Chapter Two: Things Aren't What They Seem
In a foreign forest, night deeply bestowed. Sesshoumaru caught up in
his sleep by resting upon a nearby tree branch. Rin sat by a fire pit below, tending it
carefully like her Lord said. The fire crackled as she place another wood into the
flame. That's about the only sound that's was made during this period of silence.
Soon a familiar voice interrupted.
"Lord Sesshoumaru! Lord Sesshoumaru! Your faithful servant,
Jaken is here!" a meekly voice shouted.
The bushes ruffled, revealing an imp-like demon carrying a
two-headed staff, and a kimono. It was dyed in a checkered pattern,
consisting of orange and yellow. It included a green fabric at the midsection
for tying. It was pretty much identical to the one Rin wears.
"Hi, Jaken!" Rin said cheerfully. "Is that kimono for me?"
Jaken rudely grumbled, and threw the kimono to the child. Rin
caught it gleefully. After a few seconds of examination, she smile in appreciation
and of approvable. "Thanks, Jaken!"
"I can't believe that worthless dog made me go fetch for a kimono at a
human settlement!" Jaken muttered, bitterly referring to Sesshoumaru. Hearing this,
Sesshoumaru rips off a large tree branch and threw it at the imp.
A sharp pain struck Jaken's head. Nearly falling to the ground, he
held his head in pain. "Owwwwww!!! The hell was that?!"
If his head weren't smarting enough, the large branch that
previously struck him, felled tersely on the imp's foot. Hard.
"Owwwwww!!!" Jaken cried. This time he did fell, nursing his
throbbing head with one hand, and the other free hand with his right foot.
His eyes began to bulk when a familiar shadow looms overhead.
"Next time, don't take too long," Sesshoumaru said impassively
toward the agonizing imp. Jaken gave a nervous laugh. Sesshoumaru wasn't
let him off that easy. "And you best watch your tongue, unless you want it
have an early retirement."
Jaken's eyes widen. He scrambled to Sesshoumaru's feet and grovel
pathetically. "F-f-f-forgive me, Lord Sesshoumaru! I'll never like that ever
again! I'll never ever, ever, do it again!! Please spare my unworthily tongue!"
Before Sesshoumaru could enjoy any more of Jaken's rambling, Rin
cuts in. "I like this kimono! It's so much cleaner and newer! Thanks, Jaken!"
Sesshoumaru gave a slight scoff. "This girl has spared you."
Jaken got up from his gesture, giving a thank you look at Rin. It was
short-lived when Sesshoumaru kicks the little imp out of the campfire area.
The last thing Rin heard was, "Why, Lord Sesshoumaru? Why?!" and
the voice just faded from that point on.
Just as though nothing happen, Rin anxiety ask her lord. "Lord
Sesshoumaru, where is that pretty lady? Is she going to be okay?"
The demon slightly consign his eyes on the human girl before he
answer, "Get some sleep, you'll find out in the morning." With that, he returned
to his attunement. 'Those humans better do they're told.'
~*~*~*~*~*
Rei put on a grim frown as if she were being leaded like a prisoner.
Without a choice, she followed the men who capture her. Her hands were bound
tightly by ropes, and not to mention she's the center of attention in this strange
village. Since everyone is carrying some kind of weapon, escaping is seemingly
suicidal… at least for now.
Trunks on the other hand were knocked out for the time being.
Since he might pose a more potential threat, his entire body was completely
Surrounded by ropes. To add more insults to injury, he's being drag across the
ground like a rag doll.
"Hey!" Rei said angrily. "Where are you taking me?!"
"Quiet, girl!" one of the men barked as he turns around. He threatens, "And
if you say another word, don't forget that everyone here is armed with weapons!"
"Okay, okay..." Rei gushed profoundly. 'They're so rude! I can't wait
until I get these ropes off, then their sorry asses are mine!' Rei began to
glance around at the village. A question mark could practically be seen over her
head.'Where the heck am I? Since when people started using wood and straws
for house material? And what the heck are these people wearing? Is this a
medieval fair or something?'
The walk was arkwardly quiet from this point on. Only the sound of Trunks
being dragged across the ground were active. In a short time, they came to
a halt in front of a run-down hut.
The door was embedded with bars like a prison. Once the door
opens, inside, all the wall were made out of stones. It must be a confinement
for the criminals, Rei thought. 'Wait, I'm no criminal!'
Aggressively, the men shoved Rei into the hut, causing her to crash
on her pale face. Narrowing her eyes on them, she glared. "Hey! I would've
voluntarily walk in, ya know!"
As if the rude capturers ignore her, they threw Trunks right on stop
of her. Before Rei could give them a piece of her mind, the door slam shut, followed
by a large lock.
"They are so dead…" Rei muttered coarsely in the dark room.
"They will make excellent supper," one of the men said, grinning evilly
as the group began walking toward the village.
"What do you think we should make out of them?" another man
asked.
"I don't know, it been so long since I had humans," the first man
replied. "But we'll figure something out."
The men chucked evilly. As they walk through the village entrance,
it began to reveal an ominous, dead looking village. Skulls of humans and
demons were discarded outside the entrance, but where's the body? Things
aren't what they're seem to be.
~*~*~*~*~*
"Miroku, where the hell are you leading us?!" Inuyasha continues to
nag gruffly. The group wondered as well. They have been following Miroku's
lead since the sun have set. It felt like for forever since then.
"Patience, we'll reach the Tao Village in short time. I know these
people. It's where I receive some my training," the monk calmly replied.
The half-demon gave his usual "feh". The walk was silent from that point
on. Kagome tiredly walk alongside her bike. At the same time, she had to endure
the hardship of carrying a large yellow backpack.
Even Sango, the demon slayer of the group, grew wearily.
Then, again, anyone would've if they had to carry a large boomerang behind their
back all day long.
Shippou, a young fox demon and Kirara, a cat-like demon, had the lucky
break of resting in the bike's basket.
Shippou took notice that Kagome were heavily sweating and had a hard
time breathing. "Kagome, are you alright? You're starting to sweat!"
The weigh of her backpack began to take its toll. It consisted mostly
her books for school. As much as many classes Kagome had in High School,
she didn't had much of an option. Of course, there's always the option of flunking
school so it wouldn't interfere with the search for the shikon shards. But according
to Kagome; that's not going to happen.
When Kagome didn't answer, Shippou got worried. Again, he interrogated
with a more arduous tone. "Kagome, why aren't you answering?"
The school girl ceased a fake smile of reassurance. "I'm alright. Don't worry
about me."
Kagome felt someone's palm on her forehead. It was Sango. Her hand stay
there until she came with the decision. "You're starting to burn up, Kagome."
Kagome brush away Sango's hand. "Really, I'm alright!" she reclined.
Sango watched as Kagome walk up ahead to avoid any more confrontation.
"Okay…" Sango said, subtly imbedding her voice.
Inuyasha could hear that the girls were talking about something, but what?
"What the hell is going on back there?!" he yelled without turning his back.
"Kagome doesn't feel well!" Shippou retorted bluntly.
Inuyasha scoffed before he yells back, "Well, tell her to suck it up! The
village is just down the hill!"
~*~*~*~*~*
"Chief!" a local villager yelled.
An old monk look up from his fire pit and to the young man who just
enter his hut. "What is it?" the old man asked succinctly.
"There are some more humans on the way and a couple of demons are
coming this way too," the young man said.
The old man bore an evil smile. His orange Buddhist clothing ruffled as
he got up. Cracking his knuckles, he said, "Good, prepare the usual spell so they
don't expect a thing. We'll be dining greatly tonight."
The young man bowed in a respectable manner. "Yes, chief," he said before
taking his leave.
As the young left, the monk's smile never wanes. In fact, it grew more
sinister. Sitting back down to tend his pot, it was really to eat. Opening the top,
it reveal his food. "Yes… human brains. The best…"
