Chapter IV
(New Discoveries)
"Lord Sesshomaru, where are you?" Flo was tossing
and turning back and forth. She could see the monster's red
eyes, clutching the child to her chest trying to shield her from
what she knew was coming. The orb was heading straight
for them. Flo shot up from where she was laying screaming.
Sesshomaru tried to push her back down, but she screamed
louder and tried to fight him off. Rin ran in about that time,
"Is she awake?" Sesshomaru glared at Rin "Out," he
hollered. Rin ran out of the hut. Sesshomaru turned back to
the girl still struggling against his grip, " How can this mer
mortal be this strong," he thought to himself. He pinned her
down to the pallet with his whole body. "Wake up," he said
through gritted teeth. She ceased her struggling and slowly
opened her eyes. Sesshomaru stared into the deepest blue
eyes he had ever seen. "You squishing me." she managed
to get out before she slipped back into unconsciousness. He
slipped off of her and sat beside her, studying her. Just then
Rin poked her head in, "Lord Sesshomaru?" "What Rin?" he
said impatiently. "Is she alright?" she asked. "This one is
strong, she will survive." Rin walked back out. Jaken looked
at her, "Did he tell you the stupid human was a goner." Rin
pounced on him, "You will never learn will you?" She busted
his nose as she added, "And for your info she will live." As
Rin walked away, Jaken slowly go to his feet, "Not another,
not another," he bellowed.
Inuyasha smelled the air, "I think I got her scent."
Kagome and Shippo ran up beside him, "Are you sure?"
they said together. "No I'm not, but..." he paused with a
growl. "What is it?" Miroku asked. Inuyasha inhaled deeply,
"Sesshomaru." Sango stepped forward, "Are you sure?" He
turned to glare at her, "Look I know his scent ok." "No need
to bite my head off," she fired back. "Inuyasha you think he's
got the girl?" Kagome asked. He followed her scent, "Her
scent ends here, where his begins. So my guess is yes."
Miroku looked at him, "We need to find her." "Naw you
think." he said sarcastically. "No need to be sarcastic," said
Kagome, "We need to go." "Who died and made you
leader?" shot Inuyasha. "The person who reincarnated
Kagome in me." Inuyasha growled, but followed her order.
Sniffing out his brother, hopping the girl was still alive.
Flo opened her eyes, but everything was blurry. She
closed her eyes and opened them again. Her gaze
registered on a green toad-like creature. With a scream, she
knocked the creature out of the hut. She jumped to her feet
only to find out that the blanket was the only thing covering
her body. She snatched the blanket up and wrapped it
around her body. Suddenly she had the strangest feeling
she was being watch. She quickly scanned the small hut,
but could only see darkness. "I have to get out of here," she
thought to herself. She looked around once more and slowly
made her way to the hut door. She was almost at the door,
when someone snuck up behind her and grabbed her
around the waist. She was about to scream, when the
strangers hand snaked around and covered her mouth. "You
should be resting." said a deep voice from behind. She
struggled against his strong hold and sunk her teeth into his
hand. With a grunt he released her mouth, but his other arm
stayed firmly wrapped around her waist. "Let me go," she
screamed, "or else." He turned her toward him, "I have very
little patients when it comes to humans, so don't threaten
me." She brought her knee up hard and connected with his
groins. He doubled over and she ran out of the hut, clutching
the blanket to her body. She had no idea where she was
going, but she knew she had to get away. She just made it
to the forest, when her abductor tackled her down to the
forest floor. He rolled her over, "I should snap your neck for
this." "If you wanted me dead you would have left me there,"
she pointed out. "I owed you for saving Rin," he said, "But, I
don't no more." "Then do it." she challenged. Inside she was
shaking with fear, but on the outside she stood strong. He
jerked her to her feet and studied her. "You may seem tough
on the outside, but on the inside you are scared," he said as
if he could read her mind. "But, what makes you strong is
your anger." Without another word he dragged her back to
the hut. Passing a confused Rin on the way. Inside the hut
he threw her clothes at her.(I failed to write earlier that she
kept a pair of clothes in a bag with her to change into
before she got home. It consists of a T-shirt and Jeans.)
She looked at him, "You can leave." He glared at her, "It's
not like I haven't seen you before." Her face boiled with
anger. "Big difference," she hollered, "I'm awake now, not
unconscious." "Lord Sesshomaru," Rin called from outside.
He grunted with aggravation and stormed out. As he left, Flo
quickly changed into her clothes. She looked around and
saw that the hut was made of blankets. She went to the
back of the hut and lifted up the blanket. Peeking out she
saw no signs of no one. She could raise the blanket enough
for her to fit through. With the close clean, she slipped into
the forest once more.
Inuyasha sniffed the air, "This way." Miroku looked
around, he had an uneasy feeling. Which he has been
having since they heard about Kyren. "Wait," said Inuyasha,
"something's coming." Sango looked around, "What
direction?" Just then Flo busted through the forest and
collided with Kagome. Inuyasha growled and leaped at the
intruder. As Inuyasha advanced at Flo, she did a high kick
and knocked him to the ground. Kagome looked at the girl,
"Your her." She said as Flo helped her up. Flo looked
around confused, "Who?" Inuyasha jumped to his feet, "Let
me at her." Miroku restrained him, "No Inuyasha." "It the
girl," added Shippo. "Will somebody please tell me what's
going on?" asked Flo. Kagome told her the whole story and
she listened very closely. She ended with, "So you see I
really need your help." "Let me get this straight," she said,
"Your the reincarnation of Kikyo and I'm the reincarnation of
Kyren." "Correct," said Kagome, "I need your help to find the
shards of the Shikon Jewel." Flo pulled the shard she had
hidden under her shirt. "You mean one of these?" Inuyasha
came forward, "Hey, where did you find that?" "A gift from
my grandmother," she informed him. "Well you should hand
it over to us and go home," he told her, "even though Myoga
brought you here under false pretense, we don't need you."
Kagome gasped, "Inuyasha, your wrong. You may not need
her, but I do. I can't keep doing this. With two of us our
powers together are stronger." Sango looked at Flo, "You'll
have to forgive Inuyasha he has a pea for a brain." Flo
laughed, "I can see that." "Kagome is the only one who can
control him sometimes." she informed her. "He looks like he
needs a woman's firm hand on him." she said. Sango
laughed, "I'm Sango by the way." "Flo," she said as she
shook her hand. Miroku, Shippo, and Kirara came up behind
them, "And this little guy here is Shippo, he's holding Kirara,
and Oh that's just Miroku." She shook Shippo's hand and
petted Kirara. Miroku grasped her hand, "Very beautiful,
young woman. You know I'm cursed." "Oh really," Flo said
trying to pull her hand away. Sango rolled her eyes as
Miroku to Flo about his hand. A little tang of jealously filled
her heart. "So will you do me the honors of something?" he
asked. She studied him a minute, "Maybe." "Would you do
me the honor of bearing my child." Flo smiled, "And will you
do me the honor of letting go of my hand, before yours off."
Sango march up and punched him, "You perverted, self-
centered, jerk." "Turned down by another, huh Miroku." said
Shippo. Flo laughed again, "He must get hit a lot." "Indeed
he does," said Sango. Kagome and Inuyasha joined them,
"So are you gonna help us or ain't you?" he asked. "Count
me in." she said, "Just tell me how I can help." "Well if since
you are the reincarnation of Kyren, your also a Miko." said
Miroku. "What's a Miko?" she asked. "It's like a priestess,"
informed Inuyasha, "you have special abilities or powers if
you like" Flo thought a minuet, "You mean like speed,
strength, and healing powers." Kagome looked at her, "You
have experienced these?" Flo nodded, "I could run faster
when I ran to save that girl from that beast. Then when I got
hit four times in the back by his orbs, I healed. Then when I
saw a green toad-like creat..." "Green toad-like creature,"
interrupted Inuyasha, "Do the names Jaken, Rin, or
Sesshomaru ring a bell." "Yes," she nodded, "Rin was the
name of the little girl I save and Sesshomaru is the name of
the creep who abducted me. I remember his name cause
the girl kept on shouting his name." She studied him, "You
sort of look like him. Same eyes, same hair." Inuyasha
growled, "He's my half brother." "What are you any ways?"
she asked. "I'm half dog demon half human." he said. "So
he's close by," he finished with a growl. "I don't know if he's
still there, but I do know he is freakishly strong." she
informed him. Inuyasha snorted at this, "Yeah for a guy with
one arm." Flo looked confused, "Are we talking about the
same guy. This guy had two arms and before try to argue
with me. I know because when I tried to escape the first time
he grabbed me around the waist with one arm and covered
my mouth with the other." Inuyasha sat down, "How can that
be?" Flo looked around, "What do we do know?" Miroku
answered, "First we go to Kaede." Inuyasha got up, "Let's
go." But he still pondered over what Flo had told him.
"My lord, I don't see why you can't let her go?" asked
Jaken, "I mean with all due respect." Sesshomaru turned to
him, "Are you questioning me, Jaken?" He jumped, "No my
lord it's just..." Just watch Rin and don't question me again."
he said. He walked away, but truth be told he did not have
and answer why he was going after her. He still didn't know
where he knew her from and he couldn't get her off his mind.
But, he didn't like it one bit. He came to a clearing and came
across his brother's scent. "So she's met up with that half
blood brother of mine," he said. He should just let her go,
but he found himself following the scent of the girl. All he
knew was he had to find out how he knew her and how that
was connected to him.
