InuYasha Fan Fiction / Fan Fiction ❯ Traveling through Time ❯ Sacrifice ( Chapter 19 )

Inuyasha looked up to see four humans standing in front of Starfire. He noticed that the aura that surround these four shown more brightly then any he had seen in this world. Each of the humans carried a different item; an hourglass, a scythe, a sword, and a key. “I won't let you take her Thorac!” Starfire's body was shaking form the anger she felt inside her stomach. It grew as the male human stepped forward as he pointed his scythe at Starfire.

 

“You have no choice in the matter Starfire.” Starfire stepped towards the human as if to intimidate him, but it wasn't working.

 

“You'll have to take me too then because I'm not going to let you taker her.” Starfire began to let tears fall down her face.

 

“As the God of Death, my duty is take the unloving out of the living world. I have no choice Starfire. You know that.”

 

“Take one of us instead Thorac.” Moonstriker rose up on one knee.

 

“You know I can't Moonstriker.”

 

“Yes, you can Thorac!” Neptune stepped in front of Thorac.

 

“Guardian, you know that it's not yours or any other Sun Warrior's time to die. I can not change what is to be.”

 

“You can't change fate Guardian.” The woman holding the hourglass stepped next to Neptune and placed her hand on Neptune's shoulder, but Neptune shrugged her off.

 

“Why not you have Destiny.” Neptune shot her a look that told Destiny she was right.

 

“It's different with me young one I am the Goddess of Time. I know fate and I alone can change it.” She looked at Neptune hoping that the young warrior would just let Thorac take Kagome.

 

“Then change fate again Destiny, bring Kagome back from the dead. I demand that you do that.” Inuyasha was shocked by Neptune's words.

 

`How can she talk that way to them if they are Gods?' The woman carrying the sword stepped between Neptune and Thorac coming nose to nose with Neptune.

 

“She's right young one. She can change fate but only when necessary.”

 

“After all I did for you. This is the payment I get!” Neptune stepped back holding her spear ready to fight.

 

“Guardian?” The young woman with the sword stepped towards her.

 

“No Clantra. You may have taught me everything you know, but I am not afraid to fight you and I know that what you're doing in nonsense. Kagome does not belong to our world so our rules do not apply to her.” Neptune bent her knees ready to charge at Clantra when Green Hawk ran into the clearing coming between the goddess and Neptune.

 

“Trialers, Neptune. Wait.” Destiny looked at the young healer as if she was supposed to be there which confused Neptune.

 

“What is it young healer?” Clantra looked at Green Hawk knowing what was to come.

 

“Let me make the sacrifice for this girl.” All the warriors looked at Green Hawk in shock not sure how they should react to her.

 

“You realize what will happen if you do this young one?” Thorac placed his hand on her shoulder trying to make sure this is what she wanted.

 

“Yes I do.”

 

“Green Hawk.” Neptune knew why Green Hawk was doing this; if she never heard Saturn and Neptune's conversation then she would have never thought to do this.

 

“I know what I'm doing Neptune and I have nothing to lose. I already talked to Red and he supports me completely. Besides I can handle this I will always have my brother and you to help me.” Green Hawk returned her gaze to Thorac. “Tell me what I need to do.”

 

“Take the girl and let me know when you are ready young one.” Green Hawk walked over to Pluto and Inuyasha. Inuyasha growled at her as she tried to take Kagome from him.

 

“Inuyasha let Green Hawk take Kagome it's the only way we can get her back.” Pluto managed to convince Inuyasha to give Kagome to Green Hawk. As Inuyasha backed away from the young warrior and his love, Pluto knew what he had to do. “Forgive me Inuyasha.” Pluto placed his hands on the ground and ice surrounded Inuyasha's feet. Inuyasha tried to move but it was no use; he turned to find help from Sango and Miroku, but found that they were also be restrained by Sun and Moonstriker.

 

Green Hawk rested Kagome in her lap making sure that the girl would be comfortable when she awoke. “I'm ready Thorac.”

 

Thorac looked at Green Hawk and stepped towards her. When he was a few feet away from her he looked at her to see if she would change her mind, but she only nodded to let him know to continue. Thorac raised his scythe over his head and cut the air in front of Green Hawk. A bright light consumed both girls and then faded.

 

Inuyasha panicked. “What's going on Pluto?” Inuyasha looked at the young male hoping that his answer would be what he wanted to hear.

 

“Green Hawk made the sacrifice so Kagome could live.”

 

“What sacrifice?” Inuyasha wanted to be near Kagome but all he could do it watch as the light consumed the girls in front of him.

 

“She gave up what's left of her mortality and because she did that it will cost her.”

 

“Cost her what?” Inuyasha couldn't believe how Pluto could just stand back and watch.

 

“Her sight. She will never be able to see again, but it's her choice and I can't interfere and neither can you.”

 

“Why?” Inuyasha couldn't understand why Green Hawk would do something like this.

 

“She has nothing left in the mortal world. Her family was killed when we defeated Dideon. She has nothing to lose so her sight is truly the only she will be losing.”

 

Everyone stood still holding their breath as the light vanished from the two young girls. Kagome's eyes flew open as she gasped for the air that left her lungs. Green Hawk smiled as she opened her eyes. “Thank you Trialers.”

 

“May you be blessed Green Hawk.” The woman carrying the key stepped forward bowing to Green Hawk.

 

“Thank you Uniacon.” Inuyasha and the others watched as the Trialers vanished into thin air.

 

“What happened?” Kagome looked around in confusion.

 

“Kagome…” Inuyasha ran to Kagome's side and hugged her as he heard her ask about what was going on. “Green Hawk sacrificed her sight for you to live, along with her mortality.” Kagome looked at Green Hawk as what Inuyasha said sunk in.

 

“Why Green Hawk?”

 

I can live without my sight and my mortality is useless to me besides you are needed here. I know I made the right choice.” Kagome began to cry and she hugged Green Hawk. “Kagome don't cry for me.”

 

“How can I repay you? You will never be able to see again.”

 

“I'll be fine. The only thing I have to worry about is my over protective brother.”

 

“I thought you didn't have any family left.” Inuyasha shot a look over to Pluto.

 

“In the mortal world all my family is dead. But Red Hawk is my brother and all I have left.” Inuyasha nodded understanding that the two siblings were all they had. “Well let's go home, I'm tired.” Green Hawk stood only to find that her legs refused to support her weight. Inuyasha scooped up his love's savior and carried her out of the clearing with the others not too far behind her.

 

Pluto and Neptune thanked the Winter Warriors for their aid and turned to follow the others, but Neptune stopped and looked at where Green Hawk and Kagome had sat before. `Green Hawk you did something that none of us could have done. May the gods be with you.' She walked back to the valley making sure she was alert to her surroundings. `I can't help but wonder why they were after Kagome though. What is in store for these mortals?'
