Chapter 12: Almost there . . . . . . couldn't think of anything else,
hehehe, I am such a loser!
"Look down," Kagome said pointing to something below them, "that looks like a path leading down."
"I thought no one knew about this place," Kouga asked looking confused.
"Most people don't," Kagome said, "But for the ones that do . . ."
"Well now that we have established how the path got there it still doesn't solve how we are going to get down to it," Yashi said wittingly, "It's a straight drop down."
"Right, uhhh . . .," Kouga said, " how about I'll jump down and Yashi, you'll lower Kagome down to me. OK?"
"Fine. But how will I get down? I certainly can't jump down like you," Yashi said.
"Well . . .I'll . . .I'll catch you," Kouga said slowly, thinking it over.
"You'll catch me?" Yashi said a little skeptically, "Right."
Giving Yashi a sideways glance Kouga jumped off the rocky cliff and landed on the path below with ease. Shrugging off the pain in his feet from the sharp rocks he had landed on he turned and waved that he was ready for Kagome. Yashi nodded his head in acknowledgment. Turing Yashi took Kagome's hands in his own.
"Do you think he knows about last night," Yashi whispered into Kagome's ear as she stepped in front of him.
"He has no idea," Kagome whispered back amused that Kouga couldn't tell.
Slowly Yashi guided Kagome to the edge of the rock face. He could feel her shake slightly as she took an unsteady step off.
Kagome's eyes remained shut the whole time she was lowered. It amazed her that for the many times she had been dropped or thrown she was still scared of heights. It used to bother her knowing that Inuyasha would never be there to catch her again. It was her sanctuary knowing that she was safe with him around. But ever since he had left it was different. She had to be careful.
Yashi heard Kagome gasp as he let her drop into Kouga's outstretched arms. As soon as Kagome's feet touched the ground Yashi could feel relief run through him. Peering over the rocky edge Yashi looked down into Kouga's impatient eyes.
"You coming," Kouga yelled up.
"Uhhh . . . yeah," Yashi said. ' Is he really going to catch me,' Yashi thought worriedly as he took a slow steep off the edge.
Yashi could feel nothing but air around him as he fell. It was one of the best feelings he had ever felt. He liked not being in control. Looking down Yashi could see Kouga still standing in his previous position. 'Oh shit he's actually going to catch me,' Yashi thought. Frantically Yashi began to flap his arms and claw at the air from the impact that was coming. Kouga's eyes widened. He could see what was going to happen.
The last thing Kouga saw was a red blur falling towards him before he hit the ground hard on his back.
"What . . . the . . . fuck," Kouga said a little breathless from having the wind kicked out of him.
"I didn't think you would actually catch me," Yashi said a little flabbergasted as he sat up on Kouga's chest.
"Well what else was I going to do," Kouga said smartly as he pushed Yashi off his chest.
"Kouga are you alright," Kagome asked trying not to giggle.
"I'll be fine," Kouga said standing tall.
"Hey, don't you guys feel that," Yashi asked, his eyes traveling from face to face.
"Feel what," Kagome asked turning to face him.
"That presence," Yashi said, a puzzled look on his face, "It's like I felt it before."
"Is it Sesshoumaru," Kouga asked.
"No, this one is much stronger," Yashi, said, "It's old and seems like it has been waiting a long time for something."
Kagome stood ahead on the path listening. Her eyes traveled over the tops of the many trees in the forest below. She had lied. She could feel the presence too. It was a presence she had promised to let go but never did.
~~~~~~~Sesshoumaru walked along the waters edge. The river had become small and shallow. The crystal clear surface of the water twinkled with the light from the sun and the rock walls that had once enclosed it had now turned into magnificent full-bloomed trees. Sesshoumaru's calmness had turned into unease; he could feel his brother's presence all around him now.
He would be there soon. The river led straight to the middle of the forest where the spirit tree resided. It had been a notorious tree, acting as a link between two worlds, the spirit and the living. But now it was only known as a grave. This was because a hanyou had chosen this place of peace to be buried deep within its many roots and it was here that he had chosen to hide The Fang. Sesshoumaru could sense how very close he was and how very fast Yashi and the others were gaining.
~~~~~~~ "Oh great now we're lost," Kagome said, anger hinting in her voice.
"One would think that if have such a great "sniffer" amongst us we wouldn't be in this situation," Yashi said sarcastically to Kouga who had a smug smile on his face.
"Don't worry, I know exactly where we are," Kouga said.
"No you don't," Yashi said getting into Kouga's face.
"Do so," Kouga snapped.
"Fine "sniffles" if you're so good go sniff our way to the nearest 10,000 year old tree," Yashi said smartly.
Kouga mumbled something inaudible.
"What was that you can't do it . . . right that's what I thought," Yashi said crossing his arms over his chest.
Kouga's eyes hinted with anger as he stepped up to Yashi.
"Why if you weren't human, I'd . . . I'd," Kouga said clenching his fists.
"You'd what," Yashi said encouraging him.
"Nothing you want to know," Kouga said turning to walk in the other direction.
"Feh, wimp," Yashi said with is arms across his chest.
Kagome who had been watching the whole thing from the behind was now staring intently at Yashi's back. 'What was that just now, it sounded just like Inuyasha,' Kagome thought.
~~~~~~~Long time no right, egh? Ok ok this one (so are the rest by the way) suck..no I mean double suck maybe even triple! And it has no point either! So umm yea guess what I got for ya all?!?! A preview of the next and final chapter!!!
Preview of chapter 13:
Kagome kneeled on the ground, her eyes in a blur. The impact from the energy blast had been too much for her. Finding her strength Kagome staggered up onto her legs. Wobbling a little Kagome found herself looking up into the alarmed face of Sesshoumaru. His skin had gone starch white and small beads of sweat had begun to form. His eyes were wide as he looked beyond Kagome.
"Don't touch her," a voice said.
Kagome's eyes widened, 'That voice.'
~ok I'm sorry it's a bad preview and if you didn't like it that's to bad! That's all your going to get!
"Look down," Kagome said pointing to something below them, "that looks like a path leading down."
