go clean the dishes. "You two are mean" She grumbled lying down on the floor holding her stomach. "The last time I ate that much was when I binged on Cheese cake." "What's cheese cake?" Shipp entered the room and replied in unison with Koyasha. She leaned her head to the side so she could see the two young men. "If I can ever get the ingredients from back in my time I'll make it for you two." The two men looked at each other. "But coffee cheese cake is the best." She stuck out her tong "I'm making myself sick thinking about food" Shippo and Koyasha couldn't help but laugh at her. "I've never met someone who hated eating before." Shippo choked out.
Marina watched them ("They have to have been good friends; they even find the same things funny. It's so nice to know Koyasha has a friend. Since he obviously doesn't seem to like me as one.") Marina started laughing at herself. The situation was so stupid it was funny. Koyasha let out a heavy exhale. "Let's go" He stood up and waited for Marina to follow. "Yes, Koyasha." She lifted up waited a moment then stood. "So soon, but you jus arrived. I've be happy to have both of you stay with me." "We're leaving." Koyasha was agitated. "If we hope to find the jewel we must go." "The jewel, you mean it's been stolen?" ("Damn that girl, why did she have to say anything, now they'll be no getting rid of him!") Koyasha's face was dark and angry. "Then that settles it I'm coming with you." "No you're not fox boy!" "Try and stop me Koyasha!" the two were at each others throats again. ("I guess I'm going to be playing mediator for these two from now on.") She sighed. She smiled thinking about all the new adventures she'd have with her two new friends. She opened the door and looked out into the morning mist. "Today will be a good day. It's a shame I don't have my diary to write down all my experiences to tell my friends about."
Desu was on his way back to Shippo's home and ran when he saw her come out. "Are you leavening already big sister?" "Yes, it's time we have to move on." "Will you be back?" "May be in the future." "Do you promise?" Her eyes widened in surprise ("Everyone wants me to promise but a promise is so sacred. It would kill me to break one.") "I can't promise Desu but I'll try my best." She leaned down and hugged Desu. He pulled away and tried to wipe away the tears in his eyes. Marina smiled cheerfully. "If you cry over every girl who leaves you're in for a lot of heart ach." "But I want you to stay." Desu reminded her of her own brother when she left back in the states. ("Be brave now. I won't be gone that long. I promise I'll come back." That's right Spencer I promised, didn't I?") A tear rolled down her cheek "I can't promise Desu. But I'll try." She repeated. Shippo and Koyasha glance over from their stand off as she kissed Desu's cheek. Veins popped out in Shippo's neck and forehead. "Be good now, and watch out for others." She stood up and walked over to Shippo and Koyasha who both looked annoyed and angry. "Are we leaving now?" They both shouted 'Yes', stomping off towards the woods. Shippo yelled back, "Desu watch things for me." "Are you going too?" Shippo glance a smile to him. "Yeah, I'll be gone a while." "Ok Master Shippo!" Desu waved good bye to the three as they disappeared into the woods. Marina walked a few passes behind Koyasha and Shippo.
"Why are you still following us!?" Koyasha finally barked a half an hour later. Marina lagged behind just barely keeping the two in sight. "Because I'm going to help get the jewel of four souls back to where it belongs!" His eyes slanted at Koyasha as he spoke. "Need I remind you I'm going to get the jewel!? It's not going back to my parents!" The two were up in each others faces again. Marina caught up to them and continued walking past, right between them. They stared as she walked on. "Just where do you think you're going girl?" She didn't turn around, "You two have no problem catching up to me so I'm going to walk until I'm not able." "Oh" They continued their argument over the jewel.
She walked on looking up at the sun sparkling through the trees above her. The beams were warm against her skin. She closed her eyes and breathed deeply. A Faint odor caught her nose. She opened her eyes, and looked around. "I know that smell." The aroma was faint but sweet. She heard soft singing. "Where is that coming from?" She stepped off the path and walked deeper into the woods the singing grew louder. A medium sized waterfall stood flowing out of nowhere into a large pool of water. The sun light perfectly hit the water making it shimmer with silver and gold. A woman with almond brown hair like her own lay next to the water sweeping it with her fingers, singing a song. Her head and feet bobbed with the tune. Marina walked closer the women didn't seem to notice her although she only stood a few yards away. The Woman opened her eyes and stopped singing. Her eyes were blue like marina's the woman looked up at her it was like staring into a mirror that showed your adult self. The woman smiled and disappeared. Marina knelt beside the water and looked in, it was just her reflection; but something white caught her eye. She blinked and a single white feather floated down landing on the pool of water. She picked it up between her fingers and it disappeared. She stood up the fain smell from earlier tainted to a smell of rotting flesh. "Was I lured by a demon?!" she turned around there was nothing. She looked back at the pool it was a pool of blood. She looked down at her fingers that had touched the water, they were red. She screamed as fanged bat creatures emerged from the pool of blood and surrounded her. The waterfall that had looked so enchanting was now a hideous statue with blood flowing from its mouth. "What luck my brothers a young girl has come to offer herself to us."
Koyasha heard the faint scream and bolted with Shippo tagging behind rubbing his sore tail. "Stupid girl, why'd you have to go and find trouble?" "I hope Marina-chan is alright." The smell of death hit their senses; the two had to cover their noses to block out its overpowering odor. "Geeze even a human should be able to smell this." Koyasha's ear twitched and they ran off the path. He just had her in view when a hoard of the demon's attacked him and Shippo. "So madden how shall you die. Should we slice you neck, wrists, or just tear you limb from limb we wont kill you before this, the blood of humans in pain has a much more delightful taste. We have not had such a tender morsel as you in a while. He examined her neck. Marina longed for something even that pathetic feather if only she had a weapon. She felt something in her hand. It was not too heavy but felt hard. She didn't care what it was it was a weapon now. She gripped it and smacked it across the ring leaders' neck his head was too hard to reach for her to make a decent blow. The demon's face was hideous with terror his eyes rolled back as his head dropped off followed by his body falling to the ground the blood in his body siphoned out onto the ground while his body shriveled up cracked and turned to powder.
Her actions seemed to enrage the others seeing his death. Her eyes where blurred with desperation. A demon lunged at her; she spun around with her new weapon. The demon split in half along its stomach screeching in pain. Several others attacked. Losing limbs as they attempted to kill her. Her adrenalin was pumping now she wouldn't die without taking all of them with her. One wearing all blue grabbed the arm she was swinging with he was all that was left he had to die. "I won't let you, have it!" "Hey, wake up! Marina Stop!!" Tears flowed from her eyes she dropped her guard and buried her face into Koyasha's chest, sobbing. Shippo smacked one of the demon's with a stick knocking it's head clean off, just because it twitched its body deteriorated like the rest. The short sword she had held dropped to the ground. ("Koyasha is that him? Did he call me by my name?) She fell unconscious. Shippo examined the sword. The handle was ivory carved with cranes; the blade itself had a hair splitting edge. Shippo only saw this because a leave fell against it and was cut in half. The hand guard was unique it had white gold feathers etched and molded to the metal. But all in all the basic design was obviously Japanese.
Koyasha leaned her against a tree "Useless girl, we wouldn't have even had to battle those pathetic Vampire demons if she hadn't wandered off." "Look at that Koyasha" Shippo pointed to the short sword sticking out of the ground. He picked it up and it disappeared he opened his hand and a single white feather lay in his palm. Koyasha snarled "It's enchanted." Shippo took the feather an tucked it under Marina's obi, the spot glowed and then extended out to the sword with a sheath of white ivory and decorative white gold feathers wherever cranes were not etched. "Enchanted is right the sword is only loyal to her." "Or just humans" Koyasha added with destine. "That's possible too. So where are we going anyway Koyasha?" "'We', there is no 'we' Shippo! The girl and I are going on to the hunter's village." "Then you'd better take me, because those hunters will kill you thinking they're saving her. They know me at least with me you have a chance." Shippo challenged him with a half smile. "I can easily get past the hunters but getting the information I want will be difficult. You may prove to be useful. So come along if you must." Koyasha picked Marina up on his back. The sword tight at her side, and they went on destined for the hunters village. The trip would take at least another day.
Koyasha felt edgy the closer the sun came to the horizon. Marina opened her eyes near sun down, a little disoriented to her surroundings. Her worry subsided when she felt Koyasha's soft hair against her face. ("He's carrying me again. Shippo's still with us too.") Koyasha felt her head turn to the side. He turned his head to see her in his peripheral vision; she was staring at the sun set. ("Does she always stare at the setting sun? Come to think of it her eyes even opened for a moment when she was unconscious the first day I met her to look out the window at the sunset. What's so special about the sunset?") "Can you walk girl!" "I'll try." She said faintly. She wobbled a few steps and fell. "I think we'll rest here for the night." Shippo said helping her to a comfortable place to sit. The sun was just starting to sink into the horizon. She watched intently at the horizon even though it was hidden by trees, it was as though she could see right through them to the setting sun. "Koyasha, can I talk to you privately?" Koyasha seemed glittery looking for a place to run. He grumbled but followed Shippo into the woods. "Girl you better still be here when I get back!" She nodded side tracks by the sky's beauty.
"I know what day it is. Just the way you're acting is enough to give it away." Koyasha's eyes were cold the seemed to be trying to kill Shippo without the body's cooperation. "Listen she won't understand, get away from her. It will hurt her to see you." "What are you planning on doing keeping her away from me, so I can't find the jewel!?" Koyasha grabbed Shippo's neck and held him above the ground. "I'm not worried a bout the jewel right now!" "Like hell you're not!" "She's a good person don't you think she's been through enough at your blood soaked hands!" Shippo squirmed under his tightening grasp. The suns last rays disappeared. Koyasha trembled, the ears on top of his head sunk back into his head while human ears grew instead. Shippo felt the sharp point of Koyasha's nails slowly go away. "Damn you father!" Koyasha screamed into the night air as the last of his silver hair that gave the appearance of dark gray disappeared, making his hair black. His cold yellow eyes deepened into a dark brown. By all matters of appearance he looked human. He set down Shippo. "I'm sorry Shippo.I understand what you mean. I'll stay away from her." His eyes were sad and remorseful. ("This is the Koyasha I knew.") Shippo smiled and walked back to the camp sight. ("How could I do that to her I'm so ashamed.") Koyasha was sad he jumped up in a tree and watched the evening stars. "It may be the only time a have to undo wrongs but it would hurt those I care for more to know that I do care. Damn this jewel that plagues me!" Shippo came back to the camp to find Marina had already started a fire and was cooking. "Where is Koyasha?" "He's in a mood again, he won't be back tonight." She nodded. "Is the food done?" "Yes, I'm very tired. Do you mind if I go to sleep?" "No, of coarse not, good night." ("Good with her asleep they'll be no chance of them meeting.") Shippo smiled to himself. Shippo ate and went to sleep.
Marina's eyes popped open when she was sure Shippo was asleep. She took off her socks and sandals to tread softly on the ground and not wake him. ("I have to thank Koyasha for today. It doesn't feel right to go o sleep with things unsaid.") She tiptoed off into the woods making little noise. She walked softly through the woods trying to see but with no moon it was quite dark. She came to a clearing and saw a faint figure in the trees. "Koyasha is that you?" Her soft voice called into the darkness. The figure jumped down and stood a few yards from her. "You shouldn't have come here." It was his voice, but it had no malice or anger. He stepped forward into the faint light of the clearing in the trees. She stepped back a little afraid. "You're not Koyasha." She said with a waver in her voice. "Please look at my chest and tell me I'm not." She could see the purple glow of the evil jewel of four soles in his chest. "What happened to you?" "It's the new moon, because I'm only partial demon I turn human when my body is not pulled by the phases of the moon. Meaning when there is no moon in the night sky I turn human for that night." "But you're not acting like yourself...Sorry that's none of my business." She looked sad waiting for him to scream at her. "I'm sorry Marina, for the way I've treated you. I'm just glad I didn't kill you. Please forgive me; I know I don't deserve your kindness." Her heart beat hard in her chest. Koyasha felt the beat change in his own. She could have melted Koyasha was being kind to her not only that but he was apologizing, he even said her name!
"I don't care about any of that Koyasha." "You can't fool me you know." He patted his chest ."I have a built in lie detector." His gentle eyes melted through her cautious nature towards him. She could feel herself blushing, tears filled her eyes. How long would this last, couldn't it last forever, Why did he have to be so kind after all the cruelty? She couldn't stand it any longer she sobbed tears pored from her eyes. Koyasha stepped closer to her pulling her in to his arms. She willingly fell in his arms those arms she'd longed for tenderness from. "I'm sorry I shouldn't have let you see me this way. But when I saw you there I couldn't let you believe I was just a monster." "I never believed that!" She flung her head from side to side. A gentle breeze blew her hair. He lifted up her chin. "You're supposed to smile, I'm not being a jerk remember." He playfully winked to her. "Go on back to the camp site. You need to get some rest for tomorrow's journey." She snuggled in closer to him "Please can't I stay with you, I'm not tired. Please just a little longer." It hurt him so much to see her like this. Was she starving for his kindness this much, she had to know the truth why he was so different on the new moon. "I hungered for the strength this jewel would give me if I let it. When I was born the jewel split in halve, one half went to my heart the other stayed dormant. My parents feared they hadn't sealed the jewel properly. When my sister Fujiko was born they were afraid the other half would go to her but it remained in the shrine. My longing for the power of the jewel to be stronger than my father kept growing slowly the jewel consumed me. I didn't see it until it was too late the stop it. I was consumed by its evil. When I become human on the new moon is the only time the jewel loses its power over me."
Marina looked up at him. "That's why there is such a difference?" He nodded. "Isn't there anything you can do to remove the jewel? He shook his head, "My parents tried, I was too weak there was just too much damage for my demon blood to heal. So they were forced to put the jewel back in me to save my life." "I could heal you!" Koyasha shook his head. "I've seen how much it takes out of you to heal.It would kill you to succeed." Her face grew very sad for she knew it was true. She heard a rustling in the woods and turned around. Shippo stood looking very hurt. She pushed away from Koyasha her face was bright red. ("What was I thinking I knew this would hurt him if he saw me with Koyasha like this. But Koyasha is never like this. Who do I care for more do I love Koyasha, or Shippo? Do I even love either of them? Is this some pathetic high school crush?") Marina was so confused. Should she explain the reason she came to Koyasha? "It's ok Shippo I was just explaining about the jewel." Shippo never thought he'd feel such hatred towards anyone as he felt towards Koyasha right now. "That's not true and you know it Koyasha!" Marina backed away against a tree. "Are you that jealous Shippo? What if it isn't true should that be any of your business!" The two lunged at each other. This was no play fight they were fighting for real.Marina couldn't stand ruining a friendship like there's she couldn't stand being the reason for a fight. It was her fault wasn't it if she'd never have came none of this would have happened. "You two are so stupid, fighting over a girl who doesn't love either of you!" She ran off into the woods any where was good, anywhere but here. Did she lie was this true what she said, she didn't know I'll she knew was she had to get away from them to clear her head. The men stopped fighting and stared in disbelief was what she said true? "We have to find her." Shippo nodded they took off into the woods after her.
Shippo stepped down on a wet spot on the ground. He felt the ground were these tears? He looked at his fingers they were dark. "Blood, is this hers?" Her feet hurt from running she couldn't breath but she wouldn't stop running. "I have to get away from them." Koyasha felt the warm blood under his feet and followed. She ran through a stream starting to slip but kept going. Nothing was far enough, no she could feel them behind her. ("Please just leave me alone. I can't face either of you right now. I'm too confused I'd rather face a demon then you two right now.") Why did her wishes always have a nasty way of coming true? She smacked into a large demon chewing on a human leg that was half rotten. Spikes stuck out along his back, his hair was gnarled and red and a vicious spiked tail swished back and forth with excitement. "Fresh human meat I haven't had that in some time. Come here little girl!" Shippo started running faster "Did you here that!" "Barely" Koyasha picked up his speed too the two darted through the trees. Marina ran behind a tree as the demon struck for her. The tree lopped off sending leaves flying all around. "Quit hiding woman I'll get you no matter where you go to!" The tickle was back with a vengeance she started coughing blood pored from her lips. "I can hear you." The demon taunted shoving aside a tree. She struggled to stand but fell short her feet felt like they had run through coals. She didn't notice till then that they had been bleeding the whole time she had been running. ("I remember I stepped on something sharp but I kept running. Of all the times for this to happen") she was still coughing. A puddle of blood was forming in front of her. ("I wish I hadn't run away!") She felt the evil demon looming over her. Was this it was it the end? "I'm sorry I broke my promise Spencer. I guess this is as far as I can help you Koyasha." She closed her eyes expecting to feel claws digging into her.
"Don't think you're getting out of you're promise to me that easily." Koyasha grabbed her and rolled with her on the ground dodging the demon's assault. Shippo came down hard on the demons head with a stick. "We're not through talking to her yet. So why don't you just back off!" Shippo nodded to Koyasha. Koyasha ran off carrying Marina like a small child in his arms. ("Everyone is always having to save me, why did I have to be born so weak!?") Koyasha carried her back to the stream. "Wait here we'll come back and get you. Don't you dare try and go off on your own!" Koyasha was angry, but was it at her? ("I hurt them both very deeply, I know that now. I shouldn't have said what I did to them. I know now that I didn't mean it but it sounded like I did. I care for them both a great deal I can't show one attention more than the other; from now on I can only be friends with them.") Koyasha returned clutching his side while Shippo limped. "Are you alright Lady Marina?" "Thank you both. He would have killed me if you two hadn't come." Her voice was very faint. She was soaking her feet in the stream. A light cloud of red came from them every so often. They smiled to her. She smiled back, there was no more animosity for each other the two were genuinely relieved she wasn't hurt too badly. ("They don't even seem angry with each other any more. This can work we can be just friends. We will look out for each other. I guess I don't have to say Master before Shippo's name now")
Koyasha picked her up piggy back and they headed back to the camp. "Shippo is your leg hurt badly?" He shook his head. "Are you ok Koyasha?" "Yeah I'll be fine by morning." "I think what you mean is your wound will be fine by morning." Koyasha smiled, "This is true." The two laughed. Marina smiled, ("They must be good friends to let a fight like earlier remain in the past.") Marina began humming 'Chang the world' to herself. "I've never heard that tune before, what is it?" Koyasha inquired. "Just a happy song." She smiled poking his cheek. "What are the words?" Shippo chirped in.

It's wonderland
Translation to the words I want to change the world
Piercing through the gales, unafraid of anything,
Now I hold my courage and pieces of my smile
Change my mind
If we reach out to the soaring future
without losing our passion, we'll be able to shine,
It's wonderland
You've left something in the far reaches of the grey sky,
and you keep on searching
as you wander.
In the night when your heart shook, and I can't see tomorrow
I can't believe anything, and close my ears.
When I met you, I found my true place in life.
An innocent kindness is right here.
And so we awaken...
I want to change the world
I won't hesitate again. If I can shape a future with you,
then I can fly anywhere.
Change my mind
I can spread my wings and fly towards the unknown future
without losing my passion.
It's wonderland
We keep swimming the same world
until the day we reach our dreams.
All of us bear the same worries
When you stop and look, I'll be right here
gazing at you.
I want to change the world
If you accept my gaze as I watch over you
and don't let go of my hand, I can do anything.
Change my mind
I won't let you be alone. Everyone is here.
Let's pierce our way through whatever may happen.
It's wonderland
I want to change the world
Piercing through the gales, unafraid of anything,
Now I hold my courage and pieces of my smile
Change my mind
If we reach out to the soaring future
without losing our passion, we'll be able to shine.
It's wonderland
