[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
Okay here's my new chapter. Heheheheheh
~Ina Sama~
Kagome watched Ina as she helped Rin to bathe. She saw a large scar that was quite obviously a very pretty version of a nasty wound. She had planned on taking a bath anyway…
Ina looked up at Kagome as she approached, rising from kneeling down and barely avoiding a splash of water (courtesy of Rin). Kagome giggled. “Hey…I was wondering if we could all talk. I could share with you some stuff from my time that cleans better.”
“Are you saying that I'm not hygienic?”
“No not at all. Where I'm from, there's just better stuff that takes you less time.”
“Fine.” Ina undressed, her manner much like Sesshomaru's. She slipped in and sat next to Rin, waiting for Kagome. Kagome slipped in, the bottle around her neck glowing with the shikon shards.
“Hey…Umm…Ina…?”
“Yes?”
“Where did you get the scar? You know…The one on your arm.”
Instead of explaining with words, Ina created a flashback of the day and placed it in Kagome's mind.
~Flashback~
Ina followed Rin and Jaken to ensure their safety as they went to go fishing. Rin emerged from the brush first to see two wolf demons and a pack of normal wolves. She froze, remembering that she had been killed once by wolves.
Jaken stumbled from the brush, Rin crouching behind him to hide as she squeaked, “Jaken-Sama!” in fear.
Jaken stared at the wolves and demons, who stared back. Oh right… Jaken thought. Rin was attacked by these wolves. He glanced back at Rin and then glared at the wolves. “You! Wolves!” He shouted. “Leave here immediately.”
“What for?!” Ginta shouted back. “Just who do you think you're talking to?”
Hakkaku jumped in. “We are the right- and left-hand men of Kouga, Leader of the wolf clan! I am the one with the biceps, Hakkaku!”
“And, I'm the one with the dimples, Ginta!”
They both shouted, “Well, well, do you get it now?!”
Jaken sighed, shaking his head. “Not really.”
“What?!” Hakkaku shouted.
Jaken got the scariest look on his face he could muster. “You bastards are the ones who should be afraid! I've been serving Sesshomaru-Sama for several hundred years. I've been with him to hell and back; his liege man, Jaken, that is who I am!”
Ina stopped paying attention because she realized Sesshomaru was coming. She sank into the shadows.
[Later on]
Rin was picking flowers, Ina supervising her. She caught scent of a centipede demon and leapt between the demon and Rin before it attacked, sinking its venomous fangs into Ina's arm instead of Rin. Ina, wincing with a struggled voice, shouted, “Rin, get back to Sesshomaru-Sama!”
Rin obeyed, running in fear the whole way back.
[The next morning]
Ina had wrapped the wound with the sleeve of her kimono. She ripped the other sleeve to rewrap the wound. The toxins kept it from healing. The bleeding was becoming a problem. It hadn't stopped bleeding at all and she was feeling very light-headed. She saw a figure of white standing over her and felt cold steel against her stomach an instant later. Her vision, blurred, could only make out silver and white.
The aura, her father's, calmed her enough to give her the liberty of sleep. The pain shot through her even in sleep.
~End of Flashback~
“Does it still hurt?”
“At times, yes.” Ina splashed Rin back for an especially nasty wave and lathered her hair as Kagome was hers.
Sesshomaru waited at the edge of the treeline, his back turned. He was listening to the conversation, a heavy weight on his shoulders. He walked soundlessly back to the camp where Ah-un waited, a phantom amidst the trees.
That's where I'll stop.
Sesshomaru: Mm-hmm.
Naraku: Yeah.
Naraku & Sesshomaru: *staring at computer screen*
Me: Huh? *looks* EEEEEWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PERVS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Naraku: What? You're sexy.
