Chapter 29
That serpent…
Do not forget the taste of fear? Why do I feel I've seen that before?
The hissing sound…
The beast must die…
I woke up all of a sudden, lying on the floor. Where am I? I wondered as I looked around, but all I could see was darkness. I suddenly heard footsteps coming from my right side; I turned around to see but I couldn't see a thing. I sat there, with impending doom, waiting for that 'person' to make an appearance.
But I kept on hearing footsteps but saw no one approaching…
What's the meaning of this? So I decided to call out…
"Who's there?"
My voice sounded muffled and rough. That's when I saw it: I saw the skirt of my red kimono. A smile graced my lips as I remembered my mother adapting my dad's haori into a kimono. It was made out the fire rat linen. That's when I realized I wasn't in complete darkness; I could see myself.
I also noticed the footsteps had stopped…
I could feel a presence… an unimaginable fear that overwhelmed every inch of my soul…
My heart pounded so hard and fast, I could hear it. My breathing increased as I clenched my sword. I felt a slight ease as I realized I had my trusted aid, my Tetsusaiga.
Kameko…
I heard it say my name; thought I wasn't sure if it was real or it was just my fear creeping in, making my mind fool myself.
Kameko-chan, I can see… that you've growing into a fine woman…
Ok, so I'm not crazy… there's definitely somebody there! I gripped my sword tighter as I stood up and said, "Who is it? Reveal yourself!"
Ah? So demanding as your father, I see…
"How do you know me and my father? Pray tell!" I demanded.
You see, I am she how cursed Inuyasha and who send you that note… and all the others… he he he
WHAT!
That's when the memories of the previous notes flushed in a torrent:
Elementary school: at the changing room, after gym class, a gust of wind cut thru through an open window. I clutched my ohm necklace as it glowed. That's when I saw a piece of paper on the floor. I turned around and I noticed nobody even made a fuss for the wind or anything; so I knew this was youkai work. I picked the paper up and what it said stunned me,
Do not forget the taste of fear
First year of middle school: walking back home from a perilous day of school. I hate those stupid girls and I all I could think off was the many ways I was going to make them pay… when I heard a scream. I ran towards it and when I turned to the ally, I saw a guy holding a screaming girl and two others grabbing her by the legs.
"Hey! Leave her alone!" I yelled as I ran towards them.
"Eh? Another pussycat we can play with?" said what I believed was the leader of the gang. He had long, blond hair and disgusting blue eyes. I sensed youkai.
"This… this is even detestable for you youkai!" I yelled. This really got his attention.
"Yo-youkai," said the girl before she passed out of fear.
"Oh! So you know what I am? Boys, bring her to me…" he hissed as the two holding the girls legs pounced at me.
I summoned my ohm necklace and my bow and quiver appeared. I charged and fired, vaporizing them.
"You small fry! You'll pay for this!" said the leader as he transformed into a huge, golden serpent. I could feel my legs give way. I tried to gulp away the fear I was feeling but it didn't go. Once again I charged at it and fired but somehow he disappeared, making me miss. He then reappeared, but closer to me this time. The serpent opened its mouth to reveal its tongue. I suddenly felt as I was going to pass out. Its fangs spat out the poison and I barely managed to avoid it. This time the thing came flying towards me to attack, and I only knew one thing that would never miss: I grabbed two arrows, charged both of them, fired one and immediately fired the second one. This is what I called the Nijurasen no seishin or the Nijurasen seishin kyoka. This was a technique I developed myself when in one of my trips with father, Seiichi and uncle Sesshomaru. It literally translates to Double helix spirit or Double helix spirit arrow. This technique pulverizes the enemy, while drawing out all your spiritual powers; reason why I barely use it.
As I fell to the floor after finishing the serpent, I noticed a piece of paper flying towards me with the gentle breeze. I opened it and what I saw made my heart stop:
'Tis the fate of the inu
A small thud on the ground brought me back to 'reality'. My heart sped why beyond its limits as I looked around but could still see no one. Once again, the voice spoke:
"I will exterminate your kind, inu youkai!" as I sensed it coming my direction to attack me.
As I turn my hand to my right side to grab Tetsusaiga, I felt the hilt of another sword.
Tenseiga?
That's when I realized the world I was in. I need to get out of this 'in between world' before it swallows me in…
I drew Tetsusaiga out and closed my eyes as I summoned,
"Meido… Zangetsuha!"
But nothing happened. What! Matte…. Meido Zangetsuha should've work! I thought I'd mastered it before…?
That's when I heard the mocking laugh. I could feel the hatred welling up inside of me as I clenched Tetsusaiga harder.
Kameko darling, the Meido is not going to work in this world… this is a battle within yourself… we are inside you…
Inside me… What is this suppose to mean? That's when all the memories of the library flooded my mind. I fell to the ground, grabbing my head, as it felt like it weighed a ton.
A spirit arrow pierced me? Daizuke-sensei? Why?
Inuyasha barely even remembered the travel from his house to Arashiyama. The only thing he could think about was,
400 years ago…
Kikyo…
Kameko…
He parked his car in a whiff and paid no mind if it was parking for the disabled or not. His brain reminded him to check but he thought, it's fucking empty and I'm in a hurry… as he made his way through the entrance of the school.
Seiichimaru was already waiting for him at the entrance. Forgetting the pleasantries, he spat,
"Where is she?"
Seiichimaru nearly flinched, as he's never seen his uncle this serious. Not even on their training trips. His father and uncle always had the same discussion over and over 'cause he was never serious enough.
He made Inuyasha follow his lead into the girl's dorm and into Kameko's bedroom. Once they where outside, Inuyasha just barged in, making the people inside jump in surprise. The lighting inside the room was very dim; all you could see were three figures and one lying on a bed. One of them had very short, dark hair and sleepy eyes; the other had light blue and black hair and the other…
Inuyasha's heart sped and eyes bulged out…
His mouth went dry as he recognize the third person…
The one he was hoping not to see…
Uuuhhhh who is Inuyasha hoping not to see? Oh well, I musn't be silly.. there's a lot of intelligent people reading this story that know who this is...
