Chapter 9: Times Tango Once Again

"What the hell is going on?" Asked Zoria to the strangers in font of her.

"Whoa!.. the Tetsaiga..." Said Shippo, still in awe.

"Tetsaiga? You mean this sword has a name?" Asked Zoria still confused.

"Come on, let's go." Said Néo as she started to walk. Shippo followed then stopped. "Come on! You too!" Said Shippo to Zoria as he waved the 'come here' sing.

Zoria caught up to Shippo and Néo.

"Néo?" Said Zoria, shyly.

"Yes?" Answered the young miko.

"How do you know about my father?"

"Oh, Inuyasha? Everyone around here knows about him." said Shippo. "I was one of his companions on his journey to search for the Shikkon Jewel shards and defeat Naraku!" said Shippo with pride.

"Really? Cool. So he really was a hanyou?"

"Why do you ask, you're a hanyou yourself!"

"I've only been a hanyou since this morning... I've been acting strange also... I clawed my best friend in the face..." Said Zoria as she looked at her new claws.

"Strange... I wonder why.." said Shippo

"Néo? Why did you say that my father would pay? Pay for what?" Asked Zoria

"He and Kagome will pay for disrupting destiny." Said Néo as her green eyes looked straight at Zoria's purple eyes. "It can't be helped. I' afraid that's just the way it is."

"I don't understand." Said Zoria.

"Either do I.. It all has to do something with what Kaede said before she died." Said Néo as they all entered a nearby village.

"Kaede?" Asked Zoria

"Yes. She was Kikyo's sister. When she took sick, she was sent to me to take care of her. Shippo and I took care of her until she died." Explained Néo.

"Kikyo... my mom says that she is Kikyo's reincarnation." Said Zoria with exitement.

"That's right! What Néo over here means is that Kaede said some weird rhyme right before her last breath. Said Shippo.

"The light within the miko and the hanyou will bring Naraku back for good... damn them they shall pay, for they have disrupted time and destiny." Said Néo as she recalled Kaede's last words.

"Wow... I wonder what this all means..." Said Zoria skeptically.

They entered a hut where there were lots of children of varied ages running around

"Hey Shippo, Néo, and, who might you be?" Said a woman dressed in a pink and green kimono with black hair, pointing at Zoria.

"Yeah, you're pretty hot for an outsider! Nice ears!" Said a young man about Zoria's age as he rubbed his hand on Zoria's behind.

"Stop that behaviour that instant, Midoru! You know very well that that's not the way you attract a woman!" Said the woman in pink. Midoru stopped rubbing Zoria's behind.

"Idiot!" said Shippo.

"Now appologize to that girl right now!" Said Sango to Midoru very angrily. She was so infuriated that steam laterally escaped her ears.

"Um... sorry, um, what's your name?"

"...Zoria"

"Well, sorry Zoria, and it wont happen again! I promise!" Said Midoru.

"Like father like son, eh, Sango?" Said Néo as she nookied Midoru's head. "So, is Miroku any better?"

"He is still badly ill, and getting worse... oh Néo, I'm worried!" Said Sango in anxiety.

"I'm fine! Just a little sick is all! There's nothing wrong with me!" Yelled Miroku from the other end of the hut.

"Stay right where you are Miroku! You are in no condition to be moving around!" Yelled Sango.

"Has he been sick for long?" Asked Zoria.

"No, this all started about a week ago. He's been complaining that he felt nauseous and tired, then this morning, he just collapsed." Said Sango, getting more and more anxious.

Zoria felt bad for Sango, Miroku and the rest of the family. A feeling of uselessness overcame her.

"Is there anything I can do?" asked Zoria.

"I'm afraid we just have to wait and see... we've tried everything to cure him..." Said Néo.

Zoria wanted to cry as she saw a tear slide down Sango's cheek. She approached Sango and gave her a big hug. "Everything is gonna be ok! Ok?" Said Zoria reasuringly.

This girl sounds a lot like Kagome... Thought Sango.

"Wow! You're definitely Kagome's kid! No doubt about it!" Said Shippo.

"Kagome? Hasn't the time-travelness of the well been sealed after Naraku was defeated and the jewel was restored?" Said Sango. (Sorry, that word escaped my mind... I'll fix it as soon as I remember it.)

"But she mysteriously broke the barrier between her era and the Feudal Era... strange" Pondered Shippo.

"My Father's sword fell off the wall and made its way towards me, and I grabbed it then woke up in the well, here!" Explained Zoria.

"That's odd... could the Tetsaiga have anything to do with it?" Pondered shippo some more.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

A large cry was heard from where Miroku was as a huge gust of wind invaded the house. All of the things in the house started to move around like a tornado. Sango, Shippo, Néo, Zoria, Midoru and all of his 7 siblings made their way to where Miroku was.

"Shit! It's the Wind Tunnel!" Exclaimed Shippo.

"Oh my gosh! It's back!" Said Sango.

Well, there's chappy 9... sorry it took so long... I've been so busy with school, work and my other stories... I can't update as often anymore... my writing is killing my grades, and I have to cut down, or else I'll end up failing all my courses. (Smiles) by the way, if you don't review, Miroku's wind tunnel will suck you up! Muaha!
