Chapter 4: The Vision
Kagome stared at the unconscious Yashi in her lap. 'He looks just like Inuyasha when he died,' Kagome thought to her self, 'the way he lays on my lap with his black hair everywhere barely breathing.' Her blank solemn stare attracted her friend's worried attention.
"Kagome are you all right, maybe you should go outside for a bit," Sango said to her friend.
Not hearing a word that Sango had just said to her Kagome looked up and asked, "What happened to him?"
"We were on our way back to return your clothes to you when something happened, he just collapsed. When we were carrying him here he kept on muttering something about 'behind the eyes,' and then he went completely silent," said Sango as Kagome returned her gaze to Yashi. Kagome brushed some of Yashi's sweat soaked hair away from his face.
"It seems that Inuyasha's soul is trying to tell Yashi something," Kaede said from across the room.
Kagome's eyes jettisoned up from Yashi's temples at the sound of Inuyasha's name.
"What," Kagome asked anxiously.
"We have yet to find out," Kaede answered.
Yashi's vision:
Yashi was standing surround by tall trees; rays of sunlight could be seen shinning through them. He could hear the wind blowing the trees and birds singing. Yashi looked down at himself; he wore the clothes he had been wearing before, a deep red kimono and a white undershirt. Around his waist laid the sword he had gotten when a man attacked him the first day he arrived. Wiggling his toes he could feel the soft mossy floor underneath his bare feet. "What is this place," he said to himself. Looking through the trees he saw something, something large. Yashi walked toward it cautiously.
Yashi stood in front of an extensive tree that reached for miles up. There carved on the tree was a picture of a dog. The eyes glowed at him as if asking him to come into the picture. The tree had a strange aura to it. It felt like Yashi had been there before.
"Thought you weren't coming," Said a voice.
Yashi jumping at the sound of his own voice swung around to come in front of a man crouching on top of a rock. He wore the same kimono as Yashi with beads around his neck. Yashi's eyes trailed away from his clothes to his fingertips, at each end laid claws.
On top of his head laid two dog-ears that were erected. His hair was silver colored and was as long as his own. It was like looking into the mirror only with some differences. The man's face was the same as Yashi's the only difference he saw was the man's eyes. His eyes were the color of gold with black strips running down the center. 'Those eyes, they are the same as the man who tried to kill me' Yashi thought.
The man got up from his perch and walked up to Yashi.
"Gods you do look like me, hell you even smell like me," the man said putting his nose close to Yashi sniffing the air around him lightly.
"Are you Inuyasha.wait you can't be.aren't you dead," Yashi asked.
"Yes, I am dead but also very alive," Inuyasha, said.
From the look on Yashi's face Inuyasha could tell he was confused.
"You don't get it do you."
"All I know is that Lady Kaede said that I'm suppose to be a reincarnation of you," Yashi said.
"Keh, what that old hag forgot to tell you is that you are the key. That is why Sesshoumaru seeks you out; he wishes to use you to reach the Tetsusaiga. A sword that must never reach him," Inuyasha said, "That is why you are here."
"Wait. wait. wait. OK what," Yashi asked confused, "What do you mean here?"
Getting frustrated with Yashi Inuyasha begun to let out a deep growl.
"Just remember, Behind the eyes lies the door," Inuyasha said trying to hold back some of his anger towards Yashi, "Oh and watch over Kagome for me, its your responsibility now, and tell her that soon I'll be back for her."
"Wait," Yashi yelled at the fading figure before him.
Inside the hut:
Yashi awoke with a jolt, his eyes sprung open to see the mellow face of a young women looking down upon him. 'It's that woman again. Could this be the Kagome Inuyasha was talking about?' Yashi thought.
"Kagome," He asked looking up at her a little out of breath.
"Your.ok," Kagome said a little confused on how he knew her giving him a small smile.
Ignoring the protests Yashi sat up sweet rolled from his forehead down his cheek dripping off his chin. The fire only made it worse, with out a word he got up a little shakily and walked out the door. The cool summer air felt good on his hot skin. Yashi let out a yawn as Kagome walked out the door to join him. Yashi turned around to look at her.
Kagome walked circles around him taking in his appearances. She finally stopped in front of him looking the longest at his face. Instead of Yashi she saw Inuyasha. She could imagine ears on top of his head and long silver hair instead of black. She imagined the big yellow eyes that used to greet her every morning for a year of her life; she saw the things that she missed the most. Even though she felt hot tears roll down her face she continued to look at Yashi, it was something she just had to do, something she had to conquer before she could go on.
Yashi opened his mouth to say something but decided that it was for the best that he didn't. He wasn't really that good at expressing his feelings towards other people or comforting them.
Kagome took in a deep breath calming her feelings before saying, "Come in side now."
Yashi walked with Kagome back into the hot hut of Kaede's. Everyone looked at him as he entered. Yashi sat next to the door so he could feel the night breeze on his face while Kagome sat across from him next to Kaede. Sango and Miroku sat next to each other on the opposite side of Kagome. Shippo placed himself on Kagome's lap. Yashi looked at him with an expression that read 'who are you?' Shippo understood all of this and said, "I'm Shippo."
"Let me guess, you're a squirrel demon aren't you," Yashi said with his head resting upon the wall.
Shippo giving him an irritated look and said in a ruffled voice, "Fox."
The group looked around at each other seeing who would be the one to break the silence first.
"I." Yashi started but was interrupted by someone bulging through the door.
A man with long black hair pulled back into a ponytail walked into the room. He wore fur cuffs on his legs and his feet were bare. He wore armor on his chest ending at his waist. Around his midsection he wore a skirt type thing that ended high above his knees. (I have no idea what it is) The man had brilliant blue eyes and a short brown fluffy tail that extended to his knees. His legs and arms shown with muscles and his shoulders were broad. On his waist laid a sword. A smile lay on his face as he stared at Kagome.
"Kouga what are you doing here," Kagome asked a little irritated.
"Here to claim my mate and this is the last time I'm going to ask you nicely. Either come with me now or I'll claim you be force if it comes to that," Kouga said grabbing Kagome by the arm.
"And that was nicely," Yashi said standing up. Kouga turned around to find who had the nerve to speak to him in that tone.
His mouth dropped as he looked at Yashi.
"Who the." Kouga started but was interrupted by Yashi.
"Let Kagome go," Yashi said in his most demanding voice.
"And what are you going to do about it," Kouga threatened.
"Here I'll show you," Said Yashi throwing a punch at him. Kouga fell to the ground hard. Rubbing his jaw he looked up at Yashi.
"Your pretty strong for a human," Kouga said getting up from the ground and drawing his sword. Yashi drew his own sword and prepared to fit him. Kouga swung first, Yashi easily blocked. The group watched as the two of them battled it out unaware on how good Yashi was with a sword. Kouga moved for Yashi's right, Yashi went to block but Kouga tricked him and swung for his left slashing open Yashi's side. Blood poured from his body as Yashi fell to the ground dropping his sword.
"YASHI," Kagome yelled running to his side. Kouga only watched as Kagome ripped Yashi's shirt off inspecting his wound. It was a grazing but also very deep. A cold sweet poured over Yashi. Droplets formed on his face as he reached for Kagome's hand. Grasping it hard He could only hear Kagome say faintly "Stay with me. Stay with me." As darkness filled his eyes and he could hear no more.
~~~Hey!!! You know what that one was boring. Did you guys think it was? Please review. Lindz~~~PS Sarah if you read this while you are still mad at me I am sorry and I have been trying to get a hold of to tell you that.
