ESCAPE
I don't own Inuyasha
Thanks for the support, reviews and all.
Ok so this chapter is my idea of the bones eater's well, I'm actually not sure what is the history or reason of existence of the well but it came so this came to my mind and I'm just going with it.
Enjoy!
******CHAPTER 7*******
"Oh Sesshomaru! You came to visit your old mother " The beautiful woman said .
Sesshomaru almost snorted at that statement, his mother hasn't aged since he was a pup or even before then "greetings mother" he nodded his head in acknowledgment, he the lord of he west would never bow not even to his mother
There was a slight movement of her head to return the greeting "To what do I owe the honor of your visit my son? And where is the human girl and the little yokai that always follow you?" She asked from her throne raising an eyebrow
"Mother I need the medow stone" Sesshomaru said refusing to answer her questions
"Oh! And why is that?" His mother asked
"Is none of your concerned mother" he responded
"My son, you really expect me to hand it over just like that. You do know that it was a gift from your father, I will not let it go not even to you"
"Mother this Sesshomaru had no time to waste, the stone" he said and he placed his hand on his sword
The demoness raised an eyebrow and smirked "willing to fight your old defenseless mother for it, this must be important "
He nodded in response, he knows his mother well and even when she complains of been a old lady and defenseless he knew better, she is fearless and matched his father's power or more, not only that he had inherited his magic from her side of the family and his mother had centuries of practice over him, she was also clairvoyant.
"Where is the human girl?" She asked
"This Sesshomaru intends to find out" Sesshomaru answered
"You lost her, I see...the well and time has taken her from you my son and there is only one way to get her back but you must make a sacrifice" she said seriously
Sesshomaru didn't respond his jaw tightened just thinking about his mistake for leaving Rin.
"Follow me" his mother said standing a gate opened and she walked thru it and he followed, the gate taking them to her personal studio.
They stood in front of a mirror as she chanted ancient words and a cloud vanished their reflection and then an image of Rin laying in a futon crying, then failing down the well, her been in different places in a different world, her dress in weird clothing, a old man he had never seen sitting next to her reading a scroll, a young man bringing her more papers (books) and Rin looking at them, her been in a kimono again dancing, playing a instrument and serving tea. The images vanished and their reflections appeared again.
"The girl looked happy my son"
"Hn"
"You can stay here and watch over her and make your decision, once you decide we'll procede" his mother said and left him .
And that he did, he continued to observe her for days, she seemed to have adapted to her new world but her eyes said different, the brightness the light was missing. The fact the she kept looking at the sky and going to the well made something inside tightened.
" have you decided?" His mother asked entering the room after a few days
"Hn"
"I see, you are your father's son in that way... like I said there is a way but there are complications"
He nodded for her to proceed.
She walked to a shelf and her fingers touched several scrolls
"Are you looking for this" Sesshomaru took the scroll out from his sleeve
"That is part of it but we also need this and hmmm this one" she grabbed a few things and placed them in the low table gesturing her son to take a sit.
"I'll start by explaining some history of the bone eater's well, I was told by my ancestors that before no demon will dare go close to it but as time passed the well was forgotten and now few know about it. The well was made by the goods when the goods and demons shared this world in the same plane. The Gods been powerful ruled the world, and the well was used to dispose of rabid demons and the ones that refused to follow the gods rules, they were punished by been vanished thru the well. When the big war between the gods and demons, the corpses, bones or whatever was left of the demons where disposed there. The Gods decided to live in a different plane then and left the demons and humans to live here. The well was sealed until demons tried to extinguish human kind, the gods interfered and gave humans powers and weapons to fight us and the well was active again and was left to the humans to use. The Gods have always liked humans and will not allow them to be extinguished, so know this my son there must be an equilibrium between demons and humans if the balance tilts to one side the gods will be back to this plane to even the difference. After the Gods gave power to the humans, the rumors started that humans were traveling to the celestial plane where only gods live to obtain this power and demons been greedy of power tried to get to the celestial plane" she paused "demons are not allowed to travel thru the well, the few that had tried and succeeded and have been able to come back had said they were lost in limbo and most of them had lost their memory for a period of time. According to some scrolls of the monks in the sacred mountains and ancient demon researchers the well is selective of those that travel thru it and there is always a reason for it to work, it was said that the well has a mind of its own" she signaled a different scroll.
Sesshomaru noticed that the text had been altered several times,the writing starting in ancient languages, Chinese and ending in hiragana, she took the scroll back and started reading
"Here you can read that there was a few premonitions about the well, all of them come from my family the first one is about the reincarnation of a powerful priestess that would come from the well to save the world from ending, that same premonition mention a half demon been able to travel thru it due to his link to the priestess and his human next one talks about a girl from the past lost in the future " she kept unrolling the scroll and her eyes slightly widen and looked at her son and a microscopic smile appeared on her face skipping a part of the text.
" The next one talks of the exception the well will make when the time comes to keep the balance in the world by allowing demons to escape the religion that could exterminate us. Another talks about the guardians and protectors of the well... humans are powerful in their own way my son , not the same way that demons are but learn to never to underestimate them. Your father thought me that" she said and handed him the ink and paper
He grabbed the brush and proceeded to write a letter to himself.
"You will need help to activate the well, where is yours father's other son?" She asked and placing her hand on top of the letter his son finished writing dropping a drop of blood and then standing to leave the room.
He took the letter and hid it, with no communication he stood and followed his mother out of the room, giving a last look at the mirror to see Rin dancing.
' This Sesshomaru promises to get you back ' he said and turned in to a white light to follow his mother
*****at the village *****
"Inuyasha stop complaining!" Kagome shouted
"That was a waste of time, we were there for days just to read about idiots trying to activate the well and get stuck there. Symbols that had no meaning and words that are so old even the monks couldn't decipher" he huffed and then shoved some noodles into his mouth
"Have you no heart Inuyasha! What if Rin is stuck there, in the nothing?! How are we getting her out? Huh?" Kagome said upset, tears started running down her cheeks, not only hers but their pups started to cry also.
Inuyasha's ears flattened seen his upset mate and pups. Dinner was silent after that until a familiar scent reached his nose and he exited their home and ran toward the direction of the scent.
"Why are you here bastard?!" Inuyasha shouted
"So this one is my mate and the human princess son" Sesshomaru's mother said going around Inuyasha looking at him curiously "big resemblance to InuTashio, and those are interesting " she said touching his ears that flickered at her touch
"Hey lady! Don't touch the ears!" Inuyasha shouted and jumped back to avoid her touch
"Sesshomaru! Why are you here? And why bring her here with you ?" Inuyasha placing his hand on his sword ready to attack
"Inuyasha ! Stop it! " Kagome shouted at her mate and then to her brother in law "Sesshomaru have you found something about Rin?"
"His mate and pups" Sesshomaru's mother stated, she sniffed "interesting choice of mate and the pups are quarter pups but their demon blood is strong and they have spiritual powers" she looked at her dead husband son " you should be proud "
Inuyasha nodded and Kagome flushed.
"Miko my son is too proud to ask for your help so this one has come here to do that for him, for the sake of my son and our clan we need to get my son's destined mate back before is too late. As part of the guardian family of the well you are able to allow passage, this old woman asks for your help to get her back?"
"My lady we will help in all we can but the information we obtained at the monastery is limited and there some we were unable to read " Kagome responded
"That won't be a problem for me, please show them to this one" Sesshomaru's mother said
They walked to their home and Kagome gave the scrolls and went to make tea.
"Hmmm we need a few things to perform the spell. Good thing I came prepared " she said getting a tiny pouch from he obi.
Kagome looked at the small pouch wondering what could fit there while serving the tea.
Inuyasha looked intrigued about it and didn't let his eyes wondered from it.
"We need this and this, oh! And we can't forget this, very important " the mother said getting things out
"I could have use one of those back when we traveled " Kagome said to her husband, amazed that so much was stored in that tiny pouch and she had to carry a huge and heavy backpack back then.
"Yeah" Inuyasha said.
"Oh this thing, a traveler's pack, very common thing" the lady explained
"I never seen one before" Kagome said, Inuyasha agreed
"Well things change and this one hasn't been out much so possibly is not as common as before. This one will gift you one as a thank you for your assistance" she said still getting things out
"Oh that is not necessary, we want Rin back. We are willing to help" Kagome said
***with Rin***
She was still waiting for all the performances to be completed, she was getting inpatient but knew by just the people that this event was important.
"Higurashi-san time to take the stage" the coordinator assistant said she nodded and followed the assistant
She heard her name and she took the stage, listening to the music she started her dance ... a shiver went down her back and she wasn't sure if it was her imagination or her inner desires but she was sure she had heard her lords voice as a faint whisper "This Sesshomaru promises to get you back "
She smiled sadly and closed her eyes and continued dancing ... she wished to see him again were her thoughts before she focused again on her dance.
To be continued...
