Chapter 5: The brothers work together.
Manami's POV.
After a feed and a good night's sleep I awoke feeling better than when I went to sleep I looked around to see Master Jaken, Kohaku and Rin still fast asleep, I smiled as I got up and looked to the entrance to see Lord Sesshomaru not far off of the entrance outside the cave. I walked out and over to him I looked up at him noticing his features more his amber eyes glanced down at me "What did he do to you?" Lord Sesshomaru asked "You mean Naraku?" I asked he gave a look. I looked over the lush forest "He didn't do anything he just left me in a cell hanging like a rag doll" I replied "Stay with me Mana, I will not let anyone hurt you" Lord Sesshomaru said I smiled slightly remembering Kazuya and the guys and their promise. I looked up at him as the wind blow past me making his hair flow with it and some fluff that hung off his shoulder and down his back I smiled even more and giggled "It's so fluffy" I muttered just then my head pounded "Fluffy?" I said softly. I wonder why that word is familiar to me suddenly "Mana?" Lord Sesshomaru said "Hmm?" I puffed as I looked up at him he gave a concerned look "I just thought there was something familiar about that word" I said no shook off the thoughts. "Morning Lord Sesshomaru and Manami!" Rin exclaimed I looked back to see her running over to us Kohaku was up while Master Jaken groaned as he just got up I smiled as Rin came over and held my hand Lord Sesshomaru started walking all of a sudden. "Master Jaken, Kohaku we're leaving!" Rin called out as took off pulling me along "Come on Manami!" Rin exclaimed with a bright smile which made me smile I ran with her as we caught up to Lord Sesshomaru.
No one's POV, with Kagome's gang and Koga's gang.
Inuyasha hardly slept through the night waking up constantly, he was the first up and had already got food and was just starting a fire up which woke up the wolf demons they all looked at him with suspicion. Inuyasha looked to them "Finally you can cook the food I'm going to scout around for Manani" Inuyasha said Koga leapt up and raced over to him grabbing him before he could run off and slammed him up against a tree. "What the hall has gotten into you mutt to make you care so much for Manami?" Koga growled "It's none of your business wolf!" Inuyasha snapped flinging Koga's hands off him making the rest of the members who were sleeping, wake up. "Inuyasha do you have to fight?" Kagome asked in a bitter tone "Koga's right Inuyasha you know something about Manami so fess up" Raiden snapped Inuyasha looked at everyone seeing their questioning eyes he turned away. "It's not anyone's business so all of you can butt out" Inuyasha puffed then leapt up in to a tree and sat on a branch Kagome stood up and went by the tree "Inuyasha?" Kagome said "Leave me alone Kagome" Inuyasha said harshly. "Inuyasha please if you know Manami that's a good thing, we could…" Kagome started to say "What don't you get about leaving me alone?" Inuyasha snapped then jumped down from the tree. "I'll find her myself you can follow Koga from now on" Inuyasha said with his back to them then ran off "Inuyasha!" Kagome called out but he didn't stop Kagome's eyes stayed glued to where she last saw him the silver haired hanyo that had stolen her heart.
Ginta's view:
A lot of good he is, I just hope we find Manami before he does and if he dare lays a hand on her I'll… "Ginta?" Hakkaku said as he placed his hand on my shoulder "What?" I snapped as I looked at him with a frown "You were growling… Protectively" Hakkaku said with a concerned look. I looked away "I can't help it, if Inuyasha does know Manami, what relationship did they have?" I said then sighed heavily as I hung my head closing my eyes as I rubbed the back of my neck. "Don't worry Ginta I'm sure Manami won't choose him no matter what their relationship" Raiden said "I hope your right" I muttered under my breath "We'll just have to see it does seem slightly similar to how he acts with Kikyo" Miroku said. "Do you think maybe they had a relationship before Kikyo?" Sango said "They must have more likely when they were kids though seeing as Manami was in the future era when she was a child" Miroku said. "We should have breakfast then leave to find Manami" Kagome said with hint of sadness in her voice she sounded how I felt, we sat around the fire and waited for the boar to cook, after we cleaned up camp we left in search for Manami. We walked for a couple hours with no scent of Inuyasha, Naraku or Manami, I'd never felt this depressed in my life she has to be my mate nothing's ever made me so happy as when I was with her, please be ok Manami we're… I'm coming for you.
No-ones POV with Manami, Kohaku, Rin, A-Un, Jaken and Lord Sesshomaru.
The group had started walking together, naturally Lord Sesshomaru stayed silent listening to everyone but keeping his focus to where he wanted to go which was back to the first spot he met Manami in hopes of her getting her memories back. Rin was as chirpy as ever and more so to have another female in the group despite her background of being half wolf demon, Master Jaken had a frown on his face as he walked behind them he couldn't see why Lord Sesshomaru changed his ways. First he saved a human girl then let her follow him, spared Kohaku's life, let him and a half breed wolf demon followed him, he was curious about what the half breed meant to his Lord, Kohaku led A-Un behind them he was in his own thoughts about the shard that kept him alive. He knew Naraku would come after him and that the jewel had to be put together again he sighed as thought after thought of the shard, Naraku and his sister had gone through his mind but pretty soon all focus but Lord Sesshomaru's were drawn to Rin. She raced around everyone singing a song about their little group Manami giggled "That's beautiful singing Rin" Manami said with a bright smile "Heh that loud mouth child is going to bring demons and bandits towards us and my Lord does not need to bothered by such pests" Master Jaken said. Lord Sesshomaru stopped and turned his head slightly sending an icy glare to Master Jaken, he dropped to the ground and bowed "Sorry my Lord, I beg your forgiveness!" Master Jaken exclaimed slightly trembling. Though Lord Sesshomaru did not receive do anything and continued walking, Manami helped Master Jaken up "Lord Sesshomaru is being kind to us as he has to you so let's be friends ok?" Manami said. Master Jaken looked at her in awe giving a nod as slight tears appeared "Are you crying Master Jaken?" Rin asked "Don't be absurd Rin I have something in my eye" Master Jaken said Manami giggled seeing him lighten up a little.
Inuyasha's view.
I kept running and keeping my senses up looking for any trace of Manami, a scent, sight, sound anything to tell me that she is ok, I frowned as I stopped panting slightly as I looked around I paced around thinking if I was to find Manami I had to be smart about this. If I was Naraku where would I hide myself? In the mountain? A deserted field? Isolated island? I growled "Damn it…" I snapped I'll be looking forever to find him but maybe what if she's not with Naraku? If she got away, then she's safe. If she got away she'd be at the place we last were or her home I don't think she'd go to the village or the tribe, if I try her home first maybe I'll find her there, it's the only chance I have of finding either way if Naraku's scent picks up I'll get him. I ran off to her home it would take me a few hours to get there that's if I ran without interruption, once I got there the sun was high in the sky it was past mid-day by the looks of its position, I was in a lush forest at the bottom of a steep mountain. There was a hut there it was the start of her massive home, the hut was in a way joint to the mountain, inside the mountain it was like a palace it would start off like wolf den but after you point to a flat cut off rock wall at the back of their cave.
You had to push the right rocks in a sequence to get through it was Manami's father who made it, if you pressed the wrong one you'd be greeted by whatever trap her father set up, I went over to the hut in a hurry "Manami?!" I called out. I raced through the hut seeing no one and smelling nothing but old scents very old scents I went to the back and grabbed hold of one of the floor boards pulling it up making the wall go up and the entrance to their cave open. "Manami?! It's me Inuyasha!" I shouted as I ran through the start of their den but she wasn't there and neither were any fresh scents and I could go into the palace because I didn't know the code it was their family secret. "I'm going to have to go to the place where I last saw her that's one of the only places' she could be unless she's stupid enough to go to the village or the tribe" I muttered out loud I have to take the chance I ran out close the passage behind me. I then ran out of the house to the other place which would take me another few hours to reach and by that time it would tomorrow morning, please be ok Manami I am coming for you just don't do anything stupid.
Kagome's view.
We had started walking again from having a break for lunch it was longer than expected I was still in thought of what Inuyasha had to do with Manami and why it would make him just leave "Kagome?" Sango's voice rung out pulling me out of my thoughts. I stopped seeing no one around me I looked back to see everyone looking at me in awe and with pity "Lady Kagome I think we should rest you are not yourself" Miroku said I frowned as I turned away from them. "I'm fine we need to find Manami so let's keep going" I said "Kagome we were thinking maybe we should follow Inuyasha he seems to know something about her" Kazuya said "And what about Naraku? He is the one that has her, we should be looking for him" I said. "Kagome let's talk things through before we make any more decisions there's no scent of Naraku, Manami or Inuyasha at the moment" Miroku said I sighed softly "Ok" I said I guess I should be used to this. First Inuyasha chases after Kikyo and now this Manami, Kazuya's possible sister, I turned around as everyone sat down making themselves comfortable I sat beside Sango "It'll be ok Kagome" Sango said. "Huh?" I puffed as I looked at her in awe "I'm sure we'll see Inuyasha again soon" Sango said with a reassuring smile "Uh yeah" I said in agreement faking a smile then looked away in thought I wonder what's so special about her? Manami.
Lord Sesshomaru's view.
I kept walking and was only a couple hours away from where I first met Manami, I wanted to bring her there in hopes of returning her memories of myself and of her past, she's important more then she knows but in time she will and I wish to be there to witness her greatness. My father asked me once if I had someone to protect then I didn't but in time I have acquired followers and allies, Jaken followed me grovelling at my feet wanting to serve me since I saved his life. Rin showed me kindness and no fear when she met me, she reminded me a lot of Manami then there was Manami, who I meet long before Jaken but after my father's death when Inuyasha was still a pup himself. Manami was a pup herself, she was around his age perhaps a little younger even though she was younger then both of us she was smarter then us both, she showed no fear she stopped me from killing Inuyasha. Manami told and showed us so many things and in return we showed her our talents and some skills but in time I became blind to her teachings as Inuyasha did though I shall not forget again my father's words will not overrule her words I shall remember you always Manami. I glanced back seeing her carrying Rin since she was tired "We will stop here tonight, rest we will continue walking in the morning" I said "Ok thank you Lord Sesshomaru" Manami said "You don't have to use formality with me Mana" I said. Manami's cheeks became rosy as she gave a nod "Ok thank you Sesshomaru" Manami said with a smile "Huh? What b-b-but…" Jaken started "Jaken rest" I said "Uh yes Lord Sesshomaru" Jaken said, I watched over them all as they slept.
Night passes, it is now morning.
Manami's view.
I felt someone shaking me "Manami wake up! Wake up Manami!" Rin's voice rung out I yawned as I stretched out then sat up rubbing my eyes "Alright, I'm up" I said sleepily she giggled as she ran over to Jaken waking him up I smiled seeing Master Jaken throw a fit about being woken up. "We must continue now" Lord Sesshomaru said I stood up I looked to Kohaku, Rin and Master Jaken, Master Jaken was scolding Rin when Kohaku cut him off "Hey guys we're leaving now hurry up before our Sesshomaru leaves us all behind" I said a loud. "Coming Lord Sesshomaru!" Rin exclaimed chasing after him "I'm coming my Lord! Please don't leave me behind!" Master Jaken exclaimed as he ran after him I giggled as Kohaku walked with me while leading A-Un. I looked at Kohaku he seemed trouble by something these last few days "Hey Kohaku you don't have to tell me but I'm curious as to why you seem so down" I said he looked at me briefly before his eyes darted to the ground. His brown orbs filling with tears my brows knitted together "I'm sorry if I made you upset I promise I won't ask again" I said "No it's ok, it won't matter soon anyways…" Kohaku said I looked at him in awe and confusion. "I was with my father, sister and a few comrades, we were sent to kill a demon for a lord but it turned out to be Naraku faking the whole thing, luring us in" Kohaku said my eyes widened in awe I couldn't help but feel tears build up. "He somehow got control of me and made me kill all of them but my sister, I only wounded her, he killed me but resurrected me with a shard so I can serve him" Kohaku said "Kohaku…" I said softly I stopped him and hugged him "I'm so sorry but we'll stop him we have to he's hurt so many" I said.
"Sesshomaru!" a man's voice bellowed out I let go of Kohaku and looked over to see a man with silver hair and amber eyes like Sesshomaru but had fuzzy dog ears on his head and has on a fully red haori and had a katana tied to his waist, he seemed familiar to me too. He looked at me then back at Sesshomaru "Hand her over Sesshomaru!" he exclaimed "I am protecting Manami Inuyasha, she has forgotten" Sesshomaru said the man 'Inuyasha' looked at him in awe then me. "Manami? Do you remember me?" Inuyasha asked I shook my head "I'm sorry you and Sesshomaru seem very familiar to me but I don't remember either of you" I replied his brows knitted together as a sad expression crossed his face. "I am going to the place we all met and hopefully that will help her remember if not then her home may help" Sesshomaru said the place we met? My home? "Well I'm coming with you, she helped us both now it's our turn to help her" Inuyasha said I looked back and forth at the two in utter confusion. I looked over the others, Master Jaken who was in utter shock, Rin seemed a little cautious, Kohaku didn't seem to mind but seemed a little scared for some reason Sesshomaru and Inuyasha had got to talking about what they could do to get me to remember. I frowned and went over to them standing in between them "Excuse me I'm right here!" I exclaimed waving my hands in front of them "Look I want answers and I want them now, how do I know you two? Why can't I remember?" I questioned feeling myself growl slightly. "We can't explain, we promised someone you had to remember on your own" Inuyasha replied "Though we have kept our promise and will keep our promise in protecting you" Sesshomaru said. "Why can't you tell me?" I asked "We swore an oath and it will not be broken" Sesshomaru says I looked at him in awe "Fine then let's go to this place we met then because I'm sick of being confused" I said. Sesshomaru smiled and Inuyasha grinned "What?" I questioned "Nothing…" they both said and walked off in the same direction I growled softly as I frowned I looked back to the others "Come on let's go" I said waving them to follow.
