InuYasha Fan Fiction / Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Journey through the past ❯ Upcoming problems ( Chapter 4 )

She stared out over the horizon watching the sun set. She didn't want to go back to the others yet. She knew if she did the moody half demon would complain about her not doing any work. Why had she run away?? It had been years since she was with him, he's probably found himself a mate and had forgotten about her… but if that were true why, would he have reacted the way he had. Like the pain she had inflicted upon the both of them so many years ago. She closed her eyes and hummed the song she'd hum to calm herself down when she had been missing him so much.

"Itsuka itsuka subete no tamashii ga. Yasuraka ni nereru youni…" Her words trailed to a halt.

"Meguru meguru toki no naka de." A voice made her jump. "It's my favorite song." The dark haired girl sat next to her as the other female sat to the other side of her and the youngest in front to lean her head in her lap.

"What's it mean??" Sango asked. "The Japanese is a bit different from what I do know."

"Someday our souls will unite, and we will give peaceful approval. In endlessly repeating time…" Hotaru said and silence fell over the four females.

"What happened back there with Inuyasha's brother?" Sango asked making Serena tense.

"I can tell them if you want." Hotaru offered.

"A long time ago a girl left her home seeking revenge for a friend's life." Serena started suddenly. "She meant to return home but the friend had died by the hand of a demon. Not too far away from the damage she had came across a full blooded demon. She accused the demon of harming her friend. So she followed him around trying to defeat him for the friend. Many times she lost and he took humor out of her defeats. He eventually left her stuff to clean herself up after their fights." She paused. "Then one day after fully healing after one of their battles she approached him and his attitude had changed a ten fold. He tried to defend himself for the first time and even gave a description of the demon that had harmed her friend. Of course she didn't believe him and fought him anyway, but he refused to hit her. In the middle of the battle a nearby village had been under attack. She went to see what happened only to be gravely injured."

"Then what happened?" Kagome asked gently.

"She doesn't remember. She just remembers waking up to have all her injuries bandaged up and was in the presence of the full blooded demon. She was confined to moving very little for almost a month and a half and he took care of her. During that time she learned things about him… saw a completely different side that she never knew."

"Classic romance story!!" Hotaru, Sango, and Kagome said.

"Not when the romance is between a demon exterminator and a demon." She said making Sango and Kagome look at her.

"You mean you… and…" Sango's words trailed.

"Sesshoumaru?!?!" Kagome finished for her.

"A real relationship never formed. When I left for the future I did it because if I stayed he would've died and let's just say we laid our cards on the table and that was that."

"Lord Sesshoumaru please tell me that child was wrong and you could've destroyed that woman."

"…" Sesshoumaru walked away. "Start a fire… Rin will awaken soon and become hungry."

"Left in the dark again…"

"Need not worry yourself Jakken." A Bundle of sticks fell to the ground. He looked up and it was the same girl from before only her hair seemed lighter this time around.

"Child… explain to me why Lord Sesshoumaru didn't kill that 'rival' you told us about."

"It isn't my place to say. But know this Lord Sesshoumaru has a reason for being as cold as he is."

"Which is…?"

"Not my place to say, Jakken." She said bouncing the ball she had in her hands. "Just try not to pry and watch Rin carefully… Rin will be the tie between that girl and Sesshoumaru."

"Tie?? What kind of tie."

"Just relax and watch. If you talk too much or ask too much he won't tell you." She said.

"Tell me what??" Jakken asked as she vanished as Rin woke up.

"Go take a walk…" She muttered before walking away to the river.

"You can't be serious…" Inuyasha all but yelled only to have Kagome's hand clamp over Inuyasha's mouth.

"Quiet Inuyasha..." She glanced at Serena who was sitting on a rock in the middle of the river.

"I mean this is my brother we're talking about. The one who tried to kill me so many times… the one who tried killing you so many times... the heartless one!!!"

"Actually I had a slight suspicion since they saw each other." Miroku said. "If you took note of Sesshoumaru's unusual reaction, you'd understand."

"They were shocked to see each other…" Sango said. "So what do we do now?? I mean we have an extra load on us. We Not only have to deal with Naraku but your brother who will probably be stalking our every move if he does care anymore."

"Feh..." Inuyasha provided to fill in for the fact he doesn't know what to do. He had his own problems to worry about… The date was drawing closer and he'd abandon the group again so the period would end. The problem being the time all and any demons who have wolf and/or dog in their genes would fall into heat…
