Ch 13: Appearance of the drowned youkai & Ryoga's decision (B)
Kagome, Ranma, and Sesshoumaru went to his palace a day ago. (this happens when Kagome and Ranma just left) They had to track down Kikyo in order to keep a promise Kagome made with Sesshoumaru.
Things where just like 3 days ago. Inu-yasha and the rest of the Shard Hunting group where traveling throughout feudal Japan looking for Shikon No Tama shards. Lately they heard a rumor of a beautiful female youkai spirit haunting an area in Northern Japan. So the group decided to investigate this matter.
Right after Kagome and Ranma left they began to go to Northern Japan hoping that a Shikon Shard was behind the strange rumors of a demon spirit. They where now crossing a rough terrene with few patches of green grass on the hard, dark, dry ground.
"Houshi-sama, are there such things as demon spirits," Sango asked as she walked over a small hill.
"Hai. Though they are quite rare, demons that had died can come back from the dead as spirits of their former bodies. They come back to try and avenge their unjust death or finish an unfinished business," Miroku said looking over his shoulder at Sango.
Shippo jumped from Sango's shoulder onto Miroku's head. The little kitsune peered down into Miroku's brown eyes.
"So there can be dead youkai ghost floating around," Shippo asked. Miroku nodded.
"Feh. I can kill that youkai spirit with the power of Tetsusaiga," Inu- yasha huffed.
"It won't be that easy Inu-yasha. Even though it's a spirit, the demon must had have immense power to come back with out being reincarnated. So the spirit still has allot of strength with of without a body," Miroku said matter-of-fact kind of tone.
Inu-yasha humped at Miroku's words. He was confident that he would be able to defeat that ghost and claim the shard it might posses.
"The demon might not had have the power to do it when it died. Maybe it used a shard to bring it back to life," Inu-yasha countered.
"The key word is 'might', Inu-yasha. If it had used the shard then we could probably defeat it. But if it didn't then there would be trouble," Miroku said looking up at Shippo who was still on his head.
After half an hour of uneventful traveling, conversation had stopped when Miroku said the last bit, they where off of the rough terrain and on a lush field filled with healthy green grass with the last drops of mourning dew still on them. Shippo jumped off of Miroku's head with joy and landed on the grass. Shippo began to run across the plain enjoying the feeling of freedom. Kirara jumped off of Sango's shoulder to join Shippo in his happiness.
"Guess we could take a break," Sango said laying down Hiraikotsu. She sat down on a near by boulder watching Shippo and Kirara running around.
"Oi! None of us are tired so what's the point of taking a break?" Inu-yasha said in a tone that could be easily mistaken for someone yelling.
"We could at least let Shippo and Kirara run around for a little while," Miroku said looking at the two youkai.
After a few minutes where Shippo and Kirara running around they set off to the village in that area where the youkai spirit was rumored to haunt.
It was well into night when they finally arrived at the village. They went to the mansion where the village's leader lived.
"What do u want," a guard asked gruffly looking at the group that arrived. A old man with tan wrinkled skin walked to the gate slowly with the support of a yard long cane.
"Nani?" the old man said irritably.
"We are travelers that have heard about a demon spirit haunting your village," Miroku began. The guard who had spoken twitched at his words. "so we wanted to offer you our assistance."
"A priest, a youkai taiji, and what's this a hanyou?" the old man said peering wearily at the trio. He didn't even notice Kirara nor Shippo both who were on Sango's shoulders.
"That would be greatly appreciated. Come in, come in, young ones," the old man stepped aside and made a gesture for the guard to move aside as well. The group walked into the mansion's threshold. Suddenly they felt a strange aura around the mansion, it was neither pure not evil. It was something that the group could not identify. The old man made a gesture for the group to follow him and they did, walking at a normal pace closely observing their surroundings.
The mansion looked like at least a half-century-old. The wood that was made into the floors, roof, etc.... where turning a darker color and when they were trodden on it gave a very soft creek. And the gate they had entered through was wrapped with evergreen colored vines and darker, withered leaves. It looked like the place hasn't been taken care of properly.
Sango tightened her grip on Hiraikotsu's strap. Kirara stiffened her body as if waiting for some demon to attack. Inu-yasha looked around carefully, sniffing quietly the air to detect a youkai's scent. Miroku on the other hand didn't do anything, he peered around curiously.
"Here, here, you lads can stay in this room. I'll be sending in some servants bringing food and drink," the old man said stroking his long grayish white beard. "My name's Kurei."
Kurei slowly walked out of the room. Shippo was looking curiously at him. He knew the old man didn't notice him or Kirara, but he was old.
Inu-yasha sat down and huffed. Tucking his hand into his sleeves he glared at the room. Sango sat down in the corner near the door. Miroku sat few paces away from Inu-yasha laying his staff on his lap.
"Do you feel it," Miroku asked breaking the silence that had taken over when the old man left.
The other tree nodded their heads. Kirara was now pacing around the room looking closely at the walls.
There was a knock on the shoji screen, it opened revealing beautiful young servants. They entered the room in single file and place the food inform of the guests.
After they had eaten they sat down waiting for the youkai spirit. It was well pass mid-night when something actually happened.
A strong wind blew carrying a strong youki with it. The group jerked from the sleepy daze they were lulling into and ran out into the yard. The guards that were standing near the gate where knocked out cold.
Suddenly a loud horrible screech made by the wind was heard. And before their eyes visible wind surrounded a spot near them and when the wind dispelled the youkai spirit appeared. She glared at the old man behind the group, she flicked her wrist and like Kagura blue wind blade appeared around her and launched themselves at the old men.
Sango ran before Kurei and held Hiraikotsu like a shield, shielding the old man from the wind blades. Kirara transformed in a blaze of fire from a small cat like creature to a bigger version with long fangs protruding from the top of her mouth. Kirara ran to the youkai spirit dodging all the wind blades and launched herself at the spirit. A white barrier formed before the spirit blocking Kirara and sent her away into a wall.
Inu-yasha pulled out Tetsusaiga and charged forward. Tetsusaiga's blade turned into a blood red color, Inu-yasha jumped high into the air and brought the red bladed Tetsusaiga down. The crimson blade hit the barrier with a cracking sound and yellow sparks flew when the sword slowly penetrated the barrier.
The spirit looked annoyed as the blade passes her barrier and sliced her in half. Inu-yasha smirked at the victory, but the smirk disappeared when another gust of wind carrying a strong youki formed the same youkai spirit behind him.
Miroku took out his exorcism stickers from his robes and threw them at the youkai. She glared at him and the stickers burst into flame in mid-air. Suddenly Hiraikotsu came from behind and sliced the youkai in half.
But again a gust of wind with a strong youki formed the same spirit.
"Haven't you any of you realize that I'm a spirit? I can't die again! I had been waiting for you to come hear for a while now. Where is that miko who got cursed?" the spirit said sighing.
"Nani?! How do you know Kagome's cursed?" Inu-yasha spat death glaring the spirit.
"I'll explain everything later when we're in some where safe." the youkai spirit said. She flicked her hand at Kurei and he went slowly to sleep. She looked around at the group who had surrounded her. "Don't worry he's only sleeping. He'll forget everything that happened this night. Come with me."
She walked away, pass the gate and out into the village. The group reluctantly followed her. Sango had a firm grip on her boomerang and Kirara was still in her transformation. But Inu-yasha sheathed Tetsusaiga.
The youkai spirit led them into a clearing with a crystal clear pond.
"I was the one who made the pond where you miko friend fell into," the spirit said. There was no use of trying to be mysterious and to delaying that part of the conversation.
There was some sort of shocked silence befalling onto the group. They some how knew unconsciously that she would be the one.
Suddenly Miroku's head click and an idea popped into his head. "If that's true then there's a way of reversing it! Do you know what it is," he asked eagerly. Shippo grinned at Miroku and nodded happily. Sango smiled at the thought of curing her best friend of that wretched curse.
Inu-yasha on the other hand felt an emotion quite the opposite of the others. Instead of feeling relieved he felt....... jealousy. From becoming shocked he became jealous.
'Why? Kagome gets to become a youkai and I don't? It's not fair! I've been trying to become a full demon for years! Damn it's not fair. I want to become a full youkai! She doesn't deserve to be one. She's a miko. Miko's detest youkai's,' Inu-yasha thought bitterly.
"I'm afraid that there isn't any cure I know of." the youkai spirit said.
The group's hearts plummeted. Their hearts were set high hoping against hope that there was a cure.
"But, there is a demon that has the power to do amazing things." the youkai said looking directly at Inu-yasha who was starring at his feet.
"Yea we heard it from Kaede-sama. But she doesn't know where it resides and if there's such a thing," Sango said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"There is such a being. I know...........it..." the youkai spirit said trying to keep her monotone voice. Her voice quivered when she said the word it.
"You do," Shippo asked eagerly. "Where? Where does it live?"
"I do not know exactly where it is but there should be some clue in the south. There should be a temple of some sort near the border of southern Japan," the spirit said looking into the pond. "Come here. Look into the pond." The group gathered around the clear pond looking inside. Inu-yasha was the last one to approach. He looked as if he didn't trust what he would see.
When Inu-yasha joined them, a ripple from the center of the pond disturbed the clear surface. Slowly an image formed inside the pond. It showed a sandy beach with ocean water lapping at the shore.
"There should be a sign they're telling you where the temple should be. When you reach the temple it should give you the current position of the demon," the spirit said.
The sun was beginning to rise now. They hadn't notice that it took all night to reach this point.
The spirit looked at the horizon. "I must go now. I will see you again. Please do not tell the miko of our meeting. If she asks just tell her that you found a demon who knows of the rumored demon."
"Wait. We don't know you name." Sango said looking at the youkai spirit as she faded.
"Tenchi," the spirit said and vanished completely.
_*_*_*_*_*Ryoga's side story*_*_*_*_*_ (It takes place the same time as the other one)
Today was the mark of the last day of the month. Ryoga was somewhere in Kyoto now. He got lost going to Tokyo Tower. He decided on his wish.
The fortuneteller had given him a white polished stone. But the magic placed over the stone would wear away in a month. So now was the time he would make the wish he had been brooding over for sometime.
He had asked Shampoo to take over watching Akane. Though she didn't seem too happy. She had only agreed to watch Akane was because Ranma asked her. She still had to marry Ranma. And she was planning something to do to Akane to make her forget Ranma, so this would be an opportunity she couldn't miss.
Though Ryoga knew she was planning something he needed to get away and clear his mind. But he should get back so Shampoo doesn't get to violent if Akane doesn't forget him.
Ryoga took out the white stone and walked to a clearing few yards away. No one was there and the trees blocked the view of him. Arriving into the clearing Ryoga tightened his grip on the stone and took a deep breath.
"I wish I can be able to tell Akane how I feel about her. And that I would have a normal sense of direction. And that Ranma would be able to make a wish for himself." Ryoga said. He wanted to express his feeling toward Akane for some time now. And that he would like to go places without getting lost and follow a person with out wandering for a time. And he gave Ranma a wish for himself so that it would be a his birthday gift, since he had no idea what Ranma wanted he could just wish for it.
'I'll tell him bout it when he comes back. Wonder when that'll be,' he thought amusedly
Ryoga gulped if he went back to Nermia without asking more than one person for direction than all the wishes would've worked.
_*_*_*_*_*Tendo Dojo*_*_*_*_*_
It was night now. Shampoo tried to use a spell to make Akane forget Ranma but that didn't work at all. And Ryoga arrived an hour after sunset.
During dinner the only ones at the table were the Tendos, Genma, Ryoga, Shampoo, and Mouse. Happosai was still around town peeking up women's skirts and running from a mob of women. Dinner was rather uneventful nothing happened except for eating.
After dinner Ryoga asked Akane to go into the Practice Hall with him. He needed to tell him something.
Both of them were sitting in the middle of the dojo floor. Akane was blushing and so was Ryoga.
'Now or never,' Ryoga thought.
"Akane.............. I......," Ryoga began. He blushed so deep that his face was exactly like a tomato's. Akane was looking nervous, and she blushed a bit more but not as much as Ryoga. "I......... I.........."
'Da Hell! I need to tell her this now!!' Ryoga scolded himself.
"Akane I like you!!!" Ryoga shouted. He blushed deeper. Finally he had said it. Though he was somewhat embarrassed he told Akane his feelings.
At this Akane faltered. She had feelings for Ranma, but she liked Ryoga too. But she wasn't sure if she liked him more than a friend. This placed her in an awkward position. But she knew that Ranma liked her like his sister but never as a girlfriend. Though she had cried for him many times she knew she had slim to none chance with him.
'But I don't know if I like Ryoga more than a friend. I mean it wouldn't hurt to give it a try,' Akane reasoned.
There had been a pause as Akane was thinking. Ryoga's stomach twisted and turned. He never felt this badly in his life. He was afraid of rejection.
Akane finally made a decision. She let out a long ragged breath.
"I........... I .............. I like you too." Akane said not sure of herself.
Suddenly the door to the Practice Hall burst opened.
"I knew it!!!!!!!! I knew it!!!!!" Nabiki shouted happily patting her younger sister on the back. "I knew you liked 'im. But don't you think your cheating on Ranma?"
"Yes Akane. Haven't you given Ranma any thought. Or even the marriage?" Kasumi said looking at Akane.
Ryoga was so damn happy when they busted in. Now he was to embarrassed to face Akane's family like that so he high tailed it outta there, running as fast as he could making a dust cloud in his wake, blushing furiously.
"What's up with him?" Nabiki asked raising an eyebrow.
