Chapter 6-Ai-Ya! You're still alive?

"Hey, Seymour?"

"What?" he cocked his spiked head and looked at Jade in a rather curious manner. He was

momentarily blinded by the flash from her camera.

"Gah!" he shouted and rubbed his eyes.

'Oh, sorry," Jade giggled, "I should have warned you. Now, together,"

She wrapped her arm around his thin shoulder and pulled him close to her. She held the camera

at arms legnth, gave a rather toothy grin and snapped a picture.

"Thank You for your cooperation! Have a nice day!" she said in a mock flight attendant voice.

Seymour blinked and raised an eyebrow. Jade realized that he'd never seen a camera before.

"Oh, ths is a camera. You use it to take pictures, see, there's a little strip of film in there and

when I hit this button, it gets exposed and Wah Lah! A picture to remember the important things

in your life,"

"I have heard of such devices, how very curious," He look the camera in his claws and turned it

over. He looked through the eye lense and then looked at Jade through it. He toyed wth the

zoom button and zoomed in on those gorgeous golden eyes of hers. He gave his head a shake,

where had such an impulse come from?

"What?" Jade asked, noticing his action.

"Uhh.....Nothing," Seymour felt his cheeks glow pink and he looked all over the room, everywhere

but at Jade.

There was an awkward silence for several moments. Jade decided to break it, she couldn't

stand silence.

"So, ahhhhh, wht do you do? I mean, you've been in here awhile, what do you do for fun?" she

asked.

"Well, I climb the temple, fly around at night, draw with colored sand, read ancient scrolls and

search for a way to escape Aku-sama," he counted off on his talons as he listed all these actions.

"Oh," Jade answered, "Will you take me flying?"

"What?" Seymour asked, not used to being asked favors by anyone.

"Will you take me flying?! I bet it's totally awesome!" She spread her arms to emphasize her point.

"Uhh, sure, sometime I will," he answered, still sounding a little awkward.

"Coolness!" Jade said, clenching her fists tightly. "You're cool, Seymour,"

She slapped him on the back heavily.

"Ummm, Thanks," he responed, still rather unsure how this should be handled.



"Jaaaaaaaaaade!"

The two turned around to see Jackie, Uncle and Tohru racing into the room. Seymour tensed,

every instinct was telling him to get away, but he stood, unmoving.

"Hey guys!" Jade called out."That Seymour kid I was talking about, this is him! Isn't he cool! He

even said he'd take me flying sometime! Is that awesome, or is that awesome?" Jade spouted,

leaping into Jackie's arms.

Uncle walked up to Seymour, an expression on his face depicted the extreme concentraion he

was practicing. He circled the demon-boy once, then poked his shoulder with his finger.

"Gah! What did you do that for, crazy old man?!" Seymour demanded. He stopped and felt

embarassed at his sudden outburst.

"Just checking," Uncle answered.

"Checking what?" Seymour asked.

"That uncle's business," the old man answered matter-of factly, then whipped Seymour across

the face with two fingers.

"That is for calling Uncle crazy, which he is not, he is eccentric!"

Seymour rubbed his throbbing cheek and muttered an apology. He felt someone flexing his wing.

He turned to find Tohru pulling one out, then flexing it back. Up, down, up,down. The large man

seemed rather engrossed by this. Seymour, not used to being the center of attention in a way

that did not involve torches and pitchforks was uncomfortable.

"Something about my wing entertaining, big guy?" he asked.

"Yes, as a matter of fact, it is," Tohru answered.

"Alright then, just asking," Seymour answered, though still confused.

Jackie set Jade down and observed the somewhat bizarre exchange between the demon-boy,

Uncle and Tohru.

"Jade?", he asked."What are we going to do with them?"

"Uhhh....all go back to the hotel?" she asked.

"Not a bad idea, my dear," a strange new voice interrupted the scene.

All turned to see who the intruder was, Tohru even dropped Seymour's wing. Standing before

them was a girl with long, impossible spiky hair, tied with a long ribbon. She had eyesthat had

orange irises, black pupils and nstead of a white backdrop for these, she had a bright yellow. She

wore a pair of capris pants and a very angular cut jacket with frog closures. The girl was also

extremely short, baely as tall as Jade. She smiled warmly, her head cocked to the side. Uncle

recognized her immediately.

"Kodomo-Yasha!"

"Uncle? how long has it been? Forty years? Good to see you!" she walked, not ran over to Uncle

and gave him a hug.

"Wait, wait. How is he your uncle?" Jade asked.

"It is a demon form of familiarity," Tohru told her.

"Whoa, Big T, you've been doing your homework," Jade said, very impressed.

Tohru blushed.

"Ai-Yah! Kodomo-Yasha! you haven't grown an inch!"

"And you're still alive," Kodomo-Yasha countered.

He moved to slap her with two fingers, but she caught them and proceeded to slap him with

both her hands n the characteristic two finger position.

"Did you think I couldn't counter that? Who showed you that anyway? ME!"

"It really is is you, Kodomo-Yasha! Forgive my rudeness, but I had to be sure you were not one of

your sister's minions," Uncle hugged her tightly.

"Apology accepted and actions fully understood. She's been out of control awhile now. I just

came from Mexico, she's been burning villages, spreading curses and terrorizing small children,"

"Typical Aku-sama behavior," Uncle agreed.

"Fortunately, I was able to undo said curses and the like, but I'm afraid she'll find out sooner or

later, come in raging and attempt to punish me. I suggest you all leave as soon as you can. i

need to rest before I can properly fight her. Uncle, may I speak to you in private for a moment?"

"Of course, Kodomo-Yasha," he answered.

"Everyone else, I suggest youwait outside," the extremely short demon ordered. Despite her size,

she had a commanding presence, and everyone obeyed, except Seymour.

"I meant ou too, Seymour," Kodomo-Yasha said.

'How did you know.." he started to ask, but he was interrupted.

"OUTSIDE!" Kodomo-Yasha demanded.

When he was gone, Kodomo turned to Uncle.

"Uncle, I want to ask you a favor,"

"Anything, Kodomo,"

"Take Seymour with you when you leave,"

"But, how, why?"

"It won't be safe for him anymore, not here. My magic protected the place for centuries, but, I'm

going to need it when I face Aku-sama. He won't be shielded and I also want him ton experience

life in this new, technological world. He has suffered in lonely isolation long enough. Had I the

power to free him, I would, but I can't for I am not human. Only a human's kindness can undo

Aku-sama's curse. I am sorry for imposing this burden on you all, my friend and ally, but I have

no other options," she finished almost sadly.

"I will do it gladly, Kodomo-Yasha. I will leave you now so that you may rest for the coming battle.

I wish you fortune and luck in the battle. Farwell, my friend,"

"Good-bye, Uncle," she said softly, before closing her eyes and falling asleep-standing up.

Uncle turned and left. when he reached the door, he looked back at Kodomo-Yasha, standing

alone in that empty room. That such a small being housed so much power was amazing. He shook

his head and went outside to join the others.
