Chapter 2: The strange new girl
"Rin.W-what's going on?" Hikari was looking around her silently. First at Rin then at her side. Her eyes drifted onto the blood soaked ground, she looked at Jaken whose eyes were huge with awe. Finally she looked at Sesshoumaru. She looked him over a minute then she asked again "Hello? What's going on? How did I get healed?" She was looking Sesshoumaru right in the eyes.
"I healed you with Tenseiga." Sesshoumaru said in his usual cool voice. Hikari looked at him a little before she spoke again. "Why?"
"I have decided. When Jaken & I leave Rin alone, you will be her Guardian." Hikari looked a little stunned for a moment then shrugged & said: "OK."
Jaken began to protest when he saw the look in Sesshoumaru's eye. Rin hugged Hikari close & was giggling happily. "Hikari this is gonna be so fun." Rin was so happy about this that she was hopping up & down.
"Rin, Hikari, come we are leaving." Jaken stumbled after his master looking at the girl that was now sheathing a sword that had destroyed an entire weasel youkai colony. And this girl was only human! Hikari grabbed up some shuriken that she thought she might need & walked off after them. Rin talked all the way back to Ah-Un to her. "Why do you call yourself Hikari instead of Kayla? Do you have any family?" Hikari knew she would have to tell her story soon. "Whoa, I'll explain everything later." Hikari smiled down at the child who looked a little agitated. They boarded Ah-Un silently & took off into the night.
Ah-Un glided softly down to the forest clearing. As they landed Rin woke with a start in Hikari's arms. As Hikari got ready to go to sleep she noticed that Rin was pulling on her braid again. "Um.Hikari-sama would you tell Rin your story now?" Rin's large pleading eyes made Hikari smile. "Alright Rin I will. I think Jaken has been dying to know too." Hikari walked over to a stone & sat down. She cleared her throat a little & began her tale.
"I am not originally from this time period Rin. I'm from the future." Rin looked a little confused for a moment "Then how did Hikari-sama come to this time?" Hikari thought quietly to herself for a moment. How was she going to answer that question? Would Rin-chan understand her story? Oh well, better to tell the truth. "I fell down a well." Hikari watched as Rin gave her a puzzled look. "Hikari-sama fell down a well?" Hikari smiled. "OK. How about this, I'll tell the story, & if you have any questions still when I'm done, you can go ahead & ask." Rin nodded & sat waiting for the story. Out of the corner of her eye Hikari could see that Jaken was listening to everything that she said. Sesshoumaru though.well she couldn't tell if he was listening or not. "Alright, I'll start at the beginning. When I was little I used to live in a different country. It's a country called America. You wouldn't know about it because it doesn't exist yet. Anyway, my father was working in a big company back then & he got transferred to live here in Japan. I went to school, & had friends & stuff, but it wasn't the same. One day though I found one of these puppies laying outside my house." Hikari pulled the shard out of her pocket. "I thought it was pretty cool so I kept it with me all the time, as a sort of lucky charm. There was this old shrine by my house. So just for fun one day I went over to check it out. I stumbled on an old dusty well. I was looking inside when someone opened the door behind me. I wasn't expecting someone to come in so I jumped. Unfortunately, I slipped & fell into the well. I landed hard on my back. I started to climb back out of the well when I noticed that I wasn't in the little enclosed building anymore. I had gone into the past." Hikari sighed, looking at her feet. She looked at Rin who was looking back with an anxious face. "What happened next Hikari-sama?" Rin was loving this story. Hikari smiled & continued. "As I climbed out of the well I was unaware that the shard had fallen out of my pocket. So, I tried to go back to my time. I jumped back down into the well but I was still in the feudal ages. I couldn't figure out why I was stuck in this time. Fed up with it all, I decided to do some scouting. I walked around the forest that I was stuck in for some time. Finally I decided that I would think over my situation, & try to get back home." Rin was alert, eyes focused, absorbing every word that was spoken like a sponge. Hikari drew a deep breath & continued. "It wasn't long before I discovered that it must've been the jewel shard that had aloud me to time hop. Why had I not been able to go back then? I had asked myself. I decided to have a look at this mysterious jewel. I reached into my pocket only to discover that the shard wasn't in my pocket anymore. I proceeded to check my other pockets, but to no avail. I could not find the jewel anywhere. I even searched the pack that I had been carrying with me. Nothing in there but my clothes that I have on now & my shuriken. I walked back to the well, but it was nowhere to be found." Hikari spotted Jaken inching closer. "I gave up & went on my own way. I got dressed into my ninja suit, grabbed up my katana that I had with me, & took off toward the mountain that you were on Rin-chan." Rin smiled at the mention of her name. "I stumbled onto some fruit trees at the bottom of the mountain & decided to stock up on food. I started up the mountain, soon enough I ran across you being attacked by that youkai. And that brings us to the conclusion of my story. Now, do you have any questions?" Rin sat there for a moment. Then she looked up at Hikari & asked: "Why did Hikari-sama want the shard of the shikon jewel from Rin?" Hikari smiled softly. "So I could go back to my time. I needed it to go back through the well." Rin seemed satisfied with that answer. "Where did you get your katana from?" Hikari thought for a moment. "I brought it from my time. I guess I forgot to mention that in my story. It was slung over my back. I was going to go do some practice with it when I fell into this time." Rin looked satisfied with that answer too. "Rin has no more questions." Hikari & Rin both smiled & stood up. Hikari resumed getting ready to go to bed while Rin walked over to sit by Sesshoumaru-sama. Jaken walked towards his lord too. Hikari finally settled down, head on her pack, curled into a small ball. She was asleep in no time.
Sesshoumaru watched her silently from his perch on the fallen tree. Rin was asleep on his arm & Jaken stood wide-awake by him. Jaken also was watching the girl who slept not too far away. "My Lord, what is this human doing with us?" Sesshoumaru's eyes darted toward the little frog youkai. Jaken stepped back in fear. "She will be a good protector for Rin." Sesshoumaru spoke in a warning tone. Jaken's gaze lingered on the girl for a moment before he spoke again. "Does Lord Sesshoumaru believe this girl's story?" Jaken was speaking mostly to himself. "I believe that she is not from this place." Sesshoumaru looked at the girl who was to be Rin's protector. "She fights pretty well does she not Sesshoumaru-sama?" Jaken was not looking at the girl any longer, but at his master. Sesshoumaru simply stared back at him. He saw no reason to answer that question. He had not even seen the girl in action. Rin seemed to like her pretty well. Then again so did Ah-Un. Jaken showed no sign of interest in the girl. It would not hurt to ask. "Jaken." The little youkai jumped at the mention of his name. He turned nervously toward his master. "What do you think of this girl from the future?" Jaken was stunned. Lord Sesshoumaru.wanted his opinion? "I think she is strong & will make a good companion to Rin-chan." Jaken looked up at his master. Was he satisfied with this answer? Sesshoumaru gave no signs of being displeased. Jaken let out a sigh. What was this girl's personality like? She had not talked much since she had come to travel with them. Maybe tomorrow she would tell more of her personality.
Hikari awoke only to find Rin standing over her staring into her face curiously. "Rin? 'Yawn' what is it?" "Rin wants to know about Hikari-sama's family." Hikari was rubbing her eyes, stretching, & yawning, normal things you do when you first wake up. Jaken was staring at them idly, while Ah-Un stomped toward the two girls. "Why do you ask Rin?" Hikari was looking around. She spotted Sesshoumaru looking down a path that led to who knows where. "Rin wants to know what families in the future are like." Rin wasn't about to give up because Hikari-sama was still tired. "Please tell Rin." Those big pleading brown eyes, Hikari couldn't say 'no'. "Alright Rin what do you want to know?" Hikari was brushing out her hair with a comb that she had pulled out of her pack. Rin smiled, she was going to hear more about Hikari-sama's home in the future! "What is your family like? Does Hikari-sama have a mother, father, brother, or sister?" Hikari had finished combing her hair & was in the middle of braiding it. "I have a mother & father. I also have a younger sister & brother & an older brother. We have a pet dog named Hikaru that lives at our house." "What is Hikari- sama's house like?" Hikari wasn't quite sure what she meant. "My house is big & white. It has 8 rooms, 2 bathrooms, & a basement." "Umm.Hikari-sama." "Yes Rin?" "What is a batroom?" Hikari burst into laughter. Then leaning down & whispering into Rin's ear she said: "That's where you go to relieve yourself." The stunned look on Rin's face made Hikari giggle more than before. "Maybe I'll show you what I mean sometime." Rin brightened up at that prospect. "Really Hikari-sama? Could we all go to see this house in the future?" "Only if Sesshoumaru-sama says it's OK. I want them to see it too someday." Hikari was already planning everything to do if they were aloud a voyage back to her time. She watched as Rin skipped gleefully over to Sesshoumaru. "Sesshoumaru-sama can we all go to visit Hikari-sama's time someday?" If Sesshoumaru had a weakness for those big brown eyes too, hikari could not tell. His face stayed emotionless no matter what. Or maybe it was just that Hikari could not tell when he was happy or mad yet. She should speak to him more often. She had not even thanked him for saving her yet, actually she didn't know what to say. 'Thank you for saving my life Sesshoumaru-sama, I really appreciate it?' No, she would just have to be a good bodyguard for the girl that reminded her so much of her younger sister. Words brought her back to earth from her pondering. "Hikari, come here." It was Sesshoumaru's cool voice that had brought her back. "Hai." Hikari walked over toward Sesshoumaru. Noticing as she walked that Jaken wore a confused look & Rin was giving off the biggest smile she could muster. "Yes, Sesshoumaru-sama?" "To get to your time you require a shard of the Shikon Jewel." It was a statement than a question. "Hai, Sesshoumaru- sama." Hikari was confused. What did Sesshoumaru-sama want? Was he going to allow a trip back to Hikari's house? "And you would be willing to take us to your time?" Sesshoumaru's eyes watched Hikari's every move. "Hai, Sesshoumaru-sama. I would be glad to take everyone back to my time. I'm not sure about Ah-Un though." She said the last part mostly to herself. "So, then lets go to this place." Hikari looked up at him surprised. Rin beamed more than before & started to do a little dance of joy. Jaken's mouth fell open, Hikari was glad he wasn't able to protest. "Right now Sesshoumaru- sama?" Sesshoumaru looked down at her. "Hai."
They all boarded Ah-Un carefully. Sesshoumaru decided that it would be easier to go back to the mountain & follow Hikari back to the well from there. As they arrived Hikari couldn't help but check for any signs of the weasel youkai tribe. They glided softly down to the bottom of the mountain. "Now, Hikari, can you retrace your steps from here?" Hikari looked around. This was the place that she had come from. "Hai, Sesshoumaru-sama."
They arrived after not long of a trek though the woods at an old dried up well with bones at the bottom. Rin shivered when she looked down at the bones. "This well is scary." She said still shivering a little. "Are you sure you know what you're doing girl?" Jaken asked angrily & a little accusingly. "No, not really Jaken-sama." Jaken sputtered with anger. This wench was going to endanger Lord Sesshoumaru! Behind him Sesshoumaru as pleased with the girls answer. She had not done this going back so it proved no point for her to say that it was safe. "Jaken if your so afraid then I'll go first & come back to tell you if it's safe or not. Or if it doesn't go to my time." "And if it doesn't do either?" "Then I guess you'll know it's not safe." Hikari was smiling wickedly at the little toad youkai who was sputtering with frustration this time. "Well, here goes nothing." Hikari said as she grasped tight to the little shard & flung herself into the well. They watched as she fell.& then she disappeared. In no time she was back again. Climbing out of the well & smiling. "It goes back to my time!" She said triumphantly. "OK how are we gonna do this? Oh! I know! Rin you hold my hand, Rin you hold Sesshoumaru-sama's hand, & Sesshoumaru-sama you hold Jaken's hand." They all did as they were instructed. The two youkai were a little stunned at holding hands though. "On the count of three we all jump in, OK? One, two.three!" cold wind & a satisfying rush washed over them as they jumped through the well. They all held their breath as they landed on the other side. They climbed out of the well nimbly. They were in a dark stuffy old building. The well was sitting in the middle of the building with a porch-like wooden frame all around it. As they mounted the steps Rin couldn't help but smile. They were finally going to see what the future was like!
End of ch.2 Well that's it for this chapter. Hope you liked it. I did. Now about Hikari, her ninja outfit is like that that of Misao's from Rurouni Kenshin. Her braid is like hers too. Only her face isn't & neither are her bangs. Her long bangs are combed back with her braid, so that none are flying around on her forehead. Her ears are pierced though. (Even though I haven't mentioned so far that they are.) Her eyes are blue. I just thought that blonde hair & blue eyes would be the most uncommon thing to see in Japan, modern or feudal. Oh, one lil thing that I left out. Hikari calls herself Hikari instead of Kayla because when she moved to Japan she thought she would need a more Japanese sounding name. So she picked 'Hikari'. Which if you don't already know means 'light'. I am not entirely sure if Rin & the rest of the cast would know about ninjas & shuriken or not. So just bare with me, mmk? My facts probably won't be on target. I'm not sure of what went on in the feudal era of Japan, so don't get all pissy. Sorry for those of you who are sensitive to this but I'm not great at grammar either so don't grade the story on that! Oh, the story is rated PG-13 for violence, language, & uh.provocative jokes. Thank you for understanding.
