Chapter 8: What's going on?
Picking up from where Inuyasha's last view point ended.
Kazuya's view:
"But…" Kagome started "Kagome stop please" Inuyasha said as he turned to face her "Manami is important to me and I promised I would look after her as did my brother so please let us look after her when things get back to normal then I may come back" Inuyasha said. "When things get back to normal? What's that meant to mean?" I questioned with a raised brow Inuyasha looked at me "I can't tell you" Inuyasha replied "Can't or won't?" I growled he frowned "None of your business" he snapped. "Ok let's calm down, we are clearly all exhausted in one form or another so…" Miroku said "No more breaks" Ginta growled "I agree there" I puffed "Tch go home, Sesshomaru and I can take care of her just fine" Inuyasha puffed. "Yashie! Yashie help!" Manami's voice called out I looked towards where her voice came from "Mana…" Inuyasha said in fear then ran off I ran off after him as did Ginta, I heard everyone else run after me but I could only hope she was ok. "Ginta! Kazuya!" Manami's voice yelled out I pushed myself to run faster as was Ginta, Manami wasn't far away but she was definitely in trouble I just hope we can get to her in time before anything else happens to her.
Straight after Manami's last view point.
Manami's view:
I then could smell other scents, some very familiar, Ginta, Kazuya, Hakkaku and Koga's scents "Ginta! Kazuya!" I yelled out but quickly after received a slap "Let's not be hasty half breed, after all you haven't helped us out yet" the main demon man said. I soon felt a gag tie around my mouth very tightly from behind, I struggled to remove it when two others had grabbed either of my arms and tied them together tightly with rope, I felt tears streaming out the main demon man stood tall. "I am Akito, leader of the warriors from the Elemental Demon Clan…" he said I frowned as he took a step closer and knelt down then grabbed my chin and smiled "You will help me whether you like it or not" Akito said. My eyes widened slightly as I frowned, I could feel tears build up, why am I always getting kidnapped by weirdos? Akito raised a brow as he tilted my face from one direction to the next "You look like that wench and yet you still remind me of him, hopefully you will be of use to me-well our leader that is" Akito said then smirked. "Mana!" Yashie called out I gasped "Yashie!" I called out though the gag muffled my voice, Akito grabbed my throat as he stood up dragging me to my feet and held me tight against him as he held his blade in front of me "Manami hold on we're coming!" Kazuya called out. "Kazuya…" I said softly in awe and relief "Tch that spoilt royal half breed brat lives?" Akito questioned softly in disgust then chuckled "Looks like we can have a sporting match after all" Akito said with a grin. I felt a growl escape and chewed on the gag, it broke, "Kazuya go back! It's a trap!" I exclaimed "Wench shut your mouth" Akito growled "Never" I snapped he pressed his blade to my throat "Stand still and look pretty" he growled softly.
Ginta's view:
"Kazuya go back! It's a trap!" Manami exclaimed, I frowned "Damn whoever has her" Kazuya growled "I second that" I growled I could smell her scent nearing and she soon came into view a rare elemental demon tribe came into view one who looked to be the leader had Manami in a tight grip. He had his blade at her throat and a smug look on his face "Ginta!" Manami exclaimed I could see the looked of fear on her face, she wasn't dressed how I last saw her, she was in a beautiful kimono I picked up my speed "Hey how dare you…" Inuyasha started. "Let Manami go right now!" I growled as I stood in front the man holding Manami laughed "No can do, she has skills that I require" he said "She has nothing you need so let her go" Inuyasha said. "You must be Yashie" the man said "Tch it's Inuyasha to you now get your filthy hands of Manami" Inuyasha growled "This girl is the daughter of a very famous man who's skills are admired and feared by many so I don't think I will release her" he said smugly. "Manami can't help you she doesn't remember anything so I'm gonna tell you once more let her go" Inuyasha said, remember? Inuyasha does know Manami and too well by the sounds of it, the man laughed. "I'll give you my name to shout all over the region in search for her though, It's Akito" he said smugly then looked to the others giving a signal "Manami!" I exclaimed as I leapt towards her "Ginta!" Manami exclaimed but as she did a spark lit up. White smoke covered the whole area, I couldn't see or smell anything, I heard coughing and coughed myself as well as waving the smoke away, when the smoke cleared they were gone and with Manami, I sighed as I fell to my knees. Not again "Manami…" I said softly "Damn it what the hell was Sesshomaru doing?!" Inuyasha growled I stood up and faced him "What the hell were you doing?! You and he said you were meant to protect her and now look at what's happened to her!" I shouted as I grabbed his haori top.
Inuyasha's view:
I growled "Let go wolf" I snapped as I tore his hands of my Haori top "Sesshomaru was protecting her while I was out scouting, so blame him not me" I snapped "Could Sesshomaru be in trouble?" Shippo asked "Heh not likely and if he is he can get himself out of trouble" I replied. I frowned then looked in the direction of where I last left Sesshomaru and the others "Inuyasha what are you thinking?" Miroku asked "I'm going to see Sesshomaru he may know about these guys and where they hide" I replied then took off. "Wait for us mutt-face!" Koga yelled I growled but didn't reply to his insult I had to find out what happened, I keep running as the others started to catch up, Kirara carrying Sango, Miroku, Kagome and Shippo, while Koga, Ginta, Hakkaku and Kazuya ran. When I got the clearing I saw men they were a mercenary cross demon slayer cult, rare just as much as the cult Manami's family is from, my eyes widened as I saw Sesshomaru change from his giant dog form back to his demon form. He was hurt bad "Sesshomaru!" I called out as I ran over to him "You were not to come back, you should have just stayed with your friends and kept them away long enough for Manani to retrieve her memories" Sesshomaru said. "Manami was taken" I said he turned his head looking at me with a look in his eyes, one I had seen a few times before "Who?" Sesshomaru asked "A elemental demon tribe" Ginta replied "Stay out of this wolf" I said. "Enough Inuyasha" Sesshomaru said I looked at him "Mana would not be happy for her friends to be fighting with each other, starting from now we shall work together" Sesshomaru said. "Fine" I said as I gave a slight nod "We know how important she is and the more protecting her the better her chances of survival are" Sesshomaru said he was right and it annoyed me knowing he was, I just hope we're not too late.
Manami's view:
After the smoke cleared I was in a different place completely near the beginning of a village half in the forest and the other half just outside of it, I could hear crashing waves in the distance, there were huts made in the trees with bridges and walkways to connect them. It was like one big treehouse, there were also a few huts on the ground most built around the base of the trees "You three go report to the chief" Akito said to three of the ones apart of the group that took me. The three ran off to what was not a big mountain but big enough and it wasn't too far of the forest either "Now you two take this half-breed to the lock up, I'll bring the chief myself to see her" Akito said "Yes Sir" the two said. They took either of my arms and held them firmly leading me fairly fast my feet were barely keeping up, I was being dragged to what looked to be the other side of their village, I could see women and children that were dressed up like the men and they had their own weapons. I couldn't believe what I was seeing, children with weapons "Don't you think you're going overboard by giving weapons to children? You can't seriously expect them to fight in your battles" I said "Tch so says you" one said as the other gave a nod in agreement. I frowned why does everyone but me know about my past? I wish I could remember everything already, I could see a cage up ahead that had shackles in them, it was just near the outside of the village.
I sighed "Again with the chains" I muttered, I could see the two at either side of me grinning like idiots one opened the cage then the other threw me inside they then started placing the shackles on my wrists and ankles, once they were done they locked the door and walked off. I let out a long depressing sigh as I sat on the cold floor with my back against the bars "Just my luck" I grumbled just then I felt something cold touch my hand I looked down and saw ice. "Ice?" I said in awe then looked around seeing it nowhere else "What's ice doing here? It's so warm, how can ice even form?" I questioned "Pst" a voice called out from behind me "Huh?" I puffed then went to turn around. "Don't turn around just keep looking as if you are talking to yourself" a woman's voice said softly "Others will think I'm crazy then" I said, "That's the point so they won't come over" she replied softly "Oh…" I puffed "Just stay still I'll get you out" she said. "Ok thank you" I said I felt something move and looked down to see ice form around the shackles and then a lock pick form from ice "Is nothing normal in this place, I mean for once I'd like something normal that I do understand to happen" I complained loudly. "That's it, keep it up" the woman whispered, I heard a couple clicks "First Naraku and now you guys!" I exclaimed growling slightly this time I heard two more clicks "Ok move forward a little bit" the woman said quietly it sounded like she was a little closer to me this time. I did as she asked and moved forward slightly, the wind was coming from my direction towards her, since she was downwind I had no hope of smelling her scent not that it would help much I'm still getting the hang of my senses.
I felt something hot at the back of me I frowned as I could feel it the heat on my back "Hot…" I puffed "Hang in there" she said I frowned, it was a nice heat at first but it had gotten to the heat as if I wear an animal roasting or a fire-pit, I then felt a sudden change, something icy cold at the back of me. Steam had come up and covered the area I felt a hand grab my arm "Let's go" the woman said as she pulled me out of the cage, we ran off, I was keeping up with her for now and I managed to catch some of scent now but she was different she smelt like different demons. Her smell made me very confused, she had a hooded long cape on preventing me from seeing what she looks like "This way, follow me" she said as she turned behind a tree then slid down through some of the twisted roots at its base. "Uh…" I puffed I heard yelling in the distance I followed the mysterious woman taking my chances with her then with an angry elemental demon tribe, I slide down part of the roots but it suddenly cut off and I flew off and came flying down to the ground with a thud. "Ow…" I groaned rubbing my butt as I got up "Shh" the woman said as she came over placing her hand over my mouth "Don't make a sound" she said I stayed silent and still as possible, hearing the yelling get closer. They were looking for me we stayed silent for a few minutes till they were out of range "Alright I'll lead you out then from there your on your own" she said, "Wait I have so many questions" I said she turned back and face me still not showing her face. "Let's make things clear we are not friends, I just know that the Elemental demons are merciless, besides you and I seem to share the same pain of losing others" she said, "So that's why you saved me because we both know what it's like to lose the ones we care for?" I questioned.
"Yes, the look you have in your eyes tells me that" she said, "It's true I've lost so many things even my memory of my real family, I only just remembered two dear friends of mine and I have them and new friends out there probably worried about me right now and I'd do anything to make sure I don't lose them either" I said. She turned away not saying anything "Let's go" she said I sighed and followed her we walked underground for a couple hours in silence "So uh what kind of demon are you?" I asked, "You seriously can't tell by smell?" she asked. "Uh well I'm relearning everything about being a demon, I spent most my life in a future era being human" I explained "Future era?" she said in slight disbelief and awe then shook her head "I'm a mixed breed, I'm sure you can figure the rest out" she said. I gasped seeing light up ahead "Is that where we're getting out?" I asked "Yes then we split up" she said "But…" I started "No buts you have your friends to get back to and I have my own life to lead" she said. I puffed a sigh "You sound so much like Fluffy when I first met him" I muttered under my breath we got out by a tree near a clearing beside a mountain a familiar looking mountain to me. "Alright this it, it's time for us to part ways" the woman said then started to walk off "Thank you for helping me" I said she just kept walking I sighed and looked around, the mountain seemed familiar, I walked off towards it hoping to find something.
Ginta's view:
It had been a few hours since Manami was taken by the Elemental demon tribe and since we had now teamed up with Sesshomaru and his followers as well as having Sister Kagome and her friends, including Inuyasha. The little girl, Rin took a liking to Sister Kagome and Sango though she tended to stay with Jaken, Kohaku or Sesshomaru, Kohaku and Sango were talking-well Sango was doing most of the talking Kohaku looked pained by even being near her. The vibes he was giving off told me that much along, Inuyasha was walking by Sesshomaru's side which was very unusual according to Sister Kagome and her friends, Sister Kagome still seemed upset Koga had tried talking to her but only got a couple words from her. He just decided to just walk next to her hoping company alone would help Kazuya was talking to Miroku and Shippo about Manami and Kazuya's family "Hey Ginta, look we'll find her" Hakkaku said. "Yeah but what about next time huh? First Naraku then the Elemental Clan, I can't keep finding her only to lose her again" I said in irritation as my brows knitted together "I don't want to come across as being harsh Ginta, I know I haven't be in love before but I am trying to help, I really am" Hakkaku said. I sighed then looked at him and gave a slight smile "Yeah I know, I couldn't have asked for a better best friend" I said he smiled "Likewise bud, now let's find Mana" Hakkaku said I gave a nod Sesshomaru suddenly stopped.
Sesshomaru's view:
I stopped sensing something wrong in the air, I looked towards the South then the North "What's wrong my Lord?" Rin asked I could feel the rage from the North but there was something else there, something that told me Manami would be ok. "We will go to her home" I said "What? We haven't even found her yet" Inuyasha snapped I looked at him giving a slight glare as I narrowed my eyes, his ears twitched as his nose crinkled up slightly and his amber orbs flexed in distress. "She will be fine" I said then started to walked towards her home in the North-West "How do you know?" Koga asked "Inuyasha I told you a little a bout our father, some part of you must feel the same as I do now" I said as I stopped and looked at him. Inuyasha puffed a sigh and closed his eyes, his brows knitted together as he tried to sense more, feel more, his ears twitched a little before he opens his eyes then looks at me "I think your right, I think she's ok" I said. "You think? Mutt none of us have seen her yet and you want to rely on your gut instincts?" Koga questioned "You trust yours, so now we ask you trust us" I said then continued walking, the wolves were a little sceptic but followed anyways.
