A New Beginning Chapter 4: The Prophecy, an inuyasha fanfic

Disclaimer: Once again, I don't own any of the InuYasha characters. However I do own Amaya and this plot.

This is chapter four enjoy! Warning: Some violence in the chapter, if you don't like it don't read it.

Amaya's POV

What was left of the day went pretty well, it soon became obvious to me that I had severely delayed the day's journey; I was informed of this as soon as we began walking by the 'toad'. I had decided this was what I was going to call it as I had taken an almost immediate dislike towards it. I simply flashed an evil smile at it, I knew I would have some fun later; I was very good when it came to mental torture. I wouldn't even have to raise a hand to it and I would have it running scared.

From the looks of it Sesshoumaru was headed somewhere, I could have asked where it was but I wasn't particularly concerned.

When we stopped for the night I was glad my boots weren't very good for walking in for hours and my feet where killing me. There was a hot spring near where we set up camp and Rin and I went to bathe in it, it felt so good afterwards to be clean after four days without a bath.

The problem began for me when I had to dressed; all my jeans were dirty so I couldn't wear them and the only thing I had left was my dress, but it had only been four days since my father and my brothers last beat me. I could still see the bruises and cuts all along my body and the dress would show an awful lot of these.

Seeing there was no way out I dried off and put on the dress leaving my boots off, I was tall and thin if it hadn't been for the purple bruises and red cuts that lined my arms and legs I wouldn't have looked half bad but as it was I looked terrible. I left the bandage off my face, the cut was still an angry red but at least it had stopped bleeding, I then walked back to camp with Rin.

As soon as we got to the clearing where we were camped, the fire cast light upon me and when Rin looked back at me, her eyes widen as she took in the sight of my limbs.

"Amaya what happened to you?" she said, "who did that to you?"

I put down my stuff and sat down, "Nothing happened to me Rin and no-one did this to me," I didn't what to talk about it; it was in the past it didn't matter anymore.

"But…" she replied, "your arms and legs."

I felt bad as she was clearly disturbed at the way I looked, I guess I couldn't blame her I felt the same way whenever I saw my reflection. "They're fine Rin, I'd rather not talk about it; it's in the past it no longer matters."

Sesshoumaru's POV

For the rest of the day I headed towards the village where InuYasha resided; I was annoyed at how much the human had delayed the start of the journey. It was dark when I finally decided to stop; Rin and the human went to bathe, that was one of the benefits of having her with us it meant that she could protect Rin.

When they came back the human had changed into what appeared to be a short kimono, her arms and legs were lined with cuts and bruises; she reminded me of when Rin had approached me and had her self been covered in bruises. I heard Rin ask her where they had come from but she refused to say.

Amaya's POV

After that Rin went over to bug Jaken, I was tired and so lay down and went to sleep, soon I was in the pleasant land of my dreams.

I was on a beach, the warm sun above my head; the rays streaming down onto me. The sky was clear and the only sound to be heard was the gentle swishing of the waves. The clouds turned black, the beach dissolved into my old bedroom and around me was my father and my brothers.

"So you tried to run away from us? Don't you know by now that you will never escape from us, you belong to us." They hissed at, as they brought their fists down upon my face knocking me to the floor, then the worst thing came the endless kicking, a sneer with every kick they delivered to my body.

"Bastards…" I breathed.

"What was that little sister!" They had heard me I didn't understand how but it bought me more blows to the ribs.

"You will never own me, never!" I barely whispered this but once again they heard me, one of them grabbed me by my hair and threw into the bedpost. I gasped with pain, it hurt so much but I would never give them the satisfaction of seeing me cry, I didn't cry no matter how much it hurt.

Another one then grasped me by the arm, dragging me out of the room; this time it was my father who had my arm. Standing on the top he held me out, I knew he was threatening to drop me to try and make me break but it was just a ploy he never did it. This time was different, "this'll teach you to try and run," then the grip loosened and I tumbled down hitting every step on my way down while they laughed their heads off at my pain, everything turned black.

My eyes shot open, everything was black around me and for a moment I didn't know where I was. My eyes adjusted to the darkness and I realised it was just a dream, they weren't here and they would never hurt me again.

I turned over to go back to sleep but that dream still lingered in my mind and I knew I wouldn't be sleeping again tonight. I got up and grabbing my knife from my boot walked out of the clearing, I checked before I left that everyone was asleep and seeing that they were I knew no-one would care if I went for a walk.

I walked my feet picking out a path free from stones and the like, I reached the end of the trees and found myself near the edge of a cliff; it was beautiful the sky was full of stars like I had never seen before and everything glowed in the gentle moonlight.

Sesshoumaru's POV

Everyone was asleep, even the human but she'dbeen tossing and turning. Now she had woken up and walked out of the clearing. I followed her just in case she was going to try and leave again.

She had walked out onto the edge of a cliff out in the open sky. I walked over to where she was standing. "What do you want?" she asked.

I was surprised at this, how had she managed to hear me I walked silently and most demons would struggle to hear me let along a human. "You know it's rude to sneak up on people like that," she spoke once again.

"Where did you get those bruises?" She didn't reply to this she just stood there silently. "I don't care, I'm just curious." This was true she reminded me of Rin when she had her bruises, I had asked Rin the same question. I later learned that it was the people in the village that she'd lived in.

"I'll tell you the same thing I told Rin, nothing happened to me and no-one gave me these bruises, it's in the past, now leave me alone!"

"This Sesshoumaru will not be ordered around by a human."

"Whatever," she said and then walked off, "don't follow me I'll be back."

The nerve of this girl, no human dared order me around but then again I had never come across a girl like this before.

Morning came all too soon, now I would have to go and see my half-breed bother to find out about this prophecy. The girl came back just before the sun rose, she didn't say a word about where she'd been but I didn't care.

Amaya's POV

Last night I had walked off, I had expected he would come after me but I was glad to see he didn't. I was only about 10 minutes away from where we had set up camp but here I'd been able to think, I had tried to do this on the cliff top but Sesshoumaru had had to ruin that. I had felt like punching him but there would have been no point in doing that it wouldn't even hurt him.

I came back just before dawn, I had fallen asleep but had luckily woken up in time to get back. Sesshoumaru just glared at me but didn't ask where I had been. Rin woke up soon after I got back and about half an hour later we started walking again.

We had been walking for hours when we finally emerged from the forest and began walking towards what looked like a village. Sesshoumaru headed towards one of the huts, outside of which there stood a girl wearing clothes like mine. Almost a second after we stopped outside the hut, a guy came out of the hut and looked straight at Sesshoumaru. "Feh, bastard," he said. He obviously didn't like Sesshoumaru much either. "What do you want Sesshoumaru?" he shouted going to withdraw the sword at his side.

Sesshoumaru's POV

"Is that anyway to speak to your older brother?" I said, "I'm not here to fight." I couldn't believe I had been reduced to seeking help from this half-breed.

"Then why are you here?"

"I don't want to be here but I need answers and you're the only one who can give them to me."

"Why the hell should I?"

"Because if you don't I'd be glad to introduce you to your tragic demise."

"Fine," he said and went inside, I followed him. "So, what do you want?" he asked obviously desperate to get this over with.

"I need to know what the prophecy we heard 60 years ago was about."

"Why would you need to know that?"

"I just do."

"Feh, it was a girl unknown to this world will come from her own to save the lives of all whom live and all who will come to be, she will be one who is named Suki. She will appear as nothing more than what she is but shall be the only one who can stop the greatest evil of all and close off the hell coming to reign in this world. Why do you need to know this anyway, I thought you refused to help a human?"

"It's none of your business, I've wasted enough time here," I walked outside. 'It's not her, she is just other worthless human but she will do to look after Rin.'

Amaya's POV

Sesshoumaru went inside with his brother, leaving Rin and I outside. The girl who was wearing clothes similar to mine came up to me, "hi, my name is Kagome. Who are you?"

"I'm Amaya, you don't come from here do you? You come from the same time as me." I asked I was sure she was like me.

"Your right I'm from 500 years in the future like you, how did you get here though I thought the well was the only way here?"

"If I knew how I got here do you think I'd be here now? Of course not! I have no idea how I got here"

"Calm down, I was only asking." She said, this girl was seriously too cheery for her own good.

"Whatever, I'm going for a walk, I'll be back." I told them this but in truth I was going to listen to what Sesshoumaru and his brother were talking about. I walked round to the other side and listened.

"I need to know what the prophecy we heard 60 years ago was about."

"Why would you need to know that?"

"I just do."

"It's none of your business; I've wasted enough time here," this was Sesshoumaru speaking, I knew he would be coming outside know, if I stayed here he would see me, I quickly dashed back round to where Kagome and Rin were.

"Are you alright?" Kagome asked me, then her face widened in shock, "What happened to you? You're covered in bruises, do Sesshoumaru do that?" so she had finally noticed I was wondering when she would.

"No, he didn't. Nothing happened to me, I'm fine and I would rather not talk about it." I said I was really getting annoyed with people asking me about this.

"Oh," she didn't know what to say no-one ever does when I say that.

"You know you said you came here through a well, do you think I would be able to go back through it?" I asked if I could then I had a way to get back if I ever needed to.

At this point Sesshoumaru decided to come back. "I think you could, why? Do you want to go back to your own time?" Kagome said.

"No, not now, I was just wondering."

"We're leaving," Sesshoumaru said.

"Hai Sesshoumaru-sama." Rin replied.

I didn't say anything I just followed behind, I was tired after last night and just kept quiet.

We walked further and further away from the village and once again only stopped at nightfall. I went with Rin to collect firewood and then got my jeans out of my bag and washed them in the stream. There was no way I was wearing this dress again until my legs and arms healed. I hung them to dry and then pulled out my diary.

14th August, 2005

Dear Diary,

I know I'm no longer in the year 2005 but I will keep writing this so I know what day it is back in my own time. We went to a village today and I found that there is a way for me to get back home but I decided that I'm better off here. After all at least now I'm away from all the things that I hated about my life, maybe things won't be so bad here.

I now know the truth about why I'm here; I'm the girl that a prophecy foretold about and it'll be my job apparently save the world. I don't know how I will do that or what that has to do with Sesshoumaru but I guess I'll find out soon enough.

Signed,

Amaya.

A/N: So that was chapter four. Sorry if the characters were OOC at all. If you liked this or even read ths then please review. I'm thinking of scraping this story as I've only had two reviews and think it must be because my story isn't good enough. If this isn't the case then please review.

Chapter 5: Amaya knows about the prophecy but what does this have to do with Sesshoumaru? Will Sesshoumaru ever find out that Amaya is in fact the girl the prophecy speaks of? Will Sesshoumaru ever stop callingAmaya 'human'?And will Amaya ever reveal her past? Find out in the next chapter.
