Chapter 3: As Time Goes By...
Kaoru's POV...
--------------
The day became a new as the sun began to rise from it's slumber as the wind began to come back to life blowing through the air. People also began to awake to the new day as they all settled to eat breakfast with their loved ones, as the children dashed outside to play with childhood friends the day grew warmer as if pleased by the sight. The village soon began to bust with people as they went about their daily things ignoring others as they walked about to busy to notice a young maiden on top a hillside gazing at each face she could see. This woman wore something that consisted of a Miko's robe but held her Midnight-blue black hair loose as the wind blew about pushing her hair here and fro. She had a beautiful face that was held in a calm expression much like a Miko should. But to many who ever glinpse at her would gaze until the world itself ends for you would be trapped within her by merely her eyes. She had a unique set of Sapphire jems that glowed when ever she spoke, her voice as soft as silk and her radiant smile would win any man's heart...But she was not suppost to be there, she was not suppost to be a Miko...She was just suppost to be Kaoru Kamiya...the Tomboy...not a Miko...She was suppost to be in Tokyo, Japan...not in Edo,Yamato...But in the Meiji Era...Not the Sengoku Jidai...But why here? Why?...she didn't know...
-
"Why am I here?" I whsipered to the wind as it flew towards the sky as I watched the children play in the fields. "Why am I not home? At the Dojo?" I asked but recieved no answer. It has been a week since I have stayed with Inuyasha and the gumi...a whole week... 'One whole week! But why? This is no dream I know that...but why?' Don't get me wrong I love it here...the place is so wonderful so peaceful and I have made great friends with the Inu-Tashi like Sango...She is like me in a way...we both have lost what was importent to us and we both are independent, strong and wise for our youths, and also it is good to know I'm not the only Tomboy around. Then there's Kagome...she and I are alike in the cheerfulness we both share, we are both always happy and ready to help others in need...at first though I thought she despised me but now I see she is not what I thought she was...she's a very kindhearted person. Then there's Houshi-Sama or Miroku...My eyes harden at the thought 'That Hentai...ohhh How I hate it when he tries to grope me...hentai...' He's what you call a "half" for he can be a friend and a punching bag all at the same time...he really needs to learn not to grope women...especially the ones that can kickass...I giggled at the thought...Then there was both Kirara and Shippo...oh just the thought of them makes me want to cuddle them...their so adorable...espcially Shippo, he's so Kawaii...but a little of a big mouth...much like... 'Yahiko...' I shook the thought away, but what also surprised me was that Kirara would transform into a huge Neko-Youkai which was at first shocking but after a while I got use to her changing...Oh, and hai they know all about me as well...I told them of where I came and how I came to be here...and they had excepted me like it was their everyday thing. I smiled at the memory as I layed there on the soft green grass..."So many great people..." I whispered as I allowed my mind to flashback on that touching memory...
(:x:)
She glanced at each new face as she subconsiously leaned behind Inuyasha, she looked toward the Hanyou then to Kagome with shy sapphire eyes. Inuyasha smelled her fear then glanced at her shortly before turning back to his group. He cleared his throut then stated. "Sango, Miroku, Kaede, Shippo, and Kagome...this is...umm..." He turned towards her becking for her to speak.
She gazed at him then swallowed the heavy lump that was forming in her mouth then glanced at the Miko who was head of the Village. "Atashi no namae wa desu Kamiya Kaoru..." She said shyly then glanced at the two called Sango and Miroku then at Shippo and waited for what they had to say.
Sango locked eyes with Miroku as they nodded their heads in a silent agreement, Sango gazed at Kaoru then smiled warmly at her. "Ohayo Kaoru-san wa Sango desu...and this is..." She pointed towards Miroku who smiled boyishly at Kaoru.
"Ore wa Miroku desu ka, Kaoru-sama."He said calmly at her then he pushed Shippo towards her wanting him to greet her next.
Shippo bounced up and down with impatience, he looked towards Kaoru then jumped on her lap startling her a bit. "Oi! Watashi wa Shippo desu!!" Then pointed to the chibi-neko that was behind him. "To kore neko Kirara desu ka!!" He stated sweetly as he bounced on her shoulder then on top of her head, which made her giggle at him. "Hey?! What's so funny?" He asked confusion shone in his eyes.
Kaoru scooped him off her head then cradled him as she smiled brightly at him. "Ano...you don't even know me and yet you bounce on my head...so I thought that was funny..."
He shook his head then stood on her lap as Kirara jumped on top as well. "Nah, your not a stranger anymore! You know our names and we know your's so your one of us now!!! Right Inuyasha!" He said as he turned toward Inuyasha who had sat quietly watching them.
Inuyasha gazed at Kaoru softly as she smiled back at him, he smiled back and subconsiously agreed. "Yeah, she is...one of us." Kaede noticed this turned to Kaoru then gasped softly which everyone noticed, Kagome stood next to her worry written on her chocolate covered eyes then asked. "Kaede-sama, daijoubu?"
Kaede instead of answering walked up to her then bended down to Kaoru's level, then grabbed her chin squinting her eyes examing her face. Kaoru blinked her eyes rapidly as she bit her lower lip nervously waiting for Kaede to finish whatever she was doing.
Inuyasha's eye twitched at her then stood up pointing at Kaede. "Hey! What the hell are you doing you old lady!!"
She waved him away which ticked him even more, he was about to shout at her but she cut him off. "Aye Inuyasha calm down...ye not worry...now nay child tell me how ye came to this world." She asked as everyone gasped. "Ye are not of this world...for ye had came from the well that Kagome-chan came from...and yet ye not now what of this place is...nay child..." She stated as Kaoru's widen in surprise.
Kaoru looked away as she felt Inuyasha's intensive gaze fall apon her, she closed her eyes as they began to water. 'Are they going to believe me...that I'm not from this world at all?...are they still going to be...friends with me...will Inuyasha believe me?' She looked toward Kaede then smiled bitterly at her. "Hai, Kaede-sama...I am not from this world...not from this time anyway..." She said then lowered her head as she waited for them to throw her out of there, or leave her, or worse hate her, but nothing happened. She glanced to see everyone staring at her with awe instead of anger, she glanced at Inuyasha to see him too struck in awe and not anger.
She licked her delicate dry lips as she waited for them, luckly Kagome was the first to recover. "Wow! Really? Me to!! Now I'm not the only one who time travels anymore!" She stated happily as she took out her hand. "Gomen I didn't introduced myself...wa Kagome Higurashi desu ka!! Great to know your like me!"
Kaoru stared at her out stretched hand then lapsed it with her's, she shook it gently as she smiled warmly at her. "Ano...arigatou, Kagome-san...I guess...but what do you mean by that?...are you like me too?" She nodded her head in agreement as they dropped their hands then Kaoru turned toward Kaede. "Um...ano, Kaede-sama my I ask you why you were examining me?"
Kaede nodded her then stood infront of her. "Aye child you just...remind me of someone that is all..." 'Someone that was very powerful...but could it be?' She shook her head then asked Kaoru. "Now child tell me how you came to this world as you know that Kagome-chan is also not from here...she is from the future...ne Kagome-chan?" Kaoru blinked her eyes then gazed at Kagome who nodded her head happily.
"Yup! I'm from the year 1995 modern day Tokyo, Japan! and what time are you from?" She asked as she seated herself next to Kaoru, who's eyes bulgged right out.
"Nani!! Your from the year !995 of Tokyo, Japan!? Wow your way ahead of me...for I am from the year 1878 of Tokyo, Japan!" Kagome's eyes widen at this as everyone blinked their eyes.
Kaede nodded her head then sat next to the two raven-heads as she glanced at both. "Sou ka...ye child is a centry behind Kagome-chan but two centries ahead of ours...interesting...nay child tell us how you came here...tell me every last detail ye remember..."
She nodded her head then procceded with her tale. [Now we all know what happened to her so lets just skip the explaining part for now ne?] "And once the blue light started to grow lighter it blew Goshinkei Cosega away from me, then I fell through the well and came here..." She finished as everyone absorbed the information that she gave then Kaede took hold of her right hand and turned it up to see her palm.
"Ye said that the blue glow came from your hand nay child?" She nodded her head. "And that it blasted that Goshinkei away from ye correct?" Once more a nod. "Hmm..." 'So I was right she is...her desendent...it is clear now...' "Ye child have a special gift much like Kagome-chan has...I believe that ye were able to come to this world because of a reason...and because of the Shikon no Tama..." She glanced toward Kagome and nodded her head as Kagome took out what appeared like half of a pink crystal jewel, Kaede took it from her then placed it in her right palm. "This child is the Shikon no Tama...it is what I believe is what brought ye here, for ye had said that ye had fell throught the well and at the same time Kagome-chan was nearby the well...I believe because of Kagome-chan being near with thy jewel it opened a passage way for ye to cross over..." She stated as Kaoru gazed at it intensivly as it suddenly started to glow a pinkish color. Everyone gasped as it soon turned a deep, dark blue then finally turned back to its original pale pink. Kaoru gazed nervously at Kaede who calmly layed a hand on top of her's. "Ye child is very special...ye have great power...but for now, me and Kagome-chan will train ye to be able to use it...with a bow and arrow...after all ye will have to accompany with Inuyasha and the gumi..." Everyone gasped as she held out her hand to stop them from protesting. "It has been decided! She has great spiritual powers like Kagome-chan and since she is here she will go with ye to find thy jewel shards, am I not correct Inuyasha? Since now that Kaoru-chan is here...I am sure that Naraku will find out and...might do the unthinkable...if he knows of Kaoru-chan's power...she must learn how to fight if it were to happen..." She finished as she glanced softly at Kaoru who had a confused expression. "Ye child will know in time of what is happening in this world..."
Inuyasha stood then walked up to Kaoru then kneeled to her eye level then softly said. "...Kaoru...I don't mind at all if you come with us...cause I'll promise to protect you from harm...and from Naraku..."He spat with venom at the name but smiled warmly at her. "But I will only do this...if you stay...by my side...will you? Will you stay by my side...Kaoru?..." He asked as everyone waited in anticpation then Kaoru's eyes glimered with tears as she took his hand in hers smiling luminously like the sun itself which Inuyasha secretly loved as his heart felt light.
She then nodded her head as she gazed up at him. "Hai, Inuyasha...I want to stay by your side...I wish to stay...with all of you...always..." At that everyone smiled brightly and agreed that now they had made a new companion and a new friend...
:)x(:
"Life is full of surprises..." I said softly as I continued to watch the fields around me...but then last but not least there was...Inuyasha. My cheeks redden as a smile glazed upon my face...I shook my head once more but it didn't help...I sighed as I stood up and began to walk down the hill not toward the village but towards the forest...Inuyasha's forest...where the others were waiting...I sighed once more as I looked towards the now light blue sky as I suddenly saw his face in the clouds...I blinked my eyes to see it wasn't him... "Just my imagination..." 'But why? Why do I think of him?..I mean sure he was kind enough to let me join their group...but why?' Hai, I know...what and why they are after...Naraku I believe it was his name...the man said to have destroyed their happiness...a Hanyou like Inuyasha who wanted...the Shikon No Tama...the jewel that was shattered and now half hangs around Kagome's neck...I know about what he has done to Miroku and Sango...but not Inuyasha...they didn't explain his reason for hunting down the shards and wanting revenge on Naraku...but I respect that... 'Why would it matter? We all have things in our pasts we don't want to talk about, and he's no exception...' I paused in my tracks as I thought over it...Didn't those words...Didn't I say them to...Kenshin...The thought of him made my heart ache 'Kenshin...I miss you...all of you...Sano, Yahiko, Megumi, Misao, and everyone else...even Hiko and Aoshi...I miss all of you guys...when will I go back?' I shook my head. "No! It's not the time to think of the past...I have to help Inuyasha and the others with the jewel..." I picked up the pace as I soon saw the campsite we settled in. I then saw Shippo and Kirara running towards me squealing in childish joy.
"Kaoru!!! Your back! What took you!!!" Said Shippo as he and Kirara jumped in my arms. "Meow!" I smiled at them. They were so Kawaii when they do this.
I laughed softly at them. "Oh Gomen nasai Shippo, Kirara I was thinking that's all..." I said as we headed towards Sango and Kagome who were making breakfast.
"Oh Hey! Kaoru-Chan! There you are! We were starting to worry!" Said Kagome as she smiled in relief.
"Hai, We were about to go looking for you Kaoru..." Said Sango as she shook her head slightly. "Next time tell us where you'll go if you won't mind..." She finished as she steer the soup she and Kagome made.
I looked at them with guilt written over my face. "Gomen I just wanted some time alone...gomen..." I said. But they shook their heads as they didn't mind. We were about to talk more but then Miroku and Inuyasha emerge from behind the bushes.
Both had flush faces as they breathed deeply we all asked at the same time. "Are you guys ok? What happened?"
Miroku sighed then chuckled a bit then strolled towards us. "Oh there you are Kaoru-Sama...we were looking for you!" He said as my eyes widen. "We were getting worried so we began to search around when you didn't return last night."
I blinked a few times as I looked towards Inuyasha to see him turn away. His face still flushed I felt guilt consume me as I glanced at the ground. 'How Baka I am!!! I made the others worry about me...like I did with the Kenshin-Gumi...' I looked at Miroku then at Inuyasha as he approached us. I gulped down a lump as he gazed at me with anger...and concern? I shook it away as I sighed. "I'm sorry Houshi-Sama...I didn't mean to worry everyone...Gomen nasai...Inuyasha..." I said as I glanced towards him to see his eyes widen.
"Feh! Oh just be quiet Onna!...Miroku here was worried so he asked me to look for you with him...it's not like I was worried!..." He said with arrogence that I knew to well.
I sighed at him then smiled at Houshi-Sama as an apology. I looked towards Inuyasha who I knew was secretly watching me from the corner of his eye. I walked towards him as I continue to hold Shippo and Kirara in my arms I watched as he looked up with that Kawaii confused expression that I enjoyed seeing. I was a few feet away from him as a sad frown settled my features. "Inu...yasha...Suminusen...I didn't...mean to worry you-all of you..." I said as I gazed at everyone then back to Inuyasha who had a shock expression in his eyes. "Gomen Nasai...Minna-san..."
"Feh, don't apologize for that...Like I said I wasn't worried so it's fine!" Inuyasha reasoned as I smiled at him in understanding while the others nodded their heads in agreement.
"Hai, Kaoru-Sama no harm done so let us forget this incident and enjoy our meal shall we?" Miroku declared as we all agreed then settled down as we ate. I conversed with Sango and Kagome as laughter filled me as they talked about the past events they all shared while jewel hunting. 'Wow! I didn't know that Inuyasha and the gumi had this much fun...it reminds me of...my family...' My eyes sadden as I thought of the other friends I have left behind.
Kagome must have noticed my lack of interest when she asked me. "Daijoubu Kaoru-Chan? You don't look so well?" She asked full of concern as the others stopped their talk and gazed at me. My cheeks redden as I felt Inuyasha's intense gaze fall upon my small frame. I was about to answer them when the area around us suddenly started to blow and scatter everything around us. I felt harsh winds push all of us a few feet away from the campsite. I felt someone grab me as we made way, as we landed I fell on top of something warm. I looked up to see Inuyasha's face looking back down at me.
"Are you alright Kaoru?" He asked softly as he helped me to my feet. I nodded my head as I looked to my side to see Sango with Kirara in her Neko-Youkai form, and Kagome and Miroku not to far away. I sighed in relief as I saw they were not injuried. I turned as I saw Inuyasha's eyes narrow at a woman...with a colorful Kimono, black hair tied up in a high ponytail, she had large red eyes and a fan. But what shocked me was she had an evil smirk on her face as she locked eyes with Inuyasha.
"Oi! Inuyasha...Nice to see you again...sorry I had to blow like that, but you know how I make my presence known..." She spoke with venom as she spat at him all the while he was gripping the helt of Tetsuseiga anger glazing his hansome features.
"Well, well, well nice to see you to Kagura...but to bad it will have to be short." And with that he took out tetsuseiga which transformed to it's true form all thw while grinning at her. "Time to meet your end Kagura!!!" With that he dashed right to her.
I snapped out of my stuper as Sango rode up to me with Kirara with a bow and arrow in her grasp...I accepted it as I got in to a battle mode...Hai, ever since I got here I was taught how to use a bow and arrow by Kagome and Keade-Sama for in this time they didn't use any wooden swords...I readied myself as I sensed more demons heading towards us...I gripped on my quiver as the others readied themselves for the upcoming attack...at which I realized that this...Naraku fellow was watching close by as I figured that he had to have been watching us to know where we have been...Anger and determination filled within me as I knotched my arrow back much like Kagome had shown me before...'That yarou...that coward...he's hiding somewhere nearby not doing anything while his minions do all his dirty work...I can see why they despise him so...well if I get my hands on him...he'll pay!!!' With that thought in mind I watched as I released my arrow as it glowed a navy blue as it then flew by and hit a demon as it came by as more soon replaced it...this wasn't going to be easy that much I knew but I wasn't going to give up...I glanced out at the others as they fought on...giving their all and that's what I'll do too...I quickly pulled another arrow as it soon flew by killing the demons nearby...it will take a while but with faith I know we'll win...I just know it...
-Normal POV
The battle raged on as Inuyasha and Kagura faced off, Inuyasha leaped into the air as Kagura sended her blades of wind at him. With a battle cry he desended in the air with his sword in front of him she looked up just in time as she dodge his attack as she lifted her wrist upwards as whirlwinds rushed towards him. Meanwhile the other's were taking down the other demons as Kirara ripped out the flesh of a demon while Sango used her Hiraikotsu to chop them down, as Miroku used his Kazaana to suck up the remaining ones and as Kaoru and Kagome were faced back to back killing the rest of the demons while Shippo hid behind the two girls. Inuyasha and Kagura continued to battle until Kagome sensed a jewel shard. "Inuyasha!! There is a jewel shard nearby and it's coming closer!"
Inuyasha's ears twitched as he heard her then quickly dodged one of Kagura's attack as he glanced at her. "Are you sure Kagome!?" Her response was a nod of her head as Inuyasha soon sniffed out a scent...an all to familiar scent, its scent angered him as he snapped his head towards Kagura as he watched a shadowy figure lurk behind her. "Grrrrrrrr, Naraku!!!! Come fight me like a man!!!! Or at least like the Hanyou you really are!!" He shouted as that got the attention of the figure as it shown itself to be none other then Naraku himself. "Well at last you show yourself coward!! Now prepare to DIE!!!" Inuyasha yelled as he ran up to him. "Kaze-No-Kizu!!!!!" Then his sword released a white light as the wind scar flew at Naraku and Kagura as they stood there smirking the explosion soon swallowed them whole as the group stopped to watch as the wind scar made impact...
They waited as Kagome tried to sense the jewel shard but couldn't feel anything, she shook her head at them as Kaoru and Sango approached closer to Inuyasha then Miroku and Kagome followed behind, Kaoru was the first to speak. "Did you get them Inuyasha?" He turned towards her as a sigh escaped his lips before he sank to his knees gripping his sides. "Inuyasha!!" Kaoru shouted as the others gathered up to the two as she layed his head on her lap. "We have to help him!" Kaoru shouted. "We have to-" She couldn't finish when the air blew roughly at them as they shielded their eyes, they turned to see Kagura and Naraku standing without a scar as Naraku chuckled at the scene.
"Ah! Inuyasha...you ahou do you think your little wind trick can kill me? What a Inu Baku you are...Hmm, Ah! Kore wa nan desu ka?" He asked as he gazed at Kaoru his eyebrow lifted slightly at the young Miko. "Inuyasha...Kore onna anata no desu ka?...and here I thought that Kagome or Kikyo was your onna, but I see that you have gained yet another one...my so many women...haha!!" He laughed as he continue to gaze at Kaoru all the while ticking Inuyasha off. "My, my she is quite the looker...tell me onna, Nandai no namae wa desu ka?" He asked as Kaoru glared at him.
"Wa Kamiya Kaoru desu..." She said as she grinded her teeth. "Naraku!! You beast!! you'll pay for hurting Inuyasha!!" She shouted as she and Kagome helped Inuyasha to his knees as he growled at him.
Naraku's response was an evil laugh as he smirked at her. "Well Inuyasha I must say she is like you in a way...she has a fiery spirit and a short temper...a nice pick I must say-"
"Naraku!!! Tomare!! You Kusotare!!! I'm going to rip you to shreds!!!" He tried to stand but fell right back as the others shouted out to him.
"Inuyasha you can't keep fighting! Your to weak we have to treat your wounds!" Yelled Kagome as she held a fist of his fire-rat Haori tears falling from her eyes.
He growled lowly at his perdicament seeing this Naraku laughed once more. "Sore ne Inuyasha? You can't fight no more...well then I'll just have to kill you now while your still down..." He turned to Kagura as he nodded his head signaling for her to attack. "Well Inuyasha it has been fun but I must-Ahhhhh!!" He screamed in pain as he felt an arrow pierce his left arm as he glanced toward it he found it was no longer there. "You!!!" He looked up to see Kaoru with a deadly expression upon her lovely face. "You Bitch! You'll pay!! IMA Kagura!" And with that Kagura send her Dragon Serpent's Dance the whirlwinds blowed towards them.
Kaoru stood perfectly still in front of them as the others perpared themselves for the attack behind her. Inuyasha looked up as he shouted out. "GET OUT OF THE WAY!!! YOU'LL GET KILLED!!! KAORU!!!" She glanced behind her as Inuyasha crawled his way to her.
"Inuyasha!! Stay back!!! Me and Kagome can take care of it!!" She said but he shook his head. 'Uuh, he's to stubborn!' She looked toward Sango and Miroku. "Sango! Miroku! Get Inuyasha out of here!!!" She said in a demanding voice. They looked towards her as they quickly nodded their heads not wanting to argue with her they lifted Inuyasha on Kirara as he struggled to get off. Kaoru then turned toward Kagome as she watched Shippo ride on Kirara as well. "Kagome I'll need your help!" Kagome understood as they both soon pulled out an arrow from behind them as they both narrowed their eyes. "Kagome! Ready!!"
"Hai! Get set!" Kagome shouted as they knotched their arrows back as the whirlwinds were getting closer.
"GO!!!!!" Both girls screamed as their arrows were released through the air as Kagome's pink-purple arrow sliced through the winds destroying them as it headed straight for Kagura. While Kaoru's bluish-indigo arrow pireced through the winds as well destroying it completely as it soon went straight for Naraku's heart.
As the arrows were about to finish them off Naraku wrapped themselves in his poisonous vapors as he then shouted out before it broke through his shield. "You are lucky Inuyasha!! I'll spare your life for now...but next time you will die by my hands...and not even your onna atarashii will be able to save you...Hahahahaha!!! But I must ask...what will Kikyo say to this...Hahahahaha" Then the arrows broke through his shield as the mist soon died out after the impact knowing that...Naraku had escaped.
Kagome and Kaoru exchanged glances as they frowned at the situation, then headed back to the others who were waiting. Once they got there Sango had finished wrapping Inuyasha's and Miroku's wounds as she glanced at the two. "So he escaped again...?" They nodded their heads as Kagome sat next to Inuyasha who was glaring at Kaoru.
She noticed this then narrowed her eyes at him. "What's wrong Inuyasha? Why are you glaring at me?" She asked as he stood up then dashed towards the forest as Kagome yelled at him to come back. Kaoru's eyebrows knitted together in confusion as she looked toward Sango for an explanation.
Sango just shrugged and shook her head as saying "I have no clue." Kaoru not like being left in the dark followed right after him as Kagome was about to follow but was stopped by Miroku.
"Kagome-Sama I think it's best to allow them to discuss their dispute privately." He stated as Kagome hesitated at first but knobbed her head in agreement. "Well then shall we leave them be and head out to Keade's village and wait for them there?" Asked Miroku as they nodded their heads then started to head to the opposite direction. Kagome glanced behind her as she sighed deeply. 'I hope they'll be fine...but why would Inuyasha be angry at Kaoru-chan? He was never this angry before to actually run-off...Ohhh I hope they get along...' With that thought she then turned her head back straight ahead as she and Shippo started to chat away laughing here and there...but she couldn't help but worry for them...after all their back there in the forest...alone...
-x-x-x-
Inuyasha stomped through the forest going to the only place that would ease his mind and body...the only place where he could have peace and tranquilaty...the Goshinboku tree. The very same tree that he was sealed to for fifty years by his first love...Kikyo. Naraku's words still lingered in him as he sat on the foot of the anicent tree as his words repeated in his mind. "You were lucky Inuyasha!! I'll spare your life for now...but next time you will die by my hands...and not even your onna atarashii will be able to save you...But I must ask...what will Kikyo say to this..." Inuyasha growled as his face darken. 'Naraku!..That Yaoru!!...He escaped...but why? Why did he call Kaoru...My New Woman? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, she is Not my "New Woman" She's just a freind...and nothing more...but why...did I feel afraid...when she...' "Feh, it's not like I give a damn about it!" He said as he looked towards the forest as his mind scattered here and there. He was so caught up in his mind he didn't catch the sweet scent of Jasmine nor heard her soft footsteps...
Kaoru used her Ken-Ki she had learned from Sango as she tried to sense Inuyasha. Once she felt his presense she walked onward until she saw him. He sat under a large tree she looked up to it as something strucked her odd...'That tree...have I seen it somewhere?' She shook the thought away then slowly walked up to Inuyasha who still had not noticed her yet. She slowly sat next to him as she glanced at his troubled face. 'I wonder what's he thinking of to make him look this way?' She softly and gently asked. "Inuyasha?"
He jumped to a start as he looked at her with surprise written clearly over his golden-amber eyes. "K-Kaoru? What are you doing here?" He asked as he sat down once more as he watched Kaoru fiddle with the tie of her hakama.
"Ano...Inuyasha...why were you mad at me...back there?" She asked softly as she lifted her head towards him.
His eyes soon harden once he remembered why he came here then quickly diverted his gaze from hers. She frowned at him as a vein popped out on her temple. She then yanked a piece of his hair which got his attention. "Itai!!! Onna let go!!!!" He squeaked as she yanked even harder. "Kaoru!!! Let go!!!" He tired in vain as he tired to push away from her only resoulting in more pain.
Her anger once more getting the better of her. "Not until you look at me straight in the face Inuyasha!!" She stated as she pulled even harder on his hair. "Inuyasha look at me!!!" He still continue to look away as Kaoru then lowered her head her, bangs covering her eyes as hurt could be seen in their depths her grip on his hair lossen. "Inuyasha..." She spoke softly that sent shivers up his spine. "...Look at me...onegai...Inuyasha..." She asked.
His eyes widen as he slowly but steadly gazed at her. She soon lifted her head as her glazed eyes met his. 'Wha? Her eyes...is she...Crying?' His own eyes matched her's as he felt concern for her. "...Kaoru..." She soon grab a fist full of his haori then layed her head on his chest and cried. Inuyasha stayed paralized as he felt his haori dampen by her tears. 'What am I going to do? I...it's my fault she's crying...but what am I going to do?' He then subconsiously wrapped his arms around her as he layed his head on top of her's. "Kaoru...stop crying...I don't like it when you cry...onegai..." He asked softly to her shaken form.
She sniffed before glancing at him with saddeness in her sapphire eyes as she then pulled away stopping shortly to look down his damp Haori. "Inuyasha...gomen nasai..." She said so softly that he had to srain his ears to hear it.
'Wha? She's apologizing?' "What the hell are you apologizing for?" He asked as he lifted her chin up to gaze at her face. "And why the tears?"
She bit her lower lip as she looked away from him then answered. "I'm sorry...for wetting your haori..."
He blinked his eyes as he looked down to see his now dark red damp haori. "Yeah and so? I don't care...that's what it's there for..."
She smiled softly at his answer then continued with her's. "And I'm sorry...for making you anger at me..."
His eyes widen but soften. 'How can I be such a Baku?!...I'm making her cry and yet...she's apologizing...' He shook his head as she continued to look away from him. Intsead she glanced up toward the tree that they sat on but was interuppted by Inuyasha. "Iie, it's not that I was angry at you I was...angry at Naraku...and what he said..." He looked away as he blushed lightly at his confession not noticing she too blushed as she recalled what Naraku had said.
She closed her eyes briefly then slowly stood up at which Inuyasha turned his face questioning her sudden movement. She smiled kindly at him then turned her back towards him as she took a few steps back. "Oh...sou ka...I'm...glad your not...mad at me..."
He stood up as well but kept a netrual face as he advanced towards her. "Yeah well I'm also kinda mad for what you did...you could have gotten killed!!" He shouted which caused Kaoru to turn to him with her eyes narrowed in slits.
"Well Inuyasha! He could have killed us all!! If I didn't do anything!!!" She shouted right back as it soon lead to an all out war.
"Yeah! But you should have letted me handle it!"
"But you were injuried!"
"Feh, I still could have socked him up good!"
"No, you would not!"
"Yes, I would!!!
"NO, YOU WOULD NOT!!"
"YES, I WOULD SHIMATTA!!!
"Grrrrrrrr, INUYASHA!!! NO!! YOU WOULDN'T"
"Feh, I WOULD AND YOU KNOW IT!!!"
"WELL THEN!! YOUR MAD AT ME FOR PROTECTING EVERYONE?!"
"NO I'M NOT!!! I JUST WANTED TO KILL HIM!!"
"SO THEN WHY ARE YOU PISSED AT ME!!! SHIMATTA!!!"
"BECAUSE GODDAMMIT!! I WANTED TO PROTECT YOU!!!!" He shouted.
Her eyes widen as her heart suddenly began to speed up as it banged in her chest threating to burst right out. "Y-You wanted t-to protect me?..." She asked as Inuyasha finally realized what he said then quickly turned away blushing different shades of red.
"Wha? What?! Of course not! Y-You must be h-hearing wrong! Why would I w-want to protect a wench like y-you...I-I..." He stuttered as he took a few steps back away from her.
She slowly walked up to him then layed her head on the small of his back, holding on to his haori as she felt his muscles stiffen but relax after a while. "Inuyasha..." She closed her eyes then savered the moment she had with him. 'He wanted to protect me...that's why he was mad...I see now...' She smiled as she continue to stay that way. "Inuyasha...arigatou..." She then reluntletly pulled away then stood by his side as he gazed at her with questioning eyes. She shook her head then grabbed his hand with hers as she began to push him toward where the others had gone off to. "Lets go Inuyasha! The others are waiting for us! We don't want to keep them waiting..." She came to a halt as she glanced at him with knowing eyes. "And also...don't worry anymore Inuyasha...I understand now...I won't do that again...I promise..." She whispered to him softly as she squeezed his hand. 'But if it is to protect you and my new friends...I would do anything...'
He snorted then looked away. "Feh, What the hell are you talking about!? I wasn't worried!! Sheesh! Can't a guy say anything that won't be turned around these days..." 'But then again...at least she understands it now...' "But yeah okay...your forgiven, seeing your petty face makes me want to barf..." He said teasenly as his eyes glimered with mischive in them as Kaoru took the hint.
Her face also darkening mischively at him. "Oh really...well then I guess I'll just have to..." He lifted an eyebrow as he waited to finish her sentence. "Well I'll just have to...EAT ALL YOUR RAMAN!!!" She then raced off as Inuyasha's eyes widen in terror.
'Wha?! SHE'S GOING TO EAT MY RAMAN!!!' "Grrrrrrrrrr, KAORU!!!! DON"T YOU DARE!!!!! Grrrrrr!!! KAORU!!!" He then dashed out trying to catch up with her as he subconsiously smile at her antics. 'Hmm...Kaoru...I'll never understand how you make me forget all my troubles so easily like you do...but I wouldn't trade it for the world...' He ran up to her to see that she had entered the village and was heading towards Kaede's hut. "Oi!!! KAORU DON"T YOU TOUCH MY RAMAN!!!"
She glanced behind her shoulder to see him catch up, she smiled at him as she continued to run toward Kaede's hut. 'I'm glad I got him to forget his anger for a while...' She blushed lightly at what he said. "Because goddammit!! I wanted to protect you!!..." She shook the words away. 'No...he only said that because he cares for me...for all of us...that's why...' She then shouted back at him. "WELL THEN YOU'LL HAVE TO CATCH ME FIRST!!!!" She then ran in the hut followed closely by the Hanyou who shook his head then halted to a stop right outside the front entrance. Kaoru soon pushed the shoji away as she glanced at him. "Why did you stop? Inuyasha-" She didn't have time to finish her sentence when Inuyasha pulled her in to his arms her face flushed at the sudden contact.
He stroke her midnight-raven hair as he sensed nobody noticing them then whispered in her ear so that only she could hear. "Arigatou, Kaoru...for making me...happy..." Just as quickly as he held her he let go then procceded to venture inside leaving a confused Kaoru alone outside.
Her brows knotted together in confusion at his actions. 'What was that all about?...hmm he said I make him happy?...' She blushed lightly as she remembered the warmth of his chest pressed against hers. 'Noooo bad Kaoru you have someone else...I have...Kenshin...' Her eyes sadden at the thought of him. "I hope their doing alright without me..." She blinked her eyes as it began to blur she shook her head sadly then gasped. She turned around with firece anger as she realized that Inuyasha tricked her. 'Shoot he's good...' She instead of barging in and whacking him silly she giggled at his actions. "Well he did catch me after all so I guess that counts...hmm, well I can't stay here all day now can I?!" With that said she calmly walked into the hut with her companions and friends as they relaxed for the night, so they may start their next day a new...
-x-x-x-
"Is everything prepared?" asked a dark voice as the figure turned to a slime woman who was just as dark as himself.
"Yes, I have everything ready and it seems that the new girl Inuyasha is keeping is very special to him, probably even more special then Kikyo and that other girl, Kagome combined." She stated as she watch her partner lift a brow.
"Really...so it's true then she is his new woman...interesting I might have some use for her after all...Hmm..." He said as he looked into a small, white, blank mirror when it suddenly showed Inuyasha and the "new woman" embracing eachother outside of a hut nearby. "Now, do know anything about her that I should know besides her name...after all she was kind enough to inform us with that fact already." He asked as he gazed at the female companion of his.
She nodded her head then procceded to answer him. "Hai, besides her name...Kaoru is not from this world...she is like that girl Kagome...she is from the future...about I believe in the late 1800's..." She informed as he hmmed in delight.
"Ahhh, Sou ka I see why she is so different from both Kikyo and Kagome...intriguing." He then glanced back at the mirror to see only the girl Kaoru by herself staring right at his line of vesion as he narrowed his eyes. 'Can she sense us spying?' He shook his head then smirked triamphicly as he watched her go inside the hut. "Well I must say that Inuyasha made a good pick, for she is exquisite...I'd like to have her after this is all worked out...what fun I'll have...hahahaha!!" He laughed evily as his partner rolled her eyes in disgust.
"So what do you want me to do now?" She asked trying to change the subject as quick as possible.
He staighten himself as he rubbed his chin in thought. "I want you to keep watching them learn what their weaknesses especially Kaoru...we must try to bring them done one by one...yes, for now follow their every movement and strike when I give the signal understood." He said as a demand not as a question. She nodded her head and was about to open the shoji to the room when he called out to her. "And don't fail me...the trap for Inuyasha and his new lover will comence when I learn more of their friends...don't fail me Kagura." He said as she nodded her head then bowed to him before speaking.
"Of course, I will not fail you Naraku-sama." With that she opened the shoji then closed it with a "Click" then headed outside where she took out a small feather from her hair. Then throw it up in the air where it transformed to a larger feather. She hopped up on it then quickly headed to the village where Inuyasha and the others resided, she narrowed her eyes as she looked up at the night sky. 'Someday...I will be out of Naraku's grasp...but for now I will have to follow his orders...but when that day comes where I am free from him...I will kill him with my own two hands...someday I will be free...like the wind...' She continued on her voyage as the day began to grow dark as the moon began to rise from its sleep. The stars twinkled lightly shining at what the future will hold for our heroes...
Here below is a bit of the next chapter enjoy and oh plz review!!!! :)
She panted as she sprinted to the well she had crawled out of then glanced around her with her bow and arrow, but suddenly as she turned around she was face to face with him..."Why!!! Why are you doing this!!!" She screamed as she backed way from him as he advanced to her with a smirk snaking his way to his lips as he shrugged lightly at her frantic question.
"I don't know...maybe I want to make you suffer...of I just want you..." He said his voice filled with lust as his amber eyes scanned her body briefly before looking into her frighten eyes.
She shook her head as tears flowed out on her porculain face. She pulled out her arrow as she felt the hard solid wood of the well meeting her knees. "G-Get away!! Or I-I'll sh-shoot you!" She said in vain as he took another step towards her as she bit her lower lip in fear.
"Now you know you can't hurt me...after all I might die if you did ne?" He asked as he cupped her face. She tried to squirm away from him but he held her tight. "Now is that anyway to treat me, after all the things I did for you?" He asked as started to kiss away her tears as she shut her eyelids tight.
She tried to escape once more but it did no good his grip was to strong. 'How am I going to get out of here?' Her thoughts ended when she felt him take the Shikon no Tama that hanged around her neck. "No!! Give it back!!!" She shouted.
He looked at it then back at her smirking once more. "No I think I won't do that...your no longer in charge of it as of now...but thanks I'll take it with gratitude...Arigatou for the farewell gift to bad I don't have one for you..." Her eyes held confusion as he stood perfectly still as he answered her silent question. "But I promise to make it up to you someday...heehee farewell Kamiya Kaoru...it was fun while it lasted." he said then suddenly she felt pushed backwards as she fell through the well. She screamed in fear as she looked up at the opening of the well to see him waving at her.
Her tears trailed behind her as she screamed out his name. "INUYASHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!" Then the same pink-purplish light swallowed her whole as he shook his head at her.
"Sorry..." He said without any remorse as Inuyasha laughed out loud. "Sorry Kaoru...But I'm not Inuyasha...hahahaha!!" Then "Inuyasha" began to change soon his face and body began to change into his formal self. "Well now it's Inuyasha's turn to suffer...this is to easy...just like fifty years ago..." with that he turned away and became one with the shadows as if it never happened...leaving behind her bow and arrow as the only fact of her existence...
Ohhhh!! who could it be?! Hehee will hoped you like this, Ja ne!!!! See ya next Chap!!!! But PLZ REVIEW!!!!!!! (:

Chapter 3: As Time Goes By...
Kaoru's POV...
--------------
The day became a new as the sun began to rise from it's slumber as the wind began to come back to life blowing through the air. People also began to awake to the new day as they all settled to eat breakfast with their loved ones, as the children dashed outside to play with childhood friends the day grew warmer as if pleased by the sight. The village soon began to bust with people as they went about their daily things ignoring others as they walked about to busy to notice a young maiden on top a hillside gazing at each face she could see. This woman wore something that consisted of a Miko's robe but held her Midnight-blue black hair loose as the wind blew about pushing her hair here and fro. She had a beautiful face that was held in a calm expression much like a Miko should. But to many who ever glinpse at her would gaze until the world itself ends for you would be trapped within her by merely her eyes. She had a unique set of Sapphire jems that glowed when ever she spoke, her voice as soft as silk and her radiant smile would win any man's heart...But she was not suppost to be there, she was not suppost to be a Miko...She was just suppost to be Kaoru Kamiya...the Tomboy...not a Miko...She was suppost to be in Tokyo, Japan...not in Edo,Yamato...But in the Meiji Era...Not the Sengoku Jidai...But why here? Why?...she didn't know...
-
"Why am I here?" I whsipered to the wind as it flew towards the sky as I watched the children play in the fields. "Why am I not home? At the Dojo?" I asked but recieved no answer. It has been a week since I have stayed with Inuyasha and the gumi...a whole week... 'One whole week! But why? This is no dream I know that...but why?' Don't get me wrong I love it here...the place is so wonderful so peaceful and I have made great friends with the Inu-Tashi like Sango...She is like me in a way...we both have lost what was importent to us and we both are independent, strong and wise for our youths, and also it is good to know I'm not the only Tomboy around. Then there's Kagome...she and I are alike in the cheerfulness we both share, we are both always happy and ready to help others in need...at first though I thought she despised me but now I see she is not what I thought she was...she's a very kindhearted person. Then there's Houshi-Sama or Miroku...My eyes harden at the thought 'That Hentai...ohhh How I hate it when he tries to grope me...hentai...' He's what you call a "half" for he can be a friend and a punching bag all at the same time...he really needs to learn not to grope women...especially the ones that can kickass...I giggled at the thought...Then there was both Kirara and Shippo...oh just the thought of them makes me want to cuddle them...their so adorable...espcially Shippo, he's so Kawaii...but a little of a big mouth...much like... 'Yahiko...' I shook the thought away, but what also surprised me was that Kirara would transform into a huge Neko-Youkai which was at first shocking but after a while I got use to her changing...Oh, and hai they know all about me as well...I told them of where I came and how I came to be here...and they had excepted me like it was their everyday thing. I smiled at the memory as I layed there on the soft green grass..."So many great people..." I whispered as I allowed my mind to flashback on that touching memory...
(:x:)
She glanced at each new face as she subconsiously leaned behind Inuyasha, she looked toward the Hanyou then to Kagome with shy sapphire eyes. Inuyasha smelled her fear then glanced at her shortly before turning back to his group. He cleared his throut then stated. "Sango, Miroku, Kaede, Shippo, and Kagome...this is...umm..." He turned towards her becking for her to speak.
She gazed at him then swallowed the heavy lump that was forming in her mouth then glanced at the Miko who was head of the Village. "Atashi no namae wa desu Kamiya Kaoru..." She said shyly then glanced at the two called Sango and Miroku then at Shippo and waited for what they had to say.
Sango locked eyes with Miroku as they nodded their heads in a silent agreement, Sango gazed at Kaoru then smiled warmly at her. "Ohayo Kaoru-san wa Sango desu...and this is..." She pointed towards Miroku who smiled boyishly at Kaoru.
"Ore wa Miroku desu ka, Kaoru-sama."He said calmly at her then he pushed Shippo towards her wanting him to greet her next.
Shippo bounced up and down with impatience, he looked towards Kaoru then jumped on her lap startling her a bit. "Oi! Watashi wa Shippo desu!!" Then pointed to the chibi-neko that was behind him. "To kore neko Kirara desu ka!!" He stated sweetly as he bounced on her shoulder then on top of her head, which made her giggle at him. "Hey?! What's so funny?" He asked confusion shone in his eyes.
Kaoru scooped him off her head then cradled him as she smiled brightly at him. "Ano...you don't even know me and yet you bounce on my head...so I thought that was funny..."
He shook his head then stood on her lap as Kirara jumped on top as well. "Nah, your not a stranger anymore! You know our names and we know your's so your one of us now!!! Right Inuyasha!" He said as he turned toward Inuyasha who had sat quietly watching them.
Inuyasha gazed at Kaoru softly as she smiled back at him, he smiled back and subconsiously agreed. "Yeah, she is...one of us." Kaede noticed this turned to Kaoru then gasped softly which everyone noticed, Kagome stood next to her worry written on her chocolate covered eyes then asked. "Kaede-sama, daijoubu?"
Kaede instead of answering walked up to her then bended down to Kaoru's level, then grabbed her chin squinting her eyes examing her face. Kaoru blinked her eyes rapidly as she bit her lower lip nervously waiting for Kaede to finish whatever she was doing.
Inuyasha's eye twitched at her then stood up pointing at Kaede. "Hey! What the hell are you doing you old lady!!"
She waved him away which ticked him even more, he was about to shout at her but she cut him off. "Aye Inuyasha calm down...ye not worry...now nay child tell me how ye came to this world." She asked as everyone gasped. "Ye are not of this world...for ye had came from the well that Kagome-chan came from...and yet ye not now what of this place is...nay child..." She stated as Kaoru's widen in surprise.
Kaoru looked away as she felt Inuyasha's intensive gaze fall apon her, she closed her eyes as they began to water. 'Are they going to believe me...that I'm not from this world at all?...are they still going to be...friends with me...will Inuyasha believe me?' She looked toward Kaede then smiled bitterly at her. "Hai, Kaede-sama...I am not from this world...not from this time anyway..." She said then lowered her head as she waited for them to throw her out of there, or leave her, or worse hate her, but nothing happened. She glanced to see everyone staring at her with awe instead of anger, she glanced at Inuyasha to see him too struck in awe and not anger.
She licked her delicate dry lips as she waited for them, luckly Kagome was the first to recover. "Wow! Really? Me to!! Now I'm not the only one who time travels anymore!" She stated happily as she took out her hand. "Gomen I didn't introduced myself...wa Kagome Higurashi desu ka!! Great to know your like me!"
Kaoru stared at her out stretched hand then lapsed it with her's, she shook it gently as she smiled warmly at her. "Ano...arigatou, Kagome-san...I guess...but what do you mean by that?...are you like me too?" She nodded her head in agreement as they dropped their hands then Kaoru turned toward Kaede. "Um...ano, Kaede-sama my I ask you why you were examining me?"
Kaede nodded her then stood infront of her. "Aye child you just...remind me of someone that is all..." 'Someone that was very powerful...but could it be?' She shook her head then asked Kaoru. "Now child tell me how you came to this world as you know that Kagome-chan is also not from here...she is from the future...ne Kagome-chan?" Kaoru blinked her eyes then gazed at Kagome who nodded her head happily.
"Yup! I'm from the year 1995 modern day Tokyo, Japan! and what time are you from?" She asked as she seated herself next to Kaoru, who's eyes bulgged right out.
"Nani!! Your from the year !995 of Tokyo, Japan!? Wow your way ahead of me...for I am from the year 1878 of Tokyo, Japan!" Kagome's eyes widen at this as everyone blinked their eyes.
Kaede nodded her head then sat next to the two raven-heads as she glanced at both. "Sou ka...ye child is a centry behind Kagome-chan but two centries ahead of ours...interesting...nay child tell us how you came here...tell me every last detail ye remember..."
She nodded her head then procceded with her tale. [Now we all know what happened to her so lets just skip the explaining part for now ne?] "And once the blue light started to grow lighter it blew Goshinkei Cosega away from me, then I fell through the well and came here..." She finished as everyone absorbed the information that she gave then Kaede took hold of her right hand and turned it up to see her palm.
"Ye said that the blue glow came from your hand nay child?" She nodded her head. "And that it blasted that Goshinkei away from ye correct?" Once more a nod. "Hmm..." 'So I was right she is...her desendent...it is clear now...' "Ye child have a special gift much like Kagome-chan has...I believe that ye were able to come to this world because of a reason...and because of the Shikon no Tama..." She glanced toward Kagome and nodded her head as Kagome took out what appeared like half of a pink crystal jewel, Kaede took it from her then placed it in her right palm. "This child is the Shikon no Tama...it is what I believe is what brought ye here, for ye had said that ye had fell throught the well and at the same time Kagome-chan was nearby the well...I believe because of Kagome-chan being near with thy jewel it opened a passage way for ye to cross over..." She stated as Kaoru gazed at it intensivly as it suddenly started to glow a pinkish color. Everyone gasped as it soon turned a deep, dark blue then finally turned back to its original pale pink. Kaoru gazed nervously at Kaede who calmly layed a hand on top of her's. "Ye child is very special...ye have great power...but for now, me and Kagome-chan will train ye to be able to use it...with a bow and arrow...after all ye will have to accompany with Inuyasha and the gumi..." Everyone gasped as she held out her hand to stop them from protesting. "It has been decided! She has great spiritual powers like Kagome-chan and since she is here she will go with ye to find thy jewel shards, am I not correct Inuyasha? Since now that Kaoru-chan is here...I am sure that Naraku will find out and...might do the unthinkable...if he knows of Kaoru-chan's power...she must learn how to fight if it were to happen..." She finished as she glanced softly at Kaoru who had a confused expression. "Ye child will know in time of what is happening in this world..."
Inuyasha stood then walked up to Kaoru then kneeled to her eye level then softly said. "...Kaoru...I don't mind at all if you come with us...cause I'll promise to protect you from harm...and from Naraku..."He spat with venom at the name but smiled warmly at her. "But I will only do this...if you stay...by my side...will you? Will you stay by my side...Kaoru?..." He asked as everyone waited in anticpation then Kaoru's eyes glimered with tears as she took his hand in hers smiling luminously like the sun itself which Inuyasha secretly loved as his heart felt light.
She then nodded her head as she gazed up at him. "Hai, Inuyasha...I want to stay by your side...I wish to stay...with all of you...always..." At that everyone smiled brightly and agreed that now they had made a new companion and a new friend...
:)x(:
"Life is full of surprises..." I said softly as I continued to watch the fields around me...but then last but not least there was...Inuyasha. My cheeks redden as a smile glazed upon my face...I shook my head once more but it didn't help...I sighed as I stood up and began to walk down the hill not toward the village but towards the forest...Inuyasha's forest...where the others were waiting...I sighed once more as I looked towards the now light blue sky as I suddenly saw his face in the clouds...I blinked my eyes to see it wasn't him... "Just my imagination..." 'But why? Why do I think of him?..I mean sure he was kind enough to let me join their group...but why?' Hai, I know...what and why they are after...Naraku I believe it was his name...the man said to have destroyed their happiness...a Hanyou like Inuyasha who wanted...the Shikon No Tama...the jewel that was shattered and now half hangs around Kagome's neck...I know about what he has done to Miroku and Sango...but not Inuyasha...they didn't explain his reason for hunting down the shards and wanting revenge on Naraku...but I respect that... 'Why would it matter? We all have things in our pasts we don't want to talk about, and he's no exception...' I paused in my tracks as I thought over it...Didn't those words...Didn't I say them to...Kenshin...The thought of him made my heart ache 'Kenshin...I miss you...all of you...Sano, Yahiko, Megumi, Misao, and everyone else...even Hiko and Aoshi...I miss all of you guys...when will I go back?' I shook my head. "No! It's not the time to think of the past...I have to help Inuyasha and the others with the jewel..." I picked up the pace as I soon saw the campsite we settled in. I then saw Shippo and Kirara running towards me squealing in childish joy.
"Kaoru!!! Your back! What took you!!!" Said Shippo as he and Kirara jumped in my arms. "Meow!" I smiled at them. They were so Kawaii when they do this.
I laughed softly at them. "Oh Gomen nasai Shippo, Kirara I was thinking that's all..." I said as we headed towards Sango and Kagome who were making breakfast.
"Oh Hey! Kaoru-Chan! There you are! We were starting to worry!" Said Kagome as she smiled in relief.
"Hai, We were about to go looking for you Kaoru..." Said Sango as she shook her head slightly. "Next time tell us where you'll go if you won't mind..." She finished as she steer the soup she and Kagome made.
I looked at them with guilt written over my face. "Gomen I just wanted some time alone...gomen..." I said. But they shook their heads as they didn't mind. We were about to talk more but then Miroku and Inuyasha emerge from behind the bushes.
Both had flush faces as they breathed deeply we all asked at the same time. "Are you guys ok? What happened?"
Miroku sighed then chuckled a bit then strolled towards us. "Oh there you are Kaoru-Sama...we were looking for you!" He said as my eyes widen. "We were getting worried so we began to search around when you didn't return last night."
I blinked a few times as I looked towards Inuyasha to see him turn away. His face still flushed I felt guilt consume me as I glanced at the ground. 'How Baka I am!!! I made the others worry about me...like I did with the Kenshin-Gumi...' I looked at Miroku then at Inuyasha as he approached us. I gulped down a lump as he gazed at me with anger...and concern? I shook it away as I sighed. "I'm sorry Houshi-Sama...I didn't mean to worry everyone...Gomen nasai...Inuyasha..." I said as I glanced towards him to see his eyes widen.
"Feh! Oh just be quiet Onna!...Miroku here was worried so he asked me to look for you with him...it's not like I was worried!..." He said with arrogence that I knew to well.
I sighed at him then smiled at Houshi-Sama as an apology. I looked towards Inuyasha who I knew was secretly watching me from the corner of his eye. I walked towards him as I continue to hold Shippo and Kirara in my arms I watched as he looked up with that Kawaii confused expression that I enjoyed seeing. I was a few feet away from him as a sad frown settled my features. "Inu...yasha...Suminusen...I didn't...mean to worry you-all of you..." I said as I gazed at everyone then back to Inuyasha who had a shock expression in his eyes. "Gomen Nasai...Minna-san..."
"Feh, don't apologize for that...Like I said I wasn't worried so it's fine!" Inuyasha reasoned as I smiled at him in understanding while the others nodded their heads in agreement.
"Hai, Kaoru-Sama no harm done so let us forget this incident and enjoy our meal shall we?" Miroku declared as we all agreed then settled down as we ate. I conversed with Sango and Kagome as laughter filled me as they talked about the past events they all shared while jewel hunting. 'Wow! I didn't know that Inuyasha and the gumi had this much fun...it reminds me of...my family...' My eyes sadden as I thought of the other friends I have left behind.
Kagome must have noticed my lack of interest when she asked me. "Daijoubu Kaoru-Chan? You don't look so well?" She asked full of concern as the others stopped their talk and gazed at me. My cheeks redden as I felt Inuyasha's intense gaze fall upon my small frame. I was about to answer them when the area around us suddenly started to blow and scatter everything around us. I felt harsh winds push all of us a few feet away from the campsite. I felt someone grab me as we made way, as we landed I fell on top of something warm. I looked up to see Inuyasha's face looking back down at me.
"Are you alright Kaoru?" He asked softly as he helped me to my feet. I nodded my head as I looked to my side to see Sango with Kirara in her Neko-Youkai form, and Kagome and Miroku not to far away. I sighed in relief as I saw they were not injuried. I turned as I saw Inuyasha's eyes narrow at a woman...with a colorful Kimono, black hair tied up in a high ponytail, she had large red eyes and a fan. But what shocked me was she had an evil smirk on her face as she locked eyes with Inuyasha.
"Oi! Inuyasha...Nice to see you again...sorry I had to blow like that, but you know how I make my presence known..." She spoke with venom as she spat at him all the while he was gripping the helt of Tetsuseiga anger glazing his hansome features.
"Well, well, well nice to see you to Kagura...but to bad it will have to be short." And with that he took out tetsuseiga which transformed to it's true form all thw while grinning at her. "Time to meet your end Kagura!!!" With that he dashed right to her.
I snapped out of my stuper as Sango rode up to me with Kirara with a bow and arrow in her grasp...I accepted it as I got in to a battle mode...Hai, ever since I got here I was taught how to use a bow and arrow by Kagome and Keade-Sama for in this time they didn't use any wooden swords...I readied myself as I sensed more demons heading towards us...I gripped on my quiver as the others readied themselves for the upcoming attack...at which I realized that this...Naraku fellow was watching close by as I figured that he had to have been watching us to know where we have been...Anger and determination filled within me as I knotched my arrow back much like Kagome had shown me before...'That yarou...that coward...he's hiding somewhere nearby not doing anything while his minions do all his dirty work...I can see why they despise him so...well if I get my hands on him...he'll pay!!!' With that thought in mind I watched as I released my arrow as it glowed a navy blue as it then flew by and hit a demon as it came by as more soon replaced it...this wasn't going to be easy that much I knew but I wasn't going to give up...I glanced out at the others as they fought on...giving their all and that's what I'll do too...I quickly pulled another arrow as it soon flew by killing the demons nearby...it will take a while but with faith I know we'll win...I just know it...
-Normal POV
The battle raged on as Inuyasha and Kagura faced off, Inuyasha leaped into the air as Kagura sended her blades of wind at him. With a battle cry he desended in the air with his sword in front of him she looked up just in time as she dodge his attack as she lifted her wrist upwards as whirlwinds rushed towards him. Meanwhile the other's were taking down the other demons as Kirara ripped out the flesh of a demon while Sango used her Hiraikotsu to chop them down, as Miroku used his Kazaana to suck up the remaining ones and as Kaoru and Kagome were faced back to back killing the rest of the demons while Shippo hid behind the two girls. Inuyasha and Kagura continued to battle until Kagome sensed a jewel shard. "Inuyasha!! There is a jewel shard nearby and it's coming closer!"
Inuyasha's ears twitched as he heard her then quickly dodged one of Kagura's attack as he glanced at her. "Are you sure Kagome!?" Her response was a nod of her head as Inuyasha soon sniffed out a scent...an all to familiar scent, its scent angered him as he snapped his head towards Kagura as he watched a shadowy figure lurk behind her. "Grrrrrrrr, Naraku!!!! Come fight me like a man!!!! Or at least like the Hanyou you really are!!" He shouted as that got the attention of the figure as it shown itself to be none other then Naraku himself. "Well at last you show yourself coward!! Now prepare to DIE!!!" Inuyasha yelled as he ran up to him. "Kaze-No-Kizu!!!!!" Then his sword released a white light as the wind scar flew at Naraku and Kagura as they stood there smirking the explosion soon swallowed them whole as the group stopped to watch as the wind scar made impact...
They waited as Kagome tried to sense the jewel shard but couldn't feel anything, she shook her head at them as Kaoru and Sango approached closer to Inuyasha then Miroku and Kagome followed behind, Kaoru was the first to speak. "Did you get them Inuyasha?" He turned towards her as a sigh escaped his lips before he sank to his knees gripping his sides. "Inuyasha!!" Kaoru shouted as the others gathered up to the two as she layed his head on her lap. "We have to help him!" Kaoru shouted. "We have to-" She couldn't finish when the air blew roughly at them as they shielded their eyes, they turned to see Kagura and Naraku standing without a scar as Naraku chuckled at the scene.
"Ah! Inuyasha...you ahou do you think your little wind trick can kill me? What a Inu Baku you are...Hmm, Ah! Kore wa nan desu ka?" He asked as he gazed at Kaoru his eyebrow lifted slightly at the young Miko. "Inuyasha...Kore onna anata no desu ka?...and here I thought that Kagome or Kikyo was your onna, but I see that you have gained yet another one...my so many women...haha!!" He laughed as he continue to gaze at Kaoru all the while ticking Inuyasha off. "My, my she is quite the looker...tell me onna, Nandai no namae wa desu ka?" He asked as Kaoru glared at him.
"Wa Kamiya Kaoru desu..." She said as she grinded her teeth. "Naraku!! You beast!! you'll pay for hurting Inuyasha!!" She shouted as she and Kagome helped Inuyasha to his knees as he growled at him.
Naraku's response was an evil laugh as he smirked at her. "Well Inuyasha I must say she is like you in a way...she has a fiery spirit and a short temper...a nice pick I must say-"
"Naraku!!! Tomare!! You Kusotare!!! I'm going to rip you to shreds!!!" He tried to stand but fell right back as the others shouted out to him.
"Inuyasha you can't keep fighting! Your to weak we have to treat your wounds!" Yelled Kagome as she held a fist of his fire-rat Haori tears falling from her eyes.
He growled lowly at his perdicament seeing this Naraku laughed once more. "Sore ne Inuyasha? You can't fight no more...well then I'll just have to kill you now while your still down..." He turned to Kagura as he nodded his head signaling for her to attack. "Well Inuyasha it has been fun but I must-Ahhhhh!!" He screamed in pain as he felt an arrow pierce his left arm as he glanced toward it he found it was no longer there. "You!!!" He looked up to see Kaoru with a deadly expression upon her lovely face. "You Bitch! You'll pay!! IMA Kagura!" And with that Kagura send her Dragon Serpent's Dance the whirlwinds blowed towards them.
Kaoru stood perfectly still in front of them as the others perpared themselves for the attack behind her. Inuyasha looked up as he shouted out. "GET OUT OF THE WAY!!! YOU'LL GET KILLED!!! KAORU!!!" She glanced behind her as Inuyasha crawled his way to her.
"Inuyasha!! Stay back!!! Me and Kagome can take care of it!!" She said but he shook his head. 'Uuh, he's to stubborn!' She looked toward Sango and Miroku. "Sango! Miroku! Get Inuyasha out of here!!!" She said in a demanding voice. They looked towards her as they quickly nodded their heads not wanting to argue with her they lifted Inuyasha on Kirara as he struggled to get off. Kaoru then turned toward Kagome as she watched Shippo ride on Kirara as well. "Kagome I'll need your help!" Kagome understood as they both soon pulled out an arrow from behind them as they both narrowed their eyes. "Kagome! Ready!!"
"Hai! Get set!" Kagome shouted as they knotched their arrows back as the whirlwinds were getting closer.
"GO!!!!!" Both girls screamed as their arrows were released through the air as Kagome's pink-purple arrow sliced through the winds destroying them as it headed straight for Kagura. While Kaoru's bluish-indigo arrow pireced through the winds as well destroying it completely as it soon went straight for Naraku's heart.
As the arrows were about to finish them off Naraku wrapped themselves in his poisonous vapors as he then shouted out before it broke through his shield. "You are lucky Inuyasha!! I'll spare your life for now...but next time you will die by my hands...and not even your onna atarashii will be able to save you...Hahahahaha!!! But I must ask...what will Kikyo say to this...Hahahahaha" Then the arrows broke through his shield as the mist soon died out after the impact knowing that...Naraku had escaped.
Kagome and Kaoru exchanged glances as they frowned at the situation, then headed back to the others who were waiting. Once they got there Sango had finished wrapping Inuyasha's and Miroku's wounds as she glanced at the two. "So he escaped again...?" They nodded their heads as Kagome sat next to Inuyasha who was glaring at Kaoru.
She noticed this then narrowed her eyes at him. "What's wrong Inuyasha? Why are you glaring at me?" She asked as he stood up then dashed towards the forest as Kagome yelled at him to come back. Kaoru's eyebrows knitted together in confusion as she looked toward Sango for an explanation.
Sango just shrugged and shook her head as saying "I have no clue." Kaoru not like being left in the dark followed right after him as Kagome was about to follow but was stopped by Miroku.
"Kagome-Sama I think it's best to allow them to discuss their dispute privately." He stated as Kagome hesitated at first but knobbed her head in agreement. "Well then shall we leave them be and head out to Keade's village and wait for them there?" Asked Miroku as they nodded their heads then started to head to the opposite direction. Kagome glanced behind her as she sighed deeply. 'I hope they'll be fine...but why would Inuyasha be angry at Kaoru-chan? He was never this angry before to actually run-off...Ohhh I hope they get along...' With that thought she then turned her head back straight ahead as she and Shippo started to chat away laughing here and there...but she couldn't help but worry for them...after all their back there in the forest...alone...
-x-x-x-
Inuyasha stomped through the forest going to the only place that would ease his mind and body...the only place where he could have peace and tranquilaty...the Goshinboku tree. The very same tree that he was sealed to for fifty years by his first love...Kikyo. Naraku's words still lingered in him as he sat on the foot of the anicent tree as his words repeated in his mind. "You were lucky Inuyasha!! I'll spare your life for now...but next time you will die by my hands...and not even your onna atarashii will be able to save you...But I must ask...what will Kikyo say to this..." Inuyasha growled as his face darken. 'Naraku!..That Yaoru!!...He escaped...but why? Why did he call Kaoru...My New Woman? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, she is Not my "New Woman" She's just a freind...and nothing more...but why...did I feel afraid...when she...' "Feh, it's not like I give a damn about it!" He said as he looked towards the forest as his mind scattered here and there. He was so caught up in his mind he didn't catch the sweet scent of Jasmine nor heard her soft footsteps...
Kaoru used her Ken-Ki she had learned from Sango as she tried to sense Inuyasha. Once she felt his presense she walked onward until she saw him. He sat under a large tree she looked up to it as something strucked her odd...'That tree...have I seen it somewhere?' She shook the thought away then slowly walked up to Inuyasha who still had not noticed her yet. She slowly sat next to him as she glanced at his troubled face. 'I wonder what's he thinking of to make him look this way?' She softly and gently asked. "Inuyasha?"
He jumped to a start as he looked at her with surprise written clearly over his golden-amber eyes. "K-Kaoru? What are you doing here?" He asked as he sat down once more as he watched Kaoru fiddle with the tie of her hakama.
"Ano...Inuyasha...why were you mad at me...back there?" She asked softly as she lifted her head towards him.
His eyes soon harden once he remembered why he came here then quickly diverted his gaze from hers. She frowned at him as a vein popped out on her temple. She then yanked a piece of his hair which got his attention. "Itai!!! Onna let go!!!!" He squeaked as she yanked even harder. "Kaoru!!! Let go!!!" He tired in vain as he tired to push away from her only resoulting in more pain.
Her anger once more getting the better of her. "Not until you look at me straight in the face Inuyasha!!" She stated as she pulled even harder on his hair. "Inuyasha look at me!!!" He still continue to look away as Kaoru then lowered her head her, bangs covering her eyes as hurt could be seen in their depths her grip on his hair lossen. "Inuyasha..." She spoke softly that sent shivers up his spine. "...Look at me...onegai...Inuyasha..." She asked.
His eyes widen as he slowly but steadly gazed at her. She soon lifted her head as her glazed eyes met his. 'Wha? Her eyes...is she...Crying?' His own eyes matched her's as he felt concern for her. "...Kaoru..." She soon grab a fist full of his haori then layed her head on his chest and cried. Inuyasha stayed paralized as he felt his haori dampen by her tears. 'What am I going to do? I...it's my fault she's crying...but what am I going to do?' He then subconsiously wrapped his arms around her as he layed his head on top of her's. "Kaoru...stop crying...I don't like it when you cry...onegai..." He asked softly to her shaken form.
She sniffed before glancing at him with saddeness in her sapphire eyes as she then pulled away stopping shortly to look down his damp Haori. "Inuyasha...gomen nasai..." She said so softly that he had to srain his ears to hear it.
'Wha? She's apologizing?' "What the hell are you apologizing for?" He asked as he lifted her chin up to gaze at her face. "And why the tears?"
She bit her lower lip as she looked away from him then answered. "I'm sorry...for wetting your haori..."
He blinked his eyes as he looked down to see his now dark red damp haori. "Yeah and so? I don't care...that's what it's there for..."
She smiled softly at his answer then continued with her's. "And I'm sorry...for making you anger at me..."
His eyes widen but soften. 'How can I be such a Baku?!...I'm making her cry and yet...she's apologizing...' He shook his head as she continued to look away from him. Intsead she glanced up toward the tree that they sat on but was interuppted by Inuyasha. "Iie, it's not that I was angry at you I was...angry at Naraku...and what he said..." He looked away as he blushed lightly at his confession not noticing she too blushed as she recalled what Naraku had said.
She closed her eyes briefly then slowly stood up at which Inuyasha turned his face questioning her sudden movement. She smiled kindly at him then turned her back towards him as she took a few steps back. "Oh...sou ka...I'm...glad your not...mad at me..."
He stood up as well but kept a netrual face as he advanced towards her. "Yeah well I'm also kinda mad for what you did...you could have gotten killed!!" He shouted which caused Kaoru to turn to him with her eyes narrowed in slits.
"Well Inuyasha! He could have killed us all!! If I didn't do anything!!!" She shouted right back as it soon lead to an all out war.
"Yeah! But you should have letted me handle it!"
"But you were injuried!"
"Feh, I still could have socked him up good!"
"No, you would not!"
"Yes, I would!!!
"NO, YOU WOULD NOT!!"
"YES, I WOULD SHIMATTA!!!
"Grrrrrrrr, INUYASHA!!! NO!! YOU WOULDN'T"
"Feh, I WOULD AND YOU KNOW IT!!!"
"WELL THEN!! YOUR MAD AT ME FOR PROTECTING EVERYONE?!"
"NO I'M NOT!!! I JUST WANTED TO KILL HIM!!"
"SO THEN WHY ARE YOU PISSED AT ME!!! SHIMATTA!!!"
"BECAUSE GODDAMMIT!! I WANTED TO PROTECT YOU!!!!" He shouted.
Her eyes widen as her heart suddenly began to speed up as it banged in her chest threating to burst right out. "Y-You wanted t-to protect me?..." She asked as Inuyasha finally realized what he said then quickly turned away blushing different shades of red.
"Wha? What?! Of course not! Y-You must be h-hearing wrong! Why would I w-want to protect a wench like y-you...I-I..." He stuttered as he took a few steps back away from her.
She slowly walked up to him then layed her head on the small of his back, holding on to his haori as she felt his muscles stiffen but relax after a while. "Inuyasha..." She closed her eyes then savered the moment she had with him. 'He wanted to protect me...that's why he was mad...I see now...' She smiled as she continue to stay that way. "Inuyasha...arigatou..." She then reluntletly pulled away then stood by his side as he gazed at her with questioning eyes. She shook her head then grabbed his hand with hers as she began to push him toward where the others had gone off to. "Lets go Inuyasha! The others are waiting for us! We don't want to keep them waiting..." She came to a halt as she glanced at him with knowing eyes. "And also...don't worry anymore Inuyasha...I understand now...I won't do that again...I promise..." She whispered to him softly as she squeezed his hand. 'But if it is to protect you and my new friends...I would do anything...'
He snorted then looked away. "Feh, What the hell are you talking about!? I wasn't worried!! Sheesh! Can't a guy say anything that won't be turned around these days..." 'But then again...at least she understands it now...' "But yeah okay...your forgiven, seeing your petty face makes me want to barf..." He said teasenly as his eyes glimered with mischive in them as Kaoru took the hint.
Her face also darkening mischively at him. "Oh really...well then I guess I'll just have to..." He lifted an eyebrow as he waited to finish her sentence. "Well I'll just have to...EAT ALL YOUR RAMAN!!!" She then raced off as Inuyasha's eyes widen in terror.
'Wha?! SHE'S GOING TO EAT MY RAMAN!!!' "Grrrrrrrrrr, KAORU!!!! DON"T YOU DARE!!!!! Grrrrrr!!! KAORU!!!" He then dashed out trying to catch up with her as he subconsiously smile at her antics. 'Hmm...Kaoru...I'll never understand how you make me forget all my troubles so easily like you do...but I wouldn't trade it for the world...' He ran up to her to see that she had entered the village and was heading towards Kaede's hut. "Oi!!! KAORU DON"T YOU TOUCH MY RAMAN!!!"
She glanced behind her shoulder to see him catch up, she smiled at him as she continued to run toward Kaede's hut. 'I'm glad I got him to forget his anger for a while...' She blushed lightly at what he said. "Because goddammit!! I wanted to protect you!!..." She shook the words away. 'No...he only said that because he cares for me...for all of us...that's why...' She then shouted back at him. "WELL THEN YOU'LL HAVE TO CATCH ME FIRST!!!!" She then ran in the hut followed closely by the Hanyou who shook his head then halted to a stop right outside the front entrance. Kaoru soon pushed the shoji away as she glanced at him. "Why did you stop? Inuyasha-" She didn't have time to finish her sentence when Inuyasha pulled her in to his arms her face flushed at the sudden contact.
He stroke her midnight-raven hair as he sensed nobody noticing them then whispered in her ear so that only she could hear. "Arigatou, Kaoru...for making me...happy..." Just as quickly as he held her he let go then procceded to venture inside leaving a confused Kaoru alone outside.
Her brows knotted together in confusion at his actions. 'What was that all about?...hmm he said I make him happy?...' She blushed lightly as she remembered the warmth of his chest pressed against hers. 'Noooo bad Kaoru you have someone else...I have...Kenshin...' Her eyes sadden at the thought of him. "I hope their doing alright without me..." She blinked her eyes as it began to blur she shook her head sadly then gasped. She turned around with firece anger as she realized that Inuyasha tricked her. 'Shoot he's good...' She instead of barging in and whacking him silly she giggled at his actions. "Well he did catch me after all so I guess that counts...hmm, well I can't stay here all day now can I?!" With that said she calmly walked into the hut with her companions and friends as they relaxed for the night, so they may start their next day a new...
-x-x-x-
"Is everything prepared?" asked a dark voice as the figure turned to a slime woman who was just as dark as himself.
"Yes, I have everything ready and it seems that the new girl Inuyasha is keeping is very special to him, probably even more special then Kikyo and that other girl, Kagome combined." She stated as she watch her partner lift a brow.
"Really...so it's true then she is his new woman...interesting I might have some use for her after all...Hmm..." He said as he looked into a small, white, blank mirror when it suddenly showed Inuyasha and the "new woman" embracing eachother outside of a hut nearby. "Now, do know anything about her that I should know besides her name...after all she was kind enough to inform us with that fact already." He asked as he gazed at the female companion of his.
She nodded her head then procceded to answer him. "Hai, besides her name...Kaoru is not from this world...she is like that girl Kagome...she is from the future...about I believe in the late 1800's..." She informed as he hmmed in delight.
"Ahhh, Sou ka I see why she is so different from both Kikyo and Kagome...intriguing." He then glanced back at the mirror to see only the girl Kaoru by herself staring right at his line of vesion as he narrowed his eyes. 'Can she sense us spying?' He shook his head then smirked triamphicly as he watched her go inside the hut. "Well I must say that Inuyasha made a good pick, for she is exquisite...I'd like to have her after this is all worked out...what fun I'll have...hahahaha!!" He laughed evily as his partner rolled her eyes in disgust.
"So what do you want me to do now?" She asked trying to change the subject as quick as possible.
He staighten himself as he rubbed his chin in thought. "I want you to keep watching them learn what their weaknesses especially Kaoru...we must try to bring them done one by one...yes, for now follow their every movement and strike when I give the signal understood." He said as a demand not as a question. She nodded her head and was about to open the shoji to the room when he called out to her. "And don't fail me...the trap for Inuyasha and his new lover will comence when I learn more of their friends...don't fail me Kagura." He said as she nodded her head then bowed to him before speaking.
"Of course, I will not fail you Naraku-sama." With that she opened the shoji then closed it with a "Click" then headed outside where she took out a small feather from her hair. Then throw it up in the air where it transformed to a larger feather. She hopped up on it then quickly headed to the village where Inuyasha and the others resided, she narrowed her eyes as she looked up at the night sky. 'Someday...I will be out of Naraku's grasp...but for now I will have to follow his orders...but when that day comes where I am free from him...I will kill him with my own two hands...someday I will be free...like the wind...' She continued on her voyage as the day began to grow dark as the moon began to rise from its sleep. The stars twinkled lightly shining at what the future will hold for our heroes...
Here below is a bit of the next chapter enjoy and oh plz review!!!! :)
She panted as she sprinted to the well she had crawled out of then glanced around her with her bow and arrow, but suddenly as she turned around she was face to face with him..."Why!!! Why are you doing this!!!" She screamed as she backed way from him as he advanced to her with a smirk snaking his way to his lips as he shrugged lightly at her frantic question.
"I don't know...maybe I want to make you suffer...of I just want you..." He said his voice filled with lust as his amber eyes scanned her body briefly before looking into her frighten eyes.
She shook her head as tears flowed out on her porculain face. She pulled out her arrow as she felt the hard solid wood of the well meeting her knees. "G-Get away!! Or I-I'll sh-shoot you!" She said in vain as he took another step towards her as she bit her lower lip in fear.
"Now you know you can't hurt me...after all I might die if you did ne?" He asked as he cupped her face. She tried to squirm away from him but he held her tight. "Now is that anyway to treat me, after all the things I did for you?" He asked as started to kiss away her tears as she shut her eyelids tight.
She tried to escape once more but it did no good his grip was to strong. 'How am I going to get out of here?' Her thoughts ended when she felt him take the Shikon no Tama that hanged around her neck. "No!! Give it back!!!" She shouted.
He looked at it then back at her smirking once more. "No I think I won't do that...your no longer in charge of it as of now...but thanks I'll take it with gratitude...Arigatou for the farewell gift to bad I don't have one for you..." Her eyes held confusion as he stood perfectly still as he answered her silent question. "But I promise to make it up to you someday...heehee farewell Kamiya Kaoru...it was fun while it lasted." he said then suddenly she felt pushed backwards as she fell through the well. She screamed in fear as she looked up at the opening of the well to see him waving at her.
Her tears trailed behind her as she screamed out his name. "INUYASHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!" Then the same pink-purplish light swallowed her whole as he shook his head at her.
"Sorry..." He said without any remorse as Inuyasha laughed out loud. "Sorry Kaoru...But I'm not Inuyasha...hahahaha!!" Then "Inuyasha" began to change soon his face and body began to change into his formal self. "Well now it's Inuyasha's turn to suffer...this is to easy...just like fifty years ago..." with that he turned away and became one with the shadows as if it never happened...leaving behind her bow and arrow as the only fact of her existence...
Ohhhh!! who could it be?! Hehee will hoped you like this, Ja ne!!!! See ya next Chap!!!! But PLZ REVIEW!!!!!!! (:
