Hey everyone I know the chapter 5 wasn't the best, I haven't had long to work on these but I've been trying to come up with a plot that will keep you interested, so if you have ideas/thoughts or opinions fire them my way as a review/comment or a private message. I hope you enjoy and just another disclaimer I don't own any of the Inuyasha characters or original Inuyasha plots I do however own Yukuzi the hanyo wolf, Ryuu the water dragon, Raven a wolf demon and the newest characters coming up Michiko and Satoru (brother and sister 'wolf demons').
Chapter 6: Girl time and a jewel shard?
Kagome giggled "Yuzuki that's how it first was with Ginta and Hakkaku as well" Kagome said "Can we change the subject, I'm already overwhelmed about finding out that two friends actually like me in that way" I said "Why can't you just say love! You say it for everyone else's sake but your own!" Kagome shouted at me, my eyes widen in shock. "Kagome…" Sango said as she tapped her on the shoulder "Oh sorry Yuzuki but you know you should take care of yourself first sometime" Kagome said "Well that was scary…" I mumbled "Mhmm… I didn't think Kagome would be so interested in your love affair" Sango said "Again changing subject of love" I said. "That's it, I've got an idea, you guys keep walking I'm going to talk to those guys for you" Kagome said as she turned around and walked back to the guys, I sighed and hung my head "Let's find a camp so I can get some sleep, I need it…" I said, Kirara growled "Yeah" Sango said, Kirara found a safe place for camp, while Kagome and the guys were talking dawdling behind us. Sango helped me off Kirara and sat up against a tree "I'm going to sleep will you be ok till they catch up?" I ask "Sure, I'll have a look at your wounds till they get here" Sango says "Thanks I appreciate it" I said "No problem" Sango says as my eyes close and I drift to light sleep. "What happened?" Kagome's voice "Is she ok?" Ginta's voice "Keep it down, she's just sleeping, she's exhausted from that fight with the merman" Sango's voice "So Koga have you made a decision yet?" Inuyasha's voice. "Inuyasha" Kagome's voice "Geez relax Kagome she's asleep as if she could hear us… Besides the answer involves you as well, so who do you choose" Inuyasha's voice "Shut up… I don't have to answer to you, and when I do answer it'll be to Kagome and Yuzuki" Koga's voice.
I suddenly felt a stabbing pain in my neck where the bite mark was "Ouch!" I yelped and snapped my eyes open as I flinched away "Yuzuki sorry it's an ointment from my world it'll help but it'll sting" Kagome said "No kidding… Can you at least tell me before you stick something like that on me" I say "But you were asleep…" Kagome replied "You try having that put on you when your asleep I grantee you that you'll wake up" I said. "Ok, ok but I still need to treat your wound so stay still please" Kagome said "I will" I replied, I tilted my head to the side a bit showing the bite mark Ginta and Hakkaku gasped "The merman did that to you?" Ginta asked "Yeah but its fine he won't be bothering any one again" I replied, Kagome dropped the liquid from the ointment bottle into me bite mark I scrunched my face up in pain, closing my eyes tight and clamping my teeth tight together. Kagome put a bandage around my neck, I reverted my face back to normal as I opened my eyes "Your necks done, your other injuries are minor in comparison so it won't hurt much when I treat them ok?" Kagome said "Yeah ok" I replied as I leaned my head back against the tree and closed my eyes. "So…" Inuyasha's voice "Don't say a word…" Koga's voice "I wonder what business Yuzuki had with sirens?" Miroku's voice "Well Yuzuki never told us her reason but seeing the sirens weren't there she spoke with the merman and was going to leave but turned back and walked over to him, and that's when he dragged her into the water it happened so fast" Sango's voice. "Makes me wonder if Yuzuki was confronting the sirens to talk about Naraku or maybe even to know something about her past" Miroku's voice "You think that she'd risk her life for something that happened in the past" Inuyasha's voice. "I don't know tell us Inuyasha, since you are a hanyo like Yuzuki with a similar background history" Miroku's voice "I don't know and we aren't that similar so drop that, being a hanyo is the only similarity that we have" Inuyasha's voice listening to them talk about me again I fall into a deep sleep as Kagome dresses my wounds.
I woke up to smell food I opened my eyes to everyone having something to eat "You're awake… Nice of you to join us" Inuyasha said "Shut up… Where are Kagome and Sango?" I said "There washing up at the river" Miroku replied I glared at him "I wasn't spying" Miroku said defensively. I stood up "Yuzuki where are you going?" Ginta asked I turned back to them slightly "I'm going to wash up" I replied and turned around and walked away to find where Kagome and Sango were to wash up as well. I got to river to see Kagome and Sango washing up "Hey Kagome, Sango" I called out to them as I continued to walk over to them "Yuzuki, how are you?" Sango asked "I'm ok" I replied. "Yuzuki you shouldn't be walking around you were injured badly, I don't think you'll be healed fully yet" Kagome said "I'm fine Kagome" I replied when I was at the river bank I started to undress, and then I hoped into the cool water. "Hey guys I think I might have to go back home for a couple days, I haven't seen my family in ages" Kagome said "That's ok Kagome, Kirara can take you back to the well" Sango replied "So what should we do while you're gone?" I asked. "Well, Kirara, Shippo, Miroku, Inuyasha and I usually just spend time around the nearby village with Kaede, there's usually not much we can do without Kagome, since Kagome's the only one who can sense jewel shards" Sango replied "Well I'm not the only one see there's Kikyo another priestess, I'm her reincarnation" Kagome said. I had puzzled look on my face, if Kagome's reincarnation of Kikyo then shouldn't that mean Kikyo is dead "Yuzuki I know it's a bit confusing but Kikyo died fifty years ago and a woman revived Kikyo and now she is able to roam the lands again but the only way she can stay alive is by living off the souls of woman who have died" Kagome explained the puzzled look left my face I was now shocked.
"Though since Kikyo was Inuyasha's lover long ago, Inuyasha still has feelings for her and whenever she's near Inuyasha takes off to see her" Kagome said sadly "What jerk… He loves her still and he loves you but keeps going back and forth all the time that's not right" I said angrily. Kagome places her hand on shoulder "It's ok Yuzuki really… I know I shouldn't be used to it but I am, I know not saying anything or doing anything about it may be wrong but I'm thinking about Inuyasha's feelings, you understand right?" Kagome says I just gave a slight nod in response. We soaked in the cool water for a bit longer "Do you think we should go back now?" Sango asked I smiled "Yeah let's go their probably wondering what's taking us all so long" I replied, we got out and dried ourselves and got dressed, I decided to leave my hair out instead of putting it in my normal hair style "Hey Yuzuki couldn't you just you know click your fingers and we'd be dry" Kagome said. I smiled "Maybe I could but then we'd be getting lazy I can't use water magic all the time it's my rule you know, there's always a limit to a person's power" I replied Kagome nodded "Yeah but it would be nice not wasting hours on getting your hair dried" Kagome said Sango and I laughed "What?" Kagome questioned "We can't all be in your world where you have all these things to speed things up for you" Sango replied. Kagome smiled "Guess not everyone is used to being lazy as I am" Kagome said "Oh that reminds me these bandages can come off now right?" I asked "Yeah sure, let me take them off for you" Kagome said and took off all the bandages just about all of them had healed but there was still the bite mark scar on my neck.
"I'll bring back more medical supplies from my world" Kagome says as she wraps the bandages up and puts them in her bag, I sighed "Guys do you think Iunyasha's right?" I ask "About what Yuzuki?" Sango says "Well about me being clumsy, it seems since I've been traveling with Ginta, Hakkaku and Koga and now with you guys, I keep getting hurt and slow you guys down, I'm a bother maybe I should…" I said. I was cut off "Don't you dare think that way! As long as your safe and well that's what we care about" Kagome yelled "Yes Kagome's right, don't listen to Inuyasha, you're not clumsy you just don't have a physical strength" Sango said. I hung my head Physical strength huh? Well I don't have a weapon "Sango is it possible to get a weapon? Maybe a katana and if I got one would you teach me?" I asked "Huh? Uh well I could take you to my village and get one for you, I would be happy to teach you but it will take a while if we are all going together there" Sango replied. "Well how about just you, Kirara and I go and we can return when it's time for Kagome to get back" I said "Sounds good and if you need more time when I get back we could always meet you guys at your village Sango" Kagome said. "Ok but it won't be easy training" Sango said I laughed "I think I can handle it, I have a great teacher after all" I said smiling and we all started walking back to camp "I don't think we should tell the guys what we're doing, I'll just say I'm going with you to check on your village" I said "Oh like a surprise for the next time you fight?" Kagome says excitedly I nodded "Yeah exactly" I replied. "I like the idea" Kagome says "Yeah but what if Koga, Ginta and Hakkaku decided to follow you know their very protective of you, Yuzuki" Sango said I sighed "Yeah well we'll sort something out if it comes to that" I replied as we walking towards the camp.
"Hey Yuzuki you look good with your hair down" Kagome says "I do?" I questioned Kagome smiles and nods "Yep, you look different but a good different" Kagome replies "I agree" Sango adds I smile "Thanks guys" I said. We finally reached the camp and heard the guys talking about Naraku "Hey Inuyasha I have to go home" Kagome said "Yes and in her absence Kirara, Yuzuki and I will be going to my old village" Sango added "Oh so you guys have your own little plan without talking to us what if we planned something already?" Inuyasha barked. I sighed heavily here he goes again "Put it this way Inuyasha it means you would be able to work on your skills for your sword, so you can actually come close to hitting me" I said Inuyasha looked at me "Hah will see when you get back we'll have a real fight and I'll win" Inuyasha says puffing his chest out and starts packing up. I shook my head smiling, it's so simple to change his mind "Yuzuki how'd you get him to see things our way?" Kagome whispered "I'll teach you when you get back" I whispered back, Miroku, Sango and Kagome packed up their stuff while Koga, Ginta, Hakkaku and I waited for them. Feeling the wind flow freely through my hair was nice I could see why Kagome and Sango leave their hair out "Yuzuki, I think we should accompany you and Sango" Koga says "I'll be fine Koga, you shouldn't worry so much Sango and I want to accompany Kagome to the well first and then we'll head off but I promise I'll come back safe and well" I replied. "What if Raven attacks again or worse Naraku?" Hakkaku says worried I looked at all three of them and smiled "Trust me I'll be fine, I promised I'd be back safe and well, and I never break my promises" I said "Yuzuki lets go come on!" Kagome yelled as she took my hand as she ran past me my eyes widen as I was pulled along into a run.
Everyone followed "What's wrong Kagome?" I asked while running "It's a jewel shard" Kagome replied, we all followed Kagome, since I had been using my power lately it had been draining my physical strength and I struggling to keep up but was hiding the fact that I was exhausted. We got near another river but it felt different something was being carried away in it "Kagome just a guess but is the jewel shard coming from that river?" I asked "Yes, how'd you know?" Kagome asked. "Someone's in there and their not conscious…" I said and ran towards the river "Wait! Yuzuki!" Kagome yelled but I had jumped into the river and dove beneath the surface I closed my eyes focusing on the person. It was a young woman a bit younger than Kagome and she was a wolf demon I sensed her flowing through the river behind me, I turned around swimming with the current, I could see her, her hair black as night there was no blood which would mean she would have been drowned but who would do such a thing, I reached out and grabbed her hand pulling her towards me. I surfaced still holding her close to me "Guys! Over here quick!" I yelled seeing had swam further downstream than expected, they ran towards us as I made my way out of the water with the girl, I pulled further away from the water on to the bank. The female wolf demon wore a light grey fur pelt, leggings, shoulder pads and fur attached to the top of her full chest armour the went around the bottom of her neck, full metal chest armour (top-purple, bottom-black) "Kagome can you do something?" I asked Kagome felt her pulse and looked at me. "Yuzuki it's too late she's dead" Kagome said I shook my head no she can't be "We should burry her" Miroku says "Over my dead body monk… She's not dead yet I won't accept this" I said Naraku did this somehow I just know it. I grasped her hands in mine there's water in her lungs if I can just get her to cough it up she has a chance. I prayed that this would work as I started to summon the water from her lungs out the girl started coughing up water then gasping for air as her heart started beating again, thank goodness it worked "Yuzuki that was amazing you brought her back to life" Miroku said I shook my head "No I just made her cough up water, her will to live is why she's still her" I replied.
The girl looked back at me her eyes were a light blue like the sky "You saved me?" she asked "Yes she did" Kagome replied on my behalf "Kagome I…" before I could explain it I was engulfed in a hug "Thank you soo much, how can I ever repay you?" she asks. "I don't want you to repay me, seeing you alive and well is good enough for me" I replied with a smile she gasped "Wait your name was Yuzuki right?" she asked "Yes that's right" I replied "Oh this is fantastic, my father is the leader of the Southern tribes and my mother the leader of the Western tribes, my brother and I are meant to take over being the new leaders soon but right now the clans are in trouble a water dragon came delivering a message to us about you saying that all the clans are in trouble…" she said. "Yes I know I sent him, Ryuu is my comrade, look I'm keeping track of this situation and that of the half-demon spider Naraku so there's no need to worry" I replied she stared at me in awe. "You know my brother always talks about you, I swear he's in love with and now I can see why you're not only beautiful on the outside but on the inside too, I'll tell my family of what you've done today and of our conversation, I'm Michiko by the way and my brother's name is Satoru if you're interested" she said with a wink and ran off "Oh and Yuzuki thanks a lot if you ever need anything the Southern and Western tribes will be right there to help" Michiko yelled back then disappeared into the forest. "Well she was determined to set you up" Miroku said I stood up "Kagome did she have the jewel shard?" I asked "Well it definitely felt like it was in the river but when she was out of the river it was like it disappeared" Kagome replied "Naraku's up to something again… Let's just get you home Kagome" I said. Kagome nodded and led the way to the well with Shippo on her shoulder, Sango walked by her side with Kirara in her arms, Inuyasha and Miroku walked behind them, I however didn't want to walk at a fast speed, I walked slowly behind and Ginta, Hakkaku and Koga walked by me at my speed.
"Yuzuki you're looking a little pale are you ok?" Hakkaku asked "It was what you did for the girl, Michiko right? You brought her back and now you're suffering for it" Koga said, I sighed "You're right, using my water sorcery for things like what I did before takes it's toll on me but I can't let them die if I can save them I will even if it means my death I have said that once before" I replied. Ginta grabbed my hand "Let me carry you, I don't want you to push yourself too much… Please" Ginta said very concerned "Ginta has a point, we don't want you collapsing on us mid-way to the well, plus the last few days for you haven't been good" Hakkaku says. I nod "Ok Ginta" I said with a slight smile and he picked me up carefully bridal style, I put my arm around his neck, it felt different I had been carried by Koga a few times before and by Hakkaku once "We should catch up" Koga said and they ran to catch up with everyone else Ginta ran carefully with me in his arms and held me tight against him. Once we had caught up Inuyasha gave me a look and had opened his mouth to say something smug no doubt "Don't say a word Inuyasha" Ginta said defensively I looked up at him to see him staring daggers at Inuyasha, Ginta and Hakkaku had two sides.
Lately whenever anything involves me they get protective and stand up, if it's for me they would do anything and I hated the thought of them throwing their life away for me. I looked back at Inuyasha and glared at him "Inuyasha instead of staring maybe you should focus on where you're going" I said Inuyasha puffed and turned around to walk straight into a low branch, I laughed "I told ya" I said Inuyasha rubbed his nose as he looked back at me "Shut up" Inuyasha growled and kept walking. I smiled and shook my head "He never learns…" I said softly "Yuzuki if you want to sleep you can, you do need your rest" Ginta said I smiled "Thank you Ginta, not just for this but for everything" I said with a smile as his eyes met mine. Ginta blushed slightly, he cleared his throat and looked away for a second "It's ok, and ah with what Inuyasha said the other night it's true I'll admit that I do love you, and I don't want anything to happen to you and I just want you to know that no matter who you choose, I will be honoured just to be your friend" Ginta said as he gazed into my eyes. I blushed "Thank you Ginta for telling me" I replied Ginta averted his eyes looking straight ahead "Well it was Inuyasha who said it first" Ginta said I leant my head on his shoulder and put my other hand on his other shoulder "Still it means a lot to me to hear you say it, thank you" I said as I closed my eyes with a smile still on my face and fell into a light sleep.
Ok sorry if it was a bit of a bore, but it gets better I can assure you the training sessions begin and the panther demons start to put their plan into action, yay action senses :) anyways I hope you enjoyed let me know if it needs anything or you want me to add something, send all your thoughts/opinions my way and I'll do my best to get them done for ya. Thanks for reading guys and the question still stands who is going to be Yuzuki's mate? Will it be Ginta? Hakkaku? or Koga?
