I haven't updated in a while....*embarressed* But, now that is remedied. I
am feeling a little better, and my advanced classes have gotten a little
less hectic. (all of them are advanced..........-_-;;) anyway....sorry
about the wait, and I hope to get some more readers. I realize a lot of
Inuyasha fans left after Fanfic announced that they would remove 'lemon'
fics, but that doesn't mean you still cannot find good fics...Look at my
first fic, Together, and see what I mean. It is rated R, has a lemon, but
it is still there. So, there are still stories in that genre on here...you
just have to look...I don't want everyone to leave.....so, on with the
chappie, and thanks to those who appreciate my writing. You all bring
happiness to a life that no one should be forced to live.

Chapter 7: Explanations
Kanna looked at the taiyoukai, and sighed. (rare thing for her..)
"My master was Naraku. I do not know what has happened to him. As you may know, after the battle occured between Inuyasha, Naraku, and you in the other realm, he was destroyed. A baby, his remains, survived. In short, it was split, and Kagura and I were entrusted to the safety of both halves." she started, Sesshoumaru becoming very interested at this piece of information.
"The half that traveled with Kagura became a boy. He named himself Hakudoshi. He harbored all of Naraku's previous emotions, minus the human heart. The part that was with me, however, did not change. It was his heart, and eventually died." she continued, staring at the roses suspended from the wall.
"The half that is with Kagura continues to battle with your brother. Apparently, though, he does not know of me. I have recvieved no further orders, having been left to fend for myslelf. That is when I became...curious. I searched through the remains of Naraku's first castle, and came upon evidence that Kagura and I did not come completely from him." she paused, looking at Sesshoumaru for his reaction. He had an intense look, and motioned for her to continue.
I looked through the scrolls there, for he kept records of the villages he pillaged, and the youkai he defeated and absorbed. I found writings of an utsuro-youkai, that he killed. Her soul had traveled with him, and gathered flesh that he had discarded. That is how I came into existence. I guess you could say...that I am her reincarnation. She left enchanted roses behind, which he kept as a 'souvenier'." At this, Sesshoumaru gave a nod, connecting that bit of history to the flowers that plagued him now.
"I also found records, of an area near the northern mountains. Apparently, Naraku had found an abandoned kaze-youkai, and wiped her of all the memories of her past life. She became Kagura, his second offspring." she continued.
"A third, and a forth eventually, were created directly from his being, but they were killed. That sword that you call Tokijin, was made from the fang of the earlier one, Goshinki, as you probably know." When he heard this, he unconsciously thought of the powerful sword back at the castle, made from the fang of the youkai who had broken the Tetsusaiga.
"Finally, I found the roses. Memories plagued me, of people my reincarnation had cursed with them. I realized, that the last person she had given them to, was you. She died not even hours after she had given them to you, Sesshoumaru-sama." she said gravely, looking at him in silence.
"Unfortunately, her memories have not confided with me the remedy for these flowers. That is where you come in. Do you remember the day they were given to you? I need to obtain as much information as I can, if I am to reverse the effects of the yami-bara." she said, getting up.
"One thing plagues me. Every time I steal the soul of someone, a strange creature comes to me. It is a youkai, long and thin, with a dragon- like head. I believe it associates with the dead miko that Inuyasha knew, although I can't be certain. They are named Asuka and Koujo, and they try to steal the souls I take." she pondered, looking of into space.
( That is a MAJOR spoiler, from around manga volume 34 or something. Kikyou is not dead, and she has turned two of her shiki-gami-chuu into human-like creatures. I am sure one is named Asuka, but I am not so sure that I got the names right.)
Kikyou walked through the forests in the Nothern Lands, her bow carried carelessly over her shoulder.
She slowed her pace, as a voice called to her. Asuka, a shiki-gami- chuu, stopped in front of her mistress.
"Koujo and I have located the hanyou and his friends, Kikyou-sama. We also found a wandering soul in the process..." she said, looking expressionlessly at Kikyou.
A second girl walked up, a small light floating in between her hands. "For you...Kikyou-sama..." she whispered, letting the soul float towards the miko.
Kikyou smiled at them, and turned in the direction that Asuka was now indicating.
"They are heading to them place where the girl travels through time..." she said to herself, and walked away from that direction. She did not fancy a confronation from them yet, especially since they knew Naraku continued his assault because of her.
Asuka looked after her mistress, then ran towards the western lands. She took flight, while Koujo followed Kikyou. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------
Sesshoumaru looked up, sensing a new presense. There was a weak signal of youki, heading towards their general direction in flight.
"That... is one...." Kanna mumbled, getting up. She headed for the cave entrance, picking up her mirror from the table as she passed by.
"This place....it holds many dead souls...Kikyou-sama would benifit greatly if I were able to obtain possession of them..." Asuka said, landing a distance from the cave. She watched the entrance from a grove of trees, eyes focused intently for the person who lived there.
Kanna walked out, looking around for the intruder. She struggled with her eyesight, having no youki to enhance it. She saw a rustle in a nearby grove, and raised her morror in defence. Sesshoumaru followed her out, immediately sensing the hidden figure.
"Come out. We are aware of your presence. We mean you no harm, if you do not pose a threat." he said calmly, as the shiki-gami-chuu slowly stepped out. She looked at Kanna's mirror, sensing the one soul that still resided in it.
"I see you take an interest in this," Kanna said, holding up the glass. "I have no use for this... you may do as you please, soul- snatcher....." she said, the mirror beginning to glow. A light emmited from it, which Asuka quickly drew towards her.
"An appreciated offering...but I am interested in the souls that you keep in there, utsurojin....." she said, walking towards her. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------
Yamiko sat down on a futon, looking intently at Hokori, as he slept. He had fared well, for apparently being dead, and all of his strength had just about returned. He had told her his name, right before she brought him to the infirmary. She had asked him what it was, so she could alert his friends and family. She had gone to the servants quarters to do so, only to discover that he had no living friends or kin. She stared sadly at him, she knew how hard it was to live without anyone to comfort you. She decided that she would stay with him, for when he woke up.
Speaking of which, her patient was beginning to arose out of his sleep. He mumbled something about Shiou, his dead friend. She winced, as he looked for him. Realizing that his friend was not there, he let his eyes fall to his hands before him.
"I'm...sorry.... I do not know what happened... nor do I know who was your attacker..." she whispered, catching his attention abruptly. He stared at her, then relaxed.
"You are the one... who brought me here. Thank you." he said, smiling at her weakly. He tried to get up, but she pulled on his haori frantically.
"Don't... you don't know what happened to you, so we can't be sure if you are alright!" she exclaimed, looking worriedly at him.
"But, I have to get back... to my post! I must guard the castle, Sesshoumaru-sama will be most displeased if I do not!" he argued, and proceeded to get up. He stumbled around the room dizzily, until he managed to find the door.
"Sesshoumaru...-sama..." Yamiko breathed, her face pale. She had forgotten all about him. She must get back to him, and tell him what she had found out about those strange flowers.
She flew back to the front gates, retrieving the rose from the dust where she had tossed it. She walked to the doors, closing them tightly. She shivered when she caught Sesshoumaru's scent, noticing with alarm that it stopped at the doors. He had not returned inside, but she could find no trace of her master anywhere. She frantically flew through the halls, gathering the trusted servants, and had them help her search. No one could find a trace of the tai-youkai anywhere. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------
Well, minna-san? What do you think? I am starting to run out of ideas, so suggestions would be appreciated...heh, I can't help it...and I want to start another story, too! ^^()
Well, anyway, I will have a lot of time this weekend to type, so expect updates on all of my stories if everything goes alright. Heh, I was Sesshoumaru for Halloween...I have to see if I have a picture of myself in my costume....I don't think I took one...
Nayami: Yay...*claps, semi-enthusiastically*
Riinuka:*celebrate*
Sesshoumaru: kami-sama...what did I do to deserve such a crazy reincarnate....
Riinuka: *stops celebrating* Hey.....that's mean....*slump, starts to update her other fics*
Nayami: Mina-san wa hyouron, onegai shimasu?
(will you all review, please???)
Riinuka, signing off
ja mata de yo, miina-san!!!!!!! *runs off*
Oh, and if you want to see my new web site, go here!!
(you will have to copy and paste)
Nothing is there yet, but as soon as I can get some free time in the library, I will sacn some pics to upload!! ^^ Bye, everyone..review, kudasai!
