He looked at me, shocked. Yeah, well, it's not everyday you hear someone saying that they've saved all of humankind on the face of the planet. The silence was getting on my nerves. I was too used to Inuyasha yelling at me all the time.
"Well?" I asked, annoyed. "Say something already!" I am definitely not in one of my best moods today.
"…..you're probably delusional…maybe you hit your head on the way here? How about I bring you to the hospital?" I sighed.
"You really don't believe after all I've said?" I looked silently at my hands, scarred and strong from daily use. I grimaced. "Very well then. I will show you." I stood up and led him outside. Slowly and carefully, I closed my eyes, visioning the power being grasped into my hands. I felt a strong bow in my hands. I sensed the aura of the tree pulsing. Suddenly I let go. I let the arrow fly, pushing my power into it. Boom! I opened my eyes, silently hoping that I didn't crush anything. I widened my eyes as I saw what I did. The tree blasted to bits.
"Wow…" Jacob whispered in awe. "You really are the one. Can you teach me how to do that?" He looked at me hopefully. I looked sadly at him.
"I am sorry. I have not yet mastered my power. If I teach you, I may hurt you in the process. Severely. Even so, I do not think your power can do the same as mine. It is on a different wavelength. Even if you became the wolf demon you should rightfully be, they do not carry that type of power. But I can teach you different things." He looked at me sadly yet also happily. I tilted my head in confusion.
"Oh. Yeah. It would be great if you could teach me." I looked at him, secretly thinking that he would make a great wolf demon.
"Now back to the point. You believe me now, do you not?" He nodded his head in affirmation. "Good. Now I must begin." I walked slowly, trying to feel for the power I felt from Naraku – the aura of the vampires.
"Hey!" he suddenly shouted, "Do you want me to help you?" I turned towards him, smiling in gratitude.
"Yeah, that would be nice. Could you point me towards the direction of the vampires?" He hesitated, then spoke.
"Yeah, I could, but don't you want me to come with you? That way I can be sure that you don't die in the process of saving us." I smiled at him.
"That would be great, though I believe I can save myself." He smiled at me, eyes shining in a way that took me back in wonder.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go already!" He hooked his arm in mine dragging me with him as I snapped out of my daze. I smiled. He really was a kind boy.
"Alright, alright! I got it!" I took my arm from his and started to walk with him. A comfortable silence spread between us.
"So what are these vampires like?" A dark look came upon him. He started a small growl of anger.
"Despicable!" he snarled. "I just want to tear them to bits!" A concerned look took over me. I looked at him for answers.
"Alright," he sighed, "I guess its my turn for answers."
