Disclaimer: I own Inuyasha about as much as I did yesterday. I didn't won
him yesterday/
It was the next morning and the group had started off early to look for more shards. Inuyasha still looked a little ticked off about being giggled and snickered at all night long, and tried to stay to himself all morning.
"Oh cheer up, Inuyasha!" Rainey bounced next to the sulking half demon, who was bringing up the rear of the group.
"Will you go away?"
"Why so hostile? You're not still angry about last night are you? We told you, we caught a really bad case of the giggles."
"Tell me something, why'd you only giggle when you saw me?" Inuyasha inquired.
"Hey, what are you and Kagome gonna do when you find all the jewel shards?" Rainey said, avoiding the question.
"I told you, I'm gonna become a full demon."
"And what about Kagome?"
"What about her?"
"Aren't you worried about what's gonna happen to her when she leaves?"
"What do ya mean 'when she leaves'?"
"Do you honestly think that she's gonna stick around here once you go off and become a full demon? What reason would she have to stay here?"
"Uh."
"I thought so. You don't look too far ahead into the future do you? Well I'll tell ya, she'd have no reason to stay here.unless." Rainey stopped short.
"Unless what?"
"Unless you were to give her a reason to stay."
Inuyasha cocked his eyebrow. "And why would I do that?"
"Hmm. I dunno. maybe you'll just have to figure that out on your own, huh Inuyasha?"
And before Inuyasha could say anything, Rainey ran up to the head of the group, where Sango was.
"Nice work." Sango said as she gave Rainey a discreet hi-five.
"Thanks. I knew it would work. That was good planning on your part." Rainey replied.
"If Kagome won't do it, we'll just have to." Sango stated.
Rainey nodded. The girls walked on for a while, each lost in her own thoughts.
'I bet it's true!' Rainey thought to herself as she looked at Sango. 'I'll just have to ask her.'
"I have a question for you, Sango." Rainey announced.
"O.K..." Sango said, a bit worried at what Rainey might ask or say seeing as how she tended to be on the unpredictable side. Rainey leaned in close to Sango as if to tell her a secret.
"You like Miroku, don't you?"
*stare*
*stare*
"WHAT???!!!" Sango nearly screamed.
"Unless you want to draw attention to yourself, I'd suggest you be a little more inconspicuous before the entire group comes over here." Rainey said casually "Now I'm gonna ask again, do you like Miroku?"
*Sango sputters and chokes over her own words*
Finally Sango was able to catch her breath and answered Rainey. "No, of course I don't like Miroku! Where'd you come up with an idea like that? That's completely crazy, he's a pervert. We have nothing in common. He's such a lecher. Me, like Miroku? What a joke!!!"
"For one who doesn't like someone, you certainly are making a big deal outta it. You could've just said 'No.' ya know."
"O.K. No, I don't like him." Sango said indignantly.
"Mmm hmm. Alright Sango." Rainey said, the sound of sarcasm and suspicion obvious in her voice.
"I don't!" Sango cried.
Rainey just turned around and waved her hand in dismissal over her shoulder as she strolled off. Luckily, she wasn't able to see Sango blushing furiously. Even luckier, she didn't hear Sango ask herself, "Do I?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey look! There's a village up ahead!" Shippo announced.
They had been searching for three days and hadn't found any shards. Not to mention Kagome had just run out of food that morning.
*grumble*
Miroku blushed as his stomach made some rather loud and unpleasant noises.
"Gimme a break. Can't you go for at least one day without a meal? You are such a-"
*GRUMBLE!!! *
Inuyasha's taunts were cut short by ghastly, terrifying, bone rattling sounds coming from his own stomach.
"What's the matter Inuyasha? Are you hungry? That sound surpasses mine 50 times over." Miroku grinned.
*Grr.* was the only reply.
"I think we're all hungry so let's just hurry up and go to the village Shippo saw. They'll have something to eat." Kagome lead the group in the direction of the village. All of a sudden Inuyasha stopped.
Kagome turned around to look at him. "What's wrong, Inuya-?"
"I can smell bloodshed coming from that village. A lot of it. And death. It's been attacked."
They rushed to the village and gasped. Bodies covered the ground: Men, women and children. All of their faces had the look of pure terror spread across them.
"Why do they all look so scared?" Shippo asked.
"I dunno. But let's find out." Inuyasha said.
They all separated, looking for anyone that might still be alive. Rainey stepped over the carnage carefully, peering into each face, looking for some sign of life.
"Hello?" she whispered. "Is there anybody still alive out there?"
"Yes" a voice from behind her said. It was barely audible, but Rainey heard it. She looked around until she found the owner of the voice. It belonged to a young girl, no older than 12. She had blood flowing freely from one arm. Her legs were bashed and cut. Her wounds seemed innumerable. She was covered all over in blood, bruises and bite marks, except for her face. Her face seemed untouched. It was hard to tell with all those braids in her face. Rainey called for the others to come as she knelt down. In a matter of seconds, everyone was gathered around the little girl.
"Oh my goodness." Kagome breathed.
"Who or what did this?" Sango asked gently.
Rainey brushed the braids similar to her own away from the girl's face and gasped. They all looked at what Rainey gasped at and soon repeated the reaction.
'She looks just like my sister...'
Kagome stared. She too knew how alike this girl and Rainey's sister looked. She had seen many pictures and heard many more stories.
"They look just alike," Sango whispered to Miroku.
"No, not quite, Rainey has a rounder face, that makes her look like she's smiling all the time. And Rainey looks older."
"Yeah, you're right. but they still look so much alike." Sango replied
"I never really saw the similarities of my sister and I" Rainey started "And I still don't. I don't think I look like this girl at all. But she looks exactly like my sister."
"Could she be your sister?" Kagome asked.
Rainey glanced at Kagome, and then turned around.
"No. My sister is back home in California in the future. This can't be her. She's probably a relative-er- ancestor. I am part Japanese, ya know."
"But you got here. Maybe your sister did too."
Rainey turned to look at the girl lying before her, bearing her sister's face. "What's your name?" Rainey said,
"Jazmen." The girl replied weakly.
"Jazmen?" Kagome said. "But that's-"
'That's my sister's name.'
