InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Future Heart, Future Pain, Future Hope ❯ Chapter 38 ( Chapter 39 )

[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]

I am glad you all are enjoying this....there was a common misconception that some of you made concerning a certain part. I will just tell you this...remember the title...

As to what another person asked...well that will be explained in a later chapter....

A certain other fox will be the only character from a different story. Even then his role will be significantly small as he will be OoC. So just in case you are wondering, that is why this is not a crossover as this character will hardly be in it. Second, this will be for him a prequel of sorts....well you will see....

Visions and answers Part 3

Buzzing with what it had seen, Naraku's poison insect flew. As it traveled it was eventually joined by not one, but two others of its kind. Each one had been sent, to watch a particular person and or group, that Naraku deemed worthy of his attention.

As they arrived at their destination, each insect buzzed around patiently as one right after another went in to deliver their report. When they were finished and set loose once more, Naraku turned and smiled. This new information, he had received was indeed interesting, and could be used to his advantage without a doubt.

Altering his plan that was in motion already, Naraku summoned another Insect. And this time directed it to deliver information to someone... One who journeys towards them, one who the vile hanyou has taken a particular interest in.

Setting to watch what could be an interesting event, he also keeps his eye out for intense magic.

Considering that the youth as well as Inuyasha's new friend come from a different time, and that there were not many demons who could manipulate that kind of energy.

Very few in fact to be honest....

The primary demons that can do it were the Spirit Foxes of the Southern Lands. By using their connection to the stars themselves, the demons could transport any one or anything to another time via the location of the heavenly lights.

To them, it was a special ability, born only to them. One that at any given time or place, they could immediately predict where any star will be on a specific night or time. Whether it be years in the past or ahead in the future.

And something tells Naraku, that these two will not be the only ones to come forth from another time....

In the Future...

With the death of Naoko, Kanaye was for the first time frightened and at the same time...angry. It seemed that someone else was involved in his little quest for power.

Whoever it was had incredible power and strength, that was beyond his comprehension. But claiming to be a god, who controlled destiny?

That was ridiculous.

Or so he thought as he worked to sort out the memories deep in his mind. Because at this moment, although some are steadily disappearing he now has two sets of memories.

Not only that, various allies were starting to disappear or had scars that were never there before. Just the other day, a forest that he head clearly remembered being larger, had a dead space that was simply too big to imagine. Everything, including the land itself was dead and nothing had grown for many years according to his own mind...

But yet, he knows that just the other day, the forest was alive and teeming with animals of all shapes and sizes.

So many things were changing and he recognized the changes. Except he just couldn't accept them. It was just wrong. But there was oen thing exceptionally wrong, in his memory....

What was it you ask?

It was the fact he remembered meeting Naoko, much earlier than when he remembered.

How did he realize that?

Her death. Yes he was remorseful that she was gone, but what it triggered surprised him. Apparently, she had been with him far longer in one memory than another....

Something was definitely wrong in the past...

Because with each passing moment, more and more of his memory were vanishing...and being replaced by something else.

That hanyou's son, Taro, he realizes is somehow the key.

Turning to one of his lieutenants, he bid them summon a prisoner that he had recently captured. It was not the same one who had sent Taro back in time, but he would do. Reason being, the other had incensed Kanaye and...well, that one no longer lived.

But luckily for him, this particular fellow had gotten caught, by a demoness who was rather fond of her Jade necklace.

Noticing the return of his lieutenant, who has two of the prison guards behind him, he smiles at the struggling Spirit Fox demon between them. The silver hair and gold eyes, full of anger and hate as they stare at Kanaye, who gloats with a superior attitude towards his prisoner.

“So Youko Kurama, I have often wondered what the Master Thief looked like.” The black dog states purposefully. “Any pretty trinket you hear about, regardless of its importance you try to steal.”

Saying nothing, the Fox demon simply glares at him, the aura around its very nature strong and powerful, but held in check by the manacles upon his wrists--ones designed to harness and turn his own power against him. “What do you want Dog...”

“Down to the point, thief, I want you to send me and others back in time as well as bring us back.”

“Do I have a choice?”

“No.”

“When must I do this?”

“In three days time Fox. And if you succeed, I just might let you live upon our return.”

“And if I don't....?”

“For that eventual possibility fox, my men will make the last moments of your life a living hell...”
