Chapter Seven- Meeting.
"Here I am." Serenity said as she lifted her head to them. Sango looked at her curiously and Inuyasha looked at her blankly. "The scent is the same." He said at last. "But they said it was a hanyou, you are a human." Serenity looked at herself and laughed. "Opps, I forgot." She was surrounded in light for a moment then it disappeared. Everyone but Ray looked at her in shock as her hair grew and tiny dog ears appeared and her fingernails went to claws. It was then that Inuyasha felt it. He was sure about it. He looked down at the Tetsusaiga. 'It...it pulsed.' He stared at the sword and then at her. 'It must be because she is a hanyou' Inuyasha thought. "Why did you attack the village!" Inuyasha demanded. "She's the one!" Sango exclaimed grabbing her boomerang and bracing herself. Serenity gave a half smile and a low growl. Again Inuyasha felt it. The Tetsusaiga pulsed. Then he saw it. If only for a brief moment. He wasn't even sure if it was real, if he had really seen it. It wouldn't be the first time his sight had played tricks on him. But...he saw it. For that brief moment while he was looking at Serenity he saw Kagomes face. He stared at her for a moment.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Serenity demanded. Inuyasha said nothing at first, he was going through his mind wondering if he had really seen it. He knew he couldn't trust his eyes when it came to Kagome. He shook that thought from his mind and grabbed the hilt of the Tetsusaiga. "Who are you?" He asked. Serenity smiled a smile that seemed to be evil on her face. "I am Serenity." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome and Miroku walked in silence. Miroku going through the shock of seeing Kagome again after all these years. More so finding out about Kagome and Inuyasha having a child, a daughter. All he could think about was Inuyasha and how he would take the news of Kagome being back, much less knowing of Serenity's existence. Kagome too had her mind on Inuyasha, but not on how he would react to it but how to keep him from finding out, should she see him. Then it hit her. Miroku! She turned to him with a serious look on her face and in her eyes. "Miroku you must promise me." "Promise what?" "Promise me that you will not tell him. That you will not tell Inuyasha about Serenity." Miroku looked at her shocked. He hadn't really thought that Kagome wouldn't want him to know. But after a few minuets of thinking about it he began to understand some. Though he did it reluctantly, he finally agreed not to tell Inuyasha about Serenity. He had to tell Inuyasha about Kagome, even if he didn't see her while she was here. Miroku saw how bad it hurt Inuyasha when they realized she was gone.... *FLASHBACK*
"Miroku! Miroku! Wake up!" Inuyasha yelled as he shook the monk awake. Miroku immediately looked at Sango who lay next to him, the blanket at her bare shoulders and one hand over Mirokus chest. "Sh! Inuyasha, what is it?" Miroku said as he grabbed his robe and pulled it on, careful not to wake Sango. He motioned for Inuyasha to be quiet till they got outside. "Inuyasha what is it?" He looked around. "Where is Lady Kagome?" Inuyasha looked at him, urgency in his now pale golden eyes. "Miroku, have you seen Kagome?" Miroku shook his head no and noticed that Inuyasha's clothes seemed as though they were put on in a hurry.
"Inuyasha, what did you and Kagome do?" Inuyasha hit him on the head. "Kagomes gone! We've got to find her! Get your things, we will check the well first." Miroku nodded and rushed inside. He woke Sango and told her everything. She agreed they should check the well first. They grabbed Shippou and Kirara and ran to the well. "Shes been here, her scent is strong." Inuyasha said. "Then she must have went back to her time." Shippou said. "But she didn't say bye."
Inuyasha thought this strange and decided to go after her/ Without another word he jumped into the well after her. After a few seconds he realized that he was still in his time, he couldn't get to her time! *END FLASHBACK*
Miroku would never forget the look on Inuyasha's face as he emerged from the well. The pain on his face was etched into eternity. Inuyasha has not been the same sense. The look, the pain, stays with him. Miroku wondered if Kagome knew the depths of Inuyasha's pain and if she herself felt it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Serenity looked Inuyasha up and down deciding he was a good opponent. She charged at him with her claws. Her attack was much like Inuyasha's but he managed to dodge and hit her in the face. She flew back right threw a tree. Inuyasha smirked. "I'm not through yet!" Serenity said as she slowly rose to her feet. Inuyasha looked at her in surprise. She jumped into the air and used the demonic whip, the same attack as Sesshoumaru, only it was red. Inuyasha managed to block, though he was surprised by the attack he left himself open for her punch. He was sent flying backward and Sango stepped up with her boomerang. "No, Sango stop!" Inuyasha said as he rose to his feet. He wiped some blood from his lip. "This fight is mine." He unsheathed the Tetsusaiga and pointed it right at Serenity. "Kazeno kizu" Inuyasha yelled and swung the attack at her. "Inuyasha stop!" Miroku yelled as he rushed forward. Inuyasha swerved the attack at the last moment. It hit Serenity's side and she fell to the ground. She was barley able to lift herself up and then she was leaning. She placed a hand on her bleeding side and looked at Inuyasha in anger before jumping off.
"Serenity!" Ray yelled as she ran. Sango held him back from going after her. Inuyasha immediately turned to Miroku. "Monk! Why did you stop me from hitting her directly!" Miroku looked at Inuyasha, unsure of what he was going to say. He promised Kagome that he wouldn't tell Inuyasha, now he had to think of a reason real quickly. He mumbled and stuttered something Inuyasha couldn't hear. Inuyasha gave him a weird look and turned around. " She wont get to far. I can smell the thick scent of her blood from here." Miroku looked at Inuyasha angrily, through Inuyasha didn't know why. Ray had a worried look on his face. Though he had just meet her he didn't want to see her hurt. There was something about her that caught his eye. Miroku was sure that it was Serenity the moment he saw her. Now he would have to tell Kagome when they got to the village that her little girl was hurt. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Serenity jumped away as fast as she could. She didn't know exactly what happened or what attack hit her but she was injured and in pain. Her vision was beginning to get blurry and her strength fading. She had lost a lot of blood. When she though she was far enough away she jumped into a huge tree to rest. The branch that she was on gave way and she fell to the ground. "Lie still." She heard a voice say. She felt strong arms pick her up. The last think she saw was long black hair and dark red eyes. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
