Book the Fourth: Xianshua's Past

Kenshin sat up and began. "A long time ago, almost 400 years, their was a prediction or prophecy made. That prophecy was about you. The man who made it was a highly positioned demon from another world—"

"InuYasha's world?"

"Er… yeah…. So anyway, this demon wasn't believed at first. You see, the prophecy was:

A time will come, when light and darkness themselves join and form a weapon of terrible destruction. Though, it will not be of demon blood but mortal blood. These three will be eternally joined in an unbreakable bond that will lead to their own destructions. It cannot be avoided. The light and dark cannot be separated by any means of attempts. This weapon shall destroy the world.

"You may not understand why I'm telling you this, but it's very important that you know. It's essential that you know how the process works."

"Why are you telling me this?"

"Well, because the light is you."

"What!"

"You are the light itself, and that voice you hear is the weapon of terrible destruction. It calls to you. It yearns for you to bring it back to life. What it says isn't important, however. You must ignore it. You MUST."

"Wait, wait, wait. Back up. Are you saying that I, Je- ehem, I mean, Xianshua, have this duty to create… a weapon?"

"Not just a duty, a destiny. That is what your made for. Powers and all."

"Powers!"

"Yes. You control all things that are of the light. You have healing powers and you can even purify demons and such. Basically you are light."

"……….Well, uh, what about the dark….?"

"I don't know who the dark is. All I know is that, if you are the light, then the dark must be someone just as close to Ruan."

"Huh? Why Eri—um, Ruan?"

"Apparently, she didn't explain the situation," he sighed, "Ruan is that terrible weapon in the prophecy."

Thump-thump-thump….. Xianshua felt fear, shock, horror, and disbelief all in one. She could hear her heart beating so loud she thought her ear drums would pop out. Tears tried to overcome her but she resisted.

"…………W--………..Which means…………."

"Ruan will be destroyed very soon. Ceasing to exist, ever again. Not even your powers could bring her back," he layed his hand on her shoulder, "I'm sorry."

What……… should I do…………….? This isn't happening….. it's not…….. it can't be real... It's not…………… I--………I--……… Tears burst out as she quickly slammed the door open, and ran outside. She ran, and she felt like it took hours to reach the wet hillside that Ruan sat on.

"R-…ua...n!" Ruan quickly turned around and saw the tears in Xianshua's eyes. "Xianshua, what is it! Did something happen!"

Xianshua just dove on her giving a big hug. "Kenshin's lying! He can't be true!" Ruan pulled her up to a sitting position. "About what!"

"About…….. you being the weapon….."

"He told you! No….." she gritted her teeth.

"I don't want you to die….." Xianshua sniffed. Ruan slightly smiled.

"Don't worry about it..." Ruan said calmy, even thoughher anger was ready to lash out atKenshin,"Come on, let's go inside, Xia."

She helped her walk back to the dojo, still angry with Kenshin. As they approached the dojo Ruan stopped dead in her tracks. "What's wrong---"

"Ssh!"Ruan whispered.

The rain had settled down but, not by much. Xianshua breathed heavily looking around at the surroundings, but Ruan looked as if time had stopped. Xianshua questioned what was going on about ten million times in ten seconds.

………….Xia…………n………shua………….. a voice whispered.

"….Who's that….?"

Xian….shua….. it said again, only louder.

"R-Ruan…. I hear that voice again….!" Ruan's attention immediately targeted on Xianshua. "Don't listen! DON'T!"

She….. doesn't know what… she's talking about….. Xianshua………

"Stop it!" She squatted down and cupped her ears. "STOP!"

Thump-thump-thump…. Xian…. thump-… shua….. thump-thump………. She barely could hear anything now. The voice got louder; her heart beat louder than ever.

Why is this happening……!

"Xianshua!"

She opened her eyes. "…. Xianshua…..!" Her voice became distant. Then she realized she was no longer on the ground. Someone had a tight hold of her.

"Let go of me, you jerk!" She turned around suddenly seeing the man who held her. He had long silver hair and….. Dog ears?

"Are you….. InuYasha…..!"

He turned his head around facing her. "Don't compare me to that half-demon, you pathetic mortal."

"T-Then you're……"

"Sesshomaru. Don't push it mortal. I'm merely using you to obtain the weapon of destruction."

"Go away!" she said struggling to free herself. "Get your hands off of me!"

"Even the mighty Kenshin Himura cant stop me." He finished with a grin. "This time he'll regret standing in my way..."

End of Chapter 4

Ok so that one was kinda wierd but I wanted to make Sesshomaru a bad guy... (no offense to fluffy luvers!) cuz he just never plays in a role that makes him uh... bad. So no hating reviews please XD
