Identity Crisis
Chapter 3: I wouldn't mind doing it more
The next day, after settling Kyota and Shippo in a guest room, Amaya had finally remembered they have forgotten about Skye. Also…Amaya had not let go about the Jewel eating her cell phone. In addition, the fact that the jewel was still with them was slightly irritating.
"Oi, Kagome?" Amaya called out as she sucked on some Dr. Pepper, but fixed herself at Kagome's small glare, "Okay, hey mom?"
"Yes sweetie?" she asked with a large smile, how utterly creepy
"Where is Souta?" she questioned. "I mean the twerps not here, so where is he?"
"Don't talk that way about your uncle!" Kagome reprimanded, "But don't you remember? He's in France with Sakura, getting ready for the wedding in a week with her fiancé."
Amaya brushed it off but as she heard her cell phone ring tone, the exact same one she has for Skye. Kyota came down the stairs with a twitching eye, her lips curled into a frown.
"What the freak is that noise? Shut it UP!" she called and her eye continued to twitch as the phone continued to ring.
Amaya got up, set her soda down, and tried to find where that noise was from. If she was right then she hadn't lost her cell phone!
"THAT STUPID JEWEL STOLE MY PHONE!" Amaya yelled as she pushed out of the door and went towards the noise.
Kyota didn't follow behind her as quickly, instead she looked over to the shrine steps with wide eyes. Amaya left her friend there without another thought as she tried to locate where that ring-tone was coming from. She finally heard it the loudest at the base of the God tree, just right inside of the protective gate.
"I knew that jewel ate it." She glared at the tree and held up the jewel in her hand, "I hate you." She told it.
"Hey Amaya?" Kyota called from her side.
Amaya didn't answer but started to dig up the ground where she somehow just knew it was buried. Her claws were very helpful, but soon she just started to dig with handfuls. The quarter demon was so caught up in digging that she didn't even notice the two people that came up to her.
Kyota laughed nervously and gestured to Amaya, "And that would be your niece…"
"So I see," The male voice said as Amaya dug up a small treasure chest.
The mentioned teen started to claw at the thing that dared to capture her ringing phone. "Why wont you break!"
"Maybe it's a strong thing," Kyota said.
Amaya turned to the new person and did not give a thought to who he was as she grabbed the thick sword strapped to his side. She pulled it up high and brought it down on the chest, "DIE!"
Kyota did the sweat-drop expression and Sesshomaru, the male standing beside her, narrowed his eyes. Amaya kept hacking at it, even as the lock turned to rubble. Finally, after everything was destroyed she threw the sword.
Inuyasha had just started to come up the set of stairs as the sword came racing at his head. "What the hell! Sesshomaru!" he yelled after jumping over it.
"It was not I, little Brother," his voice was somewhat mocking.
"I know it was you bastard. That was YOUR SWORD!" Inuyasha bellowed, "IT ALMOST SLICED OFF MY HEAD!"
"Pity, it had been so close," Sesshomaru said. This caused Kyota and Amaya to laugh, but soon Amaya tried to make amends for her mistake.
"That was me!" she held up her hand and tried to find a place of reception for her cell, "Sorry."
Inuyasha clenched his fists but tried something Kagome had shown him many years now, "1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…9…10…" he paused, his face still contorted in anger, "Kagome! Your thing didn't work, AGAIN!"
"AMAYA!" he yelled as he walked closer.
Amaya let out an 'eep' before going over to Sesshomaru and grabbing onto his white sleeve as she successfully hid her face behind it. "Help me! He's evil, don't let him touch me!"
Kyota laughed, but tried to hide that fact and looked down at the forgotten cell phone. She could faintly hear the distressed, staticy call of Skye.
"Hola?" Kyota answered in the cowering Amaya's place.
"Kat!" Skye questioned, near panic. "Help me!"
"Hold on," Kyota held her hand over the speaker.
She looked to see Sesshomaru being pivoted around by Amaya as she hid from her own father, who's face was just as red as his outer jacket. Sesshomaru for the moment seemed to be amused, if the light inside of his eyes was anything to go by. Oh, and the smirk on his face was a big give away too.
"Let go of my kid," Inuyasha forced out of clenched teeth.
"Am I restraining her? I believe you are getting worse, if your own pup can not stand you."
Amaya looked out from behind Sesshomaru's shoulder, "Burrrrn…"
Kyota laughed heavily and tried to get back into talking order to handle Skye, "Sorry…something very, very funny just happened…"
"Oh well, help me!" Skye cried out.
"Why, what's the matter?" Kyota blinked.
"I'm in a wedding shop, in France, in a white dress with this scary blond lady that keeps chirping in something I don't understand!" There was an easy indication that she was upset and panicking, her voice was rising and speeding up.
"Hold on," Kyota said and covered the phone speaker again, "OI! RAYNE! SKYE'S IN TROUBLE!"
Amaya stopped and stepped away from Sesshomaru's back. She looked back at him and decided to grab his sleeve and pull him along, just in case. "Come with me shield---I mean Sesshomaru."
Quickly she sidestepped towards Kyota and picked up the phone. "What did you do this time?"
"I didn't do anything!" Skye whimpered, "This lady keeps saying I'm getting married..."
"eee, to who?"
"I don't know!" Skye said.
"Are you being called any other name?"
"Sakura, but what does that matter? I don't WANT TO GET MARRIED!"
"Where are you?"
"I TOLD YOU FRANCE!" Skye, or Sakura, kept shouting.
"Okay, hold on. Wait, did you say Sakura? Hey, you're my cousin!" the last part was said in a slightly happier tone then the rest.
"GET YOUR BUTTS DOWN HERE!"
"Okay, whatever…we're coming. Bye," Amaya said and hung up on her.
She turned to everyone else and pocketed her phone, this time making sure it wasn't by the Shikon no Tama. She looked to Inuyasha and gave him a glare as he was about to yell at her for earlier. Amaya set a quick pace into the house and called out for her mother.
"We need to go to France."
"Why?" Kagome asked with worry and set down her battery spatula.
"Because Sakura wants us to go."
"Oh, how sweet." Kagome said and rubbed her hands on her apron, "Inuyasha!"
Inuyasha came stalking in there, his arms folded over his chest and his eyes in what seemed to be a constant glare. "What do you want now?"
"Amaya wants to go visit her cousin, isn't that sweet?"
"No, its stupid. I don't want to go anywhere, especially near Souta's mate." He frowned but you could see part of him wanted to go, it's just the other part of him was bigger and meaner.
"Her name is Kelly-Lee and you know it," Kagome told him over her shoulder as she went to the desk. She unlocked a drawer and pulled out a small wooden box full of money.
"Here Amaya." She handed her a wad of money, causing the younger girl's eyes to widen at how much was there.
Kyota grabbed Amaya's sleeve and started towards the door. Kagome stopped them, with small tears in her eyes. Both of them looked at her and sighed.
"What's the matter?" Kyota asked.
"Don't you remember? It's our holiday; we hold it every other year so you can get to know your close family…"
Amaya frowned, "Then why aren't Sakura and Souta here?"
Kagome smiled, probably thinking they were both going to stay, "Souta and Kelly-Lee had so much to do to help Sakura with her wedding in France that they couldn't find the time to make it. I'm sorry; I know how much you enjoy Kelly-Lee's visits."
"Yeah, probably not anymore," Amaya mumbled under her breath and started to walk away.
"Wait! Where are you going?" Again, the mother of Amaya stopped them.
"To France."
"But aren't you going to stay?" if you were to look at her right now you would have thought someone close to her just broke her heart, but actually she was experiencing those nasty things called mood-swings.
Amaya looked at her, looked at the money, then back to Kagome. "I guess we could go tomorrow…"
"Great!" Kagome clapped her hands together in joy. "I know you'll love it this time! I mean, it's your's and Kyota's turn to get presents!"
"Presents?" Amaya's attention was finally caught.
"Uh huh, one from each household silly. Come on; don't tell me you've forgotten! It's tradition!"
"Well, that settles it we're staying until tomorrow night." Amaya said and nodded, "But then we're leaving. Sound good Kat- I mean Kyota?"
"Yeah, besides this is going to be interesting." Kyota said and mimicked her fingers in the malicious tapping. "A family reunion of demons and shrine people…I can't think of anything better to see."
By that time Kagome had happily gone out of the main room and told Inuyasha about how this reunion is going to be exciting. It was easy to see that neither brother's cared too much about it, though at least Inuyasha pretended to be happy about it.
Amaya started to count the money, her eyes getting wider all the time. "Oh wow, she gave us a lot."
"How much?"
"Put it this way, we can go to America, France, India, China, Africa, and Australia with no problem for a month and have money to spend."
Kyota looked at her as if she were crazy, "That…is…a lot…"
"Yeah," Amaya blinked and then looked over to the jewel on the table as it sat so innocently.
"You know, I think I like the jewel now."
"Why?" Kyota tilted her head and blinked.
"Look at how much money we got to go save Skye, Sakura or whoever, I wouldn't mind doing it more."
