Takai examined this half-demon Inuyasha as she followed him. He was a dog demon no doubt, but half demon or not, she could see he was powerful
Forcing herself to another topic, she again thought of Hiten; how would he look? How much had he changed? Questions both of relevance and irrelevance flooded her mind, causing her to grow more excited by the second; not to mention nervous. Then, the most relevant question finally occurred to her: Will Hiten remember me?
----------------------------------Once the Bird; Is an Eagle-----------------------------------
Many years since gone by, since the day
I haven't seen you, I haven't heard you,
Felt your touch that saved me, long before
These years I've kept you off my mind, and the names you called me
But for some reason I wanted you back
Because it hurts like Hell to forget
It seems as though I've found you again
Once again….never again
-------------------------Once the Bird; Is an Eagle--------------------------
They arrived at a rocky plain, it was a lot more trouble for Takai to keep hidden. Deciding to hide her scent from the air, she burrowed underground. Being a demon with the power over earth, she was able to burrow swiftly; smelling out the half-demon's scent to follow. She felt the vibrations of their movements, turned and again dug furiously after them.
She stopped and surfaced; following now in the shadows, she was able to move a lot quicker. Soon, they stopped; she could hear the fox demon and the dog arguing loudly. When they were at each other's necks, there was a sudden light and then the rock exploded that they were on top of.
Takai looked up, and saw the falling rocks, her eyes widened. "Uh-" she said before she felt herself pinned under a rock. "-crap."
Burrowing under the ground then resurfacing, she saw that there was a confrontation. Watching, she heard a bunch of stuff about jewel shards, and something about lovers, but she wasn't really paying attention.
She was watching Hiten; the Hiten she remembered so well…had grown up.
Not able to take her eyes off, she realized her face was becoming hot. She spun back around the rock, covering her cheeks with her hands. She never loved Hiten, she told herself several times. To remind her, that she was here to see her friend, not her crush.
She heard more fighting, and then she sighed thinking.
'He probably wont even remember me, and he probably has someone he loves anyway.'
"A girl you don't care about isn't worth turning your back on a battle Inuyasha" She heard Hiten saying.
Takai suddenly felt her heart flip, could it be? Hiten had nobody that he loved right now? Then she sighed again; maybe he just didn't have any feelings at all. He didn't care about her then? Did he remember?
--------------------------------Once a bird; Is an Eagle-----------------------------------
Do you remember the memories we had
Do you remember our fields, our hills
Green and lively as we ran through them
Running, always running
Do you even remember me?
When the birds are gone into the south
The eagle is the bravest, the strongest
The eagle stays strong, it doesn't want to leave
Does that mean you really didn't leave me?
You just had to grow, to show what you were
You're no longer a bird
Never again
And I have bloomed into the magnificent rose
---------------------------------Once a bird; Is an Eagle-------------------------------
The fight was getting, ugly. Takai felt her heart ache so much for her friend, as she saw him clinging to his dead brother, tears flowing down his face. She had never seen Hiten cry ever. Now he cried as if the world would end.
Then he fused his brothers shards with himself, and the battle was on worse than before. Hiten wanted a fight to the death, and nothing would stop him. Takai knew something from looking in the half-demons eyes though.
Inuyasha wasn't going to loose.Inuyasha was angry, but calm. Hiten was not, he was infuriated and he had a vengeance in him that Takai could see would be the death of him if this fight didn't stop. She took a deep breath, and then bolted out. Running, eyes closed, teary and fearful.
Hiten may not remember me, he may not even want to see me. But I'm the only one here that can stop this—
Hiten looked up, his eyes widened.
"T-Takai?"
