Thank you, Gabi for all your help and to the others for your encouraging reviews. I hope you all enjoy this chapter. If you have any ideas to improve on the story then let me know. I am planning a sequel for this story when Crystal is a full demon. More twists are to come to this story. I am not sure if I am going to have Crystal and the gang go to find Crystal's trainer in this story or wait until the next.
I don't own InuYasha and the crew. I just own Crystal and Silver.
The Sword and Lost Loves RememberedThe next morning Crystal was sitting on a branch of the sacred tree with Shippo watching the sunrise. "Do you think that InuYasha will remember us?" Shippo asked.
"Not at first, his demon blood is too much for him to handle right now. But once I purify his human heart, that is the only thing lift of his human half, he will remember you guys. He will not be the InuYasha you knew in both looks and personality. He will look like he would if he were never a hanyou. When I purify his heart I will also heal him of his pain. The worst will come when we will have to tell him about Mom." Crystal answered. She dreaded that moment more than anything. Meeting and getting to know her father was the better of the two deeds she must see through.
"As long as he is here with us. That is what I want."
Crystal smiled. "Then I will have my father."
Crystal looked up into the purple and pink sky and jumped out of the tree. "Totosai is coming." Then another feeling came over him, "Sessomoru is also coming. Hopefully it is not another battle his is coming for." She hated to battle, "I really do not want to fight I just want to help my father." She said as both Totosai and Sessomoru appeared before her. "Shippo, will you go get the others." She said as she walked up to the two figures. "Hello Sessomoru and Totosai."
Totosai handed her the sword. "This The Seijoukanji (Purity Sword), it can heal, kill, and purify. The most powerful attack is the purity wave. It also has the attacks sonic wave which sends pulses throughout your opponents' body at alarming rates causes them to become immobilized and the purity healing which can only be used on humans. The purity wave can only be used on demons. It uses the power of the Shikon Jewel and your spiritual powers to heal a demon's heart or to heal a human. The sword can also kill a demon depending on the amount of power you put into it. I designed the sword so that it will not use up all your miko energy right away. The sword also puts out a barrier around you and the people you are protecting."
"Thank you Totosai, it is a beautiful sword. I know how to yield a sword but how do I use the power of the sword." Crystal asked.
"All you have to think about what you want to do and it will obey. The jewel was a little too perky for me though." Totosai said.
Crystal smiled, "Yes, Shikon was a perky little jewel. Now that she is a sword she will be even more perky, because now she can help more people then before." Crystal said as she took the sword of its protective case and swung it around expertly.
"Seems as though I will not need to show you how to use the sword properly." Sessomoru said. He watched her swing the sword cut into the air with great ease.
"I have been trained in all forms of weaponry." Crystal explained, "I can even use Sango's weapon with ease.
Just then Crystal's friends came up beside her, "So what do you think of your new sword Crystal?" Miroku said.
"It is great. What do you think Shikon?" Crystal asked the sword. Crystal thought for a minute, "I think I will call you Seijou from now on."
"I like it a lot. I feel so much more powerful then before." Seijou said in an excited tone. "I can help more people this way. So are going after your father now?"
Crystal looked shocked. "How do you know about that?"
"I know everything you know and then some." Seijou answered.
"What did the sword mean when she said 'going after your father'," Totosai asked.
Sesshomoru looked at Crystal, "I thought as much," Was all he said.
Crystal placed the sword back into its protective sheave and turned to Totosai, "He is alive. It seems that this tiara has heightened a gift that I have. I am able to sense things that go on around me. Like I know when you are coming and I don't have to smell you to know it is you. I just know you are coming." Crystal explained, "Anyway, my father is no longer a hanyou but a full demon, but he is in torment. I most go find him and bring him back by using my purity sword. I will be able to use the sword's purity wave to heal my father's human heart?"
"I believe so if it is his heart is in torment and is dieing." Totosai said.
"Do not take him to lightly, Crystal," Sesshomoru said in his emotionless tone.
Crystal nodded to him taking in what Sesshomoru had said, before she turned to Totosai, "Thank again for making the sword. It is an excellent sword." She said, "It was nice seeing you again Sesshomoru." Turning to her friends "Are ready for the task ahead?" She asked her newfound family. They all nodded.
"Kirara," Sango called.
"Silver," Crystal called.
Both two-tailed cats came to the girls' sides. "Let's go then." Crystal said as she watched a bright silver flash of moonbeams swirled around Silver and swirling flames engulfed Kirara. The cats now resembled two saber-toothed tigers. Crystal and Shippo jumped onto Silver while Miruko and Sango jumped onto Kirara. Then the six some took off toward the north where the battle of Naraku took place.
"So, what will we do when we get there?" Shippo asked.
"We will find out when we get there." Miruko said in response.
'I will be able smell him.' Kirara said between pants.
"Will then you can help track him down. I don't know his scent but I will be able to sense him." Crystal said not realizing that the others couldn't understand Kirara.
'Mistress they do not understand you can understand mother,' Silver responded.
Crystal let out a nervous laugh. "Sorry guys. I know demon dialects. Including those that seem can't talk. Kirara and Silver do talk but in a different language then human's and demons. Their language is very dignified and proud, Of course because of their nature. Kirara was just telling me that she remember my father's smell." Crystal explained.
Crystal thought for a moment of the times when she would argue with her trainer for being forced to learn the different languages. She hated all the royal protocols that she was forced to endure. To learn the different languages, the different ways cultures react together, history of demons from around the world, and the written languages of the different countries. She well versed in the ways of the royal demons of ancient and present Japan. That was because she was of royal demon blood. Her trainer felt it was needed.
"That is astounding! Crystal, how many more surprises do you have?" Miruko asked.
"Amazing, you must teach me." Sango said.
"Sango, ask Kirara to teach you. She understands what you tell her." Crystal said.
"Oh" was all Sango said.
"Here we are," Miruko said as Kirara touched down and Silver followed suit.
"I don't like this place," Shippo said, "This is where we lost many good friends."
"Oh yes," Miruko said sadly, "Not only did we lose InuYasha, but we also lost Kouga and Kohako."
"Who were they?" Crystal asked.
"Kouga was the wolf demon prince that was always after your mother and Kohako was Sango's brother."
"I am so sorry," Crystal, said sadly, "I know the feeling. My mother's death still rings in my mind. Her death was preventable though." She and Shippo got off of Silver and Miruko and Sango did the same.
They all stood there for a moment for the memory of those who were killed or wounded by the evil that was destroyed by the very people who Crystal stood by. Crystal bended down and picked a stray flower that was at her feet. In the far distance she heard a stream flowing effortlessly. She walked the distance to the stream. The others followed close behind. They walked for quit sometime in silence. There were no words that could be said. Only the silence was the only word that could be spoken. Finally the creek came in sight. The waters were Crystal blue and white foam leaped onto the rocks and broken tree trunks. Crystal walked up to the streams edge. She dropped the beautiful pink flower into the stream. "May, these lands heal from the pain that Naraku had caused so many years ago." She said. "This is not the end, but the beginning of something greater." Crystal stood up and looked at her newfound friends.
Remembered a poem that she once read in a book of myth's and legends.
It was a day that ended the days of many.
Many came back Many were lost.
In a suffering so forgotten in time the lost seems so
Far beyond any that can be forgotten.
A wolfs cry was heard in the darkness.
A mate's love was lost in the darkness of his soul.
They were stolen in the night and could not be heard.
A purple shard was stolen and could not recover the lost.
Dreams were put aside and hidden from view as the battle raged on.
All seemed lost until a flash and wave was seen flying through the trees.
Never again with the dark evil arise to be seen by others.
The world was safe once again.
Crystal fought back tears as she remembered the poem and recited it to her friends.
I hope you like my little addition.
