Chapter 12- Game Players (No I don't own Inu Yasha but the little people in my head say I will) Sorry guys…paranoid parents make writing stories kinda difficult. I started a new story and I'll try to update 1 story per week. So let's begin shall we…
"Here's your room," says Naraku. He closes the door to the sad girl.
"What's with her," asks Kagura.
"She's Sesshoumaru's downfall," answers Naraku smiling evilly.
Neptune sitting alone in the room begins to remember past events. She whispers softly, "Too strong and way too fast give me a demon built to last."
A demon appears in front of Sesshoumaru. He takes out Tokeijn. "I don't have time for this," he says eyes bleeding red once more.
Kouga catches up to Saturn. She's tired and is slowing down. He stops in front of her and commands her simply, "Get on." She agrees and Kouga takes off running. 'She's really not that bad,' thinks Kouga looking back at the sleeping figure that clings to him.
"Feelings never told or shared, make it be so they can see," says Neptune with a sad smile donning her simple face.
Saturn hears Neptune's words; sighing she realizes what she's done. 'I'll thank her later,' thinks Saturn drifting off into sleep once more.
Sesshoumaru kills the demon quickly. He takes off with sad thoughts in his mind.
Neptune sends an illusion of herself to see how everyone's doing; Kouga's running with Saturn clinging on to him, while Sesshoumaru is stuck in a cage (of course I don't know how that happened 'evil grin'). She sighs as tears fill her eyes again.
Sesshoumaru frees himself from his imprisonment with a minimum amount of struggle. He comes onto a path; a man stands in his way.
"Move," yells Sesshoumaru coldly and tiredly.
"I am the dog catcher, and no mutt will behave like that," replies the dog catcher. Sesshoumaru gets ready to attack, but before any moves are made the dog catcher pulls out a tin silver whistle. The sound sends Sesshoumaru to his knees as the dog catcher blows on the small whistle. Sesshoumaru crawls forward and slices the dog catcher in half. He dies; two more take his place. He kills them before they can reach for their whistles and is left with four more.
Twenty minutes later Kouga and an awaken Saturn arrive on the scene; 64 dog catchers are waiting. They blow on their whistles. Pain comes to all three demons.
"Neptune," cries Saturn. A second later and it stops.
"What
happened?" asks Kouga and Sesshoumaru.
"She either passed out
or didn't want me hurt," answers Saturn taking her hands off her
damaged ears.
"Having fun," asks Naraku as Neptune's mind races back from the recent illusion she sent. 'Silence' Naraku leaves angrily; things weren't going quickly enough.
"He tied me up and wouldn't let go, so take him up, please make it so," she says sleepily.
Sesshoumaru disappears. "Now where'd she put him," says Saturn confused. She hears a noise from above and sees a gagged and chained Sesshoumaru in a noose.
"She'll kill him," says Kouga slightly afraid.
"No if she wanted him dead he would be…she's dragging him on, but fore what I don't know," she says quietly. "Let's go."
"Shouldn't we help him," asks Kouga.
"If you touch him, she'll think you a threat and you'll become a player in her game," says Saturn.
"Well said," whispers an illusion in Saturn's ear from behind. Saturn turns around, but she was already gone.
Four hours later; Kouga and Saturn rest by a small fire. Kouga reaches over the half-dead (asleep) Saturn and kisses her on the cheek. He then whispers a goodnight and lies closely beside her.
"I like you too," she says.
"What," he asks a little shocked.
'Damn that true feelings spell,' she thinks. "Goodnight," she says as she sleeps soundly in Kouga's embrace.
Another four hours pass before Saturn notices a particular demon, lord watching them.
"What," she asks trying not to wake Kouga.
"We could have been like that, if only…"says Sesshoumaru in a sad tone.
"She'll, well…um actually I don't know what to say," says Saturn with no emotion. Sesshoumaru turns and starts to leave before Saturn's voice stops him, "do you love her."
He starts walking away, but his answer came truthfully and softly, "yes." 'I'm sorry Sarah, and I do love you,' he thinks as he continues again.
Neptune's mind and heart are spinning. She didn't want to kill him, and now more than ever she couldn't. He loves her. She thinks about all that has happened and decides there's only one thing to do…
