~Ryo’s Awakening~
“What are you talking about Kaede?” I asked, watching the old priestess point at Katina and Ryo.
“I mean as I say child. The two standing here are of the dragon dogs.” She said. “Surely you can sense a kindred spirit in them.” She added looking my way.
“I sensed a need to help them. I had assumed that it was due to it being the right thing to do.” I answered, feeling my eyes widen. “How do you know they are of the Ryu-Inu clan?”
“It was I that charmed the pendants that hold the key to their suppression spells,” She stated then gave a small smile. “And yours as well.”
“What?!” Kagome gasped out, voicing my own thoughts.
I looked down at the silver pendant that was wrapped around my neck. I had found my human mother’s old locket and put the pendant on the same chain, so I could have something from each of my parents, human and demon.
“It was back when I was a young girl, when Kikyo was alive. A few from the Ryu-Inu clan came by to have three pendants charmed. They never said why. They ask that it be done in secret and paid very well for them. We’d never heard of any wrong doings by the dragon dogs and felt it safe to do as they asked.” Kaede said looking about the room at each of us as she spoke. “The charms on any given pendant will not last longer than two decades, and the dragon dogs would return every decade to have the spells renewed.” Kaede said going to a wall and removing a board and pulling out three scrolls. “I can sense the spells on you two now.”
“So that means you know how to break the spells?” Ryo asked.
“Aye, these three scrolls contain each pendants renewing and breaking spell. Since Kagome broke Kazuko’s, we will only need two scrolls.” Kaede said throwing one of the scrolls into the fire. “This spell is one that has been passed down through my family and is not to be shared for fear of it falling into the wrong hands, thus they must be destroyed after having served their purpose.” She explained, most likely in response to our confused expressions. “As the reincarnation of my sister, Kagome, one day I shall teach you the secrets to it.”
“Ok so what needs to be done?” I asked, looking at the two scrolls she held.
“Unlike most other spells, this one only requires the scroll and enough spiritual energy to release the spell. Thankfully Kagome and Miroku are here. In my old age I no longer have the spiritual energy to break both spells.” Kaede said unrolling the scrolls.
She pulled out two cots and placed them on opposite sides of the hut, and then placed a scroll by each cot.
“Tell us what to do Lady Kaede.” Katina said, finally getting her voice back. It was clear that she was a bit tense about this, but at least she was willing to try.
“Each of you is to lie on the cots.” She said pointing to Ryo and Katina. “Kagome you will break her spell and Miroku will break his.” Kaede said and watched as the two newcomers took their spots on the cots. “Now I will warn you that this spell requires a vast amount of spiritual energy, and like with Kazuko’s it will take quite some time to break.”
“How long are we talking?” I asked, still standing by the door.
As much as I disliked the thought, I needed to get back to the western castle. At the very least, I had to get Shippo. I knew Sesshomaru wouldn’t stoop so low as to harm an innocent child, but who knew what could happen if his inner demon was in control.
“At least half a day.” Kaede said and I sighed.
‘So should everything go fine they won’t be done until nightfall.” I thought.
“Now Miroku and Kagome you are to place one hand in the middle of the circle on the scroll and the other over them.” Kaede instructed and waited for them to do so. “Now imagine your body as a channel and channel the spell from the scrolls to the pendants that are within their bodies. You will be able to sense the pendants.”
“I can sense it.” Kagome said with a light smile.
It was a few minutes before Miroku answered.
“I feel it as well.” He said with a bit of a strain.
“Good now focus on pulling the pendants out, but you must not remove your hand from the scroll. Should you remove your hand from the scroll; the entire spell could backfire and leave the two as humans for life or even kill them depending on how far into the spell you are.” She said and I felt myself tense.
Both Miroku and Kagome nodded.
“We’ll make sure they make it through fine.” Kagome assured looking at me.
“There is one last thing. Half way through the spell their demon blood will begin to leak out of the pendant and the spiritual energy will react with it. I will not lie, it will be painful, but you must not stop, no matter what amount of pain you feel coming from them. We’ll do our best to keep the dragon dogs restrained.” Kaede added. “Now begin.”
“Are you guys ready?” Kagome asked a little concerned after hearing the last part of Kaede’s instructions.
“Yes.” Ryo said confidently.
I could see in his eyes that he truly wanted this.
“Yes.” Katina said quietly.
I could see Miroku and Kagome close their eyes in concentration and felt the hut begin to fill with spiritual energy.
The high intensity of the spiritual energy began to burn as it brushed against my demonic aura and I had to leave the hut.
It wasn’t until I was almost a mile away from the hut that the burning subsided.
Inuyasha was perched in his tree and looked down at me as I sat at its base.
“What the hell was that about? Are they trying to purify everyone?” He growled. Before I could answer I saw Kilala descend with Sango on her back.
“What’s going on? We suddenly felt spiritual energy flare so strong that Kilala couldn’t stay near the hut.” Sango said as she jumped off and Kilala returned to her smaller size.
“We found out that Katina and Ryo are Ryu-Inus and they have the same suppression spell on them that I had.” I said, still looking towards the hut. “Miroku and Kagome are working on breaking the spells. Kaede said it will take half a day at the least.”
“Wow, and we thought the whole clan was wiped out.” Sango said.
It was clear from the way that she watched me that she was trying to read my emotions.
At the moment my emotions were too conflicted for even me to figure out. I knew I should be happy at finding more of my clan, but for some reason I just couldn’t fully get myself to feel the excitement.
“Great, more flying mutts to bother me.” Inuyasha mumbled. I raised my staff up so that the tip just brushed against his leg. “What?” He asked looking down.
I didn’t say anything and let a huge amount of electricity flow through the staff and into his body. He fell from the tree with a startled yell.
“I think you may have over done it that time.” Sango said as we looked down at the seemingly unconscious half-demon.
“Yea, I think you’re right.” I responded with a smirk.
We sat for a while; Sango polishing her weapons, and me poking Inuyasha.
“What have ye done to Inuyasha?” We both turned to see Kaede heading towards us and stood to greet her.
“Nothing much, just showing him my abilities.” I responded with as innocent a look as I could muster without laughing.
“I see. Sorry I didn’t tell ye about the spiritual barrier that arose with the spell. When the spells are being broken both the demon and the one breaking the spell are in a weakened state, so a barrier is put up to protect them.” Kaede stated.
“Oh no problem, I just almost got purified out of existence. It’s no big deal really.” I scoffed.
“I’ve come to ask that Sango assist me in looking after the four since she is the only other one who can enter the barrier. I will especially need help for when their demon blood kicks in.”
“I’d be honored to help Lady Kaede.” Sango said with a slight bow.
“What do we do then?” I asked, poking Inuyasha with my staff to see if he was still breathing.
“Stop poking me you mutt.” Inuyasha said from where he lay on the ground.
So he wasn’t unconscious; he was just face down and paralyzed.
“The only thing ye can do is wait here and make sure no stray demons come by.” Kaede said.
“Easy enough I suppose.” I responded.
The old priestess fixed her eyes on me with a stern expression. “I know ye instincts will call for you to come when you sense their pain. Dragon dogs are very loyal and protecting of their packs, even more so than other canines. This will be heightened by your knowledge of them being the only ones of your pack left, but ye must not come. It will only lead to trouble.” She said and I felt like a child being lectured.
I resisted the urge to roll my eyes and nodded.
“I’m sure Kilala and Inuyasha will ensure that nothing of the sort happens.” Sango said and the two of them headed back to the hut.
“Inuyasha can’t even move.” I mumbled when they were out of view.
“Shut up.” I heard the half demon growl.
‘He may not be able to, but I can young one.’ Kilala mewed from where she’d jumped on my shoulder.
“Don’t worry Kilala; I know how fierce you can be.” I said with a smile. “Unlike a certain half demon I could name.” I added.
I hadn’t noticed that Inuyasha had apparently gotten control of his arms back until I felt his hand grab my ankle and pull it from under me so that I fell beside him.
“You’re a childish ass.” I grumbled dusting off my clothing and getting back up. Despite my annoyed statement, I couldn’t resist a small smile.
Inuyasha didn’t say anything in response but I could hear him chuckle as he turned himself over onto his back.
‘You’re both children in my view.’ Kilala mewed shaking her head.
~Ryo~
“Where am I?” I wondered as I looked around me.
There wasn’t anything solid beneath my feet and I got the feeling that I was floating. I was surrounded by white mist, almost as if I were in the middle of a cloud.
“Ah, my son! You are a bit early, but I do not mind.” I heard a gruff voice say.
“Who’s there?” I asked putting myself in the best defensive position I could while floating.
A booming chuckle sounded from the voice and I could slowly see a figure coming into view. As he walked it seemed as if things were changing around me.
“I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised. The last I saw of you, was when you were only five years old, too young to remember much.” The voice said and I squinted to see who it was coming from.
The man who stood before me was clearly a demon.
With each step he took more and more things became visible around me, and I could feel solid ground form beneath my feet. I could see what looked to be a village forming around him and myself.
The demon standing before me was my height, if not an inch or so taller. He had silver hair that came just below his shoulders and was tied in a high ponytail like a general’s. His eyes were a hard steely grey that showed he knew battle and knew it well, but underneath the hardness there was a softness that I could just barely make out. I absently noticed that we shared similar facial features.
He was dressed simple. He had a on a pair of black hakama pants and a golden breastplate. Around his neck I could see a golden pendant that held a dog’s paw print with a dragon wrapped around it. It was the same symbol I remembered Kazuko having on her silver pendant.
On his wrist I could make out two dragon tattoos wrapped around them, similar in design to the one wrapped around Misaki’s waist. The dragon on the right was brown and the one on the left was blue.
“You have yet to answer my question. Who are you?” I asked again, dropping my stance.
“Ah so you did. My name is Ryu, and I am your father.” The demon said grinning.
“My…father…” The only thing I could do was to repeat him. “So I am a demon?” I questioned silently.
Of course Kazuko and the old priestess Kaede had said they suspected as much, but to hear a demon announce that he was my father left no room for speculation.
“Indeed you are, and a fine one at that.” The demon…my father said. “We Ryu-Inu are the most powerful of demons if I do say so myself.” He added puffing his chest a bit with a silly grin. It was clear that he had a big ego, though it wasn’t a malicious one like Lord Toro’s and his followers.
“Where are we?” I asked, his almost childish behavior amusing me.
“Our home.” He answered sweeping his arm around the area. As he did the rest of the village solidified around us. “Or what it was before the attack.” He added sadly.
I could see shadowy figures of people walking about the village. They seemed completely unaware of us and I realized they were when one demoness walked straight through me.
“This is an illusion.” I stated, looking from the villagers back to my father.
“Sadly, yes. This is the village on the day that we had to seal your, Katina and Misaki’s powers. It is this night that the east would lay waste to our clan. The suppression spell allowed me to put some of my demonic aura in it to show you anything of my choosing, but my time is limited. I figured this was the most important thing to show you.” He said and began walking towards a large castle that was settled in the back of the village.
I was going to ask him who Misaki was, but as he walked away I figured I could wait until later.
I followed him and watched the villagers as I went. After having been at the east for so long and being abused by demons, I assumed them to all be heartless monsters. Yet as I walked they seemed no different than humans other than in appearance.
Like in human villages, I could see children running about playing games like tag. Only here the children could fly, freeze others, move the earth, summon water, and electrocute others. Though these differences were present, it was clear that they were still just as innocent in their game as human children.
I could see older demons sitting around telling stories of old days. I guessed that for a demon to look old they had to have been around for a very long time.
Mothers were carrying infants and chatting with each other, as men boasted about how promising their children looked to be.
I even stopped to observe what looked to be a lesson house.
There was one adult in the front and a group of ten or so children sitting and watching.
“Ok so who can tell me the five basic elements?” The adult asked. Every student raised their hands and a chorus of “ooh me” and “pick me” could be heard.
“Yes, Dai.” The adult said pointing to a boy in the back. A couple of disappointed grumbles could be heard.
“Fire, water, earth, electricity, and air.” The boy said
“Very good. If you all keep it up you’ll be ready to move up to weapons training.” The teacher said.
Cheers could be heard as I continued walking once I saw that my father had gotten ahead of me.
It all seemed so…human.
“Here we are the castle.” My father said interrupting my thoughts.
We passed through the door and up the stairs to a small dimly lit room.
“Watch.” My father whispered as we moved to stand beside a cot.
The door slid open revealing my father, or what used to be him in this vision of the past dressed as he was now. “Lady Mia it is nice to see that you and the future heir have made it out of labor safely.” He stated coming in.
On the cot sat a beautiful demoness that looked no older than twenty. She held a tiny bundle in her hands that cooed softly.
“Yes, it was a hard labor, but we are happy that it is over.” An older demon was sitting beside the bed, with a demoness sitting beside him. He spoke with a voice that showed his age.
“Lord and lady.” The past version of my father said and bowed.
“General Ryu, I assume you are here to introduce yourself and your son to the new heir.” The older demoness said, standing to greet my father with a hug. “Come on in Ryo.” She said quietly and I squinted to see a smaller figure entering the room.
My eyes widened as I saw the child that entered.
He was no bigger than a human toddler, but he was walking without faltering.
The child had silver hair like my father that stopped at his shoulders, but his eyes were a dark violet. He wore a small pair of white hakama pants and a red sleeveless shirt. The child held a small bear and seemed unsure as he walked in.
“Don’t be shy young Ryo. Come meet your cousin Misaki.” The older demoness said taking the child’s free hand and leading him to the younger demoness.
“I brought her a bear because mama said babies like soft things. This used to be my bear, but papa said that I’m too old for it now.” The child’s voice was quiet as he held up the bear.
“That’s very nice of you Ryo. I’m sure she will love it.” The younger demoness said.
“Can I see her?” The child asked.
“Of course.” Mia replied and turned the infant slightly so that it could be seen.
The infant had the same violet eyes, hair and markings that Kazuko had.
“She’s very beautiful.” My father stated. “My brother would be proud of her. She has our mother’s eyes, just like Ryo. But that hair is unlike any I’ve seen before.”
“Ryo, I would like to speak with you.” The older demon stated standing and walking to a small chest that was on a table across the room. “Here are two of the pendants. The one for Misaki will be retrieved later tonight.”
“Two pendants? Who is the other for?” My father asked coming to look over the pendants.
“An infant named Katina that was born the same day, only a year prior, as Misaki. We needed two others that were born the same day as Misaki and luckily your son shares her birth date.” The older demon answered then continued to answer the question that was on my mind. “The spell will wear off in exactly two decades when the wearer’s birth date arrives and transport them back to the front of the castle. Having three that share the same birth date will ensure that they all arrive at the same time.”
“It is a heavy burden to see my son robbed of his true nature, but if it ensures his survival I am willing to allow it.” My father whispered picking up one of the pendants. “Katina, that’s the name of the infant born to the mages Kio and Tia?” He added in a louder tone.
“Indeed, they are of a powerful mage bloodline that is among the strongest in the clan.” The older demon answered.
I could see the child making faces at the infant, who cooed in response; both were clearly unaware of what was going on.
“Will she start lessons next moon cycle too?” The child asked the younger demoness.
“Of course not, she’s just an infant.” The older demoness said with a smile. “Just like you, she will have to wait until she reaches her fifth life celebration.”
“Oh.” The child said then went back to playing.
My attention was brought back to my father and the older demon as they continued to talk.
“You are to place the spell when he falls asleep. From our reports the east should arrive by tomorrow at midday. We must hide the three by then.” The older demon said his expression stern but it held a heavy trace of sadness. “The west is sending their army to aid us, and should arrive by tomorrow morning. I hope that with their help we can save the clan and all of this will be unneeded, but we will hide the children until we are sure the war is over.”
“I understand.” My father said going back over to the others by the cot. “Say goodbye Ryo, we must get home. Your mother should be home soon, and we don’t want her to drown me for not having you washed up for dinner.”
“Ok papa, bye everyone, bye Misaki.” The child said waving and following my father out of the room.
We followed them as they left the castle and headed to what looked to be the training grounds and a lone hut that sat across from it.
It made sense that the general would live near the castle, especially if the general was related to the royal family.
I watched as my father helped the child cleanup and get the dirt off of his skin and clothing.
“There, I think you look supper ready. Don’t you think so Ryo?” My father asked removing his breastplate and putting on a yellow sleeveless shirt.
“Yes papa.” The child answered looking over a pair of blades that hung on the wall.
The blades were magnificent to say the least. Both were one edged, each about a forearm’s length. The hilts were wrapped in black cloth. The only flaw being that the blades seemed dull. They almost looked too worn out to fight with.
“Don’t let your mama catch you looking at these, she’ll have my head.” My father joked picking up the swords.
A light gasp escaped me as I watched the blades changed.
As soon as they were firmly in my father’s hands they changed. Both grew to an entire arm’s length in size and sharpened to a deadly degree. The one in his right hand turned brown and seemed to be surrounded by sand-like material. The one in his left hand turned blue and I could see waves ripple around it as if it were covered in a layer of water.
“One day these will be yours.” My father said reaching to put them back up.
“General Ryu! General Ryu!” A voice shouted and a demon came running in. He was dressed for battle with a similar breastplate as my father’s, only his was black.
“Nyo, what are you doing around here? Your mate’s cooking having you running again?” My father asked with a chuckle.
“You must gather get to the castle quickly. It’s the east! Our scouts have spotted them less than a mile away!” The young soldier gasped as he left the hut, most likely to go alert others.
“No.” My father whispered as he threw his breastplate back on over his shirt.
He quickly scooped up the child while grabbing his swords and rushed back to the castle.
“Ryu!” The young demoness from before was standing just within the gates. She still held the infant from before and now had a second infant in her arms and a large beast standing beside her.
It looked to be canine, except for the dark red scales that lined its back and the scaly wings protruding from its shoulders. The rest of its body was covered in black fur. Its claws were the size of daggers and saber-sized fangs protruded from its mouth. Two dark red horns protruded from its skull just above its ears. Its yellow eyes looked intelligent despite the creature’s beastly appearance.
I vaguely remembered seeing similar beast walking through the village and around the castle.
“I’ve heard, Mia, we must move quickly.” My father said leading the way out.
I watched as the demoness got upon the back of the beast and they followed.
“Papa, what is going on?” The child asked from my father’s arms.
“I cannot explain now Ryo. Please, just keep your head down.” The child gave soft whimpers but followed as instructed.
They fled to just outside of the village away from the cries and shouts of the villagers defending their homes. The sounds of war could be heard clearly even from this distance.
“Here, she is the other infant, Katina, and I have her pendant. I must go get Misaki’s pendant. Please place the spells on these two and then take them to the village as planned.” Mia said handing over the other infant and the pendant. Once my father nodded the beast took to the skies and headed south with the princess on its back.
I finally got a good look at the other infant. She had shadowy black hair that was barely visible in the dimming light of sunset. Her eyes, that were barely open, were a color silver I had never seen before.
“Ryo I need you to stay right here and don’t move.” My father said putting the child down. The child nodded, watching intently what his father was doing.
My father placed the pendant just above the infant’s chest and applied a little force. The infant began to cry as the pendant and infant glowed.
Her hair began to fade to a dull dark brown and her eyes turned black. The little fangs dulled to human teeth and the claws that gripped her blanket turned into fingernails. The transformation completed as the pendant completely entered her body and the glowing went away.
“Papa what is going on?” The child trembled as he watched the transformation, gripping his father’s pants. “I am scared.”
“I wish I had more time to explain, but for now you must trust me. I am sealing away your demon blood and your memories, so that you may blend in with the humans. A time will come when the spell will break and you will return here to help our clan.” My father said grabbing the other pendant.
“But I don’t want to leave you and mama.” The child cried, tightening his grip on his father’s clothing.
“I know son, but you must. It is for your own good, and the good of the clan. Just remember that your mother and I love you very much.” My father said, and I could see a tear slid down his cheek. He took the child in a tight embrace before releasing. “Now please be a good boy and lay down so that I can do this.”
The child’s eyes were flowing with tears, but he did as his father said.
My father wiped his eyes and began to do the same as he had done with the infant.
The child cried as his own demonic powers were sealed. His silver hair turned black and his dark violet eyes turned brown; his claws and fangs disappeared.
I watched in awe as the child went from an unfamiliar demon to a smaller version of me.
“Hey, I think I heard some trying to escape over here.” A voice called into the darkness as the sun had gone down by the time the spell was complete.
“Let’s get them. Remember Lord Rai said no survivors.” A second voice said followed by a roar of a group of demons coming towards my father.
“Who are you?” The smaller me asked looking around in confusion.
“I cannot explain. Take the infant and run south, there is a village with a priestess named Kaede she will take you in.” My father instructed the little me.
The younger me was too scared to say anything and nodded. He picked up the infant and began running south.
“Hey I see something running.” A bull demon said coming into view from the surrounding trees.
“I’ll get it.” What looked to be a black fox said only to be cut down.
“You will not lay a hand on the children.” My father said taking a battle stance. Ten more bulls and foxes came from the surroundings.
“Look what we have here, a poor mutt away from home.” One fox joked as they prepared their weapons.
“Well we’ll just have to help him get home…in pieces.” Another bull said as they charged.
The illusion faded away as I watched my father hold his own against the bulls. I did not get to see how it ended, but I could guess.
“You died protecting us.” I said looking towards my father. His face was firm but held hints of sadness.
“And I’d do it again to ensure that you got to live.” My father said.
“They caught us.” I mumbled.
“I know, I tried, but a few of the bastards slipped past me.” He responded with a light growl.
“Thank you.” I said after a few moments of silence.
“There is no need. You are my son; I did what any father would have done for his child.” He responded pulling me into an embrace. “Now that you know the truth you will be fine. Keep an eye on Misaki and Katina, you are the oldest. I was able to send my swords away, they are a family heirloom and I want you to have them. You will find them in the western castle; your pendant will be enough proof to get you in.” My father said and I could see his form begin to fade.
“Wait, what of my mother?!” I shouted, not wishing for him to go.
“She was the one sent to retrieve the third pendant. She met up with Princess Mia and gave her Misaki’s pendant.” He said. “Remember, we love you and we’re proud of you. It’s up to the three of you to avenge our clan.”
“But how can we do that? The east is still as strong, if not stronger than they were then. How can three of us do what an entire clan couldn’t?” I questioned, the sense of responsibility overwhelming my mind.
“Go north, the Ryu-Okami clan will be able to help you train and the northern lord already knows of the arrangements. The plan had been for a member of the Ryu-Okami clan to meet you on the day that your pendants unlocked your true blood.” He added as the last of him faded away.
I could feel tears streaming down my cheeks as I watched his form fade away completely.
I didn’t have long to think over his leaving as I feel an immense pain, starting from my chest and spreading throughout my entire body.
It felt as if my body were on fire and being electrocuted. I watched as my fingernails sharped into claws and could feel my teeth shifting to fangs. A few strands of hair that fell into my face went from black to silver and I could guess my eyes were going dark violet as well.
I could just barely make out two dragon tattoos forming on my wrist, one yellow and one red.
My mind went numb from the pain.
~Kazuko~
A loud snarl ripped through the forest from the direction of the village and both Inuyasha and I stood in response.
We had been sitting at the base of the tree talking about what had happened since I left the group. Inuyasha wasn’t so bad to hang around now that he wasn’t constantly suspecting me of spying.
Night had already fallen and I was beginning to consider going to the western castle alone then returning.
Pack in trouble. We must go help. My inner demon said fighting for control and trying to head back to Kaede’s hut.
‘They’re fine, Kaede said so.’ I growled in my head trying to fight down my demon, a fight I was losing.
They are in danger! My beast snarled. I could feel my body shifting into my smaller true form.
Kilala was in front of me immediately in her battle form.
‘No Kazuko, you know you cannot go.’ She warned in a yowl. ‘I do not wish to fight you, but I will if I must.’
‘I must defend my pack.’ My beast growled using my mouth. ‘They are all I have left.’
‘I cannot let you pass.’ Kilala growled crouching into a ready position.
‘Then I will take you down.’ My beast barked in response and crouched.
‘Then you leave me no choice.’ Kilala snarled.
“Don’t you even think about it Kazuko. I don’t know what you’re saying but don’t think I’m letting you go back to the hut.” Inuyasha said drawing his sword.
Without responding to either I leapt for Kilala.
She reared up to meet my attack.
With my demon in control and using my full power it didn’t take long to knock the neko over.
I watched in horror as I saw my fangs lower towards her neck.
‘Inuyasha do something!’ I mentally shouted as all I could do was watch.
“Oh no you don’t!” I heard Inuyasha shout and felt a hard weight slam into my side, knocking me off of the feline.
Kilala was up immediately and standing beside Inuyasha.
“Distract her Kilala.” I heard Inuyasha whisper.
The fire cat leapt at me and nipped my front paw before jumping back out of reach of my claws that swiped at her. Quickly, she was able to get behind me and nip at one of my hind paws. Once again she was able to move before I could lash out at her. She continued this until I had no choice but to focus my full attention on her.
I never noticed Inuyasha creeping up behind me until I felt a large force come in contact with the back of my head.
‘That ass knocked me out!’ I thought as darkness surrounded me and I felt my body fall on its’ side.
~Miroku~
I cannot recall a time that I’ve ever had to use so much spiritual energy. My body felt on the verge of collapsing when I felt something solid push against my palm.
Opening my eyes I could see that a golden pendant was now in my hand.
Instead of the human male that I had originally seen, I was now staring a full-blooded demon in his violet eyes.
If I hadn’t previously known this would happen I would have been startled as I watched Ryo sit up. He seemed groggy and groaned a bit but was otherwise unharmed.
I watched quietly as he looked himself over the best he could before he turned to me.
“The pendant?” He asked his voice a little hoarse, most likely from the snarling he had been doing.
“Oh, here.” I said placing the golden pendant in his hand.
“Thanks.” He replied.
I could feel the spiritual energy fade almost completely from the hut.
“Oh my.” We both turned to see Katina sitting up as well.
Kagome looked tired but happy.
Apparently everything had worked out well.
