Chapter 9:
Rin came back and told that the river was close which gave slight relief for Yunia who hurried to it and jumped in as she tried to wash herself clean of the darkening blood.
Yunia was making the water reddish and she was starting to panic until it was only for a slight moment and then all the dirty water washed away and she tried to clean her dirty clothes.
In a few minutes, she was clean and dry but she was still a little bit worried for what might become of her if Sesshomaru were to find out what was wrong with her.
"Rin?" Yunia whispered as Rin walked form the bushes with flowers that she started to braid into Yunia's hair.
"Thanks…This might help me smell like flowers until tomorrow…2 more days and ill be free of womanly cycles," Yunia groaned as Rin gently braided another flower into Yunia's hair.
"INUYASHA!" kagome yelled as they reached the end of a very long river
"What?" he barked as kagome kneeled next to the river and grabbed the panty hoes that floated across the river.
"Its….These are Yunia's…She was wearing them last time we saw her" she exclaimed as she jumped up and walked over to inuyasha who sniffed them but nothing but river bottom and a very…very…very! Small scent of Yunia, but it was a very flowery and old Yunia, not enough to go on.
"Kagome…This river goes on forever, she could have taken them off far up the river…And also the river is slow…we could be hundreds of miles behind…" Miroku explained as kagome sighed and just looked at her feet.
'Mom's going to kill me if she finds out I lost my math tutor to Sesshomaru….Plus Sota is going to be sad that his favorite teacher is gone…' Kagome sighed once more and stood next to Inuyasha.
"But it's a clue…We know she is or was beside the river…Maybe inuyasha could pick up her scent by walking near the river" Kagome burst out as the idea came to her head.
"Its possible" Sango whispered sadly as she looked ahead, She didn't know Sesshomaru that well, but the way inuyasha acted on the subject it seemed that Sesshomaru was the least bit their ally and with that she wasn't sure that Yunia was still alive….She had to be, But in her guts it felt as if it was very unlikely.
Kagome walked next to her beloved inuyasha, Hand in Hand, head on his arm as she closed her eyes as she imagined things she expected Sesshomaru would do. She had just met the girl the day she brought her to the feudal era and now she was worried tremendously. Not only do they now have to stop Naraku, Help out kohaku, But now they have to rescue Yunia.
Sesshomaru stood on a cliff staring over the valley of dead soldiers as he narrowed his eyes at the two men in the middle, battling for their lives. He just closed his eyes and looked up as Rin and Yunia came to mind. He growled and opened his eyes.
Yunia and Rin's faces were burned into his mind, plus what Yunia had said was repeating every few hours and bothering him to the point he left to get some piece but it would not leave. In-fact, now it was louder then ever!
HE jumped down and walked over the corpses when at least the demon struck down the demon and fell to his knees in a panting frenzy. Sesshomaru stared at the human beneath him as his tenseiga glowed, HE pulled it out as it sliced threw the humans head. Turning Sesshomaru saw the cliff and smelled something weird.
It smells liked blood, With Yunia's flower scent lingering on it.
