                                                      Ch.22 A New Journey.

   Sayuri ran until she no longer could see Sango's village. As she started to slow down the sound of terrified screams put Sayuri on alert. Sayuri listened intently trying to figure out where those screams came from. She started to walk carefully through the strech dirt road. As the path began to become wider; the screams became louder and the putrid odor of death, teared flesh and blood filled Sayuri's nose strills. Immidiatelly Sayuri covered her sensitive nose with one hand and started to walk faster in the direction of the village that was being attacked; whom Sayuri thought that was the problem; As she got closer Sayuri now noticed that several houses were distroid and a few others were on flames. The villagers were screaming and running. Sayuri glanced in every direction and everywhere she looked there was death and destruction. She then started to count every visible youkai that were attacking the village and Sayuri realized that there were a little more than a hundred youkais throughout the village. Instinctively Sayuri reached her left hand over her hip and grasp; she found nothing. She then realized that her sword the Byakko no Ken was still in her parents mansion. She cursed silently as she tried to find a way to defeat all of those youkais, and unarmed. "Damn it! How am I supposed to defeat all of them?! And by myself!" Sayuri said to herself. Then it occured to her, she would have to fight the way her father had taught her, oh so many years ago before the death of Tsuki. Sayuri briefly let her mind drift back in time where her father had taught her the art of Gyokko Ryu. She remembered how smooth and calculated his movements were... Another round of screams brought Sayuri back to the distroid village. She closed her eyes and tried to remember how use those fighting skills that she had nearly forgotten. After a few moments of remembering and memorizing her father's movements, Sayuri started to run toward the first small group of youkais, that consisted of about twenty of them in total.

    "You think you can defeat us, little woman?" one of the biggest youkai of the group said mockingly when he saw Sayuri approching at full speed. The rest of the youkais started laughing and began to turn their back on Sayuri.

    Sayuri's movements were fast and calculated. "You know, you should never give your back to your opponent" She threatend attacking one of the youkais that had left his guard down. In a sudden and calculated movement Sayuri attacked the youkais vital spots; starting and the abdomen working her way up to his heart. After the final blow the enormous youkai collapsed lifeless. The rest of the group gawked at her in amazement and fear. Sayuri then gained confidence and started to repeat the process over and over again until she was done with every youkai of that small group. Sayuri then started to get rid of some of the youkais that still attacked the village. When Sayuri spotted one the villagers that was fighting agaisnt the invadors, she quickly approached him. She was starting to feel exhausted after repeating so many times her father's technique Gyokko Ryu.

   "I need a sword, old man." Sayuri demanded, not caring if she sounded inpolite.

   The old man gawked at her and remembered that she was the only woman, except for the doctor, to be helping in getting rid of those damned youkais. The man handed her his sword and quickly unleashed the sword that securely rested in its tsuka.

   After receiving the sword from the man, Sayuri took a couple of deep breaths to try to remember how to use a sword.


                                                                 *********


   Miroku and Kira decided that they had spent the mayority of their day looking around for Sayuri and had returned empty handed. And most likely Sayuri was far enough to be ahead of them for at least half a day. Miroku was now exhausted after looking for his loved one for nearly ten hours none stop.  Also Sesshomaru hadn't been of much help either. He had refused to tell him in which direction Sayuri had departed. But Miroku knew well that Sayuri will be heading to Fukuoka nonetheless, she had said so in her letter, had she not? Miroku began to search for the letter hidden somewhere within his attire. When he finally found it, Miroku unfolded the paper and read it once one just to be certain that Sayuri had wrote that she indeed was going toward Fukuoka.

    I must return to Fukuoka at once and reveal the secret my mother has hidden from me all this years.

    Miroku felt his eyes stinging as fresh tears fought their way out. He closed his eyes and took several deep breaths to control the emotions that wanted to came to the surface. After Miroku regained calmness he exited his hut that now seemed lonely and cold. As he stepped outside Inuyasha and Kira approached him and asked him if he was alright. "I'm okay. Inuyasha, Kira, i would like for you two to come with me to Fukuoka. I know Sayuri will be there when we find her..." Miroku said with pleading, tired eyes.

    Inuyasha and Kira exchanged looks and smiled. "Of course we will go with you! We will head out toward Fukuoka tomorrow morning." Inuyasha said trying to cheer up his friend and comrade.

    "Now shall we all go eat now?" Kira said smiling sweetly at Miroku.

    Miroku hadn't thought about eating all day, and now he realized that he indeed was starving. Miroku nodded slightly and the three of them walked quietly towards Inuyasha's and Kira's hut. Miroku wondered if Sayuri was alright, something kept telling him that something might have happened to her. Miroku shook his head slighty getting rid of the idea. Miroku, Inuyasha, Kira, and the rest had dinner silently. As the sun began to set, Inuyasha remembered that that night was the night of a full moon. Miroku excused himself and went to his hut to sleep, at least for a few hours, if he could.  

    Inuyasha and Kira went to the river near by to clean the dishes and wash the dirty clothes they had. Once the moon appeared through the mountains, Inuyasha lost his demonic powers. His white mane became black, his golden eyes turned dark brown, his claws and fangs shortened until they had human characteristics. Kira watched delighted as Inuyasha changed.

    "Inuyashi, can we go really fast to my era? We will need supplies for our trip, and Miroku is sleeping right now. I think it's a good time to go." Kira said still staring at Inuyasha.

    Inuyasha met Kira's hazel eyes and understood why it would be a good time. "Keh, you say it because I've lost my powers today, huh." Inuyasha teased playfully. Kira giggled amused. "Alright, let's go." Inuyasha finally said. He took Kira in his arms and started running towards the shack that would transport them back into Kira's era. Inuyasha jumped in and the blueish light engulfed them.

                                                            **********

   The man and Sayuri fought back to back against the remaining youkais. But, hell there were still plenty of them. Sayuri knew that they would not be able to finish them all, just the two alone. Sayuri now had taken several strikes protecting the man who fought by her side. She started to feel lightheaded for the lost blood, but Sayuri tried her best to ignore the pain and keep fighting. "Damn it! They seem to be endless!" Sayuri thought in disdain and dispair. They were running out of possibilities and more and more youkais surounded them. Sayuri would have to try another way to use Gyokko Ryu in more than one opponent at a time. She would just have to strike straight to the heart of each youkai to finish faster, even though she was now exhausted. Sayuri dropped the sword and began her new plan of offense. Her movements were fast and straight to the heart. Within seconds Sayuri managed to kill at least 5 of the youkais that surounded the old man. Sayuri kept repeating her movement of danshi over and over. The youkais seeing the strenght that Sayuri still possed decided that they would retreat for now to regain strenght and inform their master of the situation.

   As the youkais fleeded Sayuri and the old man fell to their knees and smiled weakly. "Finally they're gone" Sayuri said trying to catch her breath.

   "Yes, at last..." the man answered.

   Sayuri then took a good look at herself and saw that she had more injuries that she had felt and counted. Her clothes were bloody and she didn't know if the blood belonged to her or it belonged to those youkais, but for the smell of it, Sayuri concluded that it was her own. Sayuri's sight began to be blury and out of focus. "Old man, call a doctor...." Sayuri managed to say before she collapsed and darkness engulfed her.

    "Call Yuka! Inmmediately!" the old man yelled at the few villagers that started to come out of their hideouts.
