Ah-Un?
As Kagome smiled lightly at them she began to sense something very odd. It wasn't quite bad but it certainly wasn't good; it reminded her of the way Ah-Un felt….That's when she realized what it must be. As her eyes grew wide she took a reflexive step back-slipping on the still wet floor.
She landed on her back while the other cyborgs moved to help her up, all slightly confused.
003 was the first to speak. "Are you okay?" she asked in a concerned tone. As Kagome sat back up she tried to speak, to tell them what had surprised her so, when a wave of that same energy ripped through her body and she shot up from her place on the floor. "It's….kami-sama…..They couldn't possibly have found one….how…." as she muttered to herself in a state of shock the others were all trying to figure out what she was talking about.
"What in the hell are you on about!" 002 asked impatiently. He wasn't expecting her to stop mid-sentence and look him straight in the eye. He also wasn't expecting her answer (none of them were).
"A yokai……I can sense it….not that strong…but…how…?" She trailed off, her brow crinkling in confusion. As she opened her mouth to speak again, something rammed into the Dolphin, knocking everyone off their feet.
As everyone got up Kagome was already heading towards the door, trying to make her way to the top. "What the hell was that!" 002 asked, frustrated that he wasn't getting any answers.
Kagome slowly turned and stared at him, 002 finally noticing the golden eye; he shuddered slightly as it seemed to pierce his mind, almost like it was judging his worth. Apparently he passed.
"It is a yokai." This didn't help anyone much, except for 009 who shot her a funny look.
"A yokai? It can't be! They're only in legends! Besides, they say they all vanished from the earth years ago-" 009 had started, but was interrupted by Kagome's snort of amusement.
"What some ningen will believe…Sessho-maru-sama was right."
Again, 002 was frustrated; what in all the layers of hell was a yokai! "Yo! What is this yokai thing!" he very nearly shouted.
Kagome turned her attention back to him and her eyes seemed to glaze over slightly. "A yokai is what is also known as a demon-" at 002's disbelieving snort she added "-which supposedly vanished around 300 years ago."
"So you're saying…that demons exist." He was more then skeptical, but Kagome shot him an amused look.
"Cyborgs are real, aren't they?" At that all 002 could do was open and close his mouth, trying to think of a good reply. As another object rammed into the Dolphin Kagome continued making her way to the top. 005 quickly followed, instantly liking this strange woman. After a few minutes all the cyborgs had gathered on the top of the Dolphin and were searching the waters for the 'yokai.'
A large shadow moved quickly underneath the Dolphin and it was roughly the size of Ah-Un. Kagome was concentrating on sensing it again, the wind playing with her long raven hair; suddenly the creature shot up from the water and into the air, shocking everyone, especially Kagome.
The two headed dragon dove straight for Kagome, in what appeared to be a fierce rage (well, it would look like that at any time to someone who had never seen it before). The cyborgs all tensed but to their horror Kagome just stayed where she was, completely at ease, a small relieved smile playing on her lips. As the dragon reached her it slowed and finally stopped, bowing its twin heads over her shoulders in a strange type of hug. The saddle that was always present looked worn and old and it was slightly larger then she remembered it. But it was most definitely Ah-Un.
As she embraced the beast the cyborgs stared in shocked confusion, until 005 made to move forward and Ah's head swiveled around to stare at him and it began growling. Kagome laughed as she looked back at the frozen giant and she whispered soothingly to Ah and Un. As they calmed down and Kagome moved away slightly she turned to the cyborgs and said, "I would like you to meet a very old friend of mine. This is Ah-Un. Ah-Un these are the 00 cyborgs." Ah-Un bowed its heads in greeting and 005 lifted his eyebrow as the other cyborgs scoffed at the sight.
Once again 005 moved forwards and this time he was met with an ecstatic dragon nudging his hand like a dog wanting to be rubbed. He took the hint and did as instructed. Kagome laughed as the gentle giant smiled in delight, but suddenly frowned. "Ah-Un…where…" her throat suddenly tightened as she thought of why Ah-Un would be here. "Where is Sessho-maru-sama…?" her voice was barely above a whisper but Un turned to look at her, it's eyes turning somewhat troubled-it couldn't answer her.
--On the next episode of Cyborg 0033-What happened to Sessho-maru-sama? Why is Ah-Un all alone? And why haven't any of the other cyborgs spoken a word! Find out in the next exciting episode of…CYBORG 0033! -snicker-
