Forgotten Past: Chapter 2
6 years later...
The sun had risen; the rays of light gleaming on Yuri's face as she slowly woke up from her dreamless sleep. She glanced to her side where Inuyasha was sleeping peacefully. Yuri walked out side to take in some of the morning air. She could see Sesshoumaru in the distance; his strong figure obviously keeping watch.
"It's been six years since then... Nothing has happened since... Is the war over? If it was, where is Inutaishou? He's been gone for four months... Is he ok? Ha ha! What am I doing... thinking of such things?"
"Mother?" Inuyasha walked up behind her, wiping the sleep away from his eyes, "Why are you out here alone?"
"No reason," Yuri replied with a sweet tone.
"Are we going to the river today?"
"Would you like to?"
"Yeah! ^_^"
"Very well. Let's go."
Yuri then took Inuyasha's hand and led him into the forest where she had been wounded six years before. **************
When they had arrived to the river, Inuyasha quickly jumped in and watched some fish swim frantically underneath him. He stood there for a moment, then tried his best to catch a fish. However, he had no luck. Yuri could tell that Inuyasha was getting frustrated as he continued to miss each fish. She walked into the river and within seconds, caught a fish without effort. Inuyasha stared at her with amusement.
"WO! How did you do that?"
"It takes a lot of practice. Want me to teach you?"
"Yeah!"
Yuri gently cupped Inuyasha's hands and guided him to catch one. Finally, success. Inuyasha sat there, laughing playfully as he kept catching more and more fish. Yuri then let him try it on his own. As she watched him with a smile, she heard a rustle from a nearby bush. She could nearly make out a familiar figure watching them... so familiar, it didn't set well with her.
"Inuyasha, we must go, NOW."
Yuri grabbed Inuyasha and pulled him to the palace. As the ran, Inuyasha could see Sesshoumaru fighting off demons in the distance.
"Is that what mother is running from?" Inuyasha thought to himself. ****************
"YURI!" Sesshoumaru yelled to catch her attention.
"Sesshoumaru! What is going on!?!"
"The Oni clan is attacking."
"But there hasn't been an attack for six years! Why now!?!"
"I don't know. Just take Inuyasha inside and keep the door closed!"
"But—"
"Just go!"
Yuri hesitated for a moment. Then she slightly nodded her head, running into the palace with Inuyasha. She ran into a room and slammed the door closed. She rushed to a corner and kneeled down with Inuyasha clutched in her arms.
"Oh Kami... not again... NOT AGAIN!"
The door then slammed open. Yuri jerked her head to see who was there, but no one was in sight. When she turned around, a demon stood in front of her. He was tall with long wavy black hair, narrow eyes, a horn was sticking out of the right side of his forehead, and blue markings on the same side of his face. Yuri sat there, unable to move.
"Heh heh heh. THIS time, you won't be so lucky." ***************
Inutaishou quickly ran up to Sesshoumaru, killing a few demons on his way.
"Sesshoumaru! Where is Yuri!?!"
"She's inside with Inuyasha."
"Damn it... They aren't safe there!"
"What do you mean?"
"Come on. We must hurry!"
Sesshoumaru followed Inutaishou into the palace to Yuri's room. Inuyasha was lying on the ground, unconscious. However, Yuri was nowhere in sight.
"Damn! We're too late!"
"Who took her?"
"A demon known as Jigoku."
"What does he want with her?"
"It's not her that he wants... it's me."
"What should we do?"
"We must look for her."
"And Inuyasha?"
"We must take him with us. I will not risk the life of my youngest son. Now, let's go. Oh Kami, for all we know, Yuri might already be dead..."
Sesshoumaru lifted Inuyasha and followed Inutaishou to find Yuri... hoping it wasn't too late.
