Chapter 6: Save Me
Birds sung from all around and the grass was coated in dew. Yashi awoke breathing in the morning air deeply. He guessed that it was around midmorning. Everyone else was awake and sitting by the fire waiting for the fish that hung above it to be done. No one said a word to him as he sat down next to Sango; they all stared blankly at the fire. As Yashi looked around at everyone he noticed that Kagome and Kouga were missing. 'Is something going on between them' Yashi asked himself. Standing up suddenly he looked around the forest nervously he felt something, something evil. It was something he had felt before but couldn't remember what.
"What is it," Sango asked looking up at Yashi.
"I sensed something," Yashi answered sitting back down by the fire, "it was nothing."
Sango nodded her head in agreement.
"Where is Kagome," Yashi asked.
"Kouga got word that some of his pack was injured, Kagome went to see if she could help. She will be back tonight or tomorrow," Sango said.
"Ooh," Yashi said.
Sitting next to Yashi was Shippo. He looked up at him with a confused look on his face.
"Do you remember anything from Inuyasha's life, I mean since your Inuyasha's reincarnation and all. Kagome said that she sometimes remembers things from her past life," Shippo asked.
Yashi looked down at him with a stern look on his face that slowly faded into a warm smile. "I remember little things like smells. Also I get feelings like I've been places before," Yashi said.
"Ooh," Shippo said.
Without saying anything Yashi stood up and walked silently into the woods. The evil presence that he had felt before was closer and stronger than before. Seeing the dazed look on Yashi's face Sango followed.
"Are you ok," Sango asked walking with him. "I'm not sure. I feel something, something so familiar but I don't know what," Yashi said looking at Sango as he walked.
"I know the feeling. It's like you feel as though you lost something but you don't know what and it just keeps eating away at you until you remember," Sango said.
"Hai," was all Yashi could say.
They walked in silence taking in the scenery. The wind lightly blew and the sun warmed their faces. Birds still sung all around them. Every ounce in a while a squirrel or tiny animal would run past them. Approaching a river Yashi plopped himself down on top of a boulder that over looked the river. Sango sat next to him watching him stare into the water.
"What are you thinking about," Sango asked.
When there came no answer she asked, "Yashi are you OK."
Yashi's eyes were wide open as he stared into the water. He pulled himself closer to the edge and leaned over to get a better look. Figures formed in the water before him, they were blurry at first but slowly came into focus. The figures stood by the same river Yashi and Sango were at now. He thought he saw himself at first then Yashi realized who it was, Inuyasha. Inuyasha was talking to Kagome. Kagome had tears rolling down the sides of her face while Inuyasha had a grave yet worried look on his face. Their words slowly came to Yashi.
"Why," Kagome said crying.
"It's something that I must do," Inuyasha said walking up to her and taking her hand in his own.
"Can't you talk to him? Can't you make another agreement," Kagome asked.
"No, it's the only way I can protect you," Inuyasha said, "I love you Kagome and I don't want to see you in the arms of my brother if anything ever happened to me. If to die is the only way to insure that than I'll gladly do it. Once I'm gone Sesshoumaru can never harm you or claim you as his own. Look, with the deal Sesshoumaru and I made Sesshoumaru thinks that by killing me he will get Tetsusaiga and also you in the package. What he doesn't know is that I hid the Tetsusaiga and no one knows where, not even you. "
Kagome looked up into Inuyasha's eyes for long moments before pulling herself in for a tight hug. Her tears soaked into Inuyasha's kimono. Looking down at Kagome Inuyasha kissed her head lightly as tears dripped from his eyes.
"I have something for you," Inuyasha said pulling something out of his Kimono.
Kagome looked at the object that hung from Inuyasha's hand. Her eyes followed the chain down to a dark gold crystal. Light could be seen from inside that went off and on, equivalent to Inuyasha's heartbeat.
"As long as the light is inside, I will be alive," Inuyasha said.
Kagome took it from Inuyasha's hand and stared at it.
"Remember what I told you about the person who will come," Inuyasha asked.
"Hai," Kagome answered looking up at him.
"Give it to him," Inuyasha said.
"Why," Kagome asked.
"It will bring him to the Tetsusaiga" Inuyasha started as a voice came from behind him.
Yashi watched as Sesshoumaru walked up from behind Inuyasha.
"It's time," He said as Inuyasha turned to follow.
"NO, WAIT" Kagome screamed as Inuyasha walked away.
Ripples poured over the vision. When the water settled Yashi saw Kagome kneeling on the ground still crying. The day was darker than before; a lot of time had gone by since Inuyasha left her there. Her attention was focused on the crystal Inuyasha had given her. She watched it intently as the light inside the crystal began to slow down and fade until the light was gone. Kagome feel to the ground hugging the crystal tightly to her body.
"Inuyasha, no, Inuyasha," she cried.
Getting up she ran into the forest around her. Kagome came to a tree that grew high above the canopy. With her eyes blurry she through the crystal into a hole in the tree and ran away.
The vision ended there. Yashi sat up with tears on the sides of he face. His breathing was heavy. Sango hovered above him with a worried look on her face.
"Yashi what is it. Do you want me to get help," She kept on saying.
"The crystal, the crystal," Yashi repeated as he got up and ran into the woods.
"YASHI WAIT," Sango Yelled running after him.
Yashi ran past the place he had seen Inuyasha and Kagome talking with Sango at his heel. He could see it now the tree Kagome had thrown the crystal into.
"Yashi where are we going," Sango asked him out of breath.
Yashi stopped dead in his tracks as he stood before the tree taking in its height. Sango ran into his back hard.
"Where are we," Sango asked.
Yashi said nothing to Sango as he walked up to the tree looking into the dark hole he had seen Kagome throw the crystal in. Unsure of what else would be in there he cautiously reached his hand into the hole. Yashi could feel slim and bugs crawling around and through his fingers. Going deeper into the tree Yashi hit something hard. Grabbing it he pulled it out. There in his hand laid the crystal that Kagome had thrown two years ago in to the hole. Slim and moss had grown on it and the chain was slightly rusting from the dampness of the hole. Clapping could be heard coming from the woods. Sango and Yashi watched as Sesshoumaru walked slowly out of the woods, a deadly smile played across his face.
"Good job, you found the thing that supposedly will bring me to the Tetsusaiga," Sesshoumaru said in his solemn voice.
Yashi looked down at the crystal than back up at Sesshoumaru.
"How did you know it will bring you to the Tetsusaiga," Yashi asked.
A smile caressed Sesshoumaru's lips. "My stupid brother didn't even notice me listing. I watched him give the girl the rock then and there I knew that she would hide it after he died so I watched and waited. I followed her to this tree and watched her throw it in to it. After she left I went to get it but was blocked by a barrier that surrounded it. The only way I can hold it is if a human hands it to me. Now give it," Sesshoumaru said.
"And what if I don't," Yashi played.
"Then you will dye a faster death than I had planned for you," Sesshoumaru said, "Give it to me."
"No," Yashi said putting the crystal around his neck.
"You insolent human how dare you defy a demon," Sesshoumaru said running towards Yashi.
Sesshoumaru hit Yashi across his face making him fly a few feet into the air. Yashi hit the ground hard clutching his face.
Stumbling up he said, "Is that all you got."
Sesshoumaru raised his hand for another strike when Sango hurled her boomerang at him. Focusing on object flying towards him Sesshoumaru sliced through the boomerang, cutting it in half.
"Don't interrupt me again girl," Sesshoumaru said walking up to Sango who had her sword ready.
Pulling his own sword from its sheath Sesshoumaru knocked Sango's sword from her hands hard making it fly. Taking his chance before she ran Sesshoumaru cut Sango's side making her fall to the ground in pain. Turning around Sesshoumaru came face to face with Yashi. The pain from before ran down Yashi's arm to his fingertips. Claws pushed through his fingernails making blood drip at the edges. Raising his hand Yashi struck Sesshoumaru in the face-digging deep into his flesh.
Startled by this Sesshoumaru stood there looking down at Yashi as the blood poured from his wounds. He could feel the hate radiating off of him. Easily Sesshoumaru blocked Yashi as he lunged for him again, knocking him to the ground. Sesshoumaru picked Yashi up by his neck leaving him to hang limply in his hand. Preparing to plunge his sword into Yashi's stomach Sesshoumaru was knocked away by a swift kick in the head. Dropping Yashi to the ground Sesshoumaru turned to face Kouga.
"Why isn't it the wolf pup," Sesshoumaru said.
