This is one of the two chapters I promised to put out before I leave. I couldn't put out three because it would take longer and I still have to pack my stuff for when I leave and then I have to go to a birthday party before I leave. It might take me at least another two or three more days before I have the next chapter out. So I hope this will hold you guys until I get it considering this is longer then the last one. I do not own Inu-Yasha.
Summary-Usagi is signed up with Rei for an exchange student program while her parents go on a honeymoon and Shingo stays at a friend's house. While staying at the Higure Shrine they befriend Kagome and her family. One day while staying at the shrine Usagi, Kagome, and Rei are pulled into the BoneEater's Well and are transported into Japan medieval times.
Yasha? Chapter 13
"I refuse to go through with you plan Sesshomaru and kill Kagome too." Rei stated as she brushed her hair. " I agreed to get you the Tetsusaiga and kill Inu-Yasha but I did not agree to kill Kagome and I will not either."
"This is not a request this is an order, " Sesshomaru retorted as if he couldn't care less what Rei refused to do. " As I recall as long as you are my presents you are to do what I say."
Rei sat her brush down and looked at Sesshomaru. " And when did I agree to this. As I recall it was don't mention the fact that Inu-Yasha kicked your sorry demon ass and get the sword that your father left for him." Rei stated bluntly trying to see if she could push Sesshomaru's buttons today. So far it was working pretty well his left eye seemed to have a glint to it every time she spoke or he looked at her.
Jaken then appeared next to Sesshomaru breathing in all the air his little imp lungs could possibly hold. " Lord Sesshomaru I have that Inu-Yasha and that human girl Kagome he is with are heading back to that village that they were at a few weeks earlier. Do wish for me to keep a close eye on them or shall I stay here with you?"
Sesshomaru turned his attention to his underling. " We shall intercept them before they reach the village. Before we do though must visit a craftsman to see about making me a sword."
"It would be better to intercept them before they reached the village. If they are at least a day or two away from the village then they won't be able to receive help from Lady Kaede-san. Because if what she says is true about Kagome being the reincarnation of Kikyo then she is more then likely to pick up her powers too and Lady Kaede-san will try help her to figure out how to harness and use them against us." Rei pointed out as she started making and playing with flames.
" I did hear that the priestess that was guarding the Shikon no Tama fifty years ago did posses great spiritual powers." Sesshomaru seemed to think back to fifty years ago. " We shall leave now and intercept them and take Tetsusaiga from that worthless half-breed."
" Now you're talking my kind of talk." Rei said eagerly as she tossed a flame at a tree and watched as it began to burn and smoke. " Finally revenge." Clouds began to form over head as the sun started to set as Rei stared at the flames as they burned the tree.
I feel something is a mist. The flames follow in four different directions but two are interlocked with one another as if they were joining something.
Rei turned her attention toward Sesshomaru as she received an image flash before her eyes. The energies and vibes that the image gave off disturbed Rei. It was if the image was a possibility of the future.
No it was the future but I specifically felt the energies for four different women. One must be Kagome and another me but who are the other two and what did that scythe symbolize?
Rei then turned toward Sesshomaru. " We should be alert and be prepared to engage in battle at all times. I get this uneasy feeling that something is going to happen that will change things that will involve our future."
Sesshomaru and Jaken stared at Rei as she stared off into the distant toward where Inu-Yasha and Kagome. And to possibly where their changes of destinies were.
"What do you mean a change in our futures?" Jaken's somewhat high pitch squeaky voice spoke up.
"I don't know. For better or for worse, all we can is that it is for the better." Rei mumbled as she stared at the raising moon.
A being with long white hair is flying above a field, in a kimono. A long scythe, dripping blood hung over its back and a black box held in its hands. With one look down at Kagome and Inu-Yasha it continue to fly away.
Inuyasha stopped and looked up just as the being flu by. Kagome, who was walking behind the half dog demon, looked up in surprise as she too saw the being.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome gaped as it disappeared. "It's a... Demon..."
I can smell the fresh blood that coats that scythe.
Inu-Yasha sniffs the air and turns toward Kagome. "Get on my back."
"But..." Kagome asked confused Inu-Yasha by sudden change in behavior.
The smell of this blood is...
Not waiting for Kagome to climb on to his back Inu-Yasha grabbed her and tossed her over his shoulder.
I hope its not who I think it is.
Kicking and screaming Kagome yelled for Inu-Yasha to put her down. Knowing that Inu-Yasha was paying no mind to her Kagome began to relax just as blood dripped on to her hand.
Wait a minute this blood! This must be what cause Inu-Yasha sudden change.
Kagome looked at her hand in shock and soon worry replaced the shock.
I hope this isn't anyone's from the village. I hope they're all ok.
Not waiting for Inu-Yasha to come to a stop Kagome jumped out of Inu-Yasha grasp and rushed to the village that had come within her sight as she looked over her shoulder. "Where's Lady Kaede? Is everyone ok? Who or what attacked this village?" Not even bothering to wait for an answer Kagome ran off to find the Lady of the village.
Inu-Yasha just stared as he saw several men that were injured.
All the injuries to these men seemed just to be like a slice someone would make with a knife.
"Inu-Yasha we must go now. Urasue desecrated my elder sister's Kikyo gravesite and stole her remains. And I have a great feeling that the ogress sorceress is up to no good with my sister's remains in her clutch." Kaede exclaimed as she appeared out of nowhere holding her shoulder. A village woman and Kagome tired to hold Kaede back.
"Kaede-sama! You shouldn't be moving around, not after thoughs wound you received not too long ago." The young woman tired to reason with her elder.
"They are not major or serious wounds not let me go Kagome, Nakki."
" I don't care if they are serious or not I want you back in you hut and in your bed." Kagome argued as she tired to push Kaede back toward her hut.
"I see that you are still alive old hag. I thought you were finished off. I guess stubbornness runs in the family." Inu-Yasha joked, which his way of saying that he was glad that she was ok.
"Kaede you should at least rest for tonight before you go running off trying to go after a demoness." Nakki stated as she put her hands on her hips and stood firmly in front of Kaede blocking her from Inu-Yasha.
Kagome held on to Kaede's unjuried shoulder and arm. "I agree you should rest at least a night so that the wounds have time to try to close up."
"Fine then I shall rest for rest of tonight and until tomorrow's evening but after that I shall be leaving to tracking down Urasue." Kaede turned around and began to head for her hut. Stopping she turned around. " But first I want to show you and Inu-Yasha something first before I retire. Follow me please." Nakki, Kagome, and Inu-Yasha followed Kaede to the far back part of the village where there was a small hill.
The group climbed steps leading up the small hill to a shrine. " I see... You got the smell of my blood from Urasue."
Inuyasha shook his head as the two girls helped Kaede. "Jeez old hag, you keep getting one set of injuries to on top of another."
Kagome looked surprised as she looked down. "So you were worried about this."
"I wasn't able to protect it with my power." Kaede commented sadly.
Nakki, Inu-Yasha, and Kagome and Kaede are standing in front of a large, round crater, which has several slice marks in it. "This is...? "
It's a small shrine gravesite... It's been violated...
"This is... Kikyou-onsee-sama's grave." Kaede stated.
"What did you just say old hag?" Inu-Yasha asked surprised and angered.
"This is or shall I say was her resting place until that damned ogress came and took her remains." Nakki explained as Kaede looked as if she was thinking about something.
"Let's go back to the village now." Kaede spoke up. "We have a long journey a head of us." The group the proceed to head back to the village before Inu-Yasha had one last looked at Kikyo's bury place.
That is suppose to be where Kikyo's final resting-place is. I shall kill that damn demon for what she has did here.
Urasue looked on with glee as pulled out something that looked like a clay body and placed a leaf on it. " Finally I'll be able to collect all the Shikon no Tama fragment for myself." Taking her scythe she hit the head of the clay. " Awaken Lady Kikyo! Awaken and do my bidding, as I am your mistress, your mother, and your creator." A nude woman stood up as her long limp black her fell and covered certain parts of her feminine body. " Walk around Kikyo, walk and get use to your new body made of clay, your remains and dirt from you gravesite." Doing as she was ordered she tired to walk around. Starting out wobbling at first Kikyo fell to the ground as if she was lifeless and her soul had been sucked from her body. " What is wrong with you?" Urasue picked Kikyo up and looked at her. Throwing her down Urasue kicked her. " You're no good. You don't have a soul. It must have been reborn already. So I guess the rumors are true then. I wonder which one of those girls I saw earlier has your soul." Trying to take the leaf from Kikyo, Kikyo clung onto it. " Let it go." With a kick to the side Urasue took it and left. Leaving Kikyo alone and naked.
" Where is Rei, Jaken?" Sesshomaru demanded as he brought out his claws in a threating manner.
"I don't know my lord. We were attack by some old ogress and she was taken." Jaken hurriedly explained hoping that he would live to see another century.
"Where is Kagome, Kaede?" Inu-Yasha asked as her reappeared on the cliff that he was knocked off of because of Urasue's clay soldiers.
"She isn't with ye? This is not good. Urasue has Kagome. Come Inu-Yasha, we must go quickly to Urasue's lair." Kaede ushered as she climbed onto Inu-Yasha's back.
As Kaede and Inu-Yasha arrived at Urasue's lair they were shocked at the sight before them.
