Chapter 3..Woooo.. ^-^ Here goes...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Eric followed the man into his house, carrying Jessi with him. He stopped Eric in the main hall of his house, saying he had to neaten up the living room before we could enter. Eric sat down Jessi down gently, and sat next to her to keep her up.
Eric glanced around his main hall. He had but one picture hanging on the wall on the wall on the right when you first walk in. The picture was of himself standing next to his older sister, they both looked really happy. In each corner of the hall was a potted plant of sort. Hanging from the ceiling in the center of the room, was a single lamp, but a fairly large one.
Just as Eric looked to Jessi and sighed of boredom, the man came back. He told Eric to bring Jessi into the living room, so he did. Eric walked to the corner and put Jessi in the cushioned seat that was there, he then walked to the couch that sat against one wall of the room, and sat down. The man brought 3 cups of green tea from the kitchen, placed them on the coffee table that stood adjacent to the couch, then sat down next to Eric.
"So, Malik. What do you do in your spare time?" Eric asked.
"Never the same thing," he replied, grabbing a cup of green tea and sipping it gently.
"I see," Eric responded.
Malik nodded and looked to Jessi, "What is she to you?"
"Oh, Jessi? She is a great friend, and is like a sister to me," Eric said smiling.
"That's nice," Malik smiled, "Sisters are great."
"Yea, I don't have an actual blood sister though."
"Oh, that is too bad."
Jessi started to stir and mumble a little. She yawned and woke up, rubbing her eyes. She shot a glance around the whole room, still slightly dazed. She then spotted Malik.
"MALIK!" she screeched, ran over to Malik and glomped him with all of her might, not releasing until he turned the color of his eyes.
Malik breathed heavily to regain all his lost breath, "Nice to meet you too, Jessi."
Jessi shoved Eric out of his seat, and cuddled up with Malik. He just sipped his green tea from the floor as he watched Malik sweatdrop.
Malik sighed and looked to Jessi, "So, Eric tells me you are like a sister to him. Do you feel the same?"
Jessi smiled, "Yes. Eric is like a big brother to me."
Malik smiled, and smiled bigger still when Jessi stopped cuddling with him, "Brother and Sister. It's such a great relationship isn't it?"
Eric smiled and nodded, "It is."
"Yup," Jessi said cheerfully.
"Always look out for each other, even if the other does something stupid, like let an evil spirit take control of him, and quest for global domination," Said Malik, his smile fading.
"Of course," Jessi said.
Eric let out a, "Hm."
Both Malik and Jessi looked to Eric. Staring in wonder.
"What do you mean, 'hm'?" Malik asked.
"I think he has an idea for his inspiration," Jessi said.
"Do you?" Malik asked.
Eric nodded, "Yea."
"Let's hear it," Jessi said grinning.
Eric nodded again, "A Brother and a sister, with a very close relationship. They lost their mother and father, and rely on each other to get by. They face alot of hardships, and almost don't get out alive at one point, but together they pull through."
Malik smiled, "Sounds good."
"I guess," Eric said softly.
"Not good enough again?" Jessi asked.
"Right," Eric replied.
"Well then let's get on with our journey!" Jessi said with much enthusiasm.
Eric nodded, "Malik, we'll be going. Thanks for your hospitality."
"No problem," He said, "If you have to go, at least let me put your green tea in bottles for you."
"Sure, thanks," Jessi said smiling big.
Malik filled 2 bottles with green tea and gave them to Jessi and Eric. He walked them to the front door and saw them off.
Jessi and Eric walked down the path for a while, and Jessi was daydreaming about Malik. Eric was wondering, as usual, who they'd meet next. They passed many houses, but one place caught Eric's eye. A fairly small cabin stood in the middle of the town, Eric did not decide to stop there though.
After more walking they arrived at a forest. There was a sign in front of it.
"The Forest of Inu-Yasha," Jessi read, "Should we be worried?"
"Na, let's go on in," Eric said, and so they did go into the forest.
