[Time to mix things up! Last chapter was calm compared to the whole story...let's get dark...]
I was standing at the door again. The door I had come across a few times. That one woman dwells inside here...I knocked to see if i could come in. The doors just opened slowly, and to my surprise I actually came across a small town. How strange. Maybe Sesshomaru abandon me again. I walked into the town and just looked around. I walked for a while when I came across some kids throwing rocks at another kid. I ran up to the small crowd to stop it.
"Hey! Cut that out! That is not fair!" I yelled at them, but they didn't stop. All at once thought, a woman with long blonde hair came to the crowd and shielded the child. I Was surprised, because the kids didn't stop until a few adults came to their rescue. The crowd disburses without even a word and the woman looks down to the child. The child looked really familiar, I couldn't place her. Anyways I went to turn and look at the village and I was all of a sudden in a different location. It was night time and I was in the child's room. She was just staring out the window as noises came from the room next to her. They were "sexual" and I was turning red just standing there. "What is going on? Honey...you don't need to hear this kinda thing.." I said as I walked up to the girl. I tried to place my hand on her shoulder but it phased through it. I withdrew my hand quickly. What was going on? Was I asleep? Was this one of those dreams you always see on those after school specials? What was the moral? Share? I was just confused but before I had time to say anything I found myself in the woods on my knees. I looked around, it was also familiar. I had seen this before and before i could think I saw the same girl, but a little older maybe? She was walking into the woods with a basket and a small scythe. I assume she was sent to gather wood when yet again a man called out to her. She turned to see the man speak to her. Wait...this was...was I having dejavu? I have seen this before.
"You are scum, and a monster...you must leave our village now!" the man said, he was holding a sword to his side. The girl's face was covered with her black hair as she spoke.
"I have no desire to leave this town..." she said as if it was forced. The man grew angry and gripped the sword with both hands.
"Then I have no choice but to destroy you..." he said seconds before he charged the girl. He had stabbed the girl in the chest. I was stood up in shock. I was paralyzed, what the hell? The girl stood silent before the man took his sword back. he stood there with fear in his eyes while the girl rose her scythe and swung at him. She had sliced him in half, covering herself in blood. I didn't know what to do. All I could do was stand there in a bit of a daze. The girl had moved her hair out of her face, also rubbing the blood on her face. That is when I saw it...it was me? That cannot be right...I was standing right here! I never killed anyone! The girl suddenly looked at me with a madness in her eyes.
"See this? This is us, we did this." She spoke. Was she really talking to me? I couldn't move to see if there was anyone else there. She began to walk toward me with her scythe ready, I could only take a step back. "Do not deny this, you might not remember this but you did do this...in fact, this is just the first of many. See, I am going back to the town, and I am going to kill everyone there..they have done nothing but bother me for my entire life. Now is my chance to show them." She stated as she paused and looked toward the town. She began to run that direction, but before I could stop her I found myself in the town. It was all on fire, collapsing around me. I looked down to see the scythe was in my hand, and the other covered in blood. I saw a small child come running out of a building and accidentally running into me. She looked up to me in fear, and I just smiled as I rose the scyhe above my head and sliced her...
I felt a light breeze move my hair out of my eyes. I also noticed I was moving. I woke up sitting next to Rin on the weird creature I had developed an odd connection too. My back was to his neck, and Rin sitting there behind me happily. I wish I could say that I was use to waking up in strange locations, but that is only half true. I turned to see that Sesshomaru was up and walking. That's good...right? I tried to look closer at him but...Jaken...He came up to me and glared at me.
"Finally woke up huh? It's about time!" he said folding his arms. I am beginning to think that is just his personality. I laid back on the animal.
"Yeah...so? Maybe I like sleeping...you should try it sometime, you might be less cranky." I told him. Jaken just puffed up as Rin laughed. I smiled a bit, then I remembered the dream I had had. That was just a nightmare. I am sure of it. There was no way all of that madness was real! There were to many holes in the overall thing. Before I noticed, we had entered a clearing with a small village in sight. Sesshomaru just walked toward the village.
"Lord Sesshomaru, are we staying in a human village now?" Rin asked. I was curious also, knowing his character we would be in the woods or something. He never looked back.
"This town has been abandoned for a while now...so it's not like there will be anyone else here..." he stated. Hmm, everything about an 'abandoned' village scream ghosts and junk, but I put the thought behind me for a while, maybe there will be actual beds! I swung myself around to where I could see the town. Hmm, it did seem familiar, but hey just about everything seemed familiar anymore. We rode into the town and looked around. No kidding when it was called abandoned, it didn't look like anything had lived there in years. I got off of the creature as did Rin and began to explore around a bit. The place a certain smell to it, it was gross. It smelled a bit musty and moldy. I walked up to a building that felt like I had entered it several times before. as I opened the door, it hit me. This town, it was the one in my dream. How could that be? No, I'm sure it is not! I looked around the town to see the spot that the kids were throwing rocks at the girl. No, it was just a coincidence! I very nervously looked around more, but decided to follow Rin. She had wondered into a hut near by. As I walked to the hut I could feel the familiarity of it yet again. I found Rin playing in what looked to be a bedroom. She was smiling and happily playing when she opened a door to show another room.
"Whoa! This place is small, but there is a big window in here!" she laughed. I just followed her to see it that in fact there was a huge window. The flashback hit me. I was here with that girl, looking at the sky. I just rushed out of the room and the hut and wondered into the town more. The debre was everywhere. My head was spinning. There is no way this town was THE town, or even if that town even existed. I felt someone watching me. When I looked around I saw Sesshomaru just watching me. Why? I couldn't breath...did he know something? I got fired up and came face to him.
"What the hell is this? What are you trying to pull?" I asked in an aggressive manner. Jaken heard me and jumped in my way.
"What do you think you are doing? No one yells at Lord Sesshomaru!" He yelled to me. I was so frustrated I raised my hand to hit him, that's when another flashback hit. The little girl in the village that I...My eyes widened when I saw what I was doing. I withdrew and turned away from the two of them. I quickly ran into a building and shut the door behind me. I leaned against the door to keep people out and slid to my knees. So, I was in literal hell. Real or not, no one should have to live in those memories. I tucked my head into my knees, wishing all of this would go away.
"I am sorry you had to remember it all like this..." a voice said. It was that woman that had been talking to me. I just staying the way I was. "But, you had to remember sometime..." she said, this time I felt someone touch my shoulder. I looked up to see a blonde woman, the blonde from my dreams, rubbing me. I jumped and back off a bit. She just gave me a calm, warm look.
"What is going on?" was an understatement, but it was the only words that made sense to me at the moment. She just sat next to me.
"You won't understand everything right now, and I do not expect you to accept it right away, but trust me when I say it will be alright as long as you are calm...we do not want a repeat of that day do we?" she asked. I just looked at her, tears swelling in my eyes.
"I don't understand...I don't want to understand..I just want to go home..." I said when the tears started to roll down my face. She just reached to me.
"Shh, it is alright, it is going to be alright" she tried to comfort me. I felt someone knocking on the door behind me and she disappeared. I didn't want to open the door, so I just sat there until the knocking stopped. Rin must be worried, I suppose I should at least let them know I am ok. I stood up and then just opeend the door a crack. To my surprise, Sesshomaru was waiting at the door. I just looked up at him.
"...I am sorry, I just need to be alone for a bit..." I said to him. His face tensed up a little.
"I do not think that is wise...and I won't allow it..." he said, forcing himself into the hut. I was shocked and a bit frustrated. He didn't respect my wishes, how rude. He went and sat himself against the wall across from where I was standing. I was about to just storm out of the hut when Jaken and Rin cut me off at the door. How annoying, I just want to be alone to straighten out my head and NOW everyone comes to bother me. I looked back to Sesshomaru and gave him a very angry glare. He could stop me from leaving the hut, but not the room. I quickly stormed into the next room and closed the sliding door behind me. I was actually surprised that some of this town was still well built after the...fire.
