*Author Notes: Not really much to say. But I have too anyway, so I'll rant. I've been reading internet comics all over the place, and only two have really stood out to me. The first one is Megatokyo, by Fred Gallanger. It shows two common American teenage boys stuck in Tokyo, but this does no explain the hilarity of it. Through a hunk of zombies to games, it's a hilarious. I cant even find the words to explain it. See it at www.megatokyo.com .
The second one is Poison Wind, and I don't know the author. It's a very well drawn online manga. It has both plot and action, well developed characters, and even chapter segments. I highly recommend it. See it at www.poisonwind.com.
Anyway, on wid da rant. This fanfic, The Legend of Six, I know is not all that popular. I see other stories that have been out for a day with more reviews than me. Maybe it's because I have too many characters from too many animes. Maybe I'm not adding enough romance. No matter what the reason is, I wont stop writing. Heck, it just makes me feel good.*
Chapter 11:
Light Aura, Dark Hair
The boat drifted briskly down the wide stream carrying its few passengers. Its old wooden boards securely held the craft together, despite its looks and construction. The blond haired young man on the back steered the boat down the small river, what little steering was necessary, as the stream guided them swiftly along the path. His huge sword was stowed securely under the wooden boards that served as seats. A young man with red hair sat in the middle, his left arm in a sling, but his face was still in a smile. In the front of the boat was an energetic and excited young girl with bright eyes and black hair who was enjoying the ride wholeheartedly. Behind her was a white-blue haired half-demon who was scowling at her excited ness.
"Kagome, don't get so cheery. This ain't no fun trip we're on."
"Oh c'mon, Inuyasha. Cheer up!"
Inuyasha growled.
"Feh. We still haven't found a shikon shard yet. How can I be cheery?!?!?"
She smiled back at him, before the smile turned evil. Next thing Inuyasha knew, he had water being splashed in his face. He covered his face.
"Stop it wench!"
She only splashed harder so he reached down and splashed water back at her. The two of them battled it out for a little while, before a large splash from Kagome hit Kenshin, who joined in. They rocked the boat as they splashed water at each other. Before long, a badly placed hit sent water into Cloud, who was asleep. The three of them stopped as Cloud pulled his sword out from under the benches. A look of fear crossed their faces as he raised the sword and used it as a paddle to splash water.
Soon after, Cloud sat with a smug look on his face. Inuyasha, Kagome, and Kenshin were all soaked by a single splash. Inuyasha was pissed, Kagome was grumpy, and Kenshin was, as ever, smiling. Kagome sighed, and went back to smiling.
The sun sure feels good, she thought to herself. It rained down through the tree's bathing them in a pool of warmth. However, the sun was quickly going down. It shone through the gap in the trees made by the stream. Very soon it would dip behind the trees and disappear.
Inuyasha stared aimlessly at the passing trees. His thoughts wandered. It was going to be night time soon. He couldn't smell any demons, so they should be okay. What day was it? It was…the first day of the new month…!
"Cloud, we'll stop for camp here." He said urgently.
Cloud looked at him questioningly.
"Why here?"
Inuyasha attempted to look carefree.
"Why not. No reason."
Cloud shrugged, and steered the boat to the shore. There was a small grassy clearing there, making good bedding for the night. As soon as the boat hit the shore Inuyasha jumped onto land.
"I'll be back later!"
Kagome yelled.
"Inuyasha! Hey wait Inuyasha!"
She grabbed his big red shirt. He pulled away to dislodge her, but couldn't. Kagome was left with his shirt as he jumped away through the trees.
"Inuyasha…"
***
Inuyasha cursed as he jumped through the trees. Damn her. He had almost been caught. He could already feel the weakness entering his legs, only letting him jump less and less. He finally stopped unknowingly by a small pond. He felt his strength diminish. The sun was gone. He looked over the edge of the pond at himself.
Black Hair.
Human.
This cursed form engulfed him once again. He despised the weakness of it. He sat against a tree, waiting for the sun to rise and his hanyou form to reappear.
***
Kagome laid out her sleeping bag, not because she was going to bed, but because it would be ready when she did. She wore Inuyasha's red shirt, so she would have it to give back to him when he returned. Cloud tended a small fire by the stream edge where they were camping. Kenshin brought back another armful of sticks and sat down by the fire. Kagome tugged her sleeping bag a bit closer to the fire. She pulled the large shirt more snuggly around her, the cold biting at any open skin. Nighttime was hastily approaching. She started to dig through her pack.
"Where did Inuyasha go?"
Kenshin felt a vibe of light, like the candle of a aura had been lit in darkness. It was strange, likesomeone had transformed. Kenshin continued added sticks to the fire, answering Kagome's question.
"I have no idea why he would run off like that. Cloud?"
Cloud shook his head.
"I haven't been around long enough to know, but one thing is certain. He's going to get cold with those soaked clothes of his. He'll be back soon."
Kagome silently agreed, but thoughts tugged her mind. She had a feeling of foreboding, unlike she had ever felt. She shivered, not from the cold, but from the feeling. She dug faster in her pack. Maybe food would take it away.
"Inuyasha…come back…"
***
Inuyasha cursed at the sudden appearance of a person by the pond. He hadn't been there too long. The person was clothed in white, carrying a bow and arrows. At first he thought it was Kagome, and his fear of her seeing him made him climb the tree he was under. Then, he felt that it was not Kagome, even as her weak scent portrayed. The girl knelt by the pond looking at her own reflection. Inuyasha crawled forward on the branch, trying to see what she was doing. His arm slipped. He fell to the ground with a loud grunt. She turned around startled. He got to his knees and looked at her. They met eyes for a few moments. Then, she turned back to the water. He got to his feet. He felt curiously drawn toward her. He slowly crept forward to crouch beside her, looking into the water instead of at her like he had intended all along. She was tying a white necklace delicately. It had white orbs hanging from it. She spoke to him.
"What is your name?"
He answered her.
"My name is I…"
He stopped abruptly. He couldn't tell her his name, not in this form.
"My name is…Raito."
She nodded.
"Of course. Raito."
He questioned her slowly.
"What are you doing?"
She stopped momentarily, as if in thought, and then continued.
"I am making a necklace for my beloved. He doesn't seem to know who I am right now, but he will soon enough."
Huh? What did all that mean? He was confused, but decided to end this conversation.
"Would you try it on for me? Please Raito?"
He reeled back a bit.
"What?"
She turned and looked at him. He had a strange feeling he knew her from somewhere.
"Would you try it on? I need to know if it must be extended. You are just his size."
He nodded slowly.
"Sure."
He had never been nice. Where was all this coming from?
She lifted her hands to put the necklace around his neck, and then she saw his necklace.
"Oh. You already have a necklace. May I ask who it's from?"
She was referring to Kagomes necklace. He stuttered.
"It…it came from…a friend."
She nodded.
"Yes, of course."
She placed the white necklace around his neck. She clapped her hands.
"Aw, just the right size I think."
He stood still for a moment, before a question came to mind.
"What is his name?"
She looked at him passionately.
"Inuyasha."
He reeled back in surprise. What the heck?
She smiled at him knowingly.
"Yes Inuyasha, I have caught you."
That's when Inuyasha finally figured out who she was. The shock of it all started him more than ever. She was the doll, the fake Kagome, she was the one Naraku had used. And the only person who could ever have been Kagome was…
Kikyou.
"Kikyou…how?"
He started to back away.
She smiled from where she sat.
"Inuyasha…you have been a bad boy."
As the word "bad" came out of her mouth, an electrical energy so intense that it could have come from Ramuh himself hit him. He grunted in pain and fell to his knees, where he gasped for air until she stood in front of him, her face a mask of triumph.
"You are mine Inuyasha. Mine, forever."
He fell into unconsciousness.
