Chapter 3: Love or hate at first sight
After all the commotion passed, Marinako waked up.
She rubbed her eyes and felt something weird. She looked at her hands and saw the claws.
Marinako screamed and got out of Kaede's house running, she saw a bucket filled with water and ran to it. She looked herself into the water and saw her blue hair and eyes, and also she noticed that she had fangs.
Marinako fell to her knees and started to cry. Kaede saw her and went to see her.
Kaede "Are you ok?" "No! I'm not okay…" Marinako said sobbing with her hands covering her face
"Are you crying again?" Suddenly Inuyasha appeared out of nowhere "If you continue like this you're not going to be able to survive"
Marinako "What are you talking about? I'm not me anymore… I-I'm not human anymore!" Inuyasha "And what, you can't change it" Marinako "Thanks for the information, but you know I already noticed that!"
Inuyasha sighed and got closer to Marinako "Listen, you're not alone, we'll help you until you get used to your new powers and stuff, but please stop crying"
Marinako looked up at Inuyasha and saw him smile slightly "Why are you even helping me?"
Inuyasha "I know how it feels to be alone… but I'm just helping you because you are a cry baby" Inuyasha blushed slightly
Marinako smiled and hugged him.
Inuyasha "What the hell are you doing? Get off me!" Marinako "Thank you"
"Inuyasha… SIT BOY" Kagome was behind them looking at both of them with a deadly look.
Inuyasha "WHAT WAS THAT FOR!" Kagome "shut up, do you prefer her because she is a monster!" Inuyasha "What are you talking about? She was the one who hugged me" Marinako "That's true Kagome, I was the one who hugged him"
Kagome blushed and looked at Inuyasha "I'm not going to say sorry"
Sango "Breakfast is ready, oh Marinako, how are you?" Marinako "I'm feeling better but I just have a lot of question in my mind" Kaede "I'm sure that we will be able to help to answer all those questions"
They went inside Kaede's house to eat.
Miroku "Marinako, I'm sorry for what I did yesterday" Marinako "It's okay, you were just trying to protect your friends"
After everyone was done eating, Inuyasha spoke
"Marinako, you must have realized that you are not the person you were yesterday right?"
Marinako nodded
Inuyasha "Than I must tell you what you truly are… We believe that you are the descendant of an old dragon…" Marinako "A dragon…"
Miroku "Yes, according to lady Kaede, this village used to be guarded by a water dragon, but he disappeared a long time ago, it's possible that you are his descendant" Marinako looked at her claws.
"Am I going to be able to fight?" Marinako asked looking at Inuyasha with a deep look
Sango "I think you will, since you're a monster you must have some sort of powers and abilities" Kagome "What do you think Inuyasha?"
When Inuyasha was about to answer, a villager entered to Kaede's house. He looked horrified and he was very agitated.
Villager "Lady Kaede there is a demon approaching the village" Kaede "A demon?" villager "Yes, he has white hair and a moon on his forehead"
Inuyasha growled "It must be that bastard of Sesshomaru!"
Inuyasha got up and went outside; everyone including Marinako followed him outside.
Sesshomaru was standing looking around
Inuyasha "Sesshomaru! What the hell are you doing here?" Sesshomaru "Is that the way to treat your big brother?"
Marinako opened her blue eyes really wide and stared at Sesshomaru
"That guy…" She whispered and instantly Sesshomaru caught sight with her.
"Who is she?" Sesshomaru asked looking at Marinako.
Shippo "Do you know him Marinako?" Marinako "I have seen him in my dreams, but this is the first time I met him in person"
Inuyasha "Leave her alone! Don't even try to get near her" Sesshomaru smirked and suddenly he punched Inuyasha. Sesshomaru was really fast, so no one saw when he got close to Marinako.
Sesshomaru stood in front of Marinako, but Marinako didn't moved. Marinako was terrified.
Sesshomaru grabbed Marinako's chin and make her look up to him. Marinako blushed and she tried to look away.
Sesshomaru "Look at me" Marinako "Let me go" Sesshomaru "What do we have here? You must be that presence that I felt yesterday… you must be the new water dragon"
Inuyasha got up and cleaned the blood from his lip with his hand "Sesshomaru… you bastard, leave her alone!"
"Or what, are you going to kill me?" Sesshomaru said in a mocking voice
While Sesshomaru was distracted Marinako pushed him and ran away from him
"Stupid, do you think you can escape from me?" Sesshomaru caught her again but this time he threw her in the ground "Someone needs to learn a lesson"
Sesshomaru prepared his poisonous claws
Marinako "Don't touch me!" Marinako pushed Sesshomaru again but this time she did it with her powers.
Miroku "Incredible…"
Sesshomaru was thrown away by Marinako's powers. Everyone looked surprised by the fact that Marinako was able to harm Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru got up as fast as he could; he cleaned the blood from his lip than looked at Marinako who stood up.
Sesshomaru "Not bad, but miracles don't happen twice" Sesshomaru run to attack her but was stopped by Inuyasha
"Steel claws!" Inuyasha attacked Sesshomaru "I told you to leave her alone! Do I have to say it twice or do I have to beat you so you can understand!"
Sesshomaru smirked "You beat me? Haha is a really good joke Inuyasha but I don't have time for jokes, so I will kill you first and then I will be able to end my conversation with the water dragon"
Inuyasha "Keep dreaming!" they started to fight, but after a few minutes Sesshomaru knocked Inuyasha
Kagome "Inuyasha!" she ran to him "Get away from him!" Kagome screamed with tears in her eyes
Sesshomaru "Well… where we were, Oh that's right I was going to get rid of you also" Marinako "How you dare hurt your own brother…" Sesshomaru "He is not my brother, he is just one mistake that my father make"
Marinako was furious, she didn't even care anymore if Sesshomaru was going to kill her or not.
"You… You are a monster!" Marinako said in tears "I won't let you get away with this… I won't" Sesshomaru smirked but then his smirk disappeared when he saw a blue aura coming out of Marinako
Marinako raised her hands and out of nowhere a sword appeared in her hands.
Miroku "What is that? Is that a sword?" Sango "I think so…"
Marinako "Sesshomaru this is your punishment… Kamikaze [1]!"
Sesshomaru tried to stop this wind combined with water but he failed.
In the moment that Sesshomaru was being attacked by Marinako Sesshomaru's sword, Tenseiga, Protected him from being killed by Marinako's attack
"Why? She was able to hurt me… and this feeling! What is so special about her" Sesshomaru was thinking while he was being transported to a safe place by Tenseiga. After Sesshomaru was gone everything got silent.
Marinako fell to her knees exhausted.
Shippo ran to her "Marinako! Are you okay?" Marinako nodded
Sango and Miroku also ran to her, and help her to get up.
Marinako then ran to see how Inuyasha was.
"Inuyasha, are you okay?" Marinako asked looking really worried
"I'm fine… Thank you for saving me from being killed" Inuyasha said while he looked at the ground
Sango "At least this ended…" Kagome "For now, I'm sure he will come back"
Marinako "I didn't kill him right?"
Inuyasha looked up at Marinako who seemed to be worried by the fact the she could had killed Sesshomaru.
Miroku "No you probably didn't, Sesshomaru is always saved by his sword Tenseiga" Sango "We should rest and tomorrow we can leave the village" Kagome "I agree, Inuyasha what do you think?"
Inuyasha was still looking at Marinako wondering "What is she up to? She seemed to be really worried for Sesshomaru… does she like him? No it must be just my imagination" Inuyasha was brought back from his thoughts by Kagome
"Inuyasha! Are you listening?"
"What? Oh yeah I think we should move from here" Inuyasha said still a little distracted.
At night
Marinako was sitting outside by herself, until Inuyasha sat next to her.
Inuyasha "Can I talk to you?" Marinako "sure, why not" Inuyasha "Do you like him?"
Marinako blushed and her face went completely red
"What do you mean?"
Inuyasha slightly blushed "Well, you seemed to be really worried for him…"
Marinako "I-I don't know, I can't think straight!" Inuyasha "What do you mean you can't think straight?"
"It might be love… or even hate" Marinako said looking at her hand and remembering how Sesshomaru easily make her feel nervous and excited…
In a far forest
"Lord Sesshomaru! Are you okay? Who dared to harm you like this?" A small green creature asked, his name was Jaken and he was Sesshomaru's servant.
Rin "Lord Sesshomaru, are you okay?" Sesshomaru nodded and got up
"We are leaving now" Sesshomaru said even though neither Rin nor Jaken had agreed to go with Sesshomaru in that condition, they followed him.
"We'll see each other again…and when that happens I will kill you… Marinako"
