InuYasha Fan Fiction / Fan Fiction ❯ Traveling through Time ❯ Push ( Chapter 13 )

Morning came quickly for the valley; Miroku and Inuyasha were woken by the sound of metal clashing on metal. They looked out the window of their room to see Neptune and Pluto fighting with two swords. They recognized Pluto's sword, but not the one Neptune held in her hand. The two changed quickly with Roccao's help and went to join the young warriors.

 

Inuyasha watched as Neptune barely moved to block Pluto's attacks; he was amazed at her advance fighting skills. Pluto sheathed his sword and sat on the ground trying to catch his breath. Inuyasha joined him as Miroku approached Neptune. The sword vanished from her hand and her spear appeared in its place. She spoke to Miroku, but Inuyasha could not hear what she was saying. Then Miroku lunged at Neptune who blocked his attack. As he watched them, fight Inuyasha couldn't help but ask Pluto some questions about Neptune.

 

“How can she fight so well, yet you have a hard time keeping up with her?”

 

“She was trained to fight by Clantra, goddess of war and warriors.”

 

“But she moves like its second nature to her. Like she can see your move before it happens.”

 

“Well it kind of is. You see Inuyasha she came to this world long before I did.” Inuyasha looked at Pluto with confusion.

 

“How is that possible? You're older then her.”

 

“Like I said she CAME to this world before I did.”

 

“You're not from this world?”

 

“Not exactly. It's kind of complicated. But she trained all of us. You know how to fight so that's why she can predetermine our moves. She trained us so no one knows our fighting styles better then her.”

 

“I see. But I still don't understand why she backed down last night.” Inuyasha watched as Neptune tripped Miroku.

 

“Don't know.” Pluto lied. His mind then began to wander back to the conversation that he and Neptune had earlier that morning.

 

 

“Guardian, why did you step down last night?”

 

“Because Pluto, I was no match for him.”

 

“Are you kidding me, Nep?”

“No Pluto.” Neptune looked away from Pluto hoping he couldn't tell that she was lying. But he noticed.

 

“Nep, you're lying. Remember you're the warrior of truth. You can't lie.” Neptune looked at Pluto.

 

“Pluto, I could have really hurt him if I kept attacking. Besides he wasn't thinking straight.”

 

“What are you talking about?”

 

“He was trying to impress Kagome.”

 

“Oh.” Pluto drew his sword and took stance in front of Neptune. Neptune opened her right hand as a golden sword appeared in mid-air. “So where did you disappear to last night?”

 

“I had some to take care of and no you don't need to know.”

 

“Fine, but I went to find you after we were done talking to Snow and the others and I couldn't find you.”

 

“I got sidetracked.”

 

“Sidetracked?” Pluto fell back as Neptune pushed off his sword.

 

“Yes, by the mortals.”

 

“Why do you have to call them that and besides what could they be doing that would keep you distracted?”

 

“One, because they are mortals and two, Miroku said `goodnight my love', but Sango didn't hear him.”

 

“And you did.”

 

“Naturally.”

 

“So what's the big deal then Nep?”

 

“I could sense his frustration. He wants to tell Sango how he feels, but doesn't know how.”

 

 

“Pluto, Pluto. Are you listening to me or what?” Inuyasha waved his hand in Pluto's face as Pluto returned from his memories.

 

“Sorry Inuyasha. I just got lost in thought.”

 

Meanwhile…

 

“Miroku is something bothering you?” Neptune blocked Miroku's staff.

 

“No, why do you ask?” Miroku was gasping for air while Neptune Hadn't even broke a sweat yet.

 

“Your mind seems else where.”

 

“Well…can I tell you something Guardian?”

 

“Sure.”

 

“Promise you won't tell anyone.”

 

“I won't tell.”

 

“It's Sango. I really care about her, but I can't tell her.” Miroku sat on the ground tired from training with Neptune.

 

“I see. Umm…why not?” Neptune kneeled down by Miroku.

 

“She'll never fall in love with a lecherous monk like me.” Miroku rested his head in his hands.

 

“You know Miroku, I think she feels the same but what do I know I'm just the Guardian.” Neptune sarcastically stated.

 

“You really think so?” Neptune nodded as she smiled knowing that her plan was working. “Well then I'm going to go find her.”

 

Miroku ran towards the castle while Inuyasha ran after him yelling that he wanted to know what was going on. Pluto stood and walked up to Neptune. “So all he need was a little push?”

 

“You could say that.” Neptune smiled at her older cousin. Then it dawned on Pluto what exactly Neptune was doing.

 

“You knew what's been going to happen from the beginning haven't you? You've been talking to Destiny. You cheater.” Neptune just smiled as she rose to her feet and walked away from Pluto.

 

`I just hope this works before what suppose to Kagome actually happens.' Neptune looked back at the castle as she shivered. `I wonder if Saturn has had her vision yet. Oh, Destiny why couldn't you show me what happens after the incident? Why?'
