The Unknown Brother Chapter 3
Toad in the Box
"What is it that you wanted, Lady Rafe?" Jaken asked. "Stop calling me Lady Rafe!" I snapped, dragging him along the forest trail. "How far do you plan to travel into this forsaken forest any ways?" Jaken whined. "Stop your whining; you're not scared are you?" I asked, my smile was widened ear to ear. "Er, no…W-w-why would get that idea?" He stuttered, sweat running down his face. "Uh huh, just what I thought." I remarked. I pulled him into the deepest park of the forest; were the trees were thick and the underbrush was lush and full of thorns. "R-Rafe?" Jaken stammered, "Where are you going! Don't leave me here!" His voice echoed through the trees in front and in back of me. "I'll be back Jaken, don't worry." I assured him.I traveled further into the forest, until Jaken couldn't see me anymore. Then, I pulled out my long awaited sword, The Dragon's Sword; each is given to a young dragon demon as a youngling to fight with. Mine is decorated with the signs of the night, sky, and the wind. I snickered as I ran my fingers over thesharp blade. "Jaken is going to paydearly for every annoying thing he's done!" My mind thought evilly.Suddenly, the once so silent forest was filled with Jaken's moans, wails, and death screams.
At a deserted village, not to far from Kaede's….
I carried a box, a normal box, as I entered on of the houses in the deserted village of the River. As I entered, I saw Sesshoumaru cleaning a sword I never saw before, The Toutousai. He glanced up at me as I placed the box in his lap. "What's this?" He asked quietly, putting down his sword, "And where's Jaken?" "Er—I—I didn't mean to, really I didn't but…" I paused. Sesshoumaru opened the box, revealing—Jaken's dead body. He looked up at me again, "Why?" He placed the box on the floor, next to my feet, and picked up the Toutousai and cut into Jaken's dead body with it; therefore, bringing him back from the dead. "What the hell did you do that for!" Jaken screeched angrily. "Hmph, you merely—pissed me off." I said, crossing my arms. Sesshoumaru shook his head, "Y'know Jaken, you piss me off sometimes too." "Wha? M'lord Sesshoumaru you agree with this—this beastly thing!" Jaken flailed his arms in anger and sadness. "Jaken, Jaken, Jaken, if you kept your mouth shut I wouldn't have had to have done that!" I retorted. I stood silent for a moment watching Jaken fiddle around with things in the house, looking for his staff, when something weird happened. My mind flashed, my eyes became covered with a black veil, something was wrong. "Rafe? Are you alright?" Sesshoumaru asked, tapping me on the shoulder. I couldn't move, I wanted to, but I couldn't. Sesshoumaru knew something was terrible wrong, but he was the one who was wrong. To be continued…. I know this one was kind of short, but the next one will be longer, I swear!
