Back to the Future
"Someone said,
'A broken heart would sting at first, but make you stronger.'
I wonder why this pain remains.
Were hearts made, oh, just to break?" –Barlow Girl

Azurine felt good as cold, future air swelled inside her lungs. Big, fat flakes of snow were falling and Miroku looked paler than normal without a jacket on. Azurine grabbed onto him and hugged him.

"Should we go shopping, now?" Sarah suggested.

"But I like it like this," Miroku complained, holding Azurine tightly to him.

"You're going to freeze to death," Yuto advised, shaking his head.

Azurine pulled back and added, "Not to mention, this is a little awkward."

Miroku hung his head. "Oh all right," he agreed.

After another quick trick to the Salvo, they booked a room at the Hojo, (not the Hojo from the series, the hotel chain), and headed to the pharmacy.

Azurine was moseying down the book aisle, flipping through the pages of an old copy of Harry Potter. She frowned in disgust. "J. K. Rowling is a horrible woman," she mumbled as she put it down again.

That's when she saw him.

She had looked down the main aisle expecting to see Sarah coming to scold her for splitting up or Miroku wandering around for her, but she never expected this.

"Hello, Azurine," grinned Cain.

Azurine quickly walked away across the store at a careless pace though her mind was telling her to run and scream. She met up with Sarah halfway and the woman pulled at her arm. "Come on, we've got to get the guys away form the lava lamps."

"It seems to have some sort of demon in it," Miroku declared, staring intently at an orange lava lamp.

"Should we attack it?" Yuto questioned.

"No, I think it's dormant."

Azurine shook her head at her friend and Sarah looked at her in concern. "What is it?" she asked.

"C-C-Cai-" she stuttered.

Cain popped out from around a corner. "Boo." He walked out and stood before them. "Ah, and how are you Miss Sarah? Is the baby well?"

Azurine gave Sarah a look that meant 'Go get the guys' and the woman darted off as fast as she could.

Cain, finally able to use his demon-powers effectively, easily seized Azurine's mind. The girl's fear had weakened her resolve leaving her wide open to his tricks. Cain took his ex-ward by the hand and led her out of the exit.

Miroku caught up in the parking lot, closely followed by Yuto with Sarah trailing slightly behind. "Let her go, Cain," the monk roared. "She's not yours any longer!"

Azurine watched from behind cloudy eyes. Please, guys, help me! she thought desperately.

"She has her own children now, Cain," Sarah added.

"Oh, Sarah, don't be silly. You know that doesn't matter to me and can be easily remedied," he replied coolly. He took a pocketknife out and flipped it open. As he lightly pressed the blade to Azurine's shoulder, a thin trail of blood pooled on her skin.

"Do you think it's sharp enough to pierce the womb?" he asked mockingly.

Miroku paled. "Don't! Let her go!"

Cain smirked and he and Azurine disappeared.

"Her house!" Sarah cried.

They ran for it, Miroku in the lead, praying it wouldn't be too late.

I'm never going to forgive Miroku for purifying me. Azurine thought bitterly as she attempted to chew through her rope-gag.

Who says he purified you?

What? Who said that?

'S' me, your demon form. I'm not gone.

Well then, where are you?

I'm bound up within you so I do not hurt the monk's children.

Well, the monk's children are going to die if you don't get out here and do something!

Well, all right then!

The two consciousnesses combined into one and gnawed straight through the rope.

Azurine stretched her mouth a few times. Hey, how is it, if you're me, we think differently? I mean we were in perfect unison for the past few years. What's going on here?

I wasn't ever able to see the world as an individual. For the first twelve years of life, we were in unison. When Cain found you and took away your memories, it was if I had just taken a nap. Then you got your memories back and it was just like in the beginning. However, once you became impregnated, we knew that the monk's pure blood would either harm me or vice versa, so we split apart and I bound myself up.

Wow…thanks. That's…wow, Azurine murmured in astonishment

And now that I've had a few months to myself, free of our combined consciousness, we have become…different.

Great, so I'm schizophrenic.

Are not. Anyway, what should we do now? Cain's not very happy and he's at top strength. You're not.

But you're past top strength. You've been sleeping for so long, you can fight him.

But if I take over fully, your children will be unholy. I don't think your husband will…

Miroku won't care! He wants his child! If I lose it, what's going to happen to us?

All right, then. Brace yourself.

Okay.

Azurine felt a twinge of pain and everything went dark.

Miroku was the first one to see it.

Azurine looked just as she always had from behind with her head bowed. He spotted her the moment he broke through Cain's front door. Azurine was crouched over a limp looking Cain with her back to the door.

"Azurine? Are you all right?" he asked.

She rounded on him; her face was angry and hateful. Her emerald green eyes had turned deep amber in color. No recognition shone in them at all. Blood, Cain's blood, streaked her clothes. Claws, fangs, and ears had all grown into those of a demon. She growled menacingly.

What do I do? Miroku wondered to himself frantically. If I hurt her, I hurt our children. I'll just have to fend her off. He held his staff out in a defensive stance.

Azurine ripped the staff out of his hands, startling the monk and leaving his whole front open.

"Azurine. It's me, Miroku. What happened?" he asked calmly. "What's wrong?"

"You. You and Sango. You gave up on me." Azurine grabbed Miroku by the throat. "You would have let me die."

Miroku paled. "I'd never let that happen!"

"You let Cain rape me!"

"N-no! Azurine, I'd never! I love you!"

"Prove it."

He gently pushed her hand away from his neck. "I married you, didn't I?"

"You were getting desperate!" Azurine argued. "You figured that if you didn't act now, you'd never get your chance!" She poised herself to attack him and Miroku braced himself.

"Wind net!"

Before Azurine could even see who had spoken, ropes of wind wrapped tightly around her body, pinning her arms to her side.

"Sorry, Azzy. You left us no choice." Sarah appeared from behind Miroku, her hand raised and holding on to the ends of the wind net. She looked at Miroku. "Kiss her."

"Huh? Why?"

"Are you protesting?" Sarah smiled. She was a little pale and sweat was beading on her forehead. Yuto placed his hand on her shoulder and fed her some energy.

Miroku paused and kissed Azurine just a little bit. Slowly, her ears, nails and teeth returned to normal and she kissed him back. Sarah let go of the net and slumped into Yuto, her face pale and her hands shaky.

Azurine, her strength spent as well, collapsed into Miroku. "Wh-what happened? Where's my jacket…I'm all bloody! Did Cain get me?"

"No, you're alright. I think Cain is the one who's beaten up. See?" He pointed to the man lying on the floor. He was barely breathing and bleeding from all over his body. He didn't look well.

Azurine lost all color from her face. "I did that?" she squeaked.

Miroku nodded, hugging her tightly. And you could have done much worse. Please be more careful. You'll hurt yourself, not to mention our child. "Come on, you need to rest."

She nodded and Sarah took her friend's arm, glancing at Miroku.

"Go on," he said. "I'm going to grab her jacket." He smiled and Sarah nodded in understanding.

Yuto took Azurine's other arm and the three left. Miroku knelt beside Cain and hit him on the forehead. "Wake up."

Cain blinked awake, unable to move. "Y-you're that monk Azurine's with!" He coughed. "Hope you know…the child's probably dead. Either it's been purified or contaminated to the point of death.

Miroku's resolve didn't shudder. "I have never seen such a disgusting display. I can't leave you to blame Azurine. So, I hope you enjoy my wind tunnel!"

Miroku caught up around the end of the block. Azurine quickly ducked into the park bathroom and came out with only her trench coat on, her scarf tied tightly around her middle so she didn't feel like such a fool.

They then headed off to the hotel.

Chapter End

There ya go. Next chapter is a Bonus about Koga and Serena. So you'll hve to wait a litte longer to know what happens at the hotel.

Until next week, Bai-bai!

Blooper: A reference to Potter Puppet Pals.

Cain popped in from around the corner. "Boo"

Sarah went running off. "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Cain chuckled evily. "Now, Azurine is mine."

"Wait, you can't do this."

"Oh yes I can." He began to take over her mind.

"Wait!"

"What is it?"

Azurine paused a moment before running off.

"Hey! Blast."

Just then, Sarah came running back in, still screaming. When she got to Cain she stopped and stared a moment. She then poked him and ran away. "Whee!"

Cain growled.

The end.
