Chapter 5
The rain beat down hard on Yashana and the others as they made their way to Ah and Un. Rin and Jaken were already ahead of them and waiting with the two-headed dragon. Yashana looked back at the way they had came; hoping to see Kouga coming after her saying how he loved her so much and wanted her to stay. But there was no one there.
"Yashana, hurry up," called Sesshomaru as he picked up Rin.
"Yes, sir," Yashana said as she jumped onto the dragon's back.
Her and Rin sat on the dragon's back while Sesshomaru and Jaken stood. Yashana closed her eyes and buried her head in the fur that Kouga had given her. It was so warm that she thought that for a moment it was like having him hold her. She opened her eyes and found tears rolling down her cheeks. Rin noticed Yashana's tears and sat next to her. Yashana leaned against her and watched the clouds as they flew by them.
It wasn't long before they were landing in a valley far from the rain in the mountains where the Wolf Demon tribe lived. Ah and Un disappeared leaving them to walk on foot. It must have been two hours before they came upon a village. The village was full of activity as they entered. The market place was buzzing with chatter and a few feet away was a group of young ladies who were gathering around something.
Yashana and Rin decided to check it out while Sesshomaru and Jaken disappeared deeper into the village. The young group of women were gathered around a young man who was reading their palms. When Yashana was able to see the young man's face, she noticed that it was the young monk who had startled her the other day. It was Miroku. It looked like every young woman in the village had gathered around the young monk just to hear their fortunes, but the older woman stayed away.
"I'm going to get my fortune told," Rin said. "Come with me please, Yashana."
"I don't think so," Yashana said. "I already know my fortune."
"Just come with me," Rin said. "I don't want to go up there by myself."
Yashana looked around. "Oh okay," she said as she followed Rin.
"Next," said Miroku.
Rin stepped up with Yashana at her side.
"Why hello ladies," Miroku said.
"Hello," said Rin as Miroku took her hand.
"Oh my," Miroku said looking at her palm. "Very soon you're going to meet someone who will make you very happy."
"Oh yeah," said Rin. "I'm so happy."
"Would you like me to read your palm too, Ash," Miroku said.
"No thank you," Yashana said. "Come on, Rin. We have to go before Sesshomaru starts looking for us."
"What are you doing with Sesshomaru?" asked Miroku as they walked off.
"That is none of your business," Yashana said as they disappeared into the crowd.
Better tell the others. Thought Miroku as he went towards the forest.
"Rin, you go find Sesshomaru," Yashana said. "I'm going to go walk in the forest for a while."
"Okay," Rin said.
Yashana ran up to the forest and smiled. She quickly removed the fur from her shoulders that Kouga gave her, folded it, and placed it inside of her bag. It was nice to be back in the forest again. The cool air played with her hair and tickled her face. She jumped into a tree and sat on a branch.
"To bad Hegana isn't here to enjoy this with me," she thought out loud as she sat there.
There was yelling coming from deeper inside of the forest. Yashana followed the yelling until she found its source. There standing in a clearing was Miroku, a young fox demon, and a young lady with very long black hair dressed in a purple kimono with a green apron. The young lady was yelling at Miroku and the little fox demon looked scared.
"I'm sorry, Sango," said Miroku. "I didn't mean to walk in on you."
"Well you better have not been peeping on me, Miroku or else," said Sango. "Why are you looking for Inuyasha anyway?"
"I need to talk to him about something very important," Miroku said.
"Inuyasha's with Kagome at the well," said the fox demon.
"Are you sure, Shippo?" asked Miroku.
"Yes," said Shippo. "Kagome's going home for a few things, but she'll be back in a couple hours."
Kagome is the name of the woman that Kouga use to be in love with. Thought Yashana. Should I talk to these people or wait until I've seen this Inuyasha character and Kagome? I'm going to wait.
Suddenly, the branch below her gave way and Yashana fell to the ground. The sound of the branch breaking caught Miroku, Sango, and Shippo's attention. They hurried over to where the branch broke and found Yashana lying there on the ground rubbing her hip.
"Ash?" said Miroku. "What are you doing here?"
"Mind your own business monk," Yashana spat standing up. "What are you two looking at?"
"Nothing," said Shippo, "it's just that you look like someone we know. Actually two people we know."
"I doubt that," Yashana said walking off.
"What in the world were you two yelling about this time?" said a high pitched voice.
"Miroku walked in on Sango while she was changing, Inuyasha," said Shippo.
Yashana turned around and looked at this Inuyasha person. He had long white hair, dog-ears, golden eyes, and the same red MC Hammer pants as her. Inuyasha noticed Yashana watching him and frowned. But as he studied her, his frown turned into a shocked face.
"What?" asked Yashana sharply. "Weren't you ever taught that it's not nice to stare at ladies?"
"What's your name?" asked Inuyasha.
"The name's Ash," Yashana said folding her arms. "You must be a dog demon."
"You must be a dog demon too, but you smell like wolf," Inuyasha said.
"Huh. That's because my lover is a wolf and I am a dog demon," she said.
"That's stupid," Inuyasha said. "Dog demons and wolf demons are not suppose to be together."
"Why just because you hate wolf demons?" she said. "Well I doubt that the leader of the Wolf Demon tribe would say the same thing."
"That's correct, my dear," said a deep voice.
Yashana turned around and found Kouga standing behind her. "Kouga," she said running to him.
"Hello my love," Kouga said. "Are you insulting our love, Inuyasha?"
"Yeah," Inuyasha said. "I thought you were in love with Kagome?"
"I was, but after I heard you two were married I gave up on her and began to search for a woman who would love me," Kouga said. "And as you can see I have. So where is Kagome anyway?"
"She went home for a little while," Inuyasha said. "Why did you hook up with a dog demon anyway, Kouga?"
"Because this young lady is a jewel that should be treasured, and I intend to do just that," Kouga said. "Come my dear, this mutt does not deserve another moment of our attention."
"Why you filthy fleabag!" yelled Inuyasha. "I'll cut you up so bad that your lover here won't want you anymore."
"Your on mutt," Kouga said.
"Oh great," said Sango.
"Kouga, please don't fight him," Yashana pleaded.
"I have to teach this flea ridden mutt that I am good enough for your love," Kouga said. "I promise to come back."
"If anything happens to you I'll be heart broken," Yashana said burying her face in his chest.
"My love, I promise to come back alive," Kouga said making her look at him. "Mates forever."
"Mates forever," Yashana said as he kissed her forehead.
Kouga left Yashana's side and walked towards Inuyasha. The two of them fought and fought for what seemed like hours. Out of the forest behind Miroku, Sango, and Shippo appeared a young lady dressed in a short light brown skirt with a white t-shirt and tennis shoes. Her waist long black hair billowed in the playful wind as she looked around at everyone. She finally noticed with whom Inuyasha was fighting and started to get mad.
"Inuyasha," she yelled. "Stop fighting right now!"
"Kagome," said Shippo running to the young lady.
"Hey, Shippo," Kagome said as Shippo jumped onto her shoulder. "Why is Inuyasha fighting Kouga? Why is Kouga even here?"
"The young girl over there is why," Shippo said pointing to Yashana who was sitting on the ground. "She's Kouga's mate."
"Inuyasha insulted their relationship," informed Miroku.
"Kouga's lady friend tried to talk him out of it but he said he had to," Sango said. "She looks so familiar too."
"Yes she does," Kagome said handing Shippo to Miroku.
Kagome walked over to Yashana with Sango. Yashana was concentrating so hard on the fight that she jumped when Kagome sat down next to her.
"Hi," Kagome said. "My name's Kagome."
Yashana just looked at her with narrow eyes.
"What's your name?" asked Sango, sitting next to Kagome.
"The name's Ash," Yashana said opening her eyes more. "So you're the one who broke Kouga's heart."
"Broke Kouga's heart? I don't know what he told you, but he knew I was with Inuyasha when he declared me his woman," said Kagome.
"Makes no difference," Yashana said.
"How old are you, Ash?" asked Kagome.
"Sixteen," Yashana said.
Kagome and Sango's eyes opened wide and their mouths opened. Yashana began laughing. Suddenly, there was a yell of pain from one of the fighters. They all looked at the fighters and lying on the ground was Kouga holding his arm.
"Kouga," cried Yashana as she ran to him.
Inuyasha watched as Yashana held Kouga in her arms. "You promised not get hurt," Yashana said as she opened her bag. "You promised, Kouga."
"Leave him alone and let me finish him off," Inuyasha said.
Yashana wrapped Kouga's arm with bandages and held him close to her. "He's in no condition to fight," Yashana said. "Especially against you."
"Then it shall be easier for me to kill him," Inuyasha said.
"You'll have to kill me before you can kill Kouga," Yashana yelled.
"I don't want to hurt you, girl, so just say your good-byes and step aside," Inuyasha said.
Yashana laid Kouga on the ground and stood up. "You'll have to fight me first," she said.
"No way," Inuyasha said.
"Have it your way," Yashana said.
Inuyasha stood there wondering what she was talking about when Yashana attacked him suddenly. Her speed was amazing and she managed to get a punch in before having to dodge Inuyasha's fist. Yashana landed on her feet and crouched close to the ground. He tried to hit her but she was too fast for him catch with him carrying his Tetseiga. Inuyasha left his sword with Kagome and resumed to fight Yashana.
"Your good, kid," Inuyasha said as he dodged a kick. "But not good enough."
Yashana received a full blow kick from him that sent her flying backwards. She grabbed her dagger and teased Inuyasha. He immediately recognized the colors on the handle of the dagger. But before he could say anything, a bolt of lightning struck in between him and Yashana.
Yashana stumbled backwards and fell to the ground. In the sky was the two-headed dragon carrying Rin, Jaken, and Sesshomaru. Kouga stood up and grabbed Yashana as they jumped onto the dragon. They flew high into the sky as they headed to a new location.
"Damn it," Inuyasha cried. "He got away again."
"That girl looked so familiar," said Kagome. "I wonder if it's possible that our daughter survived so many years ago."
"I don't know, but that girl seriously has a bad choice in guys," said Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha, sit!" commanded Kagome.
Crash. Inuyasha fell to the ground. "What did I say?" said Inuyasha. "It's true."
The rain beat down hard on Yashana and the others as they made their way to Ah and Un. Rin and Jaken were already ahead of them and waiting with the two-headed dragon. Yashana looked back at the way they had came; hoping to see Kouga coming after her saying how he loved her so much and wanted her to stay. But there was no one there.
