Hiya! What's up? Nothing here…except that I threw cold, wet, and muddy mulch at the guy I like…but he started it…sort of…He didn't get wet and dirty like everyone else on the field trip…so my teacher told me to get him dirty…and I did so lovingly…I'm just lucky that he doesn't hold grudges like I do sometimes…he forgave me before I said that I was sorry…
Ok, onto important stuff…THANKS FOR ALL THE REVIEWS! WOOT! You guys are awesome! Oh! And to you wonderful reviewers who like to ask questions, the reason that Ms. H., Souta, and Grandpa can go through the well is so that they can remain with us as well, so that if we were to live in the feudal era permanently, they could still come to see us for the rest of their human natural lives…
Now, I have a special request of you all. I happen to be a fan of the authoress, Tamashi-no-Hikari. She has been getting few reviews lately, as well as some very undeserving mean flames that made her feel as though she and her work were unappreciated. She was going to stop her story right there and MAYBE leave a summary of the end so that her fans wouldn't be left hanging, but only if she got enough votes for it, (because why waste your time if no one cares?)
I, in a review, made her a deal that she took me up on. I said that she had to at least write one more regular chapter, and if she got seven or more reviews, she wasn't allowed to quit writing the story. If she DIDN'T get that many reviews, then she could just leave a summary ending at that time. In return for this last ditch save-the-story effort, (no matter the outcome,) I would personally review every single chapter of that story and the one that she is currently getting ready to start posting. I also promised to recommend her stories to all of you fine people.
I know that you will like her stories; I know I love them dearly. I am making it mandatory for all of my loyal reviewers to read and review to at least ONE of her stories. Please, it would make her day as well as mine. I have begun to fulfill my end of the bargain…and lol…if you DO participate in this, be sure to tell her that Hekele sent you! But really, please do this…it is a worthy cause…at least to me it is!
ONTO THE CHAPPIE!
Disclaimer: I own nothing but Hekele, Kachie, Lady Oyu, Kotaro, and all plot ideas…nothing more, and surely nothing less…
Painful…
Kachie stared at the ceiling of her hut in disbelief. Her parents wanted her to come home? Now? Why so soon? And why hadn't they called or written her first with the idea? Where would she go to school when she got back?
Then another question plagued her mind: did she want to go back?
…I like it here with the gang…I like Ms. H., Souta, and even Grandpa…I like how close and welcome they make me feel…I like how we never fight…I like the morning hugs…and aside from all that, I love it here, in the Feudal Era…I love Koga…I love traveling…I love being a demoness…I love the villages…I love the serenity and peace…I…don't miss being back home…at all…but if I were to leave here…I think my heart would break…I…don't want to go back…ever…she thought to herself, tears forming in her eyes. She thought more and more about what she would be leaving behind when she left Japan, and began to softly sob.
A sleeping Sango's elf-like ear twitched at the sad sounds as she opened her eyes. She sat up and stretched. It was morning, and Sango had slept surprisingly well. As she looked around the room, she saw her roommate, Kachie, already awake.
She looked a wreck. She appeared as though she hadn't seen a wink of sleep all night. Quite concerned, Sango walked over to her and sat at the edge of her cot.
"What is the matter Kachie? You seem quite distressed…" It was then that Sango could smell her tears and hear her sobs more clearly. She turned the girl to face her and was shocked to find that she was correct.
"Why are you crying? If you do not tell me, I will tell Koga, and you know he won't stop prying until he gets it out of you…" she said in a semi-threatening tone. Kachie sighed and looked Sango in the eye slowly before handing her an envelope. Curious, Sango opened it and began reading the letter inside.
At first she didn't understand much, the other era still confused her quite often, but once she read the second paragraph, most of the first clicked. Kachie's parents had made it so that Ms. H. could no longer have Kachie with her…they had terminated a sort of agreement…and they wanted Kachie home immediately.
"Oh…Kachie…I see now…" she said slowly, not bothering to read the rest. She didn't need to. She pulled Kachie into a big hug and stroked the upset girl's hair softly, not knowing what to say.
"I…I don't want to go back…I want to stay here…" she heard Kachie whisper quietly. Sango thought for a moment.
"Can you not tell this to your parents? Your time from your school is not up yet after all…" she asked hopefully. She felt Kachie shake her head.
"…I could always go to another school in my country…but I don't want to…I like it here…in Japan…in this era especially…If I went home…It may be years before I could come back…" she cried, becoming more distressed by the moment.
Sango continued to stroke her hair as she digested the information, "…But can you not still tell your parents how you feel?" Again, Kachie shook her head.
"…If they cared about how I felt, they would have told me sooner that they wanted me home…so we could talk about it first…do you realize that I haven't gotten one phone call or letter from them? EVER? I just did…I've written them a few times…but…" Kachie trailed off, thinking. Why haven't they written or called me? If they missed me so much…they'd at least have done that…at least a sensible person would…I can't believe I didn't realize the lack of contact sooner…I guess I felt so at home here that I just never noticed…she finished, new tears beginning to fall.
Sango sighed to herself and rocked Kachie gently, trying to think of something that she could say. She didn't want Kachie to leave either. Kachie was a very valued friend, and more family than mere acquaintance… "I don't know what to tell you…" she began honestly, "but I do think that you should try to converse with them if you feel so strongly about staying…"
Kachie sighed and nodded slightly. She let go of Sango and sniffled, "I guess I can try…but…what am I suppose to tell everyone? Ms. H. knows of course…but should I tell everyone else?"
Sango nodded, "Yes, you should…if you do end up having to leave us for a time, then they deserve to have a heads up…don't you think?" Kachie nodded slowly, looking at the floor.
"…When should I tell them?" she asked, wanting the older girl's advice. Sango thought about it and sighed.
"You should probably tell them all at once, and soon…" she said sadly. Kachie nodded again.
"Ok…"
An hour later; Lady Kaede's hut:
"WHAT?" Koga yelled, jumping up in disbelief. Kachie was sitting before everyone with Ms. H. and Sango standing behind her supportively. She had just told everyone about the letter, Ms. H. nodding in confirmation of everything.
Everyone was shocked.
Hekele looked down at her hands quietly, twisting the ring that Sesshoumaru had given her around her finger repeatedly. Kachie was her best friend, and even though she had known that at some point Kachie would have to leave Japan, but she had also assumed that it would be much later. Everyone could sense the tenseness in the room. Between Koga's mix of anger and sadness, and the confused sadness of everyone else, there was great reason for it. Why as for her back so suddenly?
Kachie cleared her throat, "I want you all to know something though…I don't want to go back, and I'm going to try to contact them and figure out what the hell is going on. I don't want to leave." This seemed to calm Koga slightly, but not much, and it didn't seem to comfort anyone else at all, least of all Hekele.
"I know how your parents are Kachie…they are very persistent…that's why you came here in the first place…because they were persistent in making sure that I was all right…but…I don't see why they would ask for you back so suddenly…and I don't see how we could convince them to allow you to stay here…" she said somberly, not allowing her hopes to rise. Koga growled low in his throat in response.
"Oh, some friend you are, quitting already! Why the hell would you quit before you even tried! Stupid wen-"
Sesshoumaru stood and was in Koga's face in seconds, "I do believe your words to be rather cruel and they are not appreciated. I understand your distress on the matter at hand but bullying someone is not the appropriate solution!" Koga snarled at him and Sesshoumaru returned the gesture.
"Enough you two! Koga! She wasn't quitting anything, she was stating that she didn't know how we would convince them to let me stay, and frankly, neither do I. However, it won't stop us from trying. Get out of her face about it!" Kachie yelled at him, displeased with his methods of venting.
Hekele nodded slowly, but she never looked up nor raised her voice, "…I won't quit anything…but like Kachie said, I don't know how to win at this situation. They will probably come to claim her themselves, and they will probably want to leave on the next flight out…our battle may end up being fought with her in their possession most of the time…" With these words she stood slowly and walked out of the hut. Rin stood and quickly followed her, wanting to make her feel better if she could. Sesshoumaru waited long enough to shoot Koga a threatening glare before following the two as well.
Kagome had been silent the entire time, as had everyone else, but chose to speak now, "…Maybe we should all just drop the subject for now and pick it up later…maybe we'll think of something during that time…I'm sure there's a solution to this…" Inuyasha and Shippo nodded slightly in agreement, as did Kanna, Kagura, Kohaku, Souta, and Miroku. Grandpa didn't move. He was too deep in thought.
Everyone quietly filed out of the hut. Kachie gave Koga a little glare before he made move to leave as well. At this time, Grandpa stood up and walked over to Kachie and his daughter, who had remained in the room. He sighed and embraced Kachie, surprising her greatly.
"…I do not know what the outcome of this will be…but either way, we will try our darndest to get you back…you are as much my grandchild as Kagome, Souta and Hekele. None of us will give you up without a fight," he said, releasing her. Tears formed in Kachie's eyes once more. Grandpa had never shown her that much affection before…
"…Thank you…" was all she could manage.
With Koga:
Koga walked around in the forest slowly, trying to quell his anger. How dare they try to take Kachie away from him? He knew that eventually she would have to leave, but he also knew that she would come back one day. He knew that he would have to prepare himself for her absence…but so soon? He wasn't ready for her to leave…and he doubted that he ever would be.
She's all that really matters…even when I 'loved' Kagome, I never felt this much pain at the thought of her absence…this is real… he thought to himself sadly. He sniffed the air when he felt a presence, but it was only Kachie. He turned to face her and sighed.
"…Isn't there anything that you know of that we could do? What if you just stayed here for a while? During the time that they came to get you? Ms. H. could say that you ran away or something…" he tried hopefully. Kachie only shook her head at him and quietly hugged him tightly.
"…It wouldn't work…because then she and Grandpa would get in trouble for letting me go…and then Souta, Kagome, and Hekele could potentially be taken away from them…and no police officer would buy that we all ran away…because then there would most likely been a reason for us to leave…the cops could think that maybe it would be best for us not to live there…and then it would cause even more troubles…there would be an investigation…and what if someone discovered the power of the well and found a way to use it? What would happen then? It's just best for us not to make such a bold move…it wouldn't work…" she said slowly.
Koga sighed and gripped her tightly. She was warm. It was because she was part fire demoness. Koga pulled her even tighter and nuzzled her hair. He sighed softly and pulled back away from her, looking her in the eye.
"I'm not letting anyone take you away from me…you got that? If I have to kick their asses myself, I'll not let them take you…" he said seriously. Kachie managed a smile. It seemed that no one would allow her to be taken…
The two jumped slightly when they saw a flash of lightning and heard a loud crash of thunder. The sky was turning dark quickly, but it wasn't a menacing storm…but a sad one.
"Hekele…she must really be taking this hard…I've never seen her emotions rule her power before…" Kachie said. Koga sighed.
"…You two are really tight, aren't you?" he asked, already knowing the answer.
Kachie nodded, "Back home, we were all the other had for the longest time…she was like my sister from day one…when she left, I was heart-broken…and when I came here, I healed. Now that I'll probably have to leave again, she's feeling the same way I did then…she's frustrated and sad, and since she doesn't know what to do, her power is letting out some of the frustration through this little storm…"
Koga shuddered, "…Just promise me that you'll never get this frustrated…I'd hate to see what would happen if you let loose…this forest might turn into a pile of ash…"
Kachie giggled a bit as they began to head back to the village, "I'll try to remember that…"
With Hekele:
Hekele sighed and turned away from Sesshoumaru once more. She really didn't want to talk about anything right then, and he had been persisting for the past half hour. It wasn't that she was upset with him, which seemed to be what he was perceiving, but that she was upset in general. Hekele let out another sigh as Sesshoumaru sat next to her on her cot.
"…I don't want to talk about it Sesshoumaru…I just want to be left alone right now…I need to figure out what to do about this…I do want to help…" she confessed. Sesshoumaru gave her a semi-concerned look.
"If you wish to be left to your thoughts, I understand…but I do not think that leaving you while you brood is the best course of action at this time…" he said.
Hekele growled, "And why not!"
Sesshoumaru sighed as he rubbed his temples, "…Because you are subconsciously allowing your powers loose, and I doubt that it will get better the longer you remain frustrated. The rain is beginning to pick up and I've seen lightning multiple times. Thank goodness it hasn't struck in the village yet…but it's getting closer…"
Hekele snapped her head up at the mention of this and looked out the window, only to discover that he was correct. She hadn't even noticed the thunder…
"Shit…I'm sorry…I wasn't even paying attention…" she said, closing her eyes. She willed herself to calm down as she took slow, deep breaths. After a few minutes of this, the rain ceased to be nothing more than a light drizzle. Hekele couldn't calm herself totally, and was a bit annoyed at the fact. As much as she liked the rain, she didn't like the idea of causing a disaster in the village just because she was upset about something that was probably out of her control…
Sesshoumaru allowed her to calm down before he spoke, "Being a half elemental demoness makes your powers more wild. Elements cannot be contained, only controlled to a degree. You must learn to be more aware of your limits of control and then to expand them…it may take time…I'm just thanking Kami that Kachie didn't feel actual malice towards her parents instead of confusion; this village might have burnt to ashes had she lost control…"
Hekele nodded slowly, understanding, "Yeah…I know…again, I'm sorry…" Sesshoumaru was about to speak again when Kachie came stumbling through the hut, soaked.
"Whew…whatever you did to clam her down, Sesshoumaru, good job…I nearly got hit by lightning a couple of times out there…" she said jokingly, shaking her head off, which annoyed Sesshoumaru greatly. Hekele's head snapped up in worry.
"Oh Kami…I'm so sorry Kachie…" she began, but Kachie only grinned.
"Jeez Hekele, can't you take a joke…It never even came close to hitting me…and that's saying something because I attract trouble, remember?" she said calmly.
Hekele sighed, "I don't get why I'm getting so worked up about this…I knew that you'd have to leave sooner or later…so why is it bugging me so much?"
Kachie sat on the other side of Hekele as she spoke, "…Probably for the same reason that I'm so upset over it…You've gotten used to me being here all the time…just like I'm used to being here…and you don't want me to leave any more than I want to leave. This place feels like home to me…more than with my own family…did you know that Grandpa actually hugged me back there? I mean, wow. In my family, hugs are about as common as puppy dogs and nice neighbors…in short, they practically don't exist. But like you, I thrive on that sort of affection. I feel like I belong here more than I do back home…and that's why I want to stay…"
Sesshoumaru, feeling as though he was extra baggage in the room, stood to leave, "If you require my presence, I will be in the Lady Kaede's hut…" He gave Kachie a slight nod and Hekele an encouraging smile…or rather, his version of one, and left the hut.
Kachie smiled, "Wow…he's perceptive…Koga wouldn't get the hint if you told him to leave…but then again, that's why I love him…"
Hekele smiled slightly and began twisting her ring again, needing to do something with her hands, "Yeah…but Sesshoumaru shows he cares in his own, not-so-naïve way…" Kachie noticed the ring at that time and her eyes got big.
"Where did you get that…it's gorgeous!" she said, grabbing her friend's hand and examining the object encircling it.
Hekele blushed, "…Um…it was Sesshoumaru's birthday gift for me…" Kachie's eyes got wider.
"Omigod! He gave this to you? Wow! And here I thought he'd get you a cd or something…wow…" she mused. Hekele gave her a very proud smile.
"It was his mother's…he found it in his palace a while back and when he found out that my birthday was coming up, he went back there to get it for me…" she said slowly, looking the ring over herself once more. Kachie's jaw dropped.
"Wow…talk about meaningful…that is so sweet!" she said, allowing her friend to take back her hand. Hekele nodded in agreement.
"Yep…that's what I think too…" she said. By this time, the drizzle outside had ceased, Hekele's frustration having been extinguished for the time. Hekele looked at her friend and smiled.
"How can you be so calm when you may very well have to leave all this behind for Kami knows how long?" she asked seriously. Kachie sighed and laid back on the bed, thinking.
"I don't know…I guess I just got all the worry out of my system…or maybe I'm bottling it all up subconsciously…who knows…" she said, not bothering to think too hard. Hekele smirked.
"Well, bottling it all up is bad…so let's hope it's just out of your system for now…" she said, looking outside and was happy that the clouds had dissipated as well.
Kachie sighed and just stared at the ceiling for a while, allowing her friend's presence to calm her inner thoughts. What if I can't ever come back? What if I never see them again? God…it'd kill me… she thought. Nah, I'm not going to let this worry me. If I'm worried, then the people around me will worry…speaking of which…I did sort of ditch Koga back there…hmmm… "Ummm, Hekele?" she asked. Hekele turned to her and cocked her head.
"Hmm? What is it?" she replied. Kachie fidgeted.
"…Are you ok now? I kind of ditched Koga back there…and it might be a good idea to get back to him…" she said slowly, not wanting to offend her friend. Hekele only smiled.
"No problem…I'm ok. Go spend time with lover boy before he comes looking for you…" she teased. Kachie growled slightly at the comment but gave her friend a small hug anyway.
"Thanks…I'll see you later! Promise!" she said, dashing out the door. Hekele smiled at her friend. She was feeling much better, and was quite reassured by Kachie's attitude. She stretched once more before pausing.
"How long have you been there Sesshoumaru? Yes, I can smell you…" she muttered that last part, sensing his confusion. She heard a chuckle from behind her.
"You are learning how to distinguish masked scents quite effectively I see…Kachie still has a way to go…" he said, appearing at the window. Hekele gave him a look.
"Well, you weren't really trying too hard…but I could still barely smell you…and again, how long were you there?" she asked.
"Long enough to know that all I have to do to improve your mood is to distract you. How simple…I should have thought of it," he said. Hekele glared at him.
"Jerk…that's not nice…and I'm not that simple minded…" she said, looking away from him.
Sesshoumaru walked around the hut and inside. He sat next to Hekele on the cot and sighed, "You and I both know that I know that you aren't simple minded in the least…and that's why I never thought of so simple a solution." Hekele grinned broadly, causing Sesshoumaru to look at her in a slightly confused manner.
"What?" he asked.
Hekele simply shook her head, "…I think Kachie and I are rubbing off on you…"
Sesshoumaru pretended to look offended, "Oh, really?"
Hekele nodded…and then smirked, "I have an evil idea…"
Sesshoumaru looked at her critically, "And that would be?"
Hekele's smirk broadened, "…Get the kids…ALL of them…"
With Koga:
Koga sighed as he sat in the hut. He had been relieved to see the storm dissipate, but was a bit sad that Kachie had yet to return. He had seen Sesshoumaru briefly, before the demon had abruptly turned around and headed in the direction that he had come in.
Stupid sneak…they'll figure him out… he had thought. A few more minutes had passed since then, and Koga couldn't help but get annoyed that Kachie hadn't come back yet. Suddenly, he had an idea.
Koga stood up and walked over to the door of the hut and leaned against the wall. After a minute or so, he could detect her scent heading in his direction. He grinned. She could detect his scent within the hut…but she couldn't tell where exactly he was…
"Koga? Where the hell are you? Oh come on! I just ditched Hekele to get back to you and- Yaaa!" Kachie screeched as Koga jumped out from his hiding spot and picked her up bridal-style, laughing all the while. He spun in a circle with her in his arms as she clung to him for dear life, not wanting to be dropped.
Koga stopped abruptly and just smiled at her, knowing full well that once he put her down he'd have to run for his life. His smiles broadened when he saw her smile as well, and begin to laugh.
"Koga…I am going to kill you for scaring me like that…but otherwise, it was really sweet…now, could you please put me down?" she asked in a sugar-sweet tone.
Koga smiled even more and spoke with the same sugary tone, "I don't think so love, I want to live through my early thousands at least…and I can't very well do that when the instant I put you down I get killed, now can I?"
Kachie rolled here eyes, "So what are you going to do, carry me forever?"
Koga grinned, "Well, I sure as hell can try, can't I? Besides, this way, we'd never be apart…" Kachie smiled at him lovingly and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"You're a charming one, I have to give you that, but quite frankly, this little scheme of yours wouldn't work…" she said. Koga furrowed his brow.
"And why not?" he asked.
Kachie hugged his neck tighter, "…Because you wouldn't be able to eat or play pranks on Inuyasha with me in your arms twenty-four seven…"
Koga thought about this for a moment before stealing a small kiss from her, "Nah, I'll live…I don't need food…Not tormenting Inuyasha might be hard though…"
Kachie nuzzled his face slightly, "…I don't think you've got your priorities quite straight, but it's sweet anyway…"
Koga stole another kiss and nuzzled her as well. He smiled at her and couldn't help but be lost in her laughing eyes. He rested his forehead on hers as he spoke, "I love you…"
Kachie smiled once more, "I love you t-"
FLASH!
The two stood there in shock, (well, one stood…) as they looked at the entrance to the hut. There were Souta, Rin, Shippo, Kanna, and Kohaku, staring at them like a deer in the headlights. Souta had a camera…
Kachie took a deep breath before speaking, "What are you doing with that camera?"
Souta gulped, why did he have to take the darn pictures? "Ummm, taking pictures of you guys for use of blackmail at a later date?" he said timidly
Koga growled, "This has Hekele and Sesshoumaru written all over it…the shrimp's even talking like them…"
Kachie was more concerned about something else, "Ummm, pictures? As in, plural?"
Rin nodded for Souta…he was frozen with fear, "Yup, but Souta-san accidentally forgot to turn off the flash for the last picture…"
Koga and Kachie looked at them in horror. "Ummm, I think it might be a good idea for you guys to give us that camera…" Koga said, slowly making his way to the children, Kachie still in his arms.
Shippo wasn't that dumb, "RUN FOR IT! PROTECT THE CAMERA!" With that, the clutter of kids split up and started running in all sorts of directions. Koga let Kachie down and the two began to chase Souta, which wasn't hard since he was human. Realizing that he had been targeted, Souta quickly threw the camera to Kohaku.
"And they're off! Souta runs with the camera, oh no! He's been targeted! He throws the camera to Kohaku…AND IT'S GOOD! Kohaku runs the camera to Rin, who tosses it to Kanna, who slips on the slippery snow, (ouch…sorry) BUT SHE THROWS IT TO SHIPPO! He has it, and is running for dear life! He transforms into a copy of Koga and get ahead. Oh wait! He lost it! He dodges one of Koga's kicks and goes flying chibi-style! He lands in the snow…and all I see is a hole! Wait! The camera comes catapulting out of the hole and over Koga's head! Kachie is moving for interception, but then she trips over Kohaku's foot! Nice one! The camera continues flying…Oh shit, DUCK KAGURA! Owww…that has got to hurt…Hey! She's smiling! It's good! She throws the camera…SHIT SHE THREW IT AT ME!" Hekele finished her commentary as she caught the camera. She shot a smirking Kagura, (who was also rubbing her head,) an evil glare and began to run for her life…
Kachie saw where Hekele was about to go and snuck behind one of the huts. When Hekele passed her…she pounced on her.
Hekele came crashing to the ground, still cradling the camera like it was a baby, and stared at Kachie with fearful eyes, "Ummm, it's not what you think…ok, it is…but I couldn't help it! You two were about to have a cute moment…I could feel it! And ha! I was right! And I got it all in pictures…Mwuahahahaha!"
By this time, most of the village come outside to see the show and were laughing at the current sight. Ms. H. and Grandpa were chuckling softly as well. Kagome was nursing Kagura's head, Inuyasha was fighting not to get hiccups, Sango and Miroku were standing next to Kohaku….(Sango appeared upset about something while Miroku was giving Kohaku a hi-5…probably for when he tripped Kachie…) and even the Lady Kaede was smiling at the sight. Sesshoumaru had decided that he wanted nothing to do with the prank and had elected to vanish from sight, but he was smirking from the shadows as well…
Kachie spoke to Hekele in a low growl, "…I am going to kill you…do you understand?"
Hekele smirked, "Fat chance…CATCH MOM!" Hekele tossed the camera to Ms. H. before Kachie could stop her. Ms. H. caught the camera and smiled at Kachie.
"Want to try to get it from me?" she asked, smiling still. Kachie growled a bit.
"That's low…you know I'd never come after you…you evil, evil woman…"
Ms. H.'s smile turned into a smirk, "I know…and that's why I'm going to have fun with the computer when we get back home…these should be rather cute…don't you think?"
Kagome stared at her mom in disbelief, "Wow…my mom has come to the dark side…" then she gave Inuyasha a side-glance, "Strong with this one, the force is…"
Inuyasha growled but said nothing.
Koga helped Kachie up and looked at her, "Was that a digital camera?"
Kachie sighed, "Afraid so…"
"Damn it…"
Somewhere else in Feudal Japan:
Lady Oyu stretched in her bed. She was much too weak to do anything for Kami knows how long…but she could still look in on what was happening…
"Kotaro…please bring the 'mirror' to this one…this one wishes to see what has happened thus far…" she said. Kotaro obediently came with the bowl of liquid. It had a spell cast upon it that allowed the looker to see anything they wished. He sat in the bed with her and placed it between them.
They could see Kachie crying and Sango comforting, as well as the mother crying on her own when know one was around. Hekele had caused a small storm, while Koga was full of buried rage. Though all were happy on the outside after their little 'game' of keep-away, they all still held anger, sorrow, and confusion deep inside.
After taking a close look at Kagome, Lady Oyu spoke once more, "Let us stimulate her. Send one of our allies to test her…Kagome is quite powerful…as a demon or a miko, and we must know her strengths in this time. This one will NOT be humiliated by her again…"
Kotaro left her side for a moment and walked over to a pile of crystals. He picked up a rather large one and gave it to Lady Oyu. After a second of thought, Lady Oyu touched the crystal to her lips and let it float away from her towards the village.
"Go servant…do your worst to that pathetic bitch…"
Me- The end…for now!
Kachie- Wow…we have lot's of fans…Shipporockz101 wants to use us in a
story too! Woot!
Me- Awesome! Go right ahead! Just let me know if you intend on killing us off
eventually…you know, just so we know…(same goes to Sakora…)
Kachie- Woot! We'd talk more, but Hekele's late for school…seriously! Run
Hekele!
Me- I am damn it! I'm running…Shit, the bus!
Kachie- This is why my dad drives me to school…Mwuahahaha…uh…R&R…
