InuYasha Fan Fiction / Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Journey through the past ❯ Complications ( Chapter 8 )

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… and for some reason I kinda feel like complicating this fic a bit…

The sun was high and both Serena and Rin were bored out of their minds. Well aside from the both of them picking on Jakken by keep away with his staff, that was the extent of their fun. Sesshoumaru on the other hand had gone out to find food for the day while Rin and Serena were in search of some sort of vegetable to add to their food much to Jakken's dismay because for some reason he got it into his head that neither female could be left alone.

"I think this should do it…" Rin said To Serena looking at the bunch of yams they found growing wild. Serena nodded and set down her basket full before looking up at the sky. A sigh escaped her lips as she got lost in her thoughts. She then looked back at the yams and washed them in the river's cold water still lost in thought"

"What are you thinking about?"

"Love…" Serena said gently. "It's such a wonderful emotion as well as a hateful emotion."

"How is that possible?" Rin asked sitting next to her in the warmth of the sun. "I was always led to believe love is an emotion that should be cherished forever; an emotion that glows brightly on forever even after the initial glow has vanished."

"It can be that way." Serena said noticing Jakken was sitting several feet away from the girls but still within an earshot.

"I do not understand."

"Listen, Rin, when you fall in love I don't want you to leave that person behind for any reason." She paused. "You see at one point I had been in love. It was one of those things I never saw coming at all. When that person and myself had exchanged our feelings it had been at the worse possible time. You see just before we had said so to each other I had met a woman who watches over the flow of time. She had warned me that despite the fact my beloved was a strong being if I stayed with him at the time he could and would die."

"Please continue…" Rin barely whispered when Serena had paused and lowered her head.

"So I had promised to leave knowing chances of me coming back were slim… I was heartbroken for days, especially since it had been me who had decided to leave."

"But if you didn't, he would've died…"

"I know." She said. "After a while I finally found out why he would've died. There were people stalking me throughout the time traveling. Many of them so powerful I have been killed quite a few times… Luckily for me I had the power to be reborn."

"So for leaving him behind is why being in love can be hateful??"

"Yes… and no. You'd have to live what I have to understand my point... it's too long of a story. But let's just say I had been expected to fall deeply in love with another man and it couldn't happen. I missed Sess…." She caught her self but not in time for both Jakken and Rin to fill in the blank. No one said anything more which only served to have the demon that had been hiding a chance to strike. At first chance the rather large scorpion attempted to strike Rin but the young girl was easily tackled out of the way, but the blonde who got her hair caught by the being and it proceeded to hoist her into the air for prey.

"Serena!!!" Rin cried in time to draw Jakken's focus off of attacking the beast, to her. He groaned a bit realizing he was in a lose/lose situation. Let the girl go with the beast only to become dinner and be proven useless to Sesshoumaru or attack the beast chancing an attack on her proving he was incompetent. Jakken sighed going with option two… it was a 50/50 chance he'd hit her... hopefully the over grown poisonous being would stop moving long enough to attack… but it didn't and only let out a purple gas that filled the air bringing both him and Rin down choking before feeling awfully tired, soon asleep. Too bad no one but Serena saw the doppelganger of the beast show up.

"RIN WAKE UP!!!!" Serena tried screaming only to be dragged away by the creature.

"So that's why I was sent back here." Lita said to Hotaru. The two females had left the camping grounds where their companions were to have the conversation. "Come on 'Taru-chan you can't be that upset. Trista was lonely; we all knew that. For centuries she had to sit in the backseat watching us either help or screw up the time line. Apparently for centuries she also watched Serena love Mamoru but not the way he wanted her to love him. This had made Trista begin to fall in love with him. She saw a chance to finally not be alone anymore."

"I know… but I can't help but feel betrayed. Serena almost died recently. The thought of having her dead because Trista saw an opening to 'make things right' for herself and everyone else… it disturbs me greatly." Hotaru sighed. "It should've been a choice for both Serena and I to make…" She said before both females had been tackled to the ground. "Shippo what are you…?" Hotaru was ready to yell at the boy for pushing them both over but a Scorpion type creature had decided to rush by.

"Serena…" Both Lita and Hotaru noticed its unconscious catch.

He entered the area and stopped cold in his tracks… He wasn't sure what it was but it stunk and it infected the area. He continued walking just checking to make sure both Rin and Serena were safe. He expected Jakken to care for the injured one and the young girl. Unfortunately it hadn't worked that way. He got there in time to see a scorpion ready to devour an unconscious Rin. Sesshoumaru narrowed his eyes at the being before raising his claws to allow the energy of the poison radiate off of it.

"You pointless disguise does not fool me…" Sesshoumaru said jumping to strike the creature. Almost immediately the creature backed away from Rin and transformed. The being shrunk and took the form of a man… a man with long black hair and piercing blue eyes. His blue eyes seemed to stare right through him before he vanished. Literally, he vanished into thin air.

"Wake up beautiful…" A voice whispered in Serena's ear. "You've been causing me all sorts of trouble gorgeous…"

"Mmmm…" She moaned a bit before opening her eyes… "Endymion??" She had to ask and a smile just crossed the man's features as she slipped back into unconsciousness.

Well I just went and complicated things a bit… oh well no big deal sorry for the short chap… bye for now!
