Chapter 10: Recovery
While Trinity began to attack Naraku Inuyasha dashed to Kagome immediately, he studied her injuries finding that the sight of her slashed up body made his stomach twist.
"What did that bastard do to you!" Inuyasha growled. Kagome weakly pushed him away and pointed down at little Trin who was passed out on the cold stone floor.
"This is nothing compared to what he did to her…" Kagome whispered. Inuyasha wielded around to see his two daughters, his eldest holding his youngest in her arms. Inuyasha eased Kagome to sit against the wall and looked around for his sons.
Toru was fighting along side his Toru-jiji, and Hikaru was fighting with Aunt Trin. Inuyasha saw that the lo techs that Aunt Trin had rounded up were fighting with some of the demons that had survived their attack on the castle, Naraku's hordes of demons were dying fast and soon they would have Naraku.
Inuyasha ran to his daughters crouching in front of Sachi. "Is she okay?" asked Inuyasha looking down at his beat up daughter.
"She's barely breathing but I think she can last a little while longer before she needs to go to the hospital…" Sachi said stroking the girl's black hair. Inuyasha nodded and turned Trinity over to lay on her back, he gasped at the sight of her smashed legs and the scratches all up and down her arms, and not to forget the slash on her shoulder. Inuyasha growled viciously and pulled out his fang and attacked Naraku.
Naraku barely dodged both Aunt Trin's and Inuyasha's attacks and it was an orb from Hikaru that hit Naraku. Naraku snarled and looked to Kagura who fought the two Toru's.
"Kagura! It is time to leave!" Naraku disappeared into thin air and Aunt Trin soon followed, trying to catch him, Kagura also disappeared followed by Toru. Inuyasha snarled and sheathed his sword, he saw that the lo techs were looking tired and confused. Inuyasha ran to Trinity and picked her up.
"We need to get her to a hospital!" Inuyasha growled to the lo techs. They all looked down at the child in confusion, they had not been informed of Aunt Trin's plans while she had went into hiding and didn't know that the head lo tech they had for a week was a fake.
Megumi stepped forward, the only lo tech present who knew about Trinity, she took the little girl and disappeared. The rest of the people began to make their ways out of the castle, Inuyasha holding his mate while his three older children lagged behind a little. No one spoke.
Sachi watched as her Otou-san, and brothers talked to her Okaa-san who was sitting up in the hospital bed nearly fully healed, the healing powers of priestesses was amazing, no scars. Sachi looked down at her slender hands with the claws at the end of her digits, she could see without the jewel. The theory was that the only reason she was blind was because the jewel needed to be purified and now that it was she could see just fine.
Sachi got up out of the leather chair and made her was out of the hospital room to the room across the hall where her sister slept. She was still bruised up and it took some serious magic to make it so the girl might be able to walk again but so far her recovery was coming along slowly and morbidly. The girl had yet to wake up from her coma state and the doctors kept forecasting the worse.
Sachi reached out and brushed a strand of black hair behind Trin's ear. Trin was currently in her human form, the doctors thinking that she was in this form to conserve energy. Many had come to visit the girl besides family, apparently she was a very popular head lo tech even thought it was only for a week. Now Aunt Trin was head lo tech surprisingly, the demon form she got for being head lo tech turned out to be dragon demon which was very uncommon.
Aunt Trin visited the most, besides Otou-san and Okaa-san. She felt guilty for putting Trin into the dangerous situation that she had put her in. Sachi sighed, she had gotten all of the glory for the handling of the wish, even though Trin had done the circle and had known all that the Chosen One should have known.
Sachi was turning to leave the room and go back to her family when there was a crack of lightning. Sachi turned around sharply to see another person now in the room.
The girl was Sachi's age and had golden orbs that seemed to glow. Her long raven hair fell down her slim form gracefully and curled out a little at the ends. The girl was human and had an adult like glow about her for someone in their early teens. The moon shaped tattoo on the girl's cheek looked VERY familiar.
"Wha…Who? Who are you?" asked Sachi, very perplexed. The girl looked at Sachi and gasped. Her serious adult like look fell away immediately and her eyes began to tear up.
"Sachi! Oh My God, It's been so long!" the girl cried and she threw her arms around Sachi, tears rolling down her face. Sachi blinked in confusion, her arms up as if she was not sure if she should hug this strange person back. "I'm sorry! You died so long ago I missed you!" the girl said pulling away. From this up close Sachi got a feeling of familiarity from this girl and then she suddenly realized who she was.
"Trinity…?"
"Yes, it's me…" At that moment the rest of the family came in, hearing the thunder bolt and wondering what was going on. They all stared at the new girl in shock. Trinity looked at Kagome and a saddened look crossed her face. "Okaa-san…Otou-san…you're alive." She whispered softly.
"Trinity?" Kagome gasped her hands coming up to cover her mouth in her shock. The teen Trin nodded and stepped back towards her younger self. "What is going on?" asked Kagome.
Teen Trin looked down at her younger self and her eyes softened. She moved over to the bed and reached out to touch her forehead. She brushed the silky black hair from the girl's face and sighed. "I've come from the future to warn you…" She looked up with her golden eyes at her family, she glanced down at her brothers, she gave a weak smile. "Can you send them somewhere else? They don't need to hear this…" Kagome nodded and shooed the twins out of the room, they pouted and whined the whole way out. Once the room was locked the three in the room looked to teen Trin.
"I'm here to warn you…in my time I got injured just like this but it was not my future self that came back…" said teen Trin pointing to her unconscious younger self. "Okaa-san, your older self came back and warned us that I would be raped and enslaved by Naraku as just a mere child and so you all did everything in your power to prevent this but…you ended up dying in the battle against Naraku while trying to protect me. The only survivors were me and the twins, all the lo techs are dead and everyone in our family were slaughtered by Naraku. I am here to tell you that you cant make the same mistake. If I were to be captured by Naraku…you must let me die." Teen Trin finished. Kagome and Inuyasha looked horrified by this news and seemed already starkly against obeying teen Trin's wishes. Sachi had a glazed look on her face and looked solemn.
"Are you telling me that I should just LET my daughter be raped and turned into Naraku's slave!" Kagome demanded stepping forward and grabbing teen Trin's shoulders gently. Teen Trin looked away from Kagome her eyes tearing up.
"When your older self came back and told you and Otou-san that I would be enslaved by Naraku you freaked out like this but…the truth is the only one who would die in the battle against Naraku would be me…" Trinity finished.
Inuyasha growled and stepped forward, he nudged Kagome out of the way and grabbed hold of teen Trin's chin and lifted her face up to look at him. "If you think I'm going to let any of that stuff happen to you just because things might turn out better in the end then you don't know me at all…"
Trinity frowned up at him. "And why do I not know you again? Maybe it's because you died before I was 8!" Inuyasha looked down at her stunned. Trinity's face hardened a little and she looked down at her younger form again. "As the new head lo tech in the future I have the ability to watch you from my time, if I see you going against my wishes…then I will kill her myself!" Trinity yelled pointing at her younger self. Teen Trin sighed and turned around. "I know you all just want to help me but…I would rather kill myself than allow history to repeat itself!" Teen Trin disappeared with a crack of lightning.
Nothing much was said about the encounter afterward. Inuyasha and Kagome talked about it alone at first but Sachi was left to stew in what she learned. The three elder children ended up going back to school while Trinity was still recovering.
Sachi sighed as she easily made an orb and Tsubaki promoted her up in rope color. Her mind was still on her little sister, she had been told SHE was the Chosen One but it always seemed that her sister was in the middle of everything. She once felt that she had to protect Trinity from everyone, now she felt that she should let Trinity get hurt. It was a terrible feeling but the thought of her sister getting hurt didn't upset Sachi at all, it didn't make her happy but it didn't make her sad either. She wanted to be special again, she hadn't known about being the Chosen One but Sachi had always had a feeling that she was special, now her sister was taking this away from her.
Sachi mentally kicked herself for her thoughts; it wasn't really her sister's fault she was being pushed into the spot light by all of this craziness. Trinity was only trying to help by pretending to be Aunt Trin, and if it weren't for Trinity they all might have been tortured to death, but Sachi still had this terrible emotion.
Sachi sighed again as class ended and began to make her way to the shrine steps, just wanting to go back to her own shrine and sleep but she was stopped by someone running into her, causing her to fall backward onto her ass.
Sachi groaned and looked up glaring at the boy a little older than herself who was rubbing his head with a scowl on his face. The boy was a couple inches taller than herself and her looked strange.
He had short black hair with silver tips, his hair flared out like he gelled it but is seemed natural in a way. His eyes were a deep violet and he was pretty toned for a young teenage boy. He wore the monk robes that the boys at the school wore and his robes were all black, indicating he was very powerful.
The boy eyed her for a minute, scrutinizing Sachi. Sachi blinked and glared up at him harder waiting for him to say something. The boy eyed Sachi's black hakamas for a minute and smirked.
"You are the Chosen One right?" the boy said amused. Sachi blinked in surprise and nodded slowly. The boy held out a clawed hand and Sachi suddenly noticed his demonic features, his ears were pointed and had a scaly look about them. He had fangs but they looked longer than her own fangs, his hands were clawed but at the top of his hand scales could be seen, shining a lavender color just like his ears. 'A demon?' Sachi thought curiously.
"Who are you?" asked Sachi, letting her be pulled up and then she quickly pulled her hand away wondering what the strange tingling of her hand was about.
The boy smirked arrogantly and shrugged. "Fafnir, I'm from the West, would you like me to call you Chosen One or do you want to give me your name?" he teased.
Sachi blushed and tried to force a scowl on her face. "My name is Sachi Takahashi…I have to go now Fafnir! Bye!" Sachi smiled suddenly and ran by the boy and down the steps. Fafnir looked after her with a smirk on his face. He couldn't help but look a little below her torso at a certain area while she ran off.
"Everything going according to plan…" Fafnir said slyly and began to walk idly back to class.
