~*~ Chapter 14: Two years too late.....

Chitose swept the sidewalk of her apartment and waved as Hideki ran off to prep school, leaving Chii behind. Chii didn't need to go to work today.

Chitose smiled. Her Elda, no she was Chii now, was picking flowers. Her eyes were shining with happiness as a small sparrow landed upon her head. Its wings flapped and it looked like it was a tiny living hat. Chii giggled and turned toward the landlady.

" Look Hibiya-san!"

Chitose laughed and clapped her hands. Her eyes widened and she turned, to see Sesshomaru standing there.

" Ohayo Sesshomaru-sama!" Chii cried, running over to him, a bouquet of frosted flowers in her hands. She handed him one and smiled.

Slowly, the demon took it and nodded in thanks. But continued to gaze at her as her eyes changed again. Those same somber eyes, they looked up at him, and a dim light fell into them. She handed him yet another flower, her eyes asking him to take it. Nodding again, he received it and the eyes were gone in a blink and Chii ran off, back to play among the flowers.

' Like Rin used to...' Sesshomaru mused before mentally clearing his mind of the young girl in his charge.

" Chitose Hibiya correct?"

" Yes." She set the broom down and curtseyed slightly, recognizing his tattoo on his forehead. Chitose knew very well who Kagome was, and read the mangas just to have a better idea of what she went through. She knew exactly who he was.

" What may I do for you?" The woman asked.

Sesshomaru looked over at the frolicking Chii then turned his gaze back down to the human in front of him.

" In private."

" Hai. Chii-Chan!"

The girl turned and waited for the woman to finish.

" Could you please get the laundry from the dryer?"

Chii nodded and scampered off, her locks floating about her.

*

Chitose sat across the table from Sesshomaru, her hands cupping a tiny bowl of tea.

" What is it you wish to speak to me about?"

He pulled out a picture of Freya being built. He slid the picture over to her.

" Who is this?"

" That is Chii. When my husband and I built her." Chitose answered solemnly, before turning her black eyes to him again.

Sesshomaru placed another photo on the table.

" And this?"

" This is Freya. The first one. I could not have children. So my husband built her for me. In fact, it was in this time of year when I first activated her..." Her eyes grew pained and she delicately ran her fingers over the glossy photo.

Chitose stood up abruptly.

" I know who you are Sesshomaru." Her eyes lifted to his slightly shocked face.

" There is a spell on all of you. Sango, you, Rin, the others. Only Kagome can see what you really look like or the others she tells. And when someone says your true name it sounds like the false name you've given yourself here. That spell, insures your own anonymity and that of the manga artist's."

Sesshomaru nodded.

" So I will show you. The lab of which Freya and Elda were built. So that you understand."

With that, she opened the hidden laboratory door and led him inside.

*

Chii finished the laundry and sat underneath the frost-covered tree. Something was hurting Freya, she could tell. But what was it?

Chii shut her eyes and watched Freya slowly look over.

" Chii." She floated over to her and held her. " What is wrong?"

Chii shook her head and gazed up at her elder sister.

" What is wrong Freya?" She asked, her eyes worried.

Her eyes widened and she gazed at her younger sibling. She could feel it?

" I.... I wish I had a body again."

" But you live in Chii."

" But it's your body. Not mine." She gave her a soft smile and embraced her.

" Its something that you cannot understand just yet."

Chii nodded and held her sister back, before opening her eyes once more.

*

Chitose had wiped away her tears and gazed up at the emotionless youkai.

" Why did you take such an interest in her?"

" I was curious." The demon answered. He sighed mentally. Seeing her life and coming to understand it made her become nearer to his heart. And he'd only met her twice before. His head hurt, his heart hurt. Did that mean...that possibly?

Sesshomaru disregarded the thought from his mind. He was only interested in finding the reason of the girl's depression. That was the only thing, nothing more would come of this expedition.

Sesshomaru thanked the woman and wordlessly left, to see Chii come up. Her eyes were soft and sad. Nearly mimicking her sister Freya.

Yes, nothing would come of it. He came to receive his answer and he did. He had more things to worry about then a young persocom's emotions. Besides, she was forever banished to live inside Chii's body. So it was no longer his concern.

He did a quick nod of farewell, before returning to his vehicle and leaving.

Chitose looked down at his departure sadly. She was worried about this. That if someone saw Elda contacting Freya they would become curious and seek the reason. But she never thought he would come and ask. She never expected someone to fall in love with Freya.

Two years too late.

*

Chii looked up at Chitose, her eyes determined and she tapped the woman's shoulder.

" Chii knows what to give Sesshomaru for Christmas."

" What's that?" She asked softly, running a motherly hand through her ex daughter's hair.

" Freya is sad."

" She is?" Her eyes widened and suddenly her full attention was locked on Chii's words.

" Chii talked to Freya. Freya misses someone."

Chitose smiled sadly, Ichiro most likely.

" Freya wants to live again."

*

Hideki and Minoru sat there across from Ms. Hibiya. Utterly shocked by her words.

" Freya...can be contacted by Chii?"

" Yes. And Freya wished to have her body returned to her."

Minoru stood up and rubbed his temples.

" Do you still have the body?"

Chitose nodded, she was an equally surprised by her daughter's request. Her daughter had told Elda that she hurt so much from her unrequited love that she didn't want to function any longer. What sparked such a change in her eldest child?

Minoru nodded his eyes weary but filled with determination.

" If that is what Chii wishes for her sister."

Hideki frowned.

" How would we though?"

" We normally would just find the information on Chii's databank and download the data back into Freya's body. But, since they both have such cryptic and customized systems..." Minoru trailed off and his eyes gazed on Chitose.

" Chii wants to. We should respect her wishes."

Hideki nodded weakly.

" I just don't want something to happen to Chii."

Chitose smiled and placed a reassuring hand upon the young boy's shoulder as she stood.

" I know her system. As her...mother, I will go through with this. And Minoru's agrees to help me. All that's left is for you to let us."

" We'll have to let Ueda-san know that Chii won't be able to work at Chiroru." Minoru added softly, both his eyes and Chitose's on Hideki.

Hideki looked over at the silent Chii. She was standing in front of him. Silently asking for his permission. He cupped her face with his hand and gazed at her.

" Will this...make you happy?"

" Hai."

"And Freya as well."

"Chii and Freya will be happy Hideki." Chii smiled at him reassuringly squeezing his hand. With a defeated sigh, he released her from his grasp.

" If it makes Chii happy, then you can."

Chii's eyes lit up and she held Hideki in a tight embrace.

Which Hideki nervously returned.

'Please let this turn out all right...Please.'

The Youkai Nightmare: In many Inuyasha fanfics, that when he 'mates' with Kagome, he marks her. And that's where it came from. And when he took over her body in a way briefly to yell at Sess, he marked her.

The girl he's thinking of is Freya and I messed up on the whole Rin and Kag dying thing. That's a typo ^_^;;

spirited-dreamer: Sango was deeply wounded, since Naraku was dead the kazanna would have been gone. Yeah she purified them, but their kin heard of it from far away and came to exact revenge. And as we know, when demons are pissed, they become INCREDIBLY fast, so that's why.

Sunsetseve: Look I updated! ^_^

Ayame: Thanks Ayame-chan!
