"What rotten luck!" He thought as he left the village. He couldn't help that he was good looking so why was it his fault? The women of the that village didn't know how to keep their thoughts of him to themself so it wasn't his doing. "They are so stupid!" He fume as he walks on, the young man ran his hand through his thick silky hair as he sighed deeply while his thoughts remember what Sango had told him.
The small family had already eaten their dinner and Miroku was getting his son ready for bed. "Come on Kohaku, it's time for bed, say good night to mommy!" The little boy ran into his mother's leg and gives her a tight hug, he then backs away to show her his smiling face. "G'night mommy!" He then ran into the young fox demon and also gives him a hug. "G'night big brother, I'll see you tomarrow!" With that said he follows his dad to his room.
Sango, nervous as she was sat next to Shippo. She sighs and looks around the room. "My, my..." She started off saying. Trying to start a conversation. "This house needs some cleaning." The young adult fox frowned at her. "Wha...?" He started to ask when his attention was suddenly focuse on her hands, she played with her hands so much that it cause him to wonder and slowly his eyes wondered back to her face. "Um... Sango, do you have something to tell me?"
The woman jumps and her eyes averted to his. She scratches her head and smiled nervously. "Uh... No... That is um..." She stuttered making him frown even harder. "What's wrong with you?" Annoyance showing in his voice.
She took a deep breath and place a hand on his shoulder. "Son..." She started to say as she removes her hand and gets up. "I have somewhat of a bad news for you." Shippo raises one eyebrow while looking at her. "Go on, I'm listening.."
"I..." She looks at him and tears started to form in her eyes. Shippo could see the hurt look on her face as she tried to speak. "I..." She started to say again as her cries drowned out her voice and tears begane to fall from her face. Shippo was lost for words and couldn't think of anything to say. He pushes his chair back and gets up, he walks over to Sango and puts an arm around her shoulder. "It's okay Sango." He says as he pats and rubs her back, trying to comfort her. "What ever it is your trying to say, I understand."
Sango wipes away her tears that had been falling and once again she takes a deep breath. She gives him a hug, kisses him on the cheek and places his face in her hands and smiles warmly. "Oh Shippo... After all these years, you still can't call me mother..." His eyes widen and quickly looks away. "Well... That is... You know..." He tries to say as his eyes landed back on her. She laughs lightly. "That's okay." She kisses him on the forehead. "Just as long as you remember that this family loves you and that you'll always have a mother and father and a little brother." Again, she sighs. "I'm trying to tell you that I have to send you away now." Shippo's heart fell but didn't show any emotions about it. "Oh..." He whispers as his eyes slowly wondered away.
She sniffs and wipes her nose. "The men of this village is in an uproar and the women are sorry that they've said anything about you." Shippo's eyes quickly snaps back to Sango. "Why? What have the women been saying about me?" Sango moves his long hair out of his face. "Oh nothing, just that your good-looking and that you have a heart of gold and that your always there when the husbands ain't around."
Shippo's face fell. "Is that all? What's wrong with that?" Once again Sango wipes her nose. "Nothing really, it's just that the men are jealous and it's your name they hear about when they come home from the fields." Shippo lowers his eyes. "Oh I see..." He gets up and stretches. "So Sango what do you want me to do? Besides get up and leave?" She gets up with him and puts both hands on both of his shoulders. "First of all, if you can try; start calling me mother." She sighs and looks to the side. "I wish Kagome were here, she'd know what to do." She looks back at him. "But this is the best I can do." She balls up her fist. "Without hurting them for their stupidity!"
Both Sango and Shippo laughs. "Oh alright, I'll leave; it's time for me to be on my own anyways."
The next day Shippo says his goodbyes to his family and to the villagers. He notice that the men weren't looking eye to eye at him. Shame was written all over their face but the women cried and made plenty of food and gathered enough cloths for him to be on his way. Keade gives him a hug. "Now fox demon, do not be a stranger here, do ye understand?" Shippo nodes his head. With that said and done, the young demon went on his way.
The first thing that came to mind, was to visit Inuyasha. "I haven't seen that old hound in the histories of forevers!" So the way he went, off to find his old friend.
The night before...
He grabs her neck and slams her agaisnt one of the forest trees. "Wench!" He growled under his breath. "What business do you have on my land?" The beautiful long haired demonness says nothing but smiles at him. "Will you not let a lady passssss through?" Her hand moving slowly over his body as her hair suddenly moves on it's own.
Sesshoumaru jumps back when her eyes suddenly glows red causing him to cover his eyes. "Lady Medusa..." He says as he growls deeply at her. "You must be stupid for coming back, after my father has vanish your family from this land."
She hisses and snaps her snake like tail at him but he easily dodges. "I am here to take back what is rightfully ours and you will not stand in my way!" She hisses as she swings her tail again finally catching him in mid-air, throwing him hard through the forest ground causing him to break a few trees. "And what's more, your going to help me do it!" She quickly slither her way towards him, her eyes glowing and baring her fangs. "If not you, then someone close to you will!"
He jumps to the air as she once again swings her tail at him. He laughs wickedly. "Wench, what makes you think I have someone close to me?" He extened his claws, getting ready to strike her with it. "I, Lord of this land has no weakness, so therefor you have nothing against me!" he strikes her. She screams, covers her face and slithers back a few inches, pissing her off even more than she already was. "FOOL!" She cried out. She slams her tail on the ground cuasing it to rumble before her. She removes her hands, reveiling three long scares on her beautiful face.
Her eyes glowed even deeper red than before, she stood there staring at the forest and slowly but surely the trees were becoming stones. "If I cannot kill you, I will kill this land. You will have nothing when I am done!" As she says this, the ground becomes concrete and massives of land and trees became stones. The waterfall he was bathing at earlier also became stone. "BITCH!" He thought angerly as he came down on the ground hard, cracking the stone around him. The waterfall was the last straw, that was his favorite place to be and this slithering snake took it away from him. "You will pay for that!" He growled deeply.
She turns around and laughs wickedly. "You will know my family's curse!" With that said and done, she vanishes to the air, with wings that suddenly appeared on her back.
Sesshoumaru stood there breathing heavily, his anger rising as he looks around. "DAMN THAT WITCH!" He cried out as his thoughts wondered about. How did his father defeated that snake clan of her's? How? He will have his revenge.
The sound of hands clapping together were heard and he quickly narrows his eyes. He sniffs the air and a familier scent was in question. "What are you doing here?" He growled as he slowly turns his head to look over his shoulder. A deep voice was heard and laughter was quickly fallowed. "Now, now Sesshoumaru, is that any way to greet an old friend?"
A shadow walks up behind the Inu Lord and a smirk was heard. "Old friend?" Sesshoumaru ask mockingly. "What makes you think your an old friend?" He turns around to fully look at the person who claims to be his friend. "Osaru..." Sesshoumaru stated. "Where have you been in centuries?"
The long dark haired beauty laughs. "Oh here and there, you know... Getting laid and causing trouble." The Inu Lord rolls his eyes. He knew Osaru since they were little and like Sesshoumaru, he too was a dog demon but instead of white fur he had black and it seem to suit him well, along with his atittude. Osaru was the complete opposites of Sesshoumaru, he was the type of guy who smiled at everything. Weather it was good or bad but there was a few times when he was serious, very, very serious. It cause shivers upon Sesshoumaru and he notice a dark presence coming from this demon but that was only a few times.
"What brings you here?" He ask him as he starts to walk away, Osaru fallowing not far behind. "Oh nothing..." He lefts up a womans head with his right hand and smiles. "I just happen to be flying over your land and saw a bunch of commotion, so I decided to stop by!" He tells him this with a hint of glee in his voice. This happiness of his was making Sesshoumaru sick. The Lord turns around to face him but notices something in his right hand, he raises one of his eyebrow and looks back at Osaru. "Is that a woman's head?" He question.
Osaru lefts up the head and looks at it. "What this? Oh she just happens to be at the wrong place at the wrong time." He tosses the head to Sesshoumaru and smiles. "You may have her if you want." Sesshoumaru frowns. "Your a sick dog..."
The dark haired beauty laughs. "Yes I am..." He says as his voice suddenly trails off. "Yes.. I.. am..." He shakes his head and looks back at Sesshoumaru, his smile never fading. "I must be going old friend, hopefully I will see you again." With that said, he bows and quickly takes off to the air. Sesshoumaru watches as the other Inu takes off. The whole time they were talking, his mouth was covered but the Lord knew that he was smiling, he could feel it burning into his very soul.
As long as Sesshoumaru could remember, in Osaru's land; he was known as the stealth assassin. He lived by honor and killed by stealth. If anyone had cross him; he was sure to have their head that night. All who knew him, feared him and Sesshoumaru who knew him since childhood was the only one who didn't fear him.
Sesshoumaru looks at the moon above him. It was late into the night and he didn't want to waist anymore time. But as he turned to leave, a light shot up towards the sky and his eyes fallowed to see where it was coming form.
Petite little hands appeared at the edge of the well and soon a woman fallowed. The woman stood about 5'1, dark straight hair that pass her butt flowed against the wind. She wore preisttess clothing but her shoes where a bit odd. They covered her intire feet and had laces. She had pale skin and full lips. She was beautiful and as she steps out of the well, she smiles. "I'm back"
