Edo
Got bored and wrote this little thing, something about future and past meeting is just interesting and I like the whole cyborg OC, so I ran with that, no pairings, no fluff, just a little tiny adventure and how Sesshomaru's company adds one more. I own nothing.
Lying on the ground I could hear the birds chirping and flying in the air, the summer crickets making their sounds and the warm breeze cool me down only for a short period of time, as the sun had been blaring down on me while I slept, however long of short it was. I felt pain as I was on pebbles, sticks and I could feel the itchiness of lying on grass, the sky blue and only a few puffy white clouds were out. I moved my head to each side only able to see I was in a clearing and wooded trees were around, it was nice barren from human touch and, there was nothing civilised about the place, not in the distance and not in smell or sound, so just where was I?
I stood looking in every direction, not seeing any paths or identifying object, I couldn't tell North from South or East and West, I looked up to the sun, was I even in my home country or world. The plants looked familiar as did the animals but they weren't native to my country so instead I chose a random path and began to walk, I paused when I heard a shrill noise and then a child voice, a girls specifically. I paused looking to my left where it was coming from, it was not dense with tress, grass or rocks but still I could see no one, something was not right, I looked up to the flying birds and noticed they flew away as if a storm was coming. My sixth sense reared its head and I jumped into a defensive position to face a tall man with long white cascading hair, wait he was no man, he had golden eyes like golden liquid, magenta stripes on his cheeks, claws and a blue crescent moon on his forehead, he wore a silk robes that I recognised as Japanese and not modern, they were white with red designs, he also wore armour, with a sword and a massive fluffy boa on his shoulder that fell behind him.
His gaze was dangerous, he was assessing me as if I was a threat, and I could tell from a look at him that he was similar in body as a human but I had never seen someone like him, have I come back to the past, something seemed off, as he took in my own looks and attire. I wore my army printed pants with belt, that had my gun in it and a pouch of ammo, along with my knives, I had combat boots and a singlet I had my gloves on and a combat flacked jacket zipped up, my long blond hair was tied up and my blue eyes piercing him, not leaving him as he was a potential threat. My mission was to find out where this lead so here I was facing something specific and in a strange land, I remembered the scenario's the portal could lead to a different time, place, planet or alternate universe, I was going to say planet or universe seeing as no being such as this one existed in my world. My finger twitched to my throwing knives placed in my belt, they were nice and nimble with a finger ring hole to allow other ways of use.
"Calm yourself human, if you attack this Sesshomaru will dispatch you from your life early," he seemed to not be on guard in the slightest, 'did he just talk about himself in third person? And as if he could kill me, that would be humorous, I was immortal un-killable, shit I already lived a thousand years another thousand would seem like nothing. I stood up straighter dropping my stance "So you are Sess-ho-maru?" "What is it to you human?" so he seemed to not be human 'well duh' "I was just clarifying that you introduced yourself as Sesshomaru, and you are a…?" I held the 'A' in my question so he could answer but he didn't seem to clue on, it was then that I heard the two voices from before. "Insolent child, get back here Rin!" "Rin wants to see if Lord Sesshomaru is fighting," I saw a little girls head pop up from behind a boulder followed by another weird green toad being that was making the terrible squawking sound.
It did not go lost on me that they were speaking Japanese, once said Sesshomaru spoke I instantly identified this and used the language instead, "a child…who also speaks in third person…and a toad?" another two heads popped out they were a scaly beast with large yellow eyes they seemed to be muzzled as I then heard the first two speak up "a woman?" "A wench!" I frowned at the talking toad but the girl spoke up "Lord Jaken don't be so rude."
During this time Sesshomaru stood across from me, I finally turned my eyes back to him, it was hard to see what he was thinking he had the perfect poker face, he would be amazing to take to Vegas so long as he knew how to count cards and gamble. He spoke once more "you seem to be confused human and you have not introduced yourself yet," his words were accompanied by the toad saying "how rude, a lowly human should bow to Lord Sesshomaru…" "Jaken!" his voice was of warning and the toad shut up immediately. "You are right I am a little confused, I had no knowledge of where I am, and you look like no being I have seen before, may I ask of your species?" He seemed to access me, "I am Lord Sesshomaru lord to the Western lands which you are within; I am an Inu Daiyokai." He stopped there as if I was meant to know what all that was, I know Inu was a dog and Yokai meant demon so he was a dog-master-demon, is that right? "You still do not present your name?" I then snapped back to reality "oh right I am Fiona Hawley, I just woke up in the clearing not too far from here, I went through a strange portal." The little girl spoke up "do you mean the well?" "Shut up Rin" the toad spoke up, I looked to them and frowned "I know nothing about a well, all I know was I went through a portal and woke up in a clearing."
The girl then bounded over to Lord Sesshomaru's side and said "my lord perhaps Lady Kagome can help, after all this lady seems to dress strange too and speaking of portals…" he looked down to her as she smiled up to him. He nodded "perhaps Rin is right, but you have not told me what you are Lady Fiona," I raised a brow as he spoke once more "you do not smell like a human typically does, the stench of death does not cling to you as it does a human of normal life, you however have it as I do, with it staining your hands." I was able to decipher his way of speaking much annoyingly "ah yes, that is because I am a cyborg, where I come from things are 'advanced' so I was made possible, not the only one of my kind but also rare, we are technically humans who transition into a being without mortal bounds, we never die." I spoke the way he would best understand, they seemed old fashioned and I wondered if perhaps I went to the past or maybe the world or universe I went to was behind in knowledge.
He nodded "are you telling this Sesshomaru that you will not expire if I am to dispatch you head from your body?" we both heard the girl gasp and Jaken to look surprised "that is correct Lord Sesshomaru, I cannot be killed, I will always heal rapidly, however it still is painful." The Lord turned away and began to walk as the two headed thing that was still over in the bushes came out and low and behold it was a two headed beast that looked like a wingless dragon. The little girl came over pulling on my hand "come on, let's go, we follow Lord Sesshomaru," I say she is young but I think more like 12 or so, "I am Rin, this is Jaken he is a imp demon and this is ah-un a dragon demon" she had pointed to each head that had an individual name. I nodded to each "nice to make your acquaintance." Jaken spoke up "just keep up human," "I am not a human you can refer to me as a cyborg." The said Imp demon made a noise and turned his head up to the sky as if he was too high and mighty to do so, "don't mind him he is always like that." The two headed dragon walking behind us sniffed me and both heads inspected me curious, I turned an eye to it and lightly placed my hand out to it, "is it alright if I touch you uh and un?" they seemed surprised to be spoken to as intelligent beings, as I stopped the others had too, it moved its head to my hand slowly as I lightly touched its smooth scales, and then the other head came over doing the same as one was shy the other seemed impatient but both were kind, I also noticed their herbivore teeth meaning they were grass eaters.
We carried on and soon the lord stopped and the other two ambled off to do things without anyone saying a word, the sun was setting and I was confused, I watched with my sights becoming night vision and infrared able to see where they went and what they were doing, picking up their heart beats and everything else about their bodies. I stood like a guard as the dragon waited nearby, I stayed standing while the lord who I could tell wanted to sit but didn't possibly because I was there. I moved my hands to my belt and within a flash a sword was to my throat, "be careful with what you do next," I smiled a little "no need to be so wound tight Lord Sesshomaru, I am simply removing my belt, so I can sit down, if I don't all the items press into my stomach and become uncomfortable." He lowered his sword putting it away as quickly as he whipped it out, I unbuckled it and dropped it to the base of a tree as I too sat down, I watched the girl digging in the ground and realised she might have been trying to secure food for dinner. I stood once more and walked off towards her, "Rin?" she jumped looking behind herself "ah you startled Rin," I smiled "I apologise, I was seeing what you were doing."
"I am pulling up potatoes you see," I nodded looking off to see Jaken getting fire wood, "and what else for dinner?" she paused well normally we catch fish however there is no stream nearby…" I looked off in the distance seeing a nest with a pheasant bird in and three eggs, "do you like pheasant?" she smiled "yes of course, but it is getting dark they do not fly at night," I nodded "at night they go to their nests where they are all but defenceless." I looked up seeing the bird, "but this one has three eggs it is protecting, do you want it Rin?" She looked sad, "if the bird is eaten then the eggs will die, if we take the bird we might as well take the eggs, but…" I nodded at her sound thought "does Lord Sesshomaru and Lord Jaken eat as well Rin?" She nodded "they do, but lord Sesshomaru does very rarely, do you Lady Fiona…?" I smiled "you may call me Hawley Rin, and I can however it is not necessary for me to attain nutrition, so should we take the bird and its eggs?"
The eggs sizzled on the flat stone rock I found and heated over the camp fire that I made a little stand out of with other rocks, I had cleaned it off, but I guessed dirt and such was not consider something gross in this time and land. I then plucked and cleaned the bird removing its head, and inners and I cut it down the middle and skewered it and cooked it over the flame slowly, I cut the potatoes in half's and we cooked them on the hard stone too as they frypan baked in a way. "You seem to know how to prep and cook food, plus hunt Lady Hawley do you do this often?" Rin looked up at me with big wondering eyes, I smiled "just Hawley is fine, and well hunting I took up once becoming a cyborg but food prep and cooking was something I did a lot as a human, I quite enjoyed cooking for others and providing." "Wow, Rin has only had eggs once," I looked at her in shock, "really?" she nodded at my shocked face "yes a farmer bought chickens and they had eggs, this Ren had enough Yen to purchase one and shared it with Lady Kaede it was yummy." I smiled at her, and nodded my head "so Yen is what your money here is called, much like in Japan," Sesshomaru spoke up "we are within the lands named Japan by the humans, you know this much which is interesting," I looked to him "I had thought so, as you all are speaking the language from here, plus Yen is the currency of said land, yous also wear the kimono and have the Katana swords hailed from this location too, I had thought so for a while but that had confirmed it. However demons are still something I am not accustomed to as a species, can yous enlighten this cyborg?"
Sesshomaru listened hearing all the knowledge Rin had on demons to this female cyborg, "wow that is amazing Rin thank you for sharing your knowledge with me, say who is this Lady Kagome yous plan on taking me too?" She smiled "she is a priestess and lives within the same village as Lady Kaede; she is also mated to Lord InuYasha." I had learned about him, he was a hanyo and half-blood related to Sesshomaru through their father. I nodded taking in her telling's of the village their people especially this priestess, they were holly beings who could fight and kill demons that was why they were so revered and she also mentioned Lady Kagome coming to their 'time' from the bone eaters well, she was technically from 500 years in the future and hence why they think my situation was similar. Once she calmed down and they all eat my lovely cooking they then settled down once I cleaned up the area and we were left with a nice little fire before us. Uh and Un had ate potatoes, Rin had a bit of everything as did Jaken, Sesshomaru refused and I had nothing, the two were able to have larger portions due to this, and relaxed with full bellies.
Sesshomaru spoke up "tell me Cyborg how does one go from human to what you are…what are the differences?" the others were sleepy from a nice hot dinner but still listened in "well I worked for the military, there was an accident where I died and smarter than normal humans with resources who kept an eye out for applicable humans who meet their criteria to be a cyborg are taken and 'experimented' on and changed, it takes a total of a year to complete the transition, it is intense and painful, not all live through it due to that. I am one of 20 the people or place that made us, own us and we do as we are told, so for eternity we are leashed. A cyborg has everything a human does, except can run fast, detect things, everything is sharper and easier to do, so hearing, sight, speed, strength and so on, we do not require sleep or sustenance but we still feel pain and emotions, the soul is still alive and we still work as our previous organic bodies did, we can also still reproduce and everything, but we are immortal, that's all I know."
"When you say owned what do you mean?" "Like a master, we must do as told, we can be forced if we do not comply, it is typically painful as well, think of it as a spell, they have a remote that can make us do as they wish," he frowned "You stated you came through a portal, was that of their doing?" I nodded "it is a mission to see where it goes, then to collect information and then find a way home," he narrowed his eyes "what do they intend to do once they find out?" I shrugged "I am not informed of these things, however if I do not return another will be sent," he looked at me as if again assessing me, "can their 'control' reach you here?" I frowned "I honestly do not know Lord Sesshomaru," "if you had the choice would you go back Hawley?" I looked to Rin who was watching me and I looked at the ground "I have lived for a very long time, I learned escape was inevitable, but I oh so wish for it," The nearly asleep girl smiled "then Rin thinks Hawley should reach for her dreams," I smiled at her "I'll think about it."
Sesshomaru watched her sit up awake, he was not comfortable enough with the strange being around yet, she smelled strange not bad, nor good, but different, she sounded and looked human, it was only sometimes she acted as a different being, such as when she looked off into the distance at specific things as if she could see people, turns out she could. Rin loved her and the little girl bonded easily with her, Jaken seemed annoyed with the extra presence but Uh-Un liked her too, fascinated by her. Sesshomaru watched as she stood like a statue looking up into the sky, and then along the terrain, "Lord Sesshomaru" she spoke suddenly and he made a light humming sound to let her know he heard her "there is a large storm coming, I believe we should take shelter," "does the storm scare one such as you Hawley?" "No Lord Sesshomaru, however heavy winds, cold rain and lightning is all dangerous for Rin to travel through," he paused knowing she was right, a simple chill could cause Rin to get sick, so he nodded his head stating he heard her just fine as they continued.
I sat against a tree with a large two headed dragon on my left, an Imp demon on my right and Rin within my lap, learning I could heat up my core body to warm them in the cold storm was not ideal for me but they were content, I also didn't miss the way Jaken pulled my right arm closer around his person. 'He would so deny this in the morning,' Sesshomaru had shortly left just before the storm hit, I had cursed him in my head, of course he would leave this shitty weather and his party for me to take care of, I had not been blind he didn't entirely trust me, possibly because I was something he had not encountered before. I leaned my head back and sighed I was beginning to tire, going so many days without sleep was not unheard off but still sometimes I would need to rest, I just had to make sure it wasn't tonight, I did not want something sneaking up on us.
I awoke abruptly when I heard the crack of something, I woke with a jolt, unable to move because I had a kid in my lap two dragon heads curled up on my side and a demon fully steeling my right arm. It was not raining anymore and the ground started to dry as the trees leaves dripped of the remaining water, a soft glow of a fire in front of me and one Sesshomaru across from me sitting against a tree, eyes closed. It had been the fire to make the crackling sound and then I relaxed "You had slept Hawley," I looked up to meet golden eyes "seems I did," he eyed me more and those on me, something flitted across his eyes but I couldn't tell what. There was only a few hours before sunrise and as much as I wanted to stand and stretch I couldn't, I sighed trying to go back to sleep which surprisingly was not as hard as I thought it would be, the added weight of 'friends' 'party' or 'acquaintances' depending on which one you are to ask was a welcomed delight, warm, weighted and covered by their beings I had felt safe for once in a very long time.
The warm sun was nice the next morning as I stretched, we had not eat the night before due to the storm, so Rin and I were at the stream to catch fish for breakfast. I never missed and we got quite a lot, seems the heavy rains from the night before brought many salmon from upstream, we had a few carrots for Uh-Un, one fish each for the Lords and then one for Rin. "Why don't you eat Hawley?" "why waste life on one who does not need it, besides I would need my digestive organs to work the food through my person and starting that all up is painful as well as stopping, that's why I do not hunger, because I have not eaten for such a long time, if I was to eat I would feel the pain of hunger once more." She seemed to understand a bit, she accepted it as I beheaded and scaled the fish and cleaned my knife in the river; I also cleaned myself up after cooking their breakfast over the fire. I stripped off and submerged myself wetting my hair and body, it was nice and refreshing, plus I hated the natural dirty feeling especially with my hands from handling everything, I got out and heated my body up making everything glow beneath my skin.
I began to redress with my bra and undies then pants and singlet, I pulled on my shoes lacing them up quickly, I pulled on my jacket but kept it open and pulled my hair back and applied my belt, I returned just as all were ready to leave. I had noticed someone on the out reacher's of my system sensors; I turned as I was sure someone was following "something the matter Hawley?" Rin asked as the rest looked to me, "I swear I can sensed something just where my senses can reach, I think something is there and the next second it is gone, it is annoying." The party stayed silent as they looked to Lord Sesshomaru "what is it?" I frowned "well it can move quickly, seems to know when it's detected."
We all paused and looked to our Lord to make a decision, "we continue," Rin was sitting up on Uh-Un's back, we arrived to a human village, and they seemed to look at us in wonder murmuring between them, some going inside their small little huts. I could tell that they were so not advanced with very little progress and not much in technology or knowledge, I heard them say 'demon' and rush away, apparently demons were not something considered good, nice or safe. I had detected whatever it was a few more times on our trip, it entirely disappeared when we got close to and entered the human village, we were not stopping though, as I looked at the centre water well, and a few small stands of fruit and veggie, there was someone with bread too, I found it amazing that they had that.
We left and were apparently only a few days away from the village that homed InuYasha and Lady Kagome, we sat up camp once more, I prepped dinner for them, something that I found like a normal routine while catching and hunting I taught Rin a few little snare traps that were easy to set up. Rabbit was easy and tender to prep, I noticed that Lord Sesshomaru eat only once since we met and that was not a lot, I had felt that being on the edge of my senses once more, but it stayed, I felt another very similar show up 'so there is two of them,' Sesshomaru stood up "keep an eye on Rin, I'll be back later."
Rin sat between my legs as I sat with a stick drawing the world map in the dirt, "this is Asia, this is Europe, this is Africa, and here is Russia, in America there is also Canada and Mexico there is also Australia, Antarctica…" I continued to map out as much as I could, "and here is where we are," I pointed the stick to a very small little island on the far East of Asia she gaped "it is so small compared to the rest of the world!" I smiled "the world is a very vast place, between all of these lands are large Seas and Oceans, now imagine wrapping this map around a ball and you have our planet Earth." She looked at me perplexed "what else do you know?" I smirked "I think we don't have time for me to tell you all I know but I will tell you about our solar system," she looked intrigued so I continued. "Okay so in the middle of our solar system which is called the Milky-way is a sun, or better yet a solar star, it has a gravitational pull and keeps all the other planets and moons within the milky-way within their rightful place. Mercury is the first planet and the closets to the sun as well as smallest only being slightly bigger than our own moon, it is uninhabited reaching hot temperatures in the sun and freezing cold temperatures at night, it has neither moon nor rings around it."
I drew the sun, planets and the rings they gravitate on as she looked up to the moon for comparison to the planet Mercury I mentioned, "It's small," I nodded "it only takes 88 Earth days for the small planet to experience a year, here we have 365 days for a year. The next is Venus it is the hottest planet in the Milky-way and is a volcanic like world, it spins anti-clockwise to the rest of the planets, it also it the closes neighbouring planet to us and similar in size. Then there is us we are the third planet from the sun, we have a moon as you know, the moon reflexes light because the sun on the opposite side of the planet right now shines on it and it bounces that light down to us." She was mesmerised as I drew a little diagram for each thing I spoke off, it was then Sesshomaru returned after dealing with what was on the edge of my sensors, he sat down not saying a word as I continued. "Humans managed to travel to the moon and stand on it, its gravity is a lot less so it's easy to bounce around and enjoy one's self, however there is no oxygen or ozone layer," "Ozone layer?" she tilted her head and I nodded "many planets have some sort of unseen protection layer, ours is there to keep oxygen in, what we breath, it also reduces the UV rays from burning us and the surface of the Earth, the sun could easily destroy this world with its solar rays, but the ozone layer keeps that from happening. Oxygen is made by the trees; we and other animals including fish breathe it in and then breathe out carbon dioxide the trees breath in the carbon dioxide to produce oxygen." "But fish swim in the water, don't they breath water?" I smiled "in the water is air bubbles their gills breath in water and the air bubble, they only take in the air bubbles though if that makes sense, so that is why they can live a little while out of water, they just can't breathe the way creatures with lungs do, gills work in a different way."
I continued on telling her what I knew about the planets and their interesting facts telling her about their moons, rings, gasses and specialties about them, also some of the star constellations and the stories behind them which I had no clue if was real or not, but it was interesting. She finally fell asleep against me as I leaned back a bit more so she wouldn't be sitting up asleep, Sesshomaru spoke up "human's seem so advanced in the future, you know about our worlds complexity, vast lands and oceans and then far beyond that of the stars and moons," I looked to him nodding "we also have seen other universes but can't go there or get there, travel in space is not fast nor easy," "has one of your kind travelled to another world yet?" I shook my head "it would make sense to send us as we will live till we get there but strangely no we have not, Mars takes five years to go to , and is the closest to being similar to Earth in living capabilities, it doesn't bother me anyway."
I woke up and by now Rin was asleep by my side, I had slept once more, it seems I am very comfortable around these people and demons but it was all subconscious, I slowly rose and stretched "where are you going?" I looked over to the Lord, he had his eyes closed but was obviously still awake "to procure breakfast," he hummed his answer as I left. Rin had set up a snare the night before to see if she could get something for breakfast today and low and behold something was within it. It was small looked like a kitten and had two tails with large eyes it mewled, "aww sorry little guy," I released it giving it pat on the head to which it purred, I stood up and looked around noting a fox, some early birds getting up, a large cat in the distance, a bear demon asleep, a small pack of wolves only 5 off them, and there was a doe and her baby. "Well seems like bambi will be dying today," I pulled out my knife and dashed forward, the mother dear hearing me, dashed off but its young not alert or fast enough.
I walked back with a fully cleaned and gutted bambi as I held it from the legs, I spit it and cooked it over the fire, which I made larger to cook quicker, I then got up once more "I'll be back shortly," I knew I saw a few tomatoes and potatoes and carrots, it was times like this I wish we had a basket to help collect all the wild food. I used my jacket as I got apples, berries, oranges, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes and a pumpkin, I found a lettuce and then thought I had enough for a healthy breakfast, I returned only after washing them all in the nearby river. I cut them and prepared them, giving an apple to Uh and a carrot to Un and then looked to the old lord who watched me. Soon enough the sun rose and I cut bits off the dear, "do you want breakfast Lord Sesshomaru?" he seemed to think about it, but got up collecting his take only after the others, a small ruffle in the bushes had us all looking towards it, the little kitty I got out of the snare fell out ungracefully. "Ah is that…?" "no, it is not her just a different one," Sesshomaru spoke up I was a little confused and said "it got caught in the snare and I released it, seems to be hungry," I looked to him for permission, he eyed it for a while "do as you please," Rin all but was a bubbly ball, the kitty came over eating some dear before settling in a comfortable place taking in all those around it.
It walked behind us for a while, not knowing what its best option was, either to stick with us or not, I had cut up and wrapped the rest of the food for a lunch, Sesshomaru had informed us that we should be arriving just before sunset. It had seemed I arrived just before summer hit, because it was incredibly hot, I had a hand risen above my head to cut off the sun blaring into my eyes. I quit wearing my jacket a long time ago, my weapons were always on except for camping, I rolled up my pant legs, and I cooled down my core, I could only go lower by a little because I was moving around and directly in the sunlight. I put my hair up in a very high ponytail to keep it off of my neck and I noticed Rin was not doing so well, even poor Jaken was hot as hell and he stank when sweating. I huffed "how much longer," he paused and looked back to all us sweating our arses off "Rin do you need lunch?" she was too happy to agree "yes my lord," we sat in the shade as we mainly cooled down, everyone ate but Sesshomaru and I, I scanned along the terrain hoping to find a fresh water river or something, there was one up ahead on the pathway to our destination going through the forest.
"There is a fresh water river along the way," Sesshomaru nodded "This Sesshomaru is aware of this," "perhaps I can break off and get fresh water while yous continue, I won't fall behind," he looked over to Rin and nodded. I learned along our journey that Sesshomaru only did things for her, like rest, camp, just so happened to come upon food, or a river, he didn't seem capable of saying no to her but never actually said yes either, he was a softy at heart when it came to her, if I didn't know any better I would think she was his daughter alas that was not possible; they shared no DNA. We were packed up, I collected the leather water pouch that was Rin's, near empty, "want to have the last of it before I refill it?" she had it and passed it back as I walked off to my left, it was not far at all, I filled her water sack and corked the lid before dunking my head into the water and really had to hold myself back from just jumping in, I could, I would dry quickly, I dropped my belt and dove in. Fully submerged and got out reapplying my belt and then collecting the drinking sack. I ran off to catch up, I came up behind them nearly dry from running and the sun, only just damp, "here," I passed it to Rin "oh thankyou Hawley."
He wasn't wrong we arrived just as the sun was setting and for the first time that day a nice cool breeze swept over us, I sighed as did Uh-Un, Jaken and Rin, Sesshomaru seemed unaffected by it and I found myself envious. A man looking similar to Sesshomaru dropped down from a tree "thought I could smell you…who's that, another human?" I raised an eyebrow but then heard a woman call out "InuYasha be kinder, hello Sesshomaru and Rin," said little girl hugged her, "your pregnant?!" she seemed excited and I watched as the two seemed to act as sisters meanwhile the actual brothers acted like they were going to fight, well InuYasha did however Sesshomaru was aloof and ignored him. "So who are you?" he questioned me with a frown but Rin spoke up "this is Rin's new friend Fiona Hawley, she fell from a portal from the future just like you Lady Kagome and we thought you could help her return?"
Hearing her say that I could possibly return really made me pause as I knew that the hesitance in my person was me desiring not to go back, especially if they could not use their control on me. I noticed Sesshomaru looking at me from the corner of his eye; I meet his and he looked at me, huffed and looked away as if I was stupid or something.
We camped outside once more Rin stayed indoors with Lady Kaede who was really old for this era; I learned that Kagome is originally from 500 years in the future, she travelled through using a magical jewel that she was born with inside of herself seeing as she was a reincarnation of the priestess who protected it once. She ended up passing school while journeying and taking down the jewel and Naraku and was forced back to her time but after three years she returned choosing to stay. She matted and married InuYasha and was just waiting to have their first baby, she was so close to giving birth, she stated the bone eaters well was not working once she crossed over but that I was welcome to try.
I sighed not needing to cook tonight as Kagome cooked veggie and meat stew with rice for all, I had informed them that I was actually from further into the future, Kagome originally came here in the 1990's and I was from 3000's she was shocked and I told her I was a cyborg. She showed she knew what the concept was mainly because they were in movies, manga's, animes and books as technological advanced humans, however she was still surprised human's managed to make them. I nodded; the others listened in "have yous gone to other planets yet?" "we have space stations of course, the moon is a mayor one but we also are looking at Mars, some issues came up such as the five years of travel, the world has changed a lot, people live within the ocean or on it, we are extremely eco-friendly everything is electric and power if produced by nature such as water, wing, solar you get the gist, we cleaned up the oceans, our ozone was cleaned up and we no longer have new clear reactors or coal burning factories." I realised I had so much more to tell her but she looked so shocked "wow so everything is going so well?" I shrugged "politics are still stupid as fuck," I rolled my eyes "also there is still food issues, so we created out own non-meat-meat, and we also have a population difficulty hence living on the seas and space, while we have done better for the planet we don't have enough food or room, and apparently genocide is not a good thing," I sighed as if I didn't see why, cause I didn't.
"Right…so doing better just need room and food, not the worse issues though," I nodded to her words "yeah, so anything else you want to know?" "demons?" she asked and I shook my head "not that I am aware off sorry, I only meet Lord Sesshomaru and that was how I became aware of his species and you in your time?" she shook her head a negative, "I'm not sure if they are just that good at blending in or if they cease to exist, but I doubt Sesshomaru would be dead from an opponent or old age in 500 years so I look at it with optimism that they are still around just out of view so to speak." It was sound thoughts and ideas, I looked to Sesshomaru out in the forest obviously listening and watching, the others had left me to speak with the young priestess. "So is this your first?" she nodded with a bright smile "yeah I am nervous," I saw worry and I understood that there were many issues that could happen in this era, the pregnancy mortality rate being higher than in the future.
"I understand your worries, but the calmer and less stressed you are the easier it will be for you hip bones to soften up and part making an easier birth, keep that in mind," she nodded "I didn't know that," I smiled "yeah not many do, also if you want to prevent tearing it is wise to use an oil or slick substance to slowly stretch out you skin preventing damage during birth, in this day you can easily get an infection and expire that way." She nodded thinking of what she could use, "I am eight months in and I suppose better late than never, say have you had children before Fiona?" I frowned "ah no, I simply know all this kind of stuff is all," "can you have children with your…I mean being what you are?" I smirked "you mean a cyborg?" she nodded not wanting to offend "its fine and yes I can," "wow so why haven't you?" 'oh boy here it was,' "well I am immortal, so my partner would die and then my children, what I am is not possible of transferring to the children so it isn't wise to do so," "aww I'm sorry to hear that, so wait can't you just I don't know end your life when you want to?" I could tell by the look on her face she didn't want to suggest it but it had to be said.
"I will never die even if killed as I heal, so I am going to exist forever, I am already over a thousand years old Kagome," she paused and looked shocked and looked to InuYasha who was calling bullshit. I smirked "think whatever you want little hanyo but I am, "isn't it…exhausting…depressing or something like that?" I paused knowing what she meant and I nodded "humans are not meant to live such long lives, so yeah you get upset mentally, depressed emotionally and spiritually you want to 'move' on so to speak but your body is 100% and you end up 'hardening' to deal with all the deaths and bad things and your mortality seems to slowly leave your train of thought and the idea of eternal existence is…. acceptable to a certain degree."
"How is your memory" "on point, I hold loads of memories, information and anything else needed," she continued with her questions "were you 'Fiona Hawley' in your human life?" I frowned "okay so I said I had spot on memories right?" she nodded and I thought hard "but the memory of being human is a little difficult to account correctly or chronologically as it was when my brain was not structured like it is now," she nodded waiting for my answer "I do not know it could be a different name," she frowned "huh do you dream?" I nodded instead of answering "do you eat" InuYasha called out "I can but I prefer not to."
"What about the people who transformed you?" "the company are very big, strong, influential, they are also…powerful, they like to prevent cyborgs of doing as we wish, after all we are the strongest things on the planet, and we will be forever, no way of them being able to kill us, so instead they control us, we are unable to do as we please, I think the enslavement of us is the reason why we find it so hard to conform to immortality, if we were able to do as we please such as lead, revolutionise, train, teach, collect knowledge and go beyond the stars then we would accept it. After all most of us are previously trained marines, navy and cadets, we all were good people choosing to do good for the countries and the world so it's not like we would go around mindlessly killing." She nodded a little and then yawned and I looked at her stomach seeing the baby head down feet up, kicking into her ribs as she made a little noise, I could see it was a boy. "I should let you rest Kagome, I'll do as you said and attempt to return," "do you want to go back?" She must have noticed my 'excitement' I shrugged "no skin of my back if I don't return."
We all stood looking at the old wooden well now over grown with bushes and vines, "Rin wants to say goodbye," I looked down to Rin and her large puppy dog eyes, 'no wonder Sesshomaru can't say no to her.' "I may not be going anywhere this is just to see," she hugged me "regardless Rin would be upset if you leave without a proper send off," I smiled patting her head. I got up on the wooden edge as I jumped in landing on the dirt ground, I looked up "it's not working," I bent launching upwards with a jump, landing back on the edge and looking back down, "oh well, we tried," I stepped down and Rin hugged me "Yay does that mean you will be staying with Rin?" I raised a brow and looked to Sesshomaru in question "do as you please cyborg," "I guess so," "yay, we are going to make so many flower crowns," I sighed 'what did I get myself into?'
