She ran up to Sesshoumaru and inspected him. She stood on her tip toes since he was taller then her and looked at him. His golden eyes were expressionless but she loved how they made her feel warm, like the sun. Jakken, Sesshoumaru's toad demon minion, poked Maika.
"You're not supposed to do that!" he warned. Maika looked at him, not knowing what to do.
"Ok but I guess I can do this." She said, bopping Jakken hard on the head. He fell back and Maika finally noticed Rin behind Sesshoumaru. She bent down so they were face to face and looked at her. For some reason the little girl looked familiar.
"Hi!" Maika said. Rin blinked and then hid behind Sesshoumaru again. Maika shrugged and got up. Sesshoumaru turned to Rin and looked at her.
"What's wrong?" he asked her. Rin bit her lip and shrugged.
"I don't know. She seems familiar but…" she responded quietly. Maika pushed the dead demon and sat down, leaning against the tree.
"I travel a lot so maybe I met her before." She explained. She grabbed the backpack that was on her shoulder and zipped it open, taking out some chocolate. Kagome looked at Maika.
"So…just where are you from? You seem to be from the future but you also look like you're from the era." She said. Maika looked up at her and set the chocolate down.
"Well you see it's like this. My dad's a demon and my mom's a human. She's from the future so when they separated two years ago she went back. So now I travel back and forth." She answered. She picked it back up and broke it into eight pieces. She set it down on a napkin and took a piece.
"You guys are welcome to help yourselves." She said. She munched on her piece and waited for someone to get a piece. Kagome smiled a bit and sat down across her, picking up a piece and eating it. The rest slowly followed though Sesshoumaru stayed back. Rin carefully went up and took one, slowly eating it. She looked up thoughtfully and munched on the rest, deciding that the chocolate was good. When she was finished she poked Maika, making sure the girl was real. Maika looked back at her and poked her back. All of sudden she remembered.
It was another sunny day in her village. She had just come back from a visit with her mother in the future and she was welcomed by her father and friends. Maika smiled broadly at this and hugged them all.
"Hey! I have an idea! Why don't we have a picnic?" her best friend, Hatiaki, said. Maika nodded.
"Sounds great! Let me get some stuff!" she replied. She took her father's hand and they walked back to their house.
"So how was your visit with Nomashina?" he asked her. Maika nodded.
"Mom's doing great!" she said. Her father, Suskinohashi, nodded. They made it back to the house and Maika smiled whenshe saw a little girl with long brown hair. The little girl jumped in Maika's arms.
"You're back!" she said, joyfully. After the girl's parents had died Maika had taken her in. Today was the day Maika would adopt her as her daughter.
"Hai! How areyou doing?" Maika replied. The girl smiled and gave Maika a hug.
"Great now that you're back!" she said. Suskinohashipicked up the little girl and put her in her bed.
"You're supposed to be sleeping." He told her, referring to her nap. The little girl had been too excited to sleep the night before that Suskinohashi had to make sure she got some rest. The little girl whined.
"But I can't get to sleep!" she said, glumly. Maika smiled and walked to her, kneeling next to the bed.
"Mou hitomi tojite mou nemureba ii. Close your eyes and sleep." She told her, in Romaji. The door was busted open and Hatiaki was there, panicked. Maika turned.
"What is it? What's wrong?" she asked her friend. Hatiaki gasped for breath and answered.
"Naraku…he's…here." She said. The house then caught fire and Maika screamed. She was pushed away and then grabbed by Naraku while her little girl was knocked out hard. That little girl…was Rin.
Wow Naraku...actually came to do his own dirty work. Never thought I'd live to see the day lol. Well a little more suspense eh? See what happens next.
