InuYasha Fan Fiction / Fan Fiction ❯ Traveling through Time ❯ Secret Revealed ( Chapter 9 )

Inuyasha dreamt of Kagome. He dreamt of what it would be like to hold her, even kiss her. As he happily dreamed he heard a noise coming from outside his dream world. It sound like metal on metal and it echoed in his ears. His eyes flew open and he rose from his bed nudging Miroku to wake up. “Miroku…Miroku…do you hear that?” Miroku's eyes opened as the sound became louder. The two men stood waiting for the sound to fade away but it never did. They noticed the sound inching its way closer to their room meaning that it was getting closer to Sango and Kagome's room. Inuyasha opened the door ready to protect Kagome when he came face to face with Guardian Neptune. Neptune placed the end of her spear on the floor causing the loud sound that they had heard moments.

 

She looked at both men showing no emotion or remorse in her face and the walked passed them back down the hall way. “Why the hell are you making so much noise?!” Inuyasha stepped out of the doorway facing Neptune's back. Neptune stopped walking but didn't turn around.

 

“You two are the only one's still sleeping. Everyone else has been up for hours. ”Neptune said calmly. “They're in the dining hall.” She started to walk away again, but Miroku quickly grabbed her shoulder.

 

“You wouldn't know how we could change out of these clothes would you?” Neptune snapped her fingers and Miroku noticed that he and Inuyasha were in a different set of clothes but still not their normal attire. “Thank you Guardian.” Miroku bowed to the warrior and then his hand tried to reach out and touch Neptune. Without really moving Neptune brought her spear down blocking Miroku's hand.

 

“I would advise against that.” She then continued down the corridor not looking back at either Miroku or Inuyasha. Miroku felt his face become red with embarrassment from his actions towards Neptune but quickly pushed them aside.

 

“We better go find Sango and Kagome.” Miroku walked down the hall way towards the dining room with Inuyasha right behind him. They entered the dining hall to see Sango and Kagome sitting with Starfire, Moonstriker, and the Ancient Warrior. Sango and Kagome wore outfits similar to what Miroku and Inuyasha were wearing but tighter.

 

“Glad to see you two finally awake.” Starfire smiled as she looked at her drowsy friends.

 

“Keh.” Inuyasha sat next to Kagome grabbing fruit from one of the platters in front of him.

 

“Someone's grumpy.” Moonstriker giggled as she nudged her sister. Starfire laughed as Inuyasha looked like he was pouting.

 

“So what are we going to do with these four?” the Ancient warrior looked at the twins who quickly became serious. “We can't have them wandering around here bored.”

 

“They could go with one of us.” Moonstriker looked at her sister for help to her suggestion. “I'll be in the Ranota Ocean all day.”

 

“I'm training with Prince Hunter today.”

 

“And I'll be in the Valley of Wolves.” The three looked at each other lost in though of what they were going to do.

 

“Well I would love to go with you Ancient Warrior. I could help you in whatever you had to do there,” Kagome smiled. She really liked the Ancient Warrior's company. She also wished she could somehow talk to Snowflake; she had so many questions to ask the young warrior.

 

“Well then why don't Miroku and Sango go with you Moon and Inuyasha can come with me?”

 

“Sounds good to me.” Moonstriker shrugged. They continued eating when Inuyasha shifted uneasily in his chair. Then Inuyasha's ears perked up; he heard claws hitting the metal floor in the distance. After a few seconds the scent of the creature hit him. The scent of a wolf was coming towards them; Inuyasha growled as he thought of Koga coming to take away Kagome but he knew that wasn't Koga's scent. He leaped toward the door drawing his sword but noticed that the Ancient Warrior was blocking his way.

 

“Move! I'm going to kill that mangy wolf!”

 

“You will not!” Inuyasha stopped in his tracks as a new scent came to his nose. It was the Ancient Warrior's but it was intertwined with the scent of a wolf. The door opened behind the Ancient Warrior to reveal a wolf that was twice the size of a normal wolf. The wolf stepped up next to Ancient Warrior and nudged her.

 

“Calm yourself young one.” Inuyasha's jaw dropped as did the others. “Sinotaa does not need to meet these mortals.”

 

“He can talk.” Kagome finally spat out. Moonstriker looked at Kagome and then burst out in laughter. “What?”

 

“I…think we…forgot to tell them…about the…guided animals.”

 

“Guide animals?” Miroku looked at Moonstriker who was almost falling out of her seat.

 

“Guide animals are creatures that our ancestors chose to watch over us and point us in the right direction when we fall off our true path. Great Wolf is the Ancient Warrior's guide animal.” Starfire tried to explain without laughing at Miroku's facial expression towards her sister.

 

“So he's a good wolf?”

“Yes, mortal. I am a good wolf if that's how you would like to put it.” Great Wolf looked at the Ancient Warrior who still had her eyes locked on Inuyasha. “He meant no harm young one he's just protecting those he cares about.” Great Wolf walked toward Inuyasha and bowed showing Inuyasha that he meant no harm to Kagome and the others.

 

“I know Great Wolf I don't know what came over me.” the Ancient Warrior looked confused as she walked back over to the table ignoring Inuyasha's stare.

 

“It was Sinotaa young one. She is a wolf too you know.”

 

“I know but she's a werewolf.”

 

“It makes not difference she is still part wolf.”

 

“Who's Sinotaa?” Sango asked as she listened to the conversation between Great Wolf and the Ancient Warrior.

 

“Sinotaa is a werewolf born from the dark warrior Werewolf. She shares the Ancient Warrior's body till they can kill Werewolf.”

 

“So you're a werewolf?” Miroku looked at the Ancient Warrior.

 

“Yes, but its different. Sinotaa can emerge anytime I need her or when she thinks it's necessary. She won't kill without reason and she works with me instead of against me.” the Ancient Warrior looked at Inuyasha. “It was her scent you smelled with mine.”

 

After an awkward moment of silence Kagome turned towards Moonstriker, “Who's you're guide animal Moon?”

 

“His name is Blueheart. He's a sea dragon that resides in the Ranota Ocean.”

 

“My guide animal is Shooting Star, the Pegasus.” Starfire added. “Anyway you'll meet all the guide animals soon enough but we'd better get going if we're going to get anything done today.” Without much being said the group went their separate ways.

 

“Star?”

 

“Yes Inuyasha.”

 

“The Ancient Warrior isn't mad at me is she?”

 

“No. Like you she was just following her instincts.”

 

“Oh. I just thought…”

 

“Inuyasha don't worry about it besides you should worry about the Festival of the Night.”

 

“Why ?”

 

“It's a time to have fun and who knows maybe Lovtra will strike you.”

 

“Lovtra?”

 

“The Goddess of Love.” She nudged Inuyasha who was now blushing.

 

“Whatever, Star.”
