Chapter Five: Remember Me?
Hehehehe, I think I have a subconscious fetish with long waits between chapters
Well, here it is! CHA!
Rin hugged Sango's arm, "please Sango-chan...............please, wake up," she whispered.
I was falling, falling without anyone to catch me. Falling into darkness, alone and left to die.
But for some reason I couldn't, something deep within my soul pulls me back to earth.
Will I ever be released?
Why I must stay, I can't remember.
Images flicker before my eyes, but they have no meaning.
I don't know, will I ever?
I remember a time when I knew who I was.
I remember a time when I was loved.
Who is that calling my name?
A little girl, tugging at my arm.
Or an older girl screaming from the side lines.
Why are they calling my name?
"Please, Sango-chan, please…………wake up," Rin cried in despair as Emara was behind her.
Rin screamed when Emara placed her hand on the little girls shoulder, Rin flung herself onto Sango, hugging her tightly as more tears stained her face.
Emara smiled.
Wake up? Am I dreaming? It this all a dream?
The faces
And the white phantom
All just a nightmare, lurking within my mind?
A horrid nightmare I must break free of.
Who is crying out my name?
Is it the same person tugging at my arm, I can feel her, but why can't I see her?
Footsteps? Who is coming?
A scream? What is wrong?
Wake up? Wake up and die.
Sango's eyes widened as she quickly became aware of what was going on. Sango hopelessly knocked Emara to the ground, in one final desperate attempt. She urged Rin to go towards the castle.
"Go, run Rin, run and get Lord Sesshomaru………..hurry," pressed Sango, Rin nodded dumbly though concern for Sango's life was held within her eyes.
Rin started to run just as Emara was standing up. Sango snapped her head around and focused on her opponent. Sango leaped to her feet and immediately did a round house kick sending Emara aback.
Emara smirked as she soon came charging at Sango, who dodged and tried to steer Emara into a massive trunk of an old tree. She did so, but suffered a wound in her lift forearm.
The battle continued, soon Sango's flesh was in ribbons and Emara was left untouched. For some reason she was not being wounded, no matter how hard she was attacked.
Emara walked slowly over to the panting Sango, who was leaning awkwardly against a tree, trying to stand.
"You are already out of energy, and soon Rin's sweet soul shall be mine," Emara spoke, her words dripping with venom.
Sango wiped the blood form her lower lip and stood shakily releasing her weight from the tree's side, "I have told you, I can not die," repeated Emara.
Sango grimaced; it seemed that Emara has spoken no lies. But yet something kept pulling harshly in the corner of Sango's mind.
Something Emara had said, something…… her wound to the skull must have done something, but what?
Emara swayed to the wind as she walked towards Sango, slowly savoring each painful moment slipping through time.
Emara was? Was a Dryad? Yes, a Dryad wasn't it? But what was it that dryads did? Sango shut her eyes and tried hard to remember.
Inu Yasha trekked up the high mountain, following the foul scent of his kin. But something else lingered in the air, the smell of blood, freshly spilt. But not just anyone's………..Sango's, Inu yasha hastened his pace and soon reached above the peak of the mountain, and was now in a valley, and in the center was Sango, fallen to her knees surrounded by blood stained grass, thought of to be her own.
Inu Yasha grabbed the hilt of the Tetsugia and bounded to where Sango lay.
I looked up at the twisted face of Emara, she was now standing in front of me, holding up her claws menacingly.
"And now, may you receive the end to your forsaken life," Emara said as she drew back her hand, ready to strike.
Sango closed her eyes, she would accept the end to her life with open arms, but something made Sango open her eyes. Just in time to see a blade slice right through Emara's body, leaving her in two strips of coiled skin. White hair flailed around the avenging warrior, his golden eyes wide open.
"Sango?" said the warrior, as he sheathed his sword.
Sango tried to stand but only found herself back on the ground, the young boy finally aided her as she stood. She didn't know what to say, or what to think, she just starred.
Inu yasha saw Sango's expression of puzzlement, "don't you remember me?" he said, eyes flowing with concern and pain.
Sango just continued to stare her eyes wide; she opened her mouth but did not utter a word.
But a rustle behind them made them turn, once again Emara had risen and this time her eyes burned with rage as she glared at Sango and Inu yasha, and raised her claws and barred her fangs. Roots and branches shot up from the earth.
Rin stumbled into Lord Sesshomaru's study, not even bothering to knock. Her face was tear and blood stained, and her kimono torn and soiled.
Sesshomaru looked up, "what is wrong Rin?" he said, trying to mask his astonishment and concern.
"S-s-sango is still out there!" Rin cried out in despair.
