InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The hearts of Children! ❯ Frozen bonds ( Chapter 15 )

Chapter fifth teen: Frozen bonds.

~~Authoress notes: Grab ye pitchforks and torches, Kikyo in this chapter! Hey, no story can be good without her but don't worry she won't be in this story for long. Well this chapter is long like the pervious but none of them were as long as chapter twelve. I going to add a better summary at the beginning of chapter one later. Well here you new chapter but first…. ~~

D/c: I don't own Inuyasha. I find these disclaimer things annoying and useless for any baka with a brain would know that no one on this site could own it. We would be too busy getting the dead line for the mangas to be released and all that other stuff. Sigh.

[Chapter fifth teen starts]

Shippo woke up knowing they had slept a little too long. It was already high afternoon and the winds had picked up fiercely. No doubt about it now, it had to snow tomorrow. Shippo nudged the still slumbering Rin a few times before she woke up.

Rin: Hello Shippo-chan how are you today!

Shippo: Your funny. Come on we have to go back to the forest.

Rin: No! Rin doesn't want to go back to scary forest.

Shippo: It's not scary anymore the fire gone.

Rin: Are you going to come with Rin?

Shippo: Yeah of course! I can't go without you.

Rin: Okay let's go find Sesshomaru-sama and Kagome-chan.

Shippo: It doesn't matter who will find, they are important.

Rin: Oh yeah, Rin hopes we don't run into Kouga though.

Shippo: I hope we don't run into Inuyasha.

Rin: why?

Shippo: He's going to hit me on the head.

Rin: Why?

Shippo: Because I ran away from everyone and he's going to be mad at me.

Rin: Why? He should be happy and smile. Then give you a big hug.

Shippo: Yeah if Inuyasha ever hugged me I'm sure all hell would freeze over and Naraku would become a good guy. My poor head. I can't already picture it.

Rin: (taking Shippo's hands in hers.) I won't Inu-chan hit you on the head. I'll tell Sesshomaru-sama to hit him on the head.

Shippo: YAY! (Pictures Sesshomaru pounding Inuyasha on the head and Inuyasha having big lumps on his head.) I hope that does happens!

Rin: Let's go get rescued now! Rin doesn't want to be lost anymore.

Shippo: me too!

So, the kit and girl came out of the fox den and started walking hand and hand. They noticed how cold it had gotten and it was getting dark. Shippo thought it would be best if he left a trail of his screaming mushrooms so they wouldn't get too lost from that abandoned fox den. Rin hoped they would find one of the adults soon; she wanted to get warm again.

Shippo: I'm hungry Rin-chan. Let's find something to eat before we go on.

Rin: Rin is hungry too; let's get fish from big lake over there.

Shippo: Right.

[Inuyasha and co.]

Inuyasha and the others had crossed the lake and had found no clue on their lost cubs anywhere. Kouga and Kirara were clueless now on their scents. Too many animals and other things had ran by the same area. Kagome was now officially depressed and Sesshomaru was in an even more sulkier mood if possible. However, he kept his face stone cold of all emotions. It was getting dark again, it was going to snow tomorrow, and they have yet to find either Shippo or Rin anywhere. They had to stop however for a late lunch break.

Inuyasha: Damnit couldn't those two just stay with the rest of the fleeing animals?

Miroku: Then they would have been trampled on. Is that what you want?

Inuyasha: No but Shippo could have least used some of those mushrooms of his to lead the way to where he is.

Miroku: Point taken.

Sango: I think he was too excited to see Rin or too scared of the fire to be concerned about that.

Kagome: I'm just glad that they were hurt in the fire. I don't know what I would have done if anything happen to either of them. I didn't even notice Rin leave my side last night.

Miroku: yes now that you mention it, that been bugging me for a while. How is that Inuyasha, Kouga, or Sesshomaru wasn't able to sense Rin disappearance sooner?

Inuyasha: Maybe I would have if someone hadn't knocked me out and threw in a tree.

Sesshomaru: I should have killed you.

Inuyasha: Then why did you?

Sesshomaru: Unlike you I have honor for my race half-breed. I respect the pact I make.

Inuyasha: Honor my….

Kagome: Inuyasha Kouga trying to tell us something.

Sesshomaru: The wolf just said much of the same thing Inuyasha have said. It is nothing important.

Inuyasha: what about the part about….

Sesshomaru: Inuyasha I will not tell you to stay silence anymore I simply kill you.

Kagome: Sesshomaru-sama you promised not to kill him till we found Shippo.

Sesshomaru: Then say that word miko.

Kagome: What word.

Sesshomaru: The word you used to train him.

Inuyasha: Train me? What are you…Hey no! Don't listen to him Kagome!

Kagome: (Finally gets it) Oh, you mean Sit.

(Crash)

Sesshomaru: (smirk) Yes. That one. If you say when I tell you, too I promise he shall live long enough to see the Kit brought back.

Miroku: You can't add more stipulation like that! Just because…

Sesshomaru: Sango.

[Bam]

Sesshomaru: Yes I can monk.

Inuyasha: (peeved now) Sango! You two! How can you two make deals with this asshole behind our backs! I'm leader here!

Sango: If you two would stop acting like children and show some maturity we would have to. I don't even know what's Miroku's problem. Here's your brother not his. (Looking down at the fallen monk)

Kagome: This must be some macho competition.

Sango: I agree but the three of them need to quit. Come on Kagome let go take a walk or something. You two, Kirara. We need to clear our heads. (Starts walking off)

Kagome: Kay. (Follows after Sango)

As the three walked off leaving the guys behind. Miroku couldn't help but notice all those nice curves and other such things a hentai like him thinks about. Inuyasha was fuming, Kouga was muttering something under, and Sesshomaru was pondering on where on earth Rin could have run off to with that kitsune. The three other guys started sending death glares at the one and only Sesshomaru.

[Rin and Shippo]

Rin: Shippo-chan makes good fish! Much better than stupid Jaken-sama! He always burns them. Rin thinks he does it on purpose. (Starts taking another big bite)

Shippo: (chewing) Yeah maybe. (Swallows) Come on we have to start moving again before it gets dark.

Rin: Okay let's go Shippo-chan!

So the two kids went off away towards the now blacken and burnt forest. Nearly everything was covering in ash and soot. The two looked in awe on in silence it was way too creepy. Rin hugged onto Shippo who was shaking just like she was.

Rin: Shippo-chan are you scared like Rin is?

Shippo: No, I'm glad that we didn't get killed out here.

Rin: (Sniffing) Rin's cold and scared. Rin wants to go back to Sesshomaru-sama's castle.

Shippo: I want to be back with…. Look out. (Pushes Rin who falls down and rolls.)

Just in time, for a big tree was falling fast however Shippo had to use some of the demon strength to reply of the side of it however he bounced a little too hard. For he found him self near the lake. Thick clouds of ash and soot filled the surrounding area again. As the two children were once again separated by a giant tree.

Rin: Shippo-chan? (Coughing) Where are you Shippo-chan? Ewie! The clouds make it hurt for Rin to see. (Rubbing her eyes) Shippo-chan! (Sniffing) Rin lost him again.

[Kikyo!]

Kikyo had just saved a nearby small village found the mysterious fire that just happen. Also, from the stampede of animals, forest youkias, and other forest creatures that had fled the area. (A/n: when I say other forest creatures, I mean imps, fairies, and elves maybe?) Kikyo was looking for a base where she could steal some more souls. She didn't want to trouble herself on looking for a new village this new one had to be it. Winter was coming shortly and one could no travel for long in the snow. She soon came up to see a small girl in still in a summer kimono crying on a fallen burnt tree.

Kikyo: You there girl. What troubles you?

Rin: (not looking at her) Shippo-chan die. Got smashed by big dead tree. Rin's lost now.

Kikyo: He isn't dead. No one has yet to die around here. There are no souls around.

Rin: Good, but Rin is still lost. Has nowhere to go now. (Sniffing more)

Kikyo: (putting her cold dead hands on her) There, there come with me. I know a place where you can stay at.

Rin: (Looking at her now) Kagome-chan?

Kikyo: Kagome-chan?

Rin: You not Kagome-chan?

Kikyo: (remembers now) I'm not that girl who loafs around Inuyasha.

Rin: Oh, you know where Inuyasha is? (Bighting up)

Kikyo: Is Inuyasha around here?

Rin: Rin doesn't know. That's why Rin ask you.

Kikyo: (voice is cold now) hmm I see. So where did you last see him?

Rin: way over there! (Pointing far off near Sesshomaru-sama castle)

Kikyo: (voice is colder) yes and how is it that you know about that vile half-breed?

Rin: what does vile mean?

Kikyo: That matters not. Just answer the question.

Rin: He's Sesshomaru-sama's half brother. They kind of look a like. Inuyasha tried to beat up Sesshomaru-sama because he thought that Sesshomaru-sama killed Shippo-chan. Then Sesshomaru-sama, Jaken-sama, and Rin were ask to help look for Shippo-chan because he was lost. Then Inuyasha went to go beat go Kouga the wolf because wolf had Shippo-chan but he escaped and wolf got beat up many times because of that. Rin even beat up wolf and

Kikyo: (Doesn't care about all the details) That's nice, but when was the last time you saw Inuyasha?

Rin: Last night.

Kikyo: where again?

Rin: Over there hanging in a tree. (Pointing far off again)

Kikyo: Hanging in a tree?

Rin: Sesshomaru-sama had to beat him up and then he threw him in a tree! It was funny!

Kikyo: yes. Aren't you cold isn't Sesshomaru taking proper care of you?

Rin: Sesshomaru-sama takes perfect care of her! (Thinks) Rin is cold, but Rin has to look for Shippo-chan.

Kikyo: Who is this Shippo-chan for yours and Inuyasha.

Rin: He's a kitsune youkia. He's small like Rin only Rin a little bigger, and…

Kikyo: You could prove quite useful. You can help me find Inuyasha.

Rin: (stamps foot) No! Rin has to find Shippo-chan first!

Kikyo: Don't be rude I can help you. If you help me find that vile half-breed Inuyasha.

Rin: why you want Inuyasha?

Kikyo: My soul cannot rest until I have my full revenge on him and Naraku.

Rin: (knows who she is now) You're…. you the evil dead miko girl! You're Kikyo!

Kikyo: (kind of hurt) Is that what Inuyasha told you? Or was it that girl what's her name Kagome told you about me? She would have malice towards me, for she is just a copy.

Rin: Rin not telling you anything anymore! You bad you don't deserve Inuyasha! You tried to kill Kagome and take Inuyasha to hell! You steal dead people souls! You're evil! Rin not going to talk to evil dead miko lady no more! (Starts walking away)

Kikyo: how dare you talk to me in such a way! You don't know who I am!

Rin: Rin hates you! You stupid evil miko dead Kikyo psycho lady.

Kikyo: (peeved off now) Insolent child! Stop! I shall teach you some manners!

Kikyo had started calling her soul carriers a while ago. She had just planned on controlling Rin to lure out Inuyasha. Yet, now the child had got her a little more than peeve if that what Inuyasha and/or Kagome thought about her then this child was going to suffer the consequences for those ill words towards her. Rin was scared of the evil snake youkia looking things and started to run. Kikyo's aura was shooting off like crazy the dead psycho chick was peeved.

[Shippo]

Shippo had started to run again after getting some water. He knew that Rin was alright he just hoped that she had stayed put. They had finally found each other and just like that had lost each other once more. Stupid tree, he thought. That when he saw Kikyo's soul carriers flying around. He got scared and slowed down but then he noticed they were headed where he left Rin he started running faster. He had to protected her!

[Shippo, Rin, and Kikyo]

Rin: (crying) NO! Go away! Rin not helping evil dead lady! Why can't move!

Kikyo: (coming closer towards Rin with her index finger glowing blue) This should teach you to mind your manners.

Shippo: I don't think so! FOXFIRE! (Burns Kikyo hands with it)

Kikyo: Ow! Why you little kitsune! That was a foolish thing to do!

Shippo: Not as foolish as missing with my best friend. Or as foolish as thinking you can have Inuyasha back. He's Kagome's now!

Kikyo: WHAT!

Rin: Shippo-chan you saved Rin again!

Shippo: Yeah I know. I'm cool.

Rin: cool?

Shippo: I'll explain later.

Kikyo: Neither of you will be explaining anything later. (Aiming an arrow at them)

Shippo: Okay now we have to run! (Grabs Rin and takes off)

Rin: crazy dead miko lady scary!

Kikyo: There is no escape! DIE! You insolent child and wrenched kitsune cub! (Release arrow)

Shippo & Rin: AHHHHHHH! SOMEBODY HELLP US! WE DON'T WANT TO DIEEEE! WAAAAAH! (Crying and screaming continues)

Then out of nowhere before the arrow even reach the two……

(A/n: HA! HA! Got to stick around to find that out! NYA)

[Sango, Kagome, and Kirara] {Before the giant tree feel}

The girls were walking along talking about the guys while Kirara kept watch for anything that might pose a problem. It was day two of the search of Shippo and it had gotten them nowhere only a semi mute Kouga and a lost Rin.

Sango: I just don't know what has gotten into Miroku. Why is he always trying to starts fights with Sesshomaru? (Doesn't add the -Sama when his not around or not addressing him)

Kagome: I don't know. (Has long forgotten about what Sesshomaru had joked about)

Sango: I mean Inuyasha and Sesshomaru sill sibling rival is bad enough. Then it's Kouga and Inuyasha rivalry over you and (dryly) everything else. Then its all them of them plus Miroku. What is going on! We will never find Shippo or Rin if they keep it up.

Kagome: (sighing) Yes and Sesshomaru's cockiness isn't helping however we got to admit he is a lot more mature than the others and keeps everyone in order.

Sango: They all idiots one-way or the other. How Sesshomaru has that air about him and keeps finding little ways to trick off the others. Though if it keeps him from killing them then I guess we should be grateful.

Kagome: I agree. They are almost as worst the guys back in my era.

Sango: Oh and what are they like?

Kagome: Bigger idiots! (Giggles)

Sango: (giggles) I should have known. Let's head back! {When the tree was falling}

Kagome: Okay! Whoa! (Falls down!)

Sango: (also stumbles) An earthquake!

Kagome: Maybe. We have to go back. I'm worried about the guys!

[The guys] {Before the tree fell}

Sesshomaru was trying to stay calm though it was hard when you had a hanyou and a wolf growling and a monk trying to burn a hole through you head with his dirty glare. Plus you just lost your um Rin. That's what he couldn't figure out what was Rin to him. She was more than just a pet she was something. He just couldn't tell what and they weren't helping by staring and growling at him.

Sesshomaru: What? What are you all looking at?

Inuyasha: what other pacts have you made with Kagome and Sango?

Sesshomaru: That is none of your concern Inuyasha.

Inuyasha: The hell it is! This is my group.

Sesshomaru: Inuyasha I am warning you, you test my patience with you one more time and I can't promised I'll won't have you like the wolf.

Miroku: Sesshomaru, he's right he was our leader before you tried to take over.

Kouga: (growls in agreement and some crude remarks towards Sesshomaru)

Sesshomaru: wolf I would be quite if I were you. Let loose one more ill growl towards me and I'll pull out your voice box completely.

Inuyasha: What are you so uppity about? I don't see why you so mad about losing that brat of yours? She was just a pet to you. You can find some other human to replace her.

Sesshomaru: She wasn't a pet!

Inuyasha: Then what she? A trained monkey!

Sesshomaru: Inuyasha clearly you are….

Miroku: Don't tell me she is was like a ward or such to you. (Dryly) You told us many time you don't care for humans. Why is Rin any different?

Sesshomaru: (smirking) Are you really referring to Sango when you say that?

Miroku: (blushing) She isn't the topic at hand!

Inuyasha: yeah so answer the… What's that? (Trying to stay steady on his tree)

Sesshomaru: Sounds like a tree is falling, what used to be a evergreen at least.

Inuyasha: yeah so are you going to answer the question?

Sesshomaru: It isn't anyone business but my own.

Inuyasha: Your such an ass.

Sesshomaru: Excuse me? (Getting the evil eye)

Inuyasha: what? Are you becoming deaf because it's cold now too?

Miroku: (can't compete anymore) were you two like this as pups?

Inuyasha & Sesshomaru: That's none of you business monk!

Miroku: Okay sorry I asked.

Kouga: (growls something out that gets everyone expect Miroku attentions)

{When Kikyo is talking with Rin}

Inuyasha: What's what?

Sesshomaru: I see them. What are those things?

Inuyasha: (grasping) Kikyo's soul carriers!

Sesshomaru: Who's Kikyo?

Miroku: the woman that…

Inuyasha: (snarls at Miroku) That doesn't matter we have too find the girls.

Miroku: Right.

As on cue.

Kagome: Inuyasha! What happening?

Inuyasha: Umm…. (Gets all tongue tied cause Kagome looks worried)

Miroku: What he means is….

Sesshomaru: A tree had fallen earlier and now Kikyo soul carriers are around. Heading towards the destroyed part of the forest.

Kagome: Kikyo? Oh no, we have to get down there! Inuyasha?

Sango: He's gone already.

Inuyasha had already left them all. Kikyo? Why was she around? He had to find out. He could hear the other following him. He picked up speed no way was he going to let Sesshomaru learn about Kikyo, he would never live it down if Sesshomaru got wind of it. He kept the running until he smashed into a spirit shield that threw him back a few yards.

Kagome: Inuyasha! Why did you go running off like that?

Inuyasha: It doesn't matter there a shield around here.

Kagome: A shield?

Sango: what's…..

Sango words were cut off when a bright pinkish blue light blasted out from the shield and the group to dodged and take cover. What ever was happening it was strong enough to even bring Sesshomaru down for a few hours. The aura of it all was blasting away everything leaving nothing behind. Just as soon as it started it ended. Leaving the group baffled.

Inuyasha: what the hell was that?

Kagome: Kikyo wasn't the one who just did that.

Miroku: Then who can you tell Kagome?

Kagome: No.

Sango: Could it be Naraku?

Kagome: I can't sense any jewel shards.

Sesshomaru: Who ever did it must have killed that Kikyo person. I don't sense that aura anymore.

Inuyasha: (softly) Kikyo? (Gets up and starts running) It can't be true!

Sango: Hey wait Inuyasha it could be dangerous.

Kagome: Stop Sango! Let him go. I think he can handle it on his own.

Sesshomaru: Who is this Kikyo?

Miroku: Well….

[Chapter fifth teen ends]

~~~Authoress note: Whew wasn't that one of my best chapters or what? It was long too. I came up with another plot twist too! (Does a happy dance) Oh and Christmas is only two days away! I might be done with this fic by oh I think by New Years Eve or the day before that. I don't know. Leave me a review please. ~~~

[Chapter notes: Okay you may be wondering about Kikyo and why she attacked Rin. right? well I'm just to say Rin was attacked because of association. Have you ever heard of death by association? Well that's what was going on. Plus all the dead evil miko stuff that Rin was screaming. Kikyo didn't care about the fact that Rin was Sesshomaru's and not Inuyasha's. It was the simple fact that they were all tied together. Also, when Shippo said that Kagome had Inuyasha really made her go crazy. Well that enough on that psycho but I think I did a good job keeping her in character. She just so complex. I think she one of the most complex characters on the show.]

{Next chapter: What happen to Kikyo? Is Kikyo dead? Rin a miko too or did Shippo discover a new power? What will Inuyasha find? What? Has it started snowing already?

Will Kouga be able to talk in the next chapter? Is Jaken even alive? Does any one care if he is? All this and more coming soon!}
