Twisted Love

Chapter 22: Live One More Time

"Damnit" InuYasha slammed his fists against the wooden table, making it shake. "Three fucking days"

"InuYasha, calm down" Elizabeth called behind him.

"Screw you" InuYasha yelled. "It's not your sister that's dissapeared is it"

"Inu"

"Lizzie" Kagome whispered behind her. "I think it's best to leave him alone for a while, he's just frustrated"

"I was only trying to help" Elizabeth whispered back, a hurt tone.

"I know, but you know the way he is"

"Oi, what's that suppose to mean" InuYasha yelled, catching everyone's attention. InuYasha growled at Bryant.

"Listen to me..don't fuck around, do you know"

"Yes, okay.." Bryant shook his head and sighed. "That girl...Hime or whatever her name is...she controls time. I don't know how she does it, but she has that power"

"How do you know this" Amy asked.

Bryant sighed and sat down on the grass, leaning against the hard bark of the tree. The others sat with him too. "Listen, maybe most of you don't know this, but I have time powers to..I can control time, just like her"

"Then"

"If you would shut up then I could speak" Bryant glared at Miroku. Miroku nodded and closed his mouth. "Anyway, I was coming down the stairs when I saw this red dusty wave thingy come through. I ran down the stairs, when I found InuYasha frozen in the middle of the staircase. Two people were in the house, Hime and some other guy. They asked why I didn't freeze in time...but I didn't know. Time magic can't affect those who have the magic too, it can only affect those who don't...Like all of you guys. So, we argued...but somehow she froze my body when I tried to stop her from taking Serenity. When she put time back in to normal flow, you didn't know anything"

"Where did she go"

"Dunno" Bryant shrugged. "She said she needed Syara..but she took Serenity..."

InuYasha growled loudly. "For all we know, she could've frozen time plenty of times and we didn't even see it! I don't smell anything"

"Time magic, InuYasha...only those with the magic can sense were the other went. Like, Hime...I'm certain she left towards the east"

"..That's a big help.." InuYasha mumbled to himself.

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

'Syara...'

'Serenity, my name is Serenity'

'Syara, say it...you're Syara'

'I'm...Se..renity...'

'Your mind is falling...how weak have you become Syara? What happened to the Syara that was untouchable"

'I-I'm Serenity...'

'No, you're Syara..the powerful priestess...You're nothing compared to what you were'

'N-No...'

'Syara, in this life...you're nothing.'

'F-Fuck you...'

'Syara...'

A flashing light, a racing image in Serenity's mind. Sher groaned. 'Syara...Say it!'

'I-I'm...Serenity'

'No, you are and forever will be Syara...I need you to say it...say it and say your sister's name to'

'N-No...Go Away!'

'Aww, c'mon..say it!'

Another light, the pain the fire inside again. Serenity groaned loudly, her body drained from the original pain, and her mind finally gave up.

'B-But I can't...give up'

'You're weak, all your power has retured...You can't control it, both mentally and physically'

'I-'

'Say it!'

'I'm...Syara...'

'And your sister?'

'K-K'gome...Midoriko'

Serenity jumped up from her sleep, breathing heavily. Wrapped in someone's arms, the girl looked behind her. She wiggled in the owner's lap, until she could see his face. Serenity blinked slowly. 'He's the one who saved me last night'

Serenity looked around the darkness, her golden eyes trying to search any trace of light. In the end, she found nothing. Sighing the girl looked at her savior. She smiled sadly. Closing her eyes, she leaned her head against his shoulder.

"...Syara..." Her eyes shot open, she felt her body pulse. Hitomi's eyes shot open, looking down at the girl in his arms. Her body pulsed again, a silvery glow around them both. Serenity gasped, her breath was ragged. The voice in her head repeating the same thing over and over again.

"You are Syara."

IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Hime smirked as the mirror in front of her flipped over three times. Two strands of hair wrapped around her fingers. Hime looked in to the mirror, seeing as InuYasha worried over his mate. Hime frowned.

"Worrying over the enemy" Hime snorted. "Not something you see every day, my InuYasha"

Her mirror flipped again, her eyes held amusement as she saw the image. Hime laughed outloud, thorowing her head back, making her laugh echo off the cave walls, and echo through the waterfall. She stood behind the waterfall, the base of her plans.

"Hitomi, so foolish" Hime smirked. "Trying to regain your lost love? One that is mated in this life time"

Seeing as how Serenity's aura glowed, Hime narrowed her eyes. Taking Serenity's strand of hair she turned on her heel, walking towards the cave wall. A small table, where two black small cushions were. Hime kneeled in front of the table. The glowing Sacred Jewel on one cushion, and the miko crystal in the other. Hime picked up the miko crystal, a silver crystal that glowed a brilliant aura. She dropped it back, seeing her burned palm.

"Just couldn't stay away from the barriers..." Hime grumbled as she narrowed her eyes. Her hands glowing red, she touched the crystal again. This time she picked it up, wrapping Serenity's strand of hair around the crystal. She set it back on the cushion, chanting a small incantation. Hime opened her eyes, seeing as the crystal glowed. She took off her ruby, making the tip of it touch the crystal. A reaction, a small speck of black formed on the top of the miko crystal.

"Perfect"

IIIIIIIIIIIIII

"Anything, Elizabeth" InuYash asked as he met the girl halfway before she actually got in to the house. Elizabeth shook her head.

"I'm sorry, Inu, I can sense her magic...but I can't follow it, it's to hard"

Sango sighed as she dropped to the floor, Miroku knelt next to her. "What are we going to do"

Amy, Bryant, and Rin sat on the stairs. Rin groaned, making Sesshomaru turn his attention to her. "What's wrong, Rin"

"Kicking baby" Rin winced and smiled. "Sesshomaru, if something does happen, I can't endanger our baby"

"Damnit" InuYasha growled. "Serenity is missing, we can't do anything with you around, we've got no clue where they might be...This is so fucking stupid. If someone wants us, then let them show their fucking faces"

"It's not that easy" Amy yelled. "A plan, InuYasha, a plan has to be set out first. No one can come up with a brilliant scheme off the top of their heads. This is all planned"

"How can you be sure"

"Because, InuYasha, no one but Bryant noticed Serenity dissapear."

"Then it's his fucking fault"

"Hey" Bryant stood up, Kagome grabbed his arm. "Don't blame this whole thing on me, I couldn't do anything"

"InuYasha, calm down" Kagome walked over to her mate, hugging his torso. "Calm down"

"She's right." Sesshomaru looked at InuYasha. "If Amy is right, then just worrying is falling right in to the part we are suppose to play. Let's not worry, it's better that way"

"Feh" InuYasha sat down on the stairs, talking Kagome on to his lap. She closed her eyes, nuzzling her cheek against his chest.

'...Midoriko...awaken...' Kagome's eyes shot open, she felt her body pulse.

"Kagome" InuYasha looked down, seeing as Kagome's body pulsed and took a purple glow. "Kagome"

"What's wrong with her" Amy asked.

"Kagome"

IIIIIIIIIII

Hime wrapped Kagome's strand of hair around the jewel. Smiling as she made her ruby's tip touch the jewel. A smirk as a speck of black formed.

"Both sisters are ready" Hime said. "Jesse, get them ready. I will do it here, and then I shall join you"

Jesse bowed. "Yes, Hime" She turned and left, walking through the waterfall. Hime closed her eyes.

'Syara, Midoriko...awaken...' Hime's body glowed red, pulsing along with her ruby, the jewel, and the crystal. 'InuYasha...Syara...Midoriko...Sango...Miroku...awaken and live once again'

Hime's eyes opened and a smirk formed. "Awaken"

IIIIIIIIIIII

Serenity's eyes shot open.

Kagome's eyes opened.

The wind picked up, shattering the windows of the house.

"Ahh" Amy screamed as the living room windows shattered, sending the pieces of glass towards her.

"Amy" Bryant pushed her down on the floor, covering her with his own body. He winced as he felt the prick of the glass on his back.

"Amy" InuYasha stopped in mid step as he head more shattering of the windows. "We have to get out of here"

He turned around to pick up Kagome, but she was gone. "Kagome"

The chandelier above the group shook, the table near the top of the stairs shook, sending the over sized vase rolling down the stairs at a fast speed.

"These things are gonna kill us, we have to get out of here" Amy yelled. Bryant took her and they ran towards the others. The chandelier fell, taking pieces of the celing along with it, the vase rolled towards Rin. Amy screamed as both she and Bryant came to a hault when it hit the floor. The pieces of glass and the light bulbs cutting them both. They moved before anymore could hit them.

InuYasha pushed Elizabeth out of the way, Sesshomaru picking up Rin from the stairs. The chandelier shattered colliding with the vase.

"I have to find Kagome" InuYasha jumped on the stairs, but jumped back down when he saw the hallways table coming towards him. He picked up Souta and kicked the front door open.

"Go, I have to find Kagome"

Sesshomaru ran out of the house with Rin in his arms. Elizabeth grabbed Souta. Bryant and Amy made their way around the broken chandelier. Sango and Miroku ran out of the house.

"InuYasha" Amy yelled as she saw the closet door shatter and head towards the hanyou. He turned around.

"Fuck" InuYasha back, and dropped to the cement floor. The pieces of wood landing around him. He was out of the house.

Amy and Bryant ran out of the house. Once they took the first step out, the ground shook violently. Every neighboor coming out to see what was happening. A giant crystal formed around the house, preventing from anyone who get inside.

"No" InuYasha yelled. "Kagome is still inside"

They all looked to the sky, which was invaded with youkai coming towards them.

"...Just fucking great" InuYasha growled.
