[001 - Accidental Video]
Aug. 20th, 2011 12:21 am[Well this was just perfect. All he had wanted was to take a nice, long nap after that last battle with Ryuukotsusei, and what did he get? Dumped off in some strange world, apparently. The city almost reminded him of Kagome's era, but it was also different. This place reaked of death and decay, and it almost felt like dark shadow was hanging over everything, sucking the life out of it. No doubt this was one of Naraku's little tricks.]
[There's no time to fret about this unwanted development, though. Inuyasha is very hard at work trying to figure important things out. Like what the hell this stupid technological contraption is supposed to be.]
[After a while, the PCD is accidentally turned on, just in time for those listening to hear Inuyasha talking to himself.]
-ooks like one of Kagome’s picture boxes, only this one’s smaller…
[He looks over the device for a bit longer, only to give a low growl and a short curse.]
Damn it all. [The PCD is tossed over his shoulder and quickly forgotten.] I don’t have time for this! I gotta find Kagome and the others. It’s faint, but I can definitely smell traces of Kagome and Sango around here. Not to mention Sesshoumaru and that bastard Naraku...
[Getting down on all fours, Inuyasha starts sniffing the ground, trying to pick up a better scent trail. This faithful puppy won’t stop until he’s found his friends.]

Date: 2011-08-30 01:39 am (UTC)[He wasn't gonna say anything, but...yeah, his curiosity is getting the better of him.]
So what happens?
[video//private//unhackable]
Date: 2011-08-30 02:03 am (UTC)The usual. We fight together. Naraku gets stronger, but so do we. There are hardships and problems, but we always overcome them. Tessaiga gets a new ability--it becomes the Red Tessaiga, which can cut through barriers. Right now we're fighting enemies called the Shichinintai, a band of seven humans that Naraku resurrected from the dead with shards. Several have been defeated. You and Kagome-chan are near a place called Mt. Hakurei, since we've managed to track down Naraku there--Houshi-sama and I are inside, fighting Kagura... and Kohaku, and as I recall, a horde of lesser youkai. [Just the slightest hitch in her voice and the smile fades quickly.] It's a holy mountain, so you can't enter. We haven't yet figured out why Naraku's incarnations can be there, though.
[video//private//unhackable]
Date: 2011-08-30 12:08 pm (UTC)Tch. So even after all that, we still haven't defeated Naraku? Damn...

Date: 2011-08-31 02:13 am (UTC)InuYasha... even if we could get out of here... You can't mean to say that you would just leave Naraku here with the rest of these people!
[Because even though this plan is impossible... It's the principle of the thing.]
[video//private//unhackable]
Date: 2011-09-01 07:58 am (UTC)Then I guess we'll just have to figure out some way to defeat him here.
[video//private//unhackable]
Date: 2011-09-01 07:37 pm (UTC)And provoking him like that... he'd use innocents against us. It's not fair to let them be dragged into our battle.
[video//private//unhackable]
Date: 2011-09-03 02:56 am (UTC)[video//private//unhackable]
Date: 2011-09-03 03:49 am (UTC)It's not always that simple, InuYasha. And--I'm fairly sure that he's from the future compared to the both of us. His aura is stronger--can you feel it? Which means he's more powerful. Plus, Houshi-sama isn't here to help. He'd kill us before we could do anything.
And while you do come back, you lose something. A memory, an ability, a limb. For Naraku, all those things are so inconsequential... not so much for us. And we haven't been able to destroy him before--why would trying to now make any difference?
Not only that... but I've been here, in one place, for four months. At home we were always on the move, so we didn't have time for forming bonds. We were all each other needed. But here--well... there are people I--and Kagome-chan too, though her time has been shorter--have grown to care about. People Naraku will use against her and me and us. [People like Kohaku.] People we [I] can't bear to lose. Putting them in any more danger than they already are is... out of the question.
[video//private//unhackable]
Date: 2011-09-03 03:59 am (UTC)[He glares at her through the screen.]
You and Kagome can go ahead and look after your friends. I don't give a damn what all you guys do, but I sure as hell ain't gonna sit back and let Naraku do whatever he wants. It may not seem like a big deal to you, but if killing him means that Naraku will start losin' his memories and abilities then I'm gonna destroy him as many times as I can!
[video//private//unhackable]
Date: 2011-09-03 04:11 am (UTC)If you're going to fight him, you've got to make it count, at least. You can't just go rushing into things without a plan like you do at home.
[video//private//unhackable]
Date: 2011-09-03 04:25 am (UTC)I won't die. You can count on that.
[video//private//unhackable]
Date: 2011-09-03 04:35 am (UTC)[Yes, she did just go there.]
At least while you insist on being ridiculous. Naraku isn't the only enemy here, nor is it likely that he's even the strongest. [He just happens to be their enemy.]
[Four and a half months in Adstringendum. It's changed her--a lot. But in ways that only people who knew her before can discern.]
I am sick and tired of seeing people I care about hurt by things we can't control. There is absolutely no way in hell I'll let it happen via something in our control. You can't be stupid here, InuYasha, even if it seems like there's less at stake.
[video//private//unhackable]
Date: 2011-09-03 05:56 am (UTC)[He stares at her for a while, silent.]
Just what the hell happened to you, Sango? You used to wanna destroy Naraku just as much as the rest of us. Now it just sounds like you've given up.
[video//private//unhackable] 1/2
Date: 2011-09-03 06:14 am (UTC)[video//private//unhackable]
Date: 2011-09-03 06:15 am (UTC)But here, it's pointless. Even if we did manage to eradicate him completely here, it wouldn't count at home. When we do destroy him, it's going to be costly. I don't want us to have to pay more than we already have, especially when in all actuality, it buys us so little.
[video//private//unhackable]
Date: 2011-09-03 06:22 am (UTC)[He holds up a fist, looking as determined as ever.]
I don't care how long it takes me. I will find a way to destroy him, and I'm gonna do it without anyone else getting hurt. And nothin' you or anyone else says is gonna keep me from tryin', ya got that?
[video//private//unhackable]
Date: 2011-09-03 06:37 am (UTC)I know you'll take him down. We will. But expecting to do that without anyone getting hurt is... it's unrealistic, InuYasha. And believe me, I know how frustrating it is, but you have to think of other people.
I'm not saying we can't retaliate. Because if he does anything to harm the innocents here, it's unacceptable. But just attacking him out of the blue... it's not a good idea. He's actually been quiet these past few weeks.
[video//private//unhackable]
Date: 2011-09-03 06:58 am (UTC)[video//private//unhackable]
Date: 2011-09-03 07:32 am (UTC)[She manages to link one of his conversations.]
If that's the case, then for the moment, everyone is--well, not safe, but something like that. But people are going to get hurt either way. If we attack first, he retaliates by hurting innocents. If he attacks an innocent first... then we invariably go after him, after which he exacts revenge by hurting more people. It's a vicious cycle. But here, it hasn't been set in motion yet. He thinks he can get the upper hand on the Animus, and because of that, he's leaving everyone else well enough alone. Which is good.
