A SILVER HOPE
CHAPTER FOURTEEN:
.....Rain Will Fall From The Skies....
Ali was sitting on a fence looking kinda depressed, she hated not being able to run about with the others,
she looked down at her leg which was wrapped up tightly and had a splint. However, the others didn't make her feel
like she was a burden, they actually would just hang out with her if she was in too much pain or would just sit around
and talk, which is something they hadn't done for a while...It had been a calm day and everyone was starting to wined
down and get ready for bed when shippou came running up to them, looking distraught.
Shippou: It's been three days! why hasn't holly come back?
Ali: her parents are probably holding her captive.
sango: why would they do that?
Ali: because they would.
Miroku: they must care alot about her or...
Ali: they don't want her to have any fun.
Kagome: she'll be back...
shippou: what if she doesn't come back...
Ali: then she doesn't come back and no one will be able to change her mind.
Sango: that would be so horrible.
Miroku: I agree, a terrible waste of....
Ali: anyways, we shouldn't worry about her.
Kagome: that's right. let's give her at least another day to come back.
Ali: sigh...and if she's not, then i'll go back and find out what her problem is. happy?
Shippou: yah! thanks. so..if she's not back by tomorrow night?
Miroku: hmmmm...
Ali: I'm going to bed, I'll see you all in the morning.
Miroku: would you like me to walk you to your room?
Ali: that's very nice of you, but i'm sure I'll be fine.
She walked away as best she could and was glad to be in a room away from the others. She was aout to head to
sleep when she noticed someone else in the room. Ali lept back and yelped in pain as she put weight on her bad leg.
She then glared dangerously at the person who was in the room, while she tried to regain her balance.
Ali: What Are You Doing Here!?
Inuyasha: stares.....
Ali: What!?
Inuyasha:...you're worried...
Ali: About What?
Inuyasha: .....
Ali: I'm not worried about that...that...Demon loving freak...
Inuyasha: ....
Ali: I'm not...now go...I want to sleep...I no longer wish to talk to you tonight.
Inuyasha gave Ali a strange look before leaving her room, she huffed as she tried to think of what would possess
Inuyasha to act so strange. Ali laid on the blanket on the floor and looked up at the roof. She wasn't worried, she knew
better and she was just greatly annoyed at the whole idea. She rolled over and groaned, now she wouldn't be able to sleep
and would be up thinking things over all night.
Ali: I'M NOT WORRIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She sat up and looked at the wall opposite of her in the dark and just let her mind work itself to sleep. Eventually
she laid back down and was able to finally fall asleep, into a dreamless dark sleep...
It was late at night and the moon slowly crept across the clearing, holly started to wake up when she heard someone
speaking. It was the wolf-demon twins, Lupin and Luna, it appeared that they were arguing about something. Holly wanted
to listen in so she pretended to still be asleep.
Luna: I don't care...I thought you said that we'd be better off...
Lupin: and we are...
Luna: pft. I'm starving and freezing to death every day! not to mension I look like some Bush demon who never cleans
themselves.It's driving me insane...
Lupin: we just need to get back on our feet.
Luna: and start our own clan, yaya, I know...
Lupin: exactly. and it's all starting to take shape, just as we planned.
luna: what? oh, you mean her? she doesn't want to join us...I think she's better off in our bellies...
Lupin: if that's how you're going to treat one of your kind...
Luna: OUR KIND!? she looks nothing like us...
Lupin: That may be true...but she is a demon...
Luna: pretty whimpy demon...lets a few mangy wolf demons capture her...hmph.
Lupin: don't under estimate those you don't know. she could be extremly powerful and we may just think she's whimpy...
Luna: or...she's extremly tasty and the only way to know is if we eat her...
Lupin: NO! I said we're not going to eat her, so we're not going to eat her. I have...plans...
Luna; ew...But I'm hungry now!
Lupin: fine! we'll go hunting!
Luna: and what are we going to do with her?
Holly heard Lupin walk over and she pretended to slowly wake up and even managed a rather convincing yawn. she
looked up at Lupin with round eyes before making them focuse, it was a good way to make him think she was kinda out of
it.
Holly: oh...Hi...
Lupin: will you be a good little companion and stay here while we go hunting? not like you have much of a choice anyways...
Holly: hmmm...I don't feel so well...is it alright if i just lay here for now.? I'm really sleepy...and...oooohhhhhh...
Lupin: fine...we'll be back in one hour.
Holly: I'll be here, sound a sleep...
Lupin nodded but his sister watched Holly skeptically...holly just smiled and laid on the ground, it was getting cold and
it sent chivers down her spine. she pretended to doze off,but kept bitting her tongue to keep her awake.
Luna: I don't trust her.
Lupin: it'll be fine...if she tries to excape we'll know. besides, see those vines around her? only another wolf demon can
break them off of her, and we're the only ones around here.
Luna: ah, but...stomache growls
Lupin: let's find something to eat before you want to eat me as well...
Luna; fine...you do look juicy...
Lupin: stop it!
Holly kept her eyes partially open and she watched as the two demons vanished into the forest. She waited ten
minutes before standing up and streatching, she grabbed the thorny collar and gave a hard yank. She yelped and looked
at her hand, it was cut up and bleeding...She growled as she saw that all her stuff was just out of reach. Not knowing
what to do, Holly paced back and forth, like a tiger locked in a cage too small for it. Suddenly she heard a noise come
from the cave, she looked scared and pressed herself as far as she could against the trees. Out stepped a woman with
reddish hair and green bangs, she turned to holly and smiled brightly. Holly nearly collapsed, she reconized this woman,
it was odd though as if from a foggy dream, and for some reason Holly couldn't form two words to save her life...she just
made herself look like a total jerk...
Anna: well...this' been a long over due visit...Only I wasn't really expecting to find you here...In fact...I'm on the run...but,
I should have a few minutes to talk to you...oh, it's been so long....How have you been?
Holly was still speachless and slowly pulled herself away from the trees, she looked at the woman as if not
believing her own eyes, she was almost afraid to blink...but then she smacked herself the and woman looked almost
frightened.
anna: oh! are you alright? why'd you do that?
again, holly said nothing, but she had to convince herself that the woman who now stood in front of her was not
one of her old and most dearest friends, it would be impossible...improbable...Holly sighed and collapsed to her knees
and just started at the dirt. The woman tilted her head and was about to say something when suddenly a very powerful
wind seemed to pick up and Holly had to cover her face from the sand and dirt that was pelting her.
Anna: oh no...he's caught up to me...
Holly: who...
but at that moment something came flying out of the cave and lept at the woman, she gave Holly a wink before
totally disappearing, the thing crashed to the ground and came to a skidding hault. Holly, now in a ball to save herself
from pain, slowly looked up.
Koga: Where is she....
Holly lept back and landed on her spine, she tried to sneak into Lupin and Luna's little cove without being spotted,
but unfortunatly she was spotted and Koga looked at her with dark eyes.
Koga: Where did you hide that wrench?
Holly: me?
Koga: yes you...
Holly: I didn't do anything with her...
Koga: hmph...right...she's here, I can smell her...
Holly was looking uneasy, she wanted to get away, as much as she loved the fact that she just met Koga...he was
in a bad mood, and she'd noticed that when someone around here was in a bad mood, it was death all around...
Holly: can you help me?
Koga: hmmm?
Holly: please? I'm being held here against my will...I'll do anything you want...
Koga: what do I want with a...what are you...
Holly: I'm...a wolf...
Koga: funny, you don't look like one...but you smell like one...
Holly leaned back as Koga moved closer to her, he was inspecting her as if seeing if it was some trick...she tried
to smile and just look at something else...
Holly: um...do you mind?
Koga: no...I don't...
holly: if you help me, i'll help you? please...before they get back...
Koga: hmmmm...
but it was too late for at that moment Lupin and Luna came bounding into the clearing looking like they were ready to
tear someone's heart out. they looked from Holly to Koga and back again...Koga looked unamused by their untimely
appearance...
Luna: it's you...
Lupin: what are you doing here?
Koga: heh. I was after some witch but I stumpled upon your...what do you call this...a nest?
Lupin: this' were we're making our own pack...
Koga: is that so...
Luna: yeah...want to join us?
Koga: egh...no, I have my own pack...
Lupin: Luna...we're fine as we are right now...the three of us...
Koga: hmmmm...at lest you are...I don't know about this one...
Lupin: what have you been telling him?
Luna: traitor!
Luna lept at holly and the two crashed to the ground, holly was at a disadvantage as she couldn't move easily due
to the vine that bound her...
Holly: Ack! Help...me...
Lupin: you deserve it...but don't kill her...
Luna: I'm going to kill her...
Lupin: hmmm...
Again the winds picked up, even worse then before and there was a loud buzzing sound heading straight towards the
clearing...Luna stopped trying to kill holly as the four looked sky wards...
Kagura: well, well...isn't this a party...
Lupin: what do you want...
Kagura: me? who said I wanted anything...
Lupin: fine...what does Naraku want?
Kagura: hmmm...to see you die a most horrible death...he's not too thrilled that you two left the clan...
Lupin: we did it to be free...
Kagura: sadly, that's one thing you'll never be...
Lupin: what...
Kagura: Now...what shall I do to you...all of you, since you have...
Koga: I'm going to rip your throat out...
Kagura: go a head and try...
Koga lept into the air, but Kagura created a wind storm so strong that Koga was thrown against the cave and he
collapsed in a heap at the base of it.
Kagura: see? that's what you get...stupid wolf...
Holly: leave him alone!
Kagura: huh...who...
She was hit by something invisible, and she lept to safety looking around for whatever attacked her...
Kagura: what was that...
Lupin: you mean...you didn't...
Kagura: I saw nothing...
Again she was hit with something, this time she tried to counter, but just felt air...as if nothing was there...
Kagura; It can't be a spirit...I'd be able to see it...
"would you Kagura? the moon's still full...you shouldn't mess with things you can't understand..."
Kagura: what the hell...show yourself...
"oh, silly,silly Kagura...I'm unable to show myself to you, because you are unworthy..."
Kagura: ...wha...who are you...
"I am...the one who judges souls..."
Kagura: who...
"You don't know...and you never will..."
Everyone was just staring at Kagura and at how freaked out she was getting, that is except for Holly who was trying
to wake koga, it was the perfect time to excape...when he looked at her, he didn't say anything...
Holly: (whisper) please...I'll help you find that woman...
Koga: whatever...
He freed holly and she grabbed her stuff, Lupin and Luna were still just staring in awe of everything...
Holly: thanks...I'm sure you'll be able to find me whenever you want to...what the hell...
Koga: where do you think your going?
Holly: home?
Koga: not tonight...
Holly: what...aw...
Koga grabbed her and lept into the air, holly couldn't help but scream as he did so, this finally caught Lupin and luna's
attention and they looked angry...Lupin shouted something at Koga, but all holly could here was the woosh of the wind as she
was being flown threw the air at such speeds it was scary...Holly closed her eyes and tried not to look down as she was being
carried farther and farther away from the village...she really regretted going into the forest the night before...and now she had
just gotten herself into another mess...out of the frying pan and into the fire...speaking of...both Holly and Koga saw huge flames
coming up from the village area, they both looked at each other and in an instant they were heading towards the fire...
Holly: hurry up! I hope my friends are alright!
Koga: who cares...
Holly: I do!
Koga: alright, alright...
The Village was in shambles, whatever wasn't on fire, was already destroyed and crumpled under a mass amount of
debris and in some cases bodies...every avaible man was firing arrows, spears, and other weapons at the source of the
chaos...Inuyasha,Miroku, and Sango glared at the person who stood amongst the burning laughing joyfully...Ali was
to the side, with Kagome and shippou and they all looked ready to kill...
Kagome: what's gotten into him? why'd he do this?
Ali: becuase he's bored? I don't know...
Shippou: I'm scared...
Kagome: we'll be alright...
Ali: yeah, don't worry about us...worry about what Inuyasha's going to do to him...what a damn fool...
Kagome: I don't know...Is he always like this?
Ali: um...only since he came here.
Kagome: Promise me you won't go on a murderous killing spree?
Ali: heh...I won't....
Inuyasha Had Tetsaiga poised and stared intently at the person...who also had his sword drawn, but wasn't making
any effort to attack...
Inuyasha: what's he waiting for...and invitation?
Chris: No! I shall not fight you tonight...but thanks for the gifts...
Inuyasha: what?
Kagome: Inuyasha!
Both Ali and Kagome were grabbed by two shadow creatures and vanished with in the darkness...Chris laughed
again before dashing off, leaving everything to just fall to pieces...and for Inuyasha's anger to rise...soon it would be time
for chris to make his final test...and when he did...he hoped that it wouldn't be the last thing he ever did...as he dashed
threw the forest, he knew that Kagome and Ali would be right at home, for he had sent them to the one place neither wanted
to ever be...Chris chuckled to himself and was gone....
Sango: what are we going to do? there's no way to know where Kagome and Ali are...and Chris is too far gone to follow...
Shippou: oh no! it's hopeless! we're all doomed!
Miroku: it does seem that way...what do you suggest we do...Inuyasha?
Inuyasha:........
shippou: um...Inuyasha?
Inuyasha: .....
