((A/N: Ok, *yawn* I've been working on this chapter for about three hours
now. -.- I'm TIRED! Lol. But, I hope you enjoy the newest part of my story.
In this chapter, Kagome tells InuYasha some startling news about his
brother, Sesshomaru. I especially want to thank all of the many wonderful
people who have sent me all the nice reviews. *smiles* You guys ROCK! Give
yourself a bow! Anyway, enjoy!))
~Chapter two~ -Memory of a Better Yesterday: Sesshomaru and the Silver Hairs-
"InuYasha!" Kagome said parking her bike with her usual smile. She went towards the tree where he was resting on one of the lower branches. A cool breeze was blowing that day, making his dawn silver hair sway slightly in the wind. It created a veil over his angry face. "C'mon. You can't just keep sulking here all day. It's bad for your health." She stopped to look up at him, and a giggle nearly passed her lips. "Heh. So what if Shippou beat you at cards three times in a row? You were the one that declared you wouldn't lose to a six year-old and took him on, remember? Besides, we still have more jewel shards to find."
"That's just the point!" he snickered, altering his position in the tree, "he's just a kid and he still won! Feh. Tell the little brat he can play aaaaaallllllllllll to himself next time until his head pops off.for all I care! I'm not moving," he 'hmphed' and said nothing further.
~Maybe bringing that deck with me in my pack wasn't such a good idea after all~ she thought to herself as she sat down on a lower limb.
"InuYasha, stop being stubborn! You know I hate it when you act so difficult. Come down right now. Don't make me say it!" He crossed his arms, not willing to budge. "Say what? You got some kind of 'secret method' that'll make me do whatever you want or something? Pah." He closed his eyes, then a half second later realized-
~OH CRAP!~
"Wait! No!" Kagome crossed her own arms this time. "SIT-boy"
~Too late~ he thought, crashing down to the ground in front of her.
*POW* "Arrrgghh. Whadiga do that for?!" InuYasha slowly sat up. "You wouldn't come down, that's why! But now that you ARE here, I'm not sure if I even want to tell you the important news I brought along with me." She turned her head. "News?" he turning his head away also, "what news?" "The news about your brother!"
The words 'your brother' echoed in his perfect, sensitive ears. It angered him beyond anything. ".Sesshomaru..." he muttered with the up most despise. He glared at the ground in his hate. "YES- Sesshomaru." Kagome reached to the side for her large pack that she had brought along. She fumbled with the many zippers and pouches, looking for a particular something. She didn't smile when she found what she was looking for, then turned to InuYasha. A very small lock of white stranded together in a blue ribbon shimmered in the sun. It caught InuYasha's attention fast enough.
"These small strands of hair were found in a village close by." She held them out for him to smell. He sniffed the hairs over several times and growled deep, deep in his throat, "That's Sesshomaru alright.make no mistake about that."
Her eyes looked saddened as she began to explain. She tucked the strands into her pocket, "Kaede and several of the other villagers were informed of a massacre that happened only two nights ago. They helped to burry a once peaceful neighboring town. There was only one soul survivor, InuYasha." Kagome inhaled deeply, "but even he didn't last very long after because of the great loss of blood. Apparently, from what Kaede was able to gather from the young man before he passed away, a powerful evil spirit suddenly appeared from the sky. It demanded that they hand over their shard of the Shikkon Jewel that they were protecting, and bring the hanyou named 'InuYasha' foward."
"InuYasha?" he asked, turning his head to look at her once more. Kagome nodded. "He must've thought that the village was Kaede's." She continued with her story.
"When the lord of the village refused to comply with this order (especially when he told that he had no idea as to who you were), the demon began to slaughter all at will. The village's warriors were called as soon as the lord's body had been ripped ..however, they didn't manage to last very long themselves. One was so bold as to aim for the demon's head directly, but, he only succeeded in cutting off a few pieces of its hair. His head had been sliced clean off his shoulders before his blow was ever made." She shook slightly from fright.
"When he had killed all of the villagers (save for the boy) and had gotten the piece of the jewel, he took the boy by the throat. Once he had learned that you truly weren't there, he turned the bloody-stained child loose. 'Listen to me closely. Go to the next village. Find an old female that goes by the name Kaede, and deliver this message so that she may give it to the one I am looking for."
"What.what was the message?" InuYasha said with raging nerves. Kagome turned her head and paused. She did not speak for a few moments, too mesmerized by the message herself. ".I'm coming for you, InuYasha."
He stood up. He tightened his fists so much that Kagome feared he might pierce his hand with his claws. ".InuYasha- you ok?" He didn't speak, just glared into the dirt. She got up and placed a hand on his shoulder to comfort him, not meaning to ruin his already downward day. "That.B@$t@rd.." he said at length.
She moved ever so closer, as a mouse would approach a trap, then turned the small hand gesture into a tight embrace. She hugged him gently and rested her head upon his back. It made him jump (a little shocked), but he let her continue. Slowly, he placed his hand on hers. The two stood for some while, each thinking deeply in their own thoughts.
"You know." she said finally breaking the silence, "no matter what happens, I'll always be hear for you InuYasha." She smiled,..as did he.
((A/N: ^_^ heh. So, do you like it? Hmmm. New piece to the big puzzle! What happens next? Will InuYasha and Sesshomaru meet and fight?.....perhaps..hehehe ^_^ you'll have to read more to find out! As for now, I'm signing off to get some much needed rest. Ja matta ne! (Cya later in Japanese. Heh. I'm just learning some!)
WAIT! Where do you think you're going without pushing that review button? And after all of that hard work I just did?!?! WAHHH!!! *cries. Sniffle. Sniffle. Sniffle. Perks up* What's that you say? You're going to reply?! YAY!!! *jumps up and down* Aw, I knew it all along.))
