' How could she catch that no one can do that but me and…..?' Sango wonder but was taken out of her thoughts as it came and hit her. Everyone just looked at Raquel as she stood there.
" You'll pay for that!" as Inuyasha yelled at her and charged at her but stop because of two things. One he realized that Raquel was a human and two Sesshomaru got in front of her to protect her.
" Oh, since when does the almighty Sesshomaru protect females and, human females expect that little runt that always follows you around." Inuyasha stated. As this was going on Sango started to get up.
" Raquel is that you?"
Everyone stop at what Sango said.
" Sango? It can't be!" Raquel said in confusion.
Flash back
Two girls about the age 9 where practicing in the training. " Good job Sango and Raquel! By the time we are done teaching you two, you two will be better then me! Sango's dad laughed. Sango and Raquel where the best of friends since they could remember. They where always there for each other no matter what happened to one another. Until that one dreadful night when Raquel's father came back with a boy.
" What do you want?" Sango's dad said an bitter way. He hated Raquel's dad, but who wouldn't. he always was yelling and beating up his family that how Raquel's mother died.
" I come to get what is mine. Raquel get over here right now!" he half yelled. She didn't move, she didn't want to go with him not after what he did to her mother. She just couldn't. Raquel could still hear her mother's voice ear-splitting scream. Raquel just shuddered.
" No, I'm not going with you I'm staying with Sango and that final." Raquel never spoke like that to anyone, well not since her mom died. But she never spoke like that to anyone.
" What did you just say to me young lady?" Her father asked her furiously.
" I am…not…going…with…you…I am…staying…with…Sango…and…her…family." she said one word at a time. This by now got her father madder beyond mad. He marched right up to her grabbed her by the arm and yelled " You will come with me now or face the consequences later my dear little daughter." Raquel just gazed up at her father and mouthed the word " NO" her father was so pissed off at her that he was gonna hit her if not Sango's father stopped him right there and then. " Leave her alone she is staying her with us now. Now you either leave now or I will have the village guards take you out. But I don't think that you will like that for they are pretty rough with people who we don't like." Raquel's father backed off with a stern gaze at his daughter. " Mark my word Raquel I will come and get you, just you wait." " I will be counting on it father' she spat out her last word. Never taking her gaze off of him.
" Come Ryo" her father said to the boy. " you will have her in no time just you wait" he said the last few words to Ryo so only he can hear him.
" Raquel are you ok? Did your father hurt you are not? Sango's dad asked her with concern.
" No I'm alright, but thanks for asking and for helping me with my father."
" Don't worry about, you are like Sango's little sister and you are like my youngest daughter whom I love just as much as my own child." he just looked at her with caring eyes that Raquel only seen from her mother and Sango. " Didn't anyone ever tell you that you look a lot like your mother in so many ways? Like the way smile, how you always care, and you have her stubborn streak." he said hardily to her. That meant so much to her because she loved her mother more then the stars and the moon put together. " Now run along." he said to her. Raquel just nodded and went back to play with Sango. When she reached Sango, Sango just hugged her with all her might.
" Don't worry Sango I'm not gonna go with that bastard of a father that I have" she reassured Sango.
" Watch you mouth young lady." Sango laughed
" Hey your only older then me by three months so I'm not that young." Raquel teased Sango. For the next week Sango and Raquel where practicing more and more just incase if he came back they will be ready for him.
Until that one night after everyone was asleep a man crept into Raquel's room and took her away from the next closes family she had. She was devastated, and to find out that her father took her away from her best friend and the man that she looked up to as a father. Oh she was pissed. That's when she stared to learn to fight so she can kill her father but she never did she will be so close, it's right at her finger tips but she can't. ' I failed you mother is all that she could say, I failed you. Your one and only daughter has failed you. Please forgive me' and there she cried.
When Sango awake the next morning to find out that Raquel was gone she cried for a week. She fowled to her self that she will find her and kill who ever took her best friend away. Her little sister is gone, gone, gone. Over the years Sango looked and looked but came back empty handed. 'I've failed you little sister. I've failed you. Please forgive me." and there she cried.
End of flash back
" Sango, my big sista from anotha motha? Raquel asked puzzled
" Raquel, my little sista from anotha motha? Sano asked confused. At that moment they stop what they where doing and ran to each other. They hugged each like there is no tomorrow. Meanwhile Sesshomaru, Inuyasha, Kagome, Shippo, and Miroku where babbled.
" Can anyone please tell me what is going on here? I mean one moment she flings your Hiraikotsu at you and knocks you off your feet and now you guys are hugging like you to haven't seen each other in like for ever!" Inuyasha snapped at them. " Yes please someone do tell us what's going on here." Miroku asked. Sesshomaru just stood there dumbfounded. As to Kagome who was just standing and staring. Before either Sango or Raquel could say anything Kagome said " I know you….. Or well herded of you Sango told me I mean us about you a couple of times. You are like her 'sista from anotha motha'. Kagome said.
" Yeah now I remember Sango did mention to us about her best friend." Miroku said. And while he was talking the kept on inching forward to Raquel, and the you got it he touched her butt and wake Raquel hit him so hard up-side the head that he fell over. But right before he fell Sesshomaru caught him and held him up by his neck.
Sesshomaru's POV
I was fighting my lame-ass half brother when his stupid friend released her Hiraikotsu at me. I jumped out of the way just as it was going to hit me. ' No' I thought 'Raquel is right be hind me in the woods and that is where her Hiraikotsu is going. And even if I try to help her I will never make it to her in time. Please Raquel be ok' I thought. I watch as the Hiraikotsu went into the woods where Raquel is when I hear someone catch it.
" You can throw pretty good but I can throw better." Raquel said as she came out from behind the trees and threw it at Inuyasha's group. ' Thank god she is ok.'
" You'll pay for that!" as Inuyasha yelled at her and charged at her. I ran as fast as I could and got in front of Raquel to protect her from Inuyasha. " Oh, since when does the almighty Sesshomaru protect females and, human females at that to expect that little runt that always follows you around." Inuyasha stated. I was able to feel Raquel tense up at what Inuyasha said. She hated it to the bone when someone talked bad about Rin. Shit she almost killed Jaken for it. As this was going on I was able to see the girl who threw the Hiraikotsu at me started to get up.
" Raquel is that you?" she asked. ' What? How does she now Raquel.?'
" Sango? It can't be!" Raquel said in confusion. I just looked at her and back to Sango and then back to Raquel. She was just standing there in a daze. I was looking into her eyes for an answer, but I got none. All of a saddened she snapped out of the daze and said
" Sango, my big sista from anotha motha? Raquel asked puzzled. " Raquel, my little sista from anotha motha? Sano asked confused. At that moment they stop what they where doing and ran to each other. They hugged each like there is no tomorrow. When she said that a little bit of happiness came to Raquel's eyes. Not that she was never happy but they was always something missing in them, like a shadow was always covering them. I was snapped out of my daze when I heard Inuyasha and his friends stated to talk.
" Can anyone please tell me what is going on here? I mean one moment she flings your Hiraikotsu at you and knocks you off your feet and now you guys are hugging like you to haven't seen each other in like for ever!" Inuyasha snapped at them. " Yes please someone do tell us what's going on here." Miroku asked. I was just dumbfounded. Before either Sango or Raquel could say anything Kagome said " I know you….. Or well herded of you Sango told me I mean us about you a couple of times. You are like her 'sista from anotha motha'. Kagome said. I was looking from Raquel to Sango and to Kagome now trying to figure things out now. As I was looking at the girls I saw that the monk started to move towards Raquel. He started to say something but I didn't care I was just watching him. Then all of a saddened Raquel hit he up-side the head hard to and he started to fall over but I caught the monk by the neck.
" It will be wise monk for you to never tough my wife again or I will kill you."
No more pov
" It will be wise monk for you to never tough my wife again or I will kill you." Sesshomaru said in a stern voice. Raquel just put a hand on his shoulder and pleaded with her eyes. Sesshomaru was just staring into her eyes and finally let go of Miroku.
" Whoa, whoa, whoa Sesshomaru with a human! That's impossible!" Inuyasha said astonished. Sesshomaru was giving his half brother a deadly glare that could have killed anyone on the spot. But he didn't. he just pick-up Raquel and sat down under a tree with her on his lap. Then the others followed and sat under the shady parts on the ground that the trees gave off.
" Raquel how do you know her?" Sesshomaru asked pointing to Sango. " Yeah I would like to hear this to!" Inuyasha said. So Sango and Raquel both started to tell the story, and by the time they where done Kagome had tears in her eyes.
" Raquel what happened while you where with your father after he took you away from my family and I?" Sango asked. At that question Raquel went pale white, and her eyes got big. ' I cant tell her what happened she will get mad at her self.' thankful Sesshomaru seen it, "That's enough questions for now you can ask her later if she feels like it." he piped in.
" Hey you cant answer for her you big git!" Inuyasha yelled. Before Sesshomaru could do anything Kagome yelled " Inuyasha sit-boy!" Inuyasha made a huge whole in the ground.
"Thanks Kagome" Raquel said. Kagome gave her a reassuring smile. Afterward Raquel just laid her head on Sesshomaru's should and went to sleep with his arm around her waist for reassurance that he was there for her. They all sat there and talk we everyone but Sesshomaru and Raquel for she was sleeping. Sesshomaru was rubbing her back and listening to everyone talk when Sango asked " How come you choose a human and not a demon?"
" And don't you dare say for that little runt that always follows you around all the time." Inuyasha put in
" It's not for her well at first it was but then, her and Rin got attached and it grew on me to. Plus she is one in a million and I love her and I will give my life for her." he answered them, and the all had there mouths hung open.
" Sesshomaru can we stay with for a while because I haven't seen Sango in a long time.?" Raquel asked. Sesshomaru just gazed down at her thinking then looked at Inuyasha. " It's fine by me as long as that monk doesn't touch you."
" I wont I promise. And since you are going to be staying that means that Inuyasha has to be good." Miroku chuckled.
" Are you guys gonna go get Rin?" Shippo asked. Sesshomaru nodded. " Thank you Sesshomaru, you don't know how much this means to me." Raquel said and kissed him on the lips. " We well be back in a few Sango we have to go Rin ok." " OK." Sango said.
