Yasashiku and Suki went back on their journey. Suki kept staring at the young half demon that has captured her heart, wondering what was on his mind. But at the moment she couldn't tell what was going through his head. So many things could be going on in his mind right now, but she wasn't sure what it could be at the moment. Suki calmly asked "something wrong Yasashiku?" He shook his head as he said "no, I'm fine... I was just thinking about what I'll do once Riku and Naraku are dead."
Suki had been wondering about that as well. What were they going to do once the battle was over? Ok sure, the Wind Tunnel would be gone. But what would happen to Yasashiku? What would happen to Suki? Would they survive the final battle? Or would they die? Suki took a glance at the young half demon from the corner of her eye. She was wondering what was on his mind. But at the moment Suki couldn't tel from his expression. Sighing to herself she decided to let this go for now.
There was no way to tell what the future holds. But at the moment no one did. Suki was brought out of her thoughts by the sound of groaning. When she faced Yasashiku she saw that he had one side of his face covered by his hand. The very side of his face where the scar was. Suki calmly asked "are you ok Yasashiku?" He nodded as he said with a pain filled voice "yeah, I'll be alright. Just give it a few minutes." And just as he said, a few minutes past and he stopped groaning in pain. Suki of course was glad that the pain went away.
She couldn't stand it when he was in pain. Because- well could you really blame her? She loves him. Yasashiku sat down by a tree and calmly said "let's take a break here. The sun is starting to set, so we should stop for a rest. Alright?" Suki nodded, she knew that he was tired. And that tonight was the night of the new moon. Not really the best time to be walking at the moment. With the curse still placed on him Yasashiku would become a full demon and attack, instead of becoming a full human.
It was almost impossible for him to control that feeling within himself. Every demon has the inner desire to kill, to feel the blood of a human on their claws. But Yasashiku wanted nothing to do with it. Never wanting to feel the blood on his claws. So he always disappeared at night on the night of the new moon so he wouldn't harm any human. Mostly risking Suki's safety was the least of the things he wanted to do.
Suki stared at Yasashiku ashe was drawing something in his book. She knew that he must have been drawing something that ment alot to him. Of course Suki hasn't seem what was in his sketch bookfor a long time. Well not since after they first met and after the night of the one new moon they had. It always made her curious about what was in the book. Even though she has seen what was in it once. But other than that he's never shown her what were in them. Was he shy about showing people his work? Or did he just not like to show people at all?
It was so confusing. No matter what, she'll never understand how he thinks. Or what he feels. Suki was brought out of his thoughts when Yasashiku calmly asked "um... Suki... Would... would... you like to... uh... look at... my sketch book...? I mean... if you want of course... It doesn't mean I'm letting you see it cause I want you too. But I just can't stand to see you mop all the time just from not seeing it." Suki couldn't believe her ears. Even though he was trying to sound like he didn't want her to see his drawings, she knew that he was showing her them out of the kindness of his heart.
Than Yasashikuwalked over to Suki, and handed her the sketch book. Once she grabbed it from his hands she started to look through it. But since she already saw some of the old drawings she started to look through the new ones. All of the new ones didn't look finished. It was with a girl, but her face wasn't done. In fact there were many parts of the girl that were missing... Why didn't he finish these? When she was about to ask, Yasashiku calmly said "the pictures weren't finished cause they didn't suit the subject of the drawing. I want to bring out the person's inner beauty, but I cannot for I just can't seem to understand that person."
Suki could only blush. Was that how he drew? By looking past the outer look and went for what was on the inside? It could be possible... But at the moment it was hard to say... Sadly though, her thoughts didn't last long for she heard some strange sound. It almost sounded like someone was groaning in pain. And that it was right next to her. When Suki turned around she saw Yasashiku covering his eye again. But this time it was like the pain was a lot worse.
Why was the pain bad? Why did the scar cause him great pain? Was there more to the curse than either of them knew? Yasashiku was screaming in pain. This of course made Suki worry, and panic. Why was he feeling this great amount of pain? Normally a demon couldn't feel pain. But what ever it was, it might be strong enough to cause pain to a demon. Hell the pain might be strong enough to kill a human. Suki couldn't stand to see Yasashiku in this kind of pain. It was just unbearable.
She had to help him some how. But the thing is how can she help him? Than Suki saw that he was standing, and was now growling. Right now his growling was scary. It could give even the coldest of demons the chills(for example, The Ice King himself Sesshumaru, aka Lord Fluffy)
Yasashiku's eyes were flashing from a bright gold, to a dark blood thirsty red. Could it be possible that the curse was slowly taking over his human sanity? All Yasashiku could do was growl, trying to gain control. This couldn't be because of the new moon. For there is still light out. the sun hasn't fully set and the moon didn't come up yet. Just what is going on!? Suki calmly asked "are you going to be alright?"
Yasashiku stared at the scared girl. He could plainly see the fear in her eyes. But she wasn't scared of him, no... She was scared for him. The fear she felt right now was the fear of losing him. Suki... only wanted him to be alright. But that didn't look like it was going to happen if he was like this. Suki stood up and asked in a calm soothing voice "Yasashiku... Are you going to be alright?"
He moved away from her as he said in a rough voice "Suki... You have... to stay away... I... I can't control... myself... I... I have to... leave... Don't you... dare follow me..." With that said, he ran off. Far away from Suki... never to return to her. Yasashiku would rather lose all of his sanity than let harm come to Suki. Suki wasn't going to let this just happen! No! She was going to find Yasashiku, and help him! NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES!
A whole month has passed since Suki had started her search for Yasashiku. And yet, no luck in finding him. None at all. As she walked down the path, she saw something. No, not something, someone!Than she ran to the man, that was on the road. Suki calmly asked "are you still alive?" With that said the man lifted his head. When she looked at his face, it was like his body, covered in demon claw marks. Deep cuts, were all over this man's body. This made no sense, unless... a demon had attacked his village.
The man stared at Suki with his dull lifeless eyes. This ment that he was so close to death. And there was nothing she could do about it at all. He slowly/weakly said "a demon... attacked my village... he had spiky silver hair, blood red eyes, and a scar..." Suki than took a guess as she said "a claw scar on his left eye?"
The man nodded as he said "yes... he did... He came to the village... a few days ago... And slaughtered everyone... I managed... to escape... but... I won't make it... I only... had the strength... to tell... you all... of this... Please... avenge my people..." With that said, the man's eyes had finally dulled to lifeless, no life was left in him as his head hit the ground. Suki now knew where Yasashiku was. He was in the next village, that wasn't too far from where she was.
Maybe this was her chance to find him, that is... if he stayed in the village long enough. All she could do was hope, hope that he stayed in the village and so she could save him. Now, Suki ran toward the village. She wasn't going to kill Yasashiku of course... after all she just couldn't bring herself to do it... She loves him more than life itself...
When she arrived at the village, there was nothing left of it. There were bodies scattered everywhere. Blood has been spilled, covering the ground. This was just a sickening sight to see. As she walked through the forest, Suki yelled out "YASASHIKU! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Before she could tell that there was no one around, there was a loud crash.
Being curiousSuki ran to where the crash had came from, but when she arrived there... Well let's just say that what ever she saw was shocking. Standing there, with his back facing her. Even though she couldn't see his face, it was easy to tell that it was Yasashiku... His aura though, was very different to Suki. Just... just what happened to him? Did something horrible happened after he disappeared?
But the thing that caused fear to appear in her eyes was when he turned around, facing Suki with blood red eyes. Those red eyes she's feared were staring right at her. The desire to kill were in those crimson red eyes of his. Just staring at them made her fear for her life. What caused this to happen to- Wait... the scar... It must have had a second part of the curse! IT'S CAUSING THIS! (no shit there Sherlock, sorry had to put that there)
Than Riku appeared by Yasashiku's side. Suki glared at him as she screamed out "WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM!?" Riku could only laugh as he said "I didn't do anything... Well years ago I did, but this was all thanks to the scar. You see there was more to the curse. It didn't just make him turn into a full demon at night. No... in due time he would become my slave. He now takes orders from me. Now if he were stronger than he wouldn't have been taken over so easily. But he's weak! But powerful enough to do my bidding."
Suki glared darkly at Riku as she said "you take that back! Yasashiku isn't weak! He's the strongest person I know! I may not have known him very long, and he's been hiding his hearts real feelings toward others... But I know that he's strong... He doesn't need to be strong in body, but in heart! The heart's strength is what counts! The heart is the strongest weapon of all! And I'll use my hearts strength to get Yasashiku back! I swear it!"
Riku could only laugh. To him this was just too funny! This girl thinks that she could save Yasashiku! That's a laugh! No one is more powerful than this curse! But defiantlynot a human! No human could ever break this curse! It's not possible! But the only thing that really bugged him was this girl. For Yasashiku should have been under his control long ago. But this girl, Suki has been stopping that. She's changed Yasashiku from a cold heartless demon to someone who wishes to protect... A person with a heart...
Riku just glared at Suki, as he said "Yasashiku! Get rid of this pest!" Just as Riku ordered, Yasashiku charged at Suki with a incrediblespeed. Suki tried to run, but it was no use. For Yasashiku has demon blood flowing through his veins. So he would be a lot faster. When her head wiped around to see if the now turned full demon was still chasing her, she saw nothing. No one was behind her. That made her relieved, but the thing is... Where did he go?
But when Suki looked forward, Yasashiku was standing before her, and swiped his claws at her face. She fell to her side, wincing in pain. She's never been attacked like this before. And boy did it HURT! All Suki could do was look up at Yasashiku. His once warm golden eyes were cold and blood thirsty. Just staring at those eyes, sent shivers up her spine. It scared her to see him like this. Riku walked up to them as he said with a smug smirk "don't you get it Suki. Demon's and humans should never be together... Yasashiku is going to prove this by killing you. Cause a human that falls for a demon will only die in the end. Yasashiku, KILL HER!"
With that said, Yasashiku picked up Suki by her neck, closing all air to her lungs. There was nothing she could do to save him anymore... She was going to die by the one she loves with all her heart and soul. Tears started to fall from her eyes. All she could say was "Yasashiku... I... I..." But before she could finish, her eyes closed. As her breathing had stopped. Showing no signs of living anymore...
A single tear, fell from Suki's now closed eye and hit Yasashiku's scar. His eyes widen, almost as if he could feel strange sacred energy within that single tear. The tear sank down into the scar, going straight to his now frozen soul. Once the tear hit the ice, that in cased his soul. The ice shattered. His soul looked around, wondering what was going on.
But there was a faint voice saying "Yasashiku, the curse that was placed on you is now broken. You don't have to worry about it anymore... You no longer turn full demon on the night of the new moon. You won't be under Yasashiku's control." Yasashiku calmly said "Suki..."
Than another voice said gently "she's right... There's nothing you can fear anymore!"
"Mom..."
"That's right! Kick that Riku guy's ass! Give him a little something for me will ya? After all you are my son... And I'm proud of you."
"Dad... I promise... I'll bring you all back! I'll stop Riku and Naraku once and for all! I swear it!" Said a confident Yasashiku. With that said, Yasashiku had finally come around. But what he saw... really caused fear to show in his eyes. "SUKI!" Screamed the young half demon. Riku glared at Yasashiku as he said "so you broke free have you? Oh well, like it matters anyway. You can't kill me!" Yasashiku placed Suki down as he said "your wrong. I can kill you. The curse you placed on me has been broken thanks to Suki. Her heart is the most purest thing I've ever seen in my entire life. And for that I'll always envy her cause my heart was once like hers. But... YOU took that away when you killed my parents. And for that... I'll kill you!"
With that said, he grabbed his twin blades and did something that's never been done before. He held the swords high, than slammingthem together to form one single blade. Riku stared at the sword in amazement. One side of the sword was blue, the other side was the demonic red. How he fused the swords together is hard to say. But what was known was that this sword was very powerful. Yasashiku glared at Riku as he said "you make me sick Riku! You killed my parents, gave me a curse, made me into a heartless bastered! Than you control me making me harm the one person that means more to me than my own life! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!!!"
With that said Yasashiku ran toward Riku as he screamed both out of rage and guilt. Rage, for all of the things that Riku has put him through, and guilt for not protecting Suki like he had promised. If he defeated Riku soon than there was a chance to save Suki. But that was only a slim chance. But a chance all the same. Riku was able to dodge all of the strikes, just barley.
For some how all of this rage has caused Yasashiku to gain speed. Maybe it wasn't his rage that caused it, maybe it was the human blood that was flowing through his veins and his desire to protect Suki was giving him strength and speed. Yes, it is true that when a human has someone they have to protect that their power grows to new points. Yasashiku may have demon blood flowing in his veins that gives him his strange powers but his human blood... it gives him even more strength when he protects someone...
How that is, no one can say. Riku... he just couldn't believe on how much stronger the young half demon became. It just wasn't possible. He calmly said "so maybe killing that girl was the right thing to do. You're much more powerful now that she's gone." Yasashiku laughed as he said "it isn't because you got me to try to kill Suki... No... it's beyond that... My desire to protect the one person that means something to me is what is giving me my strength. You couldn't understand for you have no one to protect. You should know that humans are arrogant and greedy, right? That is true, but I'm part human which means I refuse to give up! When a human has someone he's gotta protect his power grows! I have what it takes to destroy you! All thanks to both my parents and for Suki! DIVINE STRIKE!"
Than he took a swing of his blade, slicing Riku in half. Riku... he didn't survive the attack of course which ment that the curse that was once on Yasashiku was gone. Suki really did free him from the curse. Speaking of Suki. Yasashiku ran to the fall girl. He bent down to listen to her heart beat, it was still there just barley. So he placed his hands on her chest.(not in a perverted way! so don't even think about it!) He starts to count as he pumped for her heart beat to get stronger.
Than after a few seconds he breathed air into her lungs, hopefully that it would help her to breath easier. After a few minutes of doing the same thing, Suki started to cough gasping for breath. Once her vision cleared she saw Yasashiku with a huge smile on his face. It was bright enough to lit the darkest of nights. She calmly said "Yasashiku... you're alright?" He nodded as he said "yeah... thanks to you Suki... You broke the curse... I avenged my parents... Now the final battle can really start. Naraku is the last battle... But I won't make you go just yet... You need your rest... You rest and I'll take you to the next village to heal, after that we'll go straight to Naraku alright?"
With that said Suki nodded, than fell asleep. Everything was almost perfect. Riku was dead, Inuyasha and Kagome were avenged, Yasashiku's curse has been lifted and finally... his heart was no longer in cased in ice. It was normal again, he was back to his old self the same like he was before Inuyasha and Kagome were killed. Nothing could ruin this moment... nothing...
