The Unexpected
The Sleeping girl
I walked threw a clearing with Jaken and Ah-Un. It was a clear day with no sign of rain I watched the surrounding is for threats. We walked through the forest in silent's that didn't bother this Sesshomaru, I enjoyed it.
"Lord Sesshomaru, where are we going?" The toad, Jaken, asked.
"Home." I told him, as I continued forward. At sunset it started to rain, I found a cave soon after to take shelter. It was dark in the cave but I could see as if it was a sunny day inside the cave.
We went further into the cave then needed. As we came future in, we saw a blue light in the back of the cave. I went ahead to find an ice block. What was in it is what surprised me. There was an eight year old human child. Her black hair would be at her hips, her skin was pale. Her hands over her ears and her legs to her chest, wearing an ice blue kimono.
Jaken started a fire, as I watched the child thinking, 'how did she get in there? Who is she and where was her family?' This kid was more like me then I would admit to. She was alone and her parents had abandoned her. She was frozen in time and would never change. The fire lighted and warmed the area. The unearthly light from the ice was the only thing out of place.
The next morning, we went to the western lands to rest. I went to the elderly maid to ask about the girl I had seen in the cave.
"Do you know about the girl in the cave south-east of here?" I asked.
"Yes, the girls name is Siya. She was the daughter of a good friend. She has been there for a thousand years. She hasn't wake-up since the horrible accident." The old women said.
"What accident?" I said.
"There was a build-up of ice in the back of the cave my friend and Siya were in. Siya was playing in the back of the cave when their was in avalanche. My friend heard a scream and ran to her daughter's side but it was too late. When my friend found her, she was in the block of ice." She explained.
"Thank you for your time." I said and walked away. I walked to the dining hall, where everyone in the castle were sitting and waiting for me. That night, I thought about her story. I stood up and walked to her cave. The stars twinkled as I walked to my destination. (It is about 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning at the moment.)
By the time I reached the cave, the sun was coming up. I walked to the back of the cave that was lighted by the soft blue light from the ice. I sat near the block of ice and looked up at her. Being in this cave was very calming to me. Her presents made me feel like I was no longer alone, that she was somehow there. I thought to what the old maid had told me.
'There was a build-up of ice in the cave my friend and Siya were staying in. Siya was playing in the back of the cave, when there was an avalanche. When my friend found her, she was in the block of ice.'
I heard a sound like shattering glass or the sound a canon makes when it is fired at the opposing force. I looked up to see that the ice had cracked. I stood up a second before the ice burst. The girl was falling, I jumped up and caught her, landing where I had stood. Then ran towards the entrance.
