Chapter 2 - Kara Explains It All...Sort of
Kara's ears twitched and she sneezed. Hmm. Somebody must be talking about me.
Sesshoumaru's entourage had stopped for the night. He was sitting on a flat rock by the fire. Jaken was about a foot away from the taiyoukai, giving space, but not too much. Kara smirked. She glanced at the moon, it was about three in the morning.
Rin was asleep. She lay against Kara, wrapped in Kara's white cloak. The look of satisfaction on her face was priceless. Kara's ears perked in Jaken's direction. He was murmuring something in his sleep about dirty wolf youkai. Presumably, that meant her. Her eyes glanced up at Sesshoumaru. His eyes were closed, but Kara could tell that the taiyoukai was merely feigning sleep, perhaps meditating.
Kara shifted, her stomach growling. Kara looked down at her abdomen, shocked. She smiled wryly. Oh this body just keeps getting better and better, doesn't it?First, I need air, now food? She growled inaudibly and sighed. Her eyes flicked to the fire and then once again to Sesshoumaru's face.
His eyes were wide open, and Kara shivered. His honey-golden eyes were cold and almost emotionless. What I wouldn't give to be able to sense emotions right now. Kara stared at the taiyoukai a moment and then tucked Rin in tighter with the cloak. She stood and dusted herself off. Rin whined in her sleep, due to the loss of warmth. She smiled slightly and placed a hand on Rin's back.
"Warmth," she whispered, and Rin glowed softly. Kara heard the girl sigh with satisfaction. Kara righted herself and walked over to Sesshoumaru. His eyes had never left her for a second. Kara stopped and plopped down next to the taiyoukai, sharing the flat rock.
"You require nourishment," he said quietly, staring in her eyes, as if searching for something that he couldn't find. Kara smiled slightly and turned her gaze to the fire.
"Yes, it appears I do, Sesshoumaru-sama. I am not used to this physical form." The taiyoukai's left eyebrow raised a fraction of an inch. Kara took this as a sign to explain. She took a deep breath.
"Well, you see Sesshoumaru-sama. What I have told you about myself is not untrue, though it may seem so. I really am the only priestess of Juuou-sama. However, Juuou-sama is not of this world...and neither am I. I am not a ghost or something like that. I am, well, special. I am from a different dimension." She paused and glanced at Sesshoumaru, his eyebrow raised again. "A dimension where there are three main races. The gods, the monsters, and the humans. The gods are self-righteous, self-important, and self-appointed guardians of the world," she snorted and threw a stone into the fire. "They seek to protect mankind and control its chaotic tendencies. Stupid dragons. They know that humankind cannot be controlled and yet they seek to do so regardless," she sighed. "Anyway, I know I do not need to explain the race of men to you, since they are part of your world anyway. Let's just say they are a bit more advanced, freer, and do not fear you and I so much. Moving on, the last race is the race of monsters, of which I am a member. We monsters are the exact opposite of the gods. We seek to destroy the world. Or at least, that's what everybody thinks."
Sesshoumaru's eyebrow raised yet again. "Well, I personally, have no desire to destroy the world, or enslave the human race. They are much more amusing alive. I do not toy and slaughter humans for pleasure as some mazoku do. You see, Sesshoumaru," quite forgetting the formal title, "mazoku in my world have an astral body, a spirit body. We do not have a physical body, for we naturally reside on the astral plane. We do not need air, nor food, in the physical sense. We feed off emotions. Anger and hatred are delightful meals, while happiness makes us sick. That is why most mazoku torture their food. I have no desire, nor the power, to do so." The taiyoukai's eyebrow cocked again. That damn eyebrow, so inquisitive. Kara scowled inwardly, but continued nonetheless.
"It appears, Sesshoumaru, that my body has conformed to this dimension. Either that, or Xellos is playing a cruel trick. Xellos, is, well, I really can't call him my friend, since he did trap me in this dimension. Xellos is...well...the only other minion in the service of Juuou-sama. All the other mazoku lords have many minions. Juuou-sama only has Xellos and I. She is not weak. She only chose to share her power with two beings, making them quite powerful, instead of many. I am nearly as powerful as Xellos, but, I do not have his experience. He is over one thousand years old," she growled. "That bastard, plays with me anytime he feels like it. Thinks it funny to trap me in random dimensions. Oh no, Sesshoumaru, this isn't the first alternate dimension I've been trapped in. There have been many. And as far as I know, I have never been able to return to the Slayers dimension without Xellos's aid," she turned to the taiyoukai and smiled the trademark Xellos Metallium smile. "I am pretty much stuck here, until he decides he is bored without me."
"How...fortunate," the taiyoukai replied. "However, if you were a mazoku, as you say, then why did you turn into a wolf youkai? Explain that."
"Ah, well, you see Sesshoumaru. My mistress, takes the form of a wolf often times. She is Juuou-sama, the Greater Beast. A BEASTMASTER if you will. So I, her minion, would naturally assume the form of a wolf...youkai in this dimension."
"How did you know of this Sesshoumaru?"
"Ah," Kara said standing up and moving over to Rin. "That is an extremely long tale, one of which will take many hours to tell," She laid down next to Rin and curled her body around Rin. "However, I am tired Sesshoumaru-sama, and my body has not fully adjusted to this world. And besides, sore wa himitsu desu." The taiyoukai's eyes narrowed. "At least, for now."
Kara rested her head on the ground, and drifted off to a peaceful sleep. The taiyoukai's eyes watched her through the flames.
VOCAAAAAAAAAAB TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME! (think Blue's Clues, you silly puppies :P)
warmth - my own brand of spell; merely makes anything touched by the spellcaster's hand at the time warmer
the gods - opposing race to the monsters; users of white magic; natural form is a dragon on the physical plain
trademark Xellos Metallium smile - it pretty much looks likes shift+6 shift+hypen shift+6
sore wa himitsu desu - that is a secret; trademark phrase used by Xellos
