Chapter Two: Cursed

Shippou stared in shock at the daggers flying at his face, but then he remembered himself and leapt in the air.

"FOXFIRE!" he yelled at his adversary. The said demon charged at him in full speed.

"GYYAAA! Sesshomaru! That's not fair!" he yelled, a pout formed on his face.

Sesshomaru stopped an inch from Shippou and stared down at him.

"You must learn. If you are going to travel with me, you are going to be up against demons just as fast. They won't be as merciful as I." he said with his usual cold demeanor. He looked at the pale blue sky for a moment.

"Come. It is going to rain soon." he said as he turned to walk away. Shippou stared at the ground for a moment. He missed Kagome. It had been three months since she left. He missed her hugs and how she would treat him like her own. She was his second mother, and he lost her.

He bounded after Sesshomaru, still deep in thought. In fact he was so deep in thought that he didn't realize Sesshomaru had stopped, causing him to run strait into Sesshomaru's legs. Shippou flinched, awaiting an insult, but it never came. However, there was a soft, enchanting tune coming closer. Sesshomaru growled.

"Sesshomaru?"

"Silence!" he hissed. He stood unusually still as if waiting for something. Shippou began to put his senses on high alert. All he heard was the person, or what ever singing. He sniffed the air but found nothing.

The singing got closer and Shippou felt himself freeze. When had it gotten so cold? He found he couldn't move. He opened his mouth to ask Sesshomaru what was going on but no sound came. That was when he saw her.

A beautiful woman walked to where they were. She had long, flowing gold hair and pale skin. Her gown was that of pink and blue silk and she had a lovely voice. All about her looked soft and caring. All but her eyes. Their deep crimson pools glittered with malice.

"Well well well. Look at who I have caught." she said, in a way that showed it was no accident. She waved her hand and Sesshomaru spoke.

"Who are you?!" he spat out. She smiled evily.

"Don't you know me? I'm Leyathineyn , Guardian of Forests. I'm here to make a deal with you." she said to Sesshomaru. He glared.

"You see, I need something. Only you can give it to me." she said.

"Why should I give you anything?" he asked. She laughed quietly. It sent shivers down Shippou's spine.

"If you don't you will regret it. I want the Shikon no Tama."



"It is no longer in existence" he said dully. He was growing tired of the witch before him.

"What?" she asked anger evident on her face.

"It is five hundred year in the future." he stated. She frowned for a moment then smiled again.

"Well then. I still have use of you and your little kit!" she said and clapped her hands together.

"I refuse to be used." Sesshomaru growled. She made a fake frown.

"Now now. We won't have any of that. If you help me I'll untie the bonds." she said.

"Fine." Sesshomaru lied. She muttered an incantation under her breath and suddenly they could move again.

Sesshomaru cracked his knuckles and flew at the witch. He stabbed her in the shoulder with his poisonous claws. Leyathineyn gasped in pain and anger. Sesshomaru stared down at her.

"You will pay for this!" she screeched. Sesshomaru raised a brow.

"Will I? And how......" but he was cut off. He felt an odd sensation in the pit of his stomach. He turned to see Shippou withering in pain.

"What have you done?!" he yelled at the witch.

"I have turned you human, Sesshomaru, but you will be an outcast." she said standing up, her wound healed. Sesshomaru's eyes grew wide. He heard Shippou pass out from the pain and transformation.



"But you will be no ordinary human. You and the kit will suffer imortality as humans. You will carry the appearance yet still look different. I will lift this curse under one condition." she said to Sesshomaru, who was on his knees in pain.

"Fine! I'll do what ever. I don't intend on being a worthless human." he said with disgust. She smiled.

"That's a good boy. When you finally meet that girl who has the jewel. Take it. Only then will the curse be lifted. Until then." she said, then dissappeared from sight, leaving the two demons transforming into humans.
