Chapter 6: Childhood Interrupted
-
Years had past since Shin'yo died, old wounds had healed but that didn't mean there were no scars.
Three pretty girls stood by the forest talking with each other.
"My dad is friends with the village chief!" one girl said. "We go over to his house and eat shrimp with him on the weekends."
"My dad owns a larger plantation then the village chief, he grows the finest rice in Japan." The second girl said.
"Well my dad just became a samurai. We get more money then we can count!" she said.
Then one girl looked to the side and pointed, "Look!"
Seven year old Shio came walking out of the forest with a sad look on his face. He really missed his mother: He missed the way she her homemade honey tea tasted, the way she smiled at him whenever he said something cute, the way she kissed him on the forehead whenever he was sad like this.
He sat down on the grass and gritted his teeth and closed his eyes as tears started to form in them.
"Oh, you poor little thing!"
Shio looked up and a pretty girl about his sister's age stood over him looking sympathetically at him. "What's wrong little guy?" she asked.
He looked down sadly with puppy dog eyes and said in a shaky voice, "This spider demon attacked my village, and my ma died to save us."
"Aw! Poor baby!" the girl hugged him and startled him. His eyes bugged out a little as she stood back up and called to her other two friends, "Girls! Come here! This cute little fox kid lost his mommy!"
The other two pretty girls ran over and obsessed at how cute he was and how sorry they felt for him. Shio looked up at them in confusion as they played with his hair and pinched his cheeks and hugged him, and kissed him.
"He's so adorable!" one of them cooed.
"Kawaii!" another one said.
"Do you wanna play with us?" the third one said.
Shio looked up at them and smiled. This was an attention he had never had before and he REALLY liked it!
-
"Shio!" Sashimi called she ran down the hill under their house. Shicho had gotten a new mansion on a high and steep hill where he trained both of his children.
She got to the bottom of the hill and froze at what she saw.
There in a patch of flowers, Shio sat on a rock in the middle. Five girls, all older and taller then him, where laughing and playing and telling him how cute he was. Shio sat on the rock smiling cutely and laughing with them.
Two of the girls came over and put a little crown made of flowers on his head. "I dub thee!" one of them said, "Prince of Kawiiness!"
The girls and Shio laughed and they kissed him some more.
"Shio!" Sashimi called.
"Huh?" Shio came out of his happy little world and all of the girls silenced and looked over at her.
Sashimi came over looking at the girls, a little jealous that after everything that had been happening, they were able to make him laugh. She frowned at all of them and turned to her little brother. "Father says it's time for training."
"Aw, do I have to go?" Shio asked.
"Yeah, does he have to go?" one of the girls asked.
"YES!" Sashimi said. She grabbed Shio's arm and started to drag him home. "Leave me alone, Sashimi!" he shouted, trying to wrench his arm out of her grip but to no avail. "I don't want to go! Leave me alone!"
"Family is more important Shio!" she looked back at him and shouted.
Shio growled at her then looked back at his new friends. The girls waved to him sadly. "Bye, Shio!" they called.
He watched sadly as they walked away and out of his sight. He glared back at his sister and shouted. "I hate you!"
Sashimi stopped suddenly and stood in shock for a few seconds. She turned to look at him and said, "You don't mean that."
"Yes I do!" he shouted in rage. "I hate you! I hate father for letting mother die! I wish you would die too!"
Sashimi stared into his insolent little green eyes for a second then resumed dragging him back to the mansion.

Inu Yasha woke up one morning, squished inside the hollow inside of a dead tree. That was where he lived and slept, no matter how uncomfortable. At least he was hidden from the demons and the rain. He squeezed out of the tight opening and fell onto the grass below. He got up and heard his stomach rumbling. He looked down at it and scratched it. He went walking toward the nearby village. He had just arrived at it a few months ago, right after the scary villagers chased him away from the last one.
His ears twitched. Far off he could hear people talking and laughing in the distance. Maybe they had food! He scampered over quietly and peaked at them through the bushes. There was a family of humans having a picnic, while their children were over playing by the stream. He looked over at the chicken they were having and drooled. One of the kids fell into the stream and skinned his knee on a rock.
The parents got up and ran over to help the kid and the chicken was left unguarded. Inu Yasha ran over to where the chicken was and reached out to grab it but stopped. It didn't feel right. He was starving, he probably could have eaten five chickens. But the thought popped into his head, 'What would his mother say?' Nodding, he made up his mind to ask the people for a piece, they would understand, right?
"OH MY GOD!"
Inu Yasha jumped and looked up at the people. They were all staring over at him, their eyes filled with anger and fear for what he was.
The mother shouted, "He's trying to steal the chicken!"
The kids grabbed stones from the stream and started tossing them at Inu Yasha. He tried to shield them but not doing very well. Then he ran away before they could hit him anymore.
-
SWISH!
Shicho jumped forward swinging his double bladed sword and Nine year old Shio tried his hardest to block.
"Counter, Shio! Counter!" Shicho shouted.
Ever watchful, Sashimi sat on a fence nearby watching them swordfight. Hot sweat dripped from Shio's face and hair, his expression showed fear of getting hurt by the sword and dislike for fighting altogether.
SHING!
Shio's sword went flying into the air and stuck into the ground a few feet away. Shicho had disarmed him.
Shio's fater sighed and sheathed his sword. "Pick up your sword, Shio, and we'll go home."
Shio sadly went to go get his sword. He had been training to be a top dog for the past three years and even though he was right below the Doberman belt, the highest belt color in the system, he just didn't have the fighter's spirit.
They walked up the high hill toward the mansion where Shicho paused. Shio and Sashimi looked up at him as he told them in a deep and serious tone. "Shio, Sashimi, run toward the house." They looked up at his face wondering why. His blue eyes were concentrated, narrowed straight ahead of him at their house, but he didn't see the house. Then he shouted, "GO! NOW!"
A couple dozen or so spider heads jumped out of the forest fauna, ready to attack.
Shicho drew out his double bladed sword and charged them. Sashimi grabbed Shio's hand and they both started to run for their lives. Shio didn't understand what was going on. It seemed like they were running in an aimless direction to him. All he could see were spider heads jumping around him, trying to bite his cute little head off. Hopefully, Sashimi knew where she was going.
Then all of a sudden, one of the spiderheads jerked out it's hidieous claws and snagged Shio's training pants. He fell over and yelped for his sister, "Sashimi!"
She turned around to see the spider head with it' claws in his pant leg, reeling him in like a fish. "Shio!" she called. She leapt over, her claws raised for her special attack. "SILVER LIGHT CLAWS!" she sliced the arm of the spiderhead clean and quick. She was about to help Shio up, when several more came at them from all sides. She did the only thing she could do, she started blocking all of the attacks that came at her and Shio. They had been backed into a corner, and she was unable to gain the offensive.
Then all of a sudden, the leader of the spider heads crashed the party. She was a giant white spider about the size of a hay wagon. Hair covered her and she glared at them with sixteen blue eyes that glowed. She screeched, and all of the spider heads parted the area for her. Shicho was about to unleash the full power of his double bladed sword on the demon, when he was jumped by the whole spider head army. While he was distracted, the leader of the spiderheads came at the two children. Sashimi tried to help Shio free his foot from the spiderhead arm that was somehow holding him to that spot. The spider head was too quick, it stopped and it's demon energy started to form into a bright orb in front of her mouth. Then behind the sound of the battle, and the hissing and clawing of the spiderhead minions, and the force of energy being drawn together by the leader, they heard the giant spider's voice echo from behind the energy ball, "I want the light!!" then she fired the shot at the two children.
Then before Shio or Sashimi knew what happened, Shicho dropped his sword and jumped in front of the blast, saving both of them from being vaporized at the last second. The only thing left of their dear father when the blast was done, was the lingering magic in the air from the blast, and his bloody double bladed sword over by the spiderheads.
Sashimi felt her heart breaking, the sound of the snapping of fangs and clicking of spider feet disappeared for her. She was very sorrowful when her mother died, but she had always been closer to her father and she was devastated. Daddy's girl sat on the ground and began sobbing like she never had before.
"You're next!" The giant white spider said. But neither child heard her. Shio had seen yet another person die. 'Pa died for us.' He thought over and over again in his mind, and the only thing he could hear outside of that, were Sashimi's hysterical bawling.
Out of the corner of her eye, Sashimi saw Shio move. She wiped her eyes a little to see that he had stood up. His eyes were shadowed by his hair, and he faced the spider demon quietly. Anger gripped him like a Japanese cooking knife, and he with his fragile child mind, and sensitive heart, couldn't control his actions.

Nine year old Inu Yasha woke up. He was always tired because his dreams were always filled with nightmares. He used the tree as a prop to help his stand up, but he stood up too fast and got a little light headed. He swayed for a few seconds then started to slowly walk toward the stream. He felt so tired and so weak, he couldn't even walk straight. He couldn't walk long distance either without getting to tired or lightheaded. He collapsed on his knees by the edged of the stream and looked down at his reflexion. His face was pale and very thin, so thin that he could trace the bones in his jaw. His expression was usually blank and/or sad. All other emotions besides fear, hunger, tiredness, and depression were foreign to him. He looked at the dark circles under his eyes. He had them, even though he was only nine. He dipped his shaky hands into the reflexion and cupped the cool water from the stream in his hands. He brought the water up to his lips and slurped silently. Then he took a hand full of water and splashed it into his face.
POW!!
Did anyone get the number of that truck?
Inu Yasha sat up and rubbed his soar arm. He looked up at the three full demon boys who stood there with their arms crossed.
"Inu Yasha, what did we tell you about coming near our stream?" the tall one in the middle asked. His two brothers smirked down at Inu Yasha as if to say, 'boy are you gonna get it.'
"Get up, dogface! Act like a man!" the middle one said.
Inu Yasha strained to stand up, in his weakness, he fell over again. The middle boy kicked him hard in the back and Inu Yasha cried out in pain.
The middle boy laughed at how sick he was and said, "What a baby!"
The brother on the left said, "I've seen humans that were stronger then him!"
The middle boy got down on one knee and pulled Inu Yasha's kimono open to show his chest. You could see his rib cage perfectly outlined. "He's not even a hanyo anymore! He's almost dead!"
"A dead hanyo is better then a living one!" the brother on the right said.
The middle boy laughed and punch Inu Yasha across the face, but the dog boy felt to weak to do anything about it. He just felt his eyes burn and he closed them quickly.
"Look guys! The baby's gonna cry!" the middle boy laughed, and his other brother's followed him.
"He's so sad, he even disgraces hanyos!" the brother on the left said.
"Who cares about that??" the middle brother said. "He disgusts me even more! I mean all he is, is a half blooded little orphan!"
"To bad your mother had to be human." The one on the right mocked Inu.
"I heard she was some cheap whore his dad did it with after a battle." The one on the left said.
"Probably!" the middle boy said. "Humans are so weak. He must've gotten his stupidity and ugliness from her.
Suddenly, Inu Yasha's shaky little hand raised and clasped the hand the boy was grabbing him with.
The boy looked at him slightly interested as Inu growled low in his throat.
-
"Give me the light!" the white spider screeched. Her spider head minions charged Shio and Sashimi. Sashimi stopped crying when she realized that Shio had slid into the Tog Dog Honor Stance. It was a stance that was supposed to let the enemies know that they had insulted his honor, and for that, they would have to pay the ultimate price.
Then Shio charged then, quick like a wolf demon, angry as a Taurian demon. She watched as within minutes, her own brother, three years younger then she, took down the whole spider demon army in a tempest of martial arts and release of uncontrollable anger. He stood in front of the leader, panting like a dog from fatigue. Then without warning, he collapsed from fatigue. The giant spider started to charge him ready to kill, but instead was split in half by Sashimi and the double bladed sword. She landed on the grass and the two halves of the spider fell on either side of her. She held up the double bladed sword and it glinted in the sun's light. She sheathed it in her own belt then went over to pick up her baby brother. She lifted him into her arms, and heard him whimper in his unconscious state, "Pa."
She looked down at him sadly, then sighed and started to walk back to the house. It was very clear to her now, that Shio had passed the Top Dog training course, revealing that even though he didn't like it, deep down, he was an ingenious fighter.
-
Little Inu Yasha raised his small and shaky hands to grip the older boy's hands. He felt a deep dark fire in himself like he had never felt before. It was a strange and new emotion that put pictures in his head, of the three demon boys being tortured beyond the point of sanity. Questions came into his mind, like what color their blood might be.
"No-" little Inu Yasha said in a low, gruff voice. He raised his head a little to scowl angrily at the mean demon boy. "No-one talks-about my mother-like that."
The other two boys found his threat humorous. The boy holding him by the collar said, "Oooh, brave now, are we?" He raised his hand in a knife hand shape. "Brothers," he said. "I think I'll just put this sick little dog out of his misery." His hand flew.
SH-WACK!
Little Inu Yasha's fight cracked against the side of the guy's face and he went flying into the trunk of a tree, snapping it in half at impact.
The other two brothers stared in shock as Inu Yasha drew up, a newfound strength of anger and hate, ready to kick the living hell out of all three of them. Which is exactly what he did.
Afterwards, Inu Yasha didn't want to get rid of the emotion. It made him feel secure, because he knew that if he where to trust one person, then he would fall into weakness again. He might lose someone very important to him and feel the loss of his mother again.
