Xaing's betrayel
Disclamer: Don't own it, never will. -.-
Xaing walked down the narrow dirt rode. Xaing was a tall, slender girl, of about 17. Her piercing green eyes could bathe you in a loving warmth or kill you with one look, her pail skin had never seemed to burn, tan, or freckle, and her blue hair that she always died back was tied up in a deceptively complex bun with 2 small braids that loop back into the bun. She tilted her hat in front of her face, to cover her eyes, as she came to the top of the hill. The sunset was beautiful but not one of her favorite things at that moment.
Kikyo, you bitch. How could you! After i kept your secret for so long, you go 'n' tell Naraku mine! Xaing thought as she walked into Kikyo's old village. She had to find some answers from Kaede and get a Kimono to blend in better, her Chinese clothes did draw some attention. I hope Kaede has something in red or black or blue or sumthin' She noticed the villagers coming around, some wet and got Kaede.
A while later Kaede appeared "Who are ye? And what is yer purpose here?" Kaede demanded as she made her way through the crowd.
"Ya got any good Kimonos?" Xaing said, sliding her hat back and off her head, so it rested on her back.
"Xaing!" Kaede exclaimed.
Xaing smiled at the old priestess. "你好, Lady Kaede!"
"Hello, Xiang." tears welled in Kaede's eyes but she payed no heed.
Xaing walked to the old priestess, bent over and hugged her. "为什么您哭泣, 祖母?"
Kaede returned the hug and replied,"I am happy, child."
They released each other. "Good, I'd hate to've come all the way out here and have no one be happy to see me!" Xaing said with the smile of an angel, her eyes drowning Kaede in a warmth she reserved for lost children, stranded souls and her Jo ma, Kaede.
-5 Days Later-
Xaing waved a final good-bye to the villagers in the village below before turning and stepping into the forest. She found walking in a Kimono was a pain in the ass though, she had to admit that the Kimono Kaede had given her was quiet pretty. It was a dark blue kimono with big, dark red butterflies on the sleeves and across the bottom and the obi was black. However, her mind was enveloped in the thoughts of her old village and the people she'd helped. She couldn't help but think of how Kikyo betrayed her. Her mind wandered to the lover of the woman she'd considered a sister... even now.
She hadn't ever gotten to meet Inu-Yasha or the others he now trailed with but she wasn't quite sure she wanted to.
She walked for a while before she shook her head of all thoughts concerning the village. She had more important things to deal with.
She'd been walking for some time and the sun was beginning to go down.
I'm not that tired, I could go through the night... get through the forest.
Xaing nodded to herself, "There should be a village on the other side." There was no moon out, making it virtually impossible to see a thing. She slowed down considerable, she may be able to see almost 5x better than a human in the dark but she was, still, not used to walking in her kimono.
She was carefully making her way down the sharp rocks and huge, wet roots of an odd hillwhen she slipped on a rather squishy thing. She fell the last ¼ of the way down the hill. She sat up and was almost instantly hit by the squishy thing she'd stepped on. It moaned as she sat up again. She focused her eyes on the blob. It looked like it might be some shade of green, warty, with some sort of bill, and it stank of blood.
"Better start a fire." She muttered, holding the blob like a baby while laying down her blanket. She gently put the little creature down on her blanket. Soon she had a small fire going with a small pot of tea hanging over it. She remover the pot and pored the steaming tea into a cup. She waited for it to cool so it would not burn the creature. It looked like a toad or a frog, she guessed it to be an imp.
When the tea had cooled she lifted the imp's head into her lap and pored some of the tea into his mouth. In most cases she would wait for the patient to waken before giving it tea but this one had been poisoned, it was a very subtle poison but it was an extremely powerful one. It drank some then started coughing. Its eyes flickered open and were met by Xaing's eerie turquoise eyes.
"Don't be afraid...蟾蜍淘气鬼?"
PLEASE FORGIVE ME!
I'm making Jocken a nicer guy... imp... whatever in here! I know you must all hate my but I don't wanna go with the standard "girl saves Sesshomaru, Sesshomaru indebted to girl blah, blah, blah," or "Rin takes liking to girl, Sesshomaru lets girl take care of Rin blah, blah, blah," or "girl saves Rin, Seshomaru takes girl with blah, blah, blah," and you get the point. So, please forgive me and all siggestions are welcome!
