Aki: I'm back!
Kat: AHH! Runs away
Aki: Well…that's one way to get rid of her…
Kat: HEY!
Aki: Well ONTO THE CHAPTER! I KILLED KIKYO! YAY!
Kat: We HATE Kikyo so if you're a Kikyo lover we're sorry…we don't mean any offence!
Aki: Yeah…what she said…NOW ONTO THE CHAPTER!
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXInuYasha and Kagome walked back to the village with Kaede, Kagome silently wondered what was in the box.
"Who was that?" Kaede asked.
"A friend who helped me and Sango out when Naraku kid napped us." Kagome said.
"You know she said you can open it now." InuYasha said. Kagome nodded and opened the box, inside was a picture. It was of Kagome, her mom, her father, and two other people. Kagome was dressed in a little kimono that was red, her mother was in the same one only it was blue. Her father was wearing InuYasha's outfit but his was green, and the two girls were wearing miko outfits.
"WHOA!" Kagome said. "That's Kikyo, and there's Kaede!" InuYasha and Kaede looked at the picture.
"Aye, that picture was drawn by a famous person named Akiuka." Kaede said. "She was famous then she just stopped drawing and disappeared, these are sold at a high price." Kaede said.
"But I don't get it! If Kagome's from this time how can she still be so young?" InuYasha asked.
"Time travels a very complicated thing, there's twists and turns we don't know about but still go through, it might seem as easy and jumping into the well but there's more to it." Kagome explained.
"My head hurts." InuYasha said. Kagome laughed.
"InuYasha…will ye ever grow up?" Kaede asked. The two girls laughed leaving InuYasha with his headache.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Aki"Why did you give them that picture!" A man's voice growled at Aki.
"Because it was my picture to give." Aki said plainly. "Is there anything else I was called her for other than to explain myself to someone lower in standing then myself?" she growled out, not meaning to. She felt a hot sword stabbed through her stomach, Kagome maybe nice but her father sure wasn't.
"Remember the debt you owe me?" he asked.
"How could I not?" Aki asked as blood came to her mouth. "You tell me every day."
"Good then you'll stop mouthing off to me and go fix what you started." He growled at her, even though he was human he didn't act like it. He was more of a monster than Naraku was. "And clean up that blood." He added, Aki bit her tongue to stop from growling at him, it would only cause her more pain. Aki took out the sword that he had left there and cleaned it, this was almost a daily routine with them.
He's going to let the evil consume him and then I'll have to go clean up his messes. Aki thought bitterly. She started cleaning up her spilt blood and left. She sighed, this life was going to be the end of her, she didn't ask him to save her, and she would have gladly died if she knew this was going to happen. Aki didn't walk to Kagome and InuYasha but to Sesshoumaru to tell him to be on his guard. The guards opened the door and she walked in.
"Where's Sesshoumaru?" Aki asked one of the servants. They pointed to Rin's room, Aki walked in. Sesshoumaru's eyes flicked over and then went back to staring at the wall.
"Aki!" Rin said happily as she ran over and gave Aki's knees a hug since she couldn't reach much higher.
"Hey Rin, I'm here to talk to Sesshoumaru, then I have to go, I can't stay today." Rin nodded and went back to braiding Sesshoumaru's hair.
"Yes?" he asked in a bored tone.
"Watch for strange things. Something's going to happen but I don't know what." She said. "Now I'll tale my leave of you." Aki turned around and left, leaving an irritated Sesshoumaru with a hair braiding Rin.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Kagome and friends"Kagome, what's that?" Sango asked.
"Well…it's a picture that Kaede says was drawn by Akiuka. And it's of my, my mom, my dad, Kikyo, and Kaede." Kagome said. "But we can't figure out how it's possible." Kagome said.
"Well you do travel through time so it's possible that you'd be this young. So let's forget about it for a little bit." Sango said.
"I can't, that's just it! I have to go find Aki and talk to her about it." Kagome said.
"I'll come with you. We may have been kidnapped and all that but hey, what's another adventure?" Sango asked, Kagome hugged her friend.
"Thanks Sango." Kagome said. "You go ask Miroku if he's going to come, I'll get InuYasha to track Aki's scent." Kagome ran off to fine InuYasha. "InuYasha! I need you to do something for me!" Kagome yelled.
"What do you need me to do?" InuYasha asked.
"I need you to find Aki's scent and follow it. That way I can find out if this picture is real or not." Kagome said.
"There's one little problem. She had it masked every time I saw her so I don't know it." InuYasha said.
"There's one person who does." Kagome answered. InuYasha looked at her, his eyes asking for the question. "Sesshoumaru." She said.
"There's no way in hell I'm going to him for help!" InuYasha growled.
"Please InuYasha! I wont ask you to do anything with him again!" Kagome said, her eyes pleading with him.
"Fine…you owe me, you know how much I hate him." InuYasha said. Kagome smiled and hugged him. Then she went to go tell Sango.
"Sango?" Kagome asked.
"In here, I was hiding from Miroku because he wanted to watch me get changed and we're not even married." Sango said as she came out of a hut dressed in her usual ware with her exterminator outfit underneath.
"Ok, we're going to Sesshoumaru to get what Aki smells like and then we're going to find her." Kagome said.
"Oh, there's no reason for that." Aki said. "I've found you." She said from behind with a smile on her face.
"Hey Aki." Sango said.
"Hey Sango." Aki replied, she wasn't smiling any more. "If you have any questions please ask them and I'll do my best to answer them." She said as she ushered them into the hut Sango had just come out of.
"First of all is this picture real?" Kagome asked.
"Yes, I drew it."
"Second why are you bleeding?"
"Someone stabbed me through the stomach with a hot sword and it hasn't closed yet."
"Is my father still alive?" Kagome asked.
"Yes, I must go, keep the picture, I'll face your father alone and keep him away from you. The results will be catastrophic if he finds you." Aki said, she walked out, then she stumbled back in, she had an arrow in each of her shoulders and she couldn't move them. "Sango, get Kagome out of here. Make your own door if you need to."
"Come on." Sango said as she knocked down the wall with her hiraikotsu. Then dragged Kagome away.
"No! We have to help her!" Kagome yelled.
"She told me to take you away and I have to! Something's not right here!" Sango said as she turned a corner, dragging Kagome with her.
"But-!" Kagome protested as Aki was thrown through several houses.
"Damn you! Hurry up! Get her to the future! I'll be there as soon as possible!" Aki said.
"You can get through the well!" Kagome and Sango asked.
"Go already! Or he's going to kill you and everybody here!" Aki growled, she couldn't do much with her arms so she was stuck using her legs, which didn't do much when you have to run to keep from dying. Sango ran with Kagome as fast as they could to get to the well and get into the future, Sango threw Kagome in.
"Don't worry, we'll still be here when you get back." Sango said, Kagome disappeared into the flow of time and came out in her time, then she waitedin the well house for Aki.
"Dammit!" Aki cursed. Kagome's father pinned her up against a wall and shoved his sword into her stomach again.
"You shouldn't do this. I'll turn you back into a human and then you'll slowly die away." He said.
"Good! Then I wont have to deal with you! Ever wonder why Kagome's mother sent her and herself into the future!" Aki growled. "Because they know what'll happen when you and Kagome meet, the world will be destroyed and no one will live." Aki growled, she spat on him and kicked him away. She ran as fast as she could to the well and jumped in. Then she popped out in Kagome's time. "Get away from the well." Aki growled.
"What's going on!" Kagome asked.
"Well your Dad doesn't want you to know about him because he's a disgrace and even if you did meet him the two of you together would destroy the world." Aki explained. "So you and your mother were sent into the future almost at the same time that I was turned into a demon."
"You were turned into a demon?" Kagome asked.
"Yes, I was severely injured and very close to death when your father found me. He turned me into a demon so that I could live but would forever be indebted to him, then he could use me to get to you. He gave my soul to a dead demon's body and I was able to live on."
"This is too much. Start at the beginning." Kagome said. Aki nodded and began telling the story from where she knew it started.
