Disclaimer: Only one of the estimated 6,301,999,470 people living on this earth owns
InuYasha... what do you think the odds are that, that ONE person, is me... not much hun...
Notes: Er...I really didn't like ending the other chapter that way, but seriously, it would've been
way to long if I combined it with this one just to make it one chapter, in fact, I think this one is
going to be longer than usual *shrugs* but I will NOT have it be three parts long... NO!.... Well
please R&R... also, Gomen time 1000 for the delay, the forces were beyond my control. Read on.
Also, there is a big IMPORTANT message at the end of the chapter... so please be sure to read it.
~* Over the Edge - Chapter 30: Gone and Back Again: Part 2*~
Sesshomarou walked with her along the muddy path from the castle that led to a clearing of fresh
ash from the miko's attack. The rain poured down upon them, Seiko avoiding the droplets with a
hooded cloak and her new haori underneath.
She stopped, turning to him, and placed a gentle kiss on his lips. He brought a hand to her waist,
trying to pull her closer, but she pulled away and continued down the path, following the scent
the hanyou had left behind.
Sessomarou stood, watching her disappear into the storm, engulfed by the many trees, and not
turning back to see him. Remembering all of their other encounters, he had been the one to walk
away... but not now... And he didn't know if he could bare to watch...
***
She walked quickly through the trees, engulfed by pouring waters and the muddy path collapsing
over her wrapped feet. Seiko felt as though she could hardly move, the many layers soaked from
the storm weighing her down, though she wasn't getting wet.
She staggered along, tripping on various roots and cursing under her breath. Her foot-wrap
caught on a root as she struggled to move her feet, causing her to splash into the flowing waters
contacting with her skin.
Though her control had returned, the pouring rain was too much for her to bare, and her eyes
began to flash of icy blue, then quickly returned to lucent brown as her senses peaked. A strong
demon was near, and even with her human senses, she could tell it was evil...
***
They were both soaked with the pouring rain as he bounded back toward the hut. Kagome held
the red fabric in her hands as if it were a lifeline, clinging closely to the muscular hanyou before
her.
She sighed, thinking of the shikon shard, but coming up with no answers... and of Kikyou, of
why it was InuYasha fled so quickly after her leave. She opened her mouth to ask him, but then
snapped her jaw shut in knowing it would be a bad idea.
She leaned her head on his shoulder once more, listening to his steady breathing as he ran at a
speed she could never imagine to beat. She watched the dim light of a fire grow closer, witch was
undoubtably coming for Fera-baba's kitchen, meaning they would soon be out of the storm and
able to dry off.
The faint sense lingered with her thoughts that was the mysterious shikon shard, but she didn't
care to think of is right then. They neared the hut more rapidly, and all she wanted to think of was
a warm bath that would await her, and maybe some more time alone with InuYasha...
***
Seiko ripped the wrappings from her feet in frustration, tossing them to the muddy waters. She
angrily removed the extra clothing that seemed to bind her so, concentrating on the water around
her, not wanting to change to her yokai form. Finally, she threw the last article of fabric to the
trees or somewhere far off, letting out a sigh of relief, then continued down the muddy path not
tripping at all.
After a while of following the path, with the waters rushing at her feet, she saw a strange creature
in front of her giving off an evil ora. It was the yokai she had sensed earlier, and a piece of fabric
she had strewn was dangling from its baboon pelt.
She clasped a dagger in her hand, smoothly taking it from her belt. The yokai smirked, heading
toward her menacingly. "Your scent is on this...thing..." He tossed the piece of fabric at her with
force, but she easily dodged it. "And now you stand in my path." He brought a clawed hand from
beneath his pelt and made a fist to strike. "You are only in my way human, for that you will be
disposed of."
Seiko's eyes flashed at his words, luckily shielded by the hood of the cloak that remained over
her haori. "Gan shom tues yemitero." 'You will regret that...' She said it as though it were
poison, and he let out a snarl, not knowing what it meant, but taking as the threat it was.
"So be it." With that, he rushed at her, ready to kill.
***
They fought for about an hour, the rain pouring down upon then, both delivering powerful blows.
Seiko remained in her human form and had no difficulty dodging most of his attacks, credited of
corse to the fact that she was able to move without all of the layers of clothing that had been
binding her from the rain.
She was frustrated, and evenly matched, but not wanting to give-in to the water around her, so it
would remain that way. She wanted to get back to the hut, and it had taken her long enough as it
was.
From her distraction, the yokai in the baboon pelt pinned her beneath him in a locking position.
But she became aware of the battle that seemed to drone on once more, flinging him from her
before he would be able to finish her off.
***
Naraku attacked with force, rushing at the human before him. He did not wish to admit it, but she
was skilled, and keeping him alert in the droning battle. Somehow he felt she was holding back,
that she had more power yet to reveal, but he didn't care. All he wanted to do was to claim his
defeat, and continue after the pestering hanyou, to finish him off for good.
He managed to pin her beneath him, and was about to slit her throat and add in miasma, but she
flung him from atop her before he could do the deed.
He recoiled and landed smoothly on his feet, landing in the muddy water. He watched as she
stood to her feet, taking a defensive stance.
It was then that he decided something that he wouldn't normally have. Many of his minions were
sustained by tainted shikon shards, thriving only to do as he said at his utmost control. But the
human before him would not be so easily controlled, and he could see that from how long she
had battled against him.
An evil grin spread his lips, as he reached underneath his pelt to retrieve something, the smooth
paper gliding across his fingers as he found what he wanted...
***
She watched as he pulled something from beneath his pelt, then rushed at her without much time
for her to doge.
She felt a slight sting on her neck as he passed her. She turned to follow his movement, but he
had fled, leaving only a shredded piece of cloth behind, which had originally been her own.
Seiko brought a hand to her neck, running her fingers over the source of the pain. Within minutes
the pain had gone, and it had healed over from the slight yokai power witch had generated from
the battle. She moved her hand from her neck around to wipe the rain and sweat from her eyes,
but noticed the crimson stain on her fingers and became more worried.
What had he done to her...
***
Kagome leaned into the frame of the window, looking out into the gloom of the storm. She and
InuYasha had returned to the hut hours before, and now she was fed, clean, and had nothing else
to do.
Light footsteps were heard behind her, and she turned to face InuYasha who had already put his
hands around her waist and pulled her closer to him. She looked up into his amber eyes,
searching their depths for nothing in particular, then leaned closer, placing a gentle kiss on his
lips.
He breathed in her sweet scent, pulling her to sit on the floor of the room, and holding her close
in his arms. She leaned her head on his chest, and he rested his chin on top of her head. Kikyou
tainted his sweet thoughts, remembering the many arrows that nearly killed him, and holding
Kagome closer in knowing that some could have killed her as well.
He lifted his head, then brought her gaze to his. He would not let Kikyou kill her, or him either...
He should have killed her off when he had the chance. Then he lowered his lips to hers, into a
fiery kiss which she only deepened.
A sudden breeze came from the window and he opened his eyes from their romantic moment to
see if it was anything of importance. His eyes widened at the sight and he roughly pulled away
from Kagome.
"InuYasha_" But she was cut off as he tuned her around in his lap to face what he was seeing.
Seiko was crouched in the window-frame with a cloak draped about her shoulders with a hood.
Her eyes were sharp, and baring down upon them... she was back...
