Chapter 9

I DO NOT OWN THE INUYASHA CHARACTERS so don't bother suing me

Hey I'm back with yet another chapter but don't panic…this is not the last chapter so stay calm.

FLASH BACK:

"I…told you…I won't let this happen to Yumi…" and then ran off wiping her tears away to the way Yumi had gone…

She ran out to chase Yumi but she was no where in sight.

"YUMI!" she screamed and looked in all direction earning all eyes around her. Then Marli had an idea a crazy but good idea…

She went bolted back to her house and jumped into her window when she saw her father sitting on her bed looking at an old sword on a belt and still in its sheath.

"…Dad?" Marli asked

"Do what you need to do" as he got up and walked over to a stunned Marli

"……" Marli said nothing

"Here take this and use it against the demon" he said quietly

Marli took the sword and said thanks, dived under her bed and forked out her clothes from when she saved Rokou.

Marli got into her demon slayer clothes in the bathroom and then shot out in her demon form with the Tetsusaiga loosely around her waist on the side.

"Marli wait…its name is Tetsusaiga" he said as Marli looked back as she jumped out the window and then bolted back towards Tokyo through peoples backyards with out being seen.

Her scent led her to an old where house on the out skirts of Tokyo, she walked in to see a guy in a baboon suit standing about 10 meters away.

"Hello…come to save you friend?" he spat out

"Yes and I demand to know who you are!" yelled Ilram

"I am Naraku! Your killer!" Naraku spat out as he ran towards her with his claws.

Marli pulled out the Tetsusaiga and slashed him from his chest-up, he did a back flip and landed behind her.

Marli turned around "Where the FUCK DID YOU PUT MY FRIEND?" spat out Marli

"She's over there near the back entrance…" he said in a posh way but in a calm way

Marli took a quick look and then bolted over to her. She stood in front of her body and guarded it.

Then the Tetsusaiga started to pulse and then form into a fang as Naraku was coming at her with a sword trying to slice Ilram and Yumi.

"AHHHHHHHH YOU WILL PAY FOR THAT YOU FUCK HEAD" Ilram screamed as she came at him with the Tetsusaiga.

She cut his baboon thing off and saw him for who he really was and what he really looked like.

A scratch appeared on his face as he wiped the blood away that came out of it.

"I have wasted enough time here!" Naraku spat out as he ran off out of the where house to out of no where.

She noticed a deepish cut on her wrist and then immediately ran to her friend who looked like she was in pain she moaned in pain as she laid on her side with her wrist out showing the strange tattoo from before.

She brought her into her arms and carried her to Ilram's room, she went in through the window, tucked her in bed and went down stairs to find Inuyasha…

"Dad?" Marli said as she saw her dad sitting at the table sipping a cup of coffee in his demon form.

"Yse Marli" as he turned his head towards her

"Its Yumi my friend, she has been badly hurt by a man who claimed to be Naraku" said Ilram swiftly.

"NARAKU?!" he stood up and said angrily

"Yes…" Ilram said

"I…better go and check on Yumi" she said with slight hesitation and then really quickly

So she went upstairs and Inuyasha followed her.

She got there and saw Yumi tossing in her sleep as if she was in a bad dream, there was also sweat running down her face.

"No…I won't let this…happen" muttered Yumi

Marli was by her side and saying comforting things like 'you can do it' or 'I'm here your safe' and stuff like that.

Inuyasha went into Marli's bathroom and then came out with a wet face washer and then gave it to Ilram to wipe Yumi of her sweat.

Inuyasha sat next to Ilram "Marli? I'm going to take you to the feudal era and train you all that I know"

Inuyasha said this in a very confronting way.

"Ok shall we start when Yumi gets better?" said Ilram

"Yes…I think I'll call your mother because she knows lots about this type of stuff" said Inuyasha as he went down the stairs.

Ilram stayed with her on her side until 20 minutes later Kagome came in, she looked at the girl very closely and then said…

"What happened here?" she said with worry in her voice

Ilram told her everything that happened at school and the where house (I'm not gonna re-tell what just happened because I just couldn't be bothered).

"Ah huh…I have just the thing, just wait there" said Kagome as headed out the bedroom door.

Kagome went down stairs and then opened a door under the stairs to reveal all this old Japanese traditional stuff.

"This is the stuff Kaede gave me before she had died" she said happily but inwardly

She dived in and then came out with a jar of what looks like clear pink liquid that had instructions tied to it with a red ribbon.

Kagome hurried to the daidokoro (kitchen) to get a spoon and then hurried back up stairs to Marli's room where Yumi is.

Kagome came in and went to Yumi's side; Kagome opened Yumi's mouth slightly and Kagome put in one spoonful of the liquid.

Kagome saw Ilrams wound and tended to it by going back down stairs to get the first aid kit.

Then Yumi's eye's started to flutter open, her vision was at a blur as she saw Kagome and Ilram looking over her with kinda surprised looks.

She slowly sat up in her bed squinting.

"Wha, where…am I?" she asked tiredly

"Your at my house" said Ilram in a comforting tone as she put her hand on Yumi's shoulder.

"Oh…what happened?" asked Yumi

(She explains and you know the reason why I couldn't be bothered explaing a again)

"He did…?" asked Yumi

"Yeah so I think you visit my house every day for 7 days because we think we can get rid of that tattoo on your arm" said Kagome's mum in worry

"Yeah but how would I explain to my parents?" asked Yumi

"Well…say that your going to study with me until 7:30"

"Can we invite over the girls?" asked Yumi tiredly but happily

"Yeah but we won't be doing anything because you need your rest so I will invite the girls over just to help and keep you company"

Yumi looked at the alarm clock and saw it was 3:30pm "Oh no it's 3:30, my mother will be waiting for me at home soon!" Yumi said in shock

"Ok well I'll drive you at the back of the school" said Kagome's mum

"I'm coming too" said Marli as she went into the bathroom and got changed, put her bracelet and then went out the door in her human and school form with a bandaged wrist.

Kagome drove the car and Yumi and Marli sat in the back together.

Kagome drove kinda behind the school where no one could see them, the girls got out and went through the back entrance and into the corridors where everybody was getting their stuff and going home.

When the corridors weren't so crouded Rokou spotted them both of them and came over to them.

"Are you two alright?" he asked in worry

"Uh…yeah were fine" Marli hesitated for a bit and then said the rest really fast.

"So we better be going…hehe" said Yumi with a fake smile that was very obvious to Rokou.

As they were about to turn around and leave he grabbed both their wrist's and took a quick but good look.

"Girls are you sure your ok?" said Rokou with a worried look

"Yes, yes where've fine" they said both happily but in a fake way that was obvious to Rokou

The girls both left walking away in a very quick pase.

Here's what was going on in Rokou's head about Marli's bandage around her wrist and Yumi's tat:

"Marli needs help, I think she's been cutting her self…like she's been depressed and the crying out in the hall, lashing away, saying Yumi needs help or something…this has got me worried."

"I think Yumi's strange tattoo is…weird…and all I know is that those two need help"

Yumi got picked up by her mum and then Kagome got picked up by her's.

What will happen when Rokou and his friends are keeping a close eye on them? What drama will happen trying to keep the truth about the tattoo and cut? What will happen when they try and stop him from finding out Marli's secret? (That she's the inu-hanyou that saved his life)…read the next chapter and find out…but it's gonna take a while. AND I'D JUST LIKE 2 SAY: MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
