I'm back!! Yay! I read all of your wonderful reviews and noticed alot of
you were confused by Inuyasha's actions and Kagome's Jewish remark (by the
way, i'm not prejudice against Jews cause my grandfather is Jewish) Anyway,
most Jewish boys get a circumcision when they're young which is a slight
snipping of their...um...boyhood. Inuyasha was trying to "circumcise"
Miroku....just not as gracefully or as clean as rabbi's do. Does that help
at all?
Predictable Chaos - Roses
"Hey butt-head.." Inuyasha was leaning against a giant oak tree when he spotted Sesshomaru over the horizon. The great demon lord had detected the hanyou's scent miles ago, when Inuyasha flew past Rin and himself, but let the half breed believe he was hidden from his brother. Sesshomaru paid his half brother a glance but said nothing and continued to walk. This only frustrated Inuyasha. He replayed Kagome's stupid request in his mind.
' Go find Sesshomaru, Inuyasha..'
' Why me?!'
' Because you have the best nose! '
' So? Send Shippo or Sango and Kirara..'
' Dammit Inuyasha!! All I ask is that you go stop him from making the biggest mistake of his life and all you can do is sit here and -' Inuyasha fell face first to the ground. Kagome threw a palm over her mouth after she realized she said 'sit' . But the spell had done its job and sent Inuyasha hunting for his older brother.
"Alright...we can either do this the hard way or the easy way. See, the thing is, Kagome and Kalea want you to come back. Why? I don't know. Women are strange creatures. Just turn around and follow me back to the clearing in the woods and we'll all be happy." Sesshomaru paused by the last statement that Inuyasha made.
"I can't."
"What? You can't come back? Of course you can....just turn around and your feet will do the rest."
"No. I can't...be happy."
"Why not?"
"Because for me to be happy i'd have to have Kalea and I can't have her!"
"Sure ya could.."
"No! I can't make her happy....do you know what life would be like for her? She'd be looked down upon by the gods. I can't do that to her.."
"So you at least care for her..." Sesshomaru gave a silent answer. Inuyasha contemplated the situation before talking again.
Rin was silently watching from her perch on a nearby tree stump. Sesshomaru had decided to talk to the other white-haired man, however something was troubling the both of them. She pondered at what on earth could make them so emotional and flustered. The orphan girl kicked at a stone with her good foot before a feeling of another presence rushed by her. It wasn't a youkai, Rin was sure of that. In the months that she and Sesshomaru had spent together, she had learned many skills. Focusing on auras and determing whether or not it was youkai had been one of them. The shadow braced itself against a large tree, its back facing the bark. The thing was obviously trying to remain in the shadows.
The figure's face was hidden by the hood of a giant black cloak but Rin could tell it was a woman. The child turned herself around on the stump to get a better look at the mysterious lady. The woman's face ws pale and drenched in tiny sweat droplets, a single lemony ringlet peeking out of the hood. Rin let out a small gasp as the woman doubled over in pain and fell to the ground. Her nails tore into the grass and dirt. The child limped over to the woman and knelt by her, placing a comforting hand on her back. Rin couldn't do much in her condition, but could provide a sense of contentment. She continued to crawl closer to the hunched over woman. Why was she in so much pain? Surprise and happiness stretched over the child's face.
"Roses!!" Both Sesshomaru and Inuyasha's eye darted to the sound of a child's voice. Inuyasha crunched his brow at the look of concern pasted on his brother's face.
"Rin..."
"Yea. What about her?"
"She's gone..."
"Good. It's about time the runt found someone else to hang all over."
"Someone took her.." Inuyasha sniffed at the air. The scent was familiar but had a spark of something else, something Inuyasha couldn't put his finger on.
"Couldn't you smell who it was?" Sesshomaru gave Inuyasha a look that carried the same question. But they both knew the answer. Neither of them could place the scent. It carried a scent of pain, not like a sickness or a disease but an actual pain that was taking place.
Kagome tugged at the pocket that secured the Shikon no Tama. It had been bugging her all day and she couldn't wait to get rid of it. Kagome was amused at the thought of finally ridding herself of the jewel. It was the thing that brought her back to Feudal Japan time and time again and kept her connected to Inuyasha. She wanted to rid herself of the one thing that kept her here in the place she loved. A slight rustle came from a bush beside Kagome. Kagome jumped at the sudden noise.
"Psst." Kagome stood and peered over the bush to find the teeny Rin crouched behind the shrubbery, whispering into the leaves. Kagome smiled at the innocence of Rin.
"PSST!!"
"Ahem." Rin poked her head up from the bush, peered at the suroundings, and pulled Kagome towards her; causing the teenager to fall face first in the bushes. Rin tried her best to keep the teenager from making more noise.
"Be quiet! You want Rin and Kagome to get caught?!"
"What are you talking about Rin? Shouldn't you be with Sesshomaru? Did you run away?! We need to get you back then..." Kagome went to grab for the child's hand but she pulled away.
"I found someone.."
"Rin....is this another lizard. Miroku told me all about Alfred the lizard that you found in the forest-" Kagome stared in shock as the child grabbed the hand of a woman hidden behind tree.
"Go on...pull your hood back like you did before for me..." The woman slowly pulled back her hood and Kagome brought her hand to her mouth to muffle her scream.
"W-What happened?" The woman opened her mouth to reply but fell limp. Kagome fell to her knees and scurried over to the woman. The once lovely and sublime ringlets were matted to her face by the sweat the poured from her skin. Her flesh was ghostly white and freezing, even though the sweat would lead others to believe it was hot. Kagome clambered out of the bushes to find Miroku. He could help lifting the woman from the ground and getting her to shelter.
"Miroku! I need you he-....what are you looking at?" Kagome glanced bewilderingly at the monk and then at the bright light he was staring at. A beautiful woman stood in the light and walked forward.
"I'm too late aren't I? Has she already gone through with it? Has Kalea given up her godly duties?!"
It'd be longer but my rear is killing me! Next chapter: The Fate of The Jewel. ( I know , I know...THIS was supposed to be that....but I needed something to lead up to it. You'll figure it out next chapter...)
