Hey guys! Sorry for the late update on this one. I will admit, this is going to be a huge challenge in writing! I do have the pairings set up, and the main plot outlined.. so there is no worries there. I will say this, I intend on completing these fan fictions! So, do not worry about that! I will update about every week, if not every other day or what happens. So no worries there.
This story though, it's difficult. Mostly because there is a lot of twisted plots and challenging parts to write out. Characters will become out of character! I want you all to know this! It's not intentional, but when a character is OOC, it's the island's doing. Naraku - if you read Hime no Aisu, I'm going with that same setting for you lovely Naraku fans. I just think it works out for him best honestly. But I will admit, he will be a bit of a sociopath - which isn't all that bad. FYI.
Now! I do thank you guys for the rating and reviews! If you want me to alert you, please send me your email and I will email you the update every time I post a new chapter!
Let me know what you guys think so far. It's going to be a bit slow at first, but suspense is a great build-up, in this case. ;p
First Night
No one was able to find much shelter, but they were able to build a small hut made with leaves and broken tree branches. Water was scarce, but the fruits on the island was enough to sate their thirst for the moment. There were lots of melon trees, but for protein - nothing.Either way, the men of the group would begin their search by dawn for some fishing and possible small animals. And the women would begin trying to create large signs with rocks or anything they could find for any planes or ships that pass by.
They would make it off this island, especially since they all knew that people should be out looking for them. A cruise liner just sank to the bottom of the ocean, and it wouldn’t be long until planes and ships came passing by in search for survivors.
But even with their hopes high in the air, the island carried a aura that left even the fearless members of the group tremble with chills. They weren’t sure what it was, but they kept away from the edge of the jungle. It was Bankotsu who first noticed the eerie silence that paraded the area. Light barely made it’s way past the large leaves and cluttered mess of trees that formed the inner part of the island.
No one could explain it, but if someone stared long enough it felt as if someone was staring back. Or something. They never were to sure, but it always left a tingle sensation in their spine that whatever was looking back wasn’t pleasant.
After building their hut closer to the ocean by a fallen melon tree, they each grabbed enough wood and dried leaves to start a fire. Sitting in complete silence, no one really knowing each other, they decided tonight would best be spent staring at the flames.
As the sun finally vanished pass the horizon, the flames being the only light along with the stars and moon in the dark island, silence no longer surrounded them. Behind them, dwelling inside the darkness of the haunting ground, crackling noises were heard. Almost whispered sounds, but no words could be heard. Not even the members who could hear pass the humans weren’t able to make out the whispered sounds.
Suddenly, it all stopped - nothing could be heard, not even the waves that crashed beside them. Looking around, the group noticed a white figure catching their eye. As they all locked onto the mysterious figure, Sesshomaru was the first to make a sudden noise and quick stance as the image became very clear.
On the edge of the jungle, stood a young girl with dark hair that flowed pass her shoulders. In a white summer dress, feet bare against the soft sand, the girl stood facing the haunted mass of trees. The crackling noise was once again heard, whispers louder than before, the girl stood still with her back against the group.
Swallowing in fear, Sesshomaru took a couple hesitant steps towards the girl. Bankotsu, his gut clenching with unease, was the first to grab onto his wrist and shake his head. But the inu-yokai wouldn’t have it. His heart was racing and aching, confusion clouding his mind and reason. He was shaking - from it all. “Rin.” He whispered in doubt, wondering how his sister - who he witnessed die from the ship wreck - was standing before him.
The mention of her name, the girl tensed noticeably. The crackling noise became louder, and eventually the whispers became a taunting hushed laugh. As the finally faced them, her eyes were hollowed, lids torn away and her mouth sewn together.
His breath caught in his throat, as did everyone else. The sight before them was horrifying. The girl had no eyes and her lips sewn shut, the black thread visible to see. As he stepped closer, she began to fumble with her mouth until she began to break apart the skin from the thread. The crackling and laughter no longer heard - only the echoing scream could be heard.
And without a moment to spare, a force - pitch black but resembled the wind - swirled around the girl and forcefully pulled her into the jungle. She vanished from sight, and all that was heard was the eerie scream followed by the crackling noise of what now sounded like bones breaking.
Trying to run after his sister, he was immediately tackled to the ground by Jensen and Naraku. “No! Let me go!” He shouted out in rage, still not believing what he had just seen with his eyes. “She needs me!” His logical and reason out the window, and all he could feel was confusion, fear and an irrational urge to run into the jungle.
“Let me go!” He continued to shout out. “Rin! Rin!” He cried out to his sister. “Rin!”
Day Two
“Has he woken up yet?”“No. There hasn’t been an recent activity except for this morning where he sat up, stared for a good five minutes and passed out again.”
“I’ll see if I can try to wake him up.”
“How?”
Ignoring the braided-haired male, Kagome stepped into the make-shirt hut where Sesshomaru was currently lying on some large leaves. He wore nothing except his boxers, since his clothing was taken to be washed and dried. Well, somewhat washed.
Sitting beside him, the blue-eyed girl watched over the strong male. Last night, no one knew what had happened but they all knew how insane their friend here acted when the girl vanished in the jungle. It was clear the girl was no longer - well, anything - but it didn’t explain her appearance. Especially those eyes and her lips.
Shaking the thoughts away, she felt her heart raced from the terrible sight. What haunted her most since last night was the eerie scream she made. It sounded like a drowned cry, echoing in the emptiness an abyss in hell. It was not a scream that sounded normal, even for a yokai.
Placing her hand on the bare chest of Sesshomaru, she slowly drew out her own powers to try and sense anything wrong. All she received were anguish, fear and confusion. His mind was overworking itself, and at this rate she was sure he would give himself a completely mental meltdown if he didn’t die from an aneurism. Either way, she knew she had to wake him up.
She had to try and help him.
“Bankotsu!” She called out to the male standing outside behind the leaf flap.
Peeking his head inside, he cocked a fine brow. “Yeah?”
“Can you come in here, in case he wakes up and freaks out? I am going to need someone to handle his strength.” She replied honestly.
“Yeah, just let me get someone to also help out.” He closed the flap and looked around. Catching sight on a mop of black hair with a purple-ish tint, he called out. “Hey, Naraku! Gonna need your help!”
Looking back, he lifted from where he was currently threading a net. Placing it down, he headed over to the hut where Bank was standing. “What’s up?”
“Kagome needs help in case Sesshomaru wakes up. She doesn’t want to be on the receiving end if he freaks out again. I’m gonna need some non-human strength here since I lack in that field.” He smirked while pushing back the flap and having them both enter the small hut.
Looking down, they noticed a strange violet aura flowing around the two on the ground. Amazed at the light, they each kneeled beside the yokai and watched Kagome. It wasn’t until they noticed that the aura was a power from her, that when Naraku felt a slight tingle against his skin, he realized they were holy powers. Pushing away, he stopped only to realize the burning stopped and was filled with a warmness - a soft calming feel that began to heal his burnt skin.
He watched closely, wondering if he should ask if she was a miko but it slipped his mind the second they gasped. Looking down, he saw Sesshomaru’s eyes flutter open. No one moved a muscle, fearing what might happen if any sudden movements freaked him out. It wasn’t until he slowly sat up and looked over at them with a raised brow.
“You may relax. I have no sudden urge to kill any of you.” He stated coldly. Feeling a slight breeze against his chest, he looked down than back to the others. “My clothes?”
“Drying.” Kagome answered hesitantly. “Are you sure you are alright, Sesshomaru-san?”
“Taisho.” He stated quickly. “Call me Taisho. And I will be fine once I am dressed.” Raising to his feet, he walked out of the hut in search for his clothes.
Meanwhile, the three of them exchanged looks. “What did you do?” Naraku asked Kagome.
“I am not so sure. I felt his pain and confusion, and after that I am not sure what happened. I just remember wanting to help him and that’s it.” She confessed softly. “He seems back to his normal self, but I am worried he might try something.”
“Fear not, Higurashi-san. I do not intend on having a repeat of last night episode.” Sesshomaru responded, entering back inside the hut with his semi-dry clothes. “But I will ask that you leave this hut so I may dress appropriately.”
Nodding, they all left the hut and finally decided to just give the guy some space. Making their way over to the ocean, they finally decided to search for the others and make sure everyone was safe and sound. “Are you alright by yourself, Kagome?” Bank asked, as they both watched Naraku leave towards where a few of the members were in the ocean fishing.
“Yeah, I will be alright.” She replied. Nodding, she watched as Bank left in the opposite direction from Naraku, leaving the miko by herself with a moody Sesshomaru. “At least he isn’t crazy anymore.” She said to herself, kicking her feet in the soft wet sand.
Kira Kitagawa, Risa Tanaka and Sango Taijiya both sat in silence - gathering most of everyone’s clothes and trying to wash them from the dirt and sweat as much as possible in the ocean’s water. Jensen was not too far from them, fishing with a sharp make-shift spear and trying to gather the little fish they could find. No one had much sleep last night, especially after the terrifying incident with the mysterious girl. It wasn’t until they found out later that the girl resembled Sesshomaru’s younger sister.
They didn’t know much about him, or even the fact that he had a sibling with him on the cruise ship. But when the others filled them in, it didn’t help them feel more settle about being on a island that swallowed a supposedly dead girl in it’s jungle. All it did was raise red flags on what was going on.
Wiping the sweat from her brow, Risa looked over to Sango and Kira. They all had dark hair, but Risa was the only one who had hers short - not even long enough to put into a ponytail. She was a hanyou, jaguar to be precise. She had ears on her head like Inuyasha, but hers were rounded and had blue-ish grey dots to show her jaguar heritage.
She also had a tail which reached down to her ankles and was also dark colored with the same color dots. Her fingernails were sharp and long, but her fangs were short and only noticeable when she smiled. Without her jaguar side, she would look almost like Kira, minus the small mole under her left eye, a dragon tattoo on her left forearm and having incredibly long, violet black hair.
Their eyes though were both the same - vibrant green, except hers were more bluish than Risa’s. Sango was lighter brown hair, chocolate eyes and beside the fact she was athletically built, she looked just as human as any other.
“Hey, Taijiya-san. Do you think Taisho-san will be alright?” Risa casually started.
“I don’t know, but I hope so.” She responded. “After last night, if I saw my sibling who I thought was dead but ended up looking like- you know, I would probably have been the same as him. I’m glad Kasai-san and Miyasaki-san were able to hold him back from going into that jungle.”
“I agree. Something is very off about this island.” Sango added.
Kira flipped back her dark violet hair and looked over to the two girls. Speaking up with a British accent, she decided to give a theory of her own. “Hey, what if this island has some sort of mystical powers? As in, this island caused that ship wreck, and now we are the only ones left and still see no sign of any help. Be it aircraft, or another ship.”
“You know, I think you might be right.” Risa nodded. “I mean, the storm last night came out of nowhere. We are in the new century, how can they not detect a storm miles apart? Than a wave that big, to overthrow a cruise liner? Waves like that were considered myths.”
“Exactly!” Kira added. “Now, we are on this godforsaken island with no way for survival. If we can’t find fresh water soon, we’d die in a few days. This island barely even has animals on it. We can hear birds, but I’ve yet to see any.”
Silence finally settled between the girls, as they continued wringing out the clothes from water and setting them aside to finally placed around their camp to dry. Swallowing, feeling her throat dry as her saliva tried in vain to moisten her back up, she looked over to the girls. “I have a very bad feeling we won’t be leaving this island.”
Meanwhile, Jensen who currently was trying to catch any size fish from the ocean, listened to the girls talk among themselves. He knew he shouldn’t have eavesdropped, but they weren’t being quiet about it either. He had to agree with Kira though. Whatever was on this island was not natural, and that crash the other night was not normal. In all is life, he never been afraid of anything - not even the two assassins sent out to kill him after he disobeyed his head boss in the mafia.
Nothing terrified him more that what lied in that jungle. Deep within it’s dark roots, something was watching them and he knew it. He could feel its eyes observing them. Its ears listening to them. And preying on them. It sent chills up his spine.
“Hey! Guys!” A voice called out to them from beside them. Looking over, they all spotted Bankotsu heading towards them with a wave to his hand in the air. “He woke up!”
His eyes widen at the news, he quickly grabbed the other two spears with a few fish on them and headed over to the others. “That’s great! How is he doing?” He asked, racing up to the others - making sure to not step on anything sharp that lied in the waters.
Looking over to the green-eyed male, he gave a short shrug and looked back to the others. “We think he is alright. He says he is, but we still aren’t sure. We should probably head back to camp though and maybe discuss more about everything. Last thing we need is to be separated on this island.”
As they all nodded and began to follow suit behind Bank, the blue-eye male kept his eye on Jensen. He was beginning to have conflict with himself, knowing that now the rules of life have changed he wasn’t sure if he and Jak should complete their primary mission. For all they knew, they would have to work altogether to get off this island and if they were to kill Jensen, most likely everyone on the island would turn against them.
That was the last thing he needed from anyone. With a new enemy to focus on, they all needed each other to fight against it.
He wasn’t one to complain. As a matter of fact, he wasn’t one to whine about anything, even if the matter was very personal. But sitting here, standing on the edge of the jungle with Inuyasha up in the tree above him - he wanted to say something. He needed to say something.
But his mouth remained silent as he was handed more melons. His eyes were glues to the eerie darkness from past the trees. How could something be so dark in the middle of the day? It made no sense to him, but he knew the longer they were right here, the more in danger they will be.
After that freak show last night, Jakotsu Fujiwara refused to just let this one ride out as no big problem. Hell, the ship wreck wasn’t even a big deal to him. A major inconvenience, yes! But nothing more than that though. This however stepped over so many boundaries of his.
“Matsumoto-san! Are you almost done?” He whispered out loud, feeling his body tremble from fear.
Looking down, the hanyou swallowed hard as he used his claws to cut down one more melon and toss it down. He didn’t like this anymore than Jak did, but they needed to keep hydrated and the melons were the only things with water in them to keep them sated enough. Climbing down, he grabbed a few of the melons from Jak’s arms and nodded. “Now we are done. Let’s get out of here.” He stated quickly, racing with the other male closer to the ocean’s shore and away from the inland of the island.
Panting from the fear and panic they both shared, they looked back only to see another figure behind the trees. Their eyes widen at the sight, but before they could try and see what it was, Naraku called out to them.
“Hey, you guys alright!”
Looking over to the dark haired male, they each nodded and looked back only to see the figure gone. They eventually began to think if they imagined the whole scenario and was mostly driven by fear. It could be possible, and their mind could very well be playing tricks on them. Either way, they just wanted to head back to camp and away from this area. Who knew if what they saw was really real or not?
“How is Sesshomaru?” Inuyasha asked quietly, making their way over to Naraku.
“He just woke up. Kagome did something that caused him to wake and he’s doing great so far. He seems back to his normal self, but we want to make sure he will be alright. We should head back to camp. Fujiwara-san wants to talk to us about something important.” Naraku informed. “You guys alright? Looks like you saw a ghost.”
“You can say that.” Jak mumbled. “We saw something in the jungle but it was gone when you arrived. Let’s just leave. This place is started to freak me out the longer we stand here.” He stated, walking past the two others towards camp.
Following in suit, they finally reached the camp site with Bank and the others arriving at the same time. Sitting by the fire was Sesshomaru and Kagome, both fixing some of the make-shift nets that Naraku was working on earlier. Sitting beside them, everyone took a comfortable spot forming a circle around the fire pit.
“Glad to see you are awake, Taisho-san.” Inuyasha smiled.
Nodding, Sesshomaru kept his mouth shut while he continued to work on the net. After a while, Kagome finally spoke up, looking over to Inuyasha who was currently sitting with his back facing the jungle. “I’m not trying to sound paranoid, but should you really be sitting with your back facing that dreadful place?”
“Yeah, I guess you are right.” Inuyasha smirked, shifting on the other side of Kagome and away from the jungle.
“Well, now that we are all here. We need to talk about what we are going to do now.” Bankotsu stated. “We can’t split off in teams anymore. Not unless the teams are split in half. We can’t take any risks with whatever lies in that jungle.”
“Agree. So, did you have a group set in mind? I’m not trying to be a sexist, but wouldn’t it be best to have the women at camp with one other guy, and the rest of us will go in search for items, food and water. I just think it would be safest for them here than walking around the island when we don’t know what will happen.” Jensen added.
“I should take offense to that, but I have to agree as well. I may be a woman, but after what we saw last night, hunting probably won’t be our biggest suit. At least that is my opinion. I am not sure about anyone else.” Sango replied.
“I can hunt.” Risa spoke up. “I’m a jaguar hanyou, and I take pride in my predator primal instincts. I can help you guys hunt.”
“I think before we do anything, Fujiwara-san, we should at least get to know each other more. Splitting male and female into two groups could be the one thing that could ruin us.” Naraku informed.
“Agreed. Well, I guess we can go ahead and start getting to know each other. Who is good at cleaning fish and cooking it?” He asked, looking around to see Risa and Sesshomaru lift their hands quickly. Handing them the fish on the spears, he also handed them a sharp rock only to see them use the claws instead. “Alright, how many melons did you guys get?” He finally asked Inuyasha and Jakotsu.
“Ten. We found a very large supply of them, but they were on the jungle’s edge.” Jak replied as he began to hand them the melons.
Taking them into his hand, he nodded and began to placed them behind him in their large hole where four other melons were laying inside. Grabbing two of them, he handed them over to Naraku who began to use his own claws to slice them into equal parts for everyone. As they handed everyone their own slice, Bankotsu finally began the conversation. “My full name is Bankotsu Jin Fujiwara. I’m Jakotsu’s younger brother, and we are no longer in ties with my father’s corporation. Since it looks like we will be with each other for a very long ass time, I might as well share some stuff with you all.”
“Me and Jak been on our own since we were teenagers. Living in alley’s at times, ate what we could get a hold of. Father still paid for our school, so we went cause that was the only place we could eat and shower, thanks to gym class. We dropped out in high school and started our own business. We won a trip on the cruise and well, now we are here. We’re both human, but we match a hanyou’s strength. We like to be strong, cause you never know what troubles you will get into.” He continued.
“I’m mostly a leading type, but I do know my place and won’t step over boundaries. I do what I see if best for everyone, and will do most of the providing.” He finished off.
Jak started after him. “He plays more of a bigger brother than I do.” He chuckled, followed along with a few other chuckles from everyone else. “I’m more laid back, and try to find easier ways to deal with things. Before we get started, I prefer men, so don’t get any ideas ladies.” He smirked.
“Well, there isn’t much I can say now. I follow whatever Bank tells me to, and I don’t mind if you guys call me Jakotsu.” He finished off, leaning back against his hands and looking around the circle.
Kira took over after them. “I’m Kira Kitagawa, and you can call me either or. It doesn’t matter to me. I’m a human, but I have knowledge with herbs, poisons, and anything related to that. I can heal just about anything given the right items or I can use my own ability to heal people. I am not a miko, but I was trained by one when I was young until I finished high school. After that, I studied many forms of healing practices and medical histories.”
“That’s quite amazing.” Inuyasha noted. “Where are you from?”
“I’m from Okinawa. But I’ve moved to many countries before. My mother was military with America. I’m half American and Japanese.” She smiled.
“Where are your parents?” He asked softly.
She grew silent while looking to the ground. With soft, tear-filled words, she replied back. “I saw them drown on the ship wreck, along with my little brother. I tried to save him, but I wasn’t able to.”
Cringing at that horrible fact, he apologized for his rudeness. She immediately shrugged it off with a smile and shook her head. “It’s fine. At least I get to carry them with me now.” She whispered softly.
After a couple minutes of silence, Jensen was the next to go. “I’m Miyasaki Jensen. You guys can call me whatever. I’m also half Japanese and Canadian. Parents fell in love during the seventies.” He chuckled. “They are both alive in Japan, and I have two sisters. Both of them don’t really like me, but it’s understandable. I had a terrible job back in Japan, and left to gain freedom and a new start. I wasn’t expecting this little vacation of mine to end up here though.”
Everyone gave a bitter laugh. “I’m a wolf-yokai. Never been part of a pack though, since none of the ones in Japan liked interracial marriages. It was fine for us though, we learned to be our own pack throughout the years. I’m not well with hunting though. But I can skin, clean and make useful items from animals hunted though.” He finished.
Kagome took the next spot with a smile. “I’m Kagome Higurashi, but you can call me Kagome. I’m a human miko and to answer you Bankotsu-san, I can’t hunt, clean or make anything from animals. I never had the opportunity to learn, but I can and will though. Though, I prefer to heal others and rather be where the action is at. To have two healers together in a group would be pointless if a group member was to injure themselves while hunting. Of course, between me and Risa, I am not sure who is the more experienced.” She added.
“Well, mostly likely we might just switch between the two. Let you both gain the experience needed.” Bank smiled.
Sango was next. “I’m Taijiya Sango. If you don’t mind, until I know you guys better, please call me Taijiya. I was on the ship with my parents and brother, but I’m the only survivor. I’m a human, but also have experience in slaying if my name doesn’t mean anything. I worked for my father, and my job was to take care of rogue yokais and hanyous. I can hunt and defend, if given weapons.” She informed, looking over to Kagome nervously. As the two locked eyes, they both shared a smile and bow before looking back to Bank.
“I’m Sesshomaru Taisho. You will address me as Taisho. I’m a inuyokai, and a powerful one at that. But with the strange aura here and control it has on the mind, I prefer to remain at the camp where either healer can be present in case another incident was to occur.” Sesshomaru stated coldly.
“Alright. Deal.” Bank nodded. Finally, they all looked over to Inuyasha who had yet to share anything about himself.
Shifting in his spot, he cleared his voice and spoke up. “I’m Matsumoto Inuyasha. Inuyasha works fine for me. My mother was the only one to raise me, and I don’t know my father but I know his name is Inutaisho. I don’t know his last name, nor do I-”
“Your father is Inutaisho?” Sesshomaru immediately cut the hanyou off from speaking.
“Uhm, yeah. My mother hardly speaks of him, but she did say that was his name. I don’t really care much of else about the guy though. Apparently he is married, or mated, or whatever to someone else.” Inuyasha informed.
“Have you ever seen a picture of him?” Sess interrogated.
“Yeah, once. He has the same hair and eyes as me, but he has two blue marks on his cheek. I don’t remember much of anything, except for those.” He replied back. “Is something wrong?”
Sitting in silence, Sesshomaru placed the fish down that he was cleaning and glared over at Inuyasha. “My father’s name is Inutaisho, and from what my mother had told me, he had an affair twenty years ago.”
“Doesn’t mean anything. There could be another yokai with the same name and resemblance.” Inuyasha stated.
“No, only Inutaisho has that name in the yokai society. Any other would be considered disrespectful since he is the leader of the yokais.” He stated matter-of-factly. “It could be possible your mother mistaken the name for someone else.”
Scoffing, Inuyasha shook his head and looked back over to Bank. “Anyways! I’m great at tracking and have a good sense of smell. I’m also good at fighting.” He gritted his teeth, keeping his eyes closed and his mind on something else other than Sesshomaru, the guy who clearly called his mother a liar! No one insulted his mother!
“Alright.” Bank slowly spoke, looking at the tension between Sesshomaru and Inuyasha. ‘They are probably brothers.’ He said in his mind. Finally looking over to Naraku, he noticed the red-eye male staring off into space. Clearing his throat, he caught the hanyou’s attention and smiled with a nod. “Your turn.”
“I’m Kasai Naraku. Successor of my father, Kasai Katsu. I’m a spider hanyou, and shape-shifter. I’ve been told I’m a sociopath, but that’s only because I keep to myself and don’t care much for anyone. I’m picky when it comes to trusting, and not too much of a friendly guy.” He stated calmly. ‘Mostly because people who see my real form, tend not to trust me and run away screaming I’m a monster.’ He thought to himself. His face however kept his original stoic expression, with a glint in his eyes. “I’m good at tracking, hunting and killing. All I ask, don’t cross me and I won’t hurt you.” He finished off.
“Got it.” Bank nodded. Finally, after a few short quiet minutes, he finally made out a plan for their time spent on the island. “Alright! Inuyasha, Naraku, Kira, Risa and I will be the main ones to hunt. Kira, you and Kagome will switch every other day. So two days out in the field will be enough to help train you and such. Everyone else will remain at camp, preparing food, repairing the shelter and anything else that can benefit our base. That alright with everyone?”
“Yeah, that works out just fine.” Everyone agreed.
With a smile on his face, Bank finally grabbed his slice of melon and devoured the juicy fruit - enjoying the watery nectar that refreshed his dry throat and mouth. As the day rolled by, everyone finally began to talk openly with each other, and some even joking - trying to get their mind off their lost loved ones and the hell on this horrible island.
Third Night
Risa woke up from a strangle shuffling noise. Opening her eyes, she looked around her to see everyone asleep inside the hut. The noise stopped and she wondered if maybe it was anyone who might have been moving in their sleep. Lying back down in the sand, she closed her eyes only to hear the shuffling noise once more.
Her ears twitching against the sound, she suddenly pin-pointed the noise outside the hut. Fear devouring her soul, she swallowed hard and slowly moved over to the flap - keeping her body still lying on the ground. Lifting up the bottom of the leaf flap, she noticed a pair of feet moving along the sand around the fire pit.
Inhaling sharply, she kept her silence as the scent of rotted flesh and blood filled her nose. The skin on the walking legs were even a grayish blue, signaling to her that the person was no longer alive. But why? Why was the person walking?
Her heart was racing, and before she got the courage to pull the small flap corner down, the person dropped to the ground. His breath caught in her heart, she stared at the hollowed eyes, nothing but black holes where its eyes once were, looking right back at her. Its lips sewn shut, and his body moving closer to the hut.
Tears on the brink of falling, she almost let out a scream until a pair of hands covered her lips to keep her from making a noise. Her body flushed against a hard chest, with a arm wrapped around her arms and waist. Fear settling in, she was close to kicking away the person until she heard a sooth voice.
“Close your eyes, and just keep hearing my voice.”
Sesshomaru had came awake the second he heard shuffling, and a gasp from one of the members. He wasn’t sure what made him move to save the girl, but he knew that if he didn’t she would be drawn in fear. The whole time he was asleep after seeing his sister, he couldn’t help but be afraid. Something was inside him, gnawing at wanting to come out. He couldn’t explain it, but he was in pain and was terrified.
He wouldn’t let anyone go through that pain. It was a silent suffering, that no one could save you from. He was just glad that Kagome brought whatever out him and returned him to his normal self.
Feeling the jaguar finally calming against him, he continued to look at the flap where a faint shadow of the creature was now crawling outside. He felt her tense once more, and knew he had to do something before the creature began to scream. As long as it didn’t scream, she would be safe. At least that is what he kept on thinking.
They couldn’t let any other members fall prey to these things or what lied in the jungle. Turning her around, facing him, he sank his fingers into her hair and tried to gently scratch her scalp while rubbing her lower back.
Risa felt tears wanting to fall, but the second Sesshomaru came into her sight, she calmed. She felt her whole world finally come at ease the second he turned her around. The creature was no longer in her mind, but she knew deep down it was still there. Waiting.
Closing her eyes, she prayed herself to sleep until she found solace in Sess’s arms. Meanwhile, Sess kept watch on the flap of the hut. His eyes narrowed as he watched the creature rise up, and a dark shadow reached out to grab them.
Again, the creature vanished from site, except no screaming was made this time. Only crackling noise and whispers. Shutting his eyes tightly, he wished himself to sleep as well.
Yeah, it's pretty scary. The island will be the main enemy of course. And yes people, everyone will have their fair share of scare just like Sesshomaru. So, let me know what you guys think about this chapter.
Next chapter, a week has passed, and they now have a set routine. Except something happens back at camp.
While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
