A/N: well, just felt like putting this. Its an odd story I came up with when trying to fall asleep...so its going to be messed up. Anyways, read and review or I'll send my army of flaming gerbils after you.
Curse of Three Chapter 1: The CurseThree normal looking girls walked around a creek that was full of odd assortments, trash included. They decided that today they needed to get away from everyone they called "family". One girl, with red hair, clapped her hands and said a silent "thank you" to the sky above as she was reminded that she got away from the nut house that was her family.
"Say Skye...do you remember that path being there before?" The other girl with the black hair asked the blonde.
Skye tilted her head and frowned.
"Nah It wasn't there before...should we go take a look Rayne?" Skye replied with her own question.
Rayne looked to their last friend and smiled mischievously.
"So what's your take on all this Kat?"
"Hmm...Why not? I mean, it's just a path." Kat replied lightly before adding the sarcastic remark, "What harm could come from wondering down yonder path?"
Rayne looked back and forth between her friends and the path, she was about to start walking towards it when the sweet melody of her mothers ring tone went off on her cell. She sighed deeply as she fumbled with the cell phone pressing the "talk" button with an aggravated whine.
"Yes Mother?" Rayne said into the phone.
"Are you girls going to be back in time for lunch? We're ordering pizza." Rayne's mom, Caroline, said.
"Guys pizza?" Rayne asked her friends.
The both looked at her and nodded.
"No we wanna eat dirt! Of course we want Pizza!" Skye said with a smile.
"Yes, we'll be home in about twenty minutes...yeah see ya soon...love you too! Gheeze mom I'm not a kid!" Rayne yelled into the phone then hung up.
Kat sighed and tucked a piece of hair away as Skye continued to walked over to the path that just appeared, or at least seemed to have just appeared.
"Rayne...? I think something got Skye's attention again..." Kat pointed out towards said person as Skye started to reach out for something unseen.
"HEEEYYY! SKKKYE!" Rayne yelled out to the blonde girl.
Skye turned with a smile and then slipped into the water behind her. Both of the other girls smacked their foreheads and sighed deeply as they went to pull their now saturated friend from the dirty creek water.
"Ewwwwwwwwwwww..." Skye said in disgust as she was pulled from the water and removed a stray piece of moss from her head.
"At least now you look like your thoughts," Kat smiled sweetly. Skye looked at her and glared while Rayne was still laughing quietly.
"You guys lets go home, I want Pizza now..." Rayne said and started home leaving her friends behind.
Kat started to fallow while Skye continued to ring out her clothing, muttering insane things that neither really wanted to hear. Both were almost out of view by the time the wet blond picked up on the fact that her friends were leaving for food.
"HEEEYYYYYYY GEEETTTT BACK HEEERE!" Skye yelled to her so called friends as she ran after them.
While Skye ran to catch up the other two were walking along the dirt path that lead back to the streets and to the "civilization" of Cottonwood California...if you could call it that.
"I hate this town," Kat sighed wistfully, balancing on the thin divider of concrete that separated the more wild life area from the rural town.
"And you think I don't I mean come on look at this place compared to where I moved from!" Rayne practically shouted.
Skye just caught up with them, huffing for effect as she looked at her friends. "Meanies..."
"Six year old," Kat countered easily.
The group of girls continued the short walk to the Harley Davidson shop which, Rayne lived underneath. When they finally reached the door the aroma of melted cheese and hot tomato sauce reached their noses.
"YAY! PIZZA!" Skye chimed in as she pushed past Rayne and Kat to get to the food first.
Rayne and Kat looked at her strangely for a moment before shaking their heads sadly. Both followed, but at a more sane pace then their excited friend. Grabbing a slice was easy, as was the next and next...it was just when both Rayne and Skye tried to grab the last slice that everything fell out of the perfect picture that was created.
"You already ate half the pizza Skye..." Rayne said calmly as she slowly moved her hand towards the last slice.
"Well you're older then me so that means you don't need it as much...I'M STILL GROWING!" Skye countered.
"EXACTLY WHY I WOULD NEED IT MORE I'M BIGGER!" Rayne yelled back successfully grabbing the last slice and stuffing it in her mouth as Skye pouted and pretended to start crying.
"Hey Skye...Rayne...stop acting like Shippo and Inuyasha." Kat said as if they were little children, making the tsking noises and everything.
As they calmed down Kat picked up a small plate to her side and passed a spare piece of pizza to Skye mumbling, "I knew this was going to happen..."
"So, what do you guys want to do now?" Rayne asked taking the empty plates to the sink and rinsing them off.
"Umm...I know! Let's watch Pirates of the Caribbean!" Skye said with excitement as dirty thoughts of Johnny Depp passed through her mind and she blushed.
"Pervert," Kat told her friend with a soft slap to the back of Skye's head. Yet despite that all three teenagers got ready for the movie; Skye grabbed the movie with haste, Rayne got ready the TV and VCR, and Kat grabbed some drinks.
An hour later you could find Skye talking with Captain Jack Sparrow's lines. Over and over again she would repeat "But why is the rum gone!" all throughout the movie. After about the fifth time she did it, Kat started to mimic her...going so far to pull her hair up and start moving as Skye moved.
All the while neither Rayne, Skye nor Kat had notice Rayne's mother's friend come in. The woman stood at an even six foot, with long brown hair and deep purple eyes. Next to her stood a small boy about the age of six with platinum blond hair and green eyes.
"Excuse me girls." The woman started out but was interrupted with Skye screaming "BUT WHY IS THE RUM GONE?" as Kat mimicked her and Rayne yelled as the little child tried to sit on her lap "GET AWAY FROM ME BRAT!"
All of this happened at once, causing the hairs on the back of the woman's neck to raise. This had happened every single time they saw each other, always at three...and always with the three of them.
"Enough!" Caroline's friend, Jezebel, yelled with frustration.
"Oh shut up, you old bat," Rayne tossed back with a slight growl. Then she went right back to her movie, ignoring both her mother and her friend. Kat looked up and smiled, before starting to mimic Skye's next outburst.
During this time Skye had yet to give her saying a rest, nor did she even acknowledge Jezebel and her son. That and the fact that she kept shouting at the boy, "But why is the rum gone?" That was the only recognition either foreign people got.
Jezebel shook her head in complete disgust. "It's time to teach you three a lesson!" She yelled into the loudness of the room as she lifted her hand muttering an incantation under her breath.
Suddenly time seemed to stop for the three girls as a surge of light was sent through their bodies. When everything resumed to the normal time movements the girls all turned to Jezebel silently. The woman smiled at them and then quietly walked away with Caroline and the boy.
"Uhh guys tell me I'm not the only one who felt that odd electric feeling go through my body just then." Rayne said looking at her hands in confusion.
They were outlined in a thin strip of magenta light before that faded. She was quick enough to see Kat outlined in a bright yellow and Skye in a matching red. However, it happened so suddenly that it seemed just a figment of her imagination.
"Umm...yes, it was just you," Kat said with an odd expression before rolling her eyes sarcastically.
"Hey just asking! Remember I'm the one with all the odd ended powers..."
"Who oddly ended up with my ghostly muses...by the way have I thanked you for that lately?" Kat smiled at the annoyed Rayne. If they were in an anime a throbbing vein would have appeared on Rayne's forehead.
Skye seemed to be left out of this little argument and compliments. She was still watching her movie...but she was now rewinding to her favorite part with an eager smile.
"Ugh...not again. Come on Skye I'm tired of hearing it." Rayne said slumping back down into the couch.
Skye turned around her green eyes burning with excitement as she pressed the play button with enthusiasm. The sound rang throughout the room, and before all eyes Skye's body was once again outlined in red.
"But why is the rum gone!" Captain Jack Sparrow bellowed on the TV pathetically.
Then something major happened, Skye's form started to shift rapidly. White and black furry hair sprouted out of her skin, bone's shifted, teeth grew, hands shifted to paws, back arched, she sprouted claws, ears traveled, and then the rest was way to quick to see even for them. Rayne and Kat both looked to their newly furry friend with amusement, shock, and confusion all at the same time.
"Skye went doggy." Rayne said laughing.
"-Hey what the heck is going on here? You guys got a lot taller...--" Skye said, however only Rayne and Kat seemed to understand her barking.
"you know, its like hearing two things at once..." Kat stated, trying to remember exactly what that barking sounded like. She looked at Skye and gave her a teasing smile. "You might want to ask your mom if you can spend the night at Rayne's."
Skye now on four legs instead of two trotted over to the full length mirror on the wall.
"-Hey Rayne when did you get a second dog?-" Skye asked.
"Umm as soon as Captain Jack Sparrow said 'But why is the rum gone...' uhh about a minute ago, then poof I had a new doggy. You know I think we may be able to win a few dog shows Kat."
"Yes, I do agree...I mean, what other dog would understand its mistresses so perfectly?"
Skye looked around the mirror's surface, trying to find out where she really was. Then she came to a conclusion as Kat came over and scratched her ear, repeating her earlier statement just for her.
"-Wait...what...? Who's touching me...?-" then she looked into the mirror to find Kat scratching the dog's ear. "What the! I'm a dog!"
"Nice..." both Rayne and Kat said, "Very smart."
"-But I'm a dog!-" the human turned dog whined out.
"wow...such an annoying bark..." Kat mumbled and rubbed her ears from Skye's outburst.
In the few moments after Skye's transformation she suddenly shifted back to human.
"That is so not fair...why do I change to a dog, how come you guys don't chan..." Skye started but before she finished the same little boy came running out of the room and jumped on Kat's back flinging his arms around her neck.
In a mere second Kat was outlined in a yellow aura, and then before anyone blinked she was a perfect double of the little boy who was now on her back while she had her face to the floor.
"Hey look! She is in the 'sit' position!" Rayne said with amusement.
"Very funny," Kat said and blinked as her voice wasn't the one that came out. No, it was that little blond haired boy's voice.
"Ut oh," she said looking at her miniature sized hands in fear. "NOOO, NOOO, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
The little boy, the original one, backed away in both fear and surprise. "I have a twin!" he said happily and started to dance around the girl-turned-boy.
"Okay so Skye turns dog, Kat turns into little boys, and uhh I don't know what curse I'll get yet..." Rayne started as the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it!" Skye said as she walked over to the door and opened it to a middle aged man who resembled the two little boys on the ground.
"You must be the kids dad." Rayne said, she was about to go on asking which kid was which but the man was suddenly on his knees next to her pledging his undying love.
"Twitch..." All three girls, one now a boy, said in unison.
"I say we go explore that path now." Kat said standing up to her new full height of 3 1/2 feet. She quickly ran to Rayne pulling her from the perverted man's grasp and the three ran out the door with haste.
It took another thirty minutes, seeing as Kat's small legs could not run as quickly as Rayne's or Skye's normal ones. Yet as they got there, there was something new about the place. This odd feeling of dread and excitement caused them all to peer further into the paths surrounding trees.
"Ahh I don't care, I would rather fall off the face of the earth then have to deal with old crusty man!" Rayne said and took off down the path.
The other two followed her, Skye now giving Kat a piggy back ride. However, before they got very far they all fell into a large black whole of swirling mist. Falling through the time space continuum they looked very bored as Kat transformed back into her normal, teenage, girl self.
"Hey guys...this black misty stuff seems familiar for some reason..." Rayne said as she rested her hands behind her neck and relaxed into a laying position.
For no reason apparent to the other girls Kat started to laugh, but quieted enough to give them an explanation on her thoughts. "Hole...black, windy...Miroku!" Kat said.
Rayne opened her mouth to reply but before she could they were all suddenly thrust out of the black, windy, tunnel. Falling onto an emerald green field of grass the girls opened their eyes looking up to a perfectly blue sky.
"You guys...where are we?" Skye asked.
Both Kat and Rayne looked around before answering, finding something -someone- very interesting. Black hair, brown eyes, purple and black monk's robes with a pretty staff thing.
"Miroku!" both Rayne and Kat shouted out in amusement before going over and poking him, inspecting the great look a like of Miroku's famous fighting staff. Each girl poked and prodded, checking for defaults as he stood there confused. Though you could tell that he was enjoying this, both girls really couldn't give a care as long as they found a fault in his costume.
"You know I think it may really be him." Rayne said with shock.
Before she said anything else though both her and Miroku were both outlined in the seemingly innocent magenta light.
"NOT AGAIN!" Rayne shouted.
Kat sniggered as Skye's mouth fell open in shock. A moment later Miroku gripped Rayne's hand with a question they knew so well on his lips. "Will you bare my children fair maiden?"
Rayne all the while stood there twitching, and after a second of realizing what the monk had just asked her she drew her hand across his face leaving a large red mark on the side of his cheek.
"NO!" She replied and ran to hide behind Kat. Her friend was not much of a help as she grabbed her hand and led Rayne towards the perverted monk again.
"She'd be happy to bare your children kind monk," Kat tucked away the insane laughter that wanted out when she saw Rayne's face.
"TRAITOR!" was the exclamation. Finally Skye got her wits back and cautiously went over to Miroku and looked at him inquisitively.
"Hey is it really you, are you really Miroku?" Skye asked Miroku.
Miroku looked to her and smiled, when he was about to reply Skye jumped on him showering him with kisses.
"I LOVE YOU!" She yelled triumphantly.
"Heh watch this!" Rayne said to Kat. "BUT WHY IS THE RUM GONE!" She yelled out laughing as Skye transformed into a dog again.
The dog whined pitifully, not even Rayne or Kat could understand it in human terms. Meaning, that was not a word or sentence...just a wordless morning. Then an idea came on them.
"Hey, Miroku...where's Kagome?" Kat questioned, looking around for any signs of others.
"Who is Kagome?" he asked in return.
"Miko...reincarnation of Kikyo...your friend...Inuyasha's lover, though neither really know it..." she counted on a few fingers.
"Not to mention the guardian of the Shikon no Tama..." Rayne mumbled under her breath.
"I don't know any Kagome, but maybe she resides in the village not to far from here. It's at the edge of this forest, actually..." he supplied, then his eyes gained a new edge, "But you should not wander such a dangerous path all by yourself. Surely you would allow me to keep you safe?"
"Only if you keep your hands to yourself monk." Rayne said coldly.
"NO! Keep them to me!" The now human-again Skye protested.
"Hey...weren't you just a dog?" Miroku asked quietly, noticeably confused by the dog-woman.
"Curse," Kat said as if it would explain everything. And in this time and place it did, at least it summarized it to Miroku. He looked at Skye oddly and took one step back as if the idea of a cursed lady frightened him.
"Can't handle more then one curse?" Kat teased and frowned. Then she realized something, "oops..."
"How did you know of my curse?" he clenched said hand defensively.
"Uhhh...we heard once of a Monk named Miroku who bravely defeated a horde of demons by using his cursed hand's power of the wind tunnel." Rayne replied trying to make it sound as if she appreciated him for the deed.
"Yes, and how an evil demon gave it to him...and how he must live with this burden," Kat added in, trying to leave the more important details out so he wouldn't get even more suspicious.
"I think we should go...now." Rayne looked into the sky and saw many demons coming. She wanted to find a sword, but hell there wasn't one at her side.
"Don't worry I will protect you with my wind tunnel!" Miroku shouted, however he got all the demons but one.
Rayne looked to the single demon and frowned.
"It has to have a human head!" She yelled as she took off in the direction of the scared tree leaving her friends to help the now worn-out monk.
"Oh man Deju vu?" Rayne yelled as she heard the laughter of her two friends.
Kat looked at Miroku skeptically before patting Skye's shoulder. "He's all yours now."
"WEEEEEEEEE!" Skye exclaimed happily as she grabbed Miroku in a tight hug.
"But...Why is the rum gone!" Kat did that just to torture the poor cursed teen. With a cry of betrayal Skye turned back into her white and black canine self.
"See you!" then Kat set out in a normal walk to find where the demon had chased Rayne to.
"Poor demon," she shook her head with sympathy when she thought about the situation.
It took a few minutes but the sight that she came upon was oddly familiar, except for a few things. A male centipede demon was wrapped around a tree as it squeezed Rayne harshly. Squished against the squashed teen was a male in a very red outfit reminding Kat exactly of Inuyasha. And all around were a bunch of villagers, notching arrows as they tried to free her friend.
"You know, all you have to do is pull that arrow," Kat reminded despite the old woman's protest against such a thing.
"You think! It's not as easy as you think!" Rayne growled.
"But Kagome could do it...and she was...well...an idiot at that time." Kat taunted.
So with that to goad her Rayne snapped her arm up and touched the arrow. She didn't even give it the time to evaporate before she plucked it from his shoulder. The bleeding arrow tip was the only thing that reminded Rayne that her act would have hurt her forced tree companion.
"Damn it! That hurt!" the voice of Inuyasha yelled out underneath Rayne.
"Sorry!" Rayne said as she laughed. "Now...get rid of this thing would you?"
"Why should I?"
"Because you're supposed to IDIOT!" Rayne had already begun the never ending cycle of bickering.
"How do you know this wasn't a trap!" he rebuked. Everyone else was ignored as they got into their heated debate.
"Because it just isn't!" Rayne yelled back as she reached up to Inuyasha's forelocks and pulled him to where he would pay attention.
"NOW LISTEN IF YOU DON'T GET US OUTTA HERE WE ARE BOTH GOING TO DIE YOU POMPUS FOOL!" Rayne yelled to the white haired teen.
It was then that the worst thing could happen. A magenta aura surrounded them both, but Rayne was to busy yelling to notice it. Inuyasha, on the other hand, had no problem seeing the light around Rayne...nor did he have a problem tilting her just enough for what he wanted more then anything at that moment.
Rayne broke away snarling in his face, teeth bared to the fullest and if she weren't human then her eyes would have bled red. "You Damn, Ignorant, Weak, Brainless, Fucking demon!"
Then a moment passed, "wait," she said cruelly, "you aren't just a fucking demon...you're a fucking HALF DEMON!"
As Rayne continued to yell at Inuyasha, the centipede demon looked up to the two of them confused.
"YOU HALF DEMON! STAY AWAY FROM MY WOMAN!" It yelled to Inuyasha.
"I AM NOBODYS WOMAN!" Rayne cried out. "Now if either of you really love me get me outta here!" She said giving into her curse for the time being.
On the sidelines Kat laughed when they didn't comply, "They don't love you Rayne...they just lust you!"
"I know that, but I can play on it!" her friend called back. "By the way, where's Skye?"
"I left her with Miroku..." a pause was all that Kat needed, "Oh shit."
After a second of not wanting to wait any longer Rayne started beating Inuyasha in the chest.
"Hurry it up!" She yelled to him.
With a sigh he cut the demon away from them and Rayne fell to the ground with a thud. What wasn't expected was for her waist to be cut in the process, so that was another thing Inuyasha got cussed at for.
"Damn you, you fucking cut my shirt!" she paid the fact that she was injured no mind and continued with her tirade of insults.
Kat whispered to herself, "Wow...maybe she does have a worse mouth than Inuyasha..."
All the while Inuyasha stood in place, trying to look elsewhere other then Rayne. Somehow she kept his gaze hostage, even as she continued to bleed heavily from her side. By the time she remembered to feel pain she was already blacking out. Thankfully Inuyasha caught her before she hit her head against the demon's remains. While Kat stood in the distance, Skye came walking back with Miroku. Both wore sheepish smiles and their cloths were out of place.
"Hi what did I miss?" Skye asked.
"Nothing much," Kat just assured, "Only Rayne almost dying, Inuyasha kissing her, a demon being killed, a funny string of cursing, and then Rayne passed out from blood loss. But don't worry, you hardly missed a thing!"
