KatarinaA123: This chapter will answer your question, enjoy.
Thanks for the follow greatgirl22302, hope you enjoy the story ;)
A/N: I'm sorry sorry sorry, I'm going to try to edit these last two chapters this week, it's been really stressful lately and it's over stupid stuff. Let me ask you, do you think it's possible to have too many dreams, it seems like almost all the time a new dream pops into my head something I want to accomplish even if it's small and even if I know it's impossible I still dream it. Is it bad to have too many of those?
Edited now, finally. ;)
The group waited in the woods, watching as a silencer shoved a demon girl to the ground. The girl screamed and tried to fight her way out of his grasp, but he kept her pinned to the ground. A second silencer clenched his fist, glaring at them.
"You sure are a pretty girl." The first silencer pushed a lock of hair out of her face. To a child the demon girl may look human, she had smooth, pale skin and long flowing hair. Her ears and eyes gave away her identity as one of the fox demon tribe.
"Must be her brother." Kikyo jerked her head towards the second silencer.
"Probably." Daiti said, he gazed down at the scene once again.
"Give me a kiss, girl." The first silencer bent down and tried to press his lips against the girl. Before his lips could touch her, the second silencer pulled him off.
"What the hell is your problem Nori?"
"Are you disobeying your superior officer Aito?" Nori asked
"Damn right, I'm right here and you're pulling this shit with my sister!" Aito swung his arm and landed a blow. "Don't ever touch her again!" He kicked him again, and reeled back for another blow, but was distracted by the advancing guards.
"Now!" Kikyo yelled and the group landed around the group of guards, the five of them moved expertly among the silencers, slowly taking them all out. Soon there was no one left in the square, most of the families had fled indoors and silencers lay dead on the ground. Kikyo clasped her hands together, her thumb and index finger extended and touching, a soft white light spread around her, purifying the bodies and causing them to disappear.
The villagers slowly exited their homes, some of the silencers did as well, but they didn't attack. "You're free from the reaches of Sesshomaru's power, do not allow him to take your freedom away again!" Kikyo spoke with a powerful voice, almost demanding their obedience.
Several days after their attack on Aito's village, the group stood once again, watching their target, this time, it was a military base, guards stood around it armed with swords and bows.
"I say we just attack head on, come on!" Inuyasha urged.
Hayate and Ren seemed hesitant. "Inuyasha is right," Kikyo spoke. "They'll see us coming no matter what, if we charge straight in we'll have the same luck as if we snuck around back."
"Let's get this over with." Daiti said with a grim voice.
"They'd kill us if they had the chance." Kikyo spoke, she knew Daiti didn't want to attack this military base. His clan and this base had once been allies until Sesshomaru declared Daiti a fugitive.
"I know." Daiti spoke, he suddenly jumped down into the clearing and charged at the tower, Hayate followed close behind him. Ren, Inuyasha, and Kikyo then came from the sides and soon the group was engaged in a full-on battle. Something caught her eye and she saw a flash of silver, it distracted her just long enough for a guard to land a blow on her left arm. She turned and purified the guard, she glanced over and saw Inuyasha and Ren leading some of the guards to the back. That's when she caught sight of Daiti and Hayate, they were being cornered by the guards.
"Sesshomaru." She said, catching the demon Lord's attention, the guards immediately turned their attention away from Hayate and Daiti and instead aimed their weapons at Kikyo. She kept eye contact with Sesshomaru until she was sure Hayate and Daiti had escaped, then she turned and ran away from the tower. Guards shot arrows at her, but just as they were approaching, she turned and drew her sword, instantly purifying them. She slammed her sword into the ground and a white rift appeared, spiritual power seeped out and she took off running, she could no longer sense the rest of her party, they must've gotten away.
"Miko," Sesshomaru landed in front of her, his hair and the fur over his shoulder blowing in the wind. "I'll ask you one last time, will you rule the humans?"
Kikyo glared back, her hair blowing in the wind. "Never." She drew her sword and pointed it at him.
"Very well," He drew his sword and rushed forward, Kikyo was pushed back almost immediately. He seemed to improve from the last time they met. Kikyo shot forward and pushed Sesshomaru back, he was up in a second. They ran towards each other, both of them going in for the final blow. Kikyo stopped after passing him and glanced over her shoulder, her face changed to one of surprise. She looked down at her hands and saw blood coating them, she fell to her knees and onto her face. Sesshomaru landed in front of her and she looked up at him and glared. He only stared back at her, his face unchanged.
"Damn," She said, she began to crawl forward. "Damn you!" She fell back on her face, and her eyes shut.
Sesshomaru picked her up and began to walk back to the castle, he glanced down at her face. He'd seen her before, she always seemed to be troubled, worried, and sad, but now she had a peaceful look on her face. He took to the sky and landed back at the castle. "Dress her wounds." He ordered the human woman he'd brought to cook the miko her meals.
"Where is she?" Inuyasha asked.
"We shouldn't have left her alone!" Hayate held his head in his hands, his eyes burned red and his hair rose. "If Sesshomaru is responsible for her death, I'll kill him with my own hands."
"Don't jump to those conclusions!" Daiti snapped. "Kikyo is strong, she wouldn't be easily defeated!"
"Daiti's right, Kikyo 'ouldn't lose to 'im!" Ren said.
"She's pretty powerful," Inuyasha said. "But Sesshomaru is too, and no human is a match for him."
Kikyo woke up, she looked around and saw an older woman bringing a washcloth over to her. "Please, don't move yet." The woman said.
Kikyo laid back down and glanced up at the woman. "Where am I?"
"You're at Lord Sesshomaru's palace."
"Lord Sesshomaru?" She asked drowsily, she fell back and her eyes closed.
Could the miko have forgotten me? Sesshomaru walked away from the door and into the throne room. This could play into his favor. He smiled and sat on the throne, planning his next move.
Kikyo once again opened her eyes, she turned her head over, it was quiet, she was alone. Why can't I remember anything, who am I?
"Ah," a cold voice spoke from the corner. "I see you're awake Kikyo."
Kikyo shot up and looked over at him, my name is Kikyo.
"Don't move too quickly, you could hurt yourself." The man was instantly at her side, he took her hand into his, and with his other he lightly laid her head back on the pillow. "Rest, tomorrow we will talk." He got up and left, not turning to look back. Sesshomaru smiled to himself, she was falling for it, he walked off, still sharing a wicked smile with himself.
Kikyo sighed and closed her eyes, who was that man? He obviously knew me or thought he knew me. She relaxed and let herself fall into the deep abyss that was sleep.
"Look," Inuyasha said. "She would've found us by now, it's been a few weeks. We have to accept that she lost her life and move on. She'd want us to continue our journey, why do you think she revealed herself? She wanted to give us a chance to get away."
"You're right," Daiti stood. "We have to keep fighting, so she didn't die in vain."
"I'll make Sesshomaru pay," Hayate balled his hand into a fist. "He'll pay for his lack of respect, for his hatred of humans!"
"W'needa plan firs'" Ren said.
"I say we walk right up to him and kill him." Hayate suggested.
"Idiot," Daiti said. "To take down Sesshomaru and his empire, we have to plan this attack out step by step."
"Whatcha think Inuyasha?" Ren asked.
"I think I've got a plan." Inuyasha smiled.
A/N: And tada, the major turning point of the story, I have a feeling I'm gonna lose a good part of the audience I have because of this chapter and this development and if I do then all I can say is good riddance, I didn't sacrifice my plot to meet a 50k goal so I'm sure not gonna sacrifice it because someone doesn't like the way it's unfolding. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter, until next time. I also have to say, this isn't an "oh she lost her memories now it's happily ever after," there will still be a story of them falling in love, and they will still have conflicting emotions, so if that's one of the reasons you'd be abandoning the story, please don't, I wouldn't write something like that.
