All Hell Breaks Loose...
March 20th, 2008
7:30 PM
Fuyuki City, outside Shiro's house
Shiro's POV:
Ok... So this white haired guy in a kimono comes in and asks me where Kagome is. I say I don't know and he ties me to a pole. Now, he's fighting with Saber, and neither of them are winning...
"I'm no demon, but whoever you are, I'll fight you anyway!" Saber scoffed.
"You... fight ME? Ha Ha! I'll have you screaming in pain in a second!" the white haired guy replied.
"Let's see about that!"
"DIAMOND ONSLAUGHT!" Screamed the white haired guy, and thousands of diamonds appeared and aimed themselves like missiles at Saber. She in turn, charged at him, ready to attack.
The diamonds got through Saber's attack effortlessly, But Saber was fast. She managed to block every attack and not get injured. He was no match for her speed, and she was no match for his attacks. They were equally matched, FAR too equally matched. As the fight went on, nothing changed. Neither of them were injured and neither of their physical status dulled. It was a loosing battle...
"Do you ever get tired?!" shrieked the man in the kimono
"I finish what I start!" Saber replied, using the words she used when fighting with Lancer when we first met.
Finally, the guy in the kimono decided to attack after what seemed like an eternity,
"Iron reaver..."
"SIT BOY!!" screamed a voice from behind
The guy in the kimono fell flat on his face. There was a huge trench in the ground where he had fell. The person who had screamed "sit boy," was none other than Kagome.
"K-Kagome?! Do you know this guy?!" I asked incredulously
"Yes I do know him! Thank you very much!"
She was in a really bad mood. How did she manage to make him fall? What kind of a spell is "Sit boy?" How does she know him?
"Forget it! This battle is over!" Saber scoffed, "How can I fight this guy if neither of us can win?"
"Now there's something we CAN agree on!" Kagome muttered under her breath, Saber couldn't hear, but I sure could.
She dragged the kimono guy into the house and was stomping her feet as she walked. Then the both of them started talking, I pressed my ears to the door and started to listen...
Same place,
8:45 PM
Kagome's POV:
Inu Yasha ruined EVERYTHING! Now that he's here... Even Sakura and Mrs. Fujimura will know about me and the bone eater's well...
"INU YASHA! Why did you come here?!" I yelled at him, I was furious.
"You liar! I thought you had exams!" Inu Yasha accused.
"I did! But this trip to Fuyuki City was so sudden and-"
"It doesn't matter! Who is that girl anyway? How come she's so strong? I mean... She's even stronger than Kikyo!"
"Oh HER... That's just Saber..." I scoffed.
"Saber?" Inu Yasha asked.
"Shiro's servant..."
"Servant? You mean like what Kagura is to Naraku?"
"No! No! Not like that at all!!" Now I've done it. If Inu Yasha comes to know about the Holy Grail War...
"Then what?" He asked, waiting for an answer.
"Ummm... I'll explain later. Well... since you're here... You can stay. But don't say a WORD about the feudal era, or Naraku, or the Sacred jewel, or the bone eaters well, or any of those things! Or else..."
"Ok! Ok! I won't say anything!"
"Good. Now... Let's get going... The others will start wondering if we're in here for too long."
Same place, Same time,
Shiro's POV:
Inu Yasha? Sacred Jewel? Feudal era? Bone eater's well? Naraku? So even Kagome has some strange secret? Wait... she did say the Sacred jewel... Could she mean... the legendary Shikon no tama? But that's just a myth! Who the hell is Naraku anyway? Hmmm... does her mom know about this? I think I should ask her...
"Mrs. Higurashi?" I asked,
"Oh, Shiro! I needed to talk to you! Oh, and bring Saber too! She needs to know this as well."
"What is it?" I had no idea what she was going to say...
"Something that you should have known a long time ago. Well... I think I should tell you now. When we first met, you had no idea about the Holy Grail War. Now that you know, I can tell you.
"Wait, so YOU know about it too?" So their whole family must know... even Sota!
"Obviously! Kiritsugu told me everything! I've also known Saber for a good deal of time."
"Ok then... I'll bring Saber and then you can tell me..."
Saber and I came into the room soon after. Then Mrs. Higurashi began her tragic tale. Of the conflict between her and Dad and how they got divorced. Dad never told me any of this. How could he hide these things from me?
"How can that be?! My father said that magic was only used for conflict! He even told me that I could quit my magical training whenever I wanted!" I remembered that he hated being a mage more than anything. Why would he want to push it onto another? That too a six year old girl!
"He did...?"
"Yes he did!"
"Oh... I guess that he learned from his mistakes." She had a look on her face that was a cross between shock and sadness.
"That's not enough!" I wanted to know more,
"You see, Kiritsugu was very different back then. He felt that being a mage was a duty to put above all others. This is why he wanted to pass it on to Kagome. She does have a maugus seal, like all other magi, yet she has no idea of her powers as she has not recieved formal instruction. When he left us however, I feel that loosing his family saddened him so much that he thought it was because of his being a mage that this happened..."
"Why didn't he tell us this before?" I was furious.
"You're just like Kagome! He probably didn't want you to know about all the mistakes he made." Mrs. Higurashi replied,
"If you are Kiritsugu's husband, and Kagome is your daugher, then why didn't she become a master?" Saber asked
"Because she never knew that she was a mage in the first place."
"Oh. That makes sense."
"Oh yea! I wanted to ask you, who is that guy in the kimono? Kagome was calling him "Inu Yasha" or something. But that can't be his NAME... could it?" I asked,
"Oh! Inu Yasha? Yes, it is his name." She replied,
"So that means that he's..." I couldn't believe what I was hearing...
"Yep. Dog demon."
"EH?! HE'S GONNA KILL US ALL!!"
"Shiro! You've been through so much already and you are getting scared over something like this?" Saber yelled.
"Oh nonsense! He won't hurt anyone unless they have a Jewel shard!" Mrs. Higurashi replied,
"So... The Shikon no Tama exists?" I asked,
"Yes it does. Wait... how do you know about it?"
"Kagome's grandfather was telling me the story yesterday. But I didn't believe a word of it!"
"Yes, Her grandfather is obsessed with old legends..." She mused.
"What is the "Shikon no Tama" exactly?" Saber asked
"It's an ancient jewel that is said to increase one's power by a hundred fold. Demons in particular. It can turn a half demon into a full fledged one. It is also said to grant one wish. Yet it is evil and must be purified."
"Wow..." Saber was amazed, it seemed that she wanted it for herself.
"By the way, what happened to the Jewel?"
"Kagome broke it by accident. Now it has been scattered into tiny shards..."
So even Kagome makes mistakes... looks like we have something in common!
"And this Naraku?" I asked.
"He's after the Jewel. So Inu Yasha and Kagome are trying to stop him from getting a hold of it."
"But what would happen if he does?" Saber asked,
"Naraku is very evil. He wants it so that he can wreak havoc and reclaim what he has lost..."
"Like what?" I asked
"No idea. Kagome wouldn't tell me."
I laughed. It sounded like something I would do...
"And the Bone eater's well?" I inquired further...
"Kagome travels back and forth from the feudal era to the modern world in order to do this. She does it through the Bone eaters well in our family shrine."
So that's what she's been hiding from me!
"And... Sit boy?"
Her mother burst into peals of laughter
"What?" I had no idea what she found so funny about that.
"Oh. That's a curse put on Inu Yasha when they first met. If she says "Sit boy", then he'll fall straight into the ground!"
I tried to hold in my laughter, but it didn't work. I started to laugh uncontrollably, but then Saber slapped me and I got a hold of myself.
"But... how do you-"
"I overheard them talking." I replied.
"I see. Kagome did the same thing with you two... you and Kagome are much more alike than you think you are..."
"So she did the same thing..." I mused.
"Yes. But it's no problem that she knows, she's a mage too. Saber, Kagome is a very nice girl. I think it would help if you would get to know her." Saber didn't respond. Why is she so quiet when it comes to Kagome? I did not understand...
"But... Kagome didn't want me to know any of these things." I said.
"It's ok! Just don't let her know that the both of you know!"
How exactly are we gonna do that...?
9:00 PM
Kagome's POV:
"AHHH!! Who is this dog-man?!" Sakura screamed with fear,
"He's not a dog man Sakura!" Mrs. Fujimura exclaimed
"That's right! He's my close friend, his name's Inu Yasha." I said.
"Inu?! His name?! Is he a foreigner or something?" Fuji Nee asked,
"Umm... yes!" I said trying to play along with her,
"So what are you? A half and half?" Sakura asked.
"Yes actually." Answered Inu Yasha.
I rolled my eyes. Not THAT kind of half and half!
"Hey guys! Is dinner ready yet?" Shiro called from the background.
"What took you guys so long?" I asked
"Your mom told me everything. So you're a mage too..."
"Yup!" I replied,
"Ding Dong!!"
The bell rang and Shiro opened the door. A girl who had long black hair and was wearing a red shirt and a black skirt came into the room.
"Eh?! Tosaka?! What's with the bag?!" Shiro asked incredulously, it seemed that he knew her well.
"We're working together now aren't we? So I'm gonna stay with you from now on!" She replied.
"WHAT?!"
"Shiro? Is this the girl you were talking about?" I asked,
"What girl?"
"You know, "Rin is a good magician and you should learn from her?" That girl."
"How do you know about that?" Shiro asked,
"I heard you. Never mind." I replied.
"Woah, woah, woah! Shiro! Who is SHE?!" The girl asked. She was really shocked and had no idea that I would know about such things.
"Oh, this is Kagome. She is my half sister and she will be staying with us for about a month. Kagome, this is Rin Tosaka. We will be working together for a while." Shiro introduced.
Did he just call me his... half sister?! That's true but... won't Rin think that Dad had an affair or something? Idiot!
"Nice to meet you Rin." I tried to sound polite.
"HALF SISTER?! Since when did your father-" Rin tried to finish her sentence but was cut off by Shiro,
"No! No! You've got it all wrong! I'll explain later."
Just as I thought...
"I still can't believe it... she looks nothing like you!" Rin remarked.
"What part of HALF SISTER don't you understand?" I asked Rin.
"Does she know about the..." Rin asked Shiro,
"Yes she does."
"Did you tell her?"
"No. Her mother told her." She replied.
"Hold on! You're bringing another girl in here?! First Saber, then Kagome, and now Tosaka?! Are you part of some love story here?" Said Mrs. Fujimura in an outrage
"Oh, it's because my house is being rebuilt. So I need to stay somewhere. I can't stay in a hotel, so it would be better if I stayed with a classmate, wouldn't it?"
Wow... Rin's a pretty good liar...
"Oh...
WAHHH!! I LOST AN ARGUMENT TO A STUDENT!!!"
Inu Yasha's POV:
Who in the world are these people and how are they related to Kagome? Why on earth is she even here?!
There were these little conversations going on in each corner of the dinner table. The guy called "Shiro" and a girl dressed in red were talking in one corner. The purple haired girl and the brown haired girl were talking in another, Kagome and Saber were talking right next to me, and her mother and grandfather were silent. Suddenly, her grandfather had an angry look on his face as he looked in Kagome's direction.
"She's talking to that Servant again! Stop her NOW!!" he whispered in her mom's ear.
"Father! Please! Stop treating her like an enemy!" She hissed.
"How is Saber bad?" I asked, "I mean, she's strong, no doubt about that. But how's she bad?" I asked.
Her mother and grandfather looked at each other and then said,
"It's nothing. Forget it. Kagome will tell you."
Why is nobody telling me anything?
Kagome's POV:
"Oh, so that's what happened?"
"Yes. Mostly."
Saber was telling me about whatever adventures she had with Shiro so far. I think she's starting to trust me more now that she knows about my family.
"Saber, don't you notice it?" I wanted her to know what I was thinking...
"Notice what, Kagome?" Saber asked stupidly.
"UGH! For someone whose won so many battles, you sure are dense! Shiro risked his life to save you when you first met, he never wants to see you get hurt, he treats you like a human and not like a servant, and I wish that you could see the way he looks at you! It's so... admiring! It can only mean one thing... He's madly in love with you!"
Saber made a face and turned bright pink. She then took a deep breath, put on a haughty air and said,
"I am a servant before I am a woman."
"Well... what'cha gonna do AFTER the Holy Grail war, huh? Then you won't be a servant anymore, won't you?"
Saber looked at me like I didn't know anything. It was like there was something in this whole situation that I was missing. Something that I didn't know... and she didn't want to tell me.
"I never thought of myself as a "Girl". Nor was I ever treated like one." Saber replied trying to defend herself.
"UGH! Why do you want the grail anyway? What's your wish? Oh no... don't tell me-" I smirked,
"NO! I do not want to be with Shiro! We barely even know each other! I want to fulfil a responsibility that I couldn't do in my previous life..." Saber said sadly.
"What did you want to do?" I asked, eager to find out,
"I can't tell you. I can't risk letting you use it against me."
"Jeez... you can be so stubborn you know that?" I was fed up with prying. She was too strong.
"Shiro says the same thing..."
"Shiro again? You love him too don't you?" I piped up.
"What are you saying?" Saber barked. She was really getting mad. But I didn't give up!
"Come on! You make a perfect couple!"
"I am only here for the Holy Grail!"
"Don't give me any of that! Come on! I'm gonna teach you how to win Shiro's heart! Lessons start tomorow!" I couldn't wait...
"But-"
"No buts! You are listening to me Saber! And that's final!"
