Chapter Four: Sumiko

 

Shallow breathing escaped pale lips of the dying Clef in Inuyasha's arms. He was shocked that he actually stabbed her. Before Yue and Sesshomaru could move over, Inuyasha growled angrily, “Naraku…” Wind blades started coming towards Inuyasha in ragging speed and he jumped on a sakura blossom branch to stay out of reach with Clef still in his arms. Inuyasha covered his nose from the miasma while Clef's face was turned into Inuyasha's haori to protect her from the repulsive smell from invading her nose. A loud chuckle was heard from the distance as Kagome readied her arrow and Sango readied her bone boomerang to launch at the wicked hanyou.

 

“Nice to see you again, Inuyasha.” Naraku stated calmly as a corrupt smirk adorned his lips. Kagura was standing beside him on her giant feather with her fan in her hand, ready to launch another attack. Naraku's eyes gazed over the one that Inuyasha was holding and smirked evilly. “I see you forgotten about Kikyo, Inuyasha.” Inuyasha growled in anger, but the one in his arms just whimpered in pain, both emotional and physical. Naraku mentally smirked to himself as he thought calmly, `So she's the one that Phobos was talking about.' Inuyasha heard the whimper as his eyes started to tint crimson as he nuzzled Clef's neck possessively. Kumiko and Kazu noticed what was going on when Kazuko whispered lightly, “It's Sou'unga…” Sesshomaru and Yue raised a delicate eyebrow at the two until Yue stated, “Sou'unga is awakening Inuyasha's youkai blood.” Inuyasha jumped to higher ground when he seen more wind blades coming their way and placed the sleeping Clef on the branch using the tree as a support. Inuyasha laughed wickedly at Naraku and lunged towards him not caring about the cloaked figure hovering above the sleeping unaware. Sango threw her boomerang at the cloaked figure only to have it deflected back at her. Kazu grabbed Sango and moved her out of the way from the flying boomerang as the others moved out of the way.

 

Kumiko quickly made her towards Clef's protection as the cloaked figure hovered down slowly on the branch that she's on. Kumiko slashed at the figure only to have her attacks evaded effortlessly and kicked Kumiko across the side of the head, knocking her down on the ground unconscious. Kazuko and Kazu lunged at the cloaked figure only to be met up with a barrier protecting the two as Inuyasha was fighting Kagura like a wild man. Kagome launched her arrow only to have the arrow break when it touched the barrier.

 

The cloaked figure took off his hood only to reveal the true Naraku. He pulled out the vial and put some of the black liquid on his lips and kissed Clef tenderly, making the liquid go down her throat. The puppet Naraku was killed by Inuyasha when Naraku took off his hood and started running towards the two only to be stopped by Kagura's wind blades. Naraku's black eyes turned to Inuyasha and smirked wickedly at him and disappeared as quickly as he came. The barrier disappeared and Yue climbed up to the tree branch where Clef was put. Yue glared at Inuyasha with anger and walked towards the palace with Clef in his arms tightly.

 

Later that night, Inuyasha was sitting outside of Clef's doors as if he was expecting her to come out. The shoji door was slowly opened by Kagome as she looked down at him and shut the door behind her.

 

“Inuyasha?” Kagome asked sincerely with worry shone into her grayish blue eyes. Inuyasha looked over at Kagome and sighed a bit heavily.

 

“I'm fine, don't worry.” Inuyasha answered, not even looking at Kagome. His light amber eyes downcast in sorrow and pain down at the tama mats below him. Kagome knew he was lying to her as she placed a comforting hand on his shoulder and gave him a small smile when he was looking at her.

 

“She was only friend when I was young and when my mother was still alive. She was the only one that understood my pain because we were the same.” Inuyasha stated in sad tone when his amber eyes looked into her grayish blue eyes. His amber eyes then turn their attention to the starry sky above as he commented, “I remember when Sesshomaru, Kazu, Clef and I used to look at the stars above and dream until my mother's death. We drifted apart, but Clef still made sure I was still sane… still alive. I left this palace when I met Kikyo… when we truly drifted apart from each other.”

 

Naraku's Domain

 

Black eyes glanced at the cloaked figure in front of him and commented calmly, “It's been done, Seri.” The cloaked figure removed her hood from her head revealing a woman that appears to be in late twenties with crimson red hair cascading down her shoulders as her onyx black eyes gaze lightly.

 

“I know… the changes are going slowly and yet started.” Seri commented lightly. “Sumiko gave you… my servitude for our allegiance.” Seri bowed lightly and stated, “I'm yours to your liking, master.” Naraku smirked at the bowing Seri and nodded at her. Seri's onyx black eyes looked over at Kagura and knew what she was thinking and couldn't agree more with her.

 

Dreamland

 

Racing footsteps is everything that can be heard in the endless darkness as Clef was looking around for something or someone to help her. She sighed to herself and called out in a scared tone, “Sesshomaru? Yue? Kazu… Kazuko? Kumiko… Inuyasha?” She slowly continued walking in the darkness with her arms folded close to her chest, keeping her barely warm. Looking in front of her, a small child that appears to be only six or seven years old was standing in front of her holding a large scythe with a crimson blade that was only three times the girl's size.

 

“Who are you?” Clef asked with a worried tone in her voice. The girl smirked at her only to attack her with her scythe, the blade only missing her only an inch.

 

“I'm who they call the `Grim Reaper'… two souls are fighting for your body…” the girl commented. “The one known as Clef and an ancient one of the past, your actions will choose who will win.”

 

Sesshomaru's Study

 

Sitting in the study and also the planning room of the Western lands was Sesshomaru, Yue, Kumiko, Sango, Kagome and Kazu were talking about the battle between Inuyasha and Clef and then the aftermath of the battle. Kazu looked deep in thought as his eyes were focused on Yue when he asked calmly, “Why did you glare at Inuyasha, Yue? Jealous or something?” Yue growled in annoyance at Kazu's question and didn't answer him.

 

Kumiko just looked at the two males and commented, “This isn't a debate, you two. This meeting is to decide the best course of action that will benefit us in the end. We have a threat known as Naraku on our hands, no time for petty squabbling.”

 

Sesshomaru just nodded his head same with Kagome and Sango, not knowing about the eavesdropping hanyou outside of the study doors. Hours of quarrels and heated discussion happened until a soft knock on the door was heard when Sesshomaru opened the door, Rin was standing outside of the door and commented, “Dinner's ready.”

 

Sesshomaru nodded his head at the small child as Rin ran off towards the dining hall happily.

“We'll finish this conversation at dawn.” Sesshomaru ordered more than stated while they all nodded in unison. Meanwhile sleeping through everything, Kazuko had Clef's head on her lap who was sleeping also. Smoky gray eyes slowly opened and gazed at the sight that is resting on her lap. Kazuko smiled a bit as her slender fingers brushed back a few rogue strands of hair as she said softly, “I always admire you… putting your personal feelings for Inuyasha-sama behind you and leading us into battle, winning every time. No one knows why you fight when you're not needed to lead… but I finally understand why you fight.” The shoji doors slide open from behind her as Kazuko turns her head at the newcomer.

 

“Yue…” was all Kazuko was able to say before a finger went to her lips silencing her voice. Yue knelt behind Kazuko and rested his head on her shoulder. Kazuko just sighed to herself and asked calmly, “What's wrong, koi?” Yue just purred lightly and nip lightly at the crook of her neck. “Just worried about Clef-neesan.” He finally replied after five minutes of silence. Kazuko nodded in understanding and commented, “I remember when she shut the shoji doors on the two of us and made the both of us admit our feelings.” Yue huffed indifferently and continued nuzzling her neck softly.

 

Naraku's Domain

 

Watching the scene through Kanna's mirror, Naraku smirk wickedly as he snapped his fingers lightly. His smirk became wider as he was watching the pain that the girl was going through as he started laughing with malice.

 

“Naraku-sama, Sumiko will be here soon…” Kanna commented in a soft voice as she was still holding her mirror for Naraku's viewing.

 

Inuyasha's Dream

 

Crimson flames and darkness were all around while he was looking around for something or someone. His amber eyes looked down and notice scarlet red staining the ground below as he looked at the two figures surrounded by flames. Both appeared to be females, one was kneeling on the ground in pain with a sword that looked to familiar to him while the other one was glaring like a lunatic at the kneeling figure with a large halberd in her hand. The one with halberd twirled it around and stabbed the other one in the shoulder with the blade piercing through her skin while the other one stabbed her with the sword in her hand through the stomach.

 

Inuyasha woke up with sweat dripping down his face as he was looking at his clawed hands while thinking out loud, “What in the hell is going on?” Inuyasha got out of his futon walking towards his balcony, with no shirt protecting him from the cold. He looked up at the night sky with the crimson moon decorating the misty ebony sky.
