Chapter 1: Persistence is a virtue…unless its Rin!
….
Things were going bad and weren't as they were supposed to be, no everything was changing even the body Icis was once so familiar with was changing and she had no reason as to why. Did she have a disease or something that made her teeth elongate and her hair grow unable to keep a good hair cut for more than a week? Nothing was unhealthy about her in fact the doctors said she was ultimately healthier than any other patient they have had recently.
Then her metabolism went through the roof and she couldn't stop eating and playing around running and chasing after her siblings for the longest time.
Many times her mother simply said it was because she was getting older but how many girls do you know start growing out of their clothes because they got skinnier in an amount of a month then not to mention you have miracle grow hair and nails.
No Icis was pissed because she was stuck still wearing her fucking big ass clothes and couldn't get any more until she got another job.
"You'll be fine you never minded wearing baggy clothes before why is it any different now?"
"Because they aren't loose fitting, now they just swallow me whole."
Icis's mother gives her a sigh then turns back to reading her damn mothering magazines that don't seem to be working if you ask Icis or the other two kids they so willingly adopted.
You'd think that if you wanted kids you would at least try to be a good parent first. Returning to her room Icis lies flat on her back staring up at the ceiling wondering what really caused this stupid change to occur and at such a strange time.
Closing her eyes Icis drifts to sleep her mind mulling over what was happening to her all of a sudden.
Icis wakes up looking about seeing a lush green canopy looking back at her and sits up knowing she isn't at home. Glancing to each side Icis stands not understanding how clean and clear everything feels, the air isn't thick with pollution. Walking a bit unnerved toward a dirt path Icis keeps her senses open for anything that may be lurking or unmoral.
"Where's my house?" Icis whispers spinning in a circle to try to find the right direction but ends up lost like before. 'Not normal, I have to be dreaming, that's the only explanation there is.' Walking down the path Icis hears a few birds chirping and it sends a bit of comfort through her frazzled brain.
'Okay, so what am I supposed to be doing in this dream of mine?' Icis wonders entering a large clearing seeing a small girl in the middle bent picking flowers humming. The girl looks up seeing her and gasps dropping her flowers and backs away frightened.
Not knowing what to do Icis backs away not meaning to scare her but bumps into something making her twist around quickly.
Yelping when she is tossed on the ground Icis looks up to see what exactly was able to do that to her but her eyes go wide. Scrambling up and away Icis dashes from the clearing breaking through to the path and runs straight back to the clearing she woke up in. Breathing heavily Icis collapses by a large tree and curls her legs to her chest not understanding what she just saw, a…monster? He had stripes and fangs and….a fudging tail!
Resting against the tree Icis stares up at the sky seeing the dark clouds rolling in, 'Great nowhere to hide at this place; don't even know where I am!' Standing Icis walks away being sure it's the opposite way of which she just came.
Dashing as the rain starts pouring heavily Icis ducks into a cave having to kneel to get in but sinks down in the dirt.
'This dream is too much, wake up already!' Icis begs mentally leaning against the wall and looks out at the ground being pelted by rain lazily. Sighing Icis looks about plucking a rock from the ground and toss it out the cave splashing into a puddle with a plop.
Two feet jump down where Icis had thrown the rock and Icis jumps scurrying to the very back of the cave frightened.
'Wake up! Wake Up! WAKE UP!' Icis screams mentally but screams out loud when her foot is grabbed and she's dragged outside the cave. Looking up terrified Icis sees the same monster from before then looks down to her foot seeing his large hand and fights getting free.
Icis was about to run when she gets latched onto by the little girl from before falling back to the wet ground. Looking up at the child taken aback Icis sees the toothy grin but doesn't understand at all; she was afraid of her.
"Onee-sama!" The little girl cheers wrapping her arms around Icis happily but Icis reels away not one bit enthused, "I am no one's 'Onee.'" Icis snaps harshly seeing the little girl's eyes well up with her words.
"You are not Rin's Onee-sama?"
"No." Icis says flatly standing letting the little girl sit on the ground tears slipping down her cheeks.
"Don't cry about it." Icis mumbles looking over her clothes and how muddy they are now with an irritated growl.
"You are Rin's Onee-sama!" The girl yells her tears still falling but her anger shining through as she tackles Icis and sits on her chest.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Icis growls her back aching from landing on a rock. The girl just curls into her chest nuzzling her breast making Icis's eyes widen in disbelief, "Stop Touching Me!" Icis yells pushing the girl off angrily hearing a growl from the monster that was observing the interaction.
Icis was suddenly on her feet looking into angry eyes being held off the ground by her throat strongly. Wrapping her small hands around the monster's wrist Icis tries to struggle but is held too firmly, "Do not treat this Sesshomaru's ward as such." The monster orders and Icis nods but falls to the ground gasping in air as she turns onto her stomach holding her neck.
'What is the point of this dream? To let me see my own death?' Rin moves to Icis's side touching her shoulder but is ignored until Icis's hair is pulled gently.
"What do you want?" Icis snaps her patience dissipated completely.
"Is Onee-sama alright?" Icis looks up at the little girl coldly, "Why wouldn't I be?" Icis asks her automatic response.
"Sesshomaru…choked Rin's Onee-sama." Icis sits up exhausted never had she met such a persistent little girl, "Why do you think I am your Onee-sama?" Icis asks softly her face downcast not showing her exhaustion.
"Because…you look like Onee-sama." Icis looks to the little girl seriously her eyes staring deeply into hers and exhales surrendering, "If I say I'm your Onee-sama will you let me go without that bodyguard of yours attacking me?" Icis asks weakly but hears Rin laugh, "No, Onee-sama will stay with Rin forever." To that Icis almost went mad but she controls herself and takes a deep breath, "How do you know I am your Onee?" Icis asks but gets her chin gripped and Rin's finger touching the mark on her neck firmly, "You always had that mark." Icis goes a bit still at that declaration, the little girl identified her by her birthmark? It's just a star anybody could have it.
"So your sister had the same mark?" Icis wonders lamely and Rin nods.
"How do you know someone else won't have the same mark as her? I have no other siblings my mother would have told me and if I did I would be the youngest. My mother died giving birth to me." Rin's eyes look a bit darker but she perks up again, "You could be her reincarnate! You aren't from this world right? Like Kagome?" Rin asks excitedly grabbing Icis's hands hopefully her eyes beaming.
"You know you're not like most kids I know most would leave me alone by now, why are you so persistent?" Icis asks annoyed, "Because Rin wants her Onee-sama to come live with her. Sesshomaru-sama said he would let you come and if you refuse will take you against your will." Icis's lip curled up at that baring an eyetooth and Rin looks startled.
"Is Onee-sama angry?"
"So…you plan on kidnapping me?"
"…Yes." Icis was on her feet glaring at both beings her anger spiking and her lip ticking wanting to snarl impolitely.
"Onee-sama…Rin has missed you…" Rin whispers making Icis's mind freeze when a strange feeling squirms inside her and she presses her hand to her temple annoyed.
"Why don't you just leave me alone?" Icis begs about to leave but goes wide-eyed when the monster advances toward her but she backs away avoiding him.
"Do not fight Sesshomaru-sama, he'll hurt you. Just…behave."
"Like hell." Icis growls jumping up into the tree then taking off through the branches needing to get away and fast. Sprinting like mad Icis dodges branches and trunks while trying not to slip and fall through the rain.
Making it to a clearing Icis glances around searching for a way to get away but yelps dodging when a clawed hand swipes at her angrily. Looking frightened at the tall man Icis scrambles back until she's trapped against something running out of running space.
Icis felt her body slam against a tree then land on the ground her back and ribs aching but forces herself to her feet. The monster advances making Icis look him in the eye her teeth bared angrily before she takes off right at him. Pushing at him as hard as she can Icis watches as the man falls to the ground flipping only to be back on his feet.
"Rin isn't related to me, leave me alone!" Icis snarls out her nose wrinkling and lips curling threateningly. The man jumps and lands behind Icis but yanks her about tossing her to the ground roughly popping something. Holding her shoulder Icis pants not believing the pain coming from her side and can't move without something screaming in protest.
'What's wrong with my side?' Icis wonders putting her hand over her rib but grows deathly pale when she feels a small lump. 'He…broke my rib…' Rin runs into the clearing followed by some weird goblin looking thing and Icis struggles to stand when she runs her way.
"Don't touch me!" Icis screams her anger over the top glaring at Rin holding her side hatefully.
"Rin did not want Sesshomaru-sama to hurt you!"
"I don't care you're an incompetent little brat who doesn't know when to give up! Leave me alone and let me go back home already!" Icis snarls her teeth gnashing while she talks.
The man moves toward Icis but she smacks his hand away when he reaches for her being glared at before Icis forces herself up tears welling in her eyes at the pain.
"Onee-sama."
"My name is Icis, I am not your Onee-sama, I-."
