Disclaimer: we don't own Inuyasha and gang only Aura and Hoshi
~*~ Chapter 5: Memories
Aura turned around and saw him. She faintly began to blush, 'why is he here?' she thought
"Inuyasha, this is no time to get all worked up!" Miroku Said
Hoshi could care less about Sesshomaru or Inuyasha, but the monk that was standing there had caught her eye.
"heh. so u want to get your butt kicked again!" Inuyasha taunted
Sesshomaru smiles sly-like and let out a creepy chuckle then said "So your still alive I see." his gaze now focused on Aura.
Aura nodded in acknowledgement to his statement. 'So he isn't here to fight Inuyasha then.' she thought.
"But what I don't understand is why you are traveling with Inuyasha and all of his humans." Sesshomaru said.
"What makes you think I am traveling with them my lord?" Aura replied
Her voice came as a shock to Sesshomaru. He had herded her talk before but never had she talked directly to him." So, then you are telling me that you are not traveling with them?" he said in the tone of voice one uses when you don't really care if the question is answer or not.
Hoshi jumped into a tree and sat in it. The tree was right behind the monk. She had a great view of him and what was going on.
Aura's eyes turned a dark blue as she began to reply but stopped and she said " what does it matter what I do, it's not like it matters to you." now her heart was racing, so much she wanted to hear him say that it did matter.
"Your right, Aura, It doesn't matter at all." And with that he was gone.
Inuyasha watched. He knew better, he knew as much as Hoshi did, that it did matter to both Aura and Sesshomaru ever if Sesshomaru was too blind to see it.
Aura turned and saw her lil sister in the tree and let a small, single tear fall from her eyes. Only one no more or less, for she would not cry, no her only option would be to become numb once more. Then nothing not even love would ever harm her.
Hoshi saw her sister's eyes. They were purple now, and Hoshi knew something was bond to happen but what was beyond her.
Aura went back to the branch looking up at the glowing moon. Her eyes still purple, her hands clenched tightly under her chin as though she cogently prayed. Then ends of her purple ribbon on her blue hair flapped in a slight breeze. She had a dress on; it had a heart on the chest. Her bare feet barely touched the rough wood but enough to keep her balance.
Her heart burned, was it love, hate, disappointment, or was she just becoming numb? she didn't know. But whatever it was it burned fiercely. When he was around, everyone seem to disappear and the way he never took his eyes away from her made her feel like she mattered and t he was still a point to why she was still alive.
Inuyasha had moved a few steps closer towards Aura. He was at the cliff side. Unlike her he didn't have as much balanced and stayed there." you really do love him don't you Aura?" he more said the asked fore he already knew the answer.
"I do," she said in a sad voice," butt he shall never feel the same and even if he did he would never show it.... because.....I'm..." she stopped
And Inuyasha finished for her "A henyou," He could since how sad she was but he also knew that there was nothing that he could possibly do. No one could, no one but Sesshomaru. He turned from her and grabbed Miroku before heading back to camp. Leavening the sisters alone.
Hoshi hated to see her sister so sad. But she knew that not even her bright loving face could cheer up her sister. She got out of the tree and began to walk towards Aura.
As she did, suddenly a purple cat jumped in front of her. Then in went to the branch Aura was on and jumped up on aura's shoulder." Aura is that your birth cat?" Hoshi asked as she got closer.
Aura didn't move, but replied "yea she is my birth cat; I think she was the only gift I received from our parents. Her name is Memo."
Hoshi couldn't see the look on her sister's face but she could feel the sadness that surrounded her. And knew that no matter what she said, it would only cause Aura more pain. So she retreated to a tree and fell asleep.
Sesshomaru had never really left. Instead he had stayed down wind of Aura and the rest of them. 'Why did she finally speak up?' his mind puzzled. He found it so interesting that she had spoken up and tried to defend herself with words.
From where he stood, he could see her. She had awoken something deep inside of him. Something he couldn't begin to understand because he had never felt it before now.
Then he heard her voice, she was singing again. That's how he had even noticed her in the first place as he was passing by.
Here I am ,alone again
Here I stand with the feelings
together I have mended
my pain and heart r no longer around
now I am numb
numb from u and numb
from myself. No more fear
for all of it has disappeared
And with that even Sesshomaru fell victim to sleep.
Hoshi didn't sleep well that night. Like so many other nights her dreams were filled with the memories of the day Aura had to leave.
"Aura why do you have to go?" Hoshi said
"Because our parents hate me."
"But please Aura I will miss you. I want you to be here and stay around with me. who will I play with?" Hoshi started to cry
"Hoshi please don't cry my lil sister. you will be fine here without me. our parents love u so much. they will play with you"
"but sister I will miss you! why can't I go away with you?"
"Because Hoshi you have to stay here. you are a full demon and need to learn how to control your gifts. now stop crying I have something for you."
"A present for me Aura?"
"yes for you. now shut your eyes and hold out your hand."
Hoshi did as she was told and felt something fall into her little hands. she opened her eyes to see the most beautiful necklace she had ever seen. it was star shaped. it also was made of a shiny metal that showed in light and in the dark.
"Oh Aura it's........" Hoshi looked up to see Aura no longer around. "Aura it is beautiful. I will keep it always" she said and began to cry
