CHAPTER 8: Naraku's new helper
"Hey come with me, I want you to meet everyone" I said as I stood up "Sure sounds great, I can't wait to meet the lucky guy" Isamu said as he winked at me, Toshio grunted "Isamu keep your thoughts to yourself when we meet everyone" Toshio says as he stands up with his spear in hand. "Yeah ok" Isamu sighs as he stands up with his spear, I lead the way back to the hut, as my brothers follow, when we got there I saw Takara playing with Kilala, Shippo and Rin, A-Un was sleeping, and Jaken sat by A-Un's side looking troubled. While Koga, Hakkaku and Ginta sat down with Kagome, Sango and Miroku, Inuyasha was sitting by himself sulking, "Akira where's Lord Sesshomaru?" Toshio asked "Oh he went for a walk, he'll be back soon though" I replied, Rin saw me and ran straight over to Koga pointing in this direction. My brothers and I walked over to everyone but Inuyasha sat where he was only glancing over now and again, "Mom!" Rin yelled as she ran over to me "Hey, sorry about running off earlier but I recognized familiar scents" I said "That's ok, I knew you'd come back" Rin replied. "Mom" Isamu growled "You took in a human girl… I thought you were done with having these sorts of relationships with humans especially after what happened with your last lover!" Isamu snapped I stood up "Rin go over to A-Un and Jaken now" I said not moving my gaze from Isamu's. I could feel everyone's gaze on us "So you're ok with me being friends with them just not being involved any further, right?" I ask. "Isamu I told you to keep your thoughts to your self did I not?" Toshio says as he points his spear tip at Isamu, "Yes brother…" Isamu growled and looked away disgusted "Sorry sister…" Toshio says as he takes his staff away from Isamu "For some reason I half expected something like that to happen" I replied.
I walked back over to Rin, Toshio followed while Isamu stayed where he was still furious Toshio smiled at Rin "So this is my adorable new niece huh? Sorry if my brother scared you he's never really liked humans" Toshio said, Rin was still a little bit scared, I knew it would take time, and I had all the time in the world "Rin it's ok, why don't you go play with Shippo, Kilala and Takara" I said Rin smiled "Okay…" Rin replied and ran off to play. "Everyone this is Toshio, and the other one that's sulking is Isamu" I said "Isamu still hasn't learnt his lesson and can lose his temper easily so I advise you to distance yourself from him a bit" Toshio said "The only problem I've got is you telling me what to do all the time!" Isamu yelled I frowned. Toshio went around introducing himself and getting to know everyone while Isamu was sulking "Akira… How are you doing?" Koga asked as he put his arm around my back "Well my injuries are fine but with my brothers, mainly Isamu not so good…" I sighed, "Akira… I'm sorry about Isamu he's changed quite a bit" Toshio says walking over to us. "It's ok, oh Toshio this is Koga" I said, Toshio smiled "It's nice to meet you, I got to say Akira's had a lot of bad things happen but I think her meeting you has changed things, I haven't since a smile on my sister's face in quite a long time" Toshio said "Yeah likewise, thanks but we've changed each other's lives" Koga said holding me close. Isamu came over "Have you settled down now?" Toshio asked "Yeah… Sorry" Isamu replied "Good, Isamu this is Koga… be nice" Toshio said Isamu's eyes darted to Koga and looked him and down, then a smirk appeared on his face as he turned back to me "Sis I'm impressed, you've finally moved up in the world having this guy…" Isamu said with a huge grin Toshio hit Isamu over the head "Ouch!" Isamu yelped, I sighed heavily "I warned you…" Toshio said staring at Isamu with an icy glare.
"Ah haha yeah, sorry I couldn't help myself…. So ah what are your plans from now on sis" Isamu asked "Well I plan to continue my search for Naraku" I replied, Isamu frowned and Toshio raised a brow "Akira do you think that's wise, he's power will have increased with having some pieces of the sacred jewel" Toshio questioned. "Wise?" I growled "Have you forgotten it was Naraku who slaughtered our parents!" I shouted frowning as my eyes narrowed and ears flicked back "I have not forgotten I am merely concerned for your safety" Toshio replied. "Hey how come you get up me for being angry and not her?" Isamu asked frowning at Toshio "Shut up! And don't you dare question me, I've managed to keep myself alive until now without your help" I shouted at both of them they both avoided their eyes from mine and tilted their heads down to the ground knowing that they did wrong. "I let you back into my life because you are both my brothers and our parents would not be proud of us fighting, I've gotten over what you two have done, now it's time you two started to grow up and stop acting out of rage and fear" I said and looked to them "Besides I need both of you… Our sisters are out there somewhere and I will find them… We will find them" I spoke again. Toshio and Isamu both looked at me in awe "What makes you so sure they're alive?" Isamu asked "Yes, our father searched for years and could not find them, what makes you think we will find them?" Toshio said, my ears pricked up and a smile formed on my face "Because family will always find each other, our sisters are out there and we will find them" I said in a positive tone "I'm going to help you look" Koga said as he entwined his fingers with mine and held my hand. "I will not argue with your judgment sister, we shall follow you wherever you go" Toshio said smiling "Except for bath time…" Isamu chuckled Toshio, Koga and I frowned at Isamu's joke, "Isamu, you may be my brother but your jokes are still not even remotely funny…" I said "I agree" Toshio said.
"Akira!" I turned around to see Lord Sesshomaru call my name "We need to talk… Now" Lord Sesshomaru said as he walked back into the forest, "I'll catch up with you guys later, be nice and don't do anything stupid" I said and kissed Koga on the cheek "I'll be back soon" I said with a smile and ran off to catch up with Sesshomaru. I puffed out a sigh as I caught up to Lord Sesshomaru "Soo…" I said "Naraku will be planning an attack with such a large number of us all here together… We need to separate and not gather like this unless it is truly necessary" Lord Sesshomaru said, I sighed. "I agree brother, but is it so dangerous for one night, surely if we break off in the early morning it would still give us time to…" I said but was cut off "No Akira it is too dangerous, Naraku has probably put a plan together already we must separate" Sesshomaru said "Sesshomaru, it's not just about Naraku is it? It's about being so close to Inuyasha for so long without killing him right?" I asked. Sesshomaru gave me an icy glare and hit me on the head, enough to say don't even bring it up, I lowered my head slightly "I should ah get A-Uh, Master Jaken and Rin for you, I'll be right back" I said and turned to leave. "There will be no need to come back and see me off just say your goodbyes and send them here" Sesshomaru said "Yes Sesshomaru, until next time then, be careful" I replied, Sesshomaru puffed a grunt, to say as if anyone could lay a finger on me I sighed and ran off back to where everyone else was and looked at everyone. I spotted Rin playing Ginta and Hakkaku had joined in too, I was happy seeing everyone together but I knew that Sesshomaru was right, he always was but in order for us all to remain safe it was better to separate, "Jaken! A-Un! Rin!" I yelled as I waved them over, Rin ran happily into my arms as Jaken and A-Un strolled over "So you have spoken with Lord Sesshomaru, what did he say?" Jaken asked "Sesshomaru is waiting in the forest not far off, you all need to meet with him, Naraku will have something planned if we all stay together in the one area" I said sadly "Right then we should go, it was nice to see you again, come on let's not dawdle A-Un and Rin, Lord Sesshomaru is waiting for us" Jaken said as he walked over to the forest with A-Un traveling behind. "Akira… does this mean that we won't be…" Rin sobbed, I pulled her to my chest, I could see the others look over at us, I darted my eyes back to Rin "Listen this will be for your own safety, until Naraku is dead, and everything goes back to normal we'll have to be apart, just for a little while though I can still visit" I said "You promise you'll visit? And that you'll never forget that were family now?" Rin asked "I promise, but for now you have to journey with Lord Sesshomaru and do as he says, he will keep you safe" I said "Rin! Hurry up!" Jaken called.
I whipped Rin's tears away and kissed her forehead "You should hurry, they're waiting for you" I said, Rin smiled "Okay… Goodbye, mother" Rin replied and ran off to catch up with A-Un and Jaken, I stood up and watched them disappeared into the forest. I turned around and went over to the group, I felt rage I had got happiness but it didn't last because of Naraku, something felt wrong, I needed to spar and get my anger out "INUYASHA!" I yelled "Huh? What?!" Inuyasha growled "Get up and fight me… you want to finish our dual or what?" I growled. "Akira! Stop this isn't like you starting fights..." Toshio said stepping in my way "Yeah what happened? What's going on?" Isamu said I growled and flicked my ears back "Move or you'll be the next ones I spar with!" I shouted, they both stepped aside in terror. I held my hand on my katana, as did Inuyasha as he stood in a fighting stance "What's a matter afraid to leap into battle with me?" I taunted as a grin spread across my face, in my heart I knew what I was doing was wrong, but my head had a different opinion, the feeling I had created in my thoughts soon made my whole body fill with rage and wanted, no needed to kill something but why did those thoughts even occur. "Shut up! Are you asking for your own funeral? You've only just come out of one battle was serious injuries!" Inuyasha barked, a voice suddenly came in to my head 'Kill him… Kill Inuyasha' I shook my head and groaned, urgh kill him, that voice it's controlling me 'Kill him now!' I can't stop myself "Akira?" Koga said worried. I darted my eyes to Koga then back at Inuyasha "Inuyasha… You should run…" I said, they had all now got confused expressions on their faces "Hey what's the big deal? You ask for a fight and now you want me to run?" Inuyasha barked I closed my eyes and growled "I don't want to fight you idiot!" I yelled as I slowly opened my eyes "It's not me doing this…" I said again. Resisting this voice is hard, I won't be able to resist much longer 'Kill Inuyasha now!' the voice had gotten to me and I was aware of what I was doing but couldn't control my own movements, I pulled my katana out and was charging at Inuyasha I jumped up and came down swinging my katana down it had hit his sword.
Inuyasha was pushing his sword against my katana and "Inuyasha… help… me…" I managed to get a few words out, Inuyasha looked at me in shock and kicked me away, "Wake up stupid! Don't let Naraku control you like this!" Inuyasha yelled. Tears ran down my face but I had tried fighting the voice in my head but it hadn't, I was trying to fight against it, trying to control my own body, I didn't want to kill "Akira!" Koga yelled Miroku stopped him from approaching "It's too dangerous if Naraku is the one doing this to her, then there must be a demon nearby controlling her… One of his own incarnations I expect" Miroku said. Koga growled, I charged at Inuyasha again, trying to stop myself Inuyasha jumped in the air to avoid my katana I twirled around and came after him again swinging my katana at him, Inuyasha place his blade up and blocked my swing. Inuyasha flung out his claws and swung them at me, I jumped back and avoided the hit I placed the katana back in its sheath and brought out my claws, I jumped at Inuyasha I had my hand straight and placed at his chest, while he tried to hold my hand back. Maybe there's a way to stop this, maybe if he knocked me out they would have time to search for Naraku's demon "Inuyasha… knock me out… it'll give you time to find… Naraku's demon" I puffed "Huh? Akira…" Inuyasha replied stunned "Do it… Quickly" I puffed again. Inuyasha swung his fist at my face, I dodged and jumped away "Dam it, guys get some rope, we'll have to knock her and tie her up till we can kill the demon" Inuyasha yells as Inuyasha talks I charge at him. "Inuyasha!" Kagome yells, Inuyasha jumps away but I catch his leg and slam him to the ground and pressing my claws to his throat "Sorry sis" 'Isamu's voice' I felt being struck over the head with something hard then my mind went blank as I hit the ground.
"What's going on I thought you had control of her!" 'Naraku's voice' "Yes when she's awake!" 'Woman's voice' "Well fix it or you won't be receiving your payment" 'Naraku's voice' "I have a better idea I will rid her of mind control, and instead I will have something much more… Haha something more fun planned" 'woman's voice' "Do as you please, as long as they are all dead I do not care how it is done" 'Naraku's voice' "Very well… Time to have some fun" 'woman's voice'. My eyes snapped open and I could no longer hear any voices and was in control of my own body, I was tied to a tree, ropes linking my hand together and a rope running around the tree around two parts of my body, my torso and legs. I couldn't see anyone around "Hey is anyone there?! Hello!" I yelled, why did they just ditch me? "Sister your awake" Isamu said happily as he came out from the shrub "Isamu stay away she could still be controlled" Toshio said following him. I frowned and hung my head "No that's over, this woman has something else planned, apparently more fun as she put it… but I know thing she was hiding out with Naraku while controlling me" I replied and sighed heavily "So you're really back? I'm so sorry I knocked you out" Isamu said as he came over to undo the ropes "No don't be sorry if you hadn't I would have killed Inuyasha… I wouldn't be able to leave with myself if I…" I replied as I held back the tears. Once Isamu had untied the ropes, Toshio came to my side to help me walk "I'm fine, where is everyone?" I ask "Isamu round everyone up I'll take care of Akira until you and everyone else gets back" Toshio said Isamu nodded and ran off "They went looking for the demon… That woman who was controlling me?" I asked "Yes, everyone was worried, especially Koga I told him to go since it would pain him to see you tied up" Toshio replied. "Thank you Toshio…" I said, I followed Toshio to a camp site that was set up "Lay down and rest you've been through a lot" Toshio said as he went to start a fire "I'd prefer not to sleep let alone rest after what just happened" I replied as sat down against a log, I wonder when Koga will be here, and Inuyasha I have to apologize to him.
"Akira!" Koga voice rang out as he jumped out from the trees and stood there puffing with a worried yet hopeful look in his eyes, I stood up "Koga!" I shouted as I ran into his arms, he embraced me back "Koga, I'm so sorry that you had to see that…" I said softly. "Don't apologize, I'm just glad you're ok and back to normal again" Koga replied softly as he embraced me tighter and tears spilt from my eyes "I-I was scared Koga, I didn't want to kill anyone… And I thought what if I had killed Inuyasha… Who would I have gone after then… I was so afraid" I sobbed into Koga's chest "It's ok now" Koga said my grip on him tightened. "Akira…." I heard multiple voices chat my name, the others had arrived and I could feel their eyes on me as I still cried into Koga's chest, "Akira…" 'Inuyasha's voice' I pulled away from Koga and turned around to look at Inuyasha as tears still ran down my face. "Inuyasha… I'm so sorry, I could have killed you… I didn't mean to hurt you" I sobbed "Yeah, I know it's ok, it was Naraku's doing not yours" Inuyasha replied "Sorry to say Akira but we found no trace of the demon or Naraku" Miroku said "That's because they weren't in the area, they knew once someone caught on to what was going on, they'd be hunted down so they moved to a safe far away location…" I replied. "That sounds like Naraku alright, do you know where they are?" Sango asked I shook my head "Sorry I only heard them speaking I didn't get a visual" I replied "It's ok Akira, we'll get them and make them both pay for what they've done" Kagome said "Yes but for now we should all get a good rest" Sango said. I went to sit by a tree away from the fire but not far enough not to feel the heat, Koga sat down beside me and wrapped his arm around me, I leaned myself against his chest "Koga when do you think this will all be over?" I asked as I placed my head on his shoulder. "Soon I hope..." Koga said "You should sleep, you still haven't fully recovered from your wounds from the last fight with Kageromaru and Juromaru yet" Koga said again "I can't sleep not with what just happened…" I replied as I let out a heavy sigh "Akira I'll be right here, if anything should happen I'll protect you, I'll make sure you stay alive and safe" Koga replied. "Ok, goodnight Koga, I love you" I said softly and closed my eyes as I snuggled up against Koga "Goodnight my Akira, I love you too" Koga replied as he tightened his grip on me I fell into a deep sleep.
I woke up to being held in a warm embrace, I looked at up Koga "Good morning it seems you slept alright" Koga said with a smile "That's thanks to you Koga" I replied as I met his lips with mine "Geez do you two ever give it a rest?" Inuyasha grumbled "Hey leave her alone dog…" Isamu growled. "It's ok Isamu you get used to him after a while" I said as I parted from Koga, "Say Kagome, Sango do you two fancy going to a nearby hot spring to wash up?" I asked. Kagome bounced straight up "Sure that sounds fantastic" Kagome said with a smile and a bounce in her step "Sounds good, it'll be good to have some girl time" Sango replied as she hoped up, so the three of us set off to a hot spring lucky Kagome had a couple of towels in that back pack of hers. Once we reached the hot spring we all stripped down and all hoped in the hot spring "Mmm… Feels good" I mumble "Sure does, It's been a while since we've crossed a hot spring right Sango" Kagome says "Yeah…" Sango replies, we soak in the water, let our eyes close for a bit. I felt someone watching us I jump up and grab a nearby stick "Who's there?!" I growl "Akira what's wrong?" Kagome asked "It seems someone was watching us… And by the looks of things has taken all our clothes" Sango says "What in the hell is going on?!" I growl "Here…" Kagome gives a towel each that had been laying on the rocks close to us. "Is it someone from the group? Say Miroku perhaps?" Sango said narrowing her eyes "I don't so but whoever it is will pay, come on!" I said "Where are we going?" Kagome asked "Back to the camp the only way to find out if anyone from there took our clothes is to go and ask" Sango replied "Yeah and we need to go now, if we stay with only towels wrapped around us we'll have a lot more to worry about" I said. So we went back to camp and as we got there we stood there furious "Alright Miroku hand them back" Sango said annoyed "Huh? What do you mean? I haven't even left" Miroku replied "Isamu!" I growled "Don't look at me sis…" Isamu replied with his hands up "Akira we have all been here the whole time no one has left" Toshio said "God dam it!" I cursed "Then who took our clothes… You couldn't smell anyone could you Akira?" Kagome asked. "Tch if I did we wouldn't being standing here naked dripping wet" I growled, "Maybe your senses are dulled after your little head injury" Inuyasha smirked I growled "Watch your mouth mutt, never talk down to my woman!" Koga yelled "Akira, my men and your brothers will set out to see what happened to your clothes please stay be the fire and keep covered up" Koga said. I nodded "Thanks and don't worry I won't let anyone see me" I replied as I smiled "Just be careful" I added he smirked "Of course, I always am, alright Ginta, Hakkaku, Isamu and Toshio we'll set out and inspect the area" Koga said and the wolf demons ran off as us three girls sat on the opposite side of the fire from the men.
As we sat there watching the men to match sure they wouldn't look we kept ourselves covered up I sniffed the air and smelt Koga and the others coming I stood up, Kagome and Sango stood up beside me. Koga appeared with the others and had all our clothes "You found who took them… that was quick" Miroku said "No one took them not from what we could tell, they were still at the hot spring" Koga said "Are you guys sure that you weren't imaging things?" Isamu asked. "Are you calling us liars!" Sango yelled "No, all I'm saying is that there were no scents but you guys there and the clothes were still laying on the ground" Isamu snapped back "It didn't sound like that" Sango replied frowning. "Enough! Dam it this is there new plan… Can't you see they want us at each other's throats!" I shouted "It does make sense Akira but how would he even get close to snatch our clothes? Especially with you being a demon" Kagome asked "He probably put a barrier up, that would be the easiest way to do it" Miroku replied, us three girls glared at the monk, Miroku starting waving his hands in front of him "Not that I would or have done such a thing…" Miroku said. I turned back to Koga and grabbed my clothes off him "Thank you" I said and kissed him on the cheek, as I walked off "Hey Akira wait for us!" Kagome yelled as she grabbed her clothes and Sango's clothes off Toshio, Sango followed. We had gone far enough away from the camp to get dressed "I can't believe we didn't see this coming…" Sango muttered "How could we?" I asked rhetorically "Well should have at least new he was creating new plans" Sango replied "Yeah but each time he gets more cunning and tries different and new strategies… Which means unless we find his weakness soon I'm afraid we won't be able to stop him from developing new ways to kill us off" I said and sighed heavily. "If only I could sense the shards he has then we get somewhere…" Kagome grumbled "Don't beat yourself up it's probably not you, he probably has a barrier that can refrain you from sensing it" I replied "Is that even possible, to refrain Kagome from sensing the jewel?" Sango asks I shrug my shoulders "Who knows I was just guessing… Miroku probably knows more about barriers then I do" I reply. "Well we should get back and start looking for Naraku and that woman" Kagome says "Yeah, I hope we find them soon I fear what they're going to do next" Sango says I nod in agreement "You know maybe us wolf demons should part from you, we'll cover more ground that way, plus Takara and Kilala can find each other so we have a way of some sort of communication" I said. "You want us to split up?" Kagome asks "As much as it pains me to say I think Akira's right Kagome, I mean we would cover much more ground this way and we have ways of communicating so why not" Sango said "What happens if one group is in trouble and can't send for help?" Kagome asks worryingly "You worry too much Kagome, relax we'll meet up once a fortnight or so depending on what happens or what the guys want to do" I replied. "That's sounds good" Sango says Kagome nods her head "Ok then, well we should hurry back and let the guys know our plan…" Kagome says, Sango nods her head in agreement, Kagome takes our towels, as we walk back to the camp.
