InuYasha Fan Fiction / Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Journey through the past ❯ Electrified ( Chapter 7 )
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or Sailor Moon.
A/n: yeah I'm sorry about taking so long but it took me forever to get my thoughts about this one cleared up and now I kind of have a clue as to where I want it go. So I hope I didn't lose too many reviewers and bye for now!
When the sun rose Inuyasha and Co. woke up with a brief moment for breakfast. Especially since Inuyasha had wound up staying awake more than half the evening worry if what the brat had said was true. If they hadn't succeeded with their journey everything about Kagome and her time would vanish? The thought of it made him sick and yet… he wasn't sure why so many time he had hurt Kagome over and over and yet she still insists on being near him… but being near him was dangerous… It was too much to deal with and he had no clue as to what to do except… just follow the advice the offspring of Sango's sister had given them. She hadn't been wrong when they met the first time.
"Inuyasha must really care about Kagome if he's worried like this." Hotaru whispered to Shippo and Sango while Kirara growled in agreement with the girl.
"He actually does but isn't sure since Kikyo is still running free, but we all know better." Kikyo said suddenly.
"Kikyo…She's the miko that kind of started the whole thing off with Naraku, right?"
"Right…" Shippo said watching Hotaru shake her head before giggling.
"This almost reminds me of Serena when she had first met Seiya." She shook her head. "You see Darien had been away trying to better himself and Seiya shows up. Many times he had made advances on Serena and she had confided in me there were time she had actually caved into him for a bit… but she was torn between her feelings for His royal highness in this time, Darien and Seiya…" She shook her head.
"You mean she led them on?"
"Not really…she was confused… afraid she'd betray someone." Hotaru sighed. "I say she was lucky… Three very good looking guys one she never thought to see again and two very much in love with her…" She took a sideways glance at Shippo before smirking. "All I got was a fox."
"What?!?!" Shippo gaped at her and the others except Inuyasha couldn't help but giggle.
"Aaaaaaaaaaah!!!" A shriek made everyone jump to attention. A young woman and what appeared to be her grandmother were trying to back away from a serpent the size of a hut.
"Finally something to take my frustrations out on…" Inuyasha muttered unsheathing Tetsusaiga. He moved in ready to strike only to flung back by the serpent's tail.
"Thisssss is my prey…" The serpent said advancing on the young woman and her grandmother only to be struck by Sango's weapon giving Shippo and Miroku time to quickly grab the females.
"Are you okay?" Hotaru asked the elderly woman first when she finally mustered up enough strength to get off of Kirara.
"Yes, but look out!" The old woman tried to warn Hotaru but the belly-crawler (*giggles* Belly-crawler) had already grasped her by the ankle.
"Hotaru!" Shippo called out watching his fiancée be shaken all about by her ankle.
"You drop her..." Inuyasha jumped in the air intending on slashing the beast but the sword did no damage to its skin… It hadn't even phased the creature. It swung its tail again and Inuyasha hit the ground hard. Out of nowhere a bolt of lightening struck the creature making it drop its current prey. Before Hotaru's body collided with the ground Shippo dived and broke her fall. Another shock went to its system as it fell backwards into a nearby river. Before anything could be said a disc of pure electricity hit the water frying the Serpent.
"Now I was hoping for a show of that great strength of your Inuyasha…" A voice called. "Or is manipulating people all you can do?"
"Don't hurt him…" Hotaru stood but winced at the pain in her ankle. "I tried and he's innocent, Lita."
"Are you okay, Miss?" Miroku asked the girl earning a simple nod from her. "Good I don't know what I'd do if a pretty young lady such as yourself got hurt." She only smiled. Miroku then grabbed her hands between his own before looking her seriously in the eye. "Will you do me the honor of bearing my child?"
"Miroku…" Sango was ready to strike the man but another hand touched his neck making him tense before yelping a bit.
"Go on miss, tend to your grandmother I can handle this lecher." A young woman with long brown hair stood there making the girl giggle. "I've been gone for a few years and you haven't changed a bit little brother."
"Pleasure seeing you too…" Miroku rubbed the back of his neck. "You still have that electrifying personality I see.
"Okay… Let's see…" Serena sat with in the hot spring searching her subspace pocket for something as simple as shampoo. So far she was pulling everything else out and half of it Rin found rather curious. "Aha!" She finally produced the bottle of shampoo. She looked at Rin inspecting her ties for her hair. She stretched one out past it's capacity and it popped making her jump. "Hey! Don't break them all… I need them if we're going to continue with our plan!" Serena said placing some stuff back into the pocket and squirted some into her hand before handing the bottle to Rin who copied her movement.
"Okay what next?" She poked at the thick liquid. She watched Serena rub it into her hair and it started to foam. "It's like soap!" She concluded rubbing it into her hair. "Only it smells better!"
"Well, of course and it takes better care of your hair."
"Do you not like Sesshoumaru-sama?" Rin asked as Serena lifted the bucket she brought with her to rinse the soap out of the young girl's hair.
"Huh?!? What made you ask that?"
"Well, it's just that you and Sesshoumaru-sama don't get along that well. He looks at you when you're sleeping but when he does he gets mad all of a sudden."
"All of a sudden? How can you tell when he's mad or not… he always looks angry." Serena said making the girl giggle.
"He does look mad frequently but most of the time he really doesn't care. Yet for some reason every time it comes down to you he becomes furious or something."
"Well, let's just say Sesshoumaru-Sama and I was once really good friends but I had to go away. He didn't want me to go but I had to and he became really mad with me." Serena said before lowering herself against the edge of the spring sighing.
"You loved him once, didn't you?" Rin asked suddenly making Serena come to attention immediately.
"What makes you say that?"
"That day when you saved me he had come with the intent on killing you, but when he found out it was you he couldn't bring himself to do it."
"I'll give a full explanation on me and Sesshoumaru later… but right now let's get dressed so his one-armed highness doesn't come looking for us." Serena said making Rin shake her head.
"You won't leave me will you?" Rin said catching Serena off guard for the third time in a row. "you and me are good friends…"
"No…" Serena smiled at her. "I won't leave you… Not if I can help it at least." She said and walked back to camp. One there they saw Sesshoumaru had gone out hunting once more and was already making lunch. Rin and Serena went to the bedding area Serena had and she sat down behind Rin to brush out her hair.
"Sesshoumaru-sama, I don't trust that girl." Jakken said looking for some response but got none. "Sesshoumaru-sama, aren't you at least concerned that she is a Demon exterminator? Her skills may even compare to your own if you can not even find it within yourself to attack her."
"My well being is not jeopardized with her around. She will do no more than pose a mother figure to Rin that is all." Sesshoumaru spoke slowly as if picking and choosing the right words. He heard Rin complain and multiple apologies from Serena but didn't dare take a glance at the two females.
"Okay, turn around and let me fluff your bangs." Serena said taking the brush she had in her hand and ran them trough Rin's bangs a few times as if she were going to curl them a bit then she smiled. "You have such a cute face, why do you just leave your hair down and allow it to get lost in the black mass." She tugged at one of the pigtails she had given the girl. Serena watched the girl run to the water to look at herself why she ran the brush through her own hair and tied it into a low ponytail.
"I love it!! Sesshoumaru-sama, look at what Serena-sama has done!!" She said rushing off to get nearer to Sesshoumaru missing the winces between both demon exterminator and demon as she said Serena-sama. Sesshoumaru looked at the girl and was nearly shocked at what he saw.
The young girl he had picked up years ago wasn't the same young girl she had once been and he could see it now. She was well around the age to become fertile and start producing young… and somehow that disturbed him greatly. This era was a difficult era to live in and finding a suitor that would treat her properly and care for her properly is hard to find. He would have to start watching her more carefully and the people she will acquaint herself with whenever Serena would need supplies, and he knew she would, from any nearby villages.
"You don't like it Sesshoumaru-Sama?" Rin took his unwavering look and silence as rejection.
"It's fine." He said gruffly before glancing at Serena who was busy looking up at the sky in an open field. "Tell her the food is ready."
"Okay!!" Rin skipped off to shake Serena out of whatever daydream she was in the middle of.
"I expect you to take care of both of them while I'm gone, Jakken." Sesshoumaru said.
"But Sesshoumaru-sama, that time isn't expected for another three full moons." Jakken looked at the males face. "Yes, I will watch over them both…" He said before turning to mutter. "Not that it matters between the both of them I'll be abused the entire time.
