Chapter 2

Dreams and Sango's Competitors

In a minute I recovered myself and I promised Amaya not to tell that she liked Sesshoumaru. However when I went to bed, I wasn't worried about that. I was more worried about my dream. That old hag, why did she always warn me about this jeweled mirror? What could be wrong with it? Why did I have to punch it? What could be wrong with a jeweled mirror I got? Could it be a curse? Ugh. I hate it when I don't know an answer to a question. And look how many questions that I can't answer!

I decided that maybe my past was the reason. I didn't want to think about my past. Too many horrible memories. But I figured if it stopped these dreams it was worth it. So I wrote down everything I could remember.

My mom died in childbirth. I wonder what she was like. I know she must have been better than my stepmother. My stepmother is about as nice as Naraku. The worst part was that I lived alone with my stepmother for most of my life. My dad committed suicide when I was four. I understand my dad for realizing how evil my stepmother, but I still have a hard time accepting the fact that he doesn't care about me at all.

Living with my stepmother was like living in hll. I was forced to work washing plates and carrying heavy packages. It was a horrible experience. I'd rather die than face it again. Then when I was eight, I became a waitress there. That wasn't exactly heaven either. Finally, when I was eleven I ran away to a village where I met all my friends. But first I must give you there stories.

Amaya was an orphan all her life too. However, unlike me, she became an assassin at seven. She must have killed at least five hundred people by now, not to mention youkai. She came to the village when I was fifteen, she was sixteen then. There she stopped her assassinations. Well most of them. After all, what can you expect from a full youkai?

Yunee's parents are still alive. She still lives with them. She lived a perfectly normal childhood. Like Amaya, she's seventeen now while Cynthia and I are only sixteen. She also tried to join the Holy Scholars but they didn't let her. She would be the only girl and they take their shirts off when they do push ups. Well that's okay, she's our genius! Oh, and Cynthia transported herself from China to here with a wrong spell. She can't figure out how to get back, but she doesn't really care.

Our village was burned down by Naraku. Go figure. I knew Amaya shouldn't have kept her shard. The Holy Scholars are from our village, and so are many other people like Prince Michael, Janki, etc. (Authors note: Anyone not from the show is from the village ). So basically that's the long story behind everything.

The next day I didn't tell anyone about this dream (as usual). We were too busy trying to keep Inuyasha (or any other youkai) away from us.

"Cynthia, can you put a barrier around this area?" Yunee asked.

"No, they'll break through it."

"You know what we need, we need to hurt them really bad like Sesshoumaru." Then it hit me.

"Why of course!" I exclaimed. "We can ask The Three Tajiyas to help us! They're all really strong ."

"Yeah, they should work to keep out some of the youkai, maybe not Inuyasha or Sesshoumaru, but the ones that will waste our energy." Amaya said.

"They should kill Arrfat." Cynthia said. We laughed. Arrfat was this super stupid, disgusting, annoying guy that everyone hated. He never hurt anyone because he's too weak to hurt anyone. We all reckon he's a lesbian.

"So just kill the first strong youkai you see," I told Vy. Vy was of normal height, but she was extremely strong and she was very tomboyish (she was wearing baggy dark navy capriis and a black shirt).

"Okay whatever." Vy said annoyed. Then she turned to look at Allie, a girl shorter than Cynthia, with a normal black suit except for the fact it was sleeveless, and Kim, a tall (she's taller than Amaya!) girl with a totally normal black suit with pink lining and she had a pink flower in her hair .

"Why can't you kill one yourself?" Allie asked. We pointed at Cynthia.

"Oh," Kim said. Than they left.

Melanie kept on talking. I still don't get why she couldn't kill all the youkai herself. She's the one with the magic powers.

Yeah, so we were just walking in the forest. Yup, just Allie, Kim, and I, Vy. I was starting to wonder when we would ever met a strong youkai, when we finally saw something. It was a group of people, 3 humans, 2 animal youkai, and one half youkai. I guess that works as youkai.

"Should we get them?" Allie asked.

"There are some humans with them," Kim pointed out.

"Yeah, well they're obviously stupid so let's just kill them," I said lazily. Then Allie jumped into the trees while Kim and I hid behind trees. Unfortunately, Kim sneezed two seconds later which kind of gave away that someone was spying on them.

"Hey, what's up," I said casually when they looked behind the trees and found us.

Ignoring me, the half youkai asked "Why were you exterminators spying on us?"

"Oh my gosh, it's not like we were stalking you or anything," Kim complained.

"Hey Vy," Allie called. "I think that one over there she pointed to the half youkai is Inuyasha."

"So why are you exterminators here?" asked Inuyasha for like the millionth time.

"Oh I heard of you," I said. "Someone here was stalked by Cynthia…."

"You know Cynthia?" asked a girl who was also an exterminator.

"Oh I don't know, what do you think Smart One?" I asked sarcastically.

"Well, it looks as if we're going to have to set you straight," Inuyasha said.

"Look who's talking."

Inuyasha drew his sword and attacked me, I jumped up but then I got hit by the big boomerang. Kim and Allie had similar tragedies.

"Aren't you going to give up yet?" Inuyasha asked.

"What do you think?" I asked.

"Why you…." He muttered.

"Duh smart one," I snapped, "Look I love you, now give me the shards and die." Everyone just stared at me.

"Oh my god, it's just an expression," I said after a minute.

"Oh so you want the shards," Inuyasha said stupidly.

"Well duh, Smart One," I snapped.

"Look Vy," Allie said "We need help."

"Did someone say help?" Dennis said as he and his fellow scholars popped up.

"Oh no," Allie said "It's Dennis Barong, who wears a thong, and a Billabong. He plays ping pong, he can't even beat Donkey Kong, he ran into a gong, and he's always wrong, yup that's Dennis Barong." Kim and I snickered.

"Well, leave it up to us," said Dennis. He let out some gas, and we ran for it. Inuyasha's group was still alive and well though.

I can't believe those idiots attacked Inuyasha's group. Couldn't they tell that the group was strong from our story? I guess not. At least not from their story.

"Oh my gosh Melanie, you almost got us killed!" Vy yelled after her trip. They all returned very bruised , bloodstained, and the Holy Scholars was with them to top it all off.

"Well who did you attack?"

"Inuyasha's group."

"Couldn't you tell that they were too strong?"

"Uh….no."

"Gawd!" Cynthia said finally joining in a conversation for once.

"Aww….sht, I knew we should have told them not to attack Inuyasha's group," Yunee said. We all looked at her.

"Did you just say a curse word?" Yunee who obviously didn't realize she said it, hit her head, and then said "Ow!" from hitting her head too hard.

"You know, you're not supposed to injure yourself while doing it," Vy said.

"Looks like we're on our own to stop them from killing Cynthia. Maybe we can get an alliance with them," I told Amaya.

"Obviously," she replied.

Okes, Inuyasha Sango, Sesshoumaru and anyone else from the show and manga belong to Rumiko Takashki, Shouen Sunday, Viz, etc. Melanie belongs to Amanda, Amaya to Alison, Yunee to Yunee, Cynthia to Alison and Amanda, and everyone else, me. Thanks for being inspirations Dennis, Vyvy, Allison, and Kimia! BTW, the means change point of view, so that last was Vy's point of view and when it got back to it was mine again. Chow!
