Disclaimer – I do not own Inuyasha and company. Although, I'm borrowing them for this fantic. But I do own Yukita!
Okay, I haven't updated in a LONG while. I've been thinking about putting parts 1, 2, and 3. But, if I do so, my ideas will be like this:
1 – (this one) the curse
2 – kidnapping stuff
3 – all get changed into kiddies
Yeah well, tell me if I should do so! I'll hopefully be updating more often and not be those ol' lazy peeps.
Anyways, last time….
Inuyasha looked angry, but his expression was soon changed to a look of disgust. "There's two demons close by. Get Miroku and Sango, Kagome!" said Inuyasha to Kagome.
Kagome nodded, told Sango and Miroku to get outside, got her bow and arrows and rushed outside. Sesshomaru walked inside, being a helpless bystander in the fight. Inuyasha had his Tetsusaiga ready.
"Show yourselves!" yelled Inuyasha.
The Young Demoness, Yukita
"Kagura, watch over Kikyo."
"No! She can watch over herself. I will go," argued Kagura. She was in a dark, gloomy castle filled with miasa, which was undoubtfully, Naraku's lair. Kikyo was in the dungeons, chained up by her arms and legs, and had a stone collar on her neck, to make sure she didn't use her miko powers to escape.
"Stop it Kagura! There is no point in arguing." Naraku snarled. 'Foolish woman.'
"Naraku! I do not wish to be with you any longer!" she did her 'Wind Blades' attack, but Naraku lifted her up in the air by her throat.
"Listen to me, Kagura. You and Kanna-" he pointed towards a pale, white girl with a mirror. She looked like an angel, but was under Naraku's orders. She was no angel. "Will watch over Kikyo until I come back. You may take off her chains for now. Take off her collar if I come back and am in need of healing. Don't forget, I do hold your life in my hands. Literally." He squeezed on a red stone and Kagura clutched her chest.
"Yes, Naraku…" she growled. 'I hate you Naraku, you evil bastard. I will kill you if it is the last thing I do…' With that, she walked towards the dungeons.
Inuyasha sniffed. "Hm…I (sniff) smell (sniff) blood…" with that, he ran into the woods carrying Kagome on his back. He went wherever his nose led him.
When Inuyasha stopped, Kagome was in total shock.
"Miroku… should we follow? I mean, they might need our help…" Sango was worried about her best friend, who was a sister that she never had.
"Hmm, I think they can handle themselves. We should really stay here and protect the village." Miroku faced 10 feet away from the field, in shock. 'Hmm, Naraku. He's up to no good. We SHOULD stay here. This might get messy…' He faced to Sesshomaru, who was leaning on a tree. "Oi, Sesshomaru! Get in the hut! Naraku is coming closer!"
"Umm….Miroku, do you think that's a good idea…?" Sango whispered. 'Hmm…I mean, I'm glad that Sesshomaru's human for the most part. One, he can't kill me. Two, he's a bit calmer. Three, he's sort of being nicer to me…Well, he's still the arrogant cold-hearted idiot of all time. It's his temper-' Sango snapped back into reality and noticed Miroku and Sesshomaru fighting, words only to her relief.
"I will not stay inside." Sesshomaru growled.
"I don't care. You are in no condition to fight!"
"I will not listen to your insolence!"
"Get inside NOW."
"This Lord Sesshomaru does not listen to humans, especially perverted monks!"
"Well this Miroku doesn't care! Get your rear in gear and get inside!"
"…Where did you get that phrase from? I've never heard of it before…" Sesshomaru quickly went out of that thought and went to violence. He held Miroku in the air by the throat. "If you order me around anymore, houshi, when I get back to my youkai self, I will rip your flesh with my claws and you shall die a slow and painful death. Do I make myself clear?"
'Miroku…!'"Please do not kill him!" Sango yelled. As lecherous that he may be, she still didn't want him dead.
Sesshomaru completely ignored the tajiya.
"Uhh, yes Lord Sesshomaru. By the way, Lady Kagome told me of that phrase. Excuse me Lord Sesshomaru, I (pant) can't (pant) breathe…."
Sesshomaru let go of him, but to his surprise, Miroku shoved him in the hut and let Kaede deal with him. Miroku moved right up to Sango.
"Glad you cared, Lady Sango…" Just as he went to feel her behind, she slapped him hard on the cheek, so he had a red handprint.
"No lecherous tricks, Miroku. This is serious. I hate to admit it though, but we should stay." Miroku nodded in agreement and raised his staff.
"Oh my god, she looks so much like Sesshomaru! She is so adorable! Inuyasha, you have to help her!" Kagome then heard quite a familiar sound of a hand meeting a cheek. 'Oh Miroku, when will you learn?'
"Feh, she DOES look familiar. But she is a youkai, so she should handle him alright." Inuyasha sighed and peeked out to see the battle ahead.
There was a demon-puppet Naraku. (A/N – No d'uh!) There was also a little youkai girl who was trying to fight him off. She was little, probably around 8 human years old, had silver hair and her pink kimono with white flowers was ripped and was bloodstained. She had two swords. One sheath was pink, while the other was a light blue.
'Grr, why can't I see her face!?! She seems so familiar, but I can't say that until I see her face!"
Naraku shot out his tentacle (thingies, don't know what they actually are) and sliced her side. She fell to the ground and clutched her side. Naraku picked her up and threw her against a tree. Luckily, it was on the other side of the clearing. Naraku went to face Inuyasha.
'No! He found us!' Inuyasha thought. He did a mental growl in frustration.
"No need to hide, Inuyasha. You can come out and see this little youkai's death. What a shame, so pretty and royal too…" Naraku ran up to her, grabbed her by the neck and went in the middle of the clearing. "Come on out, Inuyasha. I can smell you. Bring you're wench too, or I'll have to bring you to me."
'Oh no, if Inuyasha goes out, he'll get hurt! I have to do something…but, what?' Kagome's eyes darted to her bow and arrow that was on the grass behind her. 'Aww, only one left. This better hit! Here I go!' She got her arrow aimed at Naraku, let her purifying energy into the arrow, and fired. Inuyasha was at total shock at her actions and watched Naraku.
Luckily, her arrow went straight for Naraku's face, making him bleed heavily. He growled in pain. He dropped the girl and fled.
"Oh boy, I have a feeling we're going to see him, again…" mumbled Kagome. She went into the clearing to identify the girl.
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR, WENCH?" Inuyasha ran into the clearing and pulled onto Kagome's sleeve. "If you missed, you could have hit the girl, let alone get us spotted and killed!"
"Inuyasha…He already knew we were there. Plus, if you may have not noticed, I have improved on my archery. SIT BOY!" she yelled. She bent down next to the girl, turned her over and gasped. "Omg! Uhh, Inuyasha…Come here for a moment…you might want to see this…"
"Feh, whatever." He bent down next to Kagome to take in the 'mystery' girl's apperance. Inuyasha let out a gasp. She had the silver hair, golden eyes, blue crescent moon on her forehead and two maroon slashes on her cheeks. He pulled out a pouch containing 5 jewel shard pieces that were in her pocket. "No wonder he went after her. And, she looks like Sesshomaru's twin!"
Kagome was still gaping at her, so Inuyasha picked up the little youkai in his arms and walked out of the clearing. She was unconscious.
"Inuyasha! Wait up for me!" Kagome ran to Inuyasha, who stopped and went into a crouching position to let her on his back. "Are you crazy!?! I don't think you can handle so much weight!"
Inuyasha stared at Kagome, so their noses were almost touching. "So, you're saying your heavy?"
"WHAT!" Kagome stuttered while Inuyasha walked back to the hut. "Inuyasha, wait up! STOP! Hey!!! Si-"
"I wouldn't do that if I were you…you would hurt the little youkai even more. So hurry up and get your butt over here!" Inuyasha ran full speed to the hut, with a panting Kagome behind him.
"Inuyasha, we should hide her from Sesshomaru. He might get worried…" Kagome said.
"Feh, I guess you're right." Inuyasha slid her in his arms so her face was facing his chest. 'There, now he can't see her face. She must be related to Lord Fluffykins to have the same crescent and markings…'
"Hmm? Hide what from me?" Inuyasha and Kagome were startled and looked up to see a human Sesshomaru raising a brow. (A/N – Okay, I see that I haven't really explained what he looks like in human form. So, lets see. He has long black hair, violet eyes, no markings, and the same clothes. Kay?)
"Uh…"Kagome was lost for words. But Inuyasha jumped in.
"We found a girl –youkai- who was getting attacked by Naraku, so were helpin her. Got a problem? Now move outta my way!" He tried to get around Sesshomaru, but he would move in front of him. This Sesshomaru wanted to see who she was. "MOVE!" Inuyasha yelled in his ear. While Sesshomaru was almost going deaf, Inuyasha jumped over him and into the hut.
"Umm Sesshomaru, if you don't mind, we are going to tend to her wounds and change her. It'll be best for you to stay outside. I'll-I'll go get Inuyasha out." Kagome half-ran, half-walked to the hut, but a hand was on her sleeve, tugging her back. She looked into Sesshomaru's violet orbs.
"There is nothing I haven't seen before."
"Uhh…" Kagome was lost for words. 'Come on Kagome-girl, think of something!' "If she woke up, she wouldn't be happy to see a male looking at her. It'd be best for her to see females. R-Right Sango?" Kagome grabbed Sango beside her and nudged her in the arm. Sango glanced around. Miroku was lying in the grass watching the clouds. And Shippo was pouting outside the hut.
"Uhh, right! So you just stay out here and…talk to Miroku!" she shoved Sesshomaru to Miroku and the two girls ran inside.
'Hmm? What strange females. I do not understand them. And I do not trust that monk.' Sesshomaru sat under a tree, waiting for his half-brother to come out so he can annoy him. 'What fun will I have….Lets see, what can I do for him..?'
Just then Inuyasha stormed out of the hut. Sesshomaru smirked, the fun is just getting started.
Sango, Kagome and Kaede wrapped up the little youkai's arms, legs and stomach. She was hurt, looked in alotta pain, but it wasn't life threatening. It took half an hour and it was around 3:00pm, but their day wasn't completely wasted.
"Kaede, do you think she's related to Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked.
"Well, to be entirely truthful, I think she is. Ye see, when I was younger, Kikyo told me all about the western lands…" So Kaede started telling them about her conversation.
Flashback
"Kikyo, who is that half-demon you hang around with?" little Kaede asked, her eyes on her elder sister. She was little and wanted to know more about the hanyou.
"Oh, he is the half-brother of Sesshomaru, the lord of the western lands. The two don't get along very well. His name is Inuyasha, and is very nice, but his parents passed away a long time ago."
"Oh. Does he have any other siblings? It wouldn't be too pleasant if his parents are gone and his brother treats him poorly." Little Kaede felt sad for this Inuyasha.
"Well, I heard of a rumor, although I believe it 100. Father told me that InuTashio, who is Inuyasha and Lord Sesshomaru's father, had three children. The oldest was Sesshomaru. Then he had another child, this time a female demon, and is said to look exactly like him. Her name was Yukita. Then, the mother died, so he mated with a human and Inuyasha was born. They were a big happy family, except for Sesshomaru and Yukita being angry with their mother passing away. Yukita got over it and played with Inuyasha, while Sesshomaru did not."
"Sister Kikyo, why is it a rumor?"
"Well little one, some say that Yukita ran away at the age of five and died on her journeys. Others say that she is still alive, but regrets running away and is trying to find Lord Sesshomaru to this day."
"Wow, that's interesting. I hope she finds him soon!" little Kaede ran outside.
End of Flashback
Kaede took in a deep breath. Sango and Kagome both thought this was the girl, Yukita. Kagome sighed. "I just wish she would wake up so we can ask her a few questions…"
The little youkai fidgeted in her sleep. "Sess…" She jumped up, wide-eyed, freaking out Sango and Kagome.
"Ahh! You scared me half to death!" Sango exclaimed and jumped back. The little demoness winced in pain. A warm hand touched her shoulder, and she saw a girl in a white shirt and a green skirt. She had long ebony hair.
"Its okay. Don't move, it'll only hurt more. Now, what's your name?" Kagome questioned calmly.
"I-I have to find someone!" she said, rushing to stand up.
"How foolish, ye are in pain. Please, just wait til ye are healed and changed." Kaede said, reassuring the frightened girl. So Kagome and Sango dressed her, and noticed that she was fully healed.
"Wow, you heal fast! It looks like you can go in no time. But please, stay here for a while." Kagome said gently.
"But I really have to go. I thank you!" she bowed and rushed out the door before anybody could say a word. But, she stumbled in somebody who had long black hair, violet eyes, and a white haori…"Umm, excuse me, sir. I have to get going." The little demoness, not knowing that the person she was searching for was right in front of her, went to move around. She didn't move her head up, because she was made fun of in her traveling. When he spoke, she was in shock and didn't move an inch.
"Foolish youkai. Who are you and where are you going?" Sesshomaru questioned. He was the one she stumbled into, and was in the doorway. His eyes were on the little youkai with silver hair.
She was silent, and moved her eyes up slowly. 'Stupid Yukita, stupid stupid stupid! (mental hit on the head). That can't be Sesshy, this guy's a human. But, he has the same clothing. Better ask…' "Umm, do you happen to be named Sess-Sesshomaru?"
"LORD Sesshomaru, but yes."
She jumped for joy and hugged his knees. Sesshomaru almost fell backward with the sudden gesture, but he managed to stand. He glared at the females in the hut who were giggling. He moved away from the girl and gestured everybody to follow. 'Hmm, those markings…She might be – No, she can't be. She's been dead for years.' "You have explaining to do."
Everybody, including Kaede, followed the two out of the hut. Miroku, Shippo, and Inuyasha followed. Boy, did she have explaining to do!
Naraku stepped in the castle and walked into the dining hall in pain. He winced slightly, and was making a bloody mess on the dungeon floor. He was an inch from death, and required the priestess' healing powers to revive him. That or, he could get the miko to turn Sesshomaru back into a demon, catch him, and make him use the Tenseiga. 'Nah, that'll be too much work,' He followed the pathway, holding onto the stone walls for support and entered a room. It had golden candles on tables and a giant wooden table in the center. It had an assortment of food. At the table was Kagura, Kanna and Kikyo.
"Master Naraku, you have wounds," said Kanna in her usual monotone, stating the obvious.
"Yes I do. Kikyo, I need your help. Heal me."
"Never!!!"
"Fine, you and Kagura will go near Inuyasha's Forest. Get your reincarnation's jewel shards, and capture Sesshomaru. You will return shortly. Kagura, if you have any difficulty with Kikyo, you may do as you please with her." With that, Naraku stepped out of the room and up the stairs. He needed time to heal.
Five minutes passed and everybody was sitting beside a lake. They all had questions to ask the mysterious little youkai girl.
"So, I guess I need to explain myself?" she sighed. Everybody nodded. "This will take a while…make yourself comfortable. Okay, what do you need to know?"
Inuyasha was the first one to ask a question. "Who are you?"
"Hmm, first of all, who are you?" She pointed to Inuyasha and Sesshomaru. "I know you two, but nobody else."
"Stupid wench, we are the ones asking questions!" Inuyasha sputtered out.
"Shut up hanyou."
"Well, I am Kagome. This is Sango, a demon exterminator." She pointed to Sango, and from the worried glance from the girl, she quickly added on. "But don't worry. She won't hurt you. This is Miroku the monk-"
"He's a pervert."
"Yeah well, watch out for him. And this is Shippo-"
"The annoying brat!" said Inuyasha. Kagome rolled her eyes. "So, who are you?"
"My name is Yukita. I am a youkai, as you all can tell. I believe you found me when an evil hanyou, by the name of Naraku, attacked me. Again, thanks for helping me."
Sesshomaru glanced at her unsurprised. "So, this is my little sister, Yuki, who has somehow survived who knows how many years, and manages to look very young. Tell me, what did you do?"
"LITTLE SISTER? But, that means….One minute while I figure this out," he put his finger on his chin, while everybody did a sweatdrop. After two minutes of waiting and bored faces, he spoke again. "That this brat is my half-sister!?! Feh, I'll have fun with this little brat-" Inuyasha said, cracking his knuckles.
"Excuse me? I'm older than you."
"WHAT!!!"
Yukita sighed. "I am Sesshomaru's sister, and Inuyasha's half-sister. When I was very young, around 7 human years old, I felt ignored. Father always worked, and when he had spare time, he trained Sesshomaru. Mother always looked after Inuyasha. So I was always by myself. One day, I decided to run away, so I also took these two swords that Father was keeping for me until I was older. One is the Healing Sword, the one in the blue sheath, and the other is a regular sword, in the pink sheath. I've never heard of the names before. I'll have to make names up sooner or later."
"Were they both made from Father's fang?" questioned Sesshomaru.
"Yes. Anyways, I traveled around for a couple months and soon regretted running away. Every village was afraid of me, and I wanted to see Sesshomaru again. After years, I came across a village that has a priestess named Kikyo. She cared for me and felt sorry for me. She had a little sister named Kaede, who I rarely saw. Lady Kikyo put a spell for me to live longer, and to keep my human 8-year-old figure until I found Sesshomaru again. I've searched for years."
"Feh, but ya could've found him easily with your senses!"
Yukita sighed. "Yes, but most of the time I felt shy and didn't want to bother him. Naraku and Kagura always kept me busy. I've also collected a few jewel shards…" she dug into her pocket. "Hey! They're gone! Oh well. And now I've found you!" she ran over and hugged Sesshomaru again, who just sighed.
"Sesshomaru, doesn't she remind you of Rin?" asked Kagome, who had fully understood what the girl meant.
"Yes, I suppose…" 'Of course she does! I thought I would never see her again…'
"Yuki, so since you've found Sesshomaru, will you turn back to your regular age or just continue from here?" questioned Sango. She wanted to stay with her for a long time, because they have started to be friendly.
"Hmph, of course. She will continue to age from here, unless I destroy the spell. Sorry to interrupt this reunion, but I really need to be getting somebody here." Kikyo came into the clearing. She shot an arrow at Sesshomaru who dodged it. But before anybody could say 'Watch Out!', Kagura ran from behind and picked up Sesshomaru.
"Excellent. Naraku will be pleased. Now he's human, he will be easier to take down," snickered Kagura. She threw him on the ground and Kikyo put vines around him.
"Seem familiar, Lord Sesshomaru?" Kikyo said coolly. Unknown to her and Kagura who were too busy with Sesshomaru, Inuyasha was making his move.
"WIND SCAR!" Inuyasha did his weakest attack while Yukita grabbed Sesshomaru. Kagura and Kikyo were stunned. They were bleeding very badly, and Kikyo's wounds looked life threatening.
"Curse you, Inuyasha." Kagura said, who was trying to stop the flow of blood. She pulled out her feather, grabbed Kikyo and flew away.
"Feh, no point in following," stated Inuyasha, who walked towards Yukita and Sesshomaru.
Yukita had saved her elder brother, even though he was covered in vines. Yes, she got stabbed in a couple places in the progress, and was bleeding, but it would only take an hour to heal. That, of course, was nothing compared to Sesshomaru's wounds. She ripped off a bit of material from the bottom of her own kimono and tended his wounds temporarily. She also picked out all the thorns from his flesh. "There, that'll be good for until we get back to the hut. You will need a new haori as well. Can you stand?"
Sesshomaru tried to get up, but the pain was too immense for a human, that he plopped on the ground. But, his head fell on Yukita's lap. He managed a weak smile, causing everybody but Yukita to be in shock.
"Inuyasha! Carry Sesshomaru!" Yukita hollered. She got a "Feh!" in response a minute later after everybody was out of shock and he came over.
"I will…not be carried…by a worthless…hanyou…"
'Wow, even in pain, he hates Inuyasha. But, it's for his own good…' Yukita hit Sesshomaru in the head so he was unconscious. Inuyasha chuckled at this, and carried him back to the hut.
Kikyo and Kagura stepped into Naraku's bedroom. It was red and black with stone walls. The red was the blood. There was a bed in the center, with Naraku in it. Kagura was helping Kikyo stand.
"You have failed me! I knew I couldn't trust you two!" Naraku yelled. He threw a vase at the door and they rushed out.
Kagura stepped back in, cautiously. "Naraku, if you didn't trust US, why did you tell US to go?" she said.
"Ask any more questions and I will end your life! Go get Kikyo healed as soon as possible. She is to return to them in two hours time and retrieve Yukita!" He threw another vase, and Kagura left slamming the door shut behind her.
A/N – Yay! I've finished another chapter! Woohoo! I will hopefully update sometime soon. I have a brief dictionary for the Japanese words in this:
Hanyou – half demon Houshi - Monk
Youkai – full demon Haori/Kimono – Clothing (robes)
Tajiya – demon exterminator
Hopefully that's all. I will tell you of more stuff later on. Hopefully I'll update soon!
