Hey guys back again I've had a little more free time to whip up a couple more chapters for my stories anyways just a disclaimer I do not own any of the Inuyasha characters or plots just my own twists and characters, my OC's are; Yuzuki (main character, half-wolf demon/water sorceress), Raven (wolf demon 'bad guy'), Ryuu (water dragon), Kamiko (fire/earth dragon, Ryuu's mate), Taro and Kenji (Ryuu and Kamiko's children), Hayami (Yuzuki's mother), Tsuyoshi (Tiger demon/elemental sorcerer, Yuzuki's teacher), Narumi (Tiger demon, Tsuyoshi's mate), Kazuhiko (leader of the southern tribe, Sayuri's mate), Sayuri (leader of the western tribe, Kazuhiko's mate), Michiko and Satoru (wolf demons, children of Kazuhiko and Sayuri), Zurui (mixed-breed, fire sorcerer 'bad guy') Kiriko (Naraku's new incarnation) and a new character Yukiko (Snow/Ice sorcerer) she was brought in earlier but in this chapter you find out her name. Enjoy
Chapter 21: Curiosity
I frowned and shook my thoughts off "I hate to disappoint you but you're not getting my elemental power" I said Kiriko laughed "Who said you have a choice" Kiriko said with a smirk appearing on her face "I didn't come back from the dead to have my powers stripped from me, you will die along with Naraku" I snapped. "Enough talk half breed I don't care of your story I will be taking your elemental power" Kiriko hissed as she created fire in her hands, I created water in mine "I killed the leader of the fire demons so I can kill you" I said she smiled and shook her head in amusement I frowned. "I find nothing amusing about that" I said "You compare me to a fire demon but I have three elemental powers and I am snake demon not a mere fire demon that only relies on a blunt sword and fire" Kiriko puffed as she formed a fire ball and picked up pieces of rock from the ground. She twirled them around in a whirl wind I frowned "Yuzuki…" Kagome said in worry, then the air got cold and snow fell from the sky I looked over to see the snow/ice sorcerer that we saw a couple days ago.
"Must be my lucky day…" Kiriko said and created another whirl wind she sent one whirl with rocks and fire my way and another towards the snow/ice sorcerer "Combine powers!" the snow/ice sorcerer called the sorcerer is a woman and sounds around my age. I knitted my brows together and sent out a barrier like wave as I did the snow/ice sorcerer sent what looked like a snowstorm around the whirl wind, the whirl winds disappeared I looked back to Kiriko "Leave worm you're not worth our time" the snow/ice sorcerer growled. Leave? Is she crazy? Kagura can be reasoned with but Kiriko she's totally different just then a strong wind blew our way sending a black mist with it and the smell of Naraku's scent, it surrounded us we couldn't see anything and just had to use our senses. I sent water out and formed a barrier around myself and the whole gang Kagome came over to me "Yuzuki what about the other sorcerer out there? Think she'll be ok?" Kagome asked "I assume so since she's a sorcerer but going out in that is asking for a death sentence" I said.
The mist started to leave and when it did Kiriko was gone but the snow/ice sorcerer was on the ground, I brought down the barrier and ran over to her "Hey are you ok?" I asked I got no replied just as a I placed my hand on her shoulder she lashed out and swung her hand out at me. I fell back she had cut me across my left cheek "Yuzuki!" Koga shouted I looked into her eyes they were like doll eyes, as if she wasn't aware of what she was doing she growled at me as she stood up "Stop please we worked together earlier surely were on the same side against Naraku" I said. She extended her claws out and created snow in her hands I frowned and stood up and quickly held a wall barrier of water up as she shot a blizzard of snow and ice shards my way "Stop! You're not thinking right! Naraku did something to you!" I shouted. I pushed the wave at her sending her back, Kagome just at that time had sent an arrow towards her and it struck her in the left shoulder I ran over to the sorcerer as did Kagome, I knelt down near her "Hold her down for a moment" Kagome said I restrained her arms.
As I did so Kagome had her hands around the arrow and started praying suddenly the arrow glowed pink but started turning black, it looked like I was right that she wasn't aware of what she was doing the sorcerer groaned as the arrow was fully black. Kagome pulled out the arrow and stood up "I think she should be ok" Kagome said just then I felt a presence of elemental forces coming our way it was strange the wind was strong. The ground had cracks run through it and black storm clouds appeared as thunder echoed out and lightning struck down, the air grew humid I looked over to see four people walked over towards us very peacefully with an intimidating air. I got up "Kagome stay behind me" I said as I grabbed the snow/ice sorcerer up and had one of her arms around me as I held her up Kagome came to the other side of her "I'm helping I won't stand by and do nothing" Kagome said.
"Yuzuki, water sorcerer daughter of Hayami give us our friend back" a man said who looked to be an earth elemental "How can we trust you?" I asked "More importantly how do you know Yuzuki?" Kagome asked. "We all have what is called elemental blood, Yukiko has that blood as do you" the same man replied "And that proves anything how?" Koga growled as he came over trying to hide his limp "We learn to work with others despite our differences though you should really be talking to Tsuyoshi" the same man said. I sighed as I looked away slightly "He keeps things secret for a reason, please hand over Yukiko and we'll be on our way" he said again I looked to Kagome and gave a nod we walked Yukiko over to them and the earth elemental picked her up carrying her carefully. "We'll meet again for now rest you'll need your strength for what's coming" the elemental man said and then turned his back on us and started walking away with the three other sorcerers "Hey wait, what's coming?" I asked.
"A war" he replied back as they continued to walk off "Yuzuki your arm" Kagome said "Huh?" I puffed and looked at my right arm the had got burnt in the fight with the fire demon leader "I have to go back and help the fire demons I promised them" I said. "Ok but it won't change that you will need treating as will you Koga" Kagome said "Heal Yuzuki first please Kagome" Koga said "Your bleeding I just have a burn" I said "You're getting treated first end of discussion" Koga said. I sighed softly I wasn't going to argue with him we'd all had been through some much in this month "Let's get back to everyone" I said we walked over to everyone. "Yuzuki your arm? Are you ok?" Hakkaku asked "I'm ok it's just a minor burn" I said "And the cut on your face?" Ginta said "It's not bad" I replied we all sat down Kagome started treating me as Sango tending to Miroku.
"Does Sango fancy Miroku?" I asked in a hushed tone "I think she does but maybe conflicted besides he does have quite the lecherous behaviour when it comes to women" Kagome replied back softly I gave a nod remembering when he hit on me. Luckily that was over I sighed softly thinking about if my family were ok "Hey Yuzuki are you going back to Tsuyoshi?" Shippo asked "I'll have to, there's so much he hasn't told me" I replied "We'll come" Koga said. "Can I?" Shippo asked "We should be hunting Naraku" Inuyasha puffed "Yeah how? There is now a snake demon that controls three elements, a wind sorcerer, a child with a mirror and god knows what else he could possibly be conjuring up to come kill us" I snapped. He looked away I sighed as I realised why he was acting up "I won't see them until after Naraku is dead does that make you happy?" I asked Inuyasha looked at me "What are you talking about?" Inuyasha questioned "This is about my family I know it is" I said.
"Like I care see them whenever you want" Inuyasha puffed as he turned away and sat away from us all I frowned as I looked away "I'm sure he'll lighten up" Sango said "Hopefully…" I muttered Kagome had wrapped my right hand and just above my elbow in a bandage. She then treated the cut on my face "Hey Yuzuki think we could all live together in that area with your friends?" Shippo asked I looked at him as Kagome went to go treat Koga I sighed as frowned slightly. I had no idea what was going to happen in the future "Shippo It depends what happens with Naraku and the sacred jewel" I said "But it will work out, your all so strong we can beat him I just know it" Shippo said I smiled at how confidant he was he was so much braver now. Though I still had no idea what was to become of me I could become a leader but that should go to Satoru or Michiko not me I frowned as I sat in thought, I'd have to go home I belong in the Southern Tribe now but with my past will I be banished maybe I could redeem myself.
"Yuzuki are you ok?" Ginta asked "Hmm?" I exclaimed as I looked at him "You look like your stressing over something" Hakkaku said "Oh just lost in thought that's all" I said "Seems more than that, if it's what I think you shouldn't worry" Sango said. "It's easy for you to say Sango besides I'd rather not talk about" I said "Ok but you know it would help and nobody here will think any less of you" Sango said I exhaled heavily as I looked away slightly to the direction the fire demons were in. I saw a couple fire demons running over I got up as did Inuyasha "What do you pests want?" Inuyasha growled "Stop it Inuyasha" I said and looked at the two demons "Is everyone ok?" I asked. "There's a couple injured but nothing serious" one said "We actually came to thank you, we appreciate you killing the leader and letting us live us we'd like to offer our tribe at your service any time you need help" the other said "Yes is there anything you need help with now? Food? Fire-wood? Or shelter perhaps?" the first demon said.
I smiled "That's very kind of you, food, fire-wood and shelter would be good since its getting late and I don't think Miroku will be doing anything and Koga won't be doing a lot of walking" I said "Ok we'll go get some comrades and get what you need" the first demon replied again "We don't need their help" Inuyasha puffed. "Sit" Kagome said and Inuyasha plummeted into the ground "They're helping Inuyasha of their own accord their leader was the one making them attack and now there free" Sango said Inuyasha growled slightly as he picked himself up. About twenty minutes passed and some fire demons came by with two hot roasted boars, some tents to put up and fire-wood they built the fires for us and even put up the tents, I had no idea where they got them and I dreaded where they came from. "Thank you very much" Kagome said "Yes thank you" Sango said "No problem your all welcome here anytime now that the leader is dead we can live freely" one said "Goodbye come by any time" another said and with that they left leaving us all alone.
