Inuyasha A Remake

°C H A P T E R - F I F T E E N°

[ 3rd Person ]

'Was this some kind of test?' Was the half demon's first thought as he was running in an endless forest. Pacing a dead tree he once saw before. No, he at least saw that tree ten times, before. He was sure. No positive. How could he forget the slate coal like tree with no, not even one leaf on a pointed, sometimes broken, branch.

Was he going mad?

Maybe. But one thing was for sure.

He was going to keep running..

Maybe if he did..

He would somehow escape the hollow forest.

"INUYASHA!"

"Huh?"

Before he could even think, or move. A spiritual, but powerful arrow, collided with his skin. Piercing his flesh.

The force (As powerful as it was) Pushed the half demon back until his back was met with an oak tree.

"Ahuhhhuhhh!?" Cried Inuyasha. The pain was great, like no other he's felt before. In a way it did seem oddly familiar. His hand curls around the arrow but didn't dare touch it. For might the pain worsen. 'I'm struck.. Who has done this to me?'

His eyes widen. 'Wait?'

He looks down at the arrow which pierced his skin. 'This arrow..... That...... That voice?'

He moved his eyes forward preparing his eyes to what sight he might see next.

Or to who he might see next..

'Is that Kyoko?' He narrowed his eyes at the shadowy figure, who stood with her arrow with arms length. Her raven hair swayed in the wind, making her even more familiar to the half demon's golden eyes.

'No...That's Not her.' He thinks again. Knowing the tomboyish girl who used a Katana, and fought directly.

'Its...Its-' He stumbles in his thought if that were possible. Not being able to gain the courage, to believe what his eyes were seeing.

'Kikyo?'

Her eyes looked at him with hate, and with such fire. But also like the last time pity. What was her intentions next? What was going to happen in this endless of a darkness world.

Only she could know.

The priestess parted her lips to shout the name, of her once partner, friend, and most importantly lover..

She took a deep breath. "INU-!"

"YASHA!"

"Stolen Ashes, Part One"

Inuyasha jolted up in his once nightmarish slumber. Looking left to right, forward to backward. In every direction possible. Breathing heavily as he seated himself upward on the the high tree branch.

Once calming himself down, he relaxed his once tense muscles, and leaned his head against the tree behind him.

"I-It was just a dream..." He shifted his movement and brought his hand up to his forehead and held it tightly. "I thought I was done with those nasty memories?.." He mumbled to himself with slight anger. To him those memories were like yesterday. Him being betrayed, losing the one person he trusted the most. He didn't admit it, but he was hurt from what actions the priestess did.
