Chapter 2: The Awakening
In a Village Far Away
"Where am I? Am I dead? Ouch! I guess not..."
"He hasn't moved an inch ever since he got here. Are you sure he's ok?"
"Yes he is. He's still breathing?"
"I don't recognize these voices."
"I know he is! He always is!"
"That voice! If that is her then that must be..." "Where am I?!" Sesshomaru sprang from the bed. He found himself topless and was covered in bandages.
"See! I told you he's ok!" A familiar little girl jumped with joy. "Sesshomaru-sama!" She ran and slammed in to him with a fierce hug.
"Rin!" He managed to choke out.
"Oh, Rin is sorry. Rin forgot you are hurt."
"Where am I?"
"You're at Rin's home. Do you remember you took Rin here to this nice family?" She smiled at him. He shook his head as he took a few steps forward.
"Sorry sir, but you just woke up. It's been a month since you..." The man helped him stand.
"A MONTH?! I was out for a month?!"
"Well, we found you in the woods. You were in bad condition. You were knocked out when we found you." The woman tried to calm him down.
"The Forest!?" Sesshomaru only remembered falling of the cliff with Mouko before everything went black. "Are you sure you didn't find me near a river?"
"Yes, we are sure. We found you all nice and dry in the forest. Now please sit own before you hurt yourself."
Sesshomaru stumbled a bit and tripped on the blanket. He landed with a grunt. Rin kneeled down in front of him and he looked up at her. "Please?"
Sesshomaru sat up. "Alright."
Rin smiled. "Rin will get you something to eat!" she jumped up and ran out the room. Sesshomaru looked at the other two people in the room. "Now can you go over again what happen?"
Somewhere Else"I almost had her. A moment's grasp away but was taken away from me because of some ningen demon lord. Why didn't she remember me? Maybe the witch was right. Maybe she wasn't the one. Then who is my love? I don't know. I am just drifting in to ever lasting darkness. I need someone to show me the light. But until then I will drift further until I find my love..." Mouko slowly opened his eyes.
"so he lives." An old man said in the dark corner of the cave.
Mouko turned his head. "Who are you? Where am I?" the old man was wearing a ratty gray cloak.
"A person who help saved you life. I bet you're hungry" The old man got up and grabbed his cane. Mouko watched the old man leave. "Stay put. I'll get you something.
Mouko got up slowly and used the wall the walk. "This would be easier if I had my tail." Mouko walked outside.
"I guess you don't listen." The old man walked toward him and handed him a stick. "Here use it to walk."
"I don't need no stick." Mouko growled. He let go of the wall and took a few steps forward. He landed on his face.
"You were out for about a month or so. You legs are weak. Plus you lost your tail."
"No shit." Mouko got up.
"If you stay still for a bit, I can help."
"No. I don't want you help." He growled. He slowly walked a few steps with some luck.
"It seems to me that your pride is hurt. How so?"
"None of your business." Mouko hissed as he sat down. "You still didn't tell me where am I?"
"You are at my home. That is all you need to know for now."
"Ok. Where did you find me?"
"I found you at a river bank not so far from here. I was taking a morning stroll when I found you. With some help, I brought you here."
"I need to leave soon. I have some unfinished business with someone."
"It seems to me that you hate this person."
"You think. I almost had him."
"I see. You can stay here as long as you need to." The old man walked away.
Note:
Mouko: Yeah! So she did bring me back! (Finally unties A-F45 free and runs away before something happens.)
A-F45: Well, Mouko is being an ass. He tied me up and refused to free me until I made him appear once again. Sorry Lord Destroyer. He's not dead. I still need him for a bit. Ok, I got you title suggestions, I'll post a few more chapters before deciding. Thank you everyone!
