No, I do not own Inuyasha & co, but I am currently bidding for rights to
Sesshoumaru. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Chapter 10: PURPLE Power?...
~.~.~.~.~.Rin
My hand had hurt more then anything in the world, and Sesshoumaru-sama hadn't come. Where had he been? It was okay now though, I had fallen asleep and everything had gone dark but then I woke-up, and I was okay, and my hand didn't hurt anymore. I was in blood though! I squeaked and shuffled back as I looked around for Sesshoumaru-sama. There he was! I smiled and looked around some more, and there was a girl with black hair who was glowing. It was so pretty, and it felt nice to be by her.
"Woman," began Sesshoumaru-sama as he swung around, drawing...
~.~.~.~.~.Inuyasha
Naraku had Kagome.
Naraku had Kagome.
Naraku had Kagome.
All that I could seem to think was that one simple and yet infinitely important and devastating phrase.
I had let him take her.
I had to get her back.
I opened my eyes and began to sit up slowly, ignoring the shooting pains throughout my body.
All that mattered was that Naraku had Kagome, and it was my fault. I would get her back. I would if it killed me.
I heard something from a few feet away and then there was a scampering sound.
I heard Miroku's and Sango's voices telling me to stay down, that we could go and get her soon, but that I would do her no good if I wasn't strong enough to fight when I get there. Telling me to lie back down, that Sango had a potion almost done that would increase my strength, that I wasn't strong enough to go after her yet.
D*** them for being right.
D*** me for being a hanyou, and not healing as fast as a full demon.
My being a hanyou might cost Kagome her life.
~.~.~.~.~.Kagome
...Tensaiga. Why is that? I mean, he could not exactly kill anything with it. He tore the demon that had been coming for me to bits with his claws and then swept Tensaiga over...
~.~.~.~.~.Naraku
Another of my puppets stepped from the cover of the trees, but this time in a different place.
Kanna stood glaring hatefully at me, blood dripping from her fingers.
Now that was unusual. Most of the time it was Kagura who would give me those looks, but Kanna, never.
What had happened?
"Did you give me a faulty mirror on purpose?" she asked scathingly, gesturing to the empty frame leaning on the base of a nearby tree.
I felt a growl begin to rise in my throat. "It was faulty?"
"Well that's all that I can assume, because it started flashing white and then—" she gestured at a bloodied hand, "—it exploded."
Ohh, the mage who made it would pay, that was for sure, he would pay well.
I gathered my white mantle around me and began for the village, for the shop.
His death would be slow and painful for disrupting my plans.
~.~.~.~.~.Sesshoumaru
...Her. I used the Tensaiga to heal her, yelling for her to protect Rin, knowing that some would get by me and I did not want her to have to go through death yet again. Inuyasha's woman sat up and I could feel her power return in a flood as she sent out an enormous wave, purifying all of the demons within 10 feet of herself except me. I fell to my knees with a small grunt, splashing yet more blood on my outfit, cursing silently.
I had used up too much of my energy healing her after already loosing too much blood, and now I would die. She would not protect me, I had, after all on many occasions tried to kill her and my baka half-brother. I hoped that at least she would protect Rin. She had already gone through enough for several lifetimes, and she was only five.
The child stumbled to my side and clung to my sleeve, looking up at me with soft, scared eyes.
I did not smile, but I could feel my eyes soften as I looked upon my foster daughter, one of the only humans ever to not fear me.
The other approached and I looked up at her.
~.~.~.~.~.Sango
Miroku, I, and even Inuyasha listened carefully as Shippo told us what he had heard and seen.
Oh dear. This was not good.
"Thousands before they are dead, is that what they said exactly?" I asked in an urgent voice.
"Maybe not exactly, but I think it is," he said rather sadly. Then in a more determined voice, he continued. "We have to go and save Kagome. We have to!"
Inuyasha gave him a fury-laden glare that rivaled his half-brother's for coldness. "Do you think that I don't know that kitsune?!" he exploded. "Do you think that I wouldn't already be over there if I could be?"
He turned that icy, furious glare on me and I am sure that I gulped visibly.
"Will that potion that you insist I need give me the strength to get her back?"
I winced at the question. He would not like the answer.
"It will give you the strength you need to travel, but not to fight. If you want to be able to fight too, then you will need at least a half-day of rest before going after her."
He exploded, cursing up a storm.
"What do you mean, a half-day? She could be DEAD by then, and you expect me to be a good little boy and stay here?"
I turned my tear filled eyes to him. "Do you think that I don't know that? She could be dead right now, but if we are split then Naraku will pick us off one by one. We have to stay here for the night."
He responded by swearing at me.
"Don't you remember? If we don't get her back in the next two days, she will be in there for another day."
Then I remembered. In two days it was the night of the new moon. Inuyasha would not be able to fight, or even be near the cave, lest one of the demons smell his change and learn his secret.
It was almost as if Naraku knew, and had planned this so that it would be this way.
I spun around.
"Shippo, how far away is this cave?" I asked urgently.
"Half a day, and that's if we ride Kirrara," he said, shaking his head.
Wonderful. That gave us only one day to rescue Kagome, before we had to leave.
I sighed. Things just kept on getting more complicated.
~.~.~.~.~.Kagome
Gosh, his eyes were still as arrogant as ever. But still, he had healed me. And apparently it had cost the last of his strength, as he had fallen to his knees right after, using the sword that was still in his only hand to support him and keep him from falling completely into the pool he was kneeling in.
He had asked me to protect "Rin," who I am assuming is the little girl who is now babbling on in a deluded sort of way about how Sesshoumaru-sama (her words, not mine) can't be hurt, that he is the strongest and the best.
I did not know what to do! I mean, I still didn't want him to die, now more then ever because he had just healed me and Rin, so he had to have a heart, right?
Jee, one would never know with that shell of ice that he keeps it under.
The problem is that the only medical supply that I have on me is my power, and that I cannot use because it would purify him!
Oh this is confusing.
I decided to go for it, but if he seemed to weaken when my power got near him, I would back off and maybe use my spare uniform for bandages. The only problem with that plan is I am not sure that there would be enough fabric, because he has A LOT of wounds.
It's times like these that I wish we had longer skirts.
Slowly I concentrated and a deep, deep violet light—so dark that it was all but black—began to wash over my hands.
WHAT ON EARTH WAS GOING ON?!?!?!?!?!?! MY POWER WAS WHITE!, NOT PURPLE!!!!!!
Maybe, though, maybe it could help were my purifying energy could not.
I put my indigo hands on his chest and then waited experimentally. His demon aura didn't seem to be getting weaker, if anything, it was stronger, and so I let my power flow into him, praying that I would not be the one to kill my healer.

] heh heh heh. Evil of me to leave you hanging like that, I know.
I promise that I will explain the whole purple-power, white-power soon, but for now I want 5 reviews before the next chapter. At two, you guys are just reviewing faster then I can write.
Reviewer Responses: (O_O ooooooooo.... Me got lot of reviews this time)
Sayori-chan- ^__~ thanx for reviewing, and thanx for the complement!!!!!!! I'm glad that you liked my descriptions!!
Angel- I am glad that you liked it. How was this chapter?
hyper person- Yea, I know what you're saying. I mean, if Kagome had traveled with Inuyasha for so long, then one would think that she would be able to take care of herself too...
blue fox demon- Ok, I did. Now you just need to get the next chapter. ] MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!
butterflygirl013- HOLY COW!!!!!! You did review a lot, didn't you? Five times... well, here you are... I'm sorry about this chappies short povs, but I had to in order to get the effect that I wanted... Oh, and this is going to be a rather long fic. Sorry all you short-fic lovers!!!
shadownekko- Ya know, the funny thing is that everyone thinks that Sess is in character. I honestly thought that I made him too soft, but here all of you are saying how well I wrote all of them. Oh well...
inu_luvver10- Well, you got your next chapter. Now if only you had chapter 11... *evil grin*
Ami- What are you talking about for some weird reason you like the pairing? In my opinion, anyone who doesn't is mad. If you do like the pairing so much, you might want to check out the Death of the Moon, Once in a Blue Moon (the sequel to dotm), and Everything's changed. These (in my humble opinion) are some of the shining examples of good Kag/Sess fanfiction out there.
Sukera- Well, I updated (duh), and it was as fast as I could...
