On the Flip Side: Chappie 10
Chappie 10: A South Sea, a West Land, and a Time not our own
In a whirl, all three parties ran to their destinations. Each with their own missions in mind, like looking for love, comfort, and friendship in undoubtedly the wrong places. Night fell on the travelers and they kept on traveling; hoping that tomorrow would bring their destinations and enlightenment for trial some days to come.
In the wee hours before the sun rose, Brittchan emerged out of the well, into a chilly September morning in Tokyo. She scrambled out of the well house and climbed up to Kagome's window. "Good; she never locks it." It was unlocked, so she quietly tumbled right in. Her clock flashed a quarter after five. Quietly, she tiptoed into the room that she and Lizzykun shared. Sitting on her bed, she stared into the large wall mirror. "Look at what that stupid place did to me!" she thought to herself as she saw the mud all over her and smeared make up. "I haven't had proper lip gloss in days. I need a shower and sleep." So she did. She had to feel sorry for Lizzykun who was wandering around Feudal Japan without a shower or hairbrush in days. After that, she tumbled into bed. "I only have a few minutes of sleep, but who cares; I'll use it!" She thought. Just as she thought, about an hour later, she had to wake up. --
Not long after dawn, they ran up to the coast. The pink sunrise glimmered beautifully on the water. The only thing obstructing this beautiful work of nature was this old style mansion. Yes, it was the castle by the sea. They stopped for a second to catch their breath. "If I wasn't so scared of it, I'd think it's beautiful." Kagome looked over and saw only Kilala, no Lizzykun or Brittchan. "We have another problem." Kagome sweat dropped. Inu-Yasha ignorantly looked around. "I don't see anything!" Kagome was like "Doi!" She snapped Inu-Yasha's ear. "Lizzykun and Brittchan are gone! IF you didn't notice!" Miroku stood up. "There's nothing we can do about this now. Let's finish what we've gotten ourselves into." The small band walked down to the castle to face whatever would meet them.
Lizzykun was desperately lost in a thick forest. She would turn one way and find another, but it seemed to go on and on. "I wish Brittchan was here." She sighed and kept on walking. A slight chill fell over the air and an eerie fog fell over the forest floor. She stopped by a large tree to rest. Sleep came quickly to the weary traveler. After the sun had set once more, a small voice awakened her. "Excuse me." She sat up and looked around drearily. "Are you alright?" She sat up, looking for the person who inquired of her. "I'm sorry. I must have fallen asleep." He was about a foot and a half tall, and even hotter than Sesshomaru. "My name is Chan." He said brightly, yet coolly. "May I inquire yours?" She blushed. "I'm Lizzykun." Chan smiled a warm smile. "We saw you sleeping and made you a gift. You were about to enter a bad place unarmed, so we, the armory elves, decided to give you a weapon." He held up what looked like a cat's claw. "We bestow upon you the cat's claw." She looked it over. "Is this a joke? Am I still asleep?" He smiled brightly. "When it is needed, you can use it to defend yourself." She smiled at him and placed the claw in the bottle necklace she always wore. "Thank you, but I've never believed the stories of the shoe making elves." He thought about this for a second. "Shoe making? Not a bad idea. Could you tell me where you're going in this part of the wood?" She looked to the sky, but she saw only leaves. "I'm looking for the western lands of Lord Sesshomaru." Chan's electric smile faded into a horror stricken face. "He would kill you for only being a human in his presence." His discouragement angered her. "I've been invited to his presence!" She fumed. "And if you won't take me there, I'll find it myself." Chan sighed. "I will take you, but you must carry my sword for me." In the pale light of Forrest, a platinum sword glowed faintly. "It's beautiful." She gawked as she picked it up. "This way." He said. "This is silly." She thought. "Following an elf that isn't even two feet tall! But he is kinda cute."
Brittchan didn't have to rush to school that day. She would be early anyway. She walked to school by herself with no Lizzykun or Kagome by her side. She looked at the small picture of her and Lizzykun that she kept in the silver locket around her neck. "I hope she's okay." She said to herself. Her spirits lifted quickly cuz she saw Hojo smiling at her. "Hey!" He said smoothly. "Where have you been lately?" Should she tell him about Feudal Japan? Should she take him there? "If you want to see, I'll take you after school." He nodded, took her arm, and they went to class.
When the feudal team got down to the castle, the doors were locked tight. But what are wooden doors when you have wind scarring claws? With Inu-Yasha's help, the doors fell down. Cautiously, they proceeded into the dark castle. One window in the long corridor faced the sea. "That's a pretty ship." Kagome noted as she gazed out the window. Inu-Yasha observed the ship closely. "Naraku is on that ship. He's fleeing! The dirty bastard!" They continued to proceed till they came to a flight of stairs. "Down to the dungeon, I guess." Miroku said and proceeded down the stairs. "Sango." He hoped she was still alive. Hopeless bastard
Lizzykun and Chan carefully went through the forest until the blinding light of day shone thru the trees. "The western lands, m'lady. Shall I accompany you?" She nodded and stepped through the trees into the meadow. Lord Sesshomaru's elegant castle lay just to the west of them. "Who dares to enter my land?" A voice said from behind them. Trembling, they turned to see Sesshomaru. "It's me! Lizzykun!" He glared at the human. "Exit the western lands if you value your life." He started to stalk off. "Wait!" Lizzykun yelled. "You invited me to come and see you!" The powerful demon looked at her over his shoulder. "Be lucky that I did not kill you on sight, human." He walked off in the direction of his castle. The two stood planted on the spot, unwavering. Suddenly, little green Jakken people came out of the tall grass. "Then Die!" Jakken himself appeared behind them. "Say the word and the cat's claw will activate! Hand me my sword!" Chan ordered. She held the absolutely huge sword down to the tiny elf. Suddenly, he grew to a normal height. He saw her eyeing him and yelled, "Don't gawk! Get going!" She didn't notice, but little Jakkens were surrounding her. She clutched the cat claw tightly. "Help!" she squealed as she closed her eyes. Suddenly her nails became like cat's claws and her teeth as fangs, and a good size claw like dagger was in her hand instead of a tiny claw. "Then die alright!" There was some serious demon arse kicking. Running off, they felt very energized.
"That was awesome!" Lizzykun said as she put the claw back in the jar. "I've got to help my friends. You can come along if you want." He shook his head. "I have to stay here. You are the best human I've ever met. I want you to know that." Lizzykun blushed and kissed him on his cheek. "Remember me if you return." He said as she made her way alone. Standing by himself in the forest, he watched the only girl he ever loved run off.
Brittchan invited Hojo home and told his parents that he might be gone for a while. "Through that well," She told him. "Is a world all it's own." She beckoned him into the well somehow. He really didn't want to go, but when he popped out of the well on the other side, it was the most beautiful place they had ever seen. "Welcome to feudal Japan." They walked through Inu Yasha forest and came to the small and humble village. Kaede came out to meet them. "Who have yee brought?" Kaede asked with concern. Hojo flashed his o-so-hot smile. "I'm Hojo." (Sounds dreamy friggin bastard -.-) Kaede whispered in Brittchan's ear. "It was not smart to bring him here!" her voice was cold and sharp. "Take him home." Brittchan sweat dropped. "Nothing to see, Hojo. Let's go home." And with that, they ran off.
Back in current times, Hojo was wondering what that was all about. "what happened?" He asked. "She didn't think you should be there." Brittchan explained. "The more people that go in, the more things happen. You had better go." She kissed his cheek. He stood up and turned to go. "It's a beautiful place there." Before she could reply, he had gone. Did she really love him?
The others had seemed to be descending stairs for what seemed like hours. Finally, they stepped in a puddle of blood. "Sango!" Miroku gritted his teeth. "If they killed her, they will find a new home in my hand!" He thought angrily. Blood covered the floor and small torches lit the large room. On the other side a small circle of light embraced Miruko and Sango. Sango's hands were bound with very strong ropes. It seemed he was interrogating her. "Do you love poor poor Miroku?" He stroked her long black hair. She thought for a moment. "I..." she was cut off by Miroku. "I love her more than anyone else!" He stepped into the light. They growled at each other. "Naraku has stooped low indeed for your aid." Miroku said. "Then I would examine yourself before blaming me!" Miruko showed them the wrist that had the spider on it. But the horrid scar looking thing had gone. Miroku frantically looked at his own arm to see the hideous mark on his own arm. With all his anger lashing out, he removed his pearls to suck that bastard in once and for all. But nothing happened. His hand had sealed. Miruko smiled evily. "Poor Miroku. Neither of us have it now. The spider has poisoned you too." The spider had reappeared on his arm but would not come off of Miroku's. "Sango!" Miroku whispered defeated. Inu-Yasha drew his Tetsiga. "Well, one of them has to die. But which one?" "Inu-Yasha, I'm the REAL Miroku!" "No I am! Kill him!" Inu-Yasha held his sword in ready position deciding whom to kill. "Wait!" Sango yelled. "I think that only I can tell which one is which. Will you unbind my hands?" Inu-Yasha cut her binds and she walked over to the two men. "Miroku, do you love me?" she cooed. They both answered in unison. "Of course I do!" She leaned in and kissed Miruko who just sat there. She then kissed Miroku who held her fast in his embrace. (typical Miroku) "Kill him." She pointed to Miruko. Inu-Yasha gritted his teeth and clutched the Tetsiga hard. He sliced that bastard into several bloody pieces. "His blood is not pure!" a voice from the dark called. "I do not accept the impure!" Miruko's blood boiled and splattered all over the walls. "If you wish to leave this place, your blood must be pure!" the voice called to them. Sango took up her dagger and sliced her arm and held it out as if asking if it were pure. The instant a drop of her blood hit the floor, she dropped dead. "SANGO!!" Miroku cried. He took the dagger from his love's hand and lacerated his own arm as if to say, "take my life, and just reunite us!" Tears were streaming down Miroku's face as he also dropped dead. "MIROKU, NO!" Kagome yelled. Only Inu-Yasha and Kagome remained. "Their blood was not pure, so they pay for it with their lives!" the voice called again. With trembling fingers, Inu-Yasha took the knife from Miroku and slashed himself. His blood tried to glow silver, but it faded into the crimson, and he also fell to his death. Kagome's silver tears fell to the ground mixing with the blood of her friends. "well?" The voice asked impatiently. Crying hardly controllably, Kagome took the knife from Inu-Yasha's dead hand. He was practically dead when she first met him. He looked peaceful except for the fact he was lying in a puddle of blood. His face was calmed and he was still. Slowly, she cut her own hand. She moved it toward the light as beads of blood began to form in her hand. A silver glow surrounded her. "Your blood is pure!" The voice snickered. "If you give me some pure blood, I will restore your friends their lives once more." A clear vial with some blood dripping off the side rolled toward her. "Just put your blood that shines silver in this and your friends will be restored." It called to her.
