Hello Everybody!! Thankyu for your reviews!!
Warnings- Nothing special, just in remembrance of the past characters and drama, of course... What would Inuyasha be without drama...?
Chapter 26
You hear the shoji door slide open quickly and close just as fast almost slamming.
You tense as you hear the movement of feet rise and drop against the boards on the floor, stopping a few feet away from the futon. A dark expression crosses your face as you recognize the presence that has just entered the room. 'Inuyasha... That jerk...'
"(Your Name), are you sure you're ok?" The teen asks.
"Yea... I thought you were in the garden what's wrong now?" You ask the distressed girl sitting up.
"Well, I was in the garden looking around, but I think it's better to ask you about it first." The teen says to you and you nod dully for her to go on. "Earlier at the spring I sensed a presence around us so I went after it because I thought it might attack us. I went after it and soon it seemed this person or demons' presence totally disappeared right in front of me." She finishes with a serious expression seeing a disbelieving look pass across your face.
"The same thing happened to me! But, I was attacked by a bunch of demons first, but they didn't seem to be actually after me though. I went looking for you and Inuyasha and I heard it and followed it! After a while it led me to... Inuyasha... And disappeared..." You say lowering your gaze to the floor in remembrance. Naomi nods in reply and walks closer towards you.
"Yea, so I came to ask if you noticed this presence before because it's been around you ever since we met." She says and you shake your head gesturing a no. "I thought so, but anyways (Your Name), what happened with Inuyasha this time?" She asks softly and you raise your head and look away.
"I-um, we-"You get cut off from your fumble of words as the shoji door slides open once again.
"(Your Name)!" You blink and frown as a startled Inuyasha enters the room not finishing his sentence when he sees Naomi. Slowly looking between you and Inuyasha, Naomi smiles softly and backs away toward the exit of the room.
"Well, I gotta go check up on something, see you later, (Your Name), Inuyasha!" The other teen says exiting the room.
After the shoji door slides close you shift positions from facing the door to the opposite side of the room. You scoot to the edge of the futon as you hear footsteps walking towards you. The futon weights shift and you feel a clawed hand run through your hair, down your back, sending a chill down your spine at the touch. You sigh irritably and make a move to get up, but get pulled down as a hand catches your own.
"(Your Name)-" The dog-boy starts to speak, but you cut him off.
"Inuyasha... I don't wanna hear it..." You say curtly trying to get as far as you can from the dog-boy's touch.
"I just want to tell you what happened-"
"I know what you're going to say already. Kikyo just showed up out of nowhere and nothing's going on between you two." You say side-glancing at the dog-boy. "Wasn't that what you were going to say Inuyasha?" You ask lightly to the dog-boy who frowns back bemused.
You sigh and get up pulling your hand out of his grasp and heading towards the exit. Just when you're about a few steps from the outside a hand reaches out and wraps around your wrist tightly.
"Inuyasha let go!" You try to pull your wrist out of the dog boy's unrelenting grasp.
"No and I wasn't going to say that!"
"It doesn't matter because I know it's not true anyway!" You mutter quietly and glaring at the door.
"What do you mean?" He asks.
"I know it's not true..." You repeat darkly recalling past happenings. "What you say about you and Kikyo, it's not true..."
5 Hours Earlier
Sunlight filters down through cracks between a trees' canopy onto a fox-boy and fair-haired girl who leisurely walks through the forest shrubs. The fox-boy carrying wood and the blonde once in a while bending down and picking up special pieces of plants. The fox-boy yawns and scratches behind his ear.
"I wonder what's taking Inuyasha and (Your Name) so long..." The fox-child wonders out loud.
"They probably ran into trouble while trying to find the next village..." The blonde, Adira replies standing up straight. "But, you shouldn't worry about them, I'm sure they're fine." The blonde says smiling down at the fox.
"Yeah, but I'm not worrying!" Shippou counters huffily.
"Right, lets get back to the village, alright?" Adira replies looking off in the direction of the village.
"Ok, but-"Shippou's sentence is cut short from a voice lurking behind them.
"Leaving so soon? Lady Adira?" A smooth voice says behind them. The startled two turns around to find a tall, slim demon in human-form, approaching them from out of the shadows.
"W-who are you? How do you know my name?!" The surprised blonde asks the demon, who is now half seen and out of the shadows.
"Dear, dear Adira you should know the person who has helped to resurrect you... But, you don't remember do you?" The demons' smirk widens when he sees the shocked expressions on the blonde's and fox's face. "But, since you've forgotten, I'll tell you again and this time I'm sure you definitely won't forget!" The demon stops a few feet away from the two grinning as a strange glint appeared in his emerald eyes.
"My name... Is Kurayami and to this day forward, Lady Adira you will remember your past!!" He yells as his eyes started to glow a blinding, white light enveloping the blonde, but throwing the fox backwards a few yards.
"Adiraaa!!"
Present Time
"Just let me go already..." You say dejectedly.
"(Your Name)... How can you say this now?" The dog-boy asks quietly.
".... Because I-I know I'm right now... Just seeing her today with you... I didn't think I was right then, but now I'm sure..." You mutter.
"How are you so sure now?"
"I just am! Even though you say nothing's going between you and Kikyo doesn't mean you wouldn't rather be with her even in her current state than with me! I don't know much about what happened then, but I know it must have had something to do with Kagome that day!" You yell finally looking the dog-boy in the face. "And if you'd wanted be with me so much why would you leave to find Kikyo?!"
"If I wanted to be with Kikyo more than you, I'd be with her right now instead of here with you trying to explain why I'm with you now and not with her, while trying to understand why the hell you're doing this shit now! But, believe me; hell is looking pretty good right now!" He yells back.
"And I'm sure Kikyo would take you there any day..." You mutter.
"And I told you before, I do not go to Kikyo, she finds me! And besides why don't you trust me?! I told you nothing was going on between us, why can't you believe me?" You freeze at Inuyasha's sudden inquiry.
"Inuyasha! I do trust, but-"
"But what? If you trust me, why can't you trust me about this?" He asks looking you in the eye. A silence floods through the room as your left wordless and Inuyasha waits for an answer.
"... Inuyasha, I-"
"Miss (Your Name), Mr. Inuyasha if you're in there, please evacuate your room because the castle is being attacked and I was just informed that it might collapse!" An urgent voice cuts you from behind the shoji door belonging to the castle assistant. You sigh as you start to finish your sentence once again.
"Inuyasha-"
"We'll talk later." He cuts you off walking pass you and out the room. You sigh as you slowly follow behind. So much for apologies and confessions, hopefully later would come soon.
"Miss (Your Name), please hurry I do not know how much time we have." The brunette castle assistant, Gyki urges.
You three continue through the castle now and then running into the said attackers that were low level demons that just seemed to be wandering around and were easily taken care of. Sooner or later you three reach the middle of the castle where Gyki stops.
"This is as far as I can lead you guys, but I believe you two should know where the exits are?" He asks and you nod. "Alright, well I'm sorry for you guys to be caught in the middle of this, but hopefully I'll see you guys again someday, goodbye!" The castle assistant says hurriedly and dashes away.
As the castle assistant disappears running into a distant room, quake travels throughout the room making you lose your balance and Inuyasha grabs your hand stopping you from falling and continues to drag you in the direction of the exit.

Banzai!!!! I'm sorry for the late updating, but the story is finally moving, yes? And to have an explanation to why I haven't updated, my labtop broke down, my muse died, I lost my backup disk, but I found a new muse, school started again, I rewrote this chapter 5 times and currently my internet connection is on the frits so I can't check my mail... But, anyways, I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter! And I hope I'm not making the "you" character look bad...
Yes, and speaking of that part I don't mean to make the "you" character look bad, because the ability to trust is one of her flaws. Like in the real world a person isn't going to time and time again fall for the same stuff over and over, like an idiot not picking up any experience.
Ja!
