Chapter 5: Finding answers
"Yuzuki?" Ginta said "Are you ok?" Hakkaku asked worriedly "He isn't conjuring up something, he wants to draw someone in…" I said "Like who?" Sango asked "Remember that village I grew up in?" I asked and everyone gasped "You mean? That was your home?" Ginta asked "Yes" I replied "So he's after you but why?" Miroku asked. "Because that night Ryo and I could've killed him, he thinks of me as a threat… We shouldn't sit around like this we have to help the villagers" I said and went to walk out when Miroku grabbed my arm "I'm sorry Yuzuki but I'm afraid doing that would only give Naraku what he wants…" Miroku said I shook him off me and frowned "So what you just want to let those innocent people die! You're a monk! You're meant to help people dam it!" I yelled, as tears streamed down my face. I fell to my knees and held my head in my hands and just cried "Yuzuki…" Hakkaku's voice I turned to face him "Some of the villagers could have survived you know" Hakkaku said trying to cheer me up, I don't know what happened but I threw myself at Hakkaku and cried on his chest, Hakkaku held me close. "Poor Yuzuki, I feel for her…" Shippo's voice "Yes, I believe we all do Shippo" Miroku's voice "We should check on the village tomorrow morning when Yuzuki's leg has healed…" Kagome's voice "Yes hopefully by then he will be gone" Sango's voice. I cried on Hakkaku's chest till I felt myself in a light sleep, I felt like I was being carried "Hakkaku what are you doing?" Ginta's voice "Going to lay her down, she's asleep" Hakkaku's voice "She cried herself to sleep? I can't believe Naraku, he always goes too far" Sango's voice. "Yeah that bastard will pay… I won't stop till he's dead" Inuyasha's voice I felt myself being put down but I was so comfortable and didn't want to be left alone so I clung to Hakkaku "Uh…" Hakkaku's voice "Looks like you'll be keeping Yuzuki company this time Hakkaku" Ginta's voice.
Hakkaku held me close to him as he laid down beside me "I can't help but wonder if Naraku is after Yuzuki's power, she must have an enormous amount of power yet I cannot sense any power emitting from her" Miroku's voice "But Miroku we all saw what she did before, showing an area and what every living thing was doing at that time" Sango's voice. "Sango I agree with Miroku I can't sense any sort of power from Yuzuki but Miroku if Yuzuki is this strong in power do you think it's possible that she would be able to destroy Naraku on her own?" Kagome's voice "I don't know Kagome but I know that if her power is this great, Naraku has a right to be scared" Miroku's voice hearing their conversation go on I slowly drifted into a deep sleep. "Dam she's still asleep! We should just wake her up, we're wasting time" Inuyasha's voice "Keep it down mutt, she's had a rough time" Koga's voice "Koga's right Inuyasha, Yuzuki needs her rest" Kagome's voice. "Bah whatever…" Inuyasha's voice just when I thought I understood Inuyasha he closes himself off again and turns back to the stupid, arrogant person he was "At least unlike one hanyo I don't sleep the day away cause of my problems" Inuyasha's voice I groaned and opened my eyes, "What was that?" I ask still feeling very tired but I suppose that's to be expected when you cry yourself to sleep. I slowly sat up "Yuzuki your awake, how do you feel?" Hakkaku asked "I'm ok thanks, sorry about crying on your chest and falling asleep on you, I didn't mean to be an inconvenience" I replied "That's ok, I don't mind, you're ok and that's the main thing" Hakkaku said smiling "Since you're finally awake we can get going" Inuyasha said. I stood up and looked at him "Oh no you don't…" I said and gave him a glare "Huh… What's that look for?" Inuyasha asked "You know very well… Since you're a hanyo who doesn't spend their days sleeping away their problems…" I growled Inuyasha looked a bit frightened now, I had summoned water to come and was behind him and smiled "Enjoy your trip Inuyasha" I said "Huh? What trip?" he asked then I flicked my hand slightly making the water come down on him and drag him down into in to the river below. "Inuyasha?" Kagome called "Don't worry Kagome he'll catch up with us, he should thank me for giving him a chance to have another bath" I said "Haha I agree" Shippo says as he jumps on my shoulder, "Shippo you never said before that you didn't like Inuyasha's scent" Miroku said "If I did that Inuyasha would hit me" Shippo replied.
We had packed up all our stuff and all got up on the top of the cliff and I started leading the way to my old home, we had eventually made it down to the river "Hey! How dare you!" Inuyasha yelled running after us still soaking wet "Hey Yuzuki I think you should start running" Shippo said "Yeah right this is the perfect chance to test who's the stronger hanyo" I said and ran at him, as he ran at me. "Don't hold back Inuyasha!" I yelled Inuyasha unsheathed his sword and raised it above his head "Wasn't planning on it! Wind Scar!" Inuyasha yelled as he swung his sword down sending light in the form of claw marks heading towards me "Yuzuki get out of there!" Koga yelled I stood still and brought a wall of water in front of me. As the wind Scar hit my wall of water, the wall fell covering me in water and the Wind Scar had vanished, "That all you got?" I ask, Inuyasha stood there confused and bewildered by what just happened "How did you do that?" he mumbled. I sighed "Come on before your face sticks like that, we should get going" I said and turned around to find everyone else looking at me shocked "That was amazing how did you do that? You stopped Inuyasha's Wind Scar" Miroku said. "Uh it's no big deal really, water holds the power of life and death so does air, if you don't have water or air you die, you need water and air to survive and so does every single thing on the planet, Inuyasha used that sword to summon the wind scar and wind and water are evenly matched" I replied walking over to everyone "We should practise…" Inuyasha says as he catches up with me as we kept heading in our current direction "Inuyasha no offence but you need something new, not an element more of a thing, once you acquire that I'm positive you'll be able to beat me" I said. "It's only because you use sorcery if it was a normal combat fight I'd win" Inuyasha said proudly "Yeah I know" I replied we kept walking "Are we close yet?" Shippo asked I smelt a familiar smell "Closer than you think" I said I looked to my left and saw a cave not that far off and ran to it "Hey where are you going the village is this way" Inuyasha says "Just give me a moment…" I yelled back "Hey Yuzuki!" Sango yelled "Yuzuki wait up!" Ginta shouted as they chased after me.
I reached the cave and peered inside, it was light enough to see where you were going, I found a huge hay bed and some old ratted and torn fur blankets were left on the bed, I knelt down picking them up and bringing them to my nose hoping I could find a scent, but there was only my mother's and mine, I sighed as I put them back down "Yuzuki?" Hakkaku called. I came back out "Sorry about that… We should get to the village" I said and walked in the direction of the village "Hey Yuzuki was that the cave you were born in?" Shippo asked I smiled "You're pretty perspective for a kid huh?" I ask "Of course" Shippo smiled "Yeah that was where I was born" I said as we continued to walk to the village. As the village came into view there was no bodies or huts damaged it was like nothing ever happened the villagers were alive and well but that means he had set me up, I shouldn't be here "We have to leave" I said "What? The least we can do is ask around for what happened? Since you showed us the wrong village" Inuyasha said I grabbed Inuyasha kimono "Dam it listen to me! It's a set up, he knows my abilities, that village we saw, the one I showed you it is this village… Naraku set this up and if these villagers find me here I'll be executed on sight!" I yelled at him. "A set up that sounds like Naraku…" Sango said "Yes but how would taint a power like Yuzuki's?" Miroku asked "We'll find out later for now we have to get out of here" I replied "What are you scared of death now" Inuyasha said as he flung me off him "I'm not scared of dying idiot! This is a matter of keeping my promise, I vowed not to return here, and since the village is unharmed I will be breaking a promise, this is about honour Inuyasha" I growled. Suddenly a bell started to ring, the last time I heard the ringing of that bell it was for them killing my mother and coming after me "Get away from here… This is my battle and I won't let anyone get hurt because of me" I said as I saw them running around in anger and fear. "The hanyo wolf is back!" "She's here for revenge!" "Let's kill her!" shouting from the villagers rang through my ears as I closed my eyes and accepted my fate "Yuzuki I know us wolf demons stick to our promises but you came back to see if they were ok, to avenge them but since they're ok you really haven't broken any promise so it's ok for us to leave… Together" Koga said.
I looked at him then back at the village "Ok let's go then" I said and we all took off running as fast as we could, we suddenly came to the lake and I skidded to a stop and formed a bridge across "This is the quickest way, run across I'll go last" I said "What?" Koga exclaimed "If I don't go last the bridge won't hold you, now go!" I yelled, they all started to cross and I ran behind them. As I ran I heard the villagers catch up and heard the raging voices yelling out I turned around only to find any arrow heading my way and struck me through the back, I grunted and kept running as I pulled the arrow out and dropped it into the water. When we got across the bridge was gone and I puffed out of breath "Yuzuki did you hurt your leg again I can smell your blood" Inuyasha barked "No, I'm fine, an arrow scraped past me that's all nothing to be concerned about it will heal" I said and continued to walk ignoring the pain. "Yuzuki let me treat you please your back is soaked in blood" Kagome pleaded for the thousandth time "I already told you I'm perfectly fine" I said, the pain had gone but unfortunately the bleeding hadn't. I stopped and saw the ocean not far off "Yuzuki? What's a matter? Are you ok?" Sango asks, the guys were holding their tongues because they knew I wouldn't give in to getting my wound treated but Kagome and Sango however were clinging to me "No, I'll meet up with you later I have to see someone" I said. I headed towards the ocean "What?! Hey you crazy stupid hanyo if you go by yourself you could end up dying or getting snatched by that stray wolf again!" Inuyasha yelled "Fine then Kagome and Sango can come with me" I replied "What about us guys huh?" Inuyasha grumbled "If you come the ones I will be talking to will surely lead you to your deaths its better you stay here" I said. "Lead us to our deaths?" Ginta repeats "Yuzuki am I correct to believe the ones you will talk to are none other than the beautifully alluring sirens?" Miroku asks "Yes and that's a reason you guys are staying here the sirens are dangerous, only a female can talk to a siren since she will not be lured in by her sweet talk and nonsense" I replied. "Maybe we could stand at a reasonable distance?" Miroku said "Miroku you pervert just stay here" Sango said "Inuyasha watch Miroku" Kagome said as the three of us and Kirara walked off, we had walked for a while before reaching the beach "Hey guys just keep on alert they tend to try and trick you" I said as we got close I saw siren no a merman in the shallow waves, this just got worse "Hey guys can you go out on the ledge up on the cliff side and stay out of sight but keep an eye out for me and whatever you do don't yell out" I say "Uh sure" Sango says they head off on Kirara while I walk over to the merman he turns and looks at me.
His medium-short length golden wet hair shone off the light of the sunset and as his green eyes sparkled, don't fall for him "Wow your beautiful for a demon… It's the first time I've ever seen a demon here before, what are you?" he asked. "I'm a hanyo wolf, what's your name? And why do you sit out here alone?" I ask "A hanyo wolf, how interesting… How rude of me I'm Kie I come out here to watch the sunset all the time, why are you out here?" the merman replied "I'm here to speak to some sirens" I replied. "Sirens huh? Well I'm afraid us mermen and mermaids own these waters now, they have moved" Kie replied "Where?" I ask "Probably on the other side of the region, we switch every few generations" Kie said "Thanks I'll be taking my leave now" I said and turned around to leave. "Wait! I didn't catch your name" Kie said "It's Yuzuki" I replied "Yuzuki, that's beautiful will you come back?" Kie asked why does he ask such things, what's he up to? "It depends I'm a very busy person" I reply "Then please may I ask of you to stay here just for a little while, I want to know what being on land is like" Kie requested. I knew I shouldn't but as I turned around to look at him, his eyes met mine, Kie then began to chant and I was at a loss, dam it, my feet began to move own their own I came closer and closer to him but when I was only a step away from him he grabbed my hands and held me close. He launched off the beach and into the ocean with me as soon as the water hit me I came to my senses I snapped to my senses and pushed him away I burst out of the water gasping for air "Yuzuki!" I heard voices and turned and saw them on the beach "Stay away from the water!" I yelled "But Yuzuki!" Kagome yelled "Go to the others but don't you dare enter the water!" I yelled then felt hands around my ankles and was dragged under I could only hope that they would do what I asked. I struggled under the grip of the merman holding my breath as I fought against him with all my strength I was being dragged further under water, I don't know how long I was under water but it wouldn't be long before I ran out of air I could see the darkness from the deep sea getting closer.
I scratched my claws against his tail as It flicked close to me then burst a shock wave at him, which launched him away from me and shot up towards the surface, I flicked my hair back as I emerged from the water, I gasped for air "Yuzuki!" I heard voices from the beach and twirled myself around in the water to look at them. Everyone was on the beach watching in concern "Stay back! Don't step anywhere near the water!" I shouted, I looked down in the water below me seeing if he was near, I couldn't see him "Yuzuki is he still there?!" Sango yelled "I don't know, I can't…" I said but was cut off being dragged under the water, the merman had turned he grew fangs and his eyes turned blood red, and now had finger nails like claws. He was dragging me down in further down and at a faster rate than before then let go I tried to swim back up but before I could his claws sliced my side and he pulled me too him and bit into my neck leaving me to scream in pain I shut my mouth realising I was wasting my breath and blasted him away again I resurfaced again with a scream. I started to pant heavily "Yuzuki!" I could hear the others yell out to me, but If I lose my concentration for a second I'm dead. I grew angry of his games "Dam it show yourself!" I growled suddenly the merman jumped out of the ocean and headed for me, I boosted myself out from the water to match him "Fangs of Vengeance!" I yelled as I twirled around and flung my water fangs that turned red as blood towards him. As it him, he flung back into the ocean as I dropped back into the ocean as well, I turned my gaze back to shore and swam as fast as I could there I crawled on my way onto the sand my closed my eyes and my body collapsed, drained out of exhaustion and blood loss "Yuzuki!" I heard voices yell as I got carried far away from the water's edge.
"Yuzuki!" hearing voices brought me to open my heavy eye lids "Urgh… Sorry I guess I never thought of a merman being here, especially one as good as Kie" I said "Huh? What do you mean by that?" Inuyasha asked "I believe Yuzuki meant she thought she'd be able to with stand being seduced by a merman" Miroku said. "Of course, Miroku would know that but being the womaniser he is, he would probably be the one that needs saving" Sango muttered "Sango I'm hurt by your tone, I am a monk of status" Miroku said I laughed "You? Really…" I chuckled "Looks like you're still able to take a joke, let's go" Inuyasha barked. "Hey Yuzuki's injured we can't just…." Hakkaku said I grabbed his hand "Hakkaku, I think Inuyasha means we should get away from here to somewhere safe" I said, Hakkaku blushed slightly and nodded Koga scoped me up in his arms "Hey Koga what are you doing?" Hakkaku said "Yeah" Ginta said in agreement "Carrying her, if it was left to you two you would be fighting over her as usual and right now we don't have time for that" Koga replied. I felt my face go red "Fighting over me?" I ask "We just care about you Yuzuki" Ginta said "Yeah we'd hate it if anything happened to you" Hakkaku said "Bah just say you both love her already" Inuyasha grumbled. "Inuyasha sit!" Kagome yelled "What was that for?" Inuyasha muttered "You ruined it, there's a time and place to say when a person loves someone and you ruined it!" Kagome shouts at him, my face grows hotter "Kagome's right Inuyasha you killed the moment" Sango says and the girls walk out in front.
"Are you really that shocked?" Koga smirked "Huh? Of course in case you hadn't noticed I have been by self ever since I was little, you, Ginta and Hakkaku are the first friends I've had" I said as I looked at the two in front "Kirara!" I yelled she came to me and turned big. "What's wrong? Don't like me carrying you?" Koga asked I frowned at him "What's the matter is you love Kagome, so why should carry me around when Kirara is here, that should have been your first choice to leave me with Kirara and instead you carry me" I replied Koga looked shocked then he frowned "Fine… There happy now" he said as he placed me on Kirara. Kirara took off to catch up with Sango and Kagome, I held on to Kirara as she leaped off, I wonder what's wrong with Koga he seems off, maybe I am too harsh on him, I now know that Ginta and Hakkaku care for me very much, isn't it better if Koga doesn't put himself in the middle, it wouldn't be good getting them jealous. "Hey Yuzuki are you listening?" Kagome said "Huh? Oh sorry what was that you were saying" I replied embarrassed "We were talking about Ginta and Hakkaku and saying that you shouldn't worry over Ginta and Hakkaku, even though they fight over you their still friends, though I wonder why Koga's acting weird about it?" Kagome said. "So it wasn't just me that noticed that, about Koga's behaviour?" I asked "Of course, well he hasn't been that clingy to me since the last few days with you around" Kagome replied "Maybe Koga's starting to like you too" Sango said "Ah… No he loves you, Kagome, we already said that we're just friends" I replied.
I hope you enjoyed that chapter, the vote still stands with Ginta though there's still heaps of time before Yuzuki does get paired (Who could Yuzuki's pair be Ginta? Hakkaku? or Koga?). If anyone wants to request something to happen or has any ideas for the story please leave a comment or you can private message me letting me know your thoughts/ideas, thanks for everyone who has been reading and commenting.
