Author's Note- Sorry it took so long to update, but I have finally got past my writer's block! Ok, from now on it may take a while for me to update. #1- I'll be at school most of the day. #2- I am working on 5 other stories besides this one. And #3- I will be doing revisions soon. As far as the so-called theme songs for the story, this one is by Linkin Park and it's really good. Well, anyway, here is the beginning theme:
CRAWLING
Crawling in my skin,
these wounds they will heal,
fear is how I fall,
confusing what is real
There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface,
consuming, confusing,
this lack of self-control I fear is never ending,
controlling, I can't seem...
To find myself again,
my walls are closing in,
(without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced
that there's too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before,
so insecure
Crawling in my skin,
these wounds they will heal,
fear is how I fall,
confusing what is real
Discomfort endlessly has pulled itself upon me,
distracting, reacting,
against my will I stand beside my own reflection,
it's haunting, how I can't seem...
To find myself again,
my walls are closing in,
(without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced
that there's too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before,
so insecure
Crawling in my skin,
these wounds they will heal,
fear is how I fall,
confusing what is real

Chapter 4- Strange Trickster and the Transformation of the Sword
It was nightfall and they were all sitting around the campfire. It had already been a week since their meeting Ahkra. The scenery had changed alot. Instead of village after village, like it had been before, for the last five days it had been nothing but forest.
"I getting tired of this! We haven't seen a village in five days! I'm fucking starving to death!", Seishin said.
"Calm down Seishin, we're bound to find a village soon.", Ritoki said.
"That we will.", Shippo said.
"We won't.", Ahkra said.
"What do mean, we won't?", Seishin said.
"This is the Forbidden Forest.", Ahkra said.
"WHAT?!?!", both Shippo and Ritoki yelled in unison.
"What's wrong? What's the forbidden forest?", Seishin said.
"Are you some kind of idiot or something?! The Forbidden Forest is cursed! All who come here die!", Ritoki said.
"WHAT?!", Seishin yelled.
"Not all.", Ahkra said.
"What do you mean, not all?!"
"Not all who come here die. Only the weak. Besides, these are my lands. I am the only one that dares to stay here, so I protect them."
"So what were you doing at that village that we found you at?"
"I came for food."
"What kind food? There seems to be plenty of those frickin' small berries here."
"I don't eat that stupid food. I usually don't eat for a month. Then I go to a village and kill a human to feed on."
"WHAT?!", both Seishin and Ritoki yelled.
"So you did kill those people! You bitch!", Ritoki said.
"I didn't kill anybody. By the time I arrived at the village, everyone was dead. I was going to feed off some of their remains, so I wouldn't die from hunger, but then you guys showed up."
"So how come you don't seem as hungry as everyone else?"
"I am hungry. But I keep it under control. If I didn't that slayer brat would be dinner already."
"You are so lucky there are people here willing to protect you.", Ritoki said in a getting-pissed-off attitude.
"So is there any village near here?", Seishin said.
"None. The closest was the one we passed five days ago. The one on the other side of the forest is about seven days away if we keep at this pace."
"Awww man! So what can we eat?"
"There's a sacred temple not to far from here. Surrounding the temple are trees of many fruit. Besides that there's a lake in the middle of the forest."
"I say we take the temple."
"Me too.", Ritoki said.
"We cannot go to the temple, at whatever cost.", Shippo said with a look of deep seriousness that he had never shown before.
"Why not?", Seishin said.
"We cannot. That is all I will say.", Shippo said.
"Awww! Come on! It's the closest thing and we out number you two to one!", Seishin said.
"There is no danger there.", Ahkra said.
"Yeah! And even if there was some, you taught me how to at least basically use a sword. There's nothing to worry."
"I will go only to protect you.", Shippo said.
"Well, now that that's settled, lets go!"
"Uhh, Seishin?", Ritoki said.
"Yeah?"
"It's the middle of the night.", Ritoki said.
"Oh, yeah."
"Lets at least get some sleep."
"Ok.", Seishin said as he and Ritoki stood up, grabbed their blankets, and layed down to go to sleep.
"Aren't you going to sleep Miss Ahkra?", Shippo said.
"Yeah...guess so.", she said as jumped onto a tree branch.
"What are you doing up there?"
"Never sleep on the ground. You are more open to an attack."
"Oh."
Ahkra layed against the base of the tree and went to sleep. Shippo just stared into the fire. He hated this forest. There were so many bad memories here. 'This is where they died. My friends...they met their fate here in this place. This is where I made my vow to never kill again...after the final battle.', Shippo thought to himself. Flashes of the final battle appeared in his mind. A white-haired, dog-eared boy...fighting a powerful black haired demon with a spider scar on his back. It was the final battle...between the great dog hanyou Inuyasha and the evil hanyou bent on controlling the Shikon No Tama, Naraku. In the end, they both died. But Inuyasha left a son behind.....'Yes...it was he who started all of this. Inuyasha's son, the son of a great dog hanyou and one of the most powerful priestesses in the world. He is the reason I still live, the reason why I am immortal. His task to me was to watch over and train his descendants...but how can I keep the secret from him? He cannot know of his demon blood...at any cost...but his power grows daily. It was hard enough keeping it before, that it was...but with the recent increases in his power...it is becoming impossible.', Shippo thought to himself as he stared at Seishin, 'Seishin No Unmei...the son of the One. The one destined to rule the world...to save it.'
FADEOUT- morning...
It was a strangely quiet journey through the woods the next morning. Neither said a word to each other. Seishin and Ritoki weren't talking to each other because of a little incident that happened in the middle of the night...which was Ritoki waking up to find Seishin right next to her with his arm over her...the incident ended with Ritoki giving Seishin a beating. Shippo was still concentrating on his thoughts and Ahkra never talked unless there was a need to. Suddenly there was rustling in the bushes. They all stood on guard. Something jumped out of the bushes and grabbed Seishin's sword and began running through the woods.
"HEY! GIVE THAT BACK!", Seishin yelled as he ran after the culprit.
He could see that it was a girl that wore a red jumpsuit with gold lining and a beige puffy hat with blue, red and yellow stripes (a/n- I know the outfit seems fucked up and it is...but this is my friend's character and she said that if I didn't put it this way she'd start black mailing me). She had short brown hair in a pony-tail and carried a weird wooden staff that looked like a deli roll on top. He caught up to her and jumped on top of her knocking her down. He saw that she was a young girl, about 11 or 12 years old.
"Your no fun!", she said in an innocent voice as she jumped up and again began running.
"Get back here you little brat! That sword is mine!", he said as began to again run after her.
"You'll have ta catch me!", she said as quickly mounted the staff as a witch would a broom and began to take off.
Seishin ran as fast as he could and quickly grabbed the end of the staff and clung on for dear life as it rose into the air. He tried to swing himself onto it but nearly fell off in the process. It rose higher and higher and when Seishin looked down he freaked. They were so high that the trees looked like ants.
"YAY!", the strange girl said as the staff began to point down.
They began to rocket straight down and Seishin again held on for dear life. At the last second before they hit the ground, they swerved upward. Seishin began to wiggle back and forth, trying to knock both of them off. They spun out of control and ended up crashing into a tree.
"Awww fuck! That hurt you stupid brat!", Seishin said as he pinned her to the ground and grabbed the sword.
"Are you all right Seishin?!", Ritoki said as she and Shippo came running up to him.
"Yeah, pretty much ok...can you bind her Ritoki?"
"Yeah. Sure.", she said as she cast a binding spell on the girl.
"Who are you?!", Seishin yelled at the girl.
"Wouldn't you like to know?", she said in a playful voice.
"C'mon you brat! Tell us your name.", Ritoki said.
"My name's Akutoushi! What's yours?", Akutoushi said.
"Uhhh! You are so annoying!", Seishin said.
"I know.", she said while giving him a smile.
"Uhh...where's Ahkra?", Seishin said relizing that she wasn't there.
"We lost her, that we did."
"I'm here.", Ahkra said as she walked up to them.
"What took you so long?!", Ritoki said.
"I didn't feel like running. Besides, I knew that girl was only playing around."
"How?"
"There's been an intruder in my forest for sometime. She's a trickster who's been staying here. Oh, and she's getting away.", she said pointed at the girl who was now running away.
They all ran after her through the woods but ended up loosing her as she entered an old, ruined, temple.
"Was this the place you were telling us about Ahkra?"
"Yeah."
"Well then, I guess we go inside."
"No.", Shippo said.
"Uhh! Not this again!"
"I refuse to go inside, that I do."
"Fine! Then you stay out here and we go inside! Come on guys.", Seishin said as he, Ritoki and Ahkra entered the temple.
It was pitch black inside so Ritoki lit a torch. The ancient walls of the temple had many carvings that seemed mysteriously familiar to Seishin. Skeletons of both humans and demons littered the floor.
"Uhh, this place is disgusting!", Ritoki said as the entered the main room.
The room was huge, engraved with thousands of carvings. In the center stood was seemed to be two stone coffins.
"Wonder who those belong to.", Ritoki said.
"Inuyasha.", Seishin said with a blank look in his eyes.
"What? Who's Inuyasha?", she said as she approached him.
"Stay back.", Ahkra said as she held Ritoki back, "Something's not right."
"What the...", Ritoki said as one of the coffins began to glow.
The glowing coffin exploded, engulfing the room in a cloud of dust. Seishin just stood there in the middle of the chaos. He seemed to be in some kind of trance. When the dust cleared, a ghost could be seen where the coffin had been. It had long wavy black hair and red eyes. It appeared as a shirtless man with a spider scar on his back. He smiled when he saw Seishin standing there.
"So you are his descendant, I can smell it in your blood.", the strange ghost said, but Seishin just stood there staring off into space with the same blank expression, "But you cannot hear me now, can you? Your spirit resonates with the other here. I know of your plot, Inuyasha. Come out and fight me!"
All of a sudden Seishin's eyes changed from the blank purple color to yellow, plus instead of a pupil there was now a slit.
"Naraku, how the hell are you still in this world?", said the voice of another speaking through Seishin.
"I promised myself just before I died that as long as any being of your blood was alive, I would not rest. Now I will kill him so that my soul may forever rest in peace."
"Feh, I wouldn't be talkin' Naraku. Knowing you, you probably still have a descendant out there and you don't see me complaining!"
"Does it seem like I care Inuyasha?"
"OKAY!!!!! Tell me what the hell is going on here!?!?", Ritoki shouted.
"Who are you wench?", the Seishin/Inuyasha person said.
"Who the hell are you calling wench!?!?", Ritoki said as Shippo ran into the room.
"Naraku?! What are you doing here?!", Shippo shouted.
"Shippo? Is that you?", Seishin/Inuyasha said.
"Inuyasha? What is going on here?!", Shippo said.
"Naraku here wants to kill this boy, cause he's my descendant!"
"What the hell are you guys talking about?!", Ritoki shouted.
"You grow on my nerves child. Time to eliminate you.", Naraku said.
The ghostly pale Naraku flew at Ritoki but only passed right through her. Ahkra unsheathed her claws just in case.
"Hmmm, I still cannot tamper with reality. But that doesn't mean I won't try.", Naraku said as he snapped his fingers.
Out of the shadows of the tomb, the young trickster Akutoushi walked as if also in a trance like Seishin to the center of the room.
"Inuyasha, behold, my descendant.", Naraku said as his spirit faded into her body.
Akutoushi raised her staff and pointed it at Seishin sending a blast of energy at him. He dodged it with an unknown speed that Ritoki had never known possible. Ahkra lunged at the girl trying to slash her with her claws but she flew into the air with her staff. Seishin pulled his sword from it's sheath. And held it in front of him.
"Naraku! Come and get me if ya want!"
"Fine by me, Inuyasha.", Naraku's deep voice said through the young girl's mouth as she ran at him.
"TETSUSAIGA!!!", Seishin yelled as his sword grew larger and fur grew around the hilt.
Seishin used the sword to block Akutoushi's attack. She lunged at him again and knocked him of his feet. As she was about blast him, Ritoki slashed the girl on the cheek with her sword. Akutoushi quickly turned around and pointed her staff at Ritoki, sending her flying across the room. Seishin jumped back up and pulled the sword back as it began to glow gold. Swirling winds appeared around him and Akutoushi. When he sensed that the two winds had collided, he swung the sword. A huge blast of golden energy ripped across the ground and engulfed Akutoushi. As she screamed in pain, the ghost of Naraku floated out of her body screaming in pain as well.
"This, is not the end Inuyasha.", Naraku said as he disappeared.
As Seishin stared at the unconscious form of Akutoushi, his eye color changed back to his normal color of purple. He began to look around room in confusion.
"Uhhhh, what just happened?", he said.
Everyone just gave him a shocked look. He looked at the sword in his hand and saw this new transformation.
"What just happened guys? I'm lost here."
"You...you just.......", Ritoki said.
"You were possessed Seishin.", Ahkra said.
"Wha?", Seishin said, "The last thing I remember is walking into this room and that's it."
"This guy named Inuyasha possessed you, and said that you were his descendant. He seemed like a really good warrior."
"Inuyasha? Never heard of him."
"Let's just go.", Shippo said.
"What about her?", Seishin said as he pointed at Akutoushi."
"She alive.", Ritoki said as she checked for a pulse, "I'll carry her."
After Ritoki slung her body over her shoulder, they all left the temple.
FADEOUT- two days later...
"Lalala lalalala lalala lalalala.", Akutoushi sang as skipped down the forest path with the rest of the gang.
"SHUT UP ALREADY!!!!!!", Seishin yelled.
"Why should I? Lalala lalalala lalala.....", she said.
"Why is she following us?", Ritoki said.
"I don't know! I never asked her to come!", Seishin said.
"Lalala lalalala lalala lalalala....."
"SHUT UP!!!!!!", both Seishin and Ritoki yelled.
"Hmm, stupid humans.", Ahkra said.
********************
Well, that's all for chapter four. Well, I would like to give thanks to pruningshears & Hiraikotsu Slinger for reviewing the last chapter. And to clear things up, Seishin is Inu's grandson. Alot of the people in this story will be the descendants of the people in Inuyasha. Oh and here's the ending theme. This one is from a brand new anime called RahXephon...you should see it cause it's really good. Well, anyway, here it is:
HEMISHPERE
Sore demo,
Ittai kono boku ni,
Nani ga dekiru tte iunda,
Kyuukutsu na,
Hakoniwa no genjitsu o,
Kaero tame ni,
Nani ga dekiru no,
Jensei no hanbun mo boku wa
mada ikitenai,
Sakaratte dakiatte,
Muishiki ni kizamarete
yuku keiken no tattoo,
Gakeppuchi ni tatasareta toki,
Kunan ga boku no ude o tsukami
Jibun jishin no arika ga
hajimete mietanda,
Motto hiroi field e motto
fukai ohki na dokoka e,
Yosou mo tsukanai sekai e
mukatte yuku dake,
Boku wa boku no koto ga shiritai...
Even so,
Just what in the word,
Can someone like me do,
The reality,
Within the cramped miniature garden,
To change it,
What can I do,
I still haven't even lived out
half of my life,
Rebelling and embracing each other,
Tattoos of experience are chiseled in
without me relizing it,
When I am forced to stand
at the edge of a cliff,
Adversity grabs me by the arm,
And I saw where I belonged
for the very first time,
To an even vaster field, to some
place even deeper and bigger,
I just defiantly face the utterly
unpredictable world,
I want to know about myself...
CRAWLING
Crawling in my skin,
these wounds they will heal,
fear is how I fall,
confusing what is real
There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface,
consuming, confusing,
this lack of self-control I fear is never ending,
controlling, I can't seem...
To find myself again,
my walls are closing in,
(without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced
that there's too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before,
so insecure
Crawling in my skin,
these wounds they will heal,
fear is how I fall,
confusing what is real
Discomfort endlessly has pulled itself upon me,
distracting, reacting,
against my will I stand beside my own reflection,
it's haunting, how I can't seem...
To find myself again,
my walls are closing in,
(without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced
that there's too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before,

"Naraku! Come and get me if ya want!"
"Fine by me, Inuyasha.", Naraku's deep voice said through the young girl's mouth as she ran at him.
"TETSUSAIGA!!!", Seishin yelled as his sword grew larger and fur grew around the hilt.
Seishin used the sword to block Akutoushi's attack. She lunged at him again and knocked him of his feet. As she was about blast him, Ritoki slashed the girl on the cheek with her sword. Akutoushi quickly turned around and pointed her staff at Ritoki, sending her flying across the room. Seishin jumped back up and pulled the sword back as it began to glow gold. Swirling winds appeared around him and Akutoushi. When he sensed that the two winds had collided, he swung the sword. A huge blast of golden energy ripped across the ground and engulfed Akutoushi. As she screamed in pain, the ghost of Naraku floated out of her body screaming in pain as well.
"This, is not the end Inuyasha.", Naraku said as he disappeared.
As Seishin stared at the unconscious form of Akutoushi, his eye color changed back to his normal color of purple. He began to look around room in confusion.
"Uhhhh, what just happened?", he said.
Everyone just gave him a shocked look. He looked at the sword in his hand and saw this new transformation.
"What just happened guys? I'm lost here."
"You...you just.......", Ritoki said.
"You were possessed Seishin.", Ahkra said.
"Wha?", Seishin said, "The last thing I remember is walking into this room and that's it."
"This guy named Inuyasha possessed you, and said that you were his descendant. He seemed like a really good warrior."
"Inuyasha? Never heard of him."
"Let's just go.", Shippo said.
"What about her?", Seishin said as he pointed at Akutoushi."
"She alive.", Ritoki said as she checked for a pulse, "I'll carry her."
After Ritoki slung her body over her shoulder, they all left the temple.
FADEOUT- two days later...
"Lalala lalalala lalala lalalala.", Akutoushi sang as skipped down the forest path with the rest of the gang.
"SHUT UP ALREADY!!!!!!", Seishin yelled.
"Why should I? Lalala lalalala lalala.....", she said.
"Why is she following us?", Ritoki said.
"I don't know! I never asked her to come!", Seishin said.
"Lalala lalalala lalala lalalala....."
"SHUT UP!!!!!!", both Seishin and Ritoki yelled.
"Hmm, stupid humans.", Ahkra said.
********************
Well, that's all for chapter four. Well, I would like to give thanks to pruningshears & Hiraikotsu Slinger for reviewing the last chapter. And to clear things up, Seishin is Inu's grandson. Alot of the people in this story will be the descendants of the people in Inuyasha. Oh and here's the ending theme. This one is from a brand new anime called RahXephon...you should see it cause it's really good. Well, anyway, here it is:
HEMISHPERE
Sore demo,
Ittai kono boku ni,
Nani ga dekiru tte iunda,
Kyuukutsu na,
Hakoniwa no genjitsu o,
Kaero tame ni,
Nani ga dekiru no,
Jensei no hanbun mo boku wa
mada ikitenai,
Sakaratte dakiatte,
Muishiki ni kizamarete
yuku keiken no tattoo,
Gakeppuchi ni tatasareta toki,
Kunan ga boku no ude o tsukami
Jibun jishin no arika ga
hajimete mietanda,
Motto hiroi field e motto
fukai ohki na dokoka e,
Yosou mo tsukanai sekai e
mukatte yuku dake,
Boku wa boku no koto ga shiritai...
Even so,
Just what in the word,
Can someone like me do,
The reality,
Within the cramped miniature garden,
To change it,
What can I do,
I still haven't even lived out
half of my life,
Rebelling and embracing each other,
Tattoos of experience are chiseled in
without me relizing it,
When I am forced to stand
at the edge of a cliff,
Adversity grabs me by the arm,
And I saw where I belonged
for the very first time,
To an even vaster field, to some
place even deeper and bigger,
I just defiantly face the utterly
unpredictable world,
I want to know about myself...
