Impossibility
The Sincere One
Chapter Six
"You're an idiot, you know that? I can't believe that Hakima is actually dead. I think it's time you explained everything that has happened, then!" Makato's elder half-sister, Anzu, was scolding him badly even after three days. He had crawled over to her estate in a pathetic state after his battle with that one demon, who was apparently a friend of Kagami's.
Anzu was pretty, sweet, kind and loving. Right now, she may be pretty but certainly not in a good mood. Flicking her long, honey-colored braid over her shoulder, she fixed an herbal drink for her little brother. Anzu had apricot-colored skin with graceful tattoos on her face, hands, and legs. She was a fire demon, and displayed her full amount of powers when she lost her temper, which wasn't very often.
"I know it smells bad, but drink it up," she said, sighing. "Now, explain."
"I already told you what happened, Anzu!" Makato snapped impatiently. He sniffed the cup and his nose wrinkled in disgust.
"No, you didn't! I know that's not all of it, so explain right now. I had to send a- ah, um, a friend away because of your situation," she snapped back at him.
Makato raised an eyebrow. "And who was that demon, anyway? What was his name?"
"I'll tell you later," she blushed, fumbling with her hair. "Talk. Now."
Makato sighed. "What do you want to know, exactly?"
"Who was the demon who attacked you? And why did he?"
"I told you that I didn't know! Anzu, you've been interrogating me for two days straight!" Grumbling, he set the untouched cup down, silently refusing to drink it.
"Drink that up! It's good for you," Anzu ordered him.
"I won't! It's disgusting, and besides, I'm already totally healed. I don't need it," he said.
They went through a short period of silence in which Anzu stared at her brother intensely. Makato tried to ignore her, but he shifted uncomfortably.
"I know you know why he attacked you," she declared.
"Fine! I partly know why that half-demon piece of shit attacked me!" Makato stood up, slamming his fist down on a table. "I think it has something do with a girl that I… I… uh, captured. He was probably her friend and trying to rescue her!"
"And so all of the sudden he turned into a full demon and killed all of your brothers? How did you survive? Excuse me for saying so, but you're the weakest of them… Or were."
Makato blushed. "Yes, I know. He went into this phase of fury, that demon boy. He turned into a pure demon, and then attacked all of us! Hakima was killed first, and then Yoshino and Nada. I fought him for a while and then blacked out. He must have thought I died, and then left. I have no idea who he was…"
"You do too!" Anzu shouted, suddenly standing up before him. "Who was he? Who!"
"Fine! I think he was Sesshoumaru-sama's son!" Makato yelled back at her.
Anzu gasped, clamping a hand over her mouth. "You really are an idiot, Makato." She shook her head. "How could you attack the great demon lord's son? He'll probably destroy your whole estate, now!"
"Oh, shut up. I'm sick of your bickering. Besides, I can defend myself," he sat down and turned his face away proudly.
Anzu looked at him very skeptically. "Sure. And his half-demon son just beat the crap out of you, there's no way you can't beat Sesshoumaru!"
"Leave me alone!" he shouted at her, standing up and stalking away in fit of fury.
Anzu rolled her eyes. "And just who is this girl, anyway?" she called after him.
"And just who was that boy?" he said back at her.
Well, he's got me there, she thought. Anzu picked up the herb drink she had made, tasted it, and dumped it out in a hurry. No wonder Makato made such a fuss whenever she made him one. They tasted positively bitter!
Makato sat on the edge of a window, watching the vast forest. How dare Anzu treat him like some poor human waif. It was degrading and humiliating… if Hakima had seen him being treated like this, Makato would have never lived it down. But, Anzu was right about one thing. Makato had been stupid.
Kagami was probably dead by now, and who knew about the demon boy. Makato couldn't stop thinking about her exotic nature, her bright, round eyes and her silky hair. How she stood up to him, how her spirit couldn't be crushed excited Makato in a way that he had never felt. Kagami was the piece of his heart that had been missing. And now… now she was gone. Due to Hakima.
Makato was glad his elder brother was gone, almost. He was a relentless and uncaring bastard, as Makato had always told him from time to time. Makato still couldn't believe that Hakima had poisoned Kagami. It blew his mind away that he would be so stupid as to do such a thing.
Damn him. Damn Hakima.
"Makato…" Anzu's voice said softly from behind him.
"Go away, Anzu. I don't feel like this right now. Okay?"
"I just wanted to tell about that boy today," she said.
Makato raised his eyebrow, turning around to look at Anzu. "Do you now? And why would that be? You want to know something from me?"
Anzu smiled, almost apologetically. "No, I just want to let you know. He's been… well, courting me, I guess you could say, for the past few months. He's a fox demon, and his name is Shippou. I really do like him, and I hope to mate him someday soon."
"Really?" Makato smiled. "That… is very interesting."
Anzu blushed. "Well, I suppose that he's thinking of it too."
"Anzu… I know you want to know about the girl," Makato sighed.
"I most certainly do. Now spill it out!"
He grinned. "Fine, fine. Her name is Kagami, and she's a human girl. Hakima poisoned her, and I started to fight him… but then the boy came along and attacked us. But, Anzu, this Kagami girl is amazing. She's like no one I've ever met… I… I…"
"Love her? You do, don't you. Oh my god, you're not ready for this," Anzu sighed, shaking her head.
"What?!" Makato shouted. "Of course I don't… I don't l-l-loo…. You know! I don't, I don't. How can you say that…"
"Because you obviously do!" she protested.
"Oh, shut up!"
"You know, that's your favorite sentence." Anzu scowled at him. "By the way, Shippou is coming over today. He should be here any minute."
"Actually, I just arrived a moment ago. You seemed in such deep talk I didn't want to disturb you," a voice above them said.
Anzu screamed, and Makato almost fell out of the window.
"My god, Anzu! I didn't know you could scream like that!" Shippou winked at her, and hopped inside. "Sorry about scaring you."
"Er, uh, Shippou! You were eavesdropping on us!" Anzu scolded him.
"Sorry, Anzu," he shrugged. "By the way, Makato, I couldn't help but to overhear you—" Anzu snorted at this—"mention someone. I believe that you said Kagami is her name?"
Makato looked suspiciously at the cheeky fox. "So what if I did?"
"Well, I know her," Shippou grinned.
Makato's eyes went wide with shock. "What?! You know her? Is she alive? Where is she? How is she doing?"
"Hold it, hold it!" Shippou held up his hand. "First I want to know what you want with her! Are you responsible for poisoning her?"
"N-no… I… it was my elder brother who poisoned her. Please, Shippou- san, I'm begging you. You have to take me to Kagami. I have to see her again…"
The serious look that fell over Makato's face was noticeably sincere. Shippou studied him up and down for a moment, and then nodded acceptingly.
"All right, but why do you want to see her?"
"I… I can't tell you."
"Do you want to hurt her? And Raidon? If you try anything funny-" he accused Makato.
But the other demon protested loudly, saying, "Of course not! I would never do such a thing to Kagami!"
"He loves her," Anzu said simply.
"I do not love her!" Makato roared. "I… I just have to see if she's all right. And who's Raidon?"
"You know, Raidon. I believe he attacked you, didn't he?"
"Oh," Makato stomach sank. "So that's what his name is. It's true… he is Sesshoumaru's son."
"Wonderful," Anzu mumbled.
"If I take you with me, do you swear not to try and fight with Raidon, Kagami, or anyone else? And promise to leave if you're told to. Especially if Kagami wants you to go."
"I swear I do, Shippou!" Makato said, exasperated. "Why don't you believe me? I'm not completely like my family."
"All right then. I take you with," Shippou agreed. "But tomorrow. Tonight I'm visiting with your sister!" He winked at Makato, who was almost breaking down from frustration.
1 I
"Shippou! May we leave now?" Makato yelled to the older demon, who was taking his time at getting ready. It was the next day, and the last Inuzuma boy was impatient to leave.
"Just a minute!" He shouted back, and Makato heard some rustling and muffled movements. He didn't have to guess what Anzu and Shippou were most likely doing.
"Shippou!! Stop doing that with Anzu! You'll have other chances!" Makato roared at him through the door.
"Okay, okay, I'm coming," Shippou grumbled, and started to actually get ready. He came out looking very pleased with himself, and Anzu was right behind him with the same expression on her face.
"Well, then, Anzu, I'll come see you again soon…" Shippou kissed her hand gallantly. She giggled, and they kissed each other, getting caught up in a passionate embrace that was starting to annoy Makato.
"Will you two cut it out!" he barked at them, pulling Shippou away.
Anzu was extremely annoyed. "Oh, you'll be doing this someday, too… probably with Kagami, too."
Shippou snorted. "Not if Inu-Yasha is around!"
"I give up," Makato grumbled, stalking off.
"That's a good thing! Inu-Yasha is very nasty, even when he's human. Especially when it comes to protecting his daughter. Or even his wife!"
"Yeah, yeah."
"Well, my dear one," Shippou said to Anzu, "we shall meet again."
"We better meet again," Anzu giggled. "Or I'll come after you!"
After a long, tedious goodbye (well, only to Makato) Shippou and Makato finally left. "Goodbye, Shippou! Makato, you better not cause any trouble!" Anzu yelled after them. "I love you both!"
"Makato, what exactly are your intentions?" Shippou asked after about an hour and a half of travel.
"What? What do you mean?"
"What are your intentions?"
"Of what?" Makato grew weary of Shippou's interrogations.
"Of Kagami," Shippou glared at Makato.
"I just want to see her."
"And why?"
"I've told you too many times before, Shippou!" Makato snapped.
"Tell me again."
"I'm sick of your interrogations, Shippou. Leave me be and mind your own business."
"In case you haven't noticed, it is my business. Kagami is the daughter of two good friends of mine, and you are Anzu's brother. How are you two connected, anyway? She told me you were only half-siblings."
"We have the same mother," Makato sighed. "Well, did. You see, Hakima is only my half-brother—Anzu told you of him, I'm very sure. Anzu and Hakima were somewhat close, even though they weren't related by blood. It was a strange relationship between them. Our mother was first with Anzu's father, then came to my father, Inuzuma, and birthed me with him. She wasn't the mother of my three deceased brothers. I didn't know about Anzu for quite a while, however. When my father died, he left the estate to Hakima. I was so upset of not having any parents left—at this time, I was just a pup—I ran away. Eventually I came across Anzu's small home, and she recognized me. The last and first time she met me was after I had been born."
"Your mother isn't alive any longer?"
"No. She died giving birth to me."
"What?" Shippou was shocked. "A demon died giving birth? How the hell can that be?"
"I have no idea. It's probably not true, but I suppose I'll never know now that Hakima is dead. He was the one who told me that. My father always refused to talk of the subject. Once I asked him and he turned on me with this great anger in his eyes… and he almost hurt me greatly. Struck me once, then threw me out of his room. I was so frightened of this situation I never mentioned her to anyone until after Inuzuma died. It wasn't strange for me to hear that she died in childbirth, for I didn't know much back then. As time passed I found that it is impossible for a demon to die from giving birth. I suppose Hakima was lying."
"Wouldn't Anzu know?" Shippou asked.
"Oh," Makato blinked. "Shit, I can't believe I never thought of that."
Shippou grinned. "There, there it is." He pointed ahead to a small human community. "We'll be there in a moment. No funny stuff, now."
It was strange for Makato to walk through a village full of humans who stared at him intensely. He simply held his head high and strode on proudly. To his relief, oddly, they reached the correct hut (Makato could smell Kagami in it) and Shippou motioned for him to stay behind. But before he could enter the door, someone burst through it in a frenzy.
"Shippou!?" Raidon yelled, standing tensely in the doorway. "What the hell is he doing here?" He noticed Makato, who was standing with his arms folded. Makato looked at him coolly, even though he recognized his brothers' murderer.
"Raidon! Calm down, and get back inside now!" Shippou stood in front of the young half-demon, ready to stop him from attacking Makato.
"What the fuck are you talking about?!" Raidon almost screamed in his face. "He almost killed Kagami, he tried to kill me, and he's nothing but trouble. Get him out of here now…" he growled ferociously.
"Raidon, what's wrong?"
It was she. Makato's heart skipped a beat, and he felt his face flush every so slightly. Her voice was like chimes ringing, her skin so smooth like a pearl, and her hair was black as a raven's feathers. Her lips made a perfect kiss, and her body set Makato's on scalding fire.
"Kagami!" He cried out before he could stop himself.
Her eyes went wide with shock when she saw who had spoken her name, and gasped loudly. "M-Makato? I thought you died!"
Raidon's eyes burned with hatred, and he flinched at Kagami's words. Trembling with fury, he pushed Shippou away angrily. Launching himself at Makato, he yelled out, "This time you will die, damn it!"
