Chapter 2; 6 Souls
Inuyasha pulled the redhead from the well, fully surprised at her being there but not showing it. "How the hell did you get here?", he asked dropping her on her butt. "I don't know. One minute I'm at my shrine next minute I'm here, wherever here is," she said standing up and brushing the dirt off her blue jeans. "Who is it Inuyasha?", asked a squeaky voice in the background. Inuyasha turned and looked at the small boy with a bushy fox tail and shrugged, then turned back to Crystal. "My name's Crystal, and who are you cutie?", she asked pushing past Inuyasha and sitting by the boy. "I'm Shippo, you'll have to excuse Inuyasha, he's a jerk wad," he said recieving a bump on the head from the irritated hanyou. Crystal glared at Inuyasha for hitting Shippo and picked up the boy. "So what's with the tail?", she asked, playfully tugging the end of it. "Oh, I'm a kitsune youkai, and he's a inu hanyou. That's why he has the ears," replied Shippo giggling. At Shippo's words, Crystal turned to look at Inuyasha. On top of his head rested two silvery white cat ears . "Are they real?", she asked dropping Shippo and pulling on his ears. "Yes, they're attached to my head aren't they?", he replied pushing her away from him. Crystal picked up Shippo again,"So what now?", she asked irritated. "I don't know, I guess we need to go find Kaede, she usually knows what's going on," said Inuyasha picking up Crystal bridal style. "WHAT THE-?! Put me down!Put me down right now!!", yelled Crystal trying to get away from him. "Relax, you humans are too slow on foot and I'm in a hurry to find out how you've managed to come to the Feudal Era," he said gruffly. Crystal calmed down and relaxed in his arms, he figured it was from the shock of hearing she had gone back through time. Inuyasha really wasn't in a hurry, he just needed an excuse to get her close so he could inhale her scent again. It was just like Kagome's, the jasmine was intertwined with freesia, Kikyo's scent. Along with the cinnamon of Sango. He thought she might be Sango's reincarnation, Buddha knew she looked like her, but Kagome's? How could that be possible, Kagome was from her time.Inuyasha also caught the smell of roses, a flower Kagome once showed him, that was probably her soul's scent. Before he could distinguish any of the other scents they were at Kaede's village and he was obligated to put her down. Kaede was at the side of her hut, weeding her herb garden. "Inuyasha, why be ye here?", she asked standing up straight. "She came through the well and smells like Sango," he said bluntly, jerking a thumb at Crystal. " Did ye not think she might be Sango's reincarnation?", asked the old woman. "She also carries the scent of Kagome and Kikyo," said Inuyasha.
"Oh?", said the old woman standing uo slowly," Can you explain Kaede baa-chan?", asked Shippo who was now hanging from Crystal's shoulder. Glancing Crystal over with her good eye, she caught sight of the crystal shard at her neck. "Where did ye get that child?", Kaede asked calmly motioning at her necklace. Crystal reached a hand up to her neck and felt the shard, she had forgotten she'd had it on. "My cat Kiara brought it to me while I was in the well house," she replied, the small animal pricking up her ears at the sound of her name. They stood in silence for several minutes until Inuyasha broke it. "So what is it you old hag?", he asked loudly,"Don't call her a hag!", Crystal retaliated for Kaede," I'll call her what I please wench," he retorted. "Should we stop this baa-chan?", Shippo asked Kaede quietly,"No, I want to see where this leads to," replied the calm Kaede.
"Don't call me a wench!" "Why?" "Because I'm not a wench!" "You look like one!" "Do not!" "Do too!" "Osuwari!"
Inuyasha smirked to himself, she looked exactly like Kagome when she got mad. That's when he felt it, that all-too-familiar tug at his neck. Down he crashed, getting a face full of mud. "Epp!", exclaimed Crystal jumping back. Shippo rolled in the grass laughing like a maniac and Kaede chuckled to herself. "WHAT THE H-?!", started Inuyasha, still laying on the ground. "Follow me child," said Kaede going inside her hut. Crystal followed the old woman and was surprised at the welcoming aura of the hut. Even though it was small, Crystal developed an immediate liking for it. "What made ye tell Inuyasha to 'sit'?", inquired the woman as she rested herself on a straw mat by a small fire. "I don't really know, I guess I'm just use to saying it to my dogs at home and at the pound that I work at," Crystal replied. "I see, what is this 'pound' you speak of?","It's a place where animals without homes are placed for their care. Not much wilderness exists anymore I'm afraid." Kaede looked at Crystal, who seems a tad bit sad.
"Why do you look so forlorn girl?", she asked," Sorry, I use to live on a mountain, but then this big hot shot bought all the land and built resorts up through there. Cut don't most of the woods, hunted the animals for sport, silly probably," Crystal replied looking up at Kaede. "I see. Anything else that is unusually for people of your time?", Kaede asked. Crystal wondered why she was asking all these questions, but answered her," Well, I'm a master archer and herbist. I'm very outdoorsy, a basic tomboy, and I have odd talents, I can outrun everyone who's ever challenged me to a race and my hearing and sense of smell is very sensitive," said Crystal, feeling kind of foolish at the fact she was telling so much about herself to a complete stranger."What do people think of you?", asked Kaede,"That I'm strange and distant. They say I'm quiet but helpful, a good friend, but then friends tend to butter you up some," Crystal replied. Inuyasha then entered the room, he wiped water from his face on his coat sleeve. He had overheard all she had told Kaede and felt a chill run down his spine, she was also like Ayame, Kouga's mate, and Rin, the girl who traveled with Sesshomaru. He hadn't seen much of them, just enough to know who they were and a small bit of their personalities.
"So?", he asked sitting down in a corner. "It's definatly strange, something I've never encountered before, but Crystal here holds nearly six souls in her body," Kaede told Inuyasha calmly. "How the hell is that possible?", he shouted," I'm not completly sure, but you indeed have all the proof you need to know. Acher/Herb knowlage-Kagome/Kikyo, speed/hearing/sense of smell-Ayame, helpful & strong- Sango, friendly- Kagome/Rin. And all of the girls loved the woods and nature. She may have been one of the girls' reincarnation and the other souls happened along and found that familiar spirit, who knows," said the old woman looking from Crystal to the hanyou. "So you're saying, that there are five other souls plus my own living in my body?", asked a half shocked/ half suspicious Crystal. Inuyasha then enveloped himself in his thoughts. "So she's a multiple reincarnation. Couldn't be Kagome's soul in her, Kagome was from her time and generation," he thought to himself. As if reading his thoughts Shippo asked," How could Kagome's soul be in her? They're the same age." Kaede then said," Indeed but you forget, Kagome died in this time and her soul joined up with that of her comrades."
Inuyasha felt as though his brain would explode. The hanyou got up and left the hut to try to sort through everything, not completly understanding this multiple souls thing, especially the part about Kagome's. Crystal looked quizzically at Kaede who answered," He loved Kagome more than life itself, when she died, so did a part of him. Yet he didn't do what most men would have done, he knew that Kagome would rather see him alive then in the afterlife with her," Crystal cast her eyes to the fire, sad that he'd once known love and lost it. Soon Crystal drifted to sleep with Shippo curled up next to her. Kiara had followed Inuyasha to the God Tree and watched him from the ground as she stared at the moon.
Soon he went back to the hut and sat across from the sleeping Crystal. She sat up and rubbed her eyes then stared at him with sad eyes. "Kaede must have told her something", he thought to himself. "What?", he snapped at her making a wave of irritation sweep over her. Why was she pitying him? He was just an old goat, a very hot old goat. "Konichiwa minna," said a new voice. "Oy, it's the lech," said Inuyasha, "Good to see you too old friend," the man replied. His voice was calming to Crystal and he wasn't bad looking either. Inuyasha waited for Miroku's woman radar to kick in and it longer than Inuyasha expected for him to notice the wench alone in the corner, a sleeping Shippo in her lap. "What a beautiful maiden. I'm Miroku, and who are you?", he asked, far nicer than Inuyasha. Crystal stood up to greet him,"Bad move," Inuyasha snickered to himself, waiting for undoubtedly would happen. "I'm Crystal, it's nice to meet you Miroku," she said sweetly.
Miroku moved close to her and grasp her hands,"Would a lovely maiden such as yourself be interested in bearing my children?", he asked sounding sincere and as if trying to make his offer better, he pulled his trademark move and slide a hand around her waist and grasped her butt. No it was Inuyasha's turn to laugh like a maniac. Miroku lay in the floor, the entire left side of his face bright red and in the shape of a hand. "Perv," Crystal muttered moving away from the fallen Miroku."Wow, never encountered a right hook like that since Sango," said Miroku sitting up and rubbing his jaw. "That's because that girl's her reincarnation, and Kagome's and Kikyo's and Ayame's and Rin's," said Inuyasha. "Really, so she's a multisoul?," asked Miroku. "Yup," Inuyasha simply replied," the wench is one of a kind." Crystal seemed kind of irritated at Inuyasha for thinking her as only a multisouled person, reincarnation, and a wench. " I do have a name ya know, it's Crystal," she told Inuyasha," You're a wench to me," the hanyou replied."Osuwari," she said and left the hut. Inuyasha crashed to the ground beside Miroku and Shippo woke up. "Where's Crystal?", the kitsune asked," Gone, Inuyasha made her mad," Miroku replied," Here we go again," sighed Shippo.
Crystal stalked away to a nearby river and Kiara faithfully followed. She sat on a nearby rock and watched the water flow. Just beyond the village, a whirlwind began to follow the scent of jasmine and pine needles that found his sensitive demon nose. Crystal was jerked from her thoughts as the whirlwind came right up to her and disappeared leaving an oddly dressed man. "Who are you? You smell like Ayame?," asked the raven haired man. "Why did I leave Inuyasha?", she asked herself out loud. "So, you're with mutt face, you must have some special talent," he said and picked her up bridal style and sped away. "INUYASHA!!!", she yelled into the wind. Back at the hut, Inuyasha heard her cries and smelt the horrible smell of wolf. "Kouga", he growled as he ran from the house, Miroku and Shippo right on his heels. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Nobara: Hope you like it, I'm trying to keep it kinda short, but I'm a detail person. Kagome: I can't believe you killed me off Nobara: It's for the good of the story Kagome: But Inuyasha's a bad actor without me Inuyasha: More like vice versa Kagome: Osuwari! *Inuyasha crashes to the floor* Nobara: Until the next chapter, see ya!
