Misplaced By Time
~ Chapter Two ~
A Priest Named Toji
By Inuyashas Youkai
A man soon appeared in front of the seething half demon in his devastation, and once his presence hadn't gotten the odd being 's attention , the priest spoke ..
"Greetings there , My name is Toji Higarashi ,and over there is my daughter Sori .. I watch over these grounds until they receieve the blessing for a shrine to be built here.. Is there something I could help you with lad , you look a bit lost ."
"What the fuck do you mean built ! Three days ago , and there's a shrine here ! Afterwards it fucking gone ! Now you tell me where in the hell could someone put a damn shrine , and how was it to be moved !"
Well . Inuyasha soon learned that priests didn't neccessary like being talked to that way , and surprisingly the old man did prove to have some powers back in his day when he punished him throughly with some well placed sutras . It soon was discovered that as soon as those sutras had taken effect , down the puppy went out cold , as the body of the hanyou still tingled with pure energy while his body twitched , and then the pup knew no more when the priest in not so many words claimed lights out.
Hours later it seemed , by nightfall , the hanyou arose to greet the amused gaze from the priest from earlier with that of a child next to him, and she was at the time lazily stroking his ears. Pinning a heated glare upon the girl , but still hadn't spoken so Inuyasha would not cause the man to throw more sutra's in his direction, but didn't feel the need to show his dislike for what had occured , by other means..
"Do you choose to be civil , yet demon!"
"Sorry ! All of this came to a surprise to me that's all ! I was looking for a friend , but somehow must have took a wrong turn because before when I jumped out of the well I always come to a damn shrine ! Now her and it are missing !"Inuyasha spat angrily
"My boy , you sure that you haven't taken too much of a liking to sake..? There hasn't been a shrine anywhere amongst these grounds , but there will be because I plan to have one erected , tho the grounds haven't been purified yet completely to sustain such as a shrine on these premises. "
"No ! I am sure , sake and me don't go together that well , so I tend to stay away from it as much as possible ..."
"Hmm.. Well my boy , do you have a place to go ? I'd offer you a place to stay , but I would think you would be more appeased if you were among your own kind .. Though I would welcome you back if you wish to see the shrine when its completed .."
"Yeah .. I guess so .. Well I'll be seeing ya old man .."Inuyasha stated , waving his hand carelessly , as he then stood, walking away towards the well..
' What the hell is going on ! I know what I saw ! If all of this is true , what does it mean for Kagome , I mean where is she ?'
The hanyou continued to walk , until he came face to face to the spot where the well once stood , but now it was gone. Releasing a ferious growl , Inuyasha stompped back towards the annoying old coot , and approaching him in order to offer his services until he could find a way out of this mess..
"Hey old man?"
"Hey look whos' back ! Wait! ? I am not a old man ! I am in my prime , my daughter even says so ..."
"Whatever but .. I would like to take you up on your offer , if I could ... Maybe I could help you somehow .."
"Sure but .. What's wrong , did you get thrown out of your village ?" Toji joked.
"Not exactly ..."
' More like trapped from my time...'
"Very well then, you may stay with us but you have to do whatever I say , understood ?"
"Alright ... " Inuyasha sighed ...
' Kagome , you better be safe wench , that 's all I have to say !'
Thinking that somehow the old man was going to get him started on some heavy work to get his mind off off the things that seemed so wrong now, had been a mistake on the hanyous part, and was proven by the spot where the were at present doing exactly nothing , at least to the hanyou. Both Toji, Inuyasha, and the priest's daughter Sori, were sitting in a circle with their legs crossed Indian style on the dirty forrest floor, while the priest went about preying for the lands to became pure..
Its seemed like hours had passed , unfortunatley getting on the hanyou's nerves only sitting there while the holy man mumbled to himself , answering himself in what appeared to be a sacred chant ..Rolling his eyes , underneath his eyelids, and breathing rather quickly to prevent the explosion that the hanyou himself felt was coming , but was not willing offering to recieve the man's punishment because it had seemed that it proved to be worse than that of his miko's subjugation commands.. Although as time kept ticking by it appeared , as it felt within the hanyou that his patience was wearing thin , and so without further pause the hanyou huffed suddenly spating off , complaining about whatever it was that they were doing, but by then all was forgotten about the punishment that was soon to come..
"OWWWW! Damn you ! That hurt!"The hanyou spat , as another bout of sutra's came his way..
"As it's supposed too, demon !Now quite !" Toji had then whacked him over the head with a staff simular to Miroku's , but with some obvious alterations to it , against his skull ..
"Quit it , Dammit ! "
"Not until you learn manners , mutt !"
A laugh abruptly broken through their rant , as Sori giggled to her amusement of the two bantering around like idiots, but it wasn't that she was laughing that got the hanyou's attention , it was the sound of it , for it was exactly the way another sounded when she laughed at him. Kagome .. When Honey clashed with a amused cinnamon , it was then that he had realized the truth about the little girl , Sori was Kagome's mother. It was something that the hanyou never let sink in once everything happened , not that he really new what her mother's name was ,or that of her grandpa's , though now he was sure of it , and coincidently the truth also meant that Toji was Kagome's grandfather, but he already knew that somehow from the begining..
'Oh fucking hell ! Please Dammit, just kill me now !'
