I felt generous so here's another chapter! But this is it! No more today! LOL
After the demon finally stopped burning, as I sat there on the ground, looking up at the night sky, I heard someone walk up.
"Miss Meyome?"
I look over to her, "Are you ok Rin?" I ask while pulling her into a hug.
"You lied to that demon."
"Hmm?"
She pushed away a bit and looked at me, "You told him the only one you're worried about is yourself. But you rushed here to save me."
I smiled, "You're right. But I couldn't let him know that. He was the kind of demon who would've taken a cheap shot at you if he had known, but telling him I was driven by revenge he probably thought I didn't care if you lived or died as long as I got him. In fact that was the farthest from the truth. If you had gotten killed I didn't know what I would've done." I said pulling her back into a hug.
"So what are you going to do now?" Sesshomaru asked in his normal cold demeanor.
"Well I'm going to keep Honno Honnodiu. By letting me even pull it from the sheath I know it has accepted me."
"Really?" Rin looked confused, "How do you know?"
"Well, when other men would ask to borrow Honno Honnodiu they were never able to pull it from its sheath. The only other people who were able to pull the sword from its sheath was my Mama when Papa was really sick, and then Aki-nii when Papa was training him."
"Cool!" she exclaimed.
After everything was done and over with we all went to bed.
For 6 more months I traveled with Sesshomaru, Rin and the annoying imp, Jaken. At that point I decided I was going to go check on the shrine maiden, Kaede. Rin was sad, but let me go. Sesshomaru didn't say a word when I left, which was a little saddening.
I left the group and made my way back to Kaede's village. I made it in about 2 months. We were farther away from her village than I thought. I was now 19. When I stepped into town some of the vendors recognized me right away and started shouting 'Meyome's back' causing Lady Kaede to come out of her hut. She was followed by a group of people two of them I recognized.
"Songo! Kilala!" I hollered while running towards them. Kilala grew in size and ran to me nuzzling my face. After a quick chat with Songo she looked at Honno Honnodiu.
"Meyome, that's not the sword we gave you when you left. Where did you get it?" Songo asked.
"I got it from my home." I said with a small smile.
"So you (ye) returned to your village?" both Kaede and Songo asked.
After a chuckle I said, "Yes, but trust me it wasn't intentionally. When I got there, everyone had been put in his or her own graves. And something that belonged to them draped on their grave markers.
"It really wasn't that hard to do since they had the stuff on them when we found them." A man that looked a bit like Sesshomaru spoke up, except he was a half demon and had dog-ears on top of his head.
"So it was you people that buried them?"
"Yea we figured it would give them peace." A monk spoke up.
"Even I helped!" a tiny fox demon piped up.
"Thank you… all of you." I smiled.
"I didn't know that was Tsuona." Songo said.
"I was worried when we first got there, all of the spirits were severely distressed, especially three of them. All of the others calmed down after we laid them to rest, but the three stayed distressed." The monk said looking at me.
"I was just shocked that there was a half demon among them. So close to a priestess no less. Also there was the small half demon." A girl with black hair and odd garb spoke.
"The priestess and the half demon were married. The young half demon was their oldest son." I said with a very melancholy expression.
"Wha?!" everyone except Songo and Kaede shouted.
"Wait how the hell would you know that?" the half demon,he then caught a glimpse of my sword, "Wait a minute! That's the sword we put on his grave! You damn grave robber!" he says as he pulls out his sword. The dingy POS* transforming into a magnificent spectacle.
I smile, "Let me guess Totosai forged that blade too."
"You know Totosai?" the odd garbed girl asked.
"I was very small but yes." I said pulling out Honno Honnodiu. "He also forged this blade. How come all of the blades I've seen from him are in the hands of half demons?"
The half demon sneered.
"Wait I take that back… Tensaiga is in the hands of a full demon." I say looking up and to the side.
"You know Sesshomaru?" the half demon looked a little shocked.
I glared, "What the hell is your business with him."
"Sesshomaru is Inuyasha's brother, Meyome!" Songo shouted out.
"Wait. Inuyasha? I recognize that name. Sesshomaru mentioned it every now and again, but not without a tone of resentment and hatred."
"What is a human doing with a demon blade?"
I smirked, "I'm only majority human, I do have a little bit of demonic blood, I get it from my father."
Inuyasha attacked.
"Kagome, you have to stop Inuyasha!" Lady Kaede tells the girl.
"Inuyasha, SIT!" Kagome yells.
Inuyasha slams into the ground, "Honno Honnodiu!" once again the dragon comes to my side. "Wrap 'im" I say with a smirk. The dragon flies over to Inuyasha and wraps him up in his tail.
"Meyome stop!" Kaede yells.
"Inuyasha you have to understand! Meyome isn't a grave robber! She's the lone survivor of that village and the daughter of the priestess and the demon! That how she knows!" Songo shouts.
"What?!" he exclaims.
"Yep…" I confirm Songo's words, while signaling the dragon to release him.
After I was introduced to the others, Kaede brought me into her hut, poured me a cup of tea, and told me to tell the tales of my journey, which I did. I asked Songo how her father and brother were doing and she told me that her entire village had been slaughtered by a hoard of demons, led by someone named Naraku.
"Lady Kaede," I said standing up.
"What is it Meyome?" she asked.
"Is that hut still open?"
She smiled, "Yes, and our offer still stands. If ye wish to stay there ye may."
"Then I shall. When I'm not traveling with Songo and her friends I'll stay here in the village. And then every year, the week the attack happened, I'll go home and stay there for the week."
"Why are you coming with us?" Inuyasha huffed.
"Because, Songo's father, was like a second father to me after I lost mine. I won't forgive this Naraku guy, and let my hatred keep me going."
*POS- stands for 'Piece of Sh*t'
