Disclaimer: I do own InuYasha... now all I need is the instructions to get him free from the
picture...
Notes: Ak... WHY must ff.net separate like that.. And I hadn't even become aware of it until it
was too late!!!!! Okay.. well, I can't exactly change THAT, so I will say something more of what
I wanted to...
First - I would like to thank ALL of you who have ever reviewed this story, and stayed with me
long enough to read about it... No, this is not the end... but still, I think it would be nice if I
showed my appreciation to all of yous, cuse most of ya show it every time you click that little
blue button all the way at the end of the story...
Another thing - I LOVE SNOW!... but seriously, aside from the fact that it's pretty, and I can
usually sled and ski, we've recently got a big storm so there's like 22 - 36 inches... I mean sure
it's now considered a state of emergency, but hey, school has already been canceled for
tomorrow... I don't even know if we'll have it at all this week with the way it's piled up... so
right now you're probably thinking that it isn't fare, or something like that, but don't worry, I'll
be working on this fic, so there will be plenty of happiness to go around (for us anyway, not
necessarily the characters... n_n') Read on. ~ a Bunny snowed in
~* Over the Edge - Chapter 29: Gone and Back Again - Part 1*~
Sesshomarou held her in his arms, reassuring her that everything would be alright. A shot of pain
rushed though her as the falling moon tried to claim her once more.
Her eyes flashed of blues and greens, wavering in between her human and yokai forms... and in
that moment of pain and power she sensed another being near the castle, one of great power, and
lacking life, but giving off the strong essence of hate and betrayal. She fought the urge to give-in
to her yokai blood, to know more of that which approached, but her mate's arms helped her to
relax, to remain in control in his strong embrace.
The pressing power subsided, and she leaned into his chest, leaning her head on his shoulder. In a
faint voice she spoke, only loud enough for him to barely hear with his advanced hearing.
"Kontooch dem rash tiensha..." (Kill her who approaches...)
At her words, Sesshomarou tensed. He could feel the faint detection of a miko heading toward
the castle. He picked Seiko up, and laid her down on the mound of furs, before bounding from
the room.
When he reached the main chamber on the first floor, two others seemed to be heading toward
them as well. Another miko wench, and undoubtably his half-brother...

Another arrow was shot, but this time InuYasha was ready. He saw it coming and dodged it, but
it wasn't reassuring to see the tree of which it hit instead whither before his eyes.
He watched her figure through the raging storm, ready her bow once more. She was to far away
to stop, but to close to avoid her altogether.
This time when the arrow was shot, he only just avoided it. Things were not looking good...
***
Sesshomarou soon recognized the second miko as his half-brother's bitch, but the other still
puzzled him. Without taking to much time to dwell on the energies, he bounded for the south
wing of the building, to head out in finishing Seiko's desired task.
***
One after the other, InuYasha dodged the arrows, which was becoming a more daunting task. He
kept Kagome well out of the way, but soon there were to many arrows to contend with, and some
were aimed at her.
The arrows suddenly stopped, leaving InuYasha crouched on the ground. His bloody knuckles
dug into the muddy earth as rain poured down upon him. Absent locks of silver hair fell into his
face as he glared to the direction where her figure had stood.
His eyes widened as it was joined by another... Sesshomarou.
***
Not long after he had made his way from the castle, Sessomarou laid his eyes upon the first miko.
She appeared to be very skilled at the bow, and was sending many arrows to the other side of the
castle... at his half-brother and his wench to be more precise.
Her eyes were dark and empty, set upon her hanyou target not noticing him standing before her at
the base of the hill... she would regret that...
But as he neared the miko, something shot past him and the string to her bow seemed to snap. A
stray arrow shot toward him, and it grazed his cheek, the power from it's enchantment feeding
into him like a poison.
He glared at the miko before him, now practically defenseless and backing away from him
slowly. She would have to finish off InuYasha another time... '...soon enough...'
With that, Kikyou fled up the hill, disappearing into the storm, and holding Sesshomarou back
with what power she had left after using much of it on the many arrows.
'...soon enough...'
***
Once she was gone, and the restraint had worn off, Sesshomarou noticed something shimmering
in the moist earth of the hill. He walked over to it casually, kneeling down by it.
There, in all it's beauty, was a well kept dagger, one of the many he'd come to know well... it
was one of Seiko's with a sharp edge and an engraved handle.
He picked up the sharp item which had no doubt been the force to snap the string of the miko's
bow, and held it tightly in his hand. He stood, looking up at his castle to see her figure watching
him from the balcony of the second floor.
She would be leaving him soon... but could he let go...
***
After Kikyou disappeared into the storm, InuYasha heaved Kagome onto his back and rushed
back toward the hut. This was no time to hunt for shards... especially with Kikyou around, and he
couldn't take that chance.
Kagome leaned her head on his shoulder as the rain poured down upon them and the wind went
through her hair... was it just her, or did the shard seem to come from within the castle.... but it
had also seemed to disappear...
Ak, I'm evil... I wanted to make this section one chapter... but it seems that you'll have to wait
for the other half... and THIS was getting up late enough, let alone leaving me to try and elongate
the chapter..... I hadn't realized it would be this long to begin with...
Anyhoo, I only got 3 reviews last time... (though that could've been because of FictionPress.net)
so I've decided to lower it to 7... ONLY 7 and the next chappy is up sooner... come on!
Also.. With the recent development of my even MORE complicated plot... I'm considering
getting a beta reader... Now I haven't decided yet, but if anyone is interested just let me know...
Cus I could really use some help in keeping certain details straight... *shrugs*
Pleases R&R... I GOT A SNOW DAY!!!!!! YAY!
