Two Worlds Become One

2: Secrets

The child made no move to get around Inuyasha. She just sat down cross-legged waiting for something to happen.

By that time the others, except for Shippou, had come over. Shippou was both scared and curious about her. The child noticed this and beckoned him over. When he got the courage to go over she gave him an understanding smile. That made him smile, too.

The group had made a semicircle around her. They were all ready to ask her questions. But it was the child who spoke first.

"Hi, my name's Mirrim. What are your names?" she asked in a soft voice.

"I'm Kagome, and this is Sango, Miroku, Shippou, Kirara, and Inuyasha," kagome said pointing to each one as she said their names.

Everyone said hi and Kirara gave a meow, but Inuyasha just gave a "feh" and looked away.

"So, Mirrim, why were you singing and why are you in this clearing? There isn't a village for miles," kagome said.

"Because I like doing it and being here," Mirrim answered.

"Mirrim-chan, may I ask you something?" Sango asked.

"Sure."

"Who are your parents?"(a personal question, I know)

"My mother, Lessa, is the Lady of Life & Light Keep, and is also the Lairwomen of Life & Light Lair. My father, Sesshoumaru, is the Great Lord of the Western Lands," Mirrim answered with pride.

Everyone was speechless, except for Inuyasha; he just fainted with a shocked look on his face. Mirrim broke out into a fit of giggles.

"Are you serious? Sesshoumaru is evil. How can he have a daughter? This doesn't make sense. But you do look like him." Kagome said to herself franticly.

"Mirrim, you are not full demon. You are not human. So what are you exactly?" Miroku asked.

"All I can say is I belong nowhere," Mirrim replied.

"What do you mean?" Sango asked.

"I cannot tell you anything. I don't do human. I go places where it is away from the things that I knew so that I can learn. I will go back home once I'm ready. You need not know anything that does not concern you. I do what I will alone," with that said she got up turned around and ran out of the clearing because she heard a whistle calling her in the direction of the Western Lands.
