Chapter 6
Glowing Jewels
I don't own Kouga or Tasha (they come in later in the chapter) I don't know the name of the guy who owns Inu Yasha (Sorry! Sorry! To the Inu Yasha fans!) But my friend Alex White owns Tasha
"It's starting to get dark out you guys. Maybe we should make camp." Tora Yasha said nervously.
"We got to get to the castle first Tora Yasha." Kitsune said while cuddling a little closer to Tora Yasha as they walked onward.
"Hey you two, it's really near now, I can see it from here."
"Finally! You hear that Tora Yasha? We're almost there! Tora Yasha?" After Kitsune said this she shook Tora Yasha trying to wake her up.
"Beatorsa! Come here quick! Something is wrong with Tora Yasha!"
"What do you mean wrong?!" Beatorsa said this as he flew down to land next to Kitsune cradling Tora Yasha in her arms.
"I think she's running a real awful fever." Kitsune said feeling Tora Yasha's head.
"Give her here." Kitsune reluctantly let Beatorsa take Tora Yasha as he once again took to the sky.
"Come on Kitsune! Keep up, we're almost there!"
"Huff-Huff! I'm going as fast as I can, sorry it's been awhile."
"Well then I'll go on ahead and take Tora Yasha to the castle. Go ahead and rest if you need too." Beatorsa then took off at full speed toward the castle.
"Mom! Mom!" Tora Yasha said delirious.
"Shit! She's getting worse! And who the hell is this "Mom" person?!"
"I can't believe that we're split up again!" Kitsune said to herself as she watched Beatorsa take off with her only child.
"God, I hope she'll be okay.
"Come on Tora Yasha, hang in there." Beatorsa said as he landed at the front gate to the castle.
"Umm......lights.........oh yeah!" Beatorsa found a torch and started lighting all the other lamps and torches.
"Man, I forgot how huge this place is." Beatorsa went to the nearest staircase and sprinted up it to the nearest bedroom.
"All right, let's get you in bed and covered up, you look so frightingly cold." As Beatorsa said this he put Tora Yasha under the covers in the one bed in that bedroom.
"Please hang in there Tora Yasha..." Beatorsa then sat down in a chair that was next to the bed. He thought about when they first met even though it was only one day ago.
"Thank goodness! I can see the castle from here! I might as well camp for the night though. No sense in having two girls sick." Kitsune said this to herself then found a place to sleep.
"Ugh......where am I?" asked Tora Yasha as she tried to sit up.
"Tora Yasha! You're awake!" Beatorsa said waking with a start.
"What's wrong with me? Why am I in bed?"
"Lie down. You got really sick last night, and really worried Kitsune and me."
"No wonder my head hurts...wait a sec...you were worried?"
"Sure, why not? You're my friend, aren't you?"
"Of course." Tora Yasha struggled up and gave Beatorsa a huge hug.
"Uhh...thanks."
"Anytime!"
"Crap! I gotta get to the castle!" Kitsune got up and hurried to the castle.
"Uhh...anybody here?"
"Kitsune? Is that you?" Beatorsa asked from upstairs.
"Yeah, it's me." Kitsune said, now at the doorway of Tora Yasha's bedroom.
"Nice entrance."
"Thanks."
"Tora Yasha's sleeping now, but she was awake earlier."
"So do you think she'll be okay?"
"Yeah, she'll be fine."
"Let's go downstairs, I'll fix some tea."
Tora Yasha's Dream
"Come with me Tora Yasha." Beatorsa said with his hand outstretched.
"Where are we going?"
"You'll see soon enough." Beatorsa took Tora Yasha's hand and they flew out the bedroom window to a very dark and sinister land.
"This is where you must go next to get one of the jewels, trust me on this Tora Yasha." Suddenly everything vanished and Tora Yasha was forced to wake up.
"Beatorsa!"
"You must tell me more about your father's death, Beatorsa." Kitsune said this as she brought in a tray of tea and English muffins.
"I suppose you really wanna know, huh?"
"Beatorsa!" screamed Tora Yasha from upstairs.
"I'll tell you later, now let's go see what's wrong." When Kitsune and Beatorsa got to the doorway, they found Tora Yasha trying to get out of bed.
"No honey, you need your rest." Kitsune said as she ran over to Tora Yasha to help her back into bed.
"My dream, Beatorsa, the next jewel."
"It was only a dream, now go back to bed." Kitsune said this as she tucked Tora Yasha back in.
"Wait Kitsune, she might know something."
"Umm, okay." Kitsune said letting Tora Yasha sit up.
"Okay Tora Yasha, shoot."
"Well in my dream Beatorsa took me to this awful place. I could smell death and evil everywhere. Then he said that one of the jewels was there. That's all I remember though."
"Hmm...I think I know were to go, but it'll be risky." Beatorsa said pondering the dream.
"I wanna know why it was you who took her there in the first place though." Kitsune said also deep in thought about the dream.
"I haven't got the slightest clue, all I know is that we can't go yet, not until Tora Yasha is a little better.
"But I'm........." Tora Yasha lost her words as she tried to get up again, but felt a sharp pain in her head.
"Just please get some rest honey." Kitsune said tucking her back in again.
"Come on Kitsune, let's go back downstairs."
"So, back to your father." Kitsune said as they sat back down again.
"Well like I said, a few years ago my father got into a territorial war with the Lord and Lady of the North."
"Who was it?"
"Kouga the wolf demon and his Lady Tasha. Kouga had just become the Lord of the North because he had finally found his true love, Tasha. He claimed that some of our land belonged to him and he and my father started a war over it."
"So your father was killed in battle. Doesn't that make you the new Lord?"
"Not yet, I must find a mate first." Beatorsa said blushing.
"Ah......who's Lord of the North now?"
"They still are, you know, Kouga and Tasha."
"Yeah."
"My goal is to find my love and make a treaty with the North to end all this madness.
"Sounds good to me."
"That's is all I recall of the war and my father though."
"I still can't get Tora Yasha's dream out of my head."
"It is a little weird though..."
"Yeah."
"Well I suppose we might as well get some sleep, tomorrow Tora Yasha should be better and we can be on our way."
"It's settled then, we're off tomorrow on a quest."
Another long chapter, but what can I say, I no good at getting right to the point, If any one can help my with the name of the guy who owns Inu Yasha, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
