Hey guys I'm back with another chapter, and I will try to update sooner!
I don't own Inuyasha or any of it's characters!
I don't own the song I Belong To Me by Jessica Simpson!
I belong to me...
It's not that I dont wanna share my life with you baby
It's just that I'm the one I need to be true to baby
And I won't give up me to be part of you
It's not that I don't wanna have you in my life baby
It's just you gotta know that it's got to be right baby
Before I open up my heart to you
Chestnut eyes opened, as Rin sat up, the hand on her uninjured arm moving to rest against her forhead, before she leaned against the surface of the tree behind her. One eye looked out from a fan of long eyelashes that accented her face, followed by the other. She stood up stretching her uninjured shoulder and began walking in no particular direction.
The group of mismatched travelers made their way through the open field of one of the Northen Mountains, Ayame directing them," Don't go wondering to far off, this is the easiest place to become lost this particular area that we are in is filled with youkai who play tricks on travellers, they would have you wondering around in here for days."
"Feh, like some low level youkai is gonna get near me!" Inuyasha proclaimed proudly.
"Why would they come near you, your one of them hanyou," Sesshoumaru replied monotoniously as he walked by a now gaping Inuyasha, Kagura gigling and holding on to his arm.
Rin shook her head at the pair as Inuyasha tried to start a fight followed by Kagome's interrupted "sit". They had been in these mountains for days, and Ayame claimed they were getting closer to her village.
Rin furrowed her eyebrows and glanced to her left into the foilage that surrounded them, a bad youkai had swept down on the area," Rin, what is it?"
Without turning back to Kagome, Rin replied," Nothing, it's just do any of you feel that," she turned her head only to find that the other youkai in the group had stopped as well, Miroku and Sango included, and where looking about them.
"Something is coming this way," Sango informed, hand moving to Hiraikotsu.
" I sense jewel shards, quite a few, that means..." Kagome began," Naraku," Kagura finished adding on," or one of his minions, I would think it is Hakudoshi.
Rin set her eyes towards the western direction in which the youkai was coming, and only seconds later, the flaming horse Entei appeared, Kanna and Hakudoshi aboard.
"Kagura, you are to return with us at once," Hakudoshi demanded.
"She will do no such thing," Sesshoumaru stated pulling her protectively behind him.
"We'll see," Hakudoshi retorted, and raised his naginata preparing for the first wave of his attack.
Everyone jumped out of the way Sango grabbing onto Rin's hand just as the blast almost hit her, pulling her up into the air dangling below Kilala, which Sango and Miroku road upon.
Sesshoumaru, protecting Kagura, as he grabbed her, lept out of the way, and set her on the sidelines of the battle.
Inuyasha, Kagome pulled out of harms way by Kouga, drew the Tetsusaiga,"Bakuryuuha!"
The blast roared it's way to a laughing Hakudoshi, who immediatly put up a barrier," Pathetic,"the blast roared off of the barrier, missing it's target completely.
"Inuyasha I'll get him!" Kagome yelled from were Kouga had perched her up atop a ledge of the mountain side, she knotched an arrow and let it fly only to have it absorbed by Kanna's mirror at the last instance.
"Hey! Since when can she do that?" Ayame called to the group.
"She has a jewel shard, it's must be enhancing her powers!" called a feminine voice from the side, eyes flew to Kikyo who came out of the tree line and entered into the battle coming to a stop next to Inuyasha much to Kagome's unknown annoyance.
"Well lets see if she can catch this!" Rin yelled about to throw Kyosei, from the tree branch Sango had set her down on to her request," I don't think thats a good idea."
"Kouga?" Rin questioned.
"They haven't seen your weapon yet, it might buy us time if they don't know who you are then they won't be after you yet," he replied leaping back onto the field," Great, now what am I supposed to do?"
Ayame charged Kanna throwing her razor leaves at her, only to have them blocked by Entei, whom Naraku was controlling with Shikon Shards as well, who blasted a strong wave of fire at her, as she was grabbed and taken up into the air to her surprise by Kouga," Ayame," he began not glancing back from where he set her on a ledge near Kagome," stay up here out of the way," then he rejoined the battle.
Sesshoumaru on the other hand, had left Kagura's side and drawn Tokijin, recieving the same results Inuyasha had with the Tetsusaiga, with Kagura left unprotected a smile came to Hakudoshi's face.
"Now you will see what this mirror really can do," Hakudoshi laughed turning his attention to Kagura.
Everyone's attention was on Kagura as Kanna raised her mirror, the arrow that Kagome had shot that had been captured into it reappeared, and was sent flying back into Kagura's direction.
Right as it was about to hit her, a blur jumped infront of her and when the light from the blast dissapeard, it revealed Rin on the ground feet from Kagura. Rin had thought that she was the only one close enough to intervene.
"RIN!" Ayame yelled as the taiji sat up examining where the arrow had luckily only grazed her.
"What a shame," Hokudoshi replied recieving daggard glares from everyone.
With there attention turned Kikyo aimed and fired an arrow at Kanna's mirror, hitting it, but no one expected the energy from the attacks Kanna had been absorbing to come out due to the Shikon Shards, a bright light began to form, and an explosion was heard as everyone was blasted into different parts of the forest.
Rin's eyes swept the horizon as the memories from earlier that day came back to her," I can't believe Sesshoumaru protected her and just left me to get hit!"
"Great now I have no idea where I am or for that matter where anyone else is, but I do intend to find them," Rin pointed out to herself," they could be anywhere."
Rin kept an eye out as she walked through the unfamiliar forrests of the Northern mountains, Ayame's words echoeing in her head," Don't go wondering to far off, this is the easiest place to become lost this particular area that we are in is filled with youkai who play tricks on travellers, they would have you wondering around in here for days."
Rin smiled to herself,"sounds alot like Shippo," "maybe if yelled for them..."
"WHERE IS EVERYONE!"
I don't need somebody to complete me
I complete myself
Nobody's got to belong to somebody else
I belong to me (I)
don't belong to you (my)
heart is my possession (i'll)
be my own reflection
I belong to me (im)
one not half of two (and)
if you're gonna love me
You should know this baby
I belong to me
In another part of the forest Kagome wasn't doing any better," I wonder what happened to Inuyasha?"
Kagome glanced around once, " This is useless, I'm better off sitting here and waiting on someone to find me."
The sound of talking caught her attention and as she made her way through the dense bushes and trees, she came across a very unwanted sight.
Kikyo had her arms wound around Inuyasha, who was saying how glad he was they were together, then like so many times in the past they leaned up, inches form each other, eyes closed.
Kagome took a step back not wanting to witness the kiss and knowing her luck, a snap was heard as she came in contact with a branch, she looked to the two who where grinning at her, blinked and they where gone," Am I seeing things?"
It dawned on Kagome at that moment what Ayame had informed the group," I really need to find Inuyasha!"
I gotta let you know before I let you in, baby
That who I am is not about who Im with, baby
That don't mean I don't wanna be here with you
I do
"KAGOME!!!!!!!!" yelled an annoyed hanyou followed by the sound of a very annoyed wolf," KAGOME WHERE ARE YOU!!!!!"
"How did I get stuck with you!" Inuyasha glared.
"Shut up mutt face and help me find Kagome!"
"I'll find Kagome, you find your girlfriend Ayame"
"She is not my girlfriend!"
"Whatever you say wolf."
"You wanna fight mutt?"
"It would be my pleasure!"
"Should you be fighting at a time like this?"
"Miroku?" Inuyasha and Kouga asked in unnison eyebrows raised at the sudden appearence of their friend.
"What happened to you?" Inuyasha asked noticing the disappointed expression on the monk's face.
"It was awfull!" "I was walking and this beautiful girl came out and I started to follow her, she was line of sight and motioned for me to go to her, but when I got there she just vanished!"
"It's those youkai Ayame warned us about, they're playing tricks." Kouga informed matter-of-factly.
"It wasn't funny," Miroku pouted.
"How did you find us monk?" Inuyasha questioned," Ayame said that the youkai could have us out here for a while."
"You guys were argueing loud enough, luckily I was close enough to hear you both," Miroku said cheerfully.
"We really need to find the girls." Kouga muttered.
I don't need somebody to complete me
I want you to know
I'll give up my love but I'm not giving up my soul
I belong to me (I)
don't belong to you (my)
heart is my possession (i'll)
be my own reflection
I belong to me (im)
one not half of two (and)
if you're gonna love me
You should know this baby
I belong to me
"MIROKU, KAGOME, INUYASHA?" "IS ANYONE THERE?" Sango yelled.
"Well Kilala," the taiji began," atleast you didn't get seperated from me."
Kilala transformed and Sango climbed on her back," Ayame didn't sya the youkai here could fly, and I think we would have better luck this way."
Kilala took off," Oh Boy," Sango muttered shaking her head," this could take a while," she finished looking around at the miles of forests and mountains.
"Well we better get started."
Oh yea
Love don't mean changing who you are to be
Who somebody wants you to be
Nobody's got to belong to nobody
Ayame rolled her eyes," Oh great, this is just great."
"Ayame! Ayame is that you?"
Ayame turned towards the sound of her name," Kagome?"
"I AM SO GLAD I FOUND YOU!" Kagome gleamed.
"I met your little youkai buddies," Kagome explained.
"Oh, well that explains it, come on Kagome, I'm going to get us out of here!"
"Sounds good to me!"
-I belong to me (I)
don't belong to you (my)
heart is my possession (i'll)
be my own reflection
I belong to me (im)
one not half of two (and)
if you're gonna love me
You should know this baby
I belong to me
"WHY ME!" Rin announced.
"Oh great now I'm talking to myself."
"No, I was listening."
Rin turned around and came face to face with none other then Sesshoumaru.
"Is it really you?" Rin questioned," Your not one of those youkais playing tricks on me or anything.
"You would question this Sesshoumaru?"
A smile crossed her face, then quickly vanished," I'm not speaking to you!"
"Why is that?"
"Listen just go find your girlfriend."
"I have no girlfriend."
"Kagura, Sesshoumaru, I'm talking about Kagura you obviously care for her so go find her!"
"If I cared so much for her, why is it you I came looking for?"
Rin's mouth dropped, but Sesshoumaru had already turned around," Did he just imply he cares for me?
"Hey," Rin began catching up with him," wait for me."
Well that's it for this chapter!
