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.
