Hey, how is everyone. I have the next chapter up for ya...duh it's right below. Hehehe...well hope you like it!

I DONT OWN INUYASHA.

Chapter 22: Warning!

After having a thirty second chat with Kagome Yuri is the first to hang up. How long is it going to take these little nation of people to get here?

"If I knew where they were I'd drag their butts here," she whimpers, slouching her shoulders, "but I'm too lazy. I feel like I haven't have sleep in days now!"

She yawns and growls in not pulling herself together, but it isn't her fault. Her pupils sensitive to the light she's been squinting non-stop, sick of this she was. The mix of her silver and brown hair, that made it look like a weird bronze color, dulls. Like something was sucking the life out of it.

Killing it.

She strolls through the hall when all the sudden the area gets very dim. The air plummets to a shivering temperature that when she exhales she sees her breath floating up towards the ceiling. Yuri remains calm but sketches her surroundings until she stops and gazes in front of her. The hallway travels on forever in darkness. A gust of frost bitten wind runs into her. Making the joints of her knees and elbows buckle. Her skin produces goose bumps all over the perimeter of her body. Where did it come from? Trying to build friction she rubs the upper part of her arms - from wearing short sleeves - and her body goes into survival mode as she shakes, keeping warm.

Curse it, why'd I have to wear these shorts. The fabric is so old and wore out that it doesn't even help keep in warmth!

She curses herself from the climate affecting her so easily, "Hello, who's ever d-doing this. Yo-you better have-"

"A good explanation."

Yuri immediately threats this accent with a snarl, it makes her sick in hearing it, "Y-you again!"

"Don't waste your breath, you'll just get weaker," the hidden person replies harshly or the creature.

That wench from my dream!

"T-trust me if I can deal w-with this I can manage worse," Yuri challenges with a heavy breath while exposing her fangs, "I kn-know you're the reason why I'm so weak. What are y-you using me for?"

"I am not using you but more towards giving you a warning. So right now I'm playing nice. Yes, I'd knew you'd feel weak if I did this but it won't kill you, fool. You'll come of good use to me," the creature barks. The creature may have had Yuri's voice but the attitude was not identical at all.

"Warning me?" Yuri repeats, "…w-why did you say that I was a mere tool for Sesshomaru cause from wha-whatever you showed me last night it seems like the other way a-around!"

The exact crimson eyes appear; they narrow in anger, "I said that for a reason. He is just going to make this worse for you and me if you stay with him!"

"That's my choice though! What do you m-mean when you said 'you and me'?" Yuri shouts in a statement.

Suddenly her future self steps out of the darkness as its dangerous outlook grants Yuri a clear view. She couldn't believe that she would ever see herself like what she was seeing now.

Her future self or 'the creature' speaks, "Look what's in front of you Yuri; this is what will become of you when I make my move. And once you notice what's going on it'll be too late."

What is my other self saying? Or other half! Is this what happens to me when I let the vicious half of my demon come out? Like Inuyasha or like Sesshomaru when he turns into his true demon form. Is this supposed to be my true form? But like Myouga said I can control that. That I'm strong enough to choose when I want to bring it out! It can't make its own move! I won't let it!

While Yuri was still in her thoughts the evil presence changes and looks exactly like Yuri is now. Like if Yuri had her own twin. Like she was looking at her own reflection. Yuri's twin utters in a tender tone and her mournful teal eyes gave no hope in puckering up brightness into them, "watch out for him Yuri. He'll come sooner than you think." Yuri begins seeing her reflection fade as the future Yuri was sinking further into the darkness, into the never ending hallway.

"W-wait," Yuri hesitates in stretching out her hand but chooses to sprint to her. She can't reach to her, like she's running but at the same time not even moving an inch from where she stood. It's not doing anything for her.

The environment then shifts as sunlight appears behind her and the whole area was back to its cheerfulness. Back to its normal and peaceful expression. The demon feels the total opposite as she suddenly gets light headed and loses her stepping.

Smacking her form against the white wall she slides downward to the floor. Hitting the ground with a thud she messages her forehead and plasters her hands on her face. Still imaging the previous scenes. Hugging her knees to her chest the teen realizes she wasn't cold anymore. Finally relaxing Yuri engraves a very clueless and helpless expression. Her heart - once racing – beats softly but it's thumping makes her chest sting and turn sore. She could pass out right now and sleep for a whole day.

A firm, clawed hand settles on her right shoulder as she rotates her neck to the hand touching her. She senses and sees the tips of the sharp nails stab the fabric of her shirt as she raises her head up. Sesshomaru towers above her. The lord had come down to her level even though he was still a foot taller. He looks over at her with his same blank view. His eyes held it differently though as she could faintly see.

"I don't know what's going on, I don't know, it's so… ," she whispers to him and blocks her view from him.
