Chapter 2: Stolen Property
Sakura stared at the well warily as Inuyasha leaped over the side. She listened closely for the sound of him hitting hard ground but was surprised to hear nothing. Kagome vaulted the side next, and again there was no sound of something hitting the bottom. Sakura held her breath and stood precariously on the edge of the well and jumped in. She was prepared to feel the ground painfully hit her skin, and was shocked when she was enveloped in a purple light. It was almost as if she were lost in the galaxy and the stars surrounded her in a misty purple haze. She looked around surprised as she found herself back in well, standing on the bottom, looking up in the bright sun.
"Wait a bright sun, I could've sworn the well was inside that little well house- how could the sun be that bright?" she muttered to herself as she began to climb out of the well.
She was instantly surrounded by a group of strangely dressed people and chattering voices. Kagome and Inuyasha stood back, allowing her to climb out of the well. She sat on the edge, as she was overwhelmed with the changed scenery and the crowd in front of her.
"Calm down, you guys. We don't want to scare her," a man dressed in what looked like a black dress and a purple sash called to the others, they backed away and took her in at a respectful distance.
"Sakura, this is Miroku," she indicated the man who had just spoken, " he is a monk, but don't let that fool you- he's quite a character..." Kagome trailed off.
"Hey and just what is that supposed to mean," Miroku's eyebrow twitched as he stared at Kagome.
"This is Sango," she indicated a tall pretty girl who looked about eighteen, " she was a demon exterminator until her clan was wiped out, she joined us in our hunt for the jewel shards after the demon, Naraku, who possesses them tricked her."
Sango smiled slightly and waved, "Hi."
"And this is Shippo; he's a fox-demon. His family was killed by a group called the Thunder Brothers; he now travels with us."
A small furry creature jumped up into Sakura's lap and she looked down at it coolly, smiling as he cuddled her arm.
"This is Kaede; she is the miko of the village we stay at. She is the younger sister of Kikyo- the one I told you about earlier..." Kagome trailed off and Sakura nodded understanding.
"Hey, you girl, I have something for you," everyone turned startled to see Totosai riding his huge ox their way.
"What do you mean girl? Do you mean Kagome?" Inuyasha called back to him.
"No, I mean the youkai girl sitting on the well. I have something to give her," Totosai unmounted and approached Sakura, bowing respectively.
"What's gotten into you, you old bat, that's a human girl. Totosai, I think you've finally lost it. Why are you bowing to her, you don't do that to any of the other youkai you meet," Inuyasha scorned the old man.
"Sakura Miyazaki, I would like you to meet the youkai weapon smith, who created Inuyasha's Tetsusaiga and its brother the Tenseiga, which his brother, Sesshomaru, is in possession of," Kagome introduced them formally, then backed up beside of Sango.
"Sakura, I have in my possession three weapons, which belong to you. All of which were given to me by an old friend for safe keeping, they are ancient weapons and far superior to anything I have ever created. One is a bow made of a magical tree, which gave birth to the Taiyoukai's of the North, the Shinosai. The next is a special sword named Senshokai, which gave birth to the Taiyoukai's of the East. The next is a golden gilded glaive, called the Konikosei, which the Taiyoukai's of the south were brought forth from. I have one last item to bestow on you, it is a silver pendant of the Dragon Spirit, from which the powerful Taiyoukai's of the west were given their life," Totosai handed her these items one by one, a long bow encircled with gold and rubies, a sword with a hilt of sapphires, a long staff with a sharp gold and silver spear at the end, and finally a beautiful pendant the he hung around her neck.
"Umm are you sure you have the right girl?" Sakura's voice was a near whisper as she stared at him.
"I think it is time you tell everyone the truth," a tall man with silver hair, not unlike Inuyasha's, was suddenly standing beside her at the well.
She raised her eyebrow at him coolly. The group before her stared at her surprised, before she felt the man's hands gripping her throat. She gasped, straining to get away. His face was mere inches from hers.
"Come on, Sakura, don't play shy. Show them your power," Sakura looked at him confused, as her world grew slightly hazy.
"Sesshomaru, stop! What are you doing to her, she is just an innocent human girl!" Inuyasha flew at Sesshomaru.
"She's no innocent human. She is a youkai, and a very powerful one at that," Sesshomaru grit the words out from between clenched teeth.
"Sakura? Is that true?" Kagome pleaded with the girl.
"Sesshomaru, loosen your grip so she can answer us!" Totosai bashed him over the head with a long staff, causing a small bump to form on his head. The tall Taiyoukai stared at him angrily.
"I am not a youkai. I do not know what you are talking about. I don't know," she fell to the ground gasping.
"You are a youkai, whether you know it or not. I smelt it on you the first time we met," Inuyasha looked at her sympathetically.
Kagome glanced at him surprised, "Really, and you didn't tell me? Inuyasha!"
"What was I supposed to say? I wasn't sure if I was right or not, it was really faint. Not even weak demons have that faint of a scent, or don't you think Miroku and Sango would've noticed..." Inuyasha pointed out quickly.
"She is not a weak demon; she is a very powerful one in fact. She has no idea what kind of power she possesses. She is the princess of youkai, a goddess. She rules all youkai, and has the power to destroy them all. She is untrained and not yet powerful enough to kill a full blown Taiyoukai, and if you don't mind I have some unfinished business with her," Sesshomaru threw the girl over his shoulder and was gone.
Sesshomaru set his bundle down a safe distance from the others and turned to a great scaly beast grimacing. A small girl with a lopsided grin and a matching ponytail skipped into the clearing followed by a small toad, dressed up in human clothes. Sakura watched the small amphibian as he pranced around waving a staff at the young girl and stifled a small grin as he tripped upon his own feet in his hurry to bow before the great youkai before him. The small girl ran up to him and threw her arms around his legs, hanging on for dear life.
"Lord Sesshomaru, you're back!" the small girl squealed, she glanced around his legs and caught sight of Sakura and stood staring at the older girl.
"Lord Sesshomaru... who is the human hiding behind you?" the small toady looking creature spoke, Sakura looked to him startled.
"This wench is of no consequence. She is to accompany us back to the castle, and from there will be put into the dungeon," Sesshomaru answered simply, swinging up onto the great beasts back, then pulling up the small girl to sit on a small blanket behind of him, the small toad jumping up into her lap.
"Girl, come forward," Sesshomaru glared hard at Sakura, she froze for an instant then took off running into the woods.
She barely made it three yards when something pressed her hard up against a tree trunk forcing the breath from her body. She opened her mouth to cry and found she couldn't speak. Her body went limp, the blackness creeping in from the edges of her vision. Everything was suddenly dark and she could feel herself slipping away.
