~*~*~*the mirror and little Souta
Jaken sighed it's been hours, at this rate he'll have every flower in the field memorized. Not even Sesshomaru-sama took this long. Jaken paused his eyes watered
"OH~O~O~O Sesshomaru-sama!" Jaken cried out as he leapt beside the log of which he was sitting on. Just that name brought back memories, the day of the battle and how Sesshomaru-sama had actually SAVED his life.
*sigh* "I will always honor you Sesshomaru-Sama, that is why I am serving the one that is so precious to you." An image of cute little Rin as a child whipped across Jaken's mind. 'So sweet, young, and friendly.' Jaken's hopes spilled at another image of her now 'so beautiful, strong, abusive, and yet sad a very sad girl.' Jaken pity's the girl even though he's never liked her and even now refuses to like her he just couldn't help but pity her.
"Jaken" Rin's voice struck Jaken like a good kick in the gut.
"Rin-sama you come back!"
"Let's go" She stated simply as she dropped from the horses back. 'Inuyasha's dead huh? The tetsusaiga must be with that arrogant demon.' Rin replayed the event of the battle in her head. Never before has she humiliated herself as bad as she did. "That demon and his looks made it so damn hard!" Rin's eyes snapped opened as a rosy blush attacked her naturally creamy white skin. 'What did I just say?'
@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@%@
Shippo couldn't stop thinking about her 'damn that woman she won't leave my head!' He tried his best to shake the image away.
Long brown hair
Dark heavy eyes
A cute and built body (wish I had that lol)
Damn it why does she have to be so gorgeous!? Sighing Shippo plopped down in the same sitting position Inuyasha use to sit in. 'A survivor, she survived the battle as well? That means... I'm not alone then.' She had said she was to 'return' so it least I can see her again. A smile graced his lips when perverted thoughts took over. (A little something he got from Miroku) *wide eyes* "DAMN!" Shippo shook his head wildly before standing back up and marching to...uh... anywhere but here.
"Ha, ha, ha catch it if you can!"
"Hey come on give it back!"
"Hey stop crying freak you're the one that asked if we wanted to play."
"I know that but I didn't think you would take it away from me." The little boy pouted
"It's called keep away stupid!"
Shippo frowned in seeing this act. The poor little boy in between two older boys. "I guess I have no choice." He marched out of the woods walking straight towards the scene.
"Give it back!" The boy whined reaching his arm up planning to snatch the mirror back.
"Ha, Ha, Ha what's the matter dweeb you can't reach it!?"
*Both boys laugh as little boy whines*
"Gosh your so petha..."
*grab*
"Ha, ha, ha now look who's the dweeb! I bet you didn't see that one coming huh?! Ha, Ha, Ha you guys are the freaks! You can't even keep a mirror away from a little... hey? Why are they running away?" The little boy sighed 'oh well' he hugged the mirror close to him before spinning on his heel to walk back to his village.
Except... he never got anywhere because he had run into something more like a someone. The boy shot back with a gasp. Looking up he witnessed what no one else has ever witnessed before...
"You're... a...a...a....a"
Shippo smiled feeling rather proud of his Demon looks "Yeah I know I'm a full fledge de..."
"A DEFORMED RED-HEAD C~O~O~O~OOOOL!!~~~~~"
Shippo: *wide eyed stare* *crickets in the background* "uh... noooo"
"WOW CHECK OUT THE EARS! *gasp* you look like samurai J on mortal combat!"
"Like... who?"
"THIS IS TO COOL! NOT ONLY HAVE I FOUND A NEET MIRROR BUT I FOUND A DEFORMED PET!!!"
Shippo curled his fist angrily "Listen kid I'm not a deformed red-head samurai J uh... combat... I'm Shippo! A Demon ok?! A DEMON!"
"Shippo?" The boy repeated curiously
Shippo stared down hard at the boy. 'This is hopeless.' He spun around heading towards the woods.
"Well... Shippo how did you get your teeth like that?! And what about those ears?! How did they get so pointy? And what about... *gasp* YOU HAVE A SWORD NO WAY!!"
Shippo stopped causing the child to run into him. He turned around so he was facing him. "Aren't you going to go home?" Shippo tried to hold back the urge to smack the annoying boy.
"I...can't go home." The boy's sudden burst of energy died down after answering that question
"Why not where's your village?" Shippo asked
The boy sighed the whole time speaking while looking down. "It had been three months since my sister hadn't come back. I knew that she would eventually return to stock on supplies but... 'Three months?'" The boy shook his head "I knew something was wrong and I couldn't stand seeing my mother and grandfather worry over her safety. So I went to the well and jumped down. I remember jumping down before and it never accepted me. But... this time when I went down I actually went through and appeared... here. I don't know what this place is or exactly where I am. But I have been living in the village near the well ever since I went through. It's been years now."
Shippo's heart suddenly burned and ached. 'Stock on supplies? It's been years?' It couldn't be could it? Suddenly Shippo remembered something. Kagome had said that she had a little brother named 'Souta.' Shippo's hands tightened nervously
"What is your name?" He stated calmly and smoothly, noting that there were tears streaming down the boy's cheeks.
"Souta" He said simply while looking down. Shippo swallowed a lump. His heart stung immensely when the boy said his name. 'Could it really be? Or... is it just a misunderstanding?' "Kagome?" Shippo stated hoping, wishing that this all was a mix up. Just to imagine the look on the boys face when he finds out how his sister died. Just the fact she's even dead will stun him.
Souta's head snapped up "what did you say?!"
"Was her name Kagome?"
"You... knew her?!"
Shippo nodded "She traveled with inuyasha right?" Souta nods "I to tagged along with them." The boy looked as if he was about to cry. Shippo elbowed the boy's arm playfully. But... even though he wanted to say 'cheer up' he couldn't. There was nothing to cheer up about.
"You've been here for a long while, why don't you know what a demon is?" The boy looked up trying his best to show off a 'fake' smile. "You mean those monsters?"
*Shippo nods*
"Yeah I've seen those giant bugs and floating heads. But the village that I came into is really good about killing them. That's why I'm not a scared really except when I leave to make friends."
Shippo sighed, 'this is Kagome's kin I can't just leave him here especially after all he has been through.' Shippo stared down at the boy for a moment sighing 'But he's sooooo annoying.'
"Come" Shippo said simply as he pushed his way through the bushes. "Me come with you?! REALLY?!" little souta skipped happily behind the tall demon still hugging his mirror dearly. "Great this is so awesome!"
*three hours later*
"...And then Kagome was all like 'Souta it's a beautiful day go outside.' And then I was all like 'No Way! I'm on level 10!' Can you believe it?! I was on level 10 the levels of all levels and here she, wants me to go outside."
"Oh look a bird! On my game level seven, there's a giant bird that comes down and... blah-blah-blah-blah..."
The annoying little boy's words died out as Shippo's thoughts spun and swirled. 'The next encounter, that woman wishes inuyasha's death but why? If she is still alive does that mean Sesshomaru is to? She must want the sword why else would she attack inuyasha?'
"...But I think there made out of gum. What do you think there made out of?"
Shippo looked down at Souta, who had an ear to ear smile. "Huh?" Shippo replied feeling rather bored.
"I said..."
WHOOSH! It happened extremely fast. A giant demon like creature shot up from behind trees growling, baring those ugly slimy fangs, shooting hungry eyes down at the boy. Souta gasped darting behind Shippo for protection. His knees shook unbelievably hard. The giant devilish creature snapped his fist down towards the two. Shippo reached behind him, hooking Souta's shirt before springing away. The massive fist slammed the ground where Shippo and the boy once stood. Shippo placed the now 'fainted' boy down on a thick branch (in a tree of course.) The beast growled fury as he charged towards the tree on which Souta lay.
Shippo leapt down; as he fell he unsheathed tetsusaiga. "Kiz no Kaze!" a strong thick power shot from the fang shooting towards the creature. The monster growled angrily as the power struck his body, ripping through its flesh. The roar shook the whole forest as it stumbled back.
Blood sprayed out followed by broken tissue and flying pieces of corpse. The slice marks covered the beast chest and shoulders. Shippo smiled. He sheathed tetsusaiga turning around to head back towards the tree where sleeping Souta rested. Thank goodness for his demon ears. The beast 'tried' sneaking behind him to give him one last blow before it died. Shippo jumped out of the way right as the large demon hand swept at him. Having no time to unsheathe tetsusaiga Shippo snapped around, held up his left hand and...
"Fox fire!" A strong blue flame erupted from his hand zipping at the creature. The creature disappeared leaving nothing more but puddles of blood and leftovers.
Rin, who witnessed this act from the side of the woods, could do nothing but stare blankly. 'That power... Inuyasha doesn't have power like that. This is defiantly not inuyasha. But still... he carries tetsusaiga, I must get that sword.'
Rin turned trying to make haste as she walked through the woods. She didn't want the fox demon to pick up on her scent. 'That power is unknown to me. He might just be a tougher opponent then imagined.'
Shippo stared down at the sleeping boy. 'Kagome's brother huh?' Shippo sat down resting his back against a tree. 'Well I suppose they do look similar, in a way.'
"My... mirror." A mumble came from the sleeping boy. Shippo stared at his sleeping form. 'Mirror' he mouthed wondering what he meant by that.
"My mirror!" The boy screamed as he shot upright looking around frantically. "I dropped it my mirror where is it?!" Shippo watched as the boy shot up darting in circles looking over, under, and around bushes searching for what belonged to him.
"You've probably dropped it near the trail souta just forget about it now." The boy huffed shuffling through piles of leaves and compost. "I must find it I have to find it!" The boy crawled around on his knees breathing harder and harder by the second. "It... helped me... the man protected me." Shippo arched a brow at that statement.
"A man protected you? What are you talking about?"
The boy broke out into a soft whimper as he shuffled through the brush. Shippo growled "Hey I asked you a question." The boy continued to ignore as he searched for his lost treasure.
"I'm sorry... So sorry I lost you!" Shippo knew and wanted to stop the boy from looking but was suddenly curious when he saw the look on the boy's face. He looked like he was frantic and at the same time... emotionless. Souta's face was soon drenched in silvery cold sweat as he crawled around and every now and then allowed tears to roll down his cheek. As Shippo watched his nose caught onto something. The smell of fever this boy was working himself so hard that he was braking out into a fever! Enough was enough Shippo marched over to the boy and scooped him up. It surprised him when the boy struggled.
"No... my mirror I need my mirror I promised him! He protected me!" Souta kicked and punched around the air trying to brake free from Shippo's strong grasp. "No let go of me! I need to find my mirror!" Shippo tried his best to calm the boy down.
"Listen you, you don't need that mirror and if you truly want it then we'll search tomorrow when there's light. For now we must rest." The boy continued to kick thrusting and shaking his body. "I have to... I must find..." His words died out as he seemingly fell asleep in Shippo's arms. Shippo sighed feeling pity for the boy as he laid him down. His sickness will probably be stronger by tomorrow. 'I'd better it least try to prevent the sickness why it's young. If I recall correctly Keada had made medicine out of plants and (spells) of course.' Seeing that the boy wasn't going to wake up anytime soon Shippo turned heading towards the path to gather roots.
@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#@#
Rin watched as Shippo disappeared before turning her attention back to the boy. 'I don't understand why I can't stay away from him. It seems no matter where I go I start thinking about him.' Rin moved away from behind the trees to the sleeping boy. He heaved, he sweated, and yes he looked ill. His face looked worn and tired, like some terrible tragedy happened to him a long time ago. Rin shook her head sadly; she knows very well how it feels to suffer. The boy moaned a little as he shook his head from side to side. 'Is he waking?' Rin dropped down to her knee checking over the sleeping boy's body. So still, so frightened, and so young. 'If I'm going to do this I better do it fast before that demon returns. Rin gently placed her hand on tenseiga before drawing it out. She stared down at the boy lying there still breathing raggedly. A deep breath before she placed the tip of the sword on the boy's forehead. She tried her best to keep focused as she watched his body glow. Instead of hell beast appearing to slice and bring a soul back, it was hell aura attacking his body that needed to be purified.
Souta's body glowed a bright red indicating that the sickness grew. Tenseiga took a moment giving Rin doubt before it shined a blue color. The blue only blurred on his head before streaming down the body eating away the red light. Minutes past, finally Souta's eyes fluttered open. 'Well he seems alright.' Rin sheathed her sword before walking away. 'Why did I even bother?' Souta laid there his eyes open and his breathing settle into a normal steady pace. Swirls of light and color dizzied about his mind polluting his thinking space. Then 'he' appeared, white fur, long shaggy dark hair, and an evil smirk to top it all off.
Souta's hero, the one who promised to protect him stared blankly to him. Souta lifted the corner of his lip revealing a smile. It seemed so comforting to see this man. Souta has always had an act for choosing his idle. This choice will never be one he'll regret... never.
Shippo held the plant to his nose. *sniffs* "Argh! It stinks! This can't be the stuff Keada used." He tossed the plant over his shoulder as he browsed around the rest of the vegetation. After awhile searching he shuffled his pile of 'plants' into a bundle and carried it back to the ill boy.
Meanwhile
The mirror laid there facing up towards the sky. Soon the mirror's usual pretty and glittery shine darkened into a black nothingness. If you were to stare down at the mirror you would see no reflection. The blackness of the mirror was far beyond the darkest black you've ever seen. Thick, dark, black no word even came close to how dark the mirror was. The shadowy darkness evaporated turning and mixing into a thick smoke. Rising and clouding together until it turned into a giant cloud hovering over the mirror. For a moment the cloud was in the form of a giant swirling ball. The next it shifted until it was in the form of a being...
Naraku appeared; he stepped out of the dark cloud wrapped in a white baboon skin cover thing withholding an evil smirk. After him Kanna stepped out followed by Kagura. None of which looked the least injured, and none with poor spirits. They looked angry and determined. 'Revenge, was what was needed, revenge for whoever took the Shikon no tama at the last moment.'

~*~*~*the mirror and little Souta
Jaken sighed it's been hours, at this rate he'll have every flower in the field memorized. Not even Sesshomaru-sama took this long. Jaken paused his eyes watered
"OH~O~O~O Sesshomaru-sama!" Jaken cried out as he leapt beside the log of which he was sitting on. Just that name brought back memories, the day of the battle and how Sesshomaru-sama had actually SAVED his life.
*sigh* "I will always honor you Sesshomaru-Sama, that is why I am serving the one that is so precious to you." An image of cute little Rin as a child whipped across Jaken's mind.

"Like... who?"

Shippo held the plant to his nose. *sniffs* "Argh! It stinks! This can't be the stuff Keada used." He tossed the plant over his shoulder as he browsed around the rest of the vegetation. After awhile searching he shuffled his pile of 'plants' into a bundle and carried it back to the ill boy.
Meanwhile
The mirror laid there facing up towards the sky. Soon the mirror's usual pretty and glittery shine darkened into a black nothingness. If you were to stare down at the mirror you would see no reflection. The blackness of the mirror was far beyond the darkest black you've ever seen. Thick, dark, black no word even came close to how dark the mirror was. The shadowy darkness evaporated turning and mixing into a thick smoke. Rising and clouding together until it turned into a giant cloud hovering over the mirror. For a moment the cloud was in the form of a giant swirling ball. The next it shifted until it was in the form of a being...
Naraku appeared; he stepped out of the dark cloud wrapped in a white baboon skin cover thing withholding an evil smirk. After him Kanna stepped out followed by Kagura. None of which looked the least injured, and none with poor spirits. They looked angry and determined. 'Revenge, was what was needed, revenge for whoever took the Shikon no tama at the last moment.'

Oh and uh.... *nervous laugh* yeah about the Amanda thing I had noooo idea there were Amanda's here. Don't take offensively because I promise I wasn't referring to 'you' it's someone else.....*drops to knees* don't flame me!!!!
Well I'm not exactly sure 'why' I brought Souta into the picture but... I did so... yeah... I finally figured out how I'm going to wrap this up things to your reviews, although don't expect the ending to come so soon. (I'm having too much fun.) Updates might be a little slow because my computer is going into repair, but don't worry the second it's fixed I'll be writing away.
Keep reviewing! I love the reviews! DON'T FLAME MEeEeEeEeEeEeEe!!!!!!!
