Disclaimer: Unless for some strnge reason I'm on Rumiko takashi's will, I don't think I'll ever
own InuYasha... maybe that could be arranged though.... *evil smile*
Notes: GOMEN! GOMEN! It's taken all to long to get this up... but while I could make this
another rambling author note, I'm just gonna shorten it and say that higher forces were
preventing me from this update... u_u' let's just leave it at that... Also, please review... flames
deserved, but I still hope you enjoy the chappy...
Aside from all of that I'll try to put in some comments at the end of the chapter... It's going up
late enough as it is, so I think I can spare the time to comment.. *shrugs* Read on... ~Bunny
~* Over the Edge - Chapter 31: Not the Same*~
She walked through the main room casually, even though she was soaked and spreading the
muddy waters across the wooden floor. Her eyes were still sharp, but now scouring the rest of the
hut, silently bidding them to go on.
She made her way to the kitchen, where the fire still gleamed in it's hearth. Sango and Miroku
had been drinking tea with Fera-baba, but it seemed they all began to choke on the warm liquid
upon her nonchalant entrance without a word. She strewn the cloak garb to the side of the hearth,
to dry on the warm stones, and sat down in front of the fire herself.
She rung the muddy waters from her new haori, which draped of aqua blue and black. The
Western Lord had given it to her, knowing that her green one would be lost with the storm, and
thought it brought out the deepness of her empty eyes that shone before him. But right then they
were dark, and she seemed even more expressionless than she had upon her first arrival, and the
garbs were stained with the muddy waters, dulling the fine pattern that was so carefully sewn.
It was the small things that they noticed. Seeing her soaked hair, and new cloths. It has been days
since they'd last seen her, and yet it felt like something much more. Something was just different.
***
Shippou bounced into the room humming, falling to the floor in noticing the huntress before the
fire, and overwhelmed by the shock that had no warning. Though after getting up, he bounced
over to her, giving her a furry hug.
"Seiko-sama!" He squealed with delight, burrowing into her chest. But he soon stopped as he
noticed the faint alteration in her scent. He stopped and looked up at her with big eyes as she
patted him lightly on the head, looking down upon him, still showing no expression. "You're...
you're...."
Seiko gently took the kitsune from her lap and urged him to the others at the table behind her,
without a word, granting a slight nod to confirm what he couldn't manage to say.
"YOU'RE LORD SESSHOMAROU'S MATE?!" His eyes welled up as he looked to the
huntress, still without even a slight smile, and bounded from the room.
The others remained, in even more shock than before, thoughts running through their heads. But
the huntress merely turned back to the fire, ringing out her haori as it dried.
***
InuYasha had taken Kagome back into his lap, wrapping his muscular arms around her. The
young miko was in shock, and dazed out in Seiko's sudden arrival, and her heart raced. But he
rocked her in his arms, calming her back down, and breathing in her gentle scent. Her heart
slowed to it's normal pace, and she relaxed into his hold.
Her head soon found its place on his chest, listening to his steady breathing as he held her. She
brought her arms around his neck, as he held her even closer. Before long, his gaze found hers
and they leaned in for a kiss, one of the few to be uninterrupted since that first day at the sunrise.
Their lips had barely grazed, when a scream was head from the kitchen. The kitsune cried out, as
if his lungs were to burst. "YOU'RE LORD SESSHOMAROU'S MATE?!"
Not a second later, a ball of fluff came rushing at Kagome. But InuYasha caught the kitsune by
the tail as he struggled to make his way between them once more. He flung the kit out of the near
window and turned back to Kagome, a slightly frustrated look on his face. Or he would have, had
it not been for the force that sent him to the ground as that fated word spilled from her lips.
"SIT!" Kagome stood, towering over the hanyou, then rushed to the window.
Shippou cried out with fear as he hopped onto the window frame, drenched with the storm's
waters, his fur sticking to his small form. With big eyes he looked up at Kagome who was now
before him, and held out his arms to her. She picked him up, and held him in her arms, heading
to the other side of the room to get her pack, where she had an extra towel.
"I'm sorry Shippou-chan. InuYasha shouldn't have done that." She patted the kit on his head,
glaring over at InuYasha who was now sitting up as the spell wore off.
He mumbled under his breath, and folded his arms before him. "Well the little brat shouldn't
have come between us like that..."
"Sit."
"Oi wench! What was that for?!"
"You shouldn't talk about Shippou that way... Besides Seiko's back, and we don't really have
time for 'that' right now..." She rolled her eyes and knelt down on the floor, rummaging through
her bag for the towel. After she found it, she wrapped it around Shippou and helped him to dry
off.
***
Once the kitsune was warm and dry, he curled up into a ball on Kagome's sleeping bag, and fell
asleep, after all, it was fairly late.
InuYasha headed toward the kitchen, and Kagome followed behind him. He was about to leave
the room when she caught his wrist, and he turned to face her. She pecked his cheek and
whispered in his ear as she pulled back. He grinned at her words and they continued into the
kitchen.
'...sorry for that... I'll make it up to you later...'
*****
(A/N: As I've said before, this has taken to long to get up. So (call it a guilt trip if you will) I'm
gonna try to make this longer than other chapters, and I'm gonna start on 32 right after this is
finished, so I can update more efficiently... Aside from that, I actually wanted this part to be a
little more dramatic, mostly because of what it was Naraku did to Sieko *stifles laughter*...
*breaks out laughing and points at audience* and yous DON'T know... but it will all make sense
once you do... so anyway, I found that it was easier to add in a little humor... hope it didn't go to
far, but I tried a romantic scene too, and it just didn't work... Okay, well, I don't want to waste
any MORE time.. read on. ~Bunny)
*****
They sat down at the table with Sango, Miroku, and Fera-baba, all of them sitting in silence as
they glanced at the huntress before the fire. After a few minutes, they began to exchange glances,
both confused and worried.
A sharp whistle broke the silence, and the fire hawk which had seemed dormant over the days of
Seiko's absence, flew gracefully into the room, then perched on her forearm that was extended.
She turned to the group at the table and approached them, her eyes searching their blank faces.
Then almost to casually, she spoke. "Does anyone have a piece of paper?" They all stumbled on
what to say, remaining fairly silent to her request. "...I'd like to send a note to Oki..."
***
Naraku had retreated once more, and was grinning evilly at how his pan was coming. The
shadows cast off the walls of the damp cave covered him, and much of what was around him.
The damp air rouging his scent with mold.
Never before had he come upon a human that was as powerful as the huntress he'd encountered
that day. Not one that was not a miko at the least... Kikyou could have taken her of that when she
was in her prime. But it still remained that he was pleased.
Originally, he had merely intended for the girl to go after the hanyou for him... it wold cause
enough distraction for him to claim the remainder of the jewel... But now things had changed. He
had never intended for luck to bestow him so nicely... and that she was a new-found companion
would make it all the more easier for him to claim the Shikon no Tama... and the thrust the miko
bitch would have in her, would be ruined as she kills off her love... tainting it as he intended it to
over fifty years before.
He gave a slight grin as he looked down upon the now blank scroll. '...who would have guessed
that a human would be the one to take down the mighty InuYasha... and all it took was a spell...'
***
Kagome retrieved a paper from her pack and gave it to the huntress, along with a brush and ink.
She had learned the hard way that people from the feudal era weren't used to pencils and pens..
nor ready for them (A/N: just image Shippou soaked in ink from a fountain pen with big eyes...
cute, but gets my point across.)...
Seiko gave a slight nod to Kagome as thanks, then returned to the front of the hearth where she
began to write. After a few minutes, she had finished and closed the ink bottle, but Miroku
hesitantly spoke. "Er.. Seiko-sama... Do you think I could add a note to Oki?.. From me..."
The huntress paused, nodded her head, and handed the brush and ink to the hiroshi. Then
hesitantly handed over the paper. He took it calmly, and began to write himself, not bothering to
read what it was she had wrote.
After he was finished, the note was rolled up and slipped into a pouch attached to the leg of her
fire haw. Seiko gave a series of gestures and commands, whistling occasionally, and switching
back and fourth between the language of the gypsies and regular Japanese. Before they knew it,
there was a blur of reds and oranges, disappearing into the darkness of the storm.
***
Naraku took in the silent news of a yokai bird carrying a message away from the place that his
plan had so closely centered around. He did not favor the idea of contacts with others, for both
the human and monk.
So he bounded from the cave, his baboon pelt shielding him from the pouring rains, and he sped
toward the direction the combat bird was headed.
He neared a clearing, but would not be so foolish as to expose himself from outside of the heavy
underbrush. He knew how well a hawk yokai's vision was, no matter if it was a storm. So he
patiently waited as the bird neared, staying out of sight.
Soon there was an intense rush of wind, and Naraku knew that the hawk was at one of it's top
speeds. He silently followed behind, wanting to know where it was that the hawk yokai was
headed... or rather, where it was that the human had scent it... at the same time impressed that she
could obtain such a bird.
Hours later, he arrived at the outskirts of a small town, surrounded by farms and market streets.
Remaining in stealth, he found his way to the destination of the fire hawk, and saw a meek,
young woman welcome it... '..now what to do of this?...'

Okay... there's the end. I think some of you know what's coming, but maybe not... *shrugs*
anywhoo, I hope you liked it... it sure took me long enough *bangs self on head*...
Well, here's some comments to yous, cus I don't have much else to say...
Heather - One of the reasons that stalled me from updating was that my monitor crashed... it was
about as bad as you n_n'.. Guess that's the price we all pay for imperfect technology... Sorry for
taking so long, but I've made a new record.. quickest update: twice in one day; longest: 18 days..
which is this recent one... *shrugs* I still have to catch up to you though, and another thanks for
requesting my fic to some of your readers *bows* thankee...
Kaylana - Yup it still sucks, and with all my afterschool activities and tests, it seems I have no
time to be mad at it.. but I AM pissed off that I missed hack//sign over the weekend... u_u
stargurl215 - well, there's more... I hate taking that long to post, but I hope you liked it... thinks
of how long until the end of the plot.. yup, more to come too
Icee-chan - well, I hope that last part answered your question.. but if it was a little vague (which
it very well may have been) basically, Naraku has Seiko under his influence, kind of like how
he'd control other yokai with Shikon shards... but it IS ,more complicated than that.. I'll go there
another time though...
WarGrowl90 - Gad you finally made it... well, caught up anyway... and of course by the time that
happened I just HAD to be stalled up... 9_9 things work in the queerest of ways... well anywhoo,
I hope ya stick around, and I'm looking forward to more of your story...
fallen-angel - Does that satisfy you?.. well, some of you WOULDN'T like it.. but it's kinda the
main part of the plot for a while... bad baboon boy *bops Naraku on the head* o_o AH!
MIASMA!
Phoenix of the Burning Light - Well, if you've caught up or not... I'm hoping you haven't gotten
those worry wrinkles, and i don't want you to be uglyful... and Rin-cahn is absent from this story
only cus I don't know much about her... and I really don't like capturing a personality that I
basically only heard about from other fanfiction where it could have been altered... so I'd rather
includ her in an AU or something, until i get to know what she's really like... also, hope you're
not as confuzzled anymore n_n
Nankinmai - I can relate to the whole busy schedule thing.. most of the reason this was up so late
was for the sheer fact that lacrose season started, plus I had all this major testing going on, and I
had practically no free time in the evenings, and when I'd wake up at five in the morning for
school, I'd feel like I'd been hit by a truck, so couldn't bring myself to go on the computer...
*gasps for breath* but somewhere in all of this havoc that is besowed upon me I have found the
time to finally get up this chapter... sorry bout that.. didn't mean to rambe... Anywhoo, you
brough up a bunch of goo point in your review, and I'll try to answer a few of them... (I like long
reviews, so this is also a long response *smiles*)
1 - I had to get Inu to forget about the food fairly quick, cus that wasn't a major part in the plot,
and I couldn't stress it
2 - If you read my A/Ns from the other chapters I slipped to leak that eventually there would be
M/S.. and ya know for that to happen the thing with Oki will have to come to pass *hint hint*
3 - Don't worry about Seiko and Sesshy... they've known each other a while, and somehow
they'll *cough* I'll*... work it out...
4 - They were kind of traveling northwest, along the border (if you'll call it that) between
Sesshy's lands and the Northern lands... also, I'd mentioned that Seiko's band had to move (well,
what was left of it0 after the ceremony that killed many of them (they had been in the West) and
moved North.. n_n' sorry bout that, probably wasn't to clear)
and 5 - NO! I've made up the language of the gypsies... but I thought It added a slight flair *still
made that italics didn't work* but not all of what was said in it showed up.. *shrugs* guess I
never bothered to go back and fix it though n_n'...
Err... also, sorry bout that Naraku and Kikyou thing.. didn't mean for it to happen that way, but
it's crucial for them both to complicate the scene now...
Wow.. hope THAT clears things up... O_o *long reply*
and to DarkGoddess - Glad to see you again, and the update was late again EVERYONE'S
request, so don't hate me... n_n'
See you all next chappy hopefully. Amd I'll try to be more reasonable for time. ~Bunny
own InuYasha... maybe that could be arranged though.... *evil smile*
Notes: GOMEN! GOMEN! It's taken all to long to get this up... but while I could make this
