Sesshomaru: What are you doing?
Me: What do you mean?
Sesshomaru: You haven't taken your eyes off me in ten minutes, it's disturbing.
Me: Where does your tail come from?
Sesshomaru: My Father.
Me: Not that, in what part does it-
Sesshomaru: (Glares) …Leave me alone
I looked down as the forest played out its role like it was supposed to. Birds were singing, trees were growing, and a beautiful girl was slouched over on a tree..
Wait a minute… beautiful girl slouched over on a tree, that does not sound right.
" Hachi, land over there." I pointed to an area near her. I walked into a small clearing and looked at her still form.
" Hey there." I said, meekly. She gave me a glance and her eyes returned to the dust. " What are you doing?"
" Waiting for my wind tunnel to swallow me up." She said, forebodingly. Without knowing what was going on I wrenched her up by her collar and said:
" Don't ever say that, you should never think that way, you are wasting what little life you have. Life is too short, why should we accept our fate." I hastily let go when I came to my senses.
Her back rested against the rough tree bark as her body shook. Oh Gods, she's crying.
" Miroku," her voice full of dark laughter, " Don't you think I know this? Everyday I am reminded that my days are numbered. Naraku was in love with my grandmother and he is infatuated with me and everyday he sends some sick diminutive servant of his and reminds me that I am of no use. Everyday I am beaten for things beyond my control. Don't sit there and try to tell me how fucked up life is, Naraku is going to make sure I die. I don't need advice on life, I'm living it too."
I could feel a dark energy surge though her body. Naraku. He was in her, he could feel everything she felt, and he enjoyed it. I watched as her pale blue eyes turned to a malicious shade of red and changed back faster than I had ever seen anything change. Though it was just a flash, I felt a wave of horror crash down on me.
" I'm sorry, Miroku. I don't know what came over me. Please forgive. Sometimes I get really mad, and its mostly from pain, I didn't mean to take it out on you." A tear slithered down her jaw line. " I'm not supposed to talk to you, I'll get into trouble."
" Wait," I half-yelled, " Who hurts you?"
" Let's just say, my master isn't the nicest person to get along with." And with that she walked into the shadows of the trees, her gentle sobs filling the air.
" It's amazing how both of you look like your grandparents." A dark voice said.
" What do you mean, Naraku?"
" You bear a resemblance to your grandfather in more ways than one, you both don't seem to grasp what is mine. Kijo is the closest thing to a reincarnate of her grandmother, they both seem to fall for men of the cloth, particularly unholy ones. It's best if you stay away from her, you already have one curse, why take on another."
" What do you mean about ' what is mine'? And what about Kikyo?" The questions reeled in my mind.
" Kijo belongs to me, as her grandmother did. And as for Kikyo, the Kikyo that Onigumo fell in love with is no longer with us, now she is nothing but a clay case for a quarter of her soul. She is of no use but to appease Onigumo's recollections. I again advise you to stay away from her, she is mine." With that the spider demon disappeared in a flicker of white baboon fur.
With a rustle of tree leaves InuYasha appeared, tetsusaiga drawn. Sango, Kagome, and Shippo appeared riding on the demon cat, Kirara. " Where is he monk?" He growled.
" He is gone, InuYasha, we were discussing some imperative matters." I said, void of the emotions I was feeling. He swore to have a claim over Kijo, as he did her grandmother. What exactly did we have the wind tunnel for? How did we get it? And why was Naraku so infatuated with the female half of Kijo's family? The questions ran rampant through my head, searching for a trace of something that could tide it over until I found the truth. Nothing. My mind was blank.
" Hey monk, lets get going, nothing's going on anyway." I reluctantly climbed on Kirara, glad that Kagome sat in the back. I grabbed onto her hips as we soared through the air, questions, once again, filling my mind.
Kijo POVIt is until I taste the salt do I realize I'm crying. There is so much about my past I have forgotten, and so much I wish to forget. It's weird how the man in my life, the one it is my destiny to kill, is the only one keeping me alive.
I walked to the village, Koru at my side. She was silent so I knew something was wrong. She let out a growl and ran to the outskirts of the village, I followed. My staff jingling with every movement. She ran to the Lord's mansion and paused waiting for me to catch up. I could sense the demonic aura as chills ran up and down my spine. I knocked on the door frame as Koru changed into her animal form. The cute, cuddly fox that was at my side gone unnoticed, seen as just a harmless pet. Well, if you didn't notice that her eyes had a slight blue tint and she seemed to smile, baring her sharp teeth.
The lord was a corpulent, sagacious man. The many levels of his kimono seemed to float around him as a bird to wind currents on a warm day.
" Excuse me, I do not mean to interrupt, but I sense a demon on your property. As a person under the teachings of a monk, I wish to exorcise it, free of charge." I bowed, as he waved me in.
" Hey monk, I guess someone beat you to your own scam , huh." I ignored the comment though it was very loud and unruly. He followed me down a hallway as I concentrated on the energy. Looking, no, feeling for that spike of energy that meant I was close. It felt like a rush of adrenaline, and I had to admit, I loved it. A jolt ran through my body, I stopped abruptly. I reached into my robes and pulled out an ofuda. I let my spiritual power run through it, bringing it to life. With a flick of my wrist, it attached to the wall, driving the evil spirit out for me to kill it with a blunt hit on the head.
I retraced my steps until I was standing at the door and turned to him, " Sorry for the intrusion." I turned to walk away as he reached out and grabbed my shoulder.
" Well you can't leave without some sort of payment. Please stay for the night."
" Well, the offer is quite tempting b," My sentence was cut off as a hand covered my mouth. " As my young companion was about to say, the offer is quite tempting so we have no choice but to stay. Could you find it in your heart to accept our companions in on your gracious offer." The hand slid from around my mouth. My mouth was open and it made me feel rather stupid, but could you blame me? I turned to meet my worse nightmare. Miroku.
Miroku POVI had been thinking. And I mean really thinking. Not just idle and random thoughts drifting through my mind. Not just a flicker of imagination, and unfinished thoughts about pieces and fragments of life. I had stopped everything and all the stuff floating in my mind to think about Kijo. Kijo meaning Lady, very formal. Not something you would see affiliated with a conniving half spider demon. More like a princess or a Lady of the lands.
As we were coming up on a nearby village I sensed a demon's presence but it didn't affect me anyway, whatsoever. It would still be there when I got there, and if it wasn't I could still find a way to sucker one of the richest people into giving us food and board.
I kept thinking about what Mushin had said. At the time of my birth, I had sucked my own mother into my wind tunnel. My " prized" possession had killed the one person who could have changed my life, or alter it from it's gloomy disposition.
" Hey monk, I guess someone beat you to your own scam , huh." Echoed through my ears as InuYasha smacked my back. Had my staff not been there, I would have fell to the ground. I saw a rustle of blue robes move into the house, a red fox at their heels. I waited for what seemed like an eternity waiting for her to come out of that castle.
" Well, the offer is quite tempting b,"that was my chance and I gladly took it. " As my young companion was about to say, the offer is quite tempting so we have no choice but to stay. Could you find it in your heart to accept our companions in on your gracious offer." Now I was going to be with someone besides Naraku who can tell me what the in the sevens hells is going on. My life was going well…so far.
