Unexpected Love

 

While waiting for more people to show up the Inu gang and the Sessh group sat around the fire inside the hut. The children were playing outside with Jaken watching carefully. Kagera arrived shortly after Sesshomaru.

“So, how long have you two known each other?” Inuyasha asked glaring at Soun Yee with distrust.

“A few months, not too long.” Sesshomaru answered taking a small sip of his tea.

“I was talking to HER you numbskull!”

“Inuyasha don't be rude.”

“It's alright Kagome. We've seen worse behavior than he can ever do.” Soun Yee said setting her cup down. She then noticed that Kagera too was starring at her with great suspicion.

“You know Soun Yee, I can't get over the feeling that we've meet before somewhere.”

“Really? You'd be surprised.” She suddenly goosed up and smacked the back of Miroku's head so hard he nearly crashed through the opposite wall.

Smack! Crash! Bang!

Everyone (including Sesshomaru) starred at the monk for an odd moment.

“Ooowww.” He managed to whimper slightly rubbing his head to dull the pain. But to no avail.

Inuyasha starred in awe, “Wow.”

“I'm beginning to like her.” Sango said impressed by how Soun Yee handled the lecher.

“Admittingly that kind of behavior I haven't dealt with before. Most men rather thought first before touching.”

Kagome tried to get down to business, “So eh what's your reason for killing Naraku?” she asked looking at Soun Yee.

“Should there be a reason?”

“No. Not really. It's just that Miroku has his wind tunnel curse to break, Sango wants to avenge her family, and Kagera wants to be free from his control.”

Soun Yee looked around the room to see the look in everyone's eyes. She saw the weariness and longings each person had. The strains they went through to get as far as they've gone. “Indeed. I can't say what's Sesshomaru's reasons are; but for me, you can say this Naraku has taken something very precious to me, and destroyed it.”

Shippo and Rin suddenly ran into the hut with look of panic on their faces. Shippo hid himself in Kagome's hair while Rin raced behind Sesshomaru and Soun Yee.

“What's going on Shippo/Rin?” nearly everyone asked the kids.

Shippo pointed to the door still trembling, “It's Naraku's insects. They're coming!”

Immediately everyone rushed outside to see that they were right. In the sky were hundred and thousands of the demonic bees along with a herd of demons behind them.

“Darn it! And I thought this was going to be a quite meeting.” Inuyasha said pulling out the Tetsaiga.

“Wait Inuyasha, look.” Miroku called out to stop him from attacking directly.

“What now?!” the hanyou grunted and turn to the demons. Apparently the swarms of serpent-like demons were halted mile high but the insects passed through without trouble.

“The sutras must be holding the demons back.” Kagome observed retracting her arrow. “But the insects could still go through.”

Kagera opened her fan in front of her, “It's no surprise. Naraku's insects the Syan Yo Sho have no will of their own or a sense of judgment, so they could pass the barrier very easily. All they know is to follow orders.”

“Well, we got time to kill. Might as well start with these pests.” Sesshomaru said shifting his eyes toward Soun Yee. She turned her toward him and grinned.

“Hey that was MY line!” Inuyasha shouted and swung a windscar at the insects.

Sango shoved the monk back into the hut, “You better stay inside Miroku. You too Soun Yee…. Soun Yee?”

The woman Soun Yee just stood next to Sesshomaru. She was perfectly calm and steady.

“Soun Yee its best you get inside.” Sango said again reaching out for her hand, but she refused. “There's no need to worry about me. I'll be fine right here.” the woman stepped to the other side of the clearing while the demons remained on the other.

 

The first was of insects was easily destroyed by both the brothers along with Kagera. Half of the second wave perished by Sango's boomerang. The force when catching the large weapon tossed her halfway back to the hut leaving Soun Yee in the open.

“Soun Yee run!” the demon slayer shouted.

The woman gazed at the hideous bugs for a slight moment, “Humph, all this for a bunch of bugs? Oh well.” she reached into her kimono and pulled out a vile. Opening the cork she poured a little of the contents in her hand and toss it high in the air. The reddish liquid formed a thin cloud over the Syan Yo Sho. The hell bugs began to scream as they dissolved in the smoke. Soun Yee threw off the kimono to revel a dark blue training outfit (Much like Sango's). She drew her sword slashing the surviving insects that got through the cloud.

But as soon as the cloud dispersed a surprise wave of insects charged toward her. “Aahh!” She was close to being killed when something grabbed her up and raced out of the way. She stopped as quickly as she started and saw she was in the arms of a tall handsome man wearing wolf fur and black armor.

“Hey Koga! Nice catch!” Shippo yelled from the window of the hut.

The stranger looked at her as she forces herself out of his grasp, “Whoever you are, thank you.”

Koga grinned and placed his hand on her shoulders, “You know a pretty lady like you shouldn't be out alone with this many demons around.”

Soun Yee peeked over the wolf demon's shoulder to see another wave of the Syan Yo Sho heading their way. Immediately she reached over behind him, grabbed his tail, and swung him out of the way, “And I'd watch my back if I were you.” She threw short a curved blade again whipping out all the insects in front of her.

Inuyasha and Sesshomaru slashed the remaining bugs on their side and starred at her in amusement.

Inuyasha: “Wow, she's pretty strong for a human.”

Sesshomaru: “At least she's more useful than your mate.”

The hanyou growled back at him, resisting the urge to slice him to bits. “She's NOT my mate!”

Koga on the other hand climbed to his feet and clasped Soun Yee hands together in his own, “That was very impressive my lady, I've never had anyone grasp my tail with such a strength as yours.”

Kagome watched him from behind the doorway of the hut, “So much for him being in love with me.”

The wolf demon gazed deep into her eyes making Soun Yee slightly uncomfortable, “You know if things don't work out between Kagome and I how about we go for a run through the meadow?” he soon felt Inuyasha pulling on his ponytail from behind. “Grrr what now mutt? Can't you see I'm busy here?”

“As much as I love to not see you with Kagome AND get hacked to bits you SHOULD stop flirting with that woman.”

Koga glared at him annoyed, “What are you talking about? Why should I?”

Inuyasha then pointed slightly to Sesshomaru, “See that full blown demon over there?”

“Yeah?”

“Well that's Sesshomaru and that is probably his favorite servant you're hitting on.”

His eyes widened as he looked back to the other demon and got nerves when he saw a glowing green acid drip from Sesshomaru's hand to the ground, burning the dirt and rock that came in contact.

Koga slightly jumped in fear and backed away from Soun Yee, “Excuse me for my behavior. See yeah.” He then ran straight to Kagome. “Hey Kagome how're you doing?”

She glared at the mangy wolf, “What was that about back there?”

Koga: (puppy face) “I'm sorry.”

Kagome: “Whatever. So where's Kikyo? I thought she was with you.”

“She was but she had to take care of some things in a nearby village.”

 

“So you're from the Sadtogawha village?” Miroku asked when everyone had returned to the meeting hut. Inuyasha and Koga were fighting again over Kagome, Rin and Shippo were chowing down on some dumplings, and Sango and Kagera were keeping mostly to themselves.

Soun Ye nodded answering the monk's question, “Yes, for a time.”

Sango: “What?! THE Sadtogawha?!”

Kagome: “What's so big about it?”

Miroku closed his eyes trying to remember, “I never been there myself, but it's really a small village that had gained a reputation almost as famous as the Demon Exterminators. It had probably the most fertile soils and waterbeds of all Japan.”

Soun Yee suddenly felt something biting at her neck and she smacked it. When she drew her hand away and groaning spec floated down to the floor.

Everyone (excluding Sesshomaru, Soun Yee, Rin, and Kagera): “Meoga?!”

The flea reinflated to his normal shape, “Sorry I'm late.”

Inuyasha grabbed up the flea demon and help him close his face, “Like you're going to be of any help to us anyway.”

Meoga hopped free and jumped to Kagome's shoulder, “The monk is right about the Sadtogawha village.”

Sango: “You were there?”

Meoga: “Yes. The people of the village planted huge fields and orchards and enhanced the technique of preserving large amounts of food, not to mention the best in quality. But they soon had more than they could handle. So the people started to trade much of the harvests to others villages for tools, silks and other supplies. But because the people lived in such a peaceful lifestyle it had no way to defend itself from attack.”

Miroku took the story on from there, “He's right, for that the administrators at the capital declared that the Sadtogawha village be a neutral town, protected from the wars and swear no allegiance to any lord . They thought that that village would be the key survive the long spans of famine in other cities.”

Kagome: “So what happened to it?”

Meoga: “No one knows. Nearly ten years ago the people abandoned the village and was found burned to the ground. The remains of it are only a few miles from here.”

Kagome looked over to Soun Yee who was quiet throughout the story, “Was that true?”

“Yes.”

“It must have been rough?”
Soun Yee finished her tea and smiled at the girl, “Acutely it wasn't. It was around the same time Sesshomaru and I first met.”
