When Yasha reached the other side he didn't know exactly what he was going to do. He climbed out of the well trying to get his barring. He knew that straight on would lead him to Sango and Miroku so he decided to go the opposite way. He didn't want to see anyone he knew nor anyone he didn't know. He strictly wanted to be alone. He walked along not knowing where he was or where he was going. He started to get scared as he thought of how he might be lost. He held on to the tetsuiga, hugging it with all he had. Somehow he felt very secure whenever this sword was with him.
Yasha then looked around; all there was around him was woods, nothing else. "Come on Yasha, you can do this." He whispered as he took in a deep breath. He just had to be strong and he could do this.
Before Yasha knew it he got tackled by something up in the trees before another something came up behind him and tackled him as well. "I got you so good!" the voice yelled. Yasha was on his back dazed from whatever just happened.
Yasha was confused he had never seen this figure before nor did he know the voice. He looked bewildered at the figure before him; the figure had the same looks as him. This figure had the same dog ears, the same type of nose, and the same looking claws but there was one difference, this figure was a girl.
"I think we hurt him." Another figure said bending over him.
Yasha looked up to see another figure also a girl but this one didn't look like them, he could tell she wasn't human but she also wasn't dog demon. "Who are you?" he asked the two girls.
"Oh my bad, I should introduce myself before tackling a stranger…I am Nashi and this is Masa." The girl with the dog ears said. "And who are you?"
"My name is Yasha." He said bewildered by these two.
"That's an odd name."
"Well it is my nickname." Yasha said brushing himself off.
"I see, alright well where is your family?" she asked looking around.
"I left them, I didn't like it there." Yasha said.
"Oh, a run away? Well you can come with us. My dad is strong and he makes sure everything goes as planned. He also has a soft spot for children like us!" Nashi said winking. "Or at least that's what my mom said."
"Alright!" Yasha said following the two girls, at least he had someone to go with. It was weird Nashi somehow smelt like him in a way but Masa didn't smell like her at all. "You guys aren't related." Yasha stated.
"No, we aren't. My mom died when she gave birth to me and my father died in war a month before I was born so Nashi's father took me in!" Masa stated proudly.
"Actually my mother took you in. My father wants nothing to do with you." The girl said smacking her friend playfully.
"It ain't my fault both parents are dead." The other girl yelled as she grabbed her shoulder.
"You were just lucky that I was born around the same time or else they wouldn't have taken you in."
Yasha followed the two playful girls watching them carefully. "Who are your fathers?" Yasha finally asked.
Nashi turned around, "if you don't know who my father is, you have trouble." The girl said acting very strong.
Masa on the other hand shook her head, "your dad isn't all that, he just makes himself seem that way."
"Masa, don't make fun of a man that raised you."
The two girls walked ahead laughing and giggling, Yasha just shook his head they didn't answer his question at all.
The two started to whisper back and forth, giggling, before Masa turned around, "So what's with the sword?" she asked pointing to the tetsuiga.
"It was my fathers." He whispered.
Nashi let out a nod, "Was? So your dad isn't alive anymore?"
"No."
Masa ran back to him as she enveloped him into a hug, "Finally! Someone else I can share the pain with." She yelled dramatically while she was hugging him.
Nashi ran up to her friend, "let him go, you are scaring him." she yelled to her friend while pushing her off.
"So Yash, you gunna slay something with that sword? Are you going to avenge your father?" Masa asked.
"First of all don't call me that and second of all....I don't know how my father really died." He told them, how dare someone he just met; call him Yash.
"But Yasha is such a blah name. Come on! It has to be short for something." Masa said punching his shoulder.
"It is short for my real name." he said bitterly.
"Then what's your real name?" she asked.
"Inuyasha."
"ooooh, Inuuuuuyaaaaaasha, such a scary name." she said sarcastically while laughing. "All will fear the one called…" she paused before turning to Nashi and yelling, "Inuyasha!" Nashi rolled on her back, laughing.
"What's so funny?" Yasha asked.
Nashi rolled her eyes and smacked her friend, "alright, here is the gist, never say that name."
"Why?" he asked.
"This forest here, named after a guy who was called that." Nashi said all knowingly.
"Oh, pick me, I know a better answer." Masa said jumping in the air with her hand waving back and forth, "Please pick me."
"Fine" Nashi said walking away shaking her head.
Masa was looking right at Yasha as she thought of what to say before saying everything in one breath, "Weeeell, I know a friend who was friends of a friend who knew their friend's cousin who was married to a friend's friend and when they found another friend that friend's aunt…"
"Just spit it out." Nashi yelled looking like she was about to smack the girl.
She sighed as she continued, "Well that friend's aunt…she knew a woman who knew the man that this forest was named after and she said that he destroyed a whole village before they could get their bows ready." She said in a spooky voice.
"Really?" Yasha asked interested.
"It was something like that…I could be paraphrasing." She said shrugging her shoulders.
"You are paraphrasing…a lot." Nashi yelled smacking the girl in the head.
Yasha rolled his eyes, these weren't the type of people he wanted to meet when he first got here, he whispered, "If I wanted to meet girls like this I would have joined a sports team."
"What was that?" the girls asked.
"Nothing." He said.
The three walked in silence for a while.
"So where are we going?" Yasha asked.
"Well Yasha, we are going to be stopped in five four three two…" a man walked in front of them "One!" then Nashi ran at the man in front of them throwing her arms around him. "We found a friend daddy!"
"Is that so?" he asked putting a harm gently on her back as she looked up at him.
"Yes!" she yelled, "Although he is really strange." She whispered. "I don't think he is from around here."
"Where have you been?" the man asked coldly.
"Masa and I went to ambush someone but the only person we could find was our friend, Yasha here."
"You." The man said coldly.
Yasha backed up, something about this guy didn't seem right.
The man's eyes got huge all of a sudden, "The tetsuiga?" he whispered. "You are the child."
"You guys met?" Masa asked looking at the two.
"I…I…I never met you. This is only my second time here." Yasha said backing up as the man came near him.
Nashi then yelled, "Daddy don't scare my new friend." She tugged at his pants as he walked closer to the kid.
Yasha kept backing up until his foot hit a rock and he tumbled back and landed on his butt. He closed his eyes as the man came closer. He then heard what seemed like a zapping noise and he looked to see the man backing up and the two girls standing in shock.
"Interesting." The man said as he tested the barrier with his hand.
"He went against you dad." Nashi said in awe.
"He is going to pay now." Masa whispered.
They all starred as Yasha had a small barrier around him which he refused to let down. He kept it there for sometime before getting faint as he started to pass out. He fell on his side still holding the tetsuiga.
"He is getting weak." The older man said, "Which means that he hasn't been training like I though he would be."
Yasha then fully passed out as he closed his eyes.
"Nashi." The man said as he walked over, picking Yasha up flopping him over his shoulder.
"Yes father?" Nashi asked as she stood straight up.
"Get the sword."
"Yes daddy." She said saluting him and then running up and picking up the sword. She unsheathed it to see that it was rusty. "Why would he carry this thing around? This couldn't slice anything."
"Don't underestimate it." the man said as he walked toward the camp site. "Go to your mother. Same for you Masa."
Masa ran ahead with Nashi leaving the man to walk behind with yasha draped over his shoulder. The only question this man had was 'Where was his mother?'
Yasha woke up to a headache. He felt like everything was drained out of him. "So you are awake?" a woman asked as she poked a fire.
"Where am I?" Yasha asked sitting up.
"Not surprising that you woke up so easily saying you are from his family."
"Who?"
"Sesshomaru, hun. Your uncle." The woman said still tending to the fire.
"I have an uncle?" he asked surprised.
The man that he saw earlier came out of the woods, "What else did that wench not tell you?" he asked as he threw some more wood on the ground."
"Wench?" Yasha asked.
"Your mother hun." The woman said. "He never liked your mom to much so ignore him." She shot a glare at him.
"Don't say who I never like."
"Don't give me that, Rin told me all about your little quarrels with your younger brother."
"Rin speaks too much." He whispered.
"I couldn't believe you didn't want her with you."
"She is getting to old to be walking around. She has a family to tend too."
"And I am…?"
"You are different."
The woman glared before turning back to Yasha, "So Sesshomaru told me that Inuyasha had a child. How is that sword working for you?" the woman said.
"I just got it." Yasha said as he grabbed the sword that was sitting next to him and held it close to him.
"I knew she couldn't be trusted. Tell a human to make sure they do something and they will go out and do the opposite." Sesshomaru said.
"Calm down, I am sure she did it for a reason. So what's it like being half demon? My girl doesn't mind but she also has someone else who she plays with."
"I don't know, I only found out what I was a few days ago." Yasha said.
"How was your mother able to keep what you are away from you?" the woman asked appalled that a mother could keep something so big from her child.
"She said I had a birth defect." He whispered.
"I see." The woman said. "Where are the girls?" she asked looking around.
"They are out doing chores." Sesshomaru said.
The woman rolled her eyes, "You need to give them a break."
"They are fine besides when I leave them alone they do this." He pointed to Yasha.
"What? They bring home a relative that you haven't seen in years." She yelled at him.
"They are just children and need strict guidelines." Sesshomaru said.
The woman shook her head.
"What?" he asked forcefully.
"You will learn one day." She whispered as she chuckled at her husband.
Alright, now first of all, don't yell at me cuz I didn't put Sesshomaru and Rin together. Let me plead my case- First- They have always had a father/daughter relationship. I don't care what you say, there is no way someone could watch a person grow up from a young age and practically raise said person and then go on to have a relationship with that person. Second- Come on! She had no parents and was practically raised by Sesshomaru- that means she would see him as a Father! Third and foremost- I don't see it happening BUT I do believe that she is the reason his heart is softer and that's why I did have a human be his wife or mate- whatever you want to call it.
Hope you didn't mind my rant and just don't yell at me for that pairing.
Please Review and tell me what you thought of my chapter! I have no more school this summer so I can start to write this story a lot more!
