Mayu Kitsune
Trouble, Enter Michiko
Soon everyone had awoken, starting their day in various ways. Moyuru had gotten up when Naomi had kicked her in her sleep. Now they were both awake and Moyuru was brushing out the child's disheveled hair, putting it back into the pig tails the girl loved so much.
"What! She left already! Without telling me!" Inuyasha questioned loudly. He was outside, but despite that, Moyuru could still hear him and she couldn't help but to listen in.
"She said she was homesick." Sango stated.
"But she wasn't supposed to leave yet!" he protested. "Why did she just leave like that all of a sudden?"
"She seemed to be upset about something."
"Why would she be upset?" Inuyasha prompted.
Miroku entered the conversation, "What exactly happened between you and Moyuru last night?"
Inuyasha paused, "Nothing." he replied.
"How come you were gone with her so long then?" Miroku asked.
Inuyasha seemed to be lost for words, how to explain it. . . He sighed heavily, "She didn't have the heart to tell the girl what happened to her father so I went out to talk to her." he said.
"And," Miroku prompted.
"She was crying so I tried to comfort her, that's all." Inuyasha stated.
"Kagome must've seen you two together." Miroku mused.
"She was gone a little bit too long for just for a break." Sango agreed.
"You mean she was spying on me!" Inuyasha asked incredulously.
"I don't think that Kagome would spy," Miroku said in her defense, "there was something else that could have upset her."
"Like what?" Inuyasha demanded.
"Like the fact that you weren't in your usual spot this morning. Instead of being close to her the way you always are, you were close to Moyuru." Miroku pointed out.
Inuyasha fumbled a bit, "I was only trying to keep Moyuru from waking everyone up, she started moving around and mumbling in her sleep when I tried to leave." he stated quickly.
"There's another thing," Shippo began, now entering the conversation as well, "you're actually being nice to Moyuru, sometimes I think you should treat Kagome more like that."
Inuyasha again faltered, how was he supposed to explain it? "You haven't begun developing feelings for her have you?" Miroku asked.
"Well, I don't hate her." Inuyasha answered, "But it's not like I'm in love with her or anything." he added quickly.
"But you do seem to understand her and you also seem to have taken a strong liking to her." Miroku stated.
"It's because she's a hanyou like me okay!" Inuyasha said firmly, "Can't I just help another hanyou without you people gettin' all suspicious?"
"Looks like you're going to have to go back through the well and get her." Shippo stated.
"Forget it." Inuyasha said, his arms crossed in a stubborn manner.
The others looked to him in shock, "What? You mean you're not going to at least try to explain this whole thing to her?" Shippo exclaimed.
"What's the use? She obviously doesn't trust me if she's going to go spy on me." Inuyasha said coolly.
"But Inuyasha--" Shippo's protest was cut off.
"I'm not going over there to get her this time, she can just stay over there for all I care." Inuyasha stated as he moodily began to walk away.
"But Inuyasha! What if she doesn't come back?" Shippo called after him.
"Spare me!" Inuyasha yelled back, still walking.
Moyuru's ears drooped, Something else I've messed up. she thought woefully as she finished Naomi's hair.
Naomi turned to her, "Now it's your turn!" she exclaimed happily, taking the brush from Moyuru and moving to stand behind her. The little girl was apparently oblivious to the argument that had just taken place outside.
Moyuru sighed heavily. She was glad she had decided to brush her own hair out earlier or else the brush that the girl was running through it would have pulled a good part of it out.
Naomi reached a bit too high with the brush, hitting one of Moyuru's ears. Her ear involuntarily twitched at the slight touch. Naomi giggled, amused by it. She poked Moyuru's ear, it twitched and she laughed.
"Stop that." Moyuru whined.
Naomi ignored her and poked it again, resulting in another twitch.
"Aw c'mon, really, stop that!" Moyuru protested again.
"Your ears are funny." Naomi stated, poking both at the same time.
They both twitched.
"No they're not, they're just different." Moyuru argued.
"Well, my ears don't twitch." Naomi said, continuing to poke them.
"Stop that or. . .
"Or what?" Naomi challenged.
Moyuru turned to her, "Or you'll have to endure. . . TICKLE TORTURE!" she yelled playfully, attacking her and tickling her without remorse.
They both laughed loudly, Moyuru showing her biggest smile yet.
"Stop!" Naomi squealed, "Stop, that tickles!" she laughed.
"That's the idea," Moyuru replied, "So, are you going to stop playing with my ears?" Moyuru asked, still tickling.
"Yes! I'll stop!" Naomi answered through laughter.
Moyuru stopped, Naomi was now lying on the floor trying to catch her breath after her laughing had finally stopped. "Chichi does that to me a lot too, only he calls it something different." she said, sitting up now, "When can I go see him?" she asked.
Moyuru again fell silent. How could she tell her?
"What's wrong?" Naomi asked.
Moyuru stayed silent. . . how?
"You did save my chichi didn't you?" Naomi asked beginning to tear up, "Didn't you?" she pressed on.
Moyuru pulled her into a hug, "I'm sorry." she whispered, trying not to cry herself, "I couldn't. . . he died yesterday. . . I wish there was something I could do. I'm so sorry." she said.
Naomi cried into her front, the cloth of her shirt muffling her loud sobs.
Now what? Moyuru thought, Now what do I do? What can I do?
Kaede appeared in the doorway, having come to get some herbs for one of the villagers' sick sons.
Moyuru looked up at the slight sound of her entering.
"I see that ye have informed her." Kaede said assumed.
Moyuru only nodded to her.
"What is it that ye have decided to do?" Kaede asked.
Moyuru was silent, deep in thought. I can't stay here, I'll be putting everyone else in danger. she thought, Wait! Now Suzushi knows that I care about her, he could come back and try to use her against me. I can't just leave her here, these humans don't stand a chance and Inuyasha and the others can't be here all the time to protect them. I can't travel around with her, she's just a kid and she needs a place to live. She couldn't keep up with me anyway.
Moyuru's thoughts wandered a while before she seemed to come to a conclusion. "Lady Kaede, I'll take care of her." she stated boldly.
Kaede seemed a bit surprised by what she was proposing. "How do ye plan to take care of a child when ye are no more than a child either?" she questioned.
"I've been looking after myself for a while now, I can do it. . . I'll even work to get money an . . . an-and I'll protect her." Moyuru stammered, sounding as though she weren't sure of herself.
"Do ye realize what a responsibility ye would be burdened with? The sacrifices ye may have to make for her?" Kaede asked.
Moyuru didn't answer right away and there were a few moments of silence in between them. The only sounds to be heard were the sounds of Naomi's crying. After a moment Moyuru forced a reply, "May I ask for your help? At least until I'm sure I can do this on my own?" she asked, humbling herself and looking to the ground.
"I have already found an elderly couple who would take her in, but if ye feel the need to stay and protect her then by all means do so." Kaede answered, understanding Moyuru's want to defend the girl.
Moyuru nodded to her, thanking her.
"Naomi?" Moyuru asked. Naomi gave a muffled answer "Would you mind going with Lady Kaede for right now? I need some time to think, you understand don't you?" Moyuru asked, "You wouldn't mind would you Lady Kaede?" she asked the priestess, looking to her.
Kaede shook her head, "Nay, not at all. Ye do need time alone." she answered.
"Well?" Moyuru prompted, turning her attention back to Naomi, "Is it okay with you?"
Naomi pulled away after a moment, nodding.
"I'll be back, okay." Moyuru said.
Naomi only nodded again.
Moyuru exited the hut a few moments after Kaede, going out to walk. She looked to the ground as she did so, her thoughts wandering from one thing to the next before deciding to linger on Naomi. She was soon completely lost in thought, carrying on a pensive expression as she walked. She didn't even seem to notice the villagers staring at her, some with unfriendly glares.
The sky was beginning to cloud up and the faint roll of thunder could be heard in the distance. Moyuru looked skyward as a bolt of lightning streaked across the gray clouds. I thought it smelt like it would storm today. she thought. She turned her gaze back to the ground, now nearly in the center of the village. "I guess I could stay out a few more minutes before going back to the hut." she thought aloud.
A loud clap of thunder rang out, jolting her from that thought, "On second thought. . ." she mused, turning to walk back to Kaede's
"There she is!" came an angry voice. A rock flew, striking her in the side of her forehead. She let out a cry of surprise as she was thrown off balance and fell to the ground. She began to pick herself up, getting to her hands and knees. She put a hand to her head where the rock had struck before pulling it back, it was covered in blood. She looked around, discovering that she had been surrounded, but her attackers were just villagers!
"She's the hanyou that brought all this upon the village!" one of them stated.
Moyuru seemed a bit shocked, "I'm sorry!"she yelled in response. What was this? They were blaming her?
One of the villagers stepped forward, "Sorry isn't enough. It won't bring my brother back, nor will it bring back any of the others." he said.
Moyuru seemed to flinch, she knew the man's pain through the loss of her own brother, "I'm sorry." she said quietly.
"It's her fault! That youkai followed her here!" another villager said, pointing an accusing finger at her.
Moyuru was still on her hands and knees, beginning to pull herself up.
It had begun to rain and the drops grew bigger and fell harder as seconds passed. The village men had closed in on her.
She looked around at the men who surrounded her, their figures momentarily flashing to resemble kitsune youkai like the ones her father commanded. She shook her head, looking back to the ground, No, she thought, no these aren't kitsune youkai, they're humans. They're the villagers! she thought to herself.
"Kill the half breed and give her to the demon when he returns for her!" one of the villagers said, kicking her hard in the ribs.
She cried out in pain and fell the rest of the way into the mud that was beginning to form because of the rain. "I'm sorry!" she cried again.
"Silence!" one of the men said, roughly jerking her to her feet by her clothing. The rain had begun to fall in a down pour and she was becoming soaked. The rain water running down her face mingled with the blood that flowed from the cut in her forehead. Her bangs fell in front of her eyes as she kept her gaze focused on the ground.
"Why don't you fight back?" the man asked.
"I don't want of fight you or any of the others in the village, I don't wish to harm anyone." she answered quietly.
"Do you honestly believe that that will change the fact that you already have!" he asked angrily as the back of his hand made contact with her cheek. She didn't so much as give a whimper as her head jerked to the side.
Her silence only angered the man further. "Wench!" he yelled, throwing her to the ground. There was another loud clap of thunder as blows from the other villagers followed and she still did nothing to fight back. It was all her fault. . . she deserved it.
"Where is she? It's storming and she's not in here, she's gotta be crazy if she's out in it." Inuyasha stated.
"Maybe she left." Sango suggested.
"Huh uh, she wouldn't leave, she said she'd be back." Naomi argued.
Inuyasha sighed heavily, getting up and heading for the door, "I'll go get her." he grumbled, beginning out.
Sango stared at the door, blinking a few times. She hadn't expected this kind of reaction from him. He seemed to get so tense when Moyuru hadn't showed up for a while.
"I can see why Kagome would have thought the way she did, he's almost as protective of Moyuru as he is of her." Miroku commented.
"But what if Kagome's right and Inuyasha really is in love with Moyuru? Will he ever go back and get her?" Shippo asked.
"It's probably just a misunderstanding. Knowing Inuyasha, he will be angry at Kagome, but he'll more than likely get over it." Miroku answered casually.
Inuyasha began outside at a run, following Moyuru's scent. Damn it! Where could she have gotten to? he thought, a bit agitated at having to look for her out in the pouring rain. She had to have been an idiot to stay out here, anyone with a good nose coulda told ya it was going to storm!
He had gotten nearly to the middle of the village when he noticed a crowd of village men. They looked like they were surrounding something, some of them throwing rocks and others yelling insults.
Inuyasha's eyes widened as he caught the scent of Moyuru's blood. What the hell? he thought in agitation.
Moyuru was in the center of the mob, struggling to get to her feet having gotten beaten badly already. She hadn't done anything to defend herself so far.
"Stay down!" a villager yelled.
Moyuru let out a scream of pain as she was struck back into the mud with the handle of a farming tool.
"Finish her off!" someone urged, getting murmurs of agreement from the rest. Lightning flashed, lighting up the sky and illuminating the blade of a scythe poised above her, ready to kill.
Moyuru hadn't seemed to notice, she was beginning to get up again, getting to her hands and knees before the man began to bring the scythe down on her.
A strong hand gripped the handle, stopping it before its blade had had time to do any damage. Inuyasha now stood in front of the man, having jumped in the middle of the fray to stop the beating. He held the handle of the scythe in his own hand, roughly jerking it away from the angry villager. "You weren't planning on doing what I thought you were doing with this were you?" he asked threateningly, throwing it to the side and glaring at them all.
"Out of the way!" a villager demanded.
"Yeah, she's getting what she deserves for putting our village in such danger!" another agreed.
"You mean you're blaming her for what happened yesterday?" Inuyasha questioned. The idea was completely preposterous to him. It wasn't her fault that people had died. If anyone was to blame then it was that bastard Suzushi
"That demon followed her here!"
"Yeah, it's her fault, she should've left!"
"A life for a life! That demon wanted her! "
Villagers continued to pin the blame on her.
"Oh shaddup! It wasn't her fault! If I were you I would go back home and leave her alone before things really start to get ugly!" Inuyasha threatened.
"Come on, if the hanyou's smart she'll leave. Our job is done here." One of the men said. The rest of them dispersed, leaving Inuyasha to deal with the beaten kitsune hanyou.
Moyuru had sat up, pulling her knees to her chest and wrapping her arms around them. She had curled up as tight as she could, trembling in the rain. She had a few small cuts and plenty of bruises. Her back was turned to him and she didn't show any signs of moving from that spot.
"What's wrong with you! Why didn't you fight back?" Inuyasha asked, raising his voice to a yell.
Moyuru flinched at the scolding tone, still shaking.
Inuyasha paused a moment, What's going on? he questioned. He looked to her, thoroughly puzzled at having caught her scent now.
She smelled so heavily of fear that it nearly overpowered the scents of all the villagers who had just been surrounding her. Why? Why was she so scared? She had taken out a full youkai empowered with a jewel shard by herself yet the villagers had managed to do this to her?
He approached her, trying to be careful not to startle her, "C'mon, let's get out of the rain." he said, putting a hand on her shoulder.
She recoiled, tensing at the touch and looking to him. There was nothing but pure fear in her eyes, not even a inkling of recognition shone in them. It was as though she wasn't seeing or hearing anything that was actually going on, like something was playing in her head and it had scared her. She acted like she had been backed into a dark corner of her mind by some monster and was curled up there in that corner, trembling, scared.
I've never seen anyone so scared in my life. Inuyasha thought as he backed off a little, startled by her reaction. What to do? He had to get her back to the hut, whatever was wrong with her wasn't good. She needed to calm down, but how to do it?
He picked her up gently, trying to be mindful that she was bruised badly. She flinched again but she seemed to calm down once his scent had reached her through her clouded and foggy mind. She relaxed only a little bit into him, though she still shook.
He entered the hut carrying her, both of them were soaked.
"Inuyasha! What happened?" Shippo asked.
"Some of the villagers ganged up on her." Inuyasha replied.
"Moyuru chan!" Naomi exclaimed worriedly, "Will she be okay?" she asked as Inuyasha sat Moyuru next to Kaede.
Kaede instructed him to sit next to the fire so that his clothes may dry.
Inuyasha did so, sitting with his back turned to give Moyuru privacy while Kaede tended to her.
Shippo and Miroku did the same while Sango helped Kaede.
Moyuru had passed out on the way back and wasn't waking up. Even in her sleep her eyebrows furrowed and she whimpered from time to time.
Soon Kaede was done tending to her and she was sleeping on a futon near to the fire to keep her warm. Naomi had helped as much as she could by braiding the hanyou's hair, getting it out of the way and helping the rest of her to dry faster without something to get her wet all over again.
"The villagers did that?" Sango asked in surprise once everything had calmed down and they were all sitting around talking.
"And she didn't fight back?" Shippo rang in.
Inuyasha just shrugged, "I don't know what's wrong with her." he stated, "She looked like she was afraid, she still smells of fear." he said.
"It doesn't make sense. She took out that Suzushi guy all by herself and he had a jewel shard, the villagers should've hardly been a match for her." Shippo pointed out.
"What could have happened?" Sango asked. After seeing the way she had fought before she found it hard to believe that she could have lost it like that.
"Inuyasha, you said that she didn't even seem to recognize what was going on around her." Miroku stated
"Yeah," Inuyasha replied, "It was like she was seeing something else and not what was actually there." he said.
"Aye, I believe I have heard of this happening before." Kaede said.
"What is it Lady Kaede?" Sango asked, only wanting to confirm her guess.
"There are some who have witnessed or experienced something so damaging that it is as though they are reliving it when something similar happens or when something happens that reminds them of that event. It is as though they are taken back to that moment in time." she explained.
"A flashback." Miroku surmised.
"A flashback can do that?" Shippo asked, looking to him curiously now.
"Sometimes it can be crippling, depending on the person and what they've been through. Apparently the incident reminded Moyuru of something that happened to her before and she was reliving a truly horrifying moment of her past." he explained.
"That would explain why she didn't even defend herself." Sango mused aloud.
"Yeah, but what could she have been seeing that scared her so bad?" Inuyasha wondered.
"Who knows? We hardly know anything about her." Shippo stated.
"Unless she's told you anything, Inuyasha." Miroku said.
Everyone turned to Inuyasha for an answer, "What makes you think that she told me anything?" he asked.
"Because, you're a hanyou as well. She probably needed to get it off her chest and it would be more reasonable for her to tell you something than it would be to tell us anything." Miroku replied.
She had trusted Inuyasha better than she did the rest of them. She had told him a lot, but swore him to secrecy as well. "Well, she hasn't told me anything." he lied, "I wouldn't blame her for not trusting anyone."
Inuyasha suddenly gained an indignant expression, slapping at his neck as he felt a prick there. He pulled his hand away to see what exactly it was that had bit him and scowled upon noticing Myoga stuck to it. "Myoga? What are you doing here, I thought for sure you'd ran after that battle yesterday." Inuyasha stated.
"I didn't run. . . I only took a break." Myoga answered, with a nervous laugh, "But I came back after I found that Lady Moyuru may possibly be in even more danger." he added.
"Lady Moyuru? More danger?" Sango echoed.
"Yes, I spotted another demon headed this way. She looked a lot like the demon, Suzushi, who attacked yesterday." Myoga answered.
"It sounds as though Moyuru is being hunted." Miroku commented.
"Aye, and the way ye referred to her sounds as though ye know more of her than we do." Kaede agreed.
"Yeah, what's with calling her 'lady' all of a sudden?" Shippo asked. They were all now curious.
Inuyasha sent Myoga a glare, but it went unnoticed by the flea and Myoga began his explanation, "You see, you were right in your suspicions that she had told Lord Inuyasha something of her past."
Everyone turned to Inuyasha with accusing glances.
"Why didn't you tell us this earlier Inuyasha?" Miroku asked, looking to Inuyasha for an answer.
Inuyasha hesitated a moment, "She made me promise not to talk, so I didn't and I won't" he then stated firmly, sitting cross-legged on the floor with his hands shoved in his sleeves. "What were you doing out there anyway Myoga? Were you spying on me too?" Inuyasha asked moodily, snatching Myoga up off the floor and hodling the flea in front of him, waiting for an answer.
"I'm sorry Lord Inuyasha! I couldn't help but overhear! But I think the others deserve to know what they're up against! This isn't like anything you've ever faced before, she's being tracked down, hunted without remorse by more than one demon!" Myoga exclaimed frantically.
Inuyasha hesitantly sat Myoga down, "Fine then, but I didn't say a word, got it?" Inuyasha stated, crossing his arms again and looking agitated as he refused to look at the rest of them.
"So what do you know?" Sango prompted.
Myoga cleared his throat, taking a seat on the ground and beginning his explanation, "Moyuru is the daughter of Lord Tsukasa, lord of the southern lands. She was recently blamed for her older brother's death, though I'm almost certain that it was her father that committed the crime."
"Ah! You mean he killed his own flesh and blood?" Shippo exclaimed in disbelief.
"Daughter of a lord?" Miroku questioned.
"Her older brother became a threat to her father's power who in turn had him slain and used Moyuru as a scapegoat. Being a hanyou as she is made her the perfect cover up. He was confident that no one, human nor demon, would believe her word over his. Now that Tsukasa Sama has no heir it seems as though he has made it a contest between her own cousins to capture or kill her. He is ridding himself of any threats without drawing attention to himself." Myoga finished.
"No wonder she seems so troubled all the time." Miroku mused aloud.
"It must be so hard for her." Sango agreed, "It seems as though her father killed the only person close to her."
"And there's another demon on their way here?" Shippo asked.
"We should be prepared." Miroku stated, looking to Inuyasha, "What do you think Inuyasha?"
"We can take 'em, they won't attack in the rain anyway so we've got some time." Inuyasha answered casually.
Suzushi sat separately from the remainder of his soldiers, nursing his injuries alone. He looked up to the darkened sky with an irritated expression. It had stopped raining for the moment and the stars shone brightly through a break in the clouds. Another failed mission.
He hadn't expected Moyuru to be so skilled. Until then he had never fought her one on one, he always had his allies and she always had her big brother. Suzushi growled at the thought. He hated them both, Seiya and Moyuru. Seiya, always taking sides with that half breed, it disgusted him.
Damn that Seiya, he must've somehow found the time to teach her how to fight! Suzushi thought angrily, quietly growling. "Seiya, always standing up for her even when it cost him an eye, eventually even his life. He got what was coming to him." Suzushi muttered moodily.
There was a dark laugh from one side of the clearing, "You never did much like him did you?" A female voice taunted.
"Michiko," Suzushi grumbled under his breath, "just who I wanted to see." he added sarcastically.
"Come now Suzushi, is that any way to greet your favorite sister?" Michiko asked, stepping forth from the shadows and standing in front of him, her lips twisted in an amused smirk as she looked down on her humiliated brother.
She had hair much the like Suzushi's but longer. Her eyes were also a cerulean blue and her skin was very fair. She wore a kimono of a purple color accented in royal blue flowers that trailed down each sleeve and wrapped around the skirt, which was slit on one side to nearly her hip, she wore black, tightly fitting pants underneath. She also had a light set of armor on over her kimono and a katana was secured to her side by a white and purple sash tied about her waist.
"Did you come here merely to laugh at me?" Suzushi asked moodily.
"You know me all too well Suzushi, of course I did. Who wouldn't after three failures in a row? Especially three failed attempts on a pathetic hanyou's life." Michiko replied mockingly.
Suzushi shot her a glare, growling at her, "That low-life, Seiya, taught her how to fight! I wasn't expecting it, how was I to know he had wasted his time teaching that half-breed?" he ground out angrily.
"It seems as though you could have taken some lessons from that 'low-life'. After all, you were always jealous of his higher position in the army. Besides Suzushi, she carries weapons with her. You should know that only a fool carries weapons they don't know how to use. . ." she said, letting her sentence hang for a moment, ". . . perhaps someone should take your sword from you." she said, looking to the sky with a mischievous smile.
"Just what are you implying?" Suzushi demanded in a dangerous tone. Michiko laughed, "Don't tell me you're so much a fool that you can't figure it out on your own. Do you need Haha's help big brother?"
"Shut up Michiko!" Suzushi yelled, glaring at her now.
"Oh, temper." she commented, "Aggravated are we? Is it all because of me, or is it partially because Moyuru did such a number on you and your ballooned sense of pride?" she asked mockingly, getting closer to him.
He growled at her before getting up, "I don't have to take this from you." he muttered, beginning to walk away.
"Oh, but you'll be getting it from everyone else once I succeed where you've failed so miserably." she taunted, letting an amused laugh when Suzushi didn't acknowledge her comment. She knew he had heard her and his increasingly bad mood only proved that her words were getting to him.
He turned back to her after a moment, "If you weren't my own sister, I would slay you." he said coolly, turning to walk away again.
Michiko only smirked wider, "If you could." she said.
He whirled, but when he did, she wasn't there. It was as though she had vanished without a trace. He let out another aggravated snarl as he stormed off in the direction of the camp.
So, what do you think of Michiko? A real bitch isn't she? Anyway, I'm just here to give you a preview of my next chapter, as always.
PREVIEW!
