Finding the Light
Chapter 3: A New Enemy or Friend?
A week had passed since Shin had arrived in the Feudal Era of Japan. No one still knows how she got there or why she was brought, but her new friends were helping her with anything and….Everything. In the middle of their 6th day of traveling everyone decided it was a good idea to have a rest, so they found a shady tree in a nearby field and made some lunch. Miroku was teaching Shin about ancient sutras of a monk when suddenly her ears started to twitch back and forth. "Someone's coming out of the forest…over there…." She said pointing to a small shrine next to the forest. She was right, someone was coming. It was a tall man with long silver hair like Inuyasha, wearing a white kimono with red flowers scattered, heavy looking armor, with the markings or a crescent moon and two lines of purple on each side of his face. When she looked closer she noticed long flowing dog fur ,like a scarf, on his right shoulder.
"SESSHOMARU!!!" Inuyasha drew his great blade from his normal sized sheath next to him. "YOU'RE NOT GETTING TETSUSAIGA!!!" Yelled Inuyasha thrusting his sword at him.
"Tetsusaiga is his sword Shin and that man is Sesshomaru, Inuyasha's full demon half- brother." Said Kagome. Everyone watched as the two brothers began fighting on another. As Shin watched with amazement something very strange came back to her in her mind….a distant memory.
Shin was sitting in the middle of a field as a 5 year old holding a cut open and bleeding knee. A teenage boy walked up to her that looked exactly like Sesshomaru and it was him. He kneeled down in front of her and pulled out a small shell full of a special liquid made from herbs for cuts. He cleaned off the blood with his sleeve, put the ointment on her knee, and then he ripped the bloody part of his sleeve off and wrapped it around her knee. Shin wiped her tears away from her tear, but more just came from her crying. Sesshomaru picked her up and carried her back to a castle buried deep in the forest. In the grass in front of the castle a young Inuyasha was playing with a tall man with long silver hair pulled back into a ponytail on top of his head. He had the same side markings as Sesshomaru, but no moon on his forehead. Sesshomaru handed the young girl to him and he smiled down at her with a big smile…."
As Shin awoke from her daydream the two brothers were still fighting. As her eyes opened she said just one word "Inu….Tai…sho…" then she looked forward at the battle. Both brothers just stopped and looked at her with wide eyes completely shocked.
"Huh? What…did I say something?" asked Shin looking around at everyone staring at her completely confused.
