InuYasha Fan Fiction / Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Journey through the past ❯ Suteki Da Ne ( Chapter 13 )

^_^ To Moonbeam who took the time to e-mail me! *Tee Hee* Oh yeah… Disclaimer: I don’t own Inuyasha. And I also do not own “Suteki Da Ne”. That was created by Nobuo Umetsu a genius at music (ESP Final Fantasy games)
Many suns had risen and fallen. And they were lost… Who knew the western lands were so big, much less be covered by demons all over the place. At this point they thought it would’ve been best to have the hanyou around. “I can’t believe we’re lost…” Kagome whined sitting on a rock.
“Inuyasha and Shippo should be heading in our very direction in a bit.” Sango pointed out.
“Maybe we should just ask for directions…” Lita murmured.
“Who’d tell us? All their interested in are the jewel shards Kagome-sama has.”
“That’s it we may not have been able to protect her from whatever Sesshoumaru has done but we have to at least get a warning out!” Hotaru stood up whining.
“But we don’t even know where we are….” Kagome whined.“Maybe we should threaten the next demon to cross our paths.” The sarcasm had been dripping from her voice.
Almost as if the fates wanted them to succeed two demons were headed in their very direction. From the looks of things these two demons were very much so in love. There was a big Amazon looking female with what appeared to be bear’s fur around her waist and chest area. Her hair was brown and her face looking as if she laid out all day tanning in the sun. Nonetheless she was cute. At her side was a small creature; the fur covering him had been gray and looked VERY soft too the touch. The ears on him sat upon his head like a certain hanyou they knew only they were big round circles and the inner ear was pink. For some reason he reminded Kagome of the old school American cartoons with the mouse ears.
“How did those pair come to fall for one another I’ll never guess…” Sango shook her head.
“I think I like Kagome’s plan for threatening…” Lita stood already in Sailor form.
“Lita…” Miroku stepped forward to advise his sister of the rashness in her next action. “I will be a distraction, separating the two…” Lita started out on the plan running through her mind. Unfortunately there was much disagreement to the brunette’s plan.
“Let’s change the beginning first…” Kagome paused.
“Lina, what bothers you my love?” the short male that barely came up to her waist grabbed her hand and held it to her cheek.
“The problems our relationship faces… My family would automatically assume I am to be marrying Hiroshi. But he is arrogant, and assumes he will have my heart by gifts of meat and such.” She paused. “For my parents it has to be another of the bear tribe, the sheer thought of species mixing irks my family entirely. If they found out I’m in love with a member from…”
“Us rats…” responded not wanting to sound so down, but it happened anyway.
“Hiko…” She looked at him.
“I’m sorry my power does not measure up for your family to even consider letting our love unfurl.”
“Power means nothing to me.”
“But if I had it… I could-I could. We wouldn’t have to hide our love.”
“Excuse me…” stepped up her bow held lazily in her right hand and her quiver held even lazier at her left. Nonetheless the little guy noticed the faint pink glow around her neck. “I’m searching for the ruler of the western lands, Sesshoumaru.”
“Who are you to be seeking him out?” She looked at Kagome and saw a faint glow surround her aura. A light aura, much like a... “A miko…”
“Oh great…” She groaned.
“Lina, she has jewel shards.” Hiko murmured. “We can use those to be free from your family.”
“You don’t look like much of a Miko…” Lina stood to approach her. Anything to help her beloved.
“Hand over the jewel shards…”
“Why can’t anyone ask politely?” Kagome groaned falling to her knees. The light around her wasn’t actually around her but behind her.
“JUPITER THUNDER CLAP ZAP!” The disk came right at the girl but missed all but a slight graze on her left leg. “My friend was polite to you and all you can think of is attacking her?”
*~*~*~*
The sun was already starting to set when she finally exited the large home of Sesshoumaru. She surprised herself with the fact that she was able to walk at all. Who knew the man was so passionate… Anyway he had finally gone back to handling whatever business he may have.
“Serena!!” Rin called and Serena frowned a bit obviously startled. “I am sorry…” Rin reeled back at the frown but Serena held a hand out to her and together they walked towards the lake not too far from the sanctuary they had been staying in.
“It’s fine… I take it, it has gone away?”
“Yes. It didn’t last long.”
“It never does for most but when it’s there…” Serena just rested her head on top of Rin’s head.
“You’ve changed…” Rin murmured. “Changed how?”
“I do not know, but something about you has changed…” Rin stopped and the silence between them was a comfortable silence. The wind blew making the dusk setting even more beautiful if possible. “Look …” Rin pointed straight up. The stars had already begun to appear, but the sun had not set entirely. The precise moment when day is giving way to night…Then there was silence once more. Rin made the motion to break the silence. “Does Sesshoumaru-sama make you happy, mama?” Rin leaned her head on Serena’s side before Serena moved to place the child’s head in her lap.
“Just relax and enjoy the moment…” Serena touched the girl’s face. While it was true Sesshoumaru made her happy she had this disturbing feeling that all was going far too well. But whatever it was it would show up and until then… “Kaze ga yosete kotoba ni…” She sang out a bit just feeling the mood. “…Oyoida kokoro. Kumo o Hakobu ashita ni. Hazunda koe[1].”
“That’s beautiful.” Rin whispered closing her eyes just enjoying the song.
“Tsuki ga yureru kagami ni. Furueta kokoro. Hoshi ga nagare koboreta. Yawarakai namida.[i]” She took a breath. “Suteki da ne. futari te wo tori arukete nara ikitai yo. Kimi no machi, ie, Ude no naka[ii].”

“Thank you so much!!” Kagome waved to the couple. The girl was now holding her man like a mother would a child; on her waist... “By the way… about the problem you would have to tell your family, if they don’t approve then leave and start over elsewhere.” Kagome called as the two kept walking.
“What was that all about?” A voice made her jump. “INUYASHA!!!” She called with her excited to see him tone and hugged him he gave a gentle pat before pulling away. “It’s better… not gone.” He warned.
“We’ve not found her. It wasn’t until you were gone we realized we had no clue where we were going.” Miroku said.
“Oh…” Inuyasha said. “I thought you’d have figured out how to get there before this. This is the WESTern lands.” Inuyasha said and the group started off.
They were telling the two demon males what they had been doing all this times. Stories that included Miroku earning a four way slap from all four females at once had come up and such. With the joy of having their group reunited entirely made the journey to the home of the lord of the western lands easier to deal with. They had almost expected an ambush when they reached the barrier, but right out front had been Sesshoumaru, waiting.
“I smelled your foul stench.” Sesshoumaru zeroed in on Inuyasha immediately. “For what reason have you come into my territory?”
“None of your business.” Inuyasha glared at his brother immediately forgetting they needed his cooperation to see the one they came to see.
“We’ve come to see, her highness.” Lita and Hotaru stepped forward. Sesshoumaru gave them a look. Who are these commoners and how do they know of his mate already. Did he have a spy within the walls of his home?
“Do not say you’ve forgotten about Hime…” Hotaru spoke up this time and his glare on the two lightened. “Who are you?” He glared. “Princess of Saturn. Bringer of death and rebirth.” Hotaru bowed.
“Princess of Jupiter. of the powers of lightening and nature.” Lita followed suit.
“Sesshoumaru….” A warning tone came from the door way. There they saw their target glaring at him. “I was talking to myself before I realized you were gone.” He could clearly read the annoyance on his mate’s face. She took a few steps toward him and looked up at him with glaring eyes. “We have guests and you’re behaving in such a way?”
“HIME!!!”
“Oh, hey guys! What’s up?” She looked at the group smiling. If they came all the way here… then the negative feeling meant something big was coming… the end to it all maybe? As Naraku’s victims they could only hope so.

Translation of the song:

1 The wind, like a heart that swam in the accumulated words. The clouds, a voice that was shot into the holding future. [i] The moon, a shaking heart in an unsteady mirror. The stars, gentle tears in overflowing streams.
[ii] Isn’t it beautiful, to walk together in each other’s hands. I do so want to go, to your city, your house, into your arms
