Chapter 4
Hanyou/Youkai
Meetings
---In the bamboo forests of China---
A teenage girl slashed through another dense forest of bamboo. Her cat ears twitched back and forth, listening in on any strange noises. As she steps out of the brush, her silver tipped brown tail swishes, a black bow with two bells tied about six inches from the tip of the tail that now reached the back of her calves. She had matured in the past couple years. Though she was centuries old, she looked to be fifteen. Instead of wearing her old Haori, she wore a worn black kimono top with the sleeves torn off and stopped above her belly button, tied at the side with a small white bow so it wouldn't open. She had slim pants that were not common, torn at the ends so the looked like capris.
Mica looked around the clearing, which was filled with mini springs. Thin bamboo poles stuck out of the water, inviting passerby's to train on them. That was what she was here for. To train herself in martial arts so she would be better at it. It had been 20 years since she met Inuyasha, and after seeing him in battle, she knew she needed more experience. She had come all the way to the continent to come to this special training ground she had heard so much about.
'Feh.' She thought. 'Looks like just another hot or cold spring to me.' She was about to walk off when she heard a strange buzzing noise from above her. When she looked up, she saw a massive sized bee looking…thing. She cocked her head to the side. 'What the hell?'
Just as she thought it, a giant spider lookin' demon ran into the opening. It stopped immediately once it got a good look at her. She instantly got into a defensive stance as the demon was engulfed in a miasma. Once the fog cleared, it revealed a man with blood red eyes with blue eye shadow, black hair to the back of his knees, and a white baboon skin wrapped around his body.
'Girly man.' Mica thought as she went deeper into her defensive stance. The man looked her up and down before saying,
"It's certainly been a long time, eh Mica? You've grown into a fine woman. Too bad you're nothing but a stinkin' half-breed." he said with disgust.
Mica was surprised, but kept on guard. "Who are you? And how the hell do you know me?" She glared when he gave an empty chuckle.
"Why Mica, don't you recognize me? I suppose not, after all, I've gained all this demonic power. But really, I have you to thank for that." At her raised eyebrow he smirked. It's been about 20 years since you left me for dead. Back when I was human."
Realization hit her. "Onigumo!" She yelled in fury.
Once again, he chuckled. "Not quite. Now I go by Naraku. I've been looking for you all this time, and you were always on the continent. Well, now I can extract my revenge and I'll absorb your demonic power into my body!" As he shouted, tentacles flew out from underneath his cloak; wrapping around her legs, torso, and neck, leaving her to grasp at the one's binding her throat as she gasped for air.
'No!' she thought desperately. 'I can't…breathe!' she clawed and slashed at the glob of flesh, but Naraku only laughed at her attempts. "Why do you fight me, Mica?" he boasted. "You should be happy I'm putting your miserable life to an end."
'Somebody….Help me….' and with that, she screamed.
---A little outside the clearing---
A certain wolf girl was walking down the path Mica had just been in, fingering the yin-yang necklace around her neck. 'Wonder who did this.' She thought as she looked at the fallen trees. 'Maybe is good fighter who want challenge Kila!' An enthusiastic grin came to her face. 'Wonder if be like Sesshomaru-niisan.' Kila thought as she remembered her encounter with the emotionless inu-youkai a year ago.
-Flashback!-
Kila was walking along the bank of river, looking the human age of fifteen. (A/N: Which makes her sixteen now) She still had a green kimono and purple obi, except now it has pink cherry blossom designs on the right thigh and right breast. She also had bandages on her wrists and calves.
She was thinking about how to get to China and what kind of skilled fighters she would meet, when she felt her foot run over something scaly. She jumped back two feet with a screech before discovering the object to be a green imp demon with a brown royal kimono and a tall dark brown hat. It stood up quickly with a tan staff that had the head of an old man and a woman.
"How dare you, insolent wench!" It sputtered. "How dare you step on Lord Sesshomaru's charge, Jaken! Have you no sense?"
Kila just starred at the annoying creature called Jaken before saying, "You is stupid. No look like good fighter. You move now." And she simply walked around him, leaving him stuttering for a rebuttal.
"H-How dare you! You moronic wench! Who are you to tell me if I'm a good fighter or not? You're so stupid, you can't even talk correctly!" he yelled in rage. His rage was stopped short as she looked back at him with the coldest glare that could freeze a fire ball in its tracks.
In all truth, Kila was very self conscience of the way she talked. She grew up with the wolf clan, speaking nothing but the language of dogs and wolfs. (A/N: Notice in chapter 2 how she was always growling, barking or whimpering) To have this annoying little smudge on the side of the road say it to her was too much.
"Jaken. Stop this foolishness. I merely sent you to fetch some water, not chat with a common wolf cub."
Both turned in the direction of the voice to find a man with pointed ears, strips and a crescent moon on his cheeks and forehead, his sharp eyes cutting into Kila's as he stared her down. Jaken jumped up and down in an attempt to save his composure.
"Forgive me, my Lord, but this cur was questioning the mightiness (A/N: I can't believe that's a word.) of your power."
At this Kila gave a dead-pan look. "All Kila do is step on stupid green creature."
Jaken balked at her while the Inu-youkai did nothing but raise an eyebrow. Kila took this time to notice the Lords sword. She instantly brightened. "You is warrior! Oh, such good luck!" She crouched into a fighting position. "We fight, is okay?"
Before Sesshomaru could reply, Jaken jumped in between the two. "Listen here, you insolent cur! Lord Sesshomaru doesn't need to waste his time battling a weak little pup like---"
"As you wish."
Kila smiled got bigger as Jaken was awe struck…but so what? "M-Milord! Please reconsider!"
"Silence, Jaken. Are you questioning my reasoning?"
The little toad instantly shut up. Kila looked impatient. "Can we now start please?"
Before Jaken could begin ranting on how rude she was, Sesshomaru leaped into the air, poison claws raised and aimed at her throat. Her eyes widened a fraction as she evaded the blow, sending a swift kick to his midsection. He didn't even bat an eye as he jumped a few feet away from her.
"This is hard to admit, but you are actually a formidable opponent." he said as his hands glowed from the poison.
Kila smirked a little. "You no is so bad you-self. Usually demon be blasted to other side of forests from Kila kick."
"But alas, it is time to end this." He raised his talons above his head and rotated in a circle, the green whip creating a veil around him that slowly moved outward. Eventually it reached Kila, and did so so fast that she couldn't evade it. It hit her in the chest, creating a searing pain to rack her whole body as she was flung into a tree. He stopped and looked at her before turning to Jaken. "Hurry up and get your water."
Jaken stumbled off to do as he was told as Sesshomaru stepped toward the wolf-girl lying at the base of the tree.
He almost flinched when she snapped her head up to meet his. Her eyes held a flame, but her face held a smirk. He was thoroughly confused, but refused to show it. "What are you smirking for, pup?"
She continued to smirk as she picked herself up. "You is of beating Kila. Kouga say once beaten must pursue until kill. But Kila do different." She stood up fully, noticing that she went to just above his breast plate of armor. He raised an eyebrow as his only indication as to his amusement.
His amusement turned to shock as she jumped up, wrapping her arms around his neck and gave him a light kiss on the nose. It was the closest to gasping the demon Lord had ever come to in the past 200 years.
To make the moment even sweeter, Jaken chose this time to round the corner, catching his idol (And possible love interest) being smooched by the 'cur'. Even better, from his point of view, it seemed as if she was fully kissing him on the mouth! Jaken was effective only in missing the pointy rock on the ground as he fainted.
Kila pulled away and laughed at the seemingly dead toad. She turned to Sesshomaru as he was desperately telling himself not to touch the spot where she had just kissed. He turned slightly to her in silent question. "Is initiation! " At his raised eyebrow she continued. "For beat Kila, me just invited you, Lord Sesshomaru, into Kila family!"
His eyes widened the slightest bit before returning to normal. "Thanks but no thanks." He walked over and kicked the little green blob on the ground. "Come, Jaken. We are leaving." The toad jumped to life as they walked off.
Kila giggled to herself. "Someday, Sesshomaru-niisan. Someday, I get good enough and beat you!"
-End Flashback-
Kila giggled at the memory. The look on Jaken's face was priceless! She let out a powerful laugh as she remembered the wrinkled old prune fainting. Fainting!
Her joy was short-lived as she heard a scream pierce the air around her. 'What that?' She thought as she ran in the direction of the scream. She defiantly didn't expect to see the scene in front of her.
From what she could see, a very sinister (and girly) looking man who had tentacles coming out from under his clothes had a pretty cat girl wrapped up so she couldn't breathe and was slowly pulling her closer to him.
But what she was most mesmerized on was the reddish mark that she could barely see on the man's back. It seemed to make a picture…a picture of…a spider…spider….spider! She let out a silent gasp. 'That mark!' she thought. 'That mark was on back of spider demon…one who kill Kiro!'
Kila was engulfed in anger as she jumped out of her hiding place and used the pointed end of her flower to chop off the tentacles that were holding the cat girl up. "YOU LET GO!" she yelled as she got rid of the last offending limb.
Naraku scowled at her. "So the kitty cat has a wolf cub. This has nothing to do with you girl, so you best to run along before I kill you."
Kila glared at him with Mica on the ground, dazed behind her. "This IS Kila business. You is one who kill Kila brother. You is to die!"
Naraku put a hand to his chin, pretending to be thinking. "Kila…Kila…sorry. I can't remember ALL my victims. Though I DO remember destroying a wolf tribe…oh well." He gave a sinister smile. "Mica!"
The cat girl looked up suddenly, a growl in her throat. "What, you bastard!"
He pretended to be scrutinizing her. "Now, now Mica. No need to be rude. I just wanted to let you know I don't plan on absorbing you into my body."
'Good, because that's REALLY gross.' "Reeeally." She said in a misbelieving tone.
"Yes, really. " He had an evil glint in his eye and a smirk on his face. "Instead, here's your gift!"
She would've gasped if her throat hadn't been frozen shut. Her body was incased in ice. It tore at her skin and pricked at her clothes. She clenched her eyes shut to stop the pain from reaching them. 'Great. I'm gonna freeze to death.'
Suddenly, the pain stopped. The sound of broken glass could be heard as she fell to the ground. She looked up to see the wolf girl from before standing in front of her, arms wide apart. Mica was puzzled.
"W-why---"
The wolf looked back at her. "Kila know what like be hurt by spider demon. Mica-neechan no have go through that too."
Mica blinked.
She blinked again.
Blink, blink.
Blush.
"N-neechan!" she stuttered.
Kila smiled before kneeling down and giving Mica a light kiss on the forehead. "Is initiation! You now is Kila's neechan!"
"Aw. How sweet. Now the new sisters can die together!"
Kila and Mica looked up at the voice, but it was too late. Once again the freezing feeling came, but it didn't last as long, because soon they both became numb. The two girls were frozen in a block of ice.
Naraku walked over to the block and pulled out a seal written in Chinese letters. He smirked. "This seal will make sure the block never chips nor melts until InuYasha has been set free of HIS seal." He chortled. "Not that THAT will ever happen." (A/N: Yes, chortle is a word. Apparently it's a mix between a chuckle and a snort. On with the story))
He summoned his miasma and flew off to Japan, never expecting to have a run in with the neko-hanyou or the ookami youkai ever again.
30 years later, Kagome was pulled into the Well by a centipede demon and Fuwa made a journey to China…
