Note POV indicates a change of view ex: POV Kagome, means that the story is
now being told from kagome's point of view. If it just said "kagome" it
would mean that the story is still from my point of view but is talking
about that character. Thanks!!
*disclaimer - as we all know, I do not own inu yasha, though I do own a couple of the characters, saeko and kiyoka - I made them up (sad isn't it, I only own the stupid characters, sigh..)
please read past the first part, it may seem weird at first because it starts with an invented character, but please read atleast until inu yasha or kagome or someone like that comes in. it gets better!!! Please REVIEW!!!!!!!
Chapter 1
Hmmm. Saeko sighed as she looked out the window at the old Higurashi temple and wished she could get away. Not that she wasn't grateful, but for the past few years - ever since she had been pushed forward in time she had wanted to go back, even if Inu yasha was dead and even if it meant facing up to her worst fears.
She had been sent here 100 years ago, which being as she was a hanyou, (I'm going with the idea that hanyou live until killed) really wasn't such a long time. She belonged in the feudal era, with Inu Yasha not in this modern world in which Naraku had sealed her.
She had adapted to all the new things of the present, and after the first 50 years she had just learned how to live in this new place as a single mom, without inu yasha.
Just after she had come to terms with his death, her daughter Kiyoka and herself had been put into a sleep for 49 years when suddenly they woke up under the god tree having to adapt to new times again.
She sighed again, in a few months it would be her 16th birthday, or really her 300th birthday as being hanyou she aged only once every twenty years. Kagome had been the one to find her and Kiyoka lying under the god tree.
They were only a few years apart and soon became fast friends. As Saeko had no home she and Kiyoka had been staying with the Higurashi's for the past six months.
She glanced over to Kiyoka who was playing quietly on the floor, she looked so much like him that - well she was all Saeko had left.
If it weren't for the Higurashi's and Kagome, Saeko didn't know what she'd do, she knew she couldn't balance Kiyoka, school and a job. As for school she could care less, she always managed to get decent marks but found it a waste of time, as all she learned here would be useless in the feudal ere if she could get back.
It surprised even her somedays how she could get away with going to school - her long clearish silver hair, pale almost transparent skin and stunning silver eyes were a dead giveaway. But she had learned through experiments how to appear human even though she was not. She could change her hair to brown, her eyes to green and make her skin less pale.
Kiyoka was hanyou as well and looked alarmingly like her father, Inu Yasha, with her short silver hair pulled back into a short ponytail, with her gold eyes and dog ears Saeko saw him every time she looked at her. Kiyoka's fighting techniques wer much like Inu Yasha's as well, probably due to the fact they were both Inu-youkai, though Kiyoka had other elements thrown in.
Saeko controlled the wind and rain ( a bit like Kagura, but different) while Kiyoka had minimal weather control but could hold her own with her claws. She, like Saeko spent much time in human form and when her claws disappeared, gold eyes turned to green and silver hair turned dark brown she had to rely on her mother to protect her, as in human form she was only 5, though technically 100. Even the Higurashi's didn't really know who and what they were.
POV Saeko
Kagome had been away a lot lately, her grandfather told her friends she had come down with all sorts of rare illnesses, none of which was true, but I played along because mrs. Higurashi asked me to.
I walked down to the bone eaters well every so often as that was the last and first place I ever saw kagome. Her friends said that she had a boyfriend, but I could tell by her expression that she had met a guy she liked. He may have shown some interest in her, maybe even kissed her but they certainly weren't a couple.
I could sense his heart was torn but who this person was was a mystery to me. I watched as kagome left the room of the well I quickly converted to human form, kiyoka doing the same. Just before I did so I sensed another presence, an extremely powerful youkai, Sesshomaru?
I had know sesshomaru as long as I had inu yasha, he was cold hearted and hated inu yasha but I felt that it would take but one person to melt his heart of ice. I wasn't that person but I was maybe his first friend, the first person besides his mother to care for him.
I dashed down the hall with a quick hello to kagome. I sprinted down the stairs and out the door and yelled Sesshomaru's name at the top of my lungs.
He emerged form his hiding place totally emotionless, before I could ract he grabbed my throat and pinned me up against a tree. Who are you? He growled, I slowly turned demon so he could recognize who I was. He stared at me in surprise before letting me go causing me to slam into the ground. Saeko? He whispered his stony expression lifting for a second.
Hai, I answered as kiyoka bounded towards us, hanyou again, it is me. Inu yasha said you were dead he said without feeling, he turned slowly to stare at kiyoka. What? I thought inuyasha was dead! I yelled in surprise. Totally ignoring my outburst he calmly stated and this would be inu yasha's pup, true?
Hai I responded again, she is , then kneeling to look kiyoka in the eye I told her that this was her uncle. At hearing this she grabbed his leg giving him a sort of hug. He merely looked down at her in disgust, get off me you filthy hanyou he snarled. Anger filled me but I knew I had to remain calm if I wanted my questions answered. Was inu yasha really alive? How did you get here? Can I return home?
We talked for a while and I discovered that he had followed kagome through the well and now that he had found me we would return to the feudal era. Finally with a hint of menace in his voice he said, inu yasha is not dead.
But.. but I saw him die I replied, then the memory hit me for the hundredth time today. It was a windy day, not my doing as I made my way across the field to where inu yasha stood his hair blowing out behind him. I felt as though I was in slow motion, I saw the blinding white light hit him but there was nothing I could do. He fell and didn't get back up again and I knew in my heart that he was dead.
I screamed and tried to get over to him but was grabbed from behind by naraku and brought here. I finished my thought and began top feel a little light headed and shocked, yes I remember that day all too well. Just before I passed out I saw him glare and say the bastard said you were dead too, I could tell they were still enemies.
Inu yasha
He sat in the tree thinking, tossing the rock up and down each time catching it. Kagome had gone home through the well, he had thought he'd sensed something following her but he supposed he was just a imagining it. He was deep in thought, thinking about kikyou and kagome, he knew he'd have to make a choice someday but " feh" they were both kind of annoying come to think of it.
If he could he couldn't choose either of them, he would choose "her," she had always been there for him and he for her until her death. They were to of been married the following week, she was pregnant and he felt his life was finally working out. He took her death to heart and it took him 48 years to come to terms with the fact.
A year after he had accepted the truth, he decided to become a full fledged youkai using the shikon no tama. He also decided that maybe he would try and find a mate, not someone to replace her, just he knew she wouldn't have wanted him to spend the remainder of his days lonely and unhappy, he figured it was worth a try.
That was about the time he met kikyou. She was young, pretty, capable and reminded him of saeko in some respects.
They grew closer over the next few years and when she asked him to turn human for her he had no second thoughts, he just wanted to get saeko out of his head. So they came to be deceived by naraku.
50 years later kagome broke kikyou's spell and inu yasha was trying once more to get the shikon no tama. He thought some more, his life was such a mess, he loved kagome too now, just as much as he had kikyou. Suddenly he remembered what he felt like around saeko and realized that he didn't really love either of them, he'd already given his heart away - and that was to saeko.
He had first met saeko when she was just a baby. He was about two in human years at the time and he found her outside on the step. He convinced his mother to keep her and they had been together ever since.
When inu yasha's parents both died and they were left to fend for their own. Despite the fact that she was a hanyou, she had befriended sesshomaru and he would occasionally come by and see if they were alright. She stayed with inu yasha until saeko was sixteen and inuyasha eighteen when she died. ( 9 months after coming to modern Japan kiyoka was born).
Inu yasha brought his hand up to his face only to find he had tears streaming down his cheeks. Damn it! I still love her and I can't forget about her he thought. He remembered the day she died, a bright light had hit him, pinning him to the ground.
When he got up he just saw her body disappear, leaving behind a trail of blood. He didn't actually see her die, but he knew in his heart he would never see her again. He knew she would never leave him and searched around desperately, but to no avail.
POV kagome
I ran away from the well hoping saeko didn't see me. As I ran up the stairs, she dashed right past at an incredible speed with a quick hello. I watched her sprit out the door and stop in the middle of the yard. I figured she just wanted some alone time.
She was always a bit different, not in a bad way but was hard to figure out , still through thick and thin we were still friends despite the age difference. She had a lot more to handle then me though, most people thought that kiyoka was her sister but I knew that she was really her daughter.
Even now that I had to put my life on hold to collect the shards of the shikon no tama she has still faced much more hardship then I suppose I ever will. I knew she had been in love and then something happened to him, but whenever I asked she closed up and wouldn't even tell me who he was.
Wait, where did she go? She had just been outside. I turned suddenly to see sesshomaru, I froze unable to scream for inuyasha. In his arms he held a limp saeko and a content kiyoka. I looked at him horrified, what did he do to her?
"saeko belongs in the past, not this. this future, I am taking her back he stated calmly. He then turned, darted out of the house and down the well. This would be a hard one to explain to my parents and inu yasha. But I knew no matter how annoyed inu yasha would be at me for losing my friends I had to help her, I had to figure out what was going on!!
POV kaeko
I woke up on a futon in a large, pretty room with kiyoka asleep beside me. Suddenly it all came back, inu yasha was alive, and I was back in the feudal era!! At that exact second sesshomaru walked in, "done sleeping?" he asked. Hai I replied, " then get out, you've over stayed your welcome" with that he stormed out.
He called over his shoulder " you were tricked by naraku into thinking inu yasha was dead, naraku was also the one to send you to the present" he began to leave again and then stopped. "I doubt we will ever meet again though we may yet, but if you ever have need of me use this" he said, he tossed a rock to me, "when you are in danger it will burn red and I will be able to sense it, goodbye" he stated then left for good.
I watched his retreating back.
Come on kiyokaa I murmured, waking her, we have a lot to do. Aside from finding inu yasha, I was intent on only one thing at this moment - destroying naraku. For all the pain he'd caused me, inu yasha and for the lives he took.
I would defeat him.
POV kagome
I grabbed my stuff as fast as I could and ran back out to the well. I dashed towards the village where inu yasha was sitting in a nearby tree. "sit boy" I called out causing him to smash into the ground. " WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR?!?" he yelled at me. Sorry but we have to hurry, sesshomaru has saeko, we have to save her!! "Feh, saeko died a long time ago, I don't know what you're blabbing about you idiot" he said looking kind of strained. "I'm the idiot? Saeko is alive, from what I could figure out from sesshomaru, she was transported to my time after being deceived by naraku.
He made her believe that the man she loved was dead and now sesshomaru has her and brought her back here with her daughter. D-daughter Inu Yasha mumbled looking taken aback. "Yeah, whats it to you?" I replied. "Nothing, just.. Let's go NOW!!
He grabbed my arm and began to dash towards the west, faster then usual. We arrived at sesshomaru's castle to find sesshomaru glaring at us from the gate, "he's kinda cute when he's not trying to kill us I thought."
The two talked for a while until inu yasha had the story stright. "Now get out of here before I finish you off" he growled. Suddenly I saw the expression on his face change - to concern? "she didn't" I heard him mutter under his breath. I watched as he lifted a stone out of his pocket, it was coloured blood red. Who? Demanded inu yasha.
"it seems your bitch has gotten herself into quite a mess" sesshomaru snarled. "S-saeko" inu yasha managed, "is she in danger?" sesshomaru pointed towards an area where the sky was dark - "she has taken on naraku single handedly it seems" was all he said. At the same time the two demons sprinted off towards her.
Inu yasha just yelled " stay here out of sight" and continued. I stayed stil for a few minutes, but when miroku, sango and shippo showed up we decided to go after them. I had to help!!
