Chapter Twenty Five
Outside, in the yard of the castle, Saige was sitting at the bench surround by garden of flowers, staring up at the sky. She was glad that she was able to see again. When she woke up in her room she was all alone, and was shock that she can see again. She realized that her father's antidote has actually worked, but then she begins to question where he got the antidote from, and how did he get it? Suddenly Saige's thoughts were interrupted when she heard footsteps. Immediately she got up with her hand instantly gripped onto her sword ready to attack the intruder. To her relieve, it was only Inuyasha and Kagome. They were surprised to see Saige outside.
"Saige?" Kagome said as she walked over.
"Hey Aunt Kagome," she greeted, removed her hand from her sword.
"You can see again," Inuyasha pointed out when he notices her eyes.
Saige nodded.
Kagome was so happy to hear the news that she threw her arms around Saige and pulled her into a hug "I'm so happy for you!"
"Thank you Aunt Kagome," Saige replied, surprised that Kagome hugged her.
Inuyasha looked around "Where Sesshomaru and Rin?" he asked.
"Shouldn't they be with Saige?" Kagome asked, wondering the same thing.
Inuyasha notices Saige was busy staring at something "Saige, what it is?" he asked.
Instead of answering, Saige pulled out her sword.
"Saige, what are you..." Kagome stopped talking and gasped, sensing an aura of a demon.
"There's a demon near by," said Inuyasha who sniffed the air and turn his attention toward the direction Saige was staring at.
"Saige, there you are!" Jaken shouted, running toward Saige.
"Jaken, Stay back!" Saige warned the imp who halt and blinked his eye confused.
Before Jaken can figure out what going on, Saige aimed her sword toward the tree and blasted bright blue light from it.
A shadow appeared out from the tree and landed in front of Saige "Saige, are you trying to kill me? He asked with sarcasm.
"Viper, how nice for you to show up so that I can kill you myself," said Saige who remain calm and emotionless while she was still holding her sword, pointing at Viper.
Inuyasha growls and pulled out his Tessaiga "Viper, what are you doing here? He asked.
Viper folds his arms "Relax, I'm only here to see how the situation was," he replied.
Saige smirked "You're here to see if I'm sightless permanently".
Viper touched his chest "I see you read my mind, Saige. You're absolutely right. I came here to see if you are blind and useless.
Saige tighten her gripped on her sword.
"Apparently I misjudge you and Sesshomaru. It's seem to me that Sesshomaru figure out a way to saved you," Viper pulled out his sword "Sesshomaru did saved you from being blind permanently, but he couldn't saved you from the cursed that Cobramaru placed on you".
"Bastard!" Inuyasha shouted.
Kagome touched Inuyasha's arm "Be careful Inuyasha, Viper might have something up his sleeves so don't try to attacked him," she warned.
Inuyasha gritted his teeth "Dammit!" he muttered under his breath.
"What matter Saige, aren't you going to attack me," Viper asked, tempting Saige.
"I was just about to ask you the same question," Saige replied with a calm expression, not falling for Viper's trap.
"Fine, then I shall attack you directly," Viper replied and immediately charged toward Saige who lifted her sword up ready to block his attack.
Abruptly, out of nowhere a sword flew and stabbed Viper in the back. He staggered, but managed to pull the sword out from his back.
Furiously, he turned around and saw Rin stand a far from him glaring at him.
"YOU!" he growled and throws the sword back at Rin who catches it rather quickly
"There more where that came from if you are looking for more," she remarked.
Viper smirked "Do you really think I came here alone?" he asked.
"What!" Inuyasha exclaimed with a shock expression.
"Guess again you bunch of fools," Viper snaps his fingers and a bunch of demons appeared and attack Inuyasha, Rin, Saige, and Kagome.
Viper was about to make his escaped when Sesshomaru appeared in front of him, pointing his sword, Baksaiga at him "Going somewhere?"
"Yes, you see I know that you will not killed me especially when you are going to have your hands full if you know what I mean," Viper replied, trying to hinted at something.
"Hn?" Sesshomaru said with confusion when suddenly he heard Kagome screamed for Rin. He quickly turned around and saw a snake coming rushing toward Rin.
He looked back at Viper who has a grin on face as if he knew this would happen.
Making a decision, Sesshomaru hastily leaped toward Rin
"Mission accomplished," Viper thought as she escaped away into the forest.
Rin was swinging her sword violently slashing the demons into bit when suddenly she heard Kagome yelled her name out. Confused, she turned around just in time to see the snake lunged at her.
Out of nowhere a poison whip flew through the air chopping the snake into bit. Then bright blue light blasted the demons into ashes behind Rin.
Sesshomaru landed swiftly and safely in front of Rin who was relieved to see him. At the same time, Saige appeared next to Sesshomaru. Now Sesshomaru and Saige are both shielding Rin from the demons.
Sesshomaru glanced at Saige who nodded with understanding. They both swing their sword at the same time and destroy all the demons while Inuyasha used his Wind Scar and finished the rest of demons with Kagome's arrow.
After it was over, Kagome rushed over to Rin "Are you okay?" she asked.
Rin nodded "I'm okay," she replied.
Inuyasha implanted Tessaiga into the ground "Dammit! That bastard got away," he cursed.
"It won't be long until we find him," Kagome assured "And when we do find her..."
"We killed him and Cobramaru," Saige finished Kagome's sentence, tighten her fists.
*End of Saige's Memories*
"Saige?" someone was calling her and tapping her shoulder.
Saige snapped out from her deep thoughts and notices Ella was walking next to her.
"What is it?"
"Do you know where we are going," she asked.
"It's up ahead," Saige simply replied.
They continue to walk ahead for a while when they reach to a cave. Saige stopped and looked back at Sesshomaru and Rin "We are going to rest here," she told them.
Rin nodded and lead Sesshomaru to cave with Kohaku help while Saige and Ella stay outside the cave.
Swiftly, Saige picked up a scent. She turned to the direction where the scent was coming from "Ella, stay here with my parent," she said with a serious and strict tone.
Ella nodded and Saige took off into the forest really fast in a blink of an eye.
Kohaku came out from the cave "Where's Saige?" he asked.
"She took off after the demon on her own," Ella responded.
"Should we go after her?" Kohaku asked.
Ella shook her head "No, Saige is strong and can handle the demon on her own," she replied, knowing that Saige is strong and a good fighter "Beside, we should stay here and protect Lord Sesshomaru and Rin".
"You're right," Kohaku agreed.

Saige stopped at the spot and came to face with Inukimi
"Saige, we need to talk," Inukimi spokes.
"I was planning to go see you myself," Saige replied.
Inukimi approaches up to Saige "I knew you would come to see me and I know the reason to it," she said if she already knew Saige would show up.
"And I guess you knew what was happening I supposed," Saige presumed.
"If you referring to Sesshomaru then yes," Inukimi replied.
"Then must know where I can find the antidote do you?" Saige asked, curious to know.
"Yes, but you must retrieved the antidote yourself," Inukimi replied.
"Tell me where it is and I'll get it myself," Saige said, getting impatient.
"You would have to go through some obstacle to get it," Inukimi explained "You might not make it if you don't succeed".
"That is the risk I'm willing to take," Saige answered already made her decision.
Inukimi walked up to Saige "Then take this with you," she gave a small brown bag to Saige "What is it?" Saige asked.
"It will help you when the time comes. Do not open it yet. You can only open when you need it" Inukimi told her.
Saige nodded.
"Now it's time, I will teleport you there. Good luck Saige and be careful," Inukimi said before she uses her necklace and teleport Saige away.
"Saige, I hope you will succeed in time to save Sesshomaru," Inukimi thoughts and then she teleports away into the sky.

"What's this?" Cobramaru stares at bowl of water which has the image of Saige talking to Inukimi "So Saige is trying to save Sesshomaru," he smirked.
"Master Cobramaru, should I destroy Sesshomaru," Viper asked.
"No," Cobramaru replied with evil smile on his face "I have a task for you to do already. You have done an excellent job making sure Caleb was defeated for his betrayal".
Viper bows his head "Thank you master,' he replied.
"Now I want you to make sure Saige never get her hands on the antidote, and I will deal with Sesshomaru and Rin," Cobramaru told Viper.
Viper nodded and left out the door.
Cobramaru looked at the bowl water and laughed "Saige, it's time for you to witness your worst nightmare of seeing your parents dying again. When it does happen, you will perish".
TBC: Uh oh! I sense trouble. I hope Saige will succeed.
Review and tell me what you think.
