The Moon and Stars Chapter 2 Not Breathing

She also noticed that Shouhei wielded a Wakizashi in his hand, and he was coming right at her. Mizuki cart-wheeled out of the way, and restrained him from behind by twisting his arm behind his back, as he dropped the Wakizashi. "Listen to me, Naraku is a liar! He's lying, he has no good intentions for you!" Mizuki tried to reason, though she knew Shouhei's conscious was long gone. She then embraced him from behind in a hug. "I'm sorry Shouhei! I'm sorry I wasn't there for you! But I promise I love you more than anything and I'll be more of a motherly figure! And I won't leave you this time, I'll love you." She cried. What she said reached to Shouhei's conscious, or the little bit that he still had control over.

"Mother?" He said slowly. Mizuki started to look up. Though she was older than Shouhei, he was still taller. Only by a little bit, but you could tell. Then a sudden pain filled him and he fell on his knees to the ground, and obtained that empty look that he once had before. He pushed Mizuki away, picked up his Wakizashi, then ran in the other direction. He was quick, very quick, and it seemed to Mizuki he had the instincts of a demon. No matter how fast she was, she couldn't catch up.

"Come back," she started to jump to another tree, something grabbed her around her waist and pulled her back. She turned to see Sesshoumaru. "Sesshoumaru," she said agitated, "why did you do that!" She yelled. "It would not be wise to follow him. He'll be fine." Mizuki pulled away. "He won't be fine under Naraku's trance!" Then she jumped down and headed into the direction in which she saw him, sniffing the air, strongly smelling his scent the air.

"Wait up Mizuki," Ami cried after her. "Can't forget us can you?" She winked optimistically, while petting Osamu. "I'm sorry." She looked down. "Climb on my back, I'm faster," Osamu said to both of them, lowering himself. Mizuki got on first, then Ami got on behind her. "Hold on to me Ami," Mizuki demanded. "Right, I got it!" Ami tightened her grip around Mizuki's waist. Again, Osamu readied his forelegs then was off high in the sky. "I see him!" Osamu said after about ten minutes. They all also heard screaming. "What has Naraku done to him? Damn that bastard to hell!" Mizuki yelled angrily.

Osamu lowered them into a secure place only yards away from the village. Mizuki started to run after Shouhei, when Kouga jumped in front of her. "So what mutt face said was true, you are a demon now," he smirked. "Still infatuated by Kagome, Kouga?" Mizuki glared. "No, I knew it was pointless years ago, so I'm single and free and happy." Then he looked over and noticed Ami. "Why hello there, and what's your name," he asked, in a dazed way. "Great," Mizuki cursed under her breath. "Ami, and I'm assuming you're Kouga." She said, folding her arms behind her back, then she smiled broadly.

"Hey, ya gotta get out of our way," she said in a positive, but yet forceful way, "we have to go and catch that chump over there!" She then pointed to Shouhei, who was just about to strike down a helpless lady and her child. Mizuki could tell he was struggling not to attack. "Stop!" She screamed, She jumped over Kouga and ran at Shouhei. She tackled him to the ground, and punched him in the face. "Stop this Shouhei! Now!" She really didn't want to have to fight her son.

Instead of fighting him, she used her mind to control him, she made him turn and face her with his back against a tree. Then Mizuki started making signs with her hands, and he was sealed to the tree. He still have the lifeless expression on his face. "Naraku, you bastard!" Mizuki shrieked. "Are you all okay?" She asked. The woman nodded. "But he's killed my husband," then she started to cry. Mizuki's face turned grim. "I'm so very sorry," she then helped out everyone in the village. Kouga and Ami got better acquainted to each other.

"Ami," he said, holding her hand, "I'm going to make you my woman." Ami just stared nervously. "Uh, um," she started, but Inuyasha and the others had come. "Still playing your games, huh ya mangy wolf!" Inuyasha barked, kicking at Kouga, who dodged his attack. "Take it easy dog breath!" Kouga laughed. "All these years, and you two still haven't grown up." Mizuki sighed, glaring at them both. "Mizuki, come quick, Naraku is here! Shouhei, he's in danger!" Mizuki heard Shippou yell. She stopped doing everything she was doing and ran as fast as she could.

Shouhei was back to normal and crying violently at what he had done to those people. "And I lied. They were telling you the truth, you fool," Naraku said menacingly, "I kept my end of the bargain though. Shame I had to say it all over again for you. Pathetic." Mizuki was about to strike Naraku, when Naraku had slit open Shouhei's throat. Mizuki stopped dead in her tracks. "SHOUHEI!" Tears of blood started to stream down her face as she ran to him. Her fragile figure leaned over his and she cried heavily. "I knew something like this would happen," came Sesshoumaru's voice from behind.

I'm sorry that this one is so short. But I promise to make Chapter 3 a bit longer, if I can. I can't gurantee.
