InuYasha Fan Fiction / Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Journey through the past ❯ Be good to my friend... ( Chapter 5 )

Disclaimer: I own nothing and for those who don't know Kagura is a demon made from Naraku himself…

She stared at the sunset, thinking about the things they have gone through. She looked at her hime and sighed. She was going to leave the group soon. She could tell because the usually bubbly blonde was very cold. She shut out half of the world and the other half she barely acknowledged and that distressed the demon exterminator she called her sister. She let out another sigh before squealing at the soft fluff that brushed her hand.

"Shippo, don't do that!!" She smacked the fox demon in his head.

"You're not eating…" He pointed out.

"I'm sorry; it's just that Serena… She's been out of the loop for too long."

"I'm heading to the springs…" She said referring to the springs that had been not too far away. She walked away without waiting for any offers to go or responses.

"I noticed… any idea on what's bothering her??"

"I don't know." Hotaru let out a sad sigh. "But she's really fragile now and easy to persuade." She whispered not knowing someone would actually hear her.

'That makes my job a hell of a lot easier to complete.' The woman smiled before glancing at the young boy that traveled with her. "Ready??" She asked the boy who looked at her with blank eyes before nodding gently. He then jumped out of the tree and sped off in a random direction.

'Why can't things ever go my way??' Her eyes welled up with tears as she took her signature hairstyle out. 'They say every dog has its day but my day has yet to come. First my friend dies and I constantly lose fights to a man who I thought killed her, then when it seemed like I would finally be happy I have to leave or else he would die. Then to top it off I was stuck with people I liked but had to marry a man I can never love. Then when I settled things with the people I held at arm's length to build what it had all been for I nearly destroy it and the one I truly love hates me!!!' She thought bitterly while getting ready to strip down to nothing.

"Oops… sorry!!" A young boy's voice rang out before he covered his eyes. She eyed the boy who was red in the face. Strangely he looked familiar. "I thought maybe I'd found someone who can help me." He said.

"Help you??" She asked mildly concerned. Feudal Japan was not a place for a child to be lost.

"Yes…"

"What kind of help??" She found the boy to be mildly familiar looking.

"Well, I'm lost, I think, and I can't remember which way is home."

"You think you're lost??"

"I'm not sure." He said before becoming mildly frantic.

"Calm down… Which way did you come from….?" She left space for a name.

"Kohaku is my name." He said making he eyebrows furrow in shock.

"Kohaku?" She asked earning a nod from him.

"I spy a hanyou with his guard down." A feminine voice drew the rest of the group's attention away from whatever they were talking about only to find themselves dodging white blades of energy. That was soon followed by laughter as the figure finally came into view.

"Kagura…" Inuyasha looked at the girl. Her looks haven't changed at all during the time he's known this foe. She stood there in her kimono staring at then with her blood red eyes from behind the fan that wasn't just for decoration, but for her 'Fuujin no Mai' attack. She laughed at the angry face she earned from the half-demon.

"Aren't you glad to see me? I haven't graced you presence in quite a while Hanyou." She laughed with all of her demons behind her.

"We don't have anything for you this time…" Shippo yelled.

"Of course you do otherwise I'd be wasting my time here with you, and I don't like to waste time!! Fuujin no Mai!!" She gave her fan a few strong waves before her demons were unleashed as well.

"Where did Rin go to??" Sesshoumaru asked finally returning with food he had managed to find for her.

"She went towards the spring…" Jakken spoke slowly waiting for any punishment heading his way for letting the girl wander off again. Before Sesshoumaru could say anything a gentle squeal of pain reached the Demon's ears and he sped off to where it came from. "Lord Sesshoumaru, where are you going??"

"Are you okay??" Serena asked the girl who was now bleeding from a wound in her shoulder.

"I'm okay, are you??"

"What'd you do a silly thing for?" She asked the girl.

"You saved my life so I wanted to save yours…" The girl said being shoved aside. Serena blocked the sickle Kohaku had been carrying.

"But you helped me first." She said as a fight started between the two. She hadn't been sure what happened but as soon as the girl had appeared Kohaku had started attacking. She jumped but slipped on the muddy bank of the spring and twisted her ankle. "Itai…" She groaned leaving an opening for the sickle to embed itself in her side. She let out a scream of pain and fell to her knees. The sickle was removed from her body and blood spewed from the wound. Her eyes filled up with tears but she stood and tried one more futile attack but it got her nowhere and she stayed down. Kohaku neared her body and raised his weapon for the final blow but he stopped and just looked at her. His dead and empty eyes took in her face before he had moved to dodge the on coming swing of a sword. He looked at the one who attacked him and just turned to run away.

"Lord Sesshoumaru, you came!!" Rin smiled at the one she pledges loyalty to but he ignored her watching the boy run off.

'What the hell is he doing?!?!' Kagura's eyes left Inuyasha for the moment to follow the direction Kohaku was running to before all of her minions retreated. She laughed feeling the life energy of the girl become almost undetectable and Kagura made her exit. "It was fun, we should play again sometime!!" She called leaving on a feather that defied gravity. Everyone had puzzled looks on their faces. Inuyasha on the other hand had his nose in the air… it was heavy with blood.

"Everyone is okay??" He asked.

"Fine here…" Kagome stated. Sango and Miroku agreed just before sobs erupted from the Princess of Saturn.

"Hime…." She cried holding herself. Everyone looked at her. "Hime is not okay. Hime's dead…" She said.

"A-Are you sure??"

"Hai… I just felt her life force leave." She shuddered before slipping into one of her fainting spells. She was hoisted onto Shippo's back as a silent agreement had been made to find the girl's body and give her a burial as proper as it could get for now, then later she would get a demon exterminator's burial.

"Do you think it was wise to let that boy go, Lord Sesshoumaru??" Jakken spoke only to be ignored as Sesshoumaru looked at the girl whose soul was just leaving the planet.

'I can see them…' He thought to himself thinking about the time he brought Rin back to life. Little ugly creatures surrounded her body ready to take her soul. He watched them for a few moments trying to decide which would be better for the world and him. Saving her would mean she'd be in danger again, because obviously the boy was sent to kill her and just her, and if he had succeeded like this his brother would be useless to her. But if he let her die he would always second guess this decision, like he had been second guessing his decision to let her walk away that day years ago.

"Lord Sesshoumaru, save her please!!" Rin pleaded with the man.

For years now it had just been her, Jakken, and Sesshoumaru and she knew her time to actually grow up was nearing and she was scared. It was her and demons she couldn't talk to them about the things she was feeling. Sesshoumaru looked at her and she gave one final plea.

"Please, I will never ask anything from you after this!!!" She pleaded and he almost felt like smiling. This girl never wanted anything from him; everything he did for her was out of the goodness in his own heart, wherever it was. Sesshoumaru sighed knowing he would probably regret doing this and grasped the Tenseiga before slashing at her still body. She gasped in a breath of air and lifted the girl as her deep wounds closed up a little bit.

"Let's go…" Sesshoumaru said calling forth the beast he had managed to tame and ride. They took off to the skies just as the others arrived.

"It stops here." Inuyasha said stopping at a point where the ground had been covered in blood. Everyone stood in confusion. They had expected a body, but found nothing.

"Be good to my friend or I'll kill you…killing perfection." Hotaru murmured in her unconscious slumber.
