Chapter 6: Manami's memories
Naraku's view.
I was sitting in my usual spot listen to Yoshio rant and rave furiously as he stormed around the castle destroying things I frowned "Yoshio!" I called out "What the hell do you want?!" Yoshio exclaimed as he came barging in I looked at him. "You are not helping either of us, you must remain calm so we can think of how we are to get Manami back" I said "You're the one who insisted we keep her chained when you should have just let me kill her!" Yoshio yelled. I stood up facing him "Remember who your speaking to Yoshio, I can always let you go back to where you were do you want that?" I said as I gave a questioning look "Fine but you keep your promise, I get to kill her" Yoshio said "I promised didn't I?" I questioned. "You may have promised but you seem to be pretty good at deceiving people" Yoshio said I smiled "I'll take that as a compliment now go talk to Kanna and see what those misfits are up too" I said Yoshio glared at me then stormed off. Soon Manami will be back here in my hands she will make a powerful asset, a great weapon once I restore her memoires of her fighting and tactical skills as I held up a fragment of the Shikon no Tama "You will be mine, Manami… All mine" I said as a smirk formed on my face.
Kazuya's view.
We were still sitting around talking for so long and still got nowhere by doing that "This is stupid we are not gaining any ground by sitting around talking" I snapped as I stood up "I agree" Ginta said Hakkaku puffed a sigh "We should at least gather some more supplies" Miroku said. "You mean get Kagome to go home and get some more of the food her era has to offer" Sango said "Well for a mission we have no idea how long it will take to get to Naraku so we can rescue Manami…" Miroku started. "We can eat whatever animal we find" Ginta snapped "That or you can go to a village if there's one nearby when while we travel" Sango said "Agreed let's go we're wasting day light" I said "Kagome?" Koga questioned I looked over to her she seemed very out of it she gave Koga a forced smile. "I'm ok, let's go as Kazuya and Ginta have been saying rescuing Manami should come first" Kagome said as she grabbed her things, we started walking and kept walking for hours on end and still nothing I looked over to Ginta who looked so depressed. "It's ok Ginta we'll get her back" I said he looked at me as a frown crossed his face "And what if he's done something to her? How am I supposed to take that?" Ginta said "I-Uh…" I started to say but my mind was blank Ginta was right, what if Naraku has done something to her.
Inuyasha's view.
It was good to see Manami again a little disappointed that she doesn't remember yet but Sesshomaru was definitely right taking her back to the spot we met or her home would hopefully bring back her memories. I hope she takes it well then again I wonder where her parents went I haven't heard from either off them before I was pinned to the tree for fifty years I looked at Sesshomaru who walked slightly in front of me on my left side. Manami, Kohaku and Sesshomaru's followers were trailing behind us but not too far behind "Sesshomaru have you heard from them since we last met up with them?" I asked he took a glance at me then looked a head. "You mean her parents, no I haven't not since we last saw them before that incident happened" Sesshomaru said I puffed a sigh "I hope they're ok for her sake" I said he looked at me "You've grown soft" he said. I smiled "Look who's talking and I believe your more talkative now then you were" I said he smiled slightly "Having Manami back is something to be happy about you know how important she is and she brings truth to our fathers' words and his intentions" Sesshomaru says. I gave a slight nod I didn't know him but by the way everyone talks about him I should at least try and get to know something about him or pay him more respect, I started talking with Sesshomaru about our father.
Manami's view.
We had been walking for a while now a couple hours at least, Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were getting along fine, Jaken was telling me their whole relationship and was ranting about how weird it was, Rin didn't mind she was on the back of A-Un playing with his mane and doing it up. Kohaku was holding A-Un's reigns walking beside him on his right side I was walking beside Jaken on his right side a little further in front of the others and not trailing so close after Sesshomaru and Inuyasha. I think they should have some time alone and some sort of privacy even though they look like good friends even hearing their bad times, it's nice to see brothers get along even if they're only half-brothers. I felt some of the fur on my tail being twirled around and played with I looked back to see Rin with a bright smile on her face trying to do up my tail and walk at the same time "Rin once we get to where we are going you can do my hair up as well if you'd like something to do" I said. She smiled even more as she looked up to me "Thank you Manami!" Rin exclaimed and ran off to Sesshomaru "We're here" Inuyasha said aloud "Huh?" I puffed as I looked around the forest and frowned. Inuyasha grabbed my hand and led me out of the forest there was a river the water so crystal blue that it shimmered as the light hit it, my head pounding I felt some sort of pulse just jolt through my whole body but I was frozen stiff. I felt funny laughter rung out through my head 'We'll be friends forever!' my voice exclaimed through my head "What's happening?" I questioned in awe, I suddenly felt light headed everything became blurry and then nothing.
Flashback. (Manami – 5 in human years)
I could feel the heat from the sun and birds singing a sweet tune as the flew by, I could hear the sound of a river flowing nearby and felt the soft grass beneath my skin, I felt at peace and so happy, I let out a sigh "Ah!" a boy's scream rung out. I jolted up from my spot hearing the boy's cry, my ears twitched as a frown crossed my face and my tail flickered, I sniffed the air and caught the scent of a half-dog demon and a fully-fledged dog demon, both male. I ran to where the scent was to see a young man that is a fully-fledged dog demon and the other a boy a few years older than myself, he was a half-dog demon, the man was about to hurt the boy. The man had long flowing silver hair and amber eyes, the boy was the same though his hair wasn't as long and he had fuzzy dog ears that were on top of his head, they must be related somehow I snapped out of my thoughts. "NO!" I screamed as I ran over to stop him they looked over to me, I stopped as I stood in between them "Please don't! Just because he's a half breed it doesn't mean he deserves to be treated any differently! Please!" I exclaimed as I felt tears stream down my face. "Move half breed this matter does not concern you" the man said sternly in a cold, bitter tone as a frown crossed his face "Please sir I beg you not to kill him, my father is a demon slayer and I know that some demons should be killed on their intentions not on their looks so please don't kill him" I begged.
He relaxed his hand letting it hang at his side "Name?" he questioned "My name is Manami what is your name?" I replied "Lord Sesshomaru, next time you interfere with a conflict between that runt and I, you may not walk away unharmed" he said. "Jerk!" the boy exclaimed as he ran in front of me he looked about 8 in human years the man turned his head slightly giving a glare "Stop it! You're family right?!" I exclaimed they both gave me looks "Half-brothers" the boy said bitterly. I frowned "It's better than nothing, please don't turn away from each other" I said "That brat…" Lord Sesshomaru said "My name is InuYasha!" the boy exclaimed as they stared daggers at each other. I knitted my brows together I grabbed Inuyasha's hand then Lord Sesshomaru's hand "Come on we'll have lunch together" I said as I walked off dragging them with me back to where I was earlier "Let go of me!" Inuyasha said I tightened my grip on their hands. I got to where I was and let go of them "You dare lead me around like some human's pet" Sesshomaru said in disgust I noticed a fluffy thing attached to his shoulder that went down his back I smiled from ear-to-ear. "So Fluffly!" I exclaimed as I ran over and grabbed it holding it tight as I cuddled into it "Let go half breed pest" Sesshomaru said "Fluffy…" I squealed I heard him growl softly I looked up to him still hanging onto his fluff. "You'll stay right? Please! I'll even catch food for us to eat" I begged, he blinked as a confused and awed look crossed his face, he sighed then sat down "Fetch fish from that river then" he commanded "Yes Fluffy!" I said excitedly.
I stood up then grabbed Inuyasha's arm and dragged him over to the river bank "You have a long name like your brother so I'm just going to call you Yashie for short ok?" I said Inuyasha's eyes widened in awe and looked at me weirdly. "I'll take that as it's ok, now come on let's fish!" I said and knelt by the river bank I saw a fish swim by and went to catch it but it slipped through my hands "Uh… It got away…" I muttered "Here I'll show you how's it done" Inuyasha said with confidence. He shot his hand into the water as a fish swam by, he grabbed it by it's tail and threw it back, we looked back as the fish came towards Sesshomaru, he caught it with one hand "Good catch Fluffy!" I exclaimed. "It's Lord Sesshomaru" he said I giggled then looked back to Inuyasha "Can I try now?" I asked he gave a nod "Sure I ain't stopping you" he said I smiled and looked at the water and tried to follow what Inuyasha did but the fish went to swim away. I lent further over and fell into the fast flowing river "Ah!" I cried out as I surfaced I coughed "Help!" I cried out "I'm coming Manami!" Inuyasha called out, I got pulled under again I then felt a strong adult hand grab my arm and pull me out. I coughed as I tried to get my breath back "Sesshomaru is she ok?!" Inuyasha exclaimed I looked up to find myself in Sesshomaru's arms "You saved me…" I said in awe "Don't think this means anything" he said I hugged him "Thank you Fluffy" I said "It's Lord Sesshomaru" he said firmly.
Sesshomaru placed me down "Inuyasha stay with her I will get food and firewood" Sesshomaru said then took off, I sat in silence shivering slightly Inuyasha took his top Haori covering off and placed it around my shoulders "Thank you Yashie" I said flashing him a bright smile. He looked away as a light blush crossed his face, it went silent again but within a few minutes Sesshomaru was back with a bunch of fish and firewood, he placed them down and gave Inuyasha a look. "You can do this" Sesshomaru said then sat down himself, Inuyasha quickly set the fire pit up then started on cooking the fish I moved shuffled across the ground till I go to the fluff on the ground that was hanging off Sesshomaru's shoulder. I laid down while I cuddled it "So fluffy" I muttered "Don't get used to this half breed" he said "Her name's Manami" Inuyasha said "That's ok I don't mind if you want you can call me Mana that's what my papa calls me" I said then yawned falling into a light sleep. I awoke what felt like hours later "Hey Mana, I saved you some fish after you finish I can teach you some moves" Inuyasha said "Hmpf…" Sesshomaru puffed "You got something to say then spit it out" Inuyasha snapped. "You are not skilled enough to fight let alone teach" Sesshomaru said I perked up "We can teach each other!" I exclaimed they both looked at me "We'll be friends forever!" I exclaimed they looked at me with slight smiles forming on their faces.
Flashback ends.
Inuyasha's view.
A few hours had passed by, Manami was still out cold laying by the fire, we had a fire going and had some fish cooking, Jaken was resting against A-Un who was sleeping, Kohaku was sitting just staring at the fire, Rin was asking Sesshomaru questions I chuckled. Sesshomaru didn't seem to mind it was good to have things settled between us again but he won't be the say again I cut his arm off, there's no way he could forgive me for that, I heard Kohaku let out a sigh I looked at him. He looked so pained "Kohaku your sister is worried about you, I can take you back to her if you like" I said he looked at me wide-eyed "N-No please don't, I'm already dead there's no hope for me, she should just accept that now and forget me" Kohaku said. I frowned "Easier said than done, at least sort things out between each other before giving in like this" I said he looked down and away as he let out another painful sigh "Get everything off your mind before making a decision trust me talking it over makes a difference" I said. I then looked over to Manami she had been slightly moving and muttered words too soft for even a demon to hear, my brows knitted together in hope that she was remembering and that coming back here wouldn't-didn't cause her any pain.
Kagome's view.
We had been walking for ages now it was getting close to dusk I let out a sigh when Kirara growled as she jumped from Sango's arms and turned big "Kirara?" Sango questioned Kirara growled and ran off "Kirara!" Sango yelled as she ran after Kirara "Sango! Kirara!" I called out as I ran after them. Shippo clung to me tightly as the guys ran after me "What's Kirara doing running off like that?" Shippo questioned "Perhaps she's found something" Miroku said "Whatever she's gone after we have to hurry" I said we finally got to a cave Kirara and Sango had gone in, we all followed. Ginta san past us to some clothing from the future era that were on the ground "Ginta?" Kazuya questioned "I-It's Manami's clothes…" Ginta said "Well it's good that she's not with Naraku" Miroku said "Wait I smell Sesshomaru's scent and Kohaku's scent" Shippo said. "What? You mean Manami is with Sesshomaru?" I said in awe "Maybe he rescued her and Kohaku while in his attempt to kill Naraku" Miroku said "Sesshomaru's usually cold hearted though" Sango said "Yes but don't forget he took in that human girl, Rin" I said. "Ginta it's ok this makes it easier for us to get her back now" Kazuya said then I thought back to when Inuyasha left "Maybe not…" I said "Huh? What do you mean sister?" Hakkaku said "Inuyasha left us all, Manami is with Sesshomaru… Sesshomaru and Inuyasha are half-brothers and bitter enemies" I said. "We need to find her and quick" Ginta said "Kirara can you following their scents?" Sango asked Kirara sniffed around and lead the way out we followed her until night finally came "Let's camp and continue in the morning Kirara can pick up their scents" Miroku said. "I'm not just going to wait around when we have her scent we should…" Ginta said growling showing his fangs "Ginta you need your strength so you can protect her" Koga said Ginta looked away as he sat away from us a little I sighed, I just hope we're not too late, that Inuyasha and Sesshomaru haven't butted heads already.
