Inuyasha traveled for a very long while, until he just couldn't run anymore. He collapsed to his knees. Though he didn't want to wait and chance not being able to find who he was looking for, Inuyasha reluctantly decided that he had to rest.
"Now I know what it must've been like for them all the time...while I could keep on going for days without rest, they had to rest, since they were only human...ha...you realize a lot when you have to I guess. Still, none of them, well, except for Shippo, none of them really complained about how long we'd travel, they'd just suggest that it was time for a rest..." Inuyasha lay back in the grass, and looked up at the night sky, full of stars, and noticed it. The moon.
"It'll be time soon...about 4 more nights, then it'll be a new moon." Inuyasha groaned. He really didn't like turning human, especially not when he had a battle he had to fight going on. Like the time he fought Jakoutsu. Due to Mt. Hakurei's purrifying technique, he'd had to fight most of the battle as a human, not easy with Jakoutsu's snake-like sword flying at him. The only thing then, that protected him was his fire rat coat and his sowrd's sheath. Not much. He'd been so thankful when the purrification spell was removed and he turned hanyou again. Though, his demon form would have been better to kick the sick corpse's ass, but he took what he had and beat the ass.
He closed his eyes, but couldn't sleep, all he could see when he tried were images from the privous days. Images, he'd rather not have. Though he couldn't sleep, he felt energized again, from sitting and eating smething. He decided he'd continue first thing, for now, he thought he'd at least try and nap, maybe picture good things. Ramen, the jewel whole and in the palm of his hand, pretty sunrise, Kagome naked in her room. He blushed at that thought. He'd been at her window, about to jump through, when he'd seen her take off the twol she'd had on and what a sight he'd seen. "Yeah, I'll picture Kagome naked, while I sleep, or at least try to. Thats a way better image to see." Again he closed his eyes and this time he did get to sleep, but as usual he was still very much aware of everything around him, including the crickets making their cricket music in the dark night.
"Where the hell are you!" Inuyasha wondered as he searched high and low for the one and only person who could bring back the dead. "Danmit! Where the fuck are you when I actually want to see you!" Inuyasha growled, then smelt something in straight ahead. the one he sought out's scent. Ah, ha! I know you're stink off by...wha..." Inuyasha jumped down to where several bits of flesh were strewn through the entire ransacked camp.
"What the hell...ugh! It smells disgusting!" Inuyasha remembered that smell and once again, he had to bend over and spill his guts on the gorund. "Ugh..." He recognised the bodies of flesh to be of the imp and the child. Inuyasha gave a sad look then saw who he'd been searching for, sitting under a tree, not far, but far enough from the massacured bodies.
"S...Sesshoumaru?" The demon turned to his hanyou brother. "What the hell do you want!" Inuyasha said nothing, he just came and sat not to close, but close enough to his older half brother. "What!" "It happened to me as well." "...I see..." Inuyasha sighed, "Thats why I came here..." "To get me to bring your friends back to life?" "Ah...yeah..." "Whatever trully happened here, Tensiga was taken in the midst." "Oh..." Inuyasha had kind of thought thats what ahd happened to the sword, or else, the imp and the child would be alive, and most likely annoying the heck out of their lord.
Inuyasha sighed, "So the same thing happened here, huh...did you wake to find blood on your hands as well?" "..." "Thought so, I' begining to think that these massacures, have been ways to..." "Frame us?" "Mhm, and there is only one, vile loathsome thing that could ever pull this off." "You must be talking about Naraku." "Thats him alright..." "Hm, he is evil enough to do this, I agree." "HUH! You agree with me!" "Don't get uded to it, but why would he go to these lengths?" Inuyasha thought, then shrugged, "I don't know and if he did this now, if he was targeting us in general, why not months ago? Years ago?" "Thats true, there must me a reason for why we have been targeted..." Inuyasha thought, then wondered. He stood. "You should burry the bodies, that way when you get the sword back you can make them live again." Again Sesshoumaru agreed, and for the first time since the battle with Sounga, the two brothers agreed to not only work, and fight together, but also travel together. Though both secretly knew that if the journey took too long, they'd kill eachother, and this time, they'd do it too, fore Sesshoumaru no longer had Tensiga in his possesion.
After burrying the bodies, Inuyasha suggested they head out. So the brothers, headed off walking side by side like normal travel companions do. Inuyasha had a wondering thought and he wanted to know if what he thoight was right or not.
