RECAP
"No! I won't let you use me against my friends!"
"You don't have a choice."
KAG POV
Selena's eyes were filled with evil. I could see it. They faded from a dark gray to a light almost white gray. She was frowning and the jewel shard in her chest was glowing very brightly. Her hand was trembling in the air. It almost went down and then it moved back up fluently. My other arrows had fallen through the cloud. All but one. It lay near my feet. The one I held in my hand with the bow was trembling.
"You bastard!" Inu Yasha cursed," How dare you use her!"
"BOW AND ARROW!" She suddenly screamed. The bow and arrow that I held in my hands suddenly disappeared in white and blue lights and appeared in her hand. She aimed at us.
"DIE!" She screamed, her voice accompanied by Naraku's. Tears were falling down her cheeks. She shot the arrow.
END RECAP
SEL POV
My arms were trembling as I aimed the arrow. I felt the tears coursing down my cheeks but I couldn't do anything about them.
"No! I won't kill my friends!"
"Stop fighting me child, you don't have a choice."
"NO! I will stop you!"
"Shoot the arrow."
"NO!" My arm however was listening. Neither was my voice.
"DIE!" it came, accompanied by a much deeper one. I knew what I had to do. I focused all of my willpower on bending my knee. If my knee bent then I would lose my aim. As my arms shot the arrow, I succeeded. My knee bent low and the arrow, glowing pink, shot out of the cloud and into the sky above us. I lost my balance and fell on my hands and knees, the bow still grasped in my left hand.
For a brief second I felt Naraku's grip on me fade. I reached to my chest and suddenly there was a terrible pain again and my body was his puppet again.
"Insolent wench, you can't beat my control." Naraku said, smirking. He made me look up at him. I tried with all my might and I succeeded in lifting my hand up just enough to flip him off. Then, the pain hit again I was moving involuntarily.
"NARAKU!" Inu Yasha yelled and jumped towards him. Before I could even register what he was doing, Naraku made me get up in front of him, my arms forming an X. Inu Yasha jumped back and shouldered his sword.
"Using a human as a shield Naraku? That's a new low for you."
"It's a human that you won't try to hurt. I'm content with my actions, Inu Yasha."
Suddenly, my athames appeared. They glowed black, unlike most of the time when they glowed white.
"Uh oh… not good…"
My legs started moving and I was charging at Inu Yasha. I jumped up and dived at him and Kagome, my arms forming an X at my wrists. Inu Yasha thrust up his sword and they connected. A bright light emanated from Tetsusaiga. Electricity surged through my body, but I wasn't allowed to pay attention to me. Soon, my eyes welled up from the pain.
"Selena, I don't want to hurt you! Fight him!" Inu Yasha yelled.
"You're going to have to." My voice said in a cold way, it was still accompanied by Naraku's.
"I'll use my Wind Scar if you don't let her go Naraku!"
"You won't use that wretched attack in fear that you'll hurt her! You're such a fool Inu Yasha!"
I mustered as much will power as I could to use my voice.
"D….Do….i-it…." I murmured, for once, using my own voice. He stared at me incredulously. Again I mustered up my will power when I felt Naraku's grip loosen slightly.
"DO IT!" I screamed. He nodded solemnly. I felt my body being pushed back by the Tetsusaiga. Suddenly, I was hurled backwards by the suddenly strength of the sword. It glowed red and wind swirled around it. I landed on my feet next to Naraku. I was again pushed in front of the evil man.
"You're not going to do it are you!" Kagome screamed at Inu Yasha, "She'll probably be killed!"
"She won't die… she told me to and I trust her judgment. Besides, she can heal herself." Inu Yasha said. Even though I could not control my body I could feel apprehension in the air. Naraku obviously couldn't. I could feel him getting worried.
"Getting worried are we?" I asked him in my mind.
"Shut your mouth wench. He won't attack. He doesn't have the gal."
"Just watch him. He's better than you'll ever be and you know it."
At that he turned me around. I faced him and he slapped me. My cheek burned as he made me turn my head back to him.
"Don't ever think that about me wench." He snarled.
"WIND SCAR!" I was turned around just in time to see three streams of light fly out of the sword. The lights were very fast. If I could move I knew I wouldn't make it out of the way. I gasped inwardly as a stream hit me. Naraku lost his grip on me at exactly the same time and I screamed in pain. I flew back and landed on the floor of the cloud, only to fall through. I saw Naraku getting hit head-on by at least two streams of light. I could see my blood falling above me as the cloud dispersed. Kagome was on Inu Yasha's back and he was falling towards me. I felt him grab my hand. Then, his other hand reached for my chest. A small pin-prick of pain hit me, adding only slightly to the already immense pain that I was feeling, and then he pulled away holding a small crystal, it was shining pink now. I was pulled against him as he landed and he placed me on the ground gently.
"She purified the shard?" Kagome asked.
"I guess so." Inu Yasha said. I hard a small clinking sound and then Kagome and Inu Yasha were leaning over me.
I smiled faintly.
"Hi." I said.
"Hi," Kagome said. Their faces started to glow like they were sitting next to a fire suddenly. I reached a hand up frailly and noticed that I was glowing.
"Good, she's healing herself." Inu Yasha said. I felt my strength returning and my hand stopped glowing. I sat up and looked at them both. I touched my shoulder where I had been hit. It was healed completely, not even a scar.
"I can't believe I almost killed them both…"
I looked up at them both, tears welling in my eyes.
"What's wrong?" Kagome asked. I suddenly reached out and pulled them both to me, hugging them tightly. Kagome hugged me back and Inu Yasha stiffened but then relaxed and hugged me back.
"I'm soo sorry! I should have tried harder to get him out of me! Please forgive me guys?" I said, starting to cry.
"Why wouldn't we?" Kagome said, pulling away. She smiled cheerfully," I was possessed once and almost killed Inu Yasha too. I still feel terrible about it but it's in the past now… not a thing I can do about it. Same for you. Plus, we killed the guy who did it so now we're even!" I smiled weakly.
"It wasn't your fault Selena. I'm pretty much used to it. A lot of people are trying to kill me. I have a lot of enemies…" He said, he voice trailing off. I pulled him back into a hug and then pulled back to look at him.
"I don't know why people would hate you. I mean, you are stubborn but you know what's right. But I want to thank you for trusting me today. You have no idea how annoying it is to have Naraku in your head." I said with a smirk. He grinned and chuckled.
"How do you make a joke 2 minutes after you almost died?" Kagome asked, shaking her head. I giggled and stood up, brushing my school uniform off. Inu Yasha stood too.
"He escaped…" Inu Yasha growled, looking up.
"I saw him get hit, directly by 2 streams of the wind scar. I think you injured him pretty good." I said.
"We should be getting back." Kagome said. We both nodded and walked back to camp. Inu Yasha and Kagome were ahead of me when he turned to her and said something. She nodded and went ahead. He stopped and waited for me. I walked up to him.
"What's up? Why's Kagome going ahead?"
"I need to ask you something." He said, looking from Kagome's retreating back and then back to me.
"Why didn't you use your powers on Naraku?"
"Well… If I had orbed I would have taken him with me and that wouldn't have done any good. Also, miasma was spinning around me so I had to cover my mouth and nose, using both hands. When he grabbed me I let go of my mouth and hands to scream and he grabbed them both. So I couldn't freeze him or make him fly into a tree."
"Don't you have like a protect-"
"If I had a protection spell, if ANY witch had a protection spell, we wouldn't be hunting demons; we would be getting on with our daily lives." I snapped at him.
"Oh…" He said, looking away. He started walking slowly and I caught up with him and walked next to him.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to snap, it's just… I can't help thinking that…"
"That what?"
"If you had hesitated, we wouldn't be having this talk… I'm glad you trust me. When, I first met you, I got a feeling of deep distrust. Like you only trusted a very few amount of people."
"I do. I don't trust anyone…besides my friends. But the thing is… I've never had friends before, Sango, Miroku, Shippo, Kagome, and Kirara are my only friends. And, now you. What amazes me is how much I've let my guard down around you. And so quickly when it took me almost 3 months to completely trust Kagome. I guess it's because we're kind of alike." This caught my attention. I turned my head to look at him.
"What do you mean?"
"We were both orphaned at a very young age. The only difference is that you were adopted. You probably never really trusted anyone until you got here. Am I right?" I nodded.
"Same with me except I was on my since I was about 8. I was kicked out of my village… because I'm a half-breed. My mom was the only reason that I was allowed to stay and when she died I was cast out…" He said, a sad expression gracing his features. I felt so bad for him.
"That's a completely wrong thing to do, cast out a child… no matter how different they are, it's still wrong." I said, placing a reassuring hand on his back.
"I would hug you but I'm not the right person to do that." I said with a smile.
"Really now?" He said, smirking.
"Yup, you need to go to Kags for that." I suddenly felt someone watching me from afar. I know that Inu Yasha smelt him, and hopefully wouldn't say anything.
He stopped walking and looked behind us. Then, he looked back at me.
"Don't stay out too long." He said, pulling me into a light hug, and then walking through the woods back to the village.
"Why do you always watch me from afar?" I asked him as he stepped out into the slanted light of the sunset, the shadows from the trees obscuring his face.
"When ever I watch you from afar, it's because you're with someone at the moment." He said, coming closer.
"Oh, a gentleman." I said, smirking.
"You smell like Naraku." He said, frowning slightly.
"Oh… yea… about that…"
"But you mostly smell like my brother. His scent overpowers Naraku's."
"And that's…?"
"Better, I'd rather you smell like him than Naraku." He said, wrinkling his nose somewhat. I giggled and walked up to him. I hugged him and he stiffened.
"Oh, come ON. You can't honestly tell me you don't know what to do when you're hugged." I said into his chest. He relaxed and an arm moved around my waist. I looked up.
"What about the other one?" I said.
"My brother cut it off." He said. My eyes went wide.
"I'm sorry I didn't know."
"Its not your fault." I pulled away from him," You know what?" I said, looking up at him.
"What?" He said, looking down at me. (Its like ,'' lol hahah)
"I'll fix for you. If you want that is." I said. A brief look of surprise crossed his face.
"You can do that?"
"Yes, but you have to promise me something."
"What?"
"That you won't hurt anyone with it. I mean no one, not even the person who took it off." I said, putting on a serious look.
"I won't. I promise."
"Do I have your word?"
"Yes, you have my word."
"Alrighty then let's fix this puppy… No pun intended." I said, a sweat drop falling behind my head. He moved away from me and lifted up his sleeve to reveal a sad stub of an arm. I moved my hand towards it and I saw him flinch just a bit.
"You trust what I'm going to do, don't you?" I asked, looking up at his face again.
"Enough to let you continue." He said.
I moved towards his arm again and place my hands lightly on it, barely touching the skin. My hands started to glow and slowly an outline of an arm started to form. I moved my hand down slowly, leaving a trail of glowing skin my its wake.
When I got to the fingertips, I looked up at him. He was staring at his arm. His face was showing a sliver of surprise on it. My hand stopped glowing and I lifted it away. He flexed his arm and made his hand into a fist and then stretched it out again.
"You did it." Was all he said. Then, he hugged me. I blinked in surprise.
"This is new…"
I slowly hugged him back and then he let go of me. He looked up at the now risen moon.
"You should be going. He said not to be out to late." Sesshomaru said before leaning down and kissing me again. I leaned into the kiss, wrapping my arms around his neck. I felt both arms encircle me and pull me closer. I tightened my grip around his neck which pulled his head downward, deepening the kiss even further. He started to pull away and I let him. My hands dropped from his neck to the top of his arms as I stared up at him. Then, he did something unexpected, at least on my part. He smiled. Then, me moved back and walked away through the trees. I shook my head.
"Men in the Feudal Era are harder to understand than men in the Modern Era."
I thought as I started back for the Village.
As I reached the beginning of the village, I heard shouting. It was coming from near Keade's hut. I sensed uncomfort and a small bit of hatred. As I got closer to Keade's hut, I saw it was surrounded by villagers.
"Oh great…" I said under my breath. All of the villagers were yelling but one loud and annoyed voice cut through them all.
"WOULD YOU ALL JUST SHUT THE HELL UP!" Inu Yasha yelled as he exited the hut. The area surrounding the hut was suddenly very quiet. You could hear a pin drop on the other side of the village.
"THANK YOU!" HE yelled again as he walked back inside. Kagome and Keade came out.
"Villagers, what ails ye?" Keade asked.
The villagers started talking all at the same time again. Inu Yasha poked his head out and they all shut up again. He poked his head back in.
"She does not belong here!" One villager said.
"Who?" Keade asked.
"That witch!" Another responded. I sighed and walked closer to the crowd.
"If you're going to talk about me, don't do it behind my back. Have some dignity geez." I said, flicking a couple of strands of hair behind my shoulder. They all turned and gasped.
"Like you weren't expecting me to come back?" I asked, walking closer to the hut. The crowd parted slightly and I walked through it. Then, someone grabbed my arm. I turned back to a burly man, about in his early 40's.
"You will leave this village at once!"
"I will?" I asked sarcastically.
"Yes!"
"How about… no." I said, pulling my arm from his grip. He grabbed it again and I glared up at him.
"Let go of my arm, please." I said, through gritted teeth.
"Leave now or face the consequences."
"LET GO!" I screamed. The villagers surrounding us moved backwards and the man glared at me.
"Leave now!"
"I SAID LET GO OF ME!" I yelled, and grabbed his hand. I did a turn and flung him over my shoulder. He landed on his back.
"I didn't know you knew Martial Arts!" Kagome said from in front of the hut.
"I was a model who lived in South Miami my whole life. I had to defend myself, you have any idea how many perverted people lived on my block alone?" (AN: That's true u noe, there are some perverted ass ppl down here. Take Bill Camol for example. He was a WEATHER MAN for channel 7 news and he nearly molested a BOY! Grossness. I do not have ANTHING against gay ppl but the kid was like 14 that's gross) I said as I straightened up. I looked around.
"Anyone else want a piece of this?" I asked, raising an eyebrow and frowning.
A head of dark hair came out of the hut.
"Yes!" Miroku shouted.
"MIROKU!" Sango screamed and pulled him back inside. I shook my head as a beating was heard.
"OW! OW SANGO! OW!"
"Now if you'll all excuse me." I said before walking into the hut. Kagome and Keade followed.
"OW SANGO! OW! OW! O-O-OW!" Miroku said as Sango kept hitting him.
I stared at the scene in front of me and almost laughed.
On the floor, sitting with his legs crossed, was Inu Yasha with a perturbed look on his face. He was looking at Sango and Miroku. Sango was slapping Miroku almost everywhere. Shippo was on top of Inu Yasha's shoulders with his arms on his head and staring at the fighting couple with wide eyes. Kirara was looking on with feline amusement and wagging her tails.
Sango hit Miroku on the head and he fell to the floor unconscious. He looked quite dizzy.
"I think you gave him a concussion." I said.
"Oh well…" Sango said. Shippo jumped from Inu Yasha's head, almost giving the poor guy whiplash as he did, and to the entrance to the hut. He peeked outside and then back in.
"The villagers are still out there." He said fearfully.
I rolled my eyes.
"Selena, Kagome told us what happened, are you okay?" Sango said, turning to me. I nodded and smiled.
"Yup, better than ever, if it makes you feel any better, Inu Yasha made Naraku nervous. And, I told him off."
Inu Yasha turned to me.
"I made him nervous?"
"Yeah, when you were about to attack with the wind scar. He was getting nervous. I told him off and that's why he slapped me."
"That's good news for us." Kagome said, "But I can't believe he slapped you. What a complete jerk!"
"Well he IS a villain…" Inu Yasha said with a bored expression.
"Whatever. Come one guys lets go before the villagers decide to try and burn me at the stake." I said with a laugh. Shippo jumped onto my shoulder.
"Wouldn't that be a bad thing?" Shippo asked. I looked at him and smiled.
"In a sense…" I said thoughtfully. Then, I grabbed my bag and heaved it over my other shoulder. After that, I held my hands out.
"Anyone for orbing?" I asked. The conscious ones nodded. Miroku mumbled something in his sleep about babies. I rolled my eyes and Inu Yasha took Miroku by his collar and dragged him over to where I was standing. Then, he grabbed Kagome's hand, who in turn grabbed one of my outstretched hands. Sango grabbed the other and Shippo held onto my shoulder tightly.
"Here we go, bye Keade see ya later." I said. The others bade their farewells and we orbed out of the hut.
