InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Silver Rain ❯ Memories ( Chapter 14 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
A wispy wind blow through the peach trees that shrouded the sacred building. Sweat cascaded a crown around her forehead and she tiredly held the bow in her hand, she tried to wipe that off in vain. The rain started quickly to pour, the figure in the only non peach tree watched intently to what the woman was doing everything she was doing fascinated him. On her chest was a white kimono that soaked in all the water, milky white skin. But under it is what was his only reason to see her. She walked over to the porch and engrossed herself in a towel. As she stood her shimmering brown eyes wandered the horizon until they found the tree, the gaze stood until she smiled her eyes gently closed.
"Even a wise man has enough sence to get out of the rain." With several easy jumps avoiding the peach trees he landed in front of the steps, the silver hair being a complete ideogram for her."I do not wish to fight you today Inuyasha," Inuyasha quickly brushed off like a dog. From the open sliding door he could see a body lieing wrapped up on a futon. Somehow Naraku had managed to weasel his way into Kikyo's care without Inuyasha knowing. His scent even was masked by the various seals on the door."I have a human to take care of today so I don't want anything unnatural happening." Inuyasha in his crotched posistion turned his head defiantly before he made a change to his human form. Kikyo went inside and kneeled before the futon and sloshed a rag in a bowl. He followed and stood wide at the base of the door. 'Is it a spell that keeps her from seeing Naraku as a demon?' This wasn't the plan! "Inuyasha," her hands wrung out the rag and stood,"I will return momentarily do not touch him." Kikyo shoved her way past him, but the mere brush of her shoulder made Inuyasha inhale her scent. Besides the scent of the peaches which all demons detest it was smothered with a touch of a foreign perfume that she always wore. Laughter brought Inuyasha to his sences, Naraku held himself up by his elbows. Yet at the same time Inuyasha saw him on the futon wrapped up in bandages.
"A illusion!"
"As long as I lay in that posistion all she sees or sences is a human." Inuyasha's eyes narrowed.
"This wasn't the plan. The deal we made was for me to get it..."
"You were taking too long." Inuyasha's eye brows joined together.
"Thats not the only reason now is it?" Naraku lay back down, the illusion nicely fitting when Kikyo strolled in with a new bowl of water."Why do you care so much for this 'human'?"
"Because I...want to help him, pity him for he will never be able to move." A small tinge of pink sprinkled her pale complextion. 'Human hearts are weak.'
"Sister Kikyo!" A small voice called."Kikyo!" Without a word Kikyo disappeared to the sound of the voice.
"Feeling second best eh Inuyasha?"
"Shut up."
"Are you going to help me finish what we started?"
"Never."

The words that dripped from the venom lips of Naraku brought Inuyasha from the past to the present. "Yes always second best Inuyasha," Naraku dipped his head over towards Inuyasha's face and whispered,"You said you'd never help me but in fact you did just like your going to help me again. Are you going to help me finish what we started?" Long claws were extended toward Inuyasha's eye. Between the cries of pain, Inuyasha felt himself being pulled from his own body. A deeper presence was being removed, something darker that lurked inside his very being. He then felt himself be transported behind his eye like he was watching out of a window. Naraku let Inuyasha fall to his knees, his whole body cracked and clicked.
"Inuyasha." Kagome cried weakly as she watched him transform but this time it wasn't like anything before. He stood on two legs and dragged his legs toward Kagome he ripped her shirt where her cut was and reached in to touch the jewel without hesitation."Inuyasha?" He could feel the power and a low purple light was put forth.
"Not again." Kagome grabbed Inuyasha's hand before he could pull it out. His demon eyes looked at anger towards this, Kagome almost started to cry. The bond that was between them was soon realized, Inuyasha even without being his normal self he could feel that bond as she was his and his alone. He ripped the jewel out of her stomach and headed toward Naraku."Excellent Inuyasha. Now give me the jewel." Naraku open his greedy palm. Sango and Miroku held Kagome in their lap and tried to blott the blood which was slowly stopping from the poison that flowed slowly healing itself. Inuyasha was about one foot away from Naraku and in his hand was the glistening jewel that didn't disappear to some unknown place. He made a fake attempt to give the jewel to Naraku then he made a fist.
"You want it so badly you can fucking take it!" His fist when through Naraku's chest. Naraku's red eyes went blank but not before Inuyasha was thrown back by another round of poison that seeped under Naraku's skin. He thought back to how Naraku had done the same thing as before he recalled the memory.....




Memories consume
Like opening the wound
I'm picking me apart again
You all assume
I'm safer in my room
Unless I try to start again


"Sister Sister Sister Kikyo!" Kaeda wailed. Kikyo's body slowly started to fall to the ground. Naraku smiled viciously.

"A kill well done." he laughed.

"Inuyasha why why did you kill her!" her pail eyes gazed at Inuyasha emptiedly,"Why Inuyasha?"

"She was in the way Inuyasha don't listen to her." Naraku said firmly to Inuyasha. Inuyasha said nothing but picked up the jewel. He held it between his thumb and index finger. The jewel grew a purple light and disintigrated into dust that begain to rise to the ceiling.

"What the hell is going on!?" Inuyasha yelled.

I don't want to be the one
Who battles always choose
Cuz inside I realize
That I'm the one confused

"You'll never have it Inuyasha its going to the next priestess and after the next and next," these are kikyo's last words,"as long as we ...live."

"Kikyo!" Kaeda Kikyo's sister cried and clung to the body she felt thick mucus like blood absorb into her eyes, mouth, and nose. She couldn't see.

"Inuyasha we'll just kill priestess after priestess until we..." Naraku was interupted.

"No! You go leave me alone."

"Inuyasha you can't run from this you helped kill her to!" Naraku yelled to Inuyasha. After Inuyasha left he turned to Kaede."Goodbye little brat hope that revenge will consume you if you get the jewel that's how I want it." Kaeda tried smearing the blood out of her right eye but it wouldn't come out pain struck her as she rubbed it and rubbed it soon her own blood poured out. She wailed and wailed Naraku walked out laughing at the sight she left blood collected in the palms of her hands. She looked at the sight of her dead sister and swore that she'd kill her sister's killer.

I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean

Inuyasha flew past the shrine and through the forest. 'It wasn't me Kikyo! It wasn't me!' he played over and over in his head. 'I wasn't my self I didn't mean to kill you kikyo! I loved you!' Naraku didn't pursue him but Inuyasha ran like the devil was at his heels. The others would come. His feet carried him to the woods but he didn't dare go home. The river would wash all this clean everything...would melt away. When he waded until the water reached his neck he dipped his head under. The disgusting scent of blood covered him a great stench that didn't fade away. Frantically he rubbed his stained hands tainted with blood. The blue grey eyes taunted him when he shut his eyes was all he could see. He wailed in fury screaming her name.

I don't know how I got this way
I know it's not alright
So I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight

"INUYASHA!" He woke up with a shout from his older brother covered in blood of villagers he must have killed. The elder brother swooped down Kaijinbo in hand raised above Inuyasha's head,"Die!" Inuyasha didn't even move when Kaijinbo rested against his neck, Sesshomaru waited for him to fight back but no responce. Silver hairs slinked down from the sword."You dare, stand before my presence as you are you worthless half-ling!" Amber eyes met red eyes, and with sheer force claws plummeted into skin. Clutching his red kimono Inuyasha felt the blood ooze from his fingers."Do you know what you did?!" Inuyasha could not focus on his brother, he felt death was near."Father is dead because of you!" Inuyasha was taken back, he muttered a how.
"How that damn village killed him! They thought he was the one who killed their precious human!" 'Kikyo' In disgrace Inuyasha tilted his head, and let his arms drop not only did he put himself in danger but he put the whole clan in danger, which killed his father."Father made me promise not to kill you here, but if you ever return you blood will sully this," the blade glistened,"sword I hold in my hands. Now leave before I break my promise.
"You are Dead to the clan," Sesshomaru's hand glowed yellow and a long whip appeared,"INUYASHA!" In sprint Inuyasha escaped Sesshomaru's violent spin of the golden whip. He kept running until he was past the border of Mito city. 'What happend!' He couldn't remember after telling Naraku that he would never help him. That was all he could think of...


Cultured my cure
I tightly lock the door
I try to catch my breath again
I hurt much more
Than anytime before
I have no options left again
I dont want to be the one
Who battles always choose
Cuz inside I realize
That I'm the one confused


I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
I don't know why I instigate
And say what I don't mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight


I'll paint it on the walls
Cuz I'm the one that falls
I'll never fight again
And this is how it ends


I don't know what's worth fighting for
Or why I have to scream
But now I have some clarity
to show you what I mean
I don't know how I got this way
I'll never be alright
So, I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit
I'm breaking the habit tonight


Then the realization hit Inuyasha Naraku had stolen his soul.....
