Chapter 19 Part 2

Here's where I left off last time. Sorry again. ........................................................................

Hikari told everyone that she was sorry that they had to walk so far but they didn't mind. They were all stunned to see a car sitting in the driveway with a license plate that they couldn't read on it. Hikari took one look at it & gasped. "Oh shit. No way is she here." She said. Looking around expectantly she ran forward. "What's going on?" Miroku asked running after her. The others followed after them. "I'd know that car anywhere. The license plate says 'otaku' in English. It's my friend Heather that likes to show up at odd times to visit me." Miroku skidded to a halt. "Was she the one that we saw in the well?" Hikari nodded. "The one & only." She said but skidded to a halt. She had seen what she was looking for. On the roof was a girl that was sprawled out with her eyes closed. Her outfit was like those of a schoolgirl from Japan but not much like it in another sense. The skirt was a plaid compilation of greens, blacks, yellows, & reds. The top was a polo white shirt that had a collar. The freckles that had dotted her face since before she could remember were still covering her nose, & cheeks. Her golden hair was darker than from her childhood but still blonde. The length had changed of the hair though. Instead of to her ears, the hair fell to the end of her shoulder blades. It was held up in a single ponytail that swept down to the top of her shoulders. She blinked against the sun as she opened her eyes & rolled over. "What in the hell are you doing on my roof girl?!" Hikari called up to her in English. Hikari smiled big at her. "You dirty Sonnuvabitch! I've been waiting for you for almost two weeks now! Hikaru was starting to worry! Where did you sneak off to?" She called back down standing up & laughing down at her friend. Hikari laughed back. "You'll never change Heather Dunaway! Come on down! I want you to meet my friends! Plus I gotta raise hell with you for living in my house for so long! You probably screwed up everything!" Heather giggled as she walked back to the other end of the roof away from Hikari. "Hey, I said come down not stay up!" Hikari called. Heather's voice came back over the roof. "I know. I'll be right down." Suddenly it sounded like she was running. And indeed when she appeared at their end of the roof again she had run from one end to the other. Taking a leap she sailed to the ground. Her skirt puffed out to Miroku's delight only to see that she was wearing green nylon shorts under the skirt. He lowered his head with a grumble. Heather landed next to him with a smile. "I wear them for just such an occasion she said to him with a smile. He was astounded that the girl could speak his language. "I uh." He began. Heather smiled at him while she disappeared & reappeared by Hikari. "So, you've been gone to the Sengoku Jidaii huh?" Hikari took a step back. "How did you.?" Hikari asked with a quizzical look. The girls were speaking English again & none of the people from Japan could understand a word of it except for Kagome who was trying hard to translate it. "Well, Hikaru told me then I searched your minds. Or did Hikaru not tell you how to do that yet?" Hikari shook her head. "I didn't get to learn much from him. I took off for the Sengoku Jidaii almost exactly after I had learned of what I was." Heather nodded & put her arm around her friends' shoulder. "My friend, let's sit down. Your in for a good story & a decent amount of training." Hikari groaned. She hated long stories. When they entered the house Hikari was smothered in a hug from Hikaru. "Hikari, I was worried." He said as he squeezed the life from her. Hikari poked his shoulder with a finger to show him that she couldn't breath but he took no notice. Heather poked his shoulder & carefully turned his head to look at Hikari's blue face. "Ah." He said releasing her. Hikari gasped for breath while Hikaru apologized. "It's Ok Hikaru, I'm fine." Hikari turned back to her friend's in the door. "Everyone this is Hikaru, my friend who is also my pet dog & guardian." The dog-ears popped up on his head when he noticed Inuyasha & Sesshoumaru. "I see you made new friends." He said. Everyone nodded. Hikari skipped the names for he already knew theirs if he was reading their minds. "Hikaru I think I'm going to need training. See this." Hikari held up the sword. Hikaru took a step back. "So, that's were it went." He said in a hushed voice. Taking the sword in one clawed hand he looked it over. "You didn't want to make this sword did you?" Hikari shook her head. "Hogasha made it. I didn't want to." Hikari explained. Hikaru looked up at her. "Hogasha.I see. I hate to tell you but it was not Hogasha that is your other self that made this sword." Hikari raised an eyebrow. "Who then?" She asked. "It was the one that you met. It was Hana. Megami Hogasha has not awakened yet. I see that you received your dragon.but not the right one. Tell me how did you receive Kuroi?" He picked the tiny dragon up, much to its disgust. "Yours is white like the one that little Rin has got there. Did you.?" He raised an eyebrow at her. Hikari picked Saisei back up & set him on the counter. "I gave Shiro's egg to Rin. I gave myself the egg with Saisei in it. Yes, I had to fight Kuroi & yes, he died." She said. "And Magagoto?" He asked. Hikari gave him a stern look. "You can read minds, read it." She said & walked away toward the counter. Saisei jumped onto her shoulder again. Heather suddenly jumped about three feet in the air with a brief word of shock. "Oh!" She said. When she landed she had her hands over her butt & had whirled to face Miroku. "Can I help you?" She asked. He grinned at her. "I was wondering Miss." He dropped off. Heather smiled at him. "Heather, Heather Dunaway's the name." She said. "I was wondering Miss Heather if you would bear my child?" Heather froze. Turning in a creaky way she looked at Hikari in a horrified look. "Is this dude for real?" She asked in English. Hikari nodded. "He's used to being turned down so don't feel bad about doing it. He asks every pretty girl he sees." She answered in English. Miroku waited till the jibberish was to see what she would say. "Uh.sorry but no." Heather said. He smiled at her still. "I see so there's someone else?" Heather shook her head. "No." He gave her a raised eyebrow. "Then what were you saying?" Heather shrugged. "Beats me." She said & strolled away, leaving him to ponder her meaning. "Let me show you how to properly use your dragon." Heather said after she had crossed the room & made sure to keep Miroku in the corner of her eye. "Hisui, come." Hikari said holding out an arm. A tiny light appeared & took the shape of a black dragon. Little stars twinkled around the dragon while she flexed her wings & gave a tiny roar. "This is Hisui, my dragon. I have trained her in all the capabilities that she should be able to perform in this form. Things like Transfiguring into other objects, bringing objects from a place that's not in the room, delivering things, & transportation. Small things for a tiny form like this. Now wait until they can grow into their more adult forms. Then they can fly you around & stuff. Anyway I'll have her give the info to Saisei here & Shiro since he's really you. Then we'll have to work on your powers." Heather put on finger on Hisui's forehead then placed a finger on Saisei's forehead. The other watched patiently while Heather's forehead glowed. In less than no time she removed her finger s from both dragons & clapped Hikari on the shoulder. "Now go get ready I'll relay the other stuff after I have a drink." Heather pointed one finger skyward. A red ball illuminated the tip of the finger & shot through the roof. The beam pierced nothing while it shot through the house & into the sky above. Hikari watched while a small 'pop' issued from the room & a case of American beer fell into her arms. Heather hugged it to herself & pulled out a can. "Heather!" Hikari exclaimed when she popped the tab & took a drink from it. Heather turned one eye her way. "Sorry, do you want some too?" She asked handing a new can to Hikari. Hikari shook her head. "You're not old enough in your country & neither am I!" She exclaimed while Heather took another drink. "Don't you have to be 21 to drink that stuff?" She asked her. Heather nodded. "Yeah but I've been 21 for about 3 years now if I remember correctly." Hikari grabbed her shoulders. "3 years?! Heather, your only 19 like me!" The girl gave her a sly look. "I knowww." She said in a happy tone. A bright smile crossed her face at Hikari's stunned look. "Oh, don't act so surprised go get ready to go." Hikari ran toward the stairs with a final look at her friend. Heather turned toward the group when Hikari had left. "Well, who else wants one?" She asked holding one out in her hand. Miroku took it from her hand, then carefully studied it. "What is this elixir that has Hikari-san so angry?" He asked. Heather smiled. "She's not angry, she's just stunned that I'm drinking the stuff. And it's no elixir, it's a brew. Its called beer, good stuff." Heather took another drink. "Its not poison or anything but I'm not really supposed to have this until I'm.lets see this October.about 2 years give or take 1." She said counting her next birthday off on her fingers. The others stared at her. "What?" She asked seeing their expressions. Inuyasha cocked an ear at her. But Miroku voiced his thoughts first. "Your eyes are strange. One minute they appear to be gray, the next they're blue or yellow. What color is that?" Heather gave him a quizzical look. "Ya know, a lotta people tell me that, but I can never see a difference when I look in the mirror. Anyway they're called Hazel. Funny name. They're not exactly any particular color though." Heather watched as Inuyasha's ears swiveled. "Is that all that's strange so far about me?" She asked with a smile. Inuyasha raised an eyebrow. "Your voice is funny." He said. Kagome planted an elbow in his ribs. "Inuyasha." She warned in a whisper. He stiffened at the thought of the effects of the 'S' word. Heather only laughed. "Yeah, I know. When I was little I had to have this operation to take out my tonsils. My voice has been slightly deeper than other girls ever since. Not much that a lot of people would notice but a tiny bit." Inuyasha cocked his head to one side. "Tonsils?" He asked. Kagome nodded. "They're in your throat. Sometimes there's something wrong with them so they have to take them out in an operation." Inuyasha gave her a sickened look. "People reached down in your throat while you were awake & took something out?" Sango asked in amazement. The girl must be strong if the pain didn't kill her! Heather giggled again. "No, not while I was awake. They put this little mask over my face & sent a gas through it to make me go to sleep. When they put it on they said to count backwards from 10. I didn't even make it to 5 before I was out like a light." She was still smiling. Sango was still impressed. She had never heard of such a thing before & to hear the girl talk with no fear of it was strange in itself. "Well I feel pretty awkward. I know your names & you know mine but, you haven't told me your names." They all looked confused. "You know our names without us telling you?" Kagome asked. Heather only smiled. "Hikaru ain't the only one to read minds." She said. They looked slightly stunned but accepted the fact. Heather moved to the door. "Shit." She cursed as she sidled away & closed the blinds. "I'm not here Hikaru." she said to the man that had been silent the whole time. He looked up at her in shock as she grabbed a hold of the beer case & disappeared. He sighed & got up from the table he was at. "Let's see." Opening the blinds he jumped back to see another face pressed against the window, making a goofy face at him. He laughed at Heather's face, pressed against the glass & watching him with wide, amused, eyes. "Heather I told you to stop doing that!" He managed to say through a laugh. The others stared & held down fits of laughter. The younger children however burst into laughter on the spot. Rin rolled on the ground with tears in her eyes with Shippo next to her. Kohaku was on his knees, holding his stomach. When Hikari came down the stairs all she saw was Heather drinking another beer & standing by Shippo. "Hey, how old are you Shippo?" He thought. "Well in humans years I'm passed grown up but in kitsune years." A can was pressed into his paws. "That's all I needed to know kiddo." He stared up at her. "Your old enough right? Past 21 in human years?" He nodded slowly. "Drink up. Unless you don't want one now." She took another sip. Shippo grinned up at her. "Boy, do I!" He said & tried to pop the top of the can. Hikari ran over. "Heather! What are you doing?" Heather let one eye roll over to look at Hikari during her drink. When she was finished she still watched her friend from the corner of her eye. "I'm boozin' it. What does it look like?" Hikari let out a sigh to try & calm her anger. "Shippo is too young though Heather & so are you." Heather shrugged. "No one lets him do anything. Plus, he's old enough. I checked." Hikari gave in. "Only this one though Ok? A drunk kid kitsune will not be easy to control." "He's going to be more than drunk." Heather mumbled. "What?" "Nothing." The next several minutes were spent relaying information & stories back & forth. Heather picked up the sword. "Name it & make the sheath. Then it will become the sword that is truly yours." She handed the sword to Hikari who looked at it. "Do I have to make the sheath? I don't know how." Heather shook her head. "The same way you made the sword genius." She said. Hikari rolled her eyes. "Yes mom." She said sarcastically. Heather rolled her eyes back. "Now try, you need a sheath for the damn thing if you're leaving right after this." Hikari did as she was told & formed the sheath from a ball of energy that she bent in the shape of a scabbard. Heather clapped her on the back when she was finished. "Now put it in the blasted thing & give it a name." Hikari closed her eyes in search of the name she wanted. Holding the sword out flat in her palms she thought it all out slowly. "I give it the name of.Isanken! The Legacy Sword! The sword glowed with radical light in her hands. Her forehead glowed like wise. Sesshoumaru jumped toward her thinking that she might be swallowed up by the light & taken. The light dispersed when he touched it & gave way to the girl within. Hikari's hair fluttered wildly about her, coming loose from the braid & blowing in different directions in the light. Carefully he put an arm around her waist & tried to hold on. Her body was hot as a fire to the touch but he wouldn't let go. Rin entered the light & grabbed onto his leg. "Hikari & Sesshoumaru-sama have to take Rin with them wherever they is going." She said with a bright smile. He patted her head. "We're not going anywhere if we can stop her." He said grabbing the sword. It was even hotter then Hikari's body. Rin climbed up onto his arm & touched the sword too. Another light blinded them when Rin's fingers touched the blade. Heather stepped through & grabbed her friends shoulder. "Down girl, don't hurt nobody important to you. You'll kill yourself if you do." Hikari relaxed automatically. "Isanken." She whispered putting it at her side. "What happened? I remember light but.then my thoughts seemed to rush around. I thought I felt a great power try to take the sword & tried to blow them away.was it you?" She asked turning to Heather who shook her head. "It was your boyfriend & the kid." Hikari's cheeks turned pink. "Heather." She moaned at her in a whisper. The girl smiled at her. "Now, now, calm down. Take a minute to get your second wind then off you go." She patted her friend on the back. Hikari sat down & invited the others to do the same. "Heather why don't you come with us?" The others didn't object but instead waited for her answer. "What for?" She asked her friend. Hikari gave her a hard look. "I could use your help trying to find out how to use these powers. No offense Hikaru." The dog shook his head. "None taken. Someone has to save your ass when you disappear & cause trouble & don't pay the bills." He smiled slyly at her. She gave him a smile too. "You know me too well Hikaru." "I think I do sometimes too." A knock on the door interrupted the conversation. Heather placed a cap over Inuyasha's head & went to the door. Opening the door slowly she peered out to see a regular sized red haired girl, & 2 tall black haired men. Another girl stood behind them. "Is this the house of Miss Hikari Oukami? And is her friend, the miko, Kagome Higurashi here?" Asked the red head. Heather gave her a quizzical look. "Yes." She said slowly. "Can we see her? It's urgent." Heather shrugged. "Yo Hikari! Some people at the door want to see you. And it's not the cops this time!" She added with a smile & some faked shock. "Ha, ha, ha. Your so funny Heather." Came Hikari's voice from down the hall. "I swear if it is the cops I'm going to bust you for." She dragged off as she noticed the people at the door. "Hi." She said in an awkward tone. The people bowed. "We are all under curses can you lift them?" Asked the red head for her friends. Hikari cocked her head to one side. "What kind of curses?" She asked. The man with shorter black hair stepped forward. He had a striped bandana around his forehead & an umbrella packed on his back. "We are cursed to always turn into different things when we are doused with cold water. "I am really a man called Ranma Saotome." Said the girl with red hair. "I am Ryoga & turn into a pig when doused with cold water." A man with longer black hair stepped forward. "I am Mouse. I turn into a duck every time I am doused with cold water." The woman with the bells tide in her hair stepped forward. "I Shampoo. I change into cat when hit cold water." She said. Hikari scratched her chin & nodded. "Uh-huh. Well let me go get Kagome." She walked out of the doorframe & was heard thumping down the hall. "Kagome, we gotta problem." She said & whispered what had happened to her friend. Kagome gasped. "I don't know if I can cure that." She said. Hikari shook her head. "Me neither." "I guess we can try our best though." She said & stood up. Hikari led her down the hall. "This is Mouse, Ryoga, Ranma, & Shampoo. They have a problem with cold water. What do you think?" Kagome thought it over. "I don't think I've learned to do this yet. You try." Hikari thought it over. "Ok. I hope this'll work." Her hands glowed blue slightly. The four people at the door stepped back. "What?" Ranma said feeling his chest fall. "Become what you once were. Become what you once were." Hikari chanted & outstretched her hands. The people were surrounded in the light as well. Kagome felt her power rising to the surface & stretched her hands out too. "Become what you once were." She said along with Hikari. Both powers swirled & collided as the owners held out their hands & chanted. After a short time they dropped their hands to their sides & looked down to the people that were standing & looking at their hands. Hikari ran to her hose & turned it on. Spraying the people with water they cried with joy when all they got was wet. "Thank you so much! How can we repay you?" They asked joyfully. Hikari smiled at them. "Don't send us any more customers for sometime. We have some other stuff to do first." She said. They all smiled back. "Whatever you say." Then with a wave they ran down the steps toward the road & disappeared down the sidewalk. Hikari sighed & wiped sweat from her forehead. Kagome did the same. "Well, lets git before we have to open a store." Kagome agreed. Heather laughed & as she walked down the hall to get her dragon & leave. "So you're coming then?" Hikari asked Heather. Her friend nodded. "Well, I had a mission of sight seeing this summer so this is gonna be a great Kodak Moment." Heather didn't have to even pack a bag. She would just transfigure anything she needed she said with a dismissive wave of her hand. Hikari gave into her friend's ways & let her do what she wanted. "Well, lets go. Hikaru, I'll move my car around back Ok?" The man nodded his head. "Hikari call me if anything happens." He said to the girl. Hikari gave him a gentle smile. "Earth to Hikaru! The message won't reach you from the Sengoku Jidaii! Besides she can take care of herself, & if she can't I'm here, or her boy mmph!" Hikari had covered Heather's mouth with her hand. "Heh, heh." She said as Heather gagged & tried to force her hand away. "I know you'll be there Heather. That's why I'm worried." Hikaru said in a joking tone. Heather stopped trying to force the hand away & gave Hikaru a hurt look while crossing her arms across her chest. "Well I guess you don't want me to take you to the park for a run anymore huh?" She said through Hikari's hand. Then she gagged again as she gasped for breath. "Hikari.I can't breath!" She yelled at her friend who instantly removed her hand & let Heather gasp for breath. "Y0ur cruel." Heather said & walked toward the car. "Stand back I just got my license back." She said & climbed in without another word. Hikari's eyes went wide & she grabbed Rin by the shoulder & hauled her out of the way. The car popped into gear & was sent at a fast pace into the backyard. Hikari groaned & walked over to the car now parked in her yard. "Heather, did you really lose you license? Again?" Heather shook her head. "Are you kidding me? With these powers now, I own the road." Hikari shook her head. "You really will never change." Heather gave her a thumbs up. "You bet, I love me the way I am." Both girls giggled as they walked back to the group & started back to the well & the Sengoku Jidaii.

This is the new longest chap! I just can't stop writing! I hope you like it so far. Anyway the swords name is a mixture of Isan or legacy & ken which is sword. I'm not too good with this kinda stuff so don't hate me if you know or think it's wrong! It's my story anyway & if I want to screw up names then I can! Well I think that's all for now. Bye! Reviews!
