InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Cursed To Be Alone ❯ A Friends Appearance, Moments Of Peace ( Chapter 6 )

JCJaganish: Hey! Sorry that I didn't update sooner, *points to writers block which is currently tied up in a chair* That evil thing kept me from updating, oh and to my reviewers.

Kagomeinuyashafan: ^_^ Thank you! X3 All the people, who are reading this, review please, Thankies. ^_^

Wolfeh: I have a really good explanation for why there are some sentences that run together and some things I don't describe really good are because, I have chores. Then sometimes I think I wrote it down and I didn't, and the other reason is because, I can't really describe stuff well. ^^; I'm trying though.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha, or the song, Flower of Eternity. (A song from an Anime called, 'Ai Yori Yoshi'. *Don't sue, only has a penny* ^^;

A Friend's Appearance, Moments of Peace!

~*~*~Chapter 6 Start! ~*~*~

~*~*Last Time~*~*

Miroku smiled and looked up, seeing the stars having a kissing formation of him and her. He wrapped his arm around Sango, and was about to kiss her forehead, until he heard something.

~*~This Time~*~

He gently placed her against a tree, he heard someone yell, `Half Breed! Get out of our village!' He walked over to where Inuyasha and Sayuri were; thinking that Inuyasha might have gone into the village. He blinked as he saw men throwing rocks at a small girl. He was half way to where Inuyasha and Sayuri were as he saw the men and the small girl.

The small girl was bruised because of the rocks that were hitting her flesh. The small girl had bright blonde hair, and piercing white ears. She was wearing a white kimono top and a pair of green kimono bottoms. She was about Shippou's height, and was only holding a small locket. Miroku soon heard a man yell, `We don't need a little brat like you, in the village!' Miroku walked out in front of the girl. Then the men stopped throwing rocks at the girl, since Miroku had stepped in front of her. He narrowed his eyes at them, the men then ran off. "You'll die at the hands of the monk!" They said. Miroku shook his head, and then looked back at the girl. "Are you all right?" He asked. He then saw the small girl, open her bright blue eyes. She looked up at him, and slowly nodded. She looked to be the age of ten. "I- I am fine. Thank you." She said, then bowed her head. "Do you want me to help you find a new village?" He asked. She nodded once. "Yes please." She said. Miroku nodded, then motioned her to follow him. "So, what's your name?" He asked. The girl looked up at him. "My name, its Miyako," She said. Miroku nodded, "I'm Miroku." He said, and then appeared in the clearing where Sango was at.

Sango looked up at Miroku. "Oh, where did you go Miroku?" She asked, then looked over to the girl. "Miyako," She asked, then the small girl, looked up at Sango. "Sango-sama," She asked. Miyako smiled, as did Sango. Miyako ran to Sango, and gave her a hug. "Come on, get some rest." Sango said. Miyako nodded, then snuggled into Sango's lap, and soon rested, and fell asleep. Miroku rested beside Sango, and soon wrapped his arm around her waist. Sango rested her head on his shoulder, and soon fell into a light sleep with Miroku.

~*~Next Morning~*~

Sayuri was wearing a fighting outfit, (A/N: This is going to be the one she wears everyday, unless like, They need to be dressed up for something.) A black top likes Kikyo's, that had white strips around her stomach. The pants were a bit baggy, like Inuyasha's, and were black as well. They had strips near her waist, continuing from the strips around her stomach, but finished on her middle upper thigh. She knelt down, then poked Inuyasha. He was sitting down, his eyes closed, and his sword at his side; he opened his right eye and looked at Sayuri. "What?" He asked. "Well, are we going after the others or not?" She asked, standing up. "Fine," He said, then stood up, and walked in front of her, leading her towards the others. Sayuri walked behind Inuyasha, her long brown hair with blonde highlights that reached her lower back, right above her butt, swayed in the wind gently.

@~@ Sayuri's Point Of View @~@

I looked up at Inuyasha, and then blinked as he looked back at me. "Got a staring problem wench?" He growled. I shook my head, then narrowed my eyes. "No, I was just wondering if your brain was truly broke, or, if you are just lucky in battles." I said, only to see him growl and turn around. I smirked, then saw Sango and Miroku. I smirked they were still sleeping. `How cute.' I thought, my face softening a bit as I smiled at them.

@~@ Inuyasha's Point Of View @~@

I looked at Sayuri once and smirked inwardly. She looked pretty cute...WAIT! HOLD UP! What was I thinking? I can't like the new member like that. I sighed softly, then looked to the sky, placing my arms in the opposite sleeves. I then looked at the two sleeping, I snorted, "Once they wake up, we leave." I said, then jumped up onto a tree branch and sat down. It was then that I realized a small hanyou was snuggling up to Shippou.

@~@Normal Point Of View @~@

Sayuri smiled and nodded, then giggled at Sango and Miroku. "They look so cute together." She said softly, and then saw the Shippou was awake. "Well, good morning Shippou." She said, Shippou jumped into her arms and smiled. Sayuri stroked his hair and then sat down, holding him.

Red eyes soon fluttered open, and black slits appeared. "Mew?" The small cat asked, and soon stretched. Kilala yawned and stretched her paws out in front of her and she stood up and jumped onto Sango's lap, and looked up.

Miyako and Shippou had waken up, they were sitting up, and rubbing their eyes looking at Sango and Miroku, wondering if the two would get up. Miyako looked over to where Inuyasha and Sayuri were. She walked over to Sayuri and poked her leg. "Are you a friend of Sango-sama's?" She asked.

Sayuri blinked, then looked down and nodded once. "Yes, I am a friend of Sango's." She said then picked up Miyako and smiled. "Are you?" She asked, to see the small hanyou nod. She smiled a bit, only to look back up to Sango and Miroku. Miyako stood at her side.

The demon slayer eyes opened a bit and she yawned slightly, looking down at the small cat on her lap. Then the demon slayer looked ahead, she saw Sayuri and a blush quickly covered her face as she got up instantly and walked over to her giant boomerang, Hiraikotsu, and picked it up. She then whacked Miroku over the head.

The monk woke up, and yelled. "SANGO!" He growled a bit, "What was that for?" He asked. He had a rather large bump on his head, and he didn't even do anything! He was asleep for crying out loud! He looked ahead then saw Sayuri and Inuyasha. He sweatdropped, "Oh," He said.

Inuyasha looked down at the two-`love birds' that had just woke up. "Come on you two. Hurry up, we're leaving soon." He said, and soon his nose twitched slightly. `Blood and Naraku's stench.' He thought then stood up. "Come on I smell blood and Naraku's disgusting stench." He said, then jumped down and knelt down in front of Sayuri. "Get on." He said.

Sayuri nodded, then gently climbed onto Inuyasha's back, her hands rested upon his shoulders. She felt his hands gently close around her thighs, then she felt Shippou's hands tighten on her own shoulders. Sayuri sat up as Inuyasha ran off.

"Kilala!" Sango yelled, the fire demon nodded, then soon flames engulfed the small fire demon. As the flames disappeared, a large cat demon stood, two large fangs poking out from her mouth. She had flames around each of her paws and her tails stood in the air. Kilala roared, and soon Sango jumped onto her cat demon's back, Sango was in her demon exterminator outfit and had Hiraikotsu strapped on her back.

Miyako had then jumped on behind Miroku, and blinked a bit. Wondering who Naraku was, all she knew was that Sango-sama had killed the demon that tried to kill her parents, so it couldn't have been Naraku.

Miroku soon stood up and ran over to Kilala, soon jumping onto the cat demons back, and he put one arm around Sango's waist, the other arm held his monk staff. He then held onto Sango a bit tighter as the fire demon jumped into the air and soon flew off after Inuyasha. Her paws seemingly touching ground in the air.

Soon, they came upon a village. A wild fire had started but its origins were not seen and were soon eating the whole village, flickers of the flames licked the air, and bloody and beaten bodies were banded on the battlefield. It was horrible, there were even children's bodies that were beaten and bloody. These were no normal beatings for the children though, the children had been beaten, but with a whip. The woman had been strangled and a knife was in their throat, killing them instantly. The men had been slashed in two.

Sayuri gently slid off of Inuyasha's back, her eyes wide. "What would have done this? Why would he do this? Naraku's horrible." She whispered, and saw a small child crying, huddled over in a ball; a large slash was on the boy's back. Sayuri ran over to the small boy, and soon knelt down in front of him. "Shhh. it's ok, we are here now." Sayuri said, and the boy held onto her stomach. She stroked his head gently, and then she stood up, and walked over to Shippou. "Stay with him ok?" She asked, to see Shippou nod. She looked back into the village, and saw a large demon, about the height of Goshinkishi.

The demon had green scaly skin like a lizard, small squinty eyes like a rat. He had long claws about ten huts long, and fangs like vampires. Looking down at the woman, with hidden miko powers, hanyou, and kitsune, he growled. He then swiped at the group, and saw the hanyou pick up the woman and jump out of the way and the kitsune jump back. `The kitsune.' He thought.

Soon, Kilala landed in front of Shippou and let off the two human riders, and the one hanyou on her back. They looked at the demon, then to Inuyasha and Sayuri. "Are you two okay?" Sango asked, walking over to them, only to be blown back to Miroku. Miyako blinked a bit, she looked up towards the demon and growled a bit. Then sniffed the wind, something was keeping the two groups apart. A barrier was stuck beneath the two groups, Kilala, Shippou, Miyako, Sango, and Miroku on one end. Inuyasha, Sayuri, and Myouga on the other, Myouga had gone un-noticed most of the day, he was trying to figure out the new character, Sayuri.

The demon then jumped over to Shippou and picked him up, "You shall be my first meal!" He said in a dark, raspy voice. He then opened his mouth, and began to lower the kitsune to it. "WAHH! Inuyasha, Sayuri, Sango, Miroku, Miyako, Kilala!" Shippou yelled. Sango picked up her giant boomerang then threw it at the demon. "Hiraikotsu!" She yelled, it slashed off the demon's arms. Then, staggering back a bit, the demon slayer had caught the Hiraikotsu. The small boy Shippou was said to look after had ran off, towards a near by village once he had sawn the demon.

Miroku had run over to where Shippou was falling and had caught the small kitsune. Shippou hung onto Miroku. Miroku hurriedly had placed the kitsune on Kilala's back, then grabbed Miyako and placed her on Kilala`s back. "Kilala, get Shippou, and Miyako out of here!" He yelled, the cat demon roared and then nodded, and began to take flight. Shippou held onto Kilala, Miyako held onto Shippou, and felt one of Kilala's tails goes around them. Both smiled a bit, than looked back at the others.

Sayuri looked at the demon; she then closed her eyes. Her and Inuyasha were in a box, but were Inuyasha going to be the smart one and ask if anything was around them? Nope. Inuyasha rammed right into the aura box and fell back down beside Sayuri. Sayuri looked down at him, and shook her head slightly. She then closed her eyes, and soon a blue aura emitted around her, soon she was lifted into the air slightly, and then soon the box had disappeared. She then landed on the ground gently, and soon at the same time. Her and Inuyasha drew their swords, and ran toward the demon that was now armless.

Inuyasha smirked at her, and she nodded once. Sayuri then jumped onto Inuyasha's shoulders, and then jumped off, and slashed the demon's head off. Inuyasha slashed off the demons upper body from its middle body. They both jumped back, and then stood beside one another. Sayuri then walked over to the demon, and rolled up her haori top, and then picked up the demon's arms and then picked up the right one, and inserted her hand into the demon's arm, and grabbed the Shikon Shard. She winced a bit, feeling the blood on her hand. She then pulled her arm from the demon's arm, and she sighed and purified the shard. "I guess we should be going huh?" She asked. The others nodded, and they all began to walk after Kilala.

~*~Later On That Day, Around Sunset~*~(A/N: This will be a small fluff scene between two characters. Plus, I know the male doesn't act like this normally, but it sparked me as an idea, so he will act like it now, just for this scene.)

Sayuri was walking along the small beach where they had camped for the night. She sat down and placed her hands on her knees and looked out to the setting sun. She smiled a bit; "it's so beautiful." She said gently. She thought that everyone else was at the camp, unknown to her, golden amber eyes were watching her.

Inuyasha was watching her from the forest; his eyes were locked on Sayuri. What was it about this girl that had intrigued him to embrace her a few nights ago. He walked over to her and then knelt down besides her sitting beside her.

The seasons move on, leaving

The scent of the flowers blooming pale

The rain has stopped too, clouds in the sky

Are blown gently by the blue breeze

Sayuri blinked at Inuyasha, then smiled a bit. "Good Evening Inuyasha, I thought that you were with the others at camp." She said, then shivered a bit. She blinked as she had felt a red haori top being placed around her.

Inuyasha had seen her shiver, then took off his red haori top and placed it around her, and then sat down beside her, smiling slightly at her. He then looked up at the sky and then sighed a bit.

Both today and tomorrow

Alongside the times we walk

Our trembling thoughts will be there

Unchanging

Sayuri smiled a bit, then wrapped the haori around her body and then looked out to the ocean and smiled. She placed the haori down then walked over to the ocean and smiled as she began to twirl in the water.

Inuyasha then looked up at her, and blinked, and smiled a bit. `She's really happy, she seems to have a worried scent around her. I wonder what she is worried about.' He thought, then stood up and watched her.

Forever Forever

It blooms but never dies

The pounding of my heart never ceases

More than anyone, More than anyone

I gaze at you

With this feeling that never ends

Sayuri soon blinked as she heard `sloshing' sounds behind her, she went to look behind her, but soon felt a clawed hand covering her eyes, she yelped in surprise, and blinked many times.

"If you do as I say, then I might let you go." Inuyasha said, his voice soft, but yet, still cold in a way. He had one arm around her waist, and the other covering her eyes. `What is this I'm feeling? I never felt to be soft or gentle to anyone, except for Kikyo.' He thought, looking at Sayuri.

That day, when we met

How many times in the world

Has a miracle like this happened?

Whom shall I thank?

Sayuri yelped, as she was soon pushed down, lightly though, into the water. She soon sat up, and heard a small snickering noise. She looked up, her hair was sticking to her face, since she had fallen into the water, her eyes narrowed. "It's not funny!" She smirked, then splashed the snickering boy.

Inuyasha blinked, then looked down at her as she had splashed him. He growled lightly, just messing around with her, but it seemed like he was mad. He then walked behind her, and tackled her, as she had turned around, he smirked, letting her head stay above the water and on the ground.

Ah, I know your future

Will be perfect for me

There will be nights when I can't say it

Although I may cry

Sayuri squeaked out of surprise, then looked up at him and blinked, and went to wipe her eyes, but found that they were pinned down by clawed hands. She then felt the water roll down from her face, seeming to look likes tears, but they weren't they were just the water falling down. A small blush crept onto her cheeks, as Inuyasha still hadn't let her go. `Am I feeling this emotion. For Inuyasha?' She thought.

Inuyasha looked down at her, then took one of his hands and wiped away the water from above and under her eyes. He then smirked at the small blush on her face, and gently let her hands go, and then sat to the side of her. Smiling a bit as he then helped her up. Seeing her shiver, mostly because of the water coldness, he got his red haori top, and placed it around her.

Forever Forever

It may pass, but it will not fade

In the wind, under the sky, I wait

If I believe if I believe

Then your smile

Will surely become my flower

Sayuri smiled at him, then soon shivered once again, and walked over to where they had been sitting, and sat down. She saw him still sitting at the shore of the small beach, and she smiled a bit more.

Inuyasha then stood up and walked behind her, and wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her into an embrace, only, his legs were stretched out, and Sayuri's body rested against his chest. He smiled, and held her, looking at the sky.

Forever Forever

It blooms but never dies

The pounding of my heart never ceases

More than anyone, More than anyone

I gaze at you

With this never ending feeling

Sayuri blushed a bit, but soon rested against him, and soon looked up at the sky. "Oh, Inuyasha look, it looks like two bunnies nestling together." She said, pointing up to the sky, smiling at the stars.

Inuyasha smiled a bit and nodded. "Mh-hm." He said, then rested his head on hers, and soon felt her fall asleep. He then stroked her hair lightly and soon closed his eyes, not asleep, but not awake. He then held her tightly, but not to tightly just possessively. Little did they know that a few minutes away, the same thing had just happened with Sango and Miroku? (A/N: Aw. That's so cute!)

~*~Next Morning~*~

The morning colors shone on the sky, bright pinks, light blues and timid oranges ran through the sky, shining down on two pairs of characters. One of the pairs was Inuyasha and Sayuri; the other was Miroku and Sango. Sayuri soon opened her eyes and yawned a bit, then went to stand up, but was soon pulled back down to the ground she looked back, and saw Inuyasha holding her. His eyes were narrowed in his sleep, and a small growl came from his throat. She blinked, then smiled and snuggled against him.

Sango and Miroku had woken up, and were washing their faces. Soon done, Sango stood up and walked over to Miroku, she smiled and then they both began to walk toward the camp. She saw Inuyasha and Sayuri, and smiled a bit, once at the camp, she sat down by Miroku.

Miyako and Shippou were sleeping near each other at the camp, Kilala's tails around them as she slept as well.

Inuyasha was having a bad dream, a nightmare at that, he didn't know what had caused him to have this nightmare but it wasn't going to be a pretty one.

~*~Inuyasha's Dream~*~

Inuyasha was walking toward a village, with Sayuri at his side, the others had went to go talk to Kouga, to get the shards from him. He then blinked as men grabbed Sayuri. "Get your filthy hands off of her!" He growled. The men then tackled Inuyasha and chained him up, and chained him into a cage. They had gotten Sayuri tied to a tree. "Let me go! Inuyasha!" She yelled, and a man then began to nuzzle her stomach.

She went to kick him, but he caught her leg, and smirked. Soon men began to walk into the cage, with spears and daggers. Inuyasha then growled the Tetsusaiga was down on the cage's floor, he jumped up, and red blood eyes looked at the men. Purple jagged streaks appeared under his eyes, and his claws and fangs grew.

He slashed at the men and then soon growled at the man who was nuzzling Sayuri's stomach. Then Inuyasha threw him into a tree, and then struck his hand through the guy's stomach as he had called him a, "Half-breed mutt!" Then Inuyasha walked over to Sayuri, who was a bit afraid. He then placed his claw on her neck, and then soon slashed, cutting the chains, and then he sniffed her. He growled.

Sayuri scooted back once, and looked up at Inuyasha. "Down Inuyasha!" She said, and he soon kissed the ground. Waking up, he yawned.

~*~Out Of The Dream~*~

Sayuri was looking at the water, and Inuyasha then opened his eyes and smiled at her, he stood up and stretched a bit. He then stood up, and helped Sayuri up, and then took his red haori top back, and placed it back on. Her scent of passionflowers and freesia was wrapped his haori. He smiled a bit. Sayuri then walked over to the entrance to the forest.

Soon two clawed hands went around her mouth, and soon placed a cloth over her nose and she inhaled sleeping fumes, soon falling into figure arms.

"I have her now, you shall never see her again Inuyasha." A dark voice whispered and soon the figure and Sayuri disappeared.

JCJaganish: AH! Who took Sayuri? Why didn't Inuyasha go after her? Why am I asking you if I'm the writer? Who knows? But, in the next chapter, we shall find out. Read and Review!
