"This is to easy," a tall, slender woman stated, followed by a sot menacing laugh, "You all give in so easily. I don't blame you though. Who wouldn't want a chance to be a child again? No cares or responsibilities. You can just sit back and enjoy yourself while your parents look after you."
The woman stood in the middle of a clearing, tall trees all around her. There were seven sleeping forms by her feet. She wore a long, white kimono with two serpents across the back. One of the serpents was blue and the other was pink. Her dark eyes were set in narrow slits and lined with the same blue as one of the serpents on her back. Her thin lips were the same soft pink color of the other serpent. She had small, pink stars, outlined in blue, by the far corners of each of her eyes. The woman's white hair was pulled up into to buns on the top of her head, decorated with pink and blue ribbons. In her arms was a newborn child wrapped in a white blanked. The child had white hair that lay flat on its head. It was staring down at the sleeping people, its eyes glowing red.
"Excellent job Nyuuji," the woman said to the infant in her arms, "You keep them in this state and I'll take care of them while they're vulnerable."
The woman shifter the child into her left arm. She stuck her right arm straight out with her palm up. A glowing, white sphere the size of a pea appeared in her palm. It grew to the size of a grapefruit in a fatter of seconds.
"Hmm...who first?" the woman asked herself, "Perhaps the little fox pup."
The woman pulled her arm back, then thrust the energy ball at the kitsune. As the ball drew closer to its target the pup could feel its energy drawing closer. He let out a small whimper in his sleep. The moment the sound left the kitsune's mouth, the dog hanyou holding him woke up. Just when the energy ball was about to hit its mark the hanyou jumped out of the way, with the pup in her arms.
"What!" the woman shrieked, "How did you wake up?"
"Who are you?" the hanyou asked before setting the sleeping pup down by her other companions, "What have you done to my friends?"
"I'm Sugi, you and your friends are trespassing in the Hebi's territory. As a member of the Hebi, I'm obligated to destroy all trespassers, master's orders," the woman explained, "I don't know How you were awakened, but like your friends, you must die."
Sugi created another energy call and sent it flying directly at Kagome. Kagome dodged the attack again.
"I don't know what you did to them, but undue it," Kagome demanded.
"I'm afraid I like them the way they are," Sugi answered, "They'll be much easier to kill this way."
Sugi sent another energy call, which Kagome again dodged. She landed by where Inuyasha and the others were laying.
"Inuyasha, wake up!" Kagome shook the hanyou as hard as she could, but got no response.
"He can't hear you," Sugi said.
Kagome dove at Sugi in response. Sugi tried to jump out of the way, but was not quite fast enough. Kagome was able to cut Sugi's arm with her newly acquired claws. Sugi landed a few feet away from Kagome. She stared down at the blood on her right arm. Kagome stared at the blood on her claws.
'I can't believe I just did that,' she thought, 'that felt kind of good.'
"You bitch, How dare you lay your filthy, half-breed claws on me!" Sugi yelled.
"Unless you want to feel my claws again, wake up my friends," Kagome was surprised How much she sounded like Inuyasha.
Sugi ignored her threat and sent another energy ball at her. Kagome jumped out of the way. She dove at Sugi again, but this time she was expected. Sugi was able to jump out of the way before Kagome got her. Enraged, Kagome dove at her again and again, but never came close to hitting her.
"Hold still and allow me to end your miserable little life," Sugi said as she sent another energy ball at Kagome.
Kagome dove out of the way. Sugi gave up on the energy balls for the moment and dove straight at Kagome. Kagome was caught off guard and wasn't able to get out of the way in time. Sugi hit Kagome in the chin with her free hand, still cradling Nyuuji in the other. Kagome was sent flying backwards. Her skirt snagged on a branch as the flew through the air. The snag caused her to turn in the air and land on her side just outside of the clearing they had been fighting in. Kagome lay still for a moment. Her body ached all over and she could feel blood slowly trickling down her leg. She sat up and leaned her back against a tree next to her. She looked down at her skirt. It had been ripped down the left side from top to bottom and now lay on the ground next to her. Her left leg had a gash at least 6 inches long.
"Come out here and fight!" Sugi yelled.
Kagome knew going back into the clearing wouldn't do her any good. She wasn't used to fighting on her own. Although she was sure she had to the power to defeat this enemy, she didn't know How to use her new abilities. Kagome decided to head for the tree tops and see if she could surprise her enemy from that angle. Her only chance of defeating Sugi would be to catch her off guard.
"If I cannot kill you, I'll have to settled for them," Sugi formed an energy ball and turned to Kagome's sleeping companions.
"I don't think so," Kagome mumbled to herself as she shot an arrow from her hiding place in the trees. She was so shaken and distracted by the pain in her leg that her arrow did not hit its target. Instead, the arrow just grazed the cheek of the infant in Sugi's arms. The baby started to cry. As her eyes filled with tears the red faded and Nyuuji's eyes turned black.
"Shhh...Nyuuji, hush," Sugi tried to comfort th infant.
Once Nyuuji's concentration was lost, Kagome's friends began to come out of their trances.
"What happened?" Sango asked.
"I don't know," Miroku mumbled as he stood up.
"Kagome, where are you?" Inuyasha yelled when he smelt her fresh blood.
"I'm right here," Kagome said as she jumped down from the trees. She stood behind Hime to hide her wardrobe malfunction.
"What’s going on?" Sango asked.
"She's one of the Hebi," Kagome pointed at Sugi.
Everyone turned their attention to Sugi and Nyuuji. Sugi had began humming a soft lullaby. The two of them were circled by white lights and blue and pink music notes. Nyuuji drifted off to sleep and Sugi stopped humming.
"You'll pay for that!" Sugi yelled before thrusting another energy ball at Kagome.
Inuyasha stepped in front of her and blocked the attack with the tetsuseiga. At the same time, Sango threw her weapon at Sugi. Hiraikotsu hit her and knocked her backwards into a tree. Once Sugi was on her feet, she sent multiple energy balls out at Inuyasha and the others. Sango used Hiraikotsu to protect herself and Shippo, who was standing behind her. Miroku protected himself and Kagome, who was now hiding behind a fully transformed Kirara, using his staff. Hime was able to dodge the blasts that come in her direction. Inuyasha used tetsuseiga to knock away energy balls as the flew at him. He slowly worked his way forward until there was nothing between him and Sugi.
"Windscar!" Inuyasha let loose his attack once he was close enough.
Sugi screamed and clutched Nyuuji to her chest. They were hit by the blast and disintegrated immediately. Nothing was left of them except a pile of ashes that was picked up and carried away by the wind.
Inuyasha turned to face Kagome, "Are you alright?"
"Yeah," Kagome nodded.
"No you're not," he replied, "you're bleeding."
"It's just a little cut," Kagome said.
"We'll rest here for a little while before we move on so you can bandage it up and rest," Inuyasha stated.
"I'll bandage it up, but then I want to keep going," Kagome said, "I don't need to rest."
Inuyasha glared at her, but decided they need to clean up her cut first, then they could argue about resting. Sango took Kagome's bag from her and started fishing around for the first aid kit. Kagome leaned back against a nearby tree to allow Sango to clean her cut for her. Sango had found the kit and gotten out the hydrogen peroxide. She put some on a cotton ball and dabbed the cut. Kagome yelped, making Inuyasha flinch. Kagome saw Inuyasha's reaction and remained calm while Sango finished. She didn't want Inuyasha to think she was hurt or to weak to continue. The cut did sting and she was exhausted, but Inuyasha is always getting hurt and wearing himself out, but he keeps going. She decided she would prove to him that she could to. Sango had finished cleaning the cut and had wrapped it with cloth bandages.
"Is it to tight Kagome?" Sango asked.
"No, its fine," Kagome replied.
"If you'd like, I have some extra clothes you could borrow," Hime offered.
"That would be great, thank you," Kagome blushed when she realized she was still just in her underwear. Her blush darkened when she realized that Miroku and Inuyasha were staring., "Sit boy!"
Sango reached over and hit Miroku for her.
"What did you do that for?" Inuyasha snapped.
"For staring at me!" Kagome yelled back.
"You can't blame him for looking Kagome, you are a magnificent specimen," Miroku attempted to compliment her, but wound up being knocked out by Sango.
"I wasn't looking!" Inuyasha defended.
Kagome ignored him and took the clothes Hime offered her. She went behind the tree she had been sitting against and changed. When she came out she was wearing a pair of straight-legged black pants and a purple top with a black butterfly design on the chest. Inuyasha decided he liked her better this way, in clothing from his era. It left much more to the imagination then her usual clothes. Although he didn't mind when she showed more skin, but he would rather the monk got to see less of her. Everyone was silent for a moment, still thinking about what happened. Shippo was the first to bring it up.
"I don't get it, what happened?" Shippo asked, "Where did they go?"
"Who?" Inuyasha asked.
"My parents," Shippo replied.
"It was an illusion," Sango said, a hint of sadness in her tone.
Kagome saw Shippo's eyes begin to fill with tears, so she picked him up and held him tightly to her chest.
"It was that baby," Kagome explained to the others, "I accidently shot it, and it got upset. I guess I distracted it and that’s why you guys woke-up."
"Why weren't you affected by it?" Miroku asked.
"I was at first, but then I heard Shippo and I realized he was in trouble. Somehow that woke me up," Kagome explained.
They were all silent a moment, their visions still fresh in their minds.
"Did you all see memories from your childhood then?" Miroku asked.
Sango nodded, "I saw my mother, when Kohaku was born. It was the day before she died, when we all sat together in her bed. It was the only time we were all together as a family."
Kagome wrapped her free arm around Sango to try and comfort her.
"I saw my father," Miroku shared, "We were playing with my favorite old ball. Its one of the fondest memories I have of him."
"I saw my brother's. It was the last time Taiken came back before you were born," HIme looked over at Kagome.
"I saw him to, at least I think it was him. It was the day I was born, the only time I've ever met him," Kagome said, "What about you Inuyasha?"
"I saw my mother," Inuyasha said and left it at that.
"Why would the demon place those memories in our head?" Sango wondered out loud.
"Because it makes us vulnerable. When you're a child you feel safe a protected. It caused us all to let our guard down," Miroku explained.
"The Hebi are masters of illusion. We'll probably encounter more tricker while we're in this forest," HIme stated.
"So basically, we can't trust anything we see with out own eyes," Sango added.
"Then lets get moving so we can find my father and get out of here sooner," Kagome suggested.
"Kagome, you need to rest," Inuyasha protested.
"I'm fine," Kagome replied.
"Fine, we'll keep going, but I'm carrying you," Inuyasha stated.
"Inuyasha I don't need you to carry me," Kagome tried to protest but the look in Inuyasha's eyes told her she wasn't going to win this one, "Fine, but only for a little while."
Kagome climbed onto Inuyasha's back and inhaled. She gave up on acting tough, this is really where she wanted to be anyways. She loved being close like this to Inuyasha, it made her feel safe.
"Kagome," Inuyasha whispered.
"Hmm?" Kagome mumbled.
"I'm sorry I didn't wake up sooner."
A/N: Sorry I didn't post this sooner. Two words: Guy Troubles...I'm sure every girl out there can relate and will forgive me. I hope you guys like this chapter and it helps explain the last two chapters. If you're wondering why Kagome woke up when she heard Shippo but Inuyasha couldn't hear her, its because she has a sort of mother-child relationship with him. I don't know if that makes sense or not, but it does to me. Sugi means past or after and Nyuuji means infant. I wanted to thank Tokugawa for helping edit my story. Please review and hopefully I will have new chapter for you guys soon.
