Chapter 13 -Nightmares and Claws-
A few days passed as Sesshoumaru and his companions crossed the smilingly endless sea of hills. They came to a stream that ran threw the hill around four and agreed to stop there for the day.
Amy fashioned a fishing pole out of a branch from a weeping willow that grew along the bank. She looked around for something to use as string but all the branches were to big so she set it aside fro a while.
When Sesshoumaru walked by helping Koga carry the firewood they would need for that night an idea popped into her head. She reached out and grabbed one of his long silvery hairs and yanked it out.
Sesshoumaru dropped the wood and turned to glare at Ami, who was triumphantly tying his hair to her pole. Malon smirked and turned away so Sesshoumaru wouldn't see his smile though he knew he could hear him laughing quietly.
He growled softly and picked up the wood he'd dropped and went back to his chore as Ami turned and began fishing.
--- With Miroku and the gang ---
They'd started their journey earlier that morning. Inuyasha and Kagome walked out in front enjoying a heated lovers quarrel. What it was about he didn't know.
Miroku shrugged , they hadn't changed much, except now they knew they loved each other.
They walked all day, westward, knowing that was the direction Ami had last been seen traveling.
Around dusk they stopped and readied camp. Kagome set about making instant noodles for their dinner and they all sat around the fire and ate in silence except for Inuyasha happy slurps, that is.
Miroku grinned at his old friend. The sun set behind the mountains. Kagome and the others beaded down for the night. Around midnight Miroku sat up suddenly, followed by Kagome who hand felt it to.
Someone had cast a very powerful spell. It was taking effect some were on the other side of the mountains.
(0_o)
"That's a very powerful spell for the effects to be felt so far from where its being exacted!" Miroku commented.
"Yeah..." Kagome agreed.
"You don't suppose?"
"No Sesshoumaru doesn't lower himself to casting spells. He prefers to be direct." Inuyasha commented from the tree branch he'd been sleeping on.
"You're right. He's mean but he's straight forward." Kagome agreed.
Miroku nodded
He looked westward toward, un-none to him, Ami and Sesshoumarus camp.
--- Ami and her group ---
Ami sat on watch, Malon and Koga slept under the willow tree, and Sesshoumaru lay against a rock sleeping soundly.
He slept deeper then normal, to the point where he began to dream.
((^ He stood in the darkness, all alone, when a voice, a soft and quiet, began to singing.
'Ami?' he thought
He turned to see a thin soft body was walking toward him. Brown hair that hung down past her knees swayed around her naked body. Her soft brown eyes were filled with emotion.
She seemed to float nearer and nearer to him.
"Ami?" his voice echoed
The girl was right in front of him now and she put her hands on his shoulders and pulled off his armor and kimono top. She hugged against his bear chest.
He didn't understand it but for some reason he reached and encircled her with his arm.
The brown-eyed young woman looked up and locked him in a kiss. His first reaction was to try and pull away but she dug her nails into her back just beneath his shoulder blades.
The sweet voice continued to sing in the background. He couldn't make out the words but it somehow made him very comatose.
The girl finally let him out of her kiss and hugged herself closer to him.
A wind blew and there hair mixed. The white and brown, whipping around them.
"Ami?" he asked again.
The girl looked up at him and a smile crossed her face.
Sesshoumaru smiled slightly back.
"No." the girl said in a accent that echoed many different voices.
The wind stopped, or at least form around him, his hair fell back into place behind him.
( 0_o its going to get ... I don't know how to explain it... but is getting good. Hold on to yer butts)
Suddenly the face that had been so young and beautiful turned old and wrinkled. The soft brown eyes turned into black pits, and the wavy brown hair became a startling white and seamed to have a mind of its own.
The dull human nails that dug into his back became sharp demonic ones.
The woman's voice cackled as she laughed up at him.
"Sesshoumaru!"
She laughed wickedly.
The white hair wrapped tightly around his neck, arm, and waist.
The claws dug deep into his naked back. The pain was excruciating and he couldn't keep the expression back.
He screamed shrilly, unlike other times such as when Malons darts had hit him and he had roared in rage. Theses screams were of pure and terrifying pain, they resembled that of a slowly dieing rabbit.
He tried to brake free of the old woman's grasp and only succeeded in causing her nails to dig further into his back. ^))
Ami was sitting on a rock humming a song to herself. There was never anything to do on her watch, and then she heard loud terrified whimpers behind her.
She automatically turned to Koga but he had also heard the sound and was looking around in much bewilderment, not making a hum.
Ami turned to where Sesshoumaru sat against another rock, expecting to find him looking for the noise source as well but she was shocked at what she saw.
In the moonlight she watched Sesshoumarus shaking form. His eyes twitched in pain and his teeth were gritted against it as well. Never the less he whimpered loudly. The look on his face was the most shocking part of it all, shed never seen such a expression on him. His face was locked in a show of intensifying pain.
"Sesshoumaru!" She ran over to him and grabbed his shoulders. He yelped shrilly like a puppy who'd just been kicked.
((^ "Sesshoumaru! Sesshoumaru!" the old woman called, mocking Ami's voice.
'Ami!' his thoughts cried out over his screams. 'Pleases! Ami! Help me!' ^))
Sesshoumaru was becoming more and more frantic. Koga had frozen when he saw the dog demon and the state he was in. Malon had awoken after Ami started yelling and lay there, to scared to move.
"Sesshoumaru!!!" Ami yelled at him in a worried voice. She smacked him hard across the face in a last attempt to get him to wake up, his body jolted forward as his arm swung out in a deadly arch just nearly missing Ami because shed ducked a moment before.
Sesshoumaru gasped for breath as he sat, now wide-awake. He looked down at Ami, who was crying. He tried to calm himself and slowly undid his armor. His hand felt around on his back until it touched a warm liquid streaming out of eight long, deep, gashes in his back where the hag had dug her claws in.
He pulled his hand around in front of his face and the dark blood on his fingers glistened in the moonlight.
Koga and Malon were to astonished for words. Ami however grabbed him around the middle and cried into him.
"Oh Sesshoumaru! I was so scared!"
His breathing was finally starting to return to normal and he looked down at Ami's tear streaked face trying to calm her as well.
He wrapped his arm around her and held her against his chest, trying to quiet her.
"Sesshoumaru..." Malon choked out. "What's going on..."
Sesshoumaru didn't say anything but looked instead at the sky as if searching for an answer himself.
---In a dark cave ---
A thin, naked form lay on the ground in front of a large blue crystal.
The hanyou's ears twitched. Her black eyes opened and she sat up. Her solid white hair swayed behind her.
Her catlike ears twitched again.
"How very odd..." she smirked.
"Master's enemy has a doggie caring for her."
The cat hanyou licked Sesshoumarus blood off her fingers.
"Masters enemy is powerful! She push me out of pup's mind and body!"
She looked down at her singed palms.
"She powerful indeed."
