Chapter Seven
"How could she be the target when Kagome was taken?" Shippo asked then it all dawned on them that this girl was Kagome and Sesshomaurs child they all looked at her.
"You are mine and Kagome's child are you not?" Sesshomaru asked.
Every one watched her as she sighed then replied to the question.
"Yes." Yumi said still not wanting to turn and look at the group.
Why is it that you are powerful enough to take me on and bring me down and yet you are unable to bring down Naraku?" Sesshomaru asked her probing her for answers he watched her reaction to the question.
"You were fighting pretty fierce with him when I left you so what happened." Sesshomaru continued.
"That's right she was fighting pretty good there for a while what did happen?" Shippo said.
"He got inside my head that's what he did, Inuyasha heard the words he spoke to me." She finally spoke up turning to the group tear of anger streaming down her face and her fist balled up tightly up every one turned to look at Inuyasha for the answer.
"He wants me... He tried to once before and failed..." She said to them the anger filling her heart her fists were glowing purple. "He will not have me!!" She screamed releasing the power from her hands with in the night sky.
Sango went over to her to try and console her. Inuyasha was angered at this and looked over at Sesshomaru and saw the anger he possessed and got up onto his feet.
"Where do you think you're going?" Inuyasha said watching start out of the camp.
"Like you need to ask that question Inuyasha I will Kill him." Sesshomaru said then started to walk out of the camp when Yumi grabbed his kimono.
"No..." She said to him and he turned to look down at her. "It's foolish to go off knowing how strong they are together" Sesshomaru looked at her face she knew something and it involved him.
"Very well..." He turned and sat down which was shocking to the others.
"Since when does Sesshomaru listen to any one?" Inuyasha said thinking out loud.
"Quiet Inuyasha and do not speak about things you do not know of or understand." Sesshomaru said abruptly.
"It's obvious she contains information and knows something that we do not I will trust her judgment." He finished.
"She is from the future, so..." Miroku said he stopped thinking about what was going to come out of his mouth.
"If you really want to know about what will happen even though I should not tell you I will." Yumi said to them
"I mean I tried to hide who I am from you but look how that got messed up." She spoke to them just as Kagome would have.
"Answer this question if you can. What is your purpose here and how did you get her?" Miroku asked.
"Well first off that would be two questions not one, I came here following Naraku not knowing his true intention he walked through a portal of some kind but my true purpose here is to try and change things." She said looking at the ground.
"Change how?" Inuyasha asked.
"Well fist off Kagome was never taken she gave birth to me and left me with Keade it was suppose to be the final battle between all of you and Naraku but well Naraku well obviously he won only Inuyasha came home and it wasn't long after that Naraku Killed him as well.
"So then who raised you?" Sango asked the girl who was barring her soul to them.
"Keade did her best but in the end she left me as well then a priestess came to the village on the day of her death her name was Kikyo she raised me taught me everything I know really as the years went by again so did she you wanted to know my age I'm really over 500 years old I was told that I had a special mission to full fill and that I would not age till it is full filled." She said with a sigh.
"And what would that be Yumi?" Shippo said just as a kid would do.
Yumi smiled then opened her eyes.
"It's my destiny to release my power upon the modern world and become it's ruler." She said with everyone staring at her last words she smiled at them.
"You know it's been weird never getting to meet my mother but then getting to see her grow up." She said closing her eyes at the memories she had.
"You mean to say that you are from Kagome's time?" Inuyasha said.
"Yes that's what I'm saying. " She said.
It was then a glass bottle caught her eye.
"What is that on the ground over there?" She asked pointing at bottle on the ground.
"Oh this.. it's Kagome's medicine." Inuyasha said picking it up.
"For what?" Yumi asked interested.
"You don't know?" Miroku asked her.
"No..." She said in response.
"Kagome needs this for..." Inuyasha stopped what he was saying both he and Sesshomaru realized what could happen.
"Naraku... he's not to smart is he..." Inuyasha said. "Kagome needs this to help keep you alive." Inuyasha stated
They looked at her she was becoming pale as she stood on her feet She looked at everyone then insisted that they should get as far as they could to Naraku before sunrise.
She could tell that there wasn't much time but said nothing.
"Are you sure about this you don't look so good." Inyuasha said to Yumi as they were all traveling.
"Yes, this way were getting close she said while riding up on Kirara with Sango. "There see.." She pointed into a valley it was Naraku's castle the one that was hidden from all for so long.
"Yumi!!" Sango yelled as she fell off Sesshomaru caught her he looked down at her form he was holding his daughter they had stopped she opened her eyes.
"How long till the sun comes up?" She asked closing her eyes again her breathing getting weaker.
"Now we know why she wanted to get here so quick." Inuyasha said walking up looking at her in Sesshomaru's arms.
"Her breathing is slowing down Inuyasha." Sesshomaru said to his brother. "What would it matter how long till the sun comes up." He said with worry.
"That's when she and I will get our demonic power back. If she can last that long she might be alright." Inuyasha said looking down at the castle below.
The sun started to rise and Yumi's breaths were coming fewer.
"Come on Yumi hang in there just a few more minutes." Inuyasha said to her with concern.
Yumi then took one last breath as the sun rose her heart stopped Sesshomaru hung his head and for the first time released a tear that hit Yumi on the cheek then out of no where she gasped for air Inuyasha had changed back by this time Yumi again screamed in pain as her demonic form returned and she grew to Sesshomaur's height. Sesshomaur let her down knowing she was alright now.
"Do not do that again." Sesshomaur scolded her.
"I'll try and remember that next time I'm near death." She said with a smile. "Let's go then shall we." Yumi said with such calmness in her voice much different than her human form. It was then Inuyasha looked down at her side and noticed for the first time she had tree swords at her side this was also noticed by Sesshomaru and the others why did they not noticed this before they all wondered, they then followed her down the hill into the valley.
Yumi stopped sensing a barrier. ("They will not be able to pass.") She thought to herself looking back over her shoulder.
"What is it?" Sesshoamru said knowing she knew something was wrong.
"We can go no further unless..." She stopped in what she was saying. "Unless we telleport through this barrier."
She said touching it. "I can not bring it down but I can telleport us in using my mind." She spoke up.
They all gathered around her Yumi closed her eyes and they all watched her with interest. The crescent moon began to glow bright with a silver light illuminating and almost blinding it encircled then taking them deep into Naraku's castle they found themselves in a hall way.
"Kagome is behind this door" She said putting her hand on the door sure enough Kagome was there lying on a bed Inuyasha quickly injected her with the medication. Sesshomaru picked her up then turned to the group.
"We will not fight here it's too dangerous we need to get Kagome out of here then worry about Naraku." Yumi said to them. They again gathered to Yumi and once again the light took them out of the castle and out into the open.
"Kirara, Shippo can you two get Kagome back to Keade safely?" Yumi asked them and they nodded.
Everyone watched as Kirara flew off with Shippo and Kagome on her back.
"Now we finish this." Yumi said turning back to the castle knowing that she would have to not only worry about herself but everyone here for non of them returned form this battle but Inuyasha but did she have enough power to do it?
"Naraku!! Come out!!" She yelled calling him out.
"Ah Yumi you decided to come after all." Naraku spoke both emerging form the castle calling forth his minions.
"Not this time Naraku no help from them." She waved her hand blocking their path. " This time it's just us against you." She spoke to him. "You know Naraku you are pretty stupid taking Kagome like that by doing so you almost killed me she required medicine to keep me alive." Yumi spouted off at him.
Naraku seemed angered at this news.
"Don't worry Kagome is safe and way form you." Inuyasha spoke up ready for the fight to begin.
Naraku made the first move drawing out his tentacles attacking everyone but Yumi the future Naraku wanted her to himself he drew out a sword as did Yumi, they both charged one another.
The fight had begun and went on for what seemed like forever Miroku and Sango were worn out Naraku was about to strike them both down.
"No!" Yumi cried out putting up a barrier to protect them. This gave the Naraku she was fighting the advantage to disarm her and knock her to the ground him putting the sword to her throat.
Naraku then brought out his tentacles to hold her arms down.
"I do not wish to harm you join me Yumi Usagi and together we can rule the world." Naraku whispering into her ear as he was kneeling on the ground ever so close to her this action gained the attention of Sesshomaru. He was enraged that Naraku was that close to his daughter.
Naraku was now leaning into her as if he were going to kiss her.
"Sesshoamru look out!" Inuyasha shouted chopping away at Naraku's tentacles that were about to Peirce right through him. Inuyasha then saw what Sesshomaru saw and he too was enraged.
"Sesshomaru I understand your concern but you have to concentrate on that battle at hand and trust her to fight him back remember she has the power to do so!!" Inuyasha spoke to his brother then continued the battle with there Naraku
"For once you are right about something brother." Sesshomaur said starting to take chops at Naraku.
The seen playing out with Yumi looked vague at the moment and as Naraku got closer Yumi pulled all her strength together screaming in pain.
"Get off of me!" She screamed at him then pushing him back and she pulled out her sword.
"Wind scar!!!" She shouted wounding Naraku he was on the ground then she walked up to him.
"I would never join the likes of you!!!" She said giving the final blow feeling no remorse she then saw the jewel then picked up not holding it to long she handed it off to Sango.
"Yumi what's wrong you look weak for some reason." She said watching Yumi take off to help Sesshomaru and Inuyasha. Miroku woke up in Sango's arms seeing the seen before him Yumi's coloring was off.
"Sango what happened to Yumi?" He asked.
"She didn't look like that till she held this." Sango said holding out the jewel for Miroku to see.
"She's weakened now she should have never held it." Miroku said hanging his head.
"You mean that it like purified her?" Sango said worried.
"No it's like it was sucking the power from her in order to purify it's self." He explained to her.
Yumi joined her father and uncle they stood on each side of her.
"You look pale what happened?" Inuyasha pointed out the obvious.
"Don't worry about that right now we have something to finish here." She said with determination.
Sesshomaur noticed she was still holding up the barrier protecting the monk and the demon slayer from harm, he also smelled her weakening.
"Inuyasha now!" Sesshomaru said and both attacked using there attacks.
"Wind scar!!" Inuyasha shouted.
"Dragon Strike!!" Came from Sesshomaru.
Neither attack managed to harm Naraku to the point of death in fact he threw there attack back at them.
Both of them stood there eyes wide at this just before they were hit a barrier was put up protecting them they were how ever knocked to the ground as the barrier was only able to stand for moments causing and explosion.
"You Wench!" Naraku said grabbing Yumi by the waist.
"I don't know what my future self saw in you but I will not be brought down by the likes of you." He spoke to her looking into her eyes they were suddenly as blue as the sky. "Ah.. now I see what he saw.. he knew who you were and what you were destined to be." Naraku said bringing her closer to him.
It we then she took advantage pulling out two swords chopping off his tentacles that held her he then formed them into a sword of his own and went toe to toe with her he could tell she was tiring.
Sesshomaru and Inuyasha woke up to see the battle in front of their very eyes.
"What's wrong Yumi it seems your getting tired." Naraku spit at her.
the three swords clashing Yumi jumped back avoiding a blow to the stomach area.
"Take this you worthless excuse for a half demon!! Dragon!!! Scar!!!" She shouted the attack took Naraku off guard striking him where it counted.
Every one stared at all at the attack. Yumi staggered over to Naraku she looked down at him with disgust.
All he did was smirk at her as he was laying on the ground looking up at her.
She then took her clawed hand it turned green it went right through him blood splattering every where she then pulled out the jewel he possessed his body disappeared into dust after he was gone she dropped the jewel to the ground then fell to the ground as she went to pick her swords out of the ground as she hit the ground the barrier that surrounded Sango and Miroku went down. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha rushed over to Yumi who was lying there motionless.
