Nobara: What's NOT wrong with schools?!
Inuyasha: Are you okay?
Nobara: NO I'm not okay!!
Inuyasha::backing slowly out of the room:: I'll just be going now....
Nobara: Here's Ch. 7
Crystal had been out cold for sometime. Her head pounded in pain and she couldn't remember what had happened. Trying to run her temples she found that her hands were shackled to the wall above her head. "Hello?" she yelled into the darkness. There was no response other than her echo. She sighed and relaxed looking into the darkness she wished Inuyasha would spring from no where and save her yet again. But he didn't. A breeze began to rustled her hair slightly and a light exploded from her left. The shape of a woman began walking towards her. "Who are you?" asked Crystal watching the woman come closer. "I am the Wind Sorceress Kagura. Narakuin sent me to retrieve you," replied the woman. From her sleeve she withdrew an iron key and jammed it in the lock on the shackles.
Twisting the key in the squeaky lock the shackles popped free and Crystal pulled her hands down rubbing her wrists where red marks formed. Kagura tapped her on the shoulder with her fan and pointed to the door. Crystal began walking out with the wind sorceress right behind her. They entered a large empty room, it's only occupant a man sitting on a cushion at the far side of the room. Crystal recognized him at once as being the one who had kidnapped her. Picking her pace up at bit she walked up to him, anger filling her eyes.
"You!" she said through gritted teeth as she came up to him. He didn't move the slightest to acknowledge she was there, not even an eye opened to watch as she drew back her fist ready to cold cock him. But she was stopped. A long white string wrapped around her wrist and then around her. All of a sudden she was suspended from the ceiling by spider webs. Trying to yank herself free proved to be a pointless task, she wasn't moving until he wanted her to. "What do you want from me?" she asked in a weary voice. This time he opened his eyes and looked at her then stood up, his face level with hers.
"I want Fire Rose's time control powers," he said simply. Crystal gave a confused look, "What?" Narakuin smirked, "Not even you know who you are do you?" She shook her head and relaxed in the spider's web, deciding he was either going to tell her or he would leave the room laughing and either way she'd still be stuck. Walking forward he cupped her face gently in his left hand. "Fire Rose was an ancient priestess, sister to Midoriko. While her sister was a fighter, Fire Rose had the gift of time. She could go to the past and the future and even stopped time when she wanted to. You are Fire Rose, you have that power and I want it, and it would help me greatly if you cooperated." His explanation was brief and left Crystal informed of his intentions.
She jerked her face away from him, "I'd rather die then help you in any way." Narakuin's smirk disappeared, "That can be arranged faster than what you realize." With that he left the room motioning for Kagura to come in. The wind sorceress wasn't alone, with her was a redhead, "Enju, this is Crystal. She will be the one you draw the souls from." The redhead nodded as she was left alone with Crystal. "I'm not going to do it," said Enju as she began to cut away the webbing. Crystal fell down on her rump and was helped up by Enju. "I'll help you escape," she said walking towards the door. Crystal followed, unable to believe how easy this was.
Inuyasha had sped to the castle and found Narakuin with ease. "Where's Crystal?" growled the hanyou. Narakuin laughed, "Being drained of her souls, sorry but you're too late," replied Naraku's son. Inuyasha growled again and lunged at him. Miroku and the others stood in the doorway watching as Narakuin quickly got the best of Inuyasha and kept him pinned to the wall with a root through his shoulder. Miroku went next, his wind tunnel gone all he had was talismans and his staff. They weren't enough to safe the monk from a blow to the head which knocked him out. Kouga and Sesshomaru sprang into action together, attempting to outnumber Narakuin.
The canines were shocked when three duplicates of the demon overpowered them. Crystal stopped in her tracks and stared down the hall. She heard shouting down the hallway, Miroku, Kouga, Sesshomaru, and Inuyasha. Before she realized what she was doing she sped off to where she heard the shouting leaving Enju to yell after her. Her heart pounded in her ears as she skidded to a halt in the room with all the men. "You! You're not suppose to be here!" shouted Narakuin as he saw Crystal. She stared in horror as she saw all of them around the room like they were. "Crystal run," said Inuyasha as he saw the familiar glint of anger flash in her eyes.
Crystal turned to look at him and smiled, "Don't worry, I'll be right back," she saw and began towards Narakuin. Inuyasha felt his own heart stop, that was what Kagome had told him. He struggled against the hold of the tentacle as he watched a light blue barrier go up around the girl, deflecting all Narakuin's attacks. Her arms were out straight in front of her, palms out and fingers spread. Between her hands Inuyasha watched as a blue orb of light appeared, also too familiar to him. Knowing exactly what she was about to do Inuyasha's struggling became more frantic, "No! Crystal don't do it!" he screamed. Crystal ignored him as the light grew brighter. The hanyou closed his eyes as the the light engulfed them all in a blinding white.
Narakuin's scream was exactly like his father's as it echoed in Inuyasha's ears. As the hanyou opened his eyes he saw that he was no longer pinned to the wall. Crystal was sitting in the floor with her eyes closed when Inuyasha rushed to check her. "Crystal?" he asked softly as he placed a hand on her shoulder. The redhead turned to look at him and smiled, "I told you I'd be right back,"she said. A sigh escaped Inuyasha as he hugged her. Crystal weakly hugged him back with a weak smile on her face. Inuyasha held her shoulders and pushed her back to look her in the eyes.
"I should have told you this sooner, Crystal I love you," he said softly hugging her close again. Crystal patted his back and pushed him away. "No you don't. When you look at me you see Kagome and give me your love that is meant for another," she replied looking at him softly. Inuyasha looked at her with a confused gaze as she pushed him away and stood up. Touching the base of her neck between her colar bones with her pointer and middle fingers the blue light returned to surround Crystal as she faded away. How she knew how to do this she would never know, it came natural on how to use Fire Rose's powers that had lay dormant within her for so long.
When she opened her eyes she was where she had meant to go. The battle with Naraku was raging around her as she watched Sesshomaru bring the monk back to life. The sword called Tensaiga had rocketed from Sesshomaru's hand and landed at her feet. Crystal bent and picked it up as one of the many tentacles reached to shatter it. Rushing to the demon lord she returned it to him as he knelt by a little human girl. "Here," she said and turned to find Inuyasha. Sesshomaru looked at Crystal and gave a silent thank you as he used the sword to bring Rin back to life once again.
Then she saw him, he was laying behind two brunettes she guessed to be Kagome and Kikyo. As Sesshomaru went to resurrect the slayer and wolf maiden Crystal rushed over to the brunettes. "Who are you?" asked one wearing a school uniform. "It's not important, I'm here to help. If you two go in alone you'll die," said Crystal. Kagome and Kikyo nodded as Inuyasha watched on in shock. For some reason as he looked at Crystal he knew exactly who she was and all that had happened. The three walked out and took hands, the blue aura beginning around them as they began to levitate. With a flash of light and scream from Naraku Inuyasha knew it was over.
Inuyasha looked around him, he was in Kagome's time. He didn't know how he had gotten there but he figured it had something to do with time righting itself. Going outside he saw Souta playing with someone, the boy had dark brown hair with natural red highlights and eyes that were a cross between blue and grey. "Inuysha, I want you to meet my friend Chad, him and his sister just moved here a few days ago," said Souta happily. Chad waved and the boy began to play again. Inuyasha smiled to himself and began off into town looking for Kagome. He wore his usual red baseball cap as he walked through town, arms folded across his chest. It was then that he smelt it, roses.
he strongest scent of roses he'd smelt in a long time. Looking around he saw no rose carts but he saw the coffee shop and the redhead who was hurrying from it. If only she had saw him. The girl crashed into him full force and sent both of them sprawling to the ground. "Gomen," she said as she picked up a few papers from the ground. She wore a school uniform like Kagome's and carried a briefcase which had popped open letting all the contents scatter on the sidewalk.
"It's fine, let me help you," he replied as he looked at the redhead to which he owed everything. She smiled and held out her hand," I'm Crystal," she said as she stood up and offered to help the hanyou. He took her hand and stood up, "I'm sorry to seem rude but I must hurry, I must be going," she said and rushed off. Inuyasha smiled to himself as he silently thanked her again. "Inuyasha what are you doing here?" asked a voice from behind him.
Turning to look he saw Kagome's eyes boring into his. Even though she was mad he couldn't help but hug her. Kagome's expression changed from angry to shocked as she pulled back and gazed athim, "Are you alright?" she asked in a worried voice. Inuyasha nodded and began walking off towards the shrine, remembering everything that would have happenednd thanking every god he knew of that it didn't. Kagome shrugged off his odd behavior as they came to the shrine. Once more Inuyasha caught the scent of roses as they came into the house.
"Thank you for your hospitality Mrs. Higurashi," said a Southern accent from the kitchen. Kagome's mom smiled as her daughter and Inuyasha walked in, "Kagome, this is your tutor Crystal Wilson," she said cheerily. Crystal held out her hand to Kagome, "The school sent me to be your tutor over the summer," she said. Kagome smiled, "That's good, because I know I'll need one." Crystal looked at Mrs. Higurashi and bowed politely, "Thank you again for letting Chad play with Souta," she said. "I'll see you on Tuesday Kagome, good-bye Inuyasha," said the southern belle as she went to the door to get her shoes and then outside to get her brother.
Kagome had a confused look on her face, "Do you know her Inuyasha?" Inuyasha laughed softly and then turned to look at Kagome, "She's a firey rose that I once knew and owe too much to," he replied. Kagome looked even more confused, "Let's just say she's an old friend that found her place," he said again as he watched out the window as Crystal and Chad walked down the stairs hand in hand and the young boy chattering away happily.
