Chapter 5: Akebi and Ayame Village
We arrived in Akebi Village and everything seemed fine. The villagers were laughing and smiling. They were doing there work. No problems unlike the last village. I guess everyone's doing okay here. So what do we do now?
"Well should we start asking questions?" I asked everyone
"Yes, that would be a good idea. Everyone split up and meet back here in 15 minutes okay?" Miroku told as everyone separated into different directions of the village.
I walked up the street. This was the only direction not taken by someone else. I looked around the houses and smiled when I saw two men discussing something. I went up to the two men and they gave me a disgusted look.
"What?" One man angrily asked me
"Sorry to disturb you, but have you heard of a evil demon named Naraku?" I asked them as they shook there heads at me
"Well thank you anyways." I said as I turned away from them.
I walked up the street a little more. I saw a women walking down the street with her little child. I walked up to her as the child hid behind her leg.
"Sorry to bother you ma'am but I was wondering if you have heard of a demon named Naraku?" I asked her
"Sorry, I can't say that I have." She replied as I nodded to her
"Thank you. Have a nice day." I said to her as I walked past her.
I walked up the street and sighed. I hope the others are having better luck than I am. It seems like nobody knows…Maybe they are just oblivious to what is happening around them. I sighed again as I looked up at a man standing in the middle of the street.
He had long black hair that was tied into a high ponytail. Pushing his bangs back was a light brown fur headband. He had blue eyes and this silly smirk on his face. He had pointed ears, just like me. He wore a black and grey chest plate. On his shoulders were light brown fur patches. Starting at his waist was a skirt…wow…Anyways it was a light brown furred skirt. He had a sword that was in between this skirt and his chest plate. It ended before his knees. He had a light brown tail that looked kind of like a wolf's tail. Below his knees were light brown furred boots that had no foot part to them. He had his bare feet showing but bandages were wrapped around the base of the foot.
I blinked my eyes a bit but smiled. Maybe he will know. It would be better to ask another demon about a demon. He must of heard of Naraku. I walked up to him. He turned his gaze to me and his smile disappeared.
"Who the hell are you? What do you want?" He demandingly asked me
"I'm Yune. I was just wondering if you heard of a demon name Naraku?" I asked him as his eyes widened
"What if I have?"
"Do you have any information on him?"
"That's none of your business."
"Why not? It's not like I'm asking you your personal life."
"Just back off."
"No. Answer the question."
"No."
"Why do you care so much?"
"Because I'm going to be the one to kill Naraku."
"…Really now?"
"Yes, do you doubt?"
"Extremely. I already know who's going to kill him. And it's completely not a worthless demon like you."
"What was that?"
"Kagome and the others are way more experienced than you are."
"K-Kagome's here?"
"…Yes? Why?"
"Take me to her, and I'll tell you all about Naraku."
"…"
I stayed silent a bit. Why did this demon want to see Kagome? What was his main reasoning for this? Well, if he does try to kill Kagome, I'll kill him…And if not I'm sure her boyfriend, Inuyasha will. What's the harm in seeing what information this demon has on Naraku?
"Fine, follow me." I said as he smiled.
We walked down the street together. Maybe I could just ask him why he wants to see her…
"Why do you wish to see Kagome?" I asked him as he gave me an annoyed look.
"That's none of your concern." He replied
"Tell me or I won't take you to her."
"I can easily pick up her scent."
I stopped walking and went in front of him. I put a hand on my sword and gave him a glare. He starred at me. I smiled as I thought of punching him. He quite annoys me.
"Well than you will have to get through me to see her. Now would you like to avoid a pointless battle? Or continue with this?" I told him
"…Kagome's my wife." He replied
"Ha…Haha! Yeah right!"
"What's so funny?"
"Your just in love with her, there is a huge difference."
"Why do you protect her?"
"She is my best friend! I will not let you get in the way of her life…nor her love."
"…What?"
"…You really don't understand girls at all do you?"
"Of course not I am a man!"
"…And men are P-A-T-H-E-T-I-C…pathetic."
"…Just bring me to Kagome."
"Yeah, yeah what ever…"
"Koga."
"Huh?"
"Name's Koga."
"Well kind of late on the introductions Koga."
We made it to the gate. I saw everyone there waiting for me. Inuyasha pulled out his sword and it grew larger as always. I knew it…Inuyasha hates him. Koga went up to Kagome and held her hands ever so gently. I almost barfed in my mouth as did Inuyasha.
"Kagome…It's been so long." He said to her.
"Oh Koga…W-What a pleasant surprise." Kagome shockingly replied.
"How have you been?"
"G-G-Good…"
"I hope this mutt!" he said as he looked at Inuyasha and then back to Kagome. "Has kept you safe…" he continued
"Whoa, okay Koga. You said you'd tell me about Naraku…" I told Koga interrupting his reunion.
"Screw off. It ain't happening. That's my information and mine only. I told you before I'm going to kill Naraku. Now why don't you just bugger off kid." Koga replied to me
I closed me eyes and I knew the anger was boiling in me. Okay, now I hate him. That liar! How dare he? I opened my eyes and I saw everyone but Koga- due to the fact that he was turned towards Kagome- gasp. I did not know why they did but it didn't matter. I cracked my knuckles and walked up to Koga. I punched him in the side of the face and he went flying into the ground.
Kagome looked at me and grabbed me by the arm. I turned to her and she gasped again.
"What?" I heard my voice growl.
"Y-Y-Yune…" Kagome said as I gave her a confused look.
"What? He deserved it. He lied! I hate liars!" I growled again as my eyes shot back at him.
He sat up and starred at my eyes. His eyes widened at this. Why is everyone afraid of my eyes? He stood up and began to walk over to me.
"Why is everyone giving me this look?" I asked as the growling stopped in my voice.
"Bitch!" Koga said as he punched me in the face and I went down to the ground.
"Koga!" Kagome yelled at him as he gave her a puzzled look.
"She was disturbing our time Kagome." Koga told her as I held my face.
"Koga! How could you!" Kagome said as she knelt down to me
"Yune are you okay?" Kagome asked me as I looked at her.
"Y-Yes…I am fine…" I told her as she than gave a sigh but than her worry turned into anger.
"Why would you punch Koga?" She yelled at me as I began to feel very small.
"W-W-Well…I…I just…" I began
"You just what?"
"…He lied…"
"What?"
"He told me that if I took him to see you he'd tell me about Naraku! Which he didn't. And I'm not going to apologize to him! You can like him as a friend all you want but I refuse to apologize since he needs to apologize to me."
"Koga how-"
"Sorry Kagome, I have to go. Good-bye." Koga said as he disappeared into a gust of wind.
"Bastard!" I screamed at the wind as Kagome helped me up the ground.
"So you are alright Yune?" Kagome asked
"Yes, I am fine. Thank you." I told her as we looked at each other
"Well besides Koga, did anyone find any information on Naraku?" I asked everyone
"I did, they said that in Ayame village there is a large castle. A man told me that his son went there to deliver goods but he never came back. He said that he heard rumors that evil demons were taking over the castle. He also happened to mention a woman named Kagura." Miroku said as everyone but me gasped.
"Who's Kagura?" I asked
"Kagura is Naraku's incarnation." Kagome told me.
"Well that is a good thing, let's go." I replied as everyone nodded.
I began walking until I felt a hand come upon my shoulder. I turned around and saw Inuyasha starring at me. I gave him a confused look as he smiled at me.
"Way to go with Koga." Inuyasha rooted for me as I laughed
"No problem, besides I'm rooting for you Inuyasha." I said as he blushed at what I was hinting at.
"Now come on, let's go to this village shall we?" I said as he smiled at me.
We than left Akebi village and headed on ward to Ayame village. Perhaps this will be able to help Inuyasha's group.
(Time passed)
We all decided that it would have been a good idea to rest before we got to Ayame village. That and it was already dark. I laid down on the ground. I had my back turned to the fire. I was just about to fall asleep when I heard the other awake members talking.
"Should we tell her?" I heard Sango ask
"No, I doubt she even realized what was going on." Kagome told them
"That was creepy." Shippo told everyone
"Yeah what was with her eyes? Her eyeballs were dark blue and her eyes were actually a dark red color…was she in a demon form?" Miroku asked
"No, I think she was just so angry that it may have unlocked some of her demon power." Inuyasha explained
"That was scary…" Shippo told them
"Now, we know Yune wouldn't hurt us." Sango said
"Than again remember with Inuyasha, when his sword gets kicked away. He turns into a demon…and can't control it. She may as well hurt us one day." Miroku told
"Yune would stop that…right?" Kagome asked
"Who knows…" Sango said.
I felt the tears stream down my face. They…were scared of me…
(time passed)
I woke up that morning. I turned around and saw that everyone was getting up and was getting ready. I stayed quiet as I stood up. I didn't feel like saying anything, after what I heard last night…I couldn't.
"Ready Yune?" Kagome asked me as I nodded.
We continued to walk on, towards Ayame village.
(time passed)
When we arrived I gasped at the sight that I saw. Bodies lied down on the ground everywhere I looked. This can't be happening. I looked at the torn up houses. I felt the creepy aura that this place had and it made my body shake.
We walked up the street and all of a sudden, Inuyasha's sword began to rattle. Inuyasha held onto his sword and he looked to the left. Everyone turned their backs to me. I could…run to the right…And leave them alone. They wouldn't have to feel scared anymore…They could…be free of a burden like me…
"Sesshomaru." I heard Inuyasha say.
I looked to the left and blushed hard when I did. I saw a tall man with long silver hair. He had a purple crescent moon on his head and two pink scars on each cheek. He had deep yellow eyes, just like Inuyasha. He wore a white kimono that had red parts to it. He wore a black armor that ended at the middle of his thighs. After his waist the armor split up into different parts. He had some sort of white fluffy cloud on his right shoulder. On his left shoulder the armor went around the shoulder and had spikes on it. He had a yellow and purple ribbon tied at his waist. He had two swords that were tucked in neatly into his ribbon. One that looked like her never used and that was in a nice sheath. While the other sword looked worn out and had no sheath at all. He wore black tight shoes.
Beside him was a small demon that had green skin. He had large yellow eyes that had a thin line for the pupil. He wore a small brown hat and held a staff that had two heads at the top of it. He wore a brown kimono top and light brown boy pants. He wore black tight shoes.
I looked back at the tall man and felt my cheeks heat up. He was hot. Like not just a little. And on a scale of 1-10 he was an 11. That's right off the scale. Well at least to me he was. I saw his eyes gaze at me and I looked away. Maybe he was looking at Inuyasha who was in front of me.
As hot as he was I felt the sadness of my comrades being scared of me come back to me. My eyes dropped to the ground as they began to converse with this 'Sesshomaru'. I looked behind me and saw that a huge mist covered the area…Well actually it covered every area. I just knew that if I went in there, they wouldn't even know I disappeared. They couldn't find me. Not like they would go after a scary demon anyways.
I turned back at them to see them still concentrated on Sesshomaru. I took a step back and realized that I would have to travel this world alone once I left…But after hearing that people are frightened by you…maybe it's for the best that I stay away from any human contact.
I took another step back and felt my breathing get heavier. I was clearly upset about this. It wasn't something I was looking forward to but for them I'll do it. I looked up at them and smiled. I saw Sesshomaru's eyes stare at me as I disappeared into the mist. This time I knew…I knew he was looking at me.
I ran down the street looking for maybe a way to get out of this stupid town. I smiled when I saw a wooden suspension bridge to my left. I began to walk across it. Suddenly leaving them didn't seem so bad, like I knew in my heart it was the right thing to do. Besides they didn't need me. I'd just be holding them down.
I heard a crack and screeched. I felt my right leg fall and I looked back as my body hit the wood. I saw that my entire right leg was now through the wooden bridge. I felt my heart sank as I heard another crack. I knew what was coming but I couldn't manage a scream.
I felt my numb body falling down. I could see the bridge getting further and further away. My eyes didn't move. For some reason, I was in such shock that I couldn't manage to move. I felt the cold water hit my body. My body shook out of the shock and I tried to swim up to the surface but I was getting pushed away by the large current. I felt my head whack against something hard and my eyes dropped.
