Inuyasha arrived at his destination; Keadea's village. It had been long abandoned by demons because of the sacred power that enclosed it. Inuyasha walked straight on through the barriers and into the village he once visited often.
Inuyasha visited his old friend's hut, and then wondered up Kikyo's shrine where he fell to his knees and dipped his head so his bangs covered his eyes.
"I guess if you did live and stay around, you would only have been killed by demon's when they took over and killed all humans."
Inuyasha sat with no response for a while before he got up and took a walk to Inuyasha's forest where his first stop was the sacred well. Or the edge of the clearing because there was a heavy sutra placed on the well, that no demon could penetrate. He stood solemnly with a hand gently placed against a tree for stability.
Inuyasha's next stop was the sacred tree. Inuyasha looked at the bare patch of tree and the hole where the arrowhead had pierced. Inuyasha wiped his hand across it before sitting and leaning against the tree, remembering Kagome and everything she stood for. Inuyasha came across Satsuya many times. She was infectious, bleeding into his every thought. Inuyasha finally pushed her out. Kagome was all he wanted to think about and he soon drifted to sleep.
------------
When Inuyasha awoke, he found himself laying in his old, most favourite hut, looking up at the ceiling with a warm fire blazing next to him, the flames dancing up into the air before they disappeared.
"What the hell? How'd I get here?" Mumbled Inuyasha as he sat up and saw that he was the only one there.
"Strange." Inuyasha breathed out and relaxed against the wall opposite to the door.
Some one walked in. It was no other than, Kagome. Inuyasha was shocked to see her. She turned and smiled at Inuyasha. Kagome continued around the fire. Inuyasha was tranced. Slow motion of Kagome walking took effect and the background became swirly. Kagome continued around the fire to Inuyasha when all of a sudden she slipped and hit the ground hard. She broke Inuyasha's trance.
"Ow. That hurt!" Said Kagome getting to her feet.
Inuyasha couldn't do anything but sit and stare in absolute disbelief.
"Inuyasha? Are you ok?" Asked Kagome walking and kneeling in front of Inuyasha.
"Ka-Kagome?" Asked Inuyasha speechless.
"Yea who else?" Asked Kagome aggressively.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha threw his arms around Kagome.
After a few seconds, Kagome dissolved into nothing and Inuyasha fell forward and hit his face on the floor. Satsuya walked in and stood at the door, watching Inuyasha mumble that he was an idiot to himself as he got up.
Inuyasha suddenly realized some one was watching and froze. He looked up at the door way but saw no one.
"There's some one here! My mind isn't playing tricks I know that!" Said Inuyasha loudly.
"I guess I can't hide from you forever." Said Satsuya appearing from the door.
Inuyasha's mad expression turned shocked and un-expectant.
"Sorry. I mean…about the hallucination." Satsuya knelt by Inuyasha and took a pot and a bowl.
"Who are you really? What are you and how did you create something so real of something that doesn't exist?" Asked Inuyasha.
"My real name is sadly Miyazaki but I prefer you just called me Satsuya because I don't like to be reminded of Miyazaki's life. I can tell you no further." Satsuya poured tea into one bowl.
"I need to know who you are to trust you!"
"You know who I am. I am Lady Miyazaki." Replied Satsuya breathing out and picking up the next bowl and pouring tea.
"Ok lady M—"
"Satsuya is just fine!" Said Satsuya quickly, picking up a bowl and placing it by Inuyasha.
"Ok…Satsuya! What are you?" Asked Inuyasha picking up the tea bowl.
"A demon." Replied Satsuya before taking a sip of her tea.
"What type of…demon?" Asked Inuyasha.
"A..." Said Satsuya before trailing off to look around the room.
Out the window she saw an eagle.
"A black eagle." Replied Satsuya quickly.
"You are?" Asked Inuyasha with a stunned face of blankness.
"Yes! Why do you look at me in such a manner?" Satsuya was starting to get crept out by Inuyasha.
"Well I've never heard of you guys actually existing. Just tales."
"Yes." Satsuya sighed with relief.
"So how did Kagome appear?" Asked Inuyasha.
"''T is a gift I have!" Replied Satsuya before taking a sip of tea.
"And why are we speaking in dog demon and not Japanese?" Asked Inuyasha.
"That I can not answer!" Replied Satsuya sternly.
"How many demon languages do you know?" Asked Inuyasha.
"All!" Replied Satsuya.
"And yet you don't know Japanese? The main one that humans brought around? And you're a type of demon, yet you know every one else's language?" Asked Inuyasha totally confused.
"I'm afraid I don't know much Japanese. And yes, my up bringing was with many languages." Said Satsuya looking to the ground and slouching as if she were depressed at what she just said.
"So you ready to tell me who you are?" Asked Inuyasha.
"I am Satsuya! I am not at all from these lands. I have the abilities of a psychic, yet I am not. I can create something that one most desires for as long as they don't touch that object. A hallucination if you like. But I can make something appear in its fullest if it is apart of this world and time frame." Replied Satsuya.
"So…because Kagome isn't here, you couldn't make her real right in front of me, but if I asked for something that was living like my brother, you would be able to teleport him from where ever he was to right in front of me?" Asked Inuyasha.
"Exactly! Except I could create a replica of your brother if I felt like it." Replied Satsuya.
"Ok then."
An awkward silence fell over Inuyasha and Satsuya.
"So you are a black eagle demon?" Asked Inuyasha.
Satsuya was silent while she thought about her answer carefully.
"Yes." Replied Satsuya.
"Wow!" Said Inuyasha sitting back with an astounded face.
A silence fell upon them both. Inuyasha was looking around the room avoiding Satsuya while Satsuya stared at the dancing flames of the fire taking sips of tea at random intervals.
"So…why are you here?" Asked Inuyasha breaking the silence.
"Because I ran away."
"Why was my brother chasing after you?"
"Your brother is chasing after me because he's what I'm running from!"
"It's not like him to just run after any demon especially with his army of high classed demon warriors."
"High classed? Please, I've come across children higher qualified than them!" Satsuya laughed.
"So why are you running from him? Most demons would be running to him." Said Inuyasha.
"Yes but I am the unlucky one that was chosen to be his mate." Replied Satsuya.
Inuyasha was so staggered; the air fell silent once again.
"I refuse to put my self in a cage again!" Satsuya threw her palm to the floor and her aura flickered wildly causing Inuyasha to cower in fear. "I'm sorry." Satsuya returned to normal.
"It's ok." Said Inuyasha easing up.
"I know that any demon would kill to be in my position but I've been running for 2 years. My legs are getting weary and there is only a limited area in which you can run and hide." Explained Satsuya.
"So you travelling to Mount Fuji, was a lie?" Asked Inuyasha.
"No! If I go to Mount Fuji, I can return to where I belong, but Sesshomaru is stopping me from getting there. He keeps driving me away." Replied Satsuya.
"Does he know that you're trying to get there?" Asked Inuyasha.
"No. He thinks I'm trying to cross the border into the western lands, back to change my father's mind."
"You said to me that you're sorry for my loss. How did you know that Kagome chose to leave?" Asked Inuyasha.
"Because that's all you think about; Kagome and why she left."
Inuyasha looked away saddened.
"You still think of Kikyo. Why?" Asked Satsuya.
Inuyasha snapped up to meet Satsuya's gaze.
"She tried to destroy you and Kagome. No?"
"Yes. I hate her!" Replied Inuyasha with no emotion.
"You've turned into your brother. Expressionless most of the time, hating yourself, hating the world and pretty much everything in it." Said Satsuya.
"I am nothing like that stuck up jerk!" Yelled Inuyasha angrily.
"Oh but you are. There is one thing you cherish above all but it has slipped our of your grasp." Said Satsuya calmly.
"He hates humans! I hate demons!" Said Inuyasha furiously.
"Oh but you're wrong. You're brother had adapted feelings for a certain human child called Rin! He saw her as a daughter. He had to watch the suffering and death of that he cherished." Satsuya remained calm.
Inuyasha looked at the dancing flames of the fire and stayed silent.
"So you're not denying that you and your brother are more similar than you thought?" Asked Satsuya.
Inuyasha remained silent.
"Well this is a progressing conversation. You need to get some rest and I need to be on my way." Said Satsuya putting down her tea and standing.
Inuyasha saw what was on her arm for the first time. She always kept it hidden. He then saw the scars across her torso, down her arms and across her neck. Inuyasha was immobilized in fear and shock.
"Good bye Inuyasha!" Said Satsuya as she turned back to the door.
Inuyasha didn't even hear her words. He was so tranced he heard nothing but the screams of the wounds. All he could feel was the pain that the wounds generated. All he could think about was who made the wounds. As soon as Satsuya was out of sight, Inuyasha came back to reality, breathing heavily with blank eyes of fear. Inuyasha shook his head clear, got up and rushed out of the hut.
"Satsuya!" Inuyasha yelled as he ran for the door.
