InuYasha Fan Fiction / Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Journey through the past ❯ Three days ( Chapter 10 )
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…
"Miss Rin you should rest…" A Female with long green pigtails that just barely missed the floor entered the room. On her head and arms jewels shone in the sunlight pouring into the room. She was just simply beautiful with one exception… a simple black blindfold that covered her eyes… and the fact that the rest of her body slithered after her.
"I will rest another time…"
"You have been up all night tending to the Mistress's fever."
"Mistress?" Sesshoumaru came up behind the snake woman. "This woman is no more than a mother figure to Rin. Rin go to sleep." He said and the girl pouted but obviously needed sleep.
"Fine but if anything happens…"
"You'll be the first to know…" the pigtailed woman said listening to Rin walk away.
"Next time I think you should get your story straight before assuming she is my mate…" Sesshoumaru watched her roll onto her stomach. "She is but a worthless human only around to prepare Rin for when the time for her to move on with her human life and wed."
"My apologies, Sesshoumaru-sama, it is just that besides young Rin you have brought no other being to this place. And since she has powers beyond belief I figured you have found your equal…"
"Your words are too bold, Sakue…" He said. "I have no equal… I have no need for a mate."
"Your instincts say differently… Within four days you will have the uncontrollable desire to have one who matches your skill."
"And you think it would be this mortal? I suggest you stick to your job and wash her…" Sesshoumaru said before tensing as a sound reached his ears…sobs? Both Sakue and Sesshoumaru turned their attention to the girl on the bed Sakue slithered towards the bed and touched her face.
"Her fever has broken…perhaps she will be up again this evening."
"She will be in no such state…" Sesshoumaru cut himself off and left the room.
"Thank you…" Serena whimpered out. "Sakue was it?" Serena asked sitting up holding her head which hurt from the remnants of the fever.
"It was and is. You fever has been gone for sometime now hasn't it?" Sakue asked and Serena nodded guiltily.
"I just thought I should sleep."
"Well, you've slept enough miss…"
"Serena…"
"We must get you cleaned up." Sakue "offered" her cold hand to Serena.
"If it isn't a bother… why the blindfold?"
"I can kill…" She said softly. "Instead of being poisonous like my father's heritage I have earned the ability to kill with a gaze…"
"Like Medusa…" Serena said.
"That bitch… I can't stand her…" Sakue said suddenly making Serena blink. "Well, let's get you bathed and dressed for dinner since it has been a week or so since you have been unconscious."
"Hai…" Serena stood and nearly fell but the female immediately grabbed her by the hips.
Serena stabled herself and slowly made her way to the bath following Sakue's lead. It was amazing how she got around without the use of her eyes. Sakue opened a door and let Serena right in. Next to the bath had been a small wooden bucket. Inside had been jar, apparently the washing salve and several other items.
"shall I return in a little bit?"
"Hai."Serena said as the door slid shut and she removed the silk yukata and let it hit the floor with a slight thump. She slipped into the hot water. She glanced at the wound in her side and shook her head. She had been thinking about a dream while cataleptic.
"My dear…" The voice of her mother rang out clear as a bell… as clear as she had been standing before her.
"uhh…" Apparently her comprehension of things were still a bit slow… Serena would always be Serena. "Aren't you dead? Does this mean I'm dead?!?! I can't be dead!!!!" She started whining as Selenity placed her hands on her hips and waited for her daughter to calm down.
"you're not dead…"
"No?" Serena looked around the white surrounding.
"No. My sweetness we have to talk." Selenity said. "About your current situation."
"There is nothing to talk about. Trista wanted to have my role as Queen she took the chance and put me in a time where I have broken the heart of a demon who hates me…"
"Do you really think he hates you? If anything he loves you more than he hates you."
"I hardly think that is so…" She sighed. "Sesshoumaru had problems with humans as it is… The only time he opened up to one she threw salt into the tender opening before adding a whole gallon of bleach to it. As far as I can I am to play mother to a girl ready to start her own family soon."
"Just give it three days… Late night of the third you will see that mother does know best…" Selenity hugged her daughter.
"Three days?"
"Just three simple days..." The woman paused. "Just trust me…" Selenity whispered.
"Just three days… I'll take your word for it mother." She sighed softly.
"Now I really don't see what the young child had been talking about with us not making it in time." Miroku said looking at a black haired Inuyasha. "The western lands are big and with this full moon you are human, but it makes no sense, since we are near our destination, to not get there in time."
"Shut up Monk…" Inuyasha snapped sulking next to the fire and Hotaru was running a brush through his black hair only "pissing" him off more.
"No…" Kagome gasped flipping through one of the book she brought with her to keep entertained… on the cover it said Almanac. She then pulled out a note book and scribbled something down. The scraped of her pencil moved rapidly as long slides signaled crossing out and so on… "We wont' make it in time…" She whispered.
"What are you talking about?" Inuyasha asked.
"If I'm correct the next full moon is in four days."
"That's just not possible Kagome…" Sango said pointing at the moon above. "The next one should be around another twenty-eight days."
"No, See in my time they believe one day the moon will be close to the earth. When I say close…"
"It does get that way…" Lita and Hotaru said together. "So close one almost feel as if they can measure it by standing outside their home... but of course not really that close it just gives the feeling that it is possible."
"Right, but during that time of it's moving once every, oh say, hundred years the moons of Venus come into view… One of the moons there will be in the perfect aligning of a full moon."
"But… starting in three days…" Sango spoke up. "For the next week will be Inuyasha and Shippo's mating season."
"Only a week?" Lita asked.
"The week is when it's at its strongest; after that still throw caution to the wind, but they're more functional."
"I don't think so…" Kagome said. "Kaede once told me that there is a rare time when all with the blood of a canine of any sort will have a heat viciously strong… I have a feeling it may be this time."
"Hence the uselessness…" Shippo muttered burying his nose in Hotaru's hair.
"Maybe we should arise slightly before the sun giving us more time to travel." Lita said softly.
"Yes, we should…"
