DemonGirl-Setsuna: Hi there! Setsuna here!
I know it’s been about a month since my last update, but I did have to write the Chapter first! And, the computer was being bitchy, by not letting me up-load the chapter!
I received a review saying: “nice story were did u get a character like her”.
If you are referring to Sakura…
She is based off of me!
If not…
Tell me who you mean.
Ritalin-writer: (from behind Setsuna in the other room) And then we go see Santa! But first, the heartless!
Setsuna: (glancing behind her) Don’t mind her, Ritalin is playing the ‘Kingdom Hearts 2’ game we bought on four Saturdays ago. And by the sounds of it she is at Halloween Town.
Now to get back onto track…
Last time; Sakura had a dream about her father.
InuYasha knocked Sakura out to let her rest.
And, Sakura sat him as an unconscious revenge.
What will happen next?

Ch. 22
-------------------------------------------
Sakura slowly flutters her violet eyes open, she was laying on her side staring at the fire-pit.
What happened?’, she wonders.
Suddenly, the memory of InuYasha hitting a pressure-point to make her sleep comes to her mind.
InuYasha…that bastard…!’, she thinks, bolting up-right, ‘Where the hell did he go?’, she looks around the hut.
The hut was empty, then she hears splashing coming from outside.
“Outside huh?”, she whispers, as she carefully stood up onto her wobbly legs and walks to the doorway.
She sees InuYasha crouched by the stream, his kimono and haori stripped off, and she could see the injury to his abdomen from Sesshomaru still hadn’t healed.
The injury had puss seeping from every pore within the area of the wound; it had become infected.
She quietly walked up behind him; with a damp rag in her hand, and begins to clean his injury.
InuYasha jumps at the contact of the rag touching his wound.
He hurriedly looks behind him, “Sakura…”, he gasps, almost in relief when he sees her there with a passive look on her face as she concentrated on her task.
“I knew I shouldn’t have let you tend to your injury yourself”, she mutters, making eye contact with him for a moment, “It’s become infected”.
InuYasha silently sits there, letting Sakura continue her task of cleaning his wound.
“So how long was I asleep for?”, she asks.
“Two days…”, he answers, “How are you feeling?”
“Better now”, she replies, “Even though I disapprove of your method, thank you for making me rest”.
“You’re welcome”, he chuckles.
“Don’t do it again!”, she warns, whacking him on the back of the head.
“I’ll try to do it without you noticing next time”.
“InuYasha…you…”, Sakura growls, her face turning red from anger.
“Ah InuYasha, I see you’ve been freed from your confinement, my love”, a woman’s voice coolly says.
The two traveling companions look over at the speaker and sees a young woman who appeared to be in her late teens-early twenties, with icy brown eyes, long black hair pulled into a low pony-tail, and the woman was dressed in the robes of a priestess.
She resembles my mother!’, Sakura thinks.
“Who the hell are you?”, InuYasha shouts.
“Oh, I’m hurt that you’ve forgotten me”, the woman mocks, faking sadness, “But it isn’t your fault, that my sister had interrupted my spell”, she adds.
“Then you must be the undead priestess; Kikyo, I presume”, Sakura states.
“I can see the daughter of my reincarnation has more brains in her head than her mother”, Kikyo mocks, “Yes, I am Kikyo”.
“You bitch! How dare you insult my mother!”, Sakura growls, inching her hand towards one of her concealed daggers.
Suddenly, an arrow wizzes past her head; grazing her cheek, and Kikyo stood with another arrow loaded in her bow, ready to shoot again.
“I wouldn’t do that if I were you”, the priestess warns, aiming the arrow at the teen.
InuYasha stands protectively in front of Sakura drawing his Tetsusaiga; the sword transforming into it’s true-form as he did, “Don’t you harm her!”, he demands, while being completely confused as to way he was protecting her to such a degree.
“InuYasha! I don’t need you to protect me! I can take care of myself!”, Sakura protests, pushing to stand in front of him.
“Get back behind me where it’s safe!”
“Stop trying to protect me like this! I’m not my mother!”
InuYasha blinks at her remark, and realizing that she was right; he had been seeing the teen as her mother, who could stand up for herself, but needed to be rescued almost all of the time.
“Out of my way!”, Sakura retorts, shoving past him.
“Sakura…”, he whispers.
“How sweet”, Kikyo mocks, aiming her loaded bow at Sakura, “Now you can die and leave InuYasha to me”, she lets her arrow fly.
Sakura was frozen in fear.
Suddenly, a shield of red and silvery-white came in-between her and the approaching arrow; blocking her vision.
“SHUKK!”, was the sound of the arrow piercing flesh.
InuYasha looks over his shoulder at Sakura, “Are you…you okay…?”, he pants, a stream of blood coursing from the corner of his mouth.
Sakura could only nod.
“InuYasha…you’re bleeding…”, she gasps.
“A little blood-shed…is the price…for…protecting…you…”, he says, his eyes glazing over as he falls backwards to the ground; Kikyo’s arrow sticking out of the left side of his chest.
Lightening begins to crackle around his body from the arrow.
“Ngh…”, he groans, his face contorting in pain.
“InuYasha!”, Sakura screams.
