The strange familiarity of Jin
Many hours later, the gang stopped for the night outside of the canyon and in a field, with a gigantic tree a little ways off. After getting
their stuff ready to lay down for the night, Angel brought Jin aside when he asked how she came to know those people, and why did she
have those markings on her? Inuyasha, Kagome, and the rest were studying Jin while Angel explained what Kagome and the others were
trying to do, what Angel had been doing all this time, and what she actually was. Jin listened silently while Sango tended to Miroku's
injured knee. After a quick apology from Jin to Miroku, Inuyasha finally spoke up. He was very angry because he wasn't able to finish
his fight with Jin, and his ego was bruised. He angrily said, "We don't need any extra weight on our hands. We should be focusing on
getting the rest of the jewel piece and defeating Naraku. So we don't need any of your help." Angel stood up as she angrily protested,
"Jin is my friend, so why the hell can't he come with us?!" Inuyasha snarled back and he too stood up as he said, "Because I said so-
why? You wanna fight about it?" Jin also got on his feet and said in anger, "If you hurt my friend, I'll kick your ass all over this place."
Inuyasha smiled, cracked his knuckles, and yelled, "Bring it on then!" Jin moved angrily past Angel and said with a dark grin, "Gladly!"
Jin flexed his gold colored claw arm, and Inuyasha dashed at Jin with his claws. Jin also dashed at Inuyasha with his claw and before
Angel could grab Jin's cloak to stop him, Kagome yelled, "Sit Boy!" What came next normally wouldn't have surprised anybody, but
this one did. Inuyasha slammed heavily to the ground, and Jin slammed to the ground in the exact same fashion as Inuyasha. At the exact
same time.
SC
Jin picked himself from the ground, surprise and anger written on his face, and looked at the surprised people around him. Angel looked
at Jin and said, "Um… Did you trip or something Jin?" He glared angrily at Angel, and sat crossed legged on the ground as Inuyasha also
sat up. They frowned furiously at the ground and Kagome thought, 'Am I just imagining things, or did I just subdue Jin as well?' Jin
and Inuyasha were looking away from each other in anger, and seemed to be putting in a huge force of will to not jump at each other's
throats. Sango moved over to Kagome and said in her friends ear, "How were you able to sit both Inuyasha and Jin?" Kagome leaned
over to Sango and said, "I have no idea how that happened. The word only should work on Inuyasha, but maybe Jin just tripped…"
Angel sat down dog style next to Kagome and said, "Why not put it to a test? Just try sit Jin this time." Kagome nervously looked at Jin.
He looked ready to kill the next thing that blinked at him wrong, but she strangely didn't feel intimidated by this behavior, if anything, he
was acting exactly like Inuyasha. She said out loud, "Jin?" He looked at her from the corner of his eyes and that was enough to show he
was listening. She looked away quickly from the dark look in his eyes and in her panic yelled, "Jin, SIT!!" Inuyasha looked at Jin with an
eager look on his face to see the guy across from him humiliated by a face-plant, and his wish was granted. Jin slammed heavily to the
earth, and grinned evilly as he heard the shout of surprise from Inuyasha, followed by a grunt of pain. Angel walked up to Inuyasha and
poked at his head and said, "Can Jin please come with us now?" He muttered in the dirt, "I don't give a crap… Ask Fluffy for all I
care."
SC
Jin meanwhile was dragging himself at Kagome with his right arm and she looked in surprise at the arm. Jin slowly got to his feet and
demanded angrily, "Why the hell did you do that!?" Kagome looked at Jin sheepishly and said, "Well, I just wanted to see if you
would also be subdued by that. It only worked on Inuyasha before." Jin got to his full height ( I'm barely sixteen and a half, and I'm
already six feet tall.) and Kagome, wanting to avoid any more trouble, said as casually as she could, "Where did you get those clothes?
They look just like Vincent Valentine's, but the clawed arm is on the right instead of the left." Jin looked at the ground and said, "I'm not
sure… I was wearing this after Angel left, and when I became… this." He sat down again, regret etched into his face, and Kagome
thought, 'Where did that come from? One minute he is acting like Inuyasha in a mood swing, and the next, he acts as if he killed
everyone he cared about! This guy acts like Vincent Valentine and Inuyasha, all in one!' Kikyo asked curiously, "Kagome. Who is
this…Vincent Valentine?" Angel answered for Kagome, "Vincent Valentine is a character from a game called Final Fantasy VII. He's a
good guy, but he would rather sleep in a coffin and have nightmares, than do something about redeeming himself of a mistake that he had
done." Kagome looked over Angel's shoulder and saw Jin walking to the tree. His cloak was flowing slightly in the breeze, and in one
leap, he got on the highest branch of the tree. He crossed his arm and looked at the full moon in front of him. Jin looked very enigmatic
and vampire-like while he did that. Inuyasha sat up again and Shippo said, "Who would want to sleep in a coffin and have nightmares?"
SC
Kagome got up from her seat and walked over to the tree that Jin was perched on and looked back at Kikyo. The clay maiden nodded
silently and Angel asked, "Where is Kagome going?" Kikyo looked at the silent form of Jin and said, "There is something about Jin that
feels strangely familiar to me." Miroku finished her sentence, "And apparently to Lady Kagome too." Kagome walked past Inuyasha
without a word and he didn't care at all, for the time being. He was still angry and made a point to completely ignore everyone. Kagome
quietly walked over to the tree and said, "Jin are you alright up there?" He nodded, but didn't even look at Kagome. She gently asked,
"Can you please come down so I can talk to you?" Jin kept his arms crossed as he jumped to the lowest branch near Kagome, and his
cloak opened so wide, it seemed as if he had wings. Kagome looked into his green eyes and she noticed the slight red in them as she
said, "Sorry that I embarrassed you back there Jin. Are you still angry?" Jin suddenly seemed unable to look at her directly, looked at
the ground, and said in a calm voice, "No. I'm the one who should be sorry… I let my anger get the better of me, and I took it out on
you and Angel." She asked, "Why do you seem so distant when you looked at me and Kikyo? It's almost as if you did something
terrible to us." Jin still couldn't look at Kagome, but he said in reply, "I honestly do not know… But, are you sure I haven't done
anything to you in a past life?"
SC
Jin got off his tree branch, stood in front of Kagome, and finally looked in her chocolate brown eyes. Suddenly, he felt an overwhelming
sting of self-hatred that roared at him, "How dare you even look at her! What makes you think that you deserve to lay eyes on
her?" Kagome noticed the self-loathing look in his eyes before he looked quickly at the ground. She tried to cheer him up, and she said
with an optimistic tone, "Jin, I know you're a good guy! Don't worry about what you did back there. Besides, none of us wouldn't even
be alive if you hadn't saved us from getting crushed by that gigantic boulder." Jin felt a bit better, and finally looked at Kagome in the
eyes again. 'Why do I feel this way to Kagome? I feel happy, at peace, but somehow sad whenever I look at her. But why?' He
kept his thoughts to himself and said softly to Kagome, "Thanks…" She nodded, and she suddenly felt a familiar, yet strange feeling. 'I
feel happy, but this kind of happiness is what I get from making Inuyasha feel better.' Kagome thought. She shook the thoughts
out of her head, but that feeling still lingered inside her, and said, "Whaddya say we get back to the others Jin? You and Angel probably
have a lot to catch up on." Jin nodded and he followed Kagome back to the camp. Angel meanwhile had been kept busy by answering
all kinds of questions about Final Fantasy VII from the others. Angel didn't mind at all, and Shippo asked, "Who is the bad guy from
Fantasy Final?" Angel smiled and she said, "It's called, "FINAL Fantasy" Shippo. And the bad guy is called, 'Sephiroth." He has long
silver hair and an even longer sword called, "Masamune." Jin has two swords exactly like Sephiroth's sword." Sango asked, "This
Sephiroth had silver hair? Was he a demon?" Angel said, " No, but he had cells inside him from a monster called, "Jenova" But he had
abilities beyond a normal human. I'd say he was kind of a, semi-half demon." Inuyasha pretended to be uninterested, but asked, "Was
this Sephiroth guy strong?" Kagome answered for Angel. She and Jin had just come back, and Kagome noticed the tired look in her
friends face. So she said, "Sephiroth was really strong Inuyasha, he was even stronger than Naraku!" Inuyasha snorted, "Well then he
mustn't be very strong at all then. Because next time we see Naraku, I'll make sure he dies!"
"Is that so Inuyasha?" came a cruel voice.
SC
Inuyasha and the others (except Shippo) got in battle mode the instant they heard Naraku's voice. Sango immediately got into her slayer
outfit, Kagome and Kikyo notched an arrow in their bows, Miroku steadied his staff, Kirara tramsformed, and Inuyasha, along with
Angel, and Jin, pulled out their swords. Inuyasha yelled, "Come out Naraku! Or are you too afraid to face us?" Naraku laughed
wickedly and said, "I am here half-breed, and this time, all of you will die!" Angel detected the sickening stench of Naraku and the
earthly smell of the living-dead Sesshomaru, and said, "Be careful everyone, Naraku is with the clay pot Sesshomaru." Naraku emerged
from a cloud of miasma as the living dead Sesshomaru dropped next to his master, and Inuyasha snarled furiously at him, "Is this the real
you Naraku? Or is this just another trick of yours to prevent us from getting the jewel piece?" Naraku grinned and said, "This is the real
me Inuyasha. Did you honestly think that I was just going to let you get the missing Shikon no Tama piece and not do anything about it?"
Angel yelled angrily at him, "You tried to send your puppet there to kill me, so I'd say, yeah, I think you were up to something." Naraku
looked at Angel and said, " You couldn't have been more wrong my dear. I was simply keeping you occupied until I could accomplish
part one of my plan." Naraku suddenly lashed out with his tentecals at Inuyasha and his companions. Sango, Miroku, and Shippo all got
away on Kirara, Jin got Kagome and leapt out of the way, Inuyasha pulled Kikyo out of the way, and Angel leapt into the air. The attack
knocked the fire into the fields, and the entire place was set ablaze at a dangerously fast pace. Angel was surrounded on all sides by the
flames and she suddenly saw the living-dead Sesshomaru walk through the fire and Sesshomaru finally decided to speak up, (Let me
take care of this one. He is my prey.) Angel transformed into Sesshomaru and Angel felt that for once, it was an even fight. The others
were separated by the flames, and Jin was faced with Naraku after he placed Kagome on Kirara. He got ready to fight and Naraku said
with amusement and a raised eyebrow, "So, I guess Sesshomaru and Kikyo, aren't the only ones with a reincarnation…"
SC
Jin; Finally I updated. Do you know what Naraku is talking about? I do.
