Hanyou-Half Demon
Baka- Idiot
'Thinking'
YELLING
~Strangers like ME?! Yeah, right~
Chapter 3: You're ALIVE?!
To say that Leah was shocked would be the understatement of the year.
'What in the
HELL!? I thought Sango died with the rest of the village!'
Naraku,
sensing the young Hanyou's distraction, used the opportunity to
break free from her vice-like grasp that had loosened momentarily.
Naraku's miasma started to thicken, obscuring his figure. Before he completely dissipated, she heard his warning;
"We will meet again, half-breed. Next time, you will not be so lucky."
Leah let loose a low growl of frustration, before remembering the still shocked Demon Slayer next to her. Leah stood up cautiously, too afraid to believe her eyes.
"Sango? Is that really you?" She whispered.
The girl nodded her head mutely in response, her eyes glassing over with tears of happiness, which Leah mistook for tears of sadness.
'Of course she's sad, baka! Her inner voice said. 'You were like her sister! And you just LEAVE?'
'It was for her own good! She growled back to herself, feeling extremely foolish for conversing with herself, whether it was in her head or not.
'No one would have accepted her, the moment they saw ME! I didn't want her to become an outcast as well!'
'…'
'Your ignoring me?! Get back here! I'm not through with you!'
'…'
'Grrrr.'
'Baka.'
'HEY!'
'Quit being an idiot and apologize to her!'
'Fine!'
'And talk to dog boy over there, he's cute, AND he's looking at you!'
'Ok, I'm done with you! Goodbye now!'
Before Leah had a chance to apologize however, she was pulled into a bear hug that completely knocked the wind out of her.
"Sango…Can't…Breathe!" Leah managed to choke out.
"Oops! Sorry!" Sango apologized, quickly releasing her friend.
"It's okay…But…Don't you hate me…?" She replied, a little sadly, ducking her head down and tensing up, as if readying herself for rejection.
What she didn't except, was to hear Sango laughing, followed by a gentle bop to Leah's head.
"You baka!" Sango said, still chuckling. "Of COURSE I don't hate you! You're like my sister…with a tail!" Sango finished a teasing glint in her chocolate brown eyes.
"Hey!" Leah protested. "No bashing the tail!"
"What was that about with Naraku though?" Sango asked, all traces of humor gone.
Leah flinched inwardly. The mention of that bastard brought back memories of…the day.
WHOA! FLASHBACK TIME!
An unearthly silence filled the air, which was heavy with the smell of death. A young girl with dog-like ears atop her head surveyed the gory scene before her, her face emotionless, her eyes betraying none of the extreme rage and anxiety she felt inside.
She would NOT cry. She would never give the bastard the satisfaction.
Leah walked carefully through the bodies, cringing, unable to stop that small emotion to pass through. She prayed to Kami they were not here. That he had not found them. If he had…Kami help him when she found him. She thought grimly. Her worst fears were confirmed when she came to the edge of the battlefield, seeing the lifeless bodies of the only two people she had left.
The grief took over, controlling her body, as she fell to her knees beside them, tears streaming down her face, and her shoulders wracking with silent sobs of anguish. When she had cried herself out, she knelt over the two, grasping her hands together and praying for their safe passage to the after life. When this was done, She had given them, and the rest of the poor souls lost to Naraku's wrath a proper burial.
Laying Akina's katana by her headstone, and Rokuro's sword alongside it, She stood up. She took one last look at the graves of the people she loved, and vanished, making a silent vow to herself.
'You WILL die for this, Naraku. I will make sure of that.'
END FLASHBACK
Leah looked up, unspoken pain shining through them.
Shaking her head, Leah said in a hard determined voice,
"I have a score to settle with Naraku. He WILL die by my hands."
Sango gaped at her long-time friend, and un-related sister.
'What has he done to her…?' She wondered in sadness.
Shaking it off, Sango gave her a smile.
"Well, Come on! You need to meet everyone!" She said, dragging a protesting miko towards the strange group of shard hunters.
"You know Kirara of course." Sango said, as Kirara came up, recognizing Leah's scent and mewing in greeting.
"The little kitzune is Shippo, and the girl in green is Kagome." She said, pointing to each in turn.
Before she could get any further, a monk in blue robes had come up to Lea, a lecherous grin on his face, and proceeded to grasp her hands.
"Would you do me the honor of bearing my children?"
SLAP! BOOM!
"HENTAI!" The three girls shouted in unison, as the monk slid to the earth unconscious. Sango had hit him in the head with her hiraikotsu, and Leah had slapped him hard across the face.
Sango sighed, and returned to her introductions.
"The perverted monk is Miroku."
"Is he ALWAYS like this?" Leah asked incredulously.
"Yup."
"Wow…"
"Yeah."
A "feh" could be heard from a Red and white clad Inu-Hanyou near the back, and Sango turned towards him.
"I almost forgot! The grumpy Hanyou's Inuyasha."
"Hey!" Inuyasha yelled in indignation.
Ignoring him, Sango said, "Everyone, this is Leah. She lived with us in the Slayers village when we were younger, she is like my sister. She's a Miko-Hanyou."
Three pairs of eyes widened at this.
"Nani? How is that even possible?" Kagome asked confusedly.
"My mom was a miko, my dad was and Inu-Youkai." Leah said simply.
"Anyway!" Sango said, clapping her hands together. "Inuyasha, Leah will travel with us now, ne?"
"Feh, Whatever. She better not get in the way though! I don't need another Kagome to chase after all the time…" He grumbled.
Leah growled at him in irritation.
"Yeah, like im not gonna have to save YOUR sorry ass all the time!" She cried in indignation.
"Shut up wench!" Inuyasha snarled
"Make me…PUP!"
"Bitch."
"Jerk."
"BAKA!"
" FLEABAG!"
"SHUT UP!" Sango roared, causing the two Hanyou's to pause.
"You two are worse than Inuyasha and Kagome are!" She said in amazement and frustration.
"Whatever, Let's go, we need to find more shards." Inuyasha muttered.
The rest of the group followed him, and Leah sped by him as she muttered a singled word.
"Baka."
"HEY!"
Sango sighed. It would be a long day.
