Chapter 6: A Long Lost Love, And a Disastrous
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
~*Flashback*~
Mika was on the road again. Wandering. A man...what was his name.........yes...Toshi. He helped her from those thieves...Those thieves that were going to rape her. Toshi Tsutsumi saved her from her demise. Normally, it'd be Inu-Yasha. But no. Mika had been struggling to live and put up with any abuse from humans and demons alike. All she wanted was a priest to bless her brother's grave...The Goshinbuku (The God Tree) where he was pinned to by the priestess Kikyo.
Those thieves had told her that they knew a priest who could bless the grounds. That was her problem. She trusted to easily. Not only that, she didn't even knew how to fight back. It was always Inu-Yasha there to protect her when she was in trouble. Now she was taking on the world defenseless. How stupid could she be? One of the thieves slammed her on the ground and started to unbutton her shirt. She was scared. What could she do?
All of a sudden, she heard a scream, and she saw a dashing young samurai break one of thieves' arm. He fell to the ground as the other two thieves took out their daggers. As she buttoned up her shirt, she stared in awe at what he just did.
Didn't he realize what he had just done? Doesn't he realize that she was a HALF-demon? No, he didn't care. He carried her back bridal style to where his army was. Their fort. Even with his mates giving him disappointing looks, he pushed it aside and set her gently down on a straw mat.
"Don't worry. You'll be fine," he said reassuringly. As he cleaned up her wounds, she was blushing the whole time and just stared at him. She didn't even notice the other men talking about her. She couldn't take her eyes off him. It was love at first sight.
~*End of Flashback*~
Mika was embracing Toshi as Toshi was embracing her back. He rested his chin on her head as she just stood there and cried.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Rose Whip!" Kurama yelled as he slashed down toward Ojike. They haven't been able to make even a scratch on him. He seemed to disappear in the shadows. Although that time, he didn't move. Everyone heard what sounded like a pulse, and everyone froze. They could move, couldn't speak. They were paralyzed and could only breathe.
Ojike looked at each of them in the eye and tickled their face with his breath. "Let's see...who should I start with first....How about the exterminator," he said as he got dangerously close to her face. Miroku tensed and Sango was sweating to death. Ojike then had a strange aura around him. "Heh...Kohaku is it?"
Sango flinched at the sound of her younger brother's name. When Ojike's aura disappeared, Kohaku stood before her.
"Kill her," Ojike said simply. Everyone watched helplessly as Sango was struck repeatedly by Kohaku's chain sickle. He was really trying to kill her. He was really trying to kill her with no hesitation at all. Miroku couldn't stand it. He started to chant, and he was freed from Ojike's curse. Ojike was surprised by this and screamed at Kohaku, "Finish her off!"
With that, Kohaku took the final strike...And killed his sister. Just like he did his father. Everyone stood in shock at Sango's body. They didn't even think it was possible that this could happen.
'No...Sango...' Miroku thought. He was enraged. First Naraku cursed his family. Now he killed the one woman he could think of actually spending a life with. He would not stand for this. He ran over to Sango's body with tears fighting to come out of his eyes. His vision was blurry, but when he finally blinked, the first tear reached landed on Sango's cheek. She didn't even stir.
At first, he wanted to kill Kohaku. But no. Kohaku doesn't know what he's doing. It was Ojike. Ojike must die. He turned around and was about to release the Kazanna, when he noticed Ojike wasn't there. The scariest part was that he couldn't sense Ojike's youki (demon power). The rest of the gang noticed Ojike before Miroku did, but they couldn't warn him on time. Ojike simply touched Miroku's hand, and the void got bigger and started to suck him in.
Miroku was panicking. This was his greatest fear. Being sucked up into his own void without really living his life. Without killing Naraku. He looked over to the others with a sad face. He knew what was going to happen. He noticed Sango's body and bowed down to hug her one last time. As he did so, there was a gasp among the whole gang. They were both sucked into the void. It was hard for them, but they had to face it. They had to face reality.
Miroku and Sango were dead.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Toshi? What are you doing here? I thought that you were dead," Mika asked as she looked into his eyes.
Toshi only smiled and brought her head once again against her chest. "That's not important my wife. What's important is that we're together again." Mika forcefully pushed away and stared him sternly in the face again.
"No Toshi. I want an answer. If you've been alive this whole time, why didn't you come back! Sakura and I were devastated! We didn't know what to do! Why do you think our daughter's dead now!" At first, Mika was happy to see him. Now she was enraged. After all this time, after 50 years, he decides to show up.
"It is not that simple...I HAVE been dead for these past 50 years....and to be honest, I don't know how I became alive again," he replied simply. Now Mika was confused.
'Did...did someone bring Toshi back to life? But why?' she thought. While Mika was in deep thought, she still hadn't realized that this wasn't Toshi's scent. In fact it wasn't Toshi at all.
Once again, Toshi hugged her and this time wouldn't let go. "Let us talk about this another time...." Mika nodded dumbly and was still in deep thought. "Toshi" smirked, and from his sleeve, he took at a shining dagger.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Because of Miroku's chanting, it seemed to affect all of their bindings. Everyone eventually was free from their original state. Kagome was crying.
'Naraku.....He already took my family away...Now he takes two more important people in my life...' Kagome thought sadly. All of a sudden, she had a sudden urge of rage. Kuwabara noticed that there was an increase in her spirit power.
'Woah....I never knew Kagome was that strong' Kuwabara thought. Unexpectedly, she took an arrow from her back and aimed at Ojike. Hate was written all over her face. She screamed, "Die!" as she shot her arrow, and it...missed.
'Wait a minute, where was Ojike? He was just hear a second a-' Kagome couldn't finish her thought when Inu-Yasha all of a sudden screamed "Mika!" He then ran towards Inu-Yasha's forest. Kagome stood there confused, when Kurama grabbed her by the wrist and dragged her along with the rest of them, who were following Inu-Yasha.
"Kurama! What's going on?" Kagome managed to get out as she tried catching up with the kistune.
"It's the scent of Mika's blood. I can smell it. Inu-Yasha must've smelt it, too," he replied calmly. While he said this, Kagome didn't expect what she saw.
'Huh? What's this? He...He has a look of worry on his face...' Kagome thought. She pushed it aside as they entered the forest.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mika was holding her stomach now, trying to suck in what just happened. While they were embracing, Toshi's scent seemed to differ. Before she could question him, he had stabbed her in the stomach with a dagger covered in powdered poison. She knew what this meant, but she didn't want to believe it. No matter what though, as she kept dodging his next attack, her conscience kept saying the same thing over and over.
'He doesn't love you. Who could love a half-demon? Sakura meant nothing to him...' As these thoughts replayed in her mind once more, she still hadn't noticed that Ojike was watching nearby.
'Heh...This girl's fear is quite strong. If I can keep this up, her fear would be a VERY big feast to me compared to those other weak ones' Ojike thought to himself. Instantly, he heard a voice.
"Mika!!!"
'Inu-Yasha' he thought bitterly.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
When Inu-Yasha got there, he saw Mika holding her bloody stomach, and in front of her, a samurai with a bloody dagger. Not only did he smell blood, but poison.
"Mika!!!" he screamed.
"B-big brother..." Mika somehow got out. When she tried to stand, Toshi struck again, and he managed to cut her on the cheek. Inu-Yasha was angry. Not only did he have to put up with that bastard Ojike, but now this punk. He didn't have time for weak humans like him.
"Get away from her!" Inu-Yasha yelled as he was about to pounce on Toshi. When Toshi looked his way, Inu-Yasha got a good look of his eyes. He seemed possessed. While he was in midair, Mika ran right between them and held out her arms from her sides.
"Stop!" she cried. By that time, the others finally made it and were watching the scene unfold. At that instant, Inu-Yasha back-flipped away. "Please! Don't hurt him big brother!" Mika yelled as much as she could.
"Mika! What are you saying!? That bastard just stabbed you!" he shouted back.
"Please just listen! Inu-Yasha! This is Toshi!" When Inu-Yasha heard Toshi, he couldn't believe what she had just said. Toshi? Mika's husband Toshi? The one he never met. He was absolutely shocked, while everyone else just stood there staring at them. There was something wrong though. Doesn't she smell that? Toshi is just like Kikyo. He's dead! Nothing but a clay body. It didn't seem like Mika even noticed his eyes either.
All of a sudden, Toshi grabbed behind her and put the dagger next to her neck. Everyone gasped as he held Mika's wrists together behind her back.
"Well done Toshi," Ojike replied as he got out from behind the tree. Instantly, Hiei disappeared, and reappeared behind Ojike. When he was about to cut him, Toshi appeared in front of Ojike with Mika, so Hiei disappeared again and reappeared with the group.
'Damn,' he thought. Mika was breathing really hard and started to notice that the poison was taking over. She felt dizzy and light-headed. Toshi only held the dagger closer to her neck. Inu-Yasha didn't know what to do. He couldn't kill Toshi, that's for sure. He HAD to kill the source. He took out Tessaiga, and turned it into Red Tessaiga.
"Woah! Is that Tessaiga?!" Yusuke asked. He had never seen such a huge sword. Inu-Yasha only smirked. He ran towards Ojike, and brought down his sword. Toshi parried the attack using the dagger, and in the process, accidentally dropped Mika. Before she even hit the ground, Hiei quickly got her, and brought her back to the group. He laid her gently on the ground, when Kagome came up and check her pulse.
'Good...she has a faint pulse' thought Kagome. She watched as Inu- Yasha and Toshi were fighting each other. Finally, Inu-Yasha got a punch in and Toshi slammed against a tree. Just enough to knock him unconscious. Ojike got worried, and the same weird cloud that Naraku's incarnations had came up behind him.
"I'll be back, Inu-Yasha. This is FAR from over. Be aware of that." He grabbed the unconscious Toshi, and ascended into the cloud.
Inu-Yasha was pissed. 'Naraku. You bastard.' He had a worried look as he turned around to look at me. Kurama and Kagome were trying to find a way to stop the poison but no avail. He was panicking, afraid that Mika was going to die along with Sango and Miroku. Her skin was icy cold, and her breath came shorter by the second.
While Kurama was about to put a crushed herb into Mika's mouth, a little bug came out and started to suck on her face. The more he sucked, the bigger he got. Everyone was then surprised to eventually see a giant flea as big as her head.
"Oh...my stomach..." the flea demon complained, and rolled away.
"Nice to see you, too, Myouga-jiji (grandpa)," Inu-Yasha replied as Myouga rolled away. Mika's eyelid's fluttered and she snapped awake. She paid no attention to the others and she abruptly got up and started to breath heavily.
"To-" Mika tried to scream, but she felt a stab of pain still in her stomach, and went on her knees and held her stomach. They approached her worriedly, but she just brushed them off. "Where's Toshi?!" she demanded.
"Ojike got away with them. Mika please calm d-" Kagome started, but was interrupted by Mika.
"No! I never got an answer from him! I have to know! Why is he acting this way!"
'She really doesn't realize that he's dead,' Inu-Yasha thought. Mika started to cry into Mika's shoulders, as they just gathered around her. Silent.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Mika was on the straw bed in Kurama's hut. Reflecting on what just happened. She was staring at the ceiling, as everyone were outside, discussing what to do next. What she didn't understand, was why Toshi had attacked her.
'My husband... Why? Is Ojike right? A half-demon was never meant to be happy? But what about our daughter? Who I shortly gave birth after when you left for the war? Was she nothing?' She didn't want to believe, no. She WASN'T going to believe that Toshi hated her.
Another thought then entered her head. She had to explain to the group who Toshi WAS. She also thought that she owed them an apology. Pushing them away like that when they were really worried about her. She got out of bed, and put on her slippers. She felt much better now that her wounds were treated, so she left the hut. When she got outside, she saw the others gathered around a fire. When she approached them, all of their eyes were now turned to her.
"I guess, I owe all of you an apology for being so rude to you all," she said. They nodded and casually accepted their apology. "But also, I think you need to know. Who that man really is."
