Chapter 3

"What do you mean she was just going to leave me with your parents?" Kagome asked as they all walked to the village. Sammy sighed.

"You really don't remember anything do you?" Sammy said as she tried to stop herself from crying. They all stopped and looked at Sammy as she stopped.

"No, I don't remember anything I'm sorry," Kagome said trying to comfort Sammy.

"It's ok I just never thought that you would forget me. I always thought you would remember me as well as I remember you," Sammy said as the need to cry became too great to stand and she burst into tears. Sammy started to sing "I Ran" by A Flock of Seagulls.

"What is that song called?" Kagome said.

Sammy stopped crying and singing then said: "'I Ran' by A Flock of Seagulls. We used to sing it a lot on Play Island. It was our little way of telling you dad that we missed him."

"Why was I sent to my mom any way? Since it seems that I was so happy as your friend?" Kagome asked.

"Because your dad died and my parents thought it was best if you went to your mom," Sammy said with sad eyes.

"It getting late so why don't you tell us more in the morning?" said Miroku.

"I guess I can," Sammy said as they all walked into the village and went to Kaida's hut.

In the middle of the night Sammy got up, grabbed the box that her dad had gave her, and went outside. She picked a tree the farthest away from the tree that Inuyasha slept in, and jumped in. "I like sleeping in a tree more than a futon," she said to the wind. "I wonder what is in this box." The box was very small in size, when she opened it, inside was a small key chain that was a hand made star, and a letter was with it.

The letter said:

"Dear Sammy,

By the time you read this you should have joined up with Kagome. We wanted to tell you that you are the next keyblade wielder. With this letter we entrusted you with a very special key chain for your keyblade. Well we will see you in ten years.

With Love,

Mom,

Dad,

And Angel."

When Sammy was done with the letter she took a good look at the key chain and was confused that she was the next key master. But two questions arose in her mind: "Who was the black key wielder?" And, "The Golden key wielder?"

Unknown to her she was being watched carefully by Inuyasha, and he saw the letter but didn't under stand a word of it. So he decided to ask her what it meant. He jumped down to a branch beside hers and that is when she noticed that he was there.

"Why hello dearest Inuyasha," she said smugly. "How long have you been watching me?"

"The whole time," he said.

"I know you're itching to ask questions so ask," she stated.

Inuyasha moved on the branch to get comfortable, then began he question, "What is a 'keyblade?' What's with the 'key chain?' And why can't you see your family for ten years?"

"A keyblade is a blade that is shaped like a key, there are three; the regular one, the dark one, and the golden one. Each have a purpose the regular one is the protector of all things, the dark one is a bringer of darkness, and the golden one is the bringer of light. I don't know what the key chain is for really. Because that is the next window that opens up to my world, unless somehow we found a gummi ship, and the gummi ship is the only thing that can stand up to the dimensional time and space thingy," she said, answering all of he questions in one breathe.

Inuyasha sat there in a daze. Then she remembered that this was the past and he won't know a thing about what she just told him so she made it simple, "It basically means that I'm chosen to carry a blade that looks like a key and destroy the evil in the stars and here too."

"Well why didn't you say that to begin with?" he said. She just shook her head and closed her eyes. "You're not going in?" She shook her head no and went to sleep.

In the morning, they were all up by the crack of dawn, Kagome cooked with Sango, Inuyasha fought with Shippo, Miroku daydreamed about Sango unclothed, and Sammy's thoughts were more toward Inuyasha. He was the first man not to want her for her body, or brains, and the very thought of him made her go weak in the knees. The only problem was that she knew that Kagome liked Inuyasha and he liked her, so she could only watch and prey for Inuyasha to have a brother.

After breakfast they left the village in search of 'Jewel shards.' Sammy asked about the shards that Inuyasha spoke of when he told us to hurry up. They explained that the shards were from a jewel that Kagome broke; now they travel to fix it and to destroy a mad man named Naraku.

After a month of staying in the feudal era Sammy felt truly at home with the world and with everyone in it. Sammy started to make a list of everyone that could carry the dark blade and golden blade. She decided that either Kagome or Inuyasha would wield the golden blade and that Naraku or one of his underlings would wield the dark blade.

That day started out like every other day, Inuyasha and Kagome fighting, Miroku touching every girl they met on the way to the next village, Sango hitting Miroku every time he touch the women, and Shippo and Sammy watching the others as she sang him songs. Shippo enjoyed her songs even the ones she forgot the lyrics to. With every passing day, Shippo seemed to become more like her son than an ally on an adventure.

All was fine when they entered the plains but in toward the middle Sammy got dizzy and sleepy so she tried to say; "Guys I need to rest." But it came out; "Guys…need…rest…" before anyone but Shippo could react she was on the floor, the only reaction Shippo gave was to jump on Inuyasha's shoulder and try to get his attention. As soon as the panic settled into worry the gang propped her up on a tree enter the entrance to the forest that they were about to go into.

Kagome was the most worried because there were still questions that Kagome had for Sammy, but still didn't know how to word them. Kagome checked for punish marks on Sammy's body to make sure that she hadn't been poisoned by a dart. To Kagome's happiness and dismay there were none, in a way it made her worry more for her friend.

Meanwhile in Sammy's dream, Sammy was walking down a hall that was lined with pictures of the princesses of legend; all but her mother Kairi was there, in her place was a girl that looked familiar but different. The hall spilled into a large ballroom. Soon after her entrance into the room a voice echoed through the room it said; "Chosen one there are times that you will need to protect the ones you love,"

"How!" Sammy shouted throwing her arm about.

"Use this," it replied. Soon after a wooden sword appeared in her hand. "Now fight!"

Little black creatures appeared out of the darkness and began to attack her with great speed and strength. She fought the best she could with the weapon that she was given. After she destroyed all the creatures, she fell in the darkness.

Meanwhile in the world around Sammy, Inuyasha's half brother, Sesshoumaru, appeared and decided to attack Inuyasha. Even though Inuyasha was in no mood to fight because he was trying to keep Kagome calm so she didn't hurt herself or him for that matter. After a bit of strong language and dirty name calling, Inuyasha couldn't help from wanting to kick his butt up to the moon.

Back in Sammy's dream, she was running down another hall entering into another large ballroom. She heard the voice again, it said; "The more you step toward the light the stronger the darkness becomes." Suddenly her shadow became very large and came to life. "But don't be afraid, you hold the greatest power of all."

Sammy awoke to see the greatest looking man she had ever seen staring her in the face. He had long silver hair, pointed ears, gorgeous golden eyes, a crescent moon tattooed to his forehead, a pair of strips tattooed on his checks, which made it look like he had been scratched, and the cutest little fluffy thing she had ever seen, she wanted to touch it so bad. "Hello, Miss," he said with the dreamiest voice she had ever heard.

"Hi," she said in a love struck voice.

Well how'd you like it? You could always tell me in a review. And you action fans there will be more later on it was just more important for Sesshoumaru to meet Sammy than Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru's puny fighting, and the voice was more important than Sammy's little fight.
