How could she have suddenly changed? Sota thought as he ran. He tripped and fell on his face, which gave Sasha the opportunity to strike. She lashed out her claws, but Sota rolled over and she only cut him deep enough to let out the 'treasure.'
A deep blue jewel covered in blood rolled onto the ground. "It's mine!" Sasha cried. A voice cried out, "Beads of Segregation!" A necklace of beads wound around Sasha as she walked towards the jewel. "What the hell are these?" Sasha cried. An old woman in her 90's walked up. "Child, ye must get the jewel and use the word to calm her spirit!" "What? What word?" Sota cried. He picked up the jewel and ran.
"Bad! Um… stay!" Sota cried as Sasha ran after him. "Sit!" He yelled frantically. Sasha plummeted to the ground about 5 inches into the dirt. Sasha got up and said, "Damn it! The same trick fooled my father! You old hag! Why I otta…" Sasha started to walk towards the old lady. "The word, please," she said. "Sit," Sota said. Sasha plummeted to the ground, only not as hard as before. "Damn it!" Sasha exclaimed.
They walked into a village not far from the woods. They passed a few huts and then went into a larger one. "Hello, me name's Lady Kaede. What's yours?" Kaede said. "M-my name's Sota. Um… where am I? Are we still in Japan?" Sota said. Kaede chuckled. "Yes, child. Did ye come from the well?" "Yes, I did. What do you mean, come from?"
"Well," Kaede said clearing her throat, "certain people can go through the well. A young lass, Kagome, could do the same. Kagome was Sasha's mother before she and InuYasha, Sasha's father, disappeared. InuYasha could also travel through the well to get Kagome. He had a bad temper and was arrogant like Sasha. I don't know where Sasha got the name 'old hag' but that was what InuYasha called me."
"What is this?" Sota asked, pointing to the blue jewel. "Ah, that is the Blue Jewel. Otherwise known as the 'Heaven's Jewel', it can grant your wish. Now, let me tend to your wound and you tell me how you got here," Kaede explained.
"Well, me and my little sister were fighting, and she pushed me into the well," Sota said. "How old are ye, and how old is ye sister?" Kaede asked. "Yuri is 8 and I'm 17," Sota said, embarrassed. Sasha burst out laughing. When she finally stopped, she said, "I always knew girls were stronger than guys, but you're pathetic!" Sota's face flushed with anger. "Hey! I would have pushed her in first if I would've pushed her harder!" Sota said. Sasha just smiled.
Sasha got up after a while and walked towards the door. "Hey! Where are you going?" Sota asked. "Why would you care? For your information, I'm going to wash off my kimono. Red doesn't really go with orange, especially when it's spattered all over the place," Sasha retorted. "Come, child. While Sasha washes herself, I'll tell you more," Kaede said.
When Sasha was far enough away, Kaede said, "You see, Sasha is a mere half-demon. She wants the Heaven's jewel to become a full fledge demon. Her mother and father were also half-demon before they disappeared. Some say that the power of the pink jewel- or Sacred Jewel- made them vanish. Others think that Naraku, a cruel and evil half-demon, killed them in battle along with Sango and Miroku, their companions. Sasha believes that they are alive, just captured by Naraku. Sango had a two-tailed cat demon named Kirara. Kirara would transform into a huge cat to carry Sango and Miroku. Maybe even Shippo, the young kitsune fox." Sota listened and made sure he memorized all of that info.
Later that day, when it was darker, Sasha was sitting in a tree and Sota was on the ground. When Sota got up, Sasha said, "Where do you think you're going?" "I'm going home. I need to go to that well and get back to my dad, sister, and grandma," Sota said. By the time Sota had finished, Sasha was standing in front of him with her hand out. "What?" Sota asked. "The jewel!" Sasha said. Sota rolled his eyes and pushed past her towards the well. Man she's so arrogant! Sota thought.
When he was almost to the well a giant crow with 3 eyes swooped down and took the jewel. "Oh no!" Sota cried. Luckily Sasha was following him planning to take the jewel as he hopped into the well.
"You idiot! It swallowed the blue jewel! Damn you, Sota!" Sasha yelled, picking him up. She picked up a bow and arrows and handed them to Sota. "What am I supposed to do with these?" he asked. "What do ya think? Shoot it at the crow!" Sota aimed at the crow and let it fly. He missed. He notched another arrow and aimed carefully. He let it fly and this time he had perfect aim. Too perfect.
Like it? I did. Please review! I haven't been making them that long because it looks shorter on the Internet than it does on the WordPad. Way shorter! - Kittenkode
