Mokona walked home from school. She walks all alone, and as she had enough, Mokona takes a rest occasionally.
"Huh?"
She suddenly sensed Modoki around. Mokona shrugged her minds off her, and she ran home.
'I'm home!"
"Hey you're home, honey."
"Mom, isn't dad was supposed to be working today, na no?"
"He had a day off."
Hideki was constantly changing the channels until he stopped in a rerun of yesterdays' Asian Cup soccer match between Malaysia and Singapore.
"Go and take a bath, honey. We're having a special lunch today."
"R-really?"
"Yep. Your favorite pancakes."
Mokona jumped on to a chair at the dining table, waiting for her pancakes. As she waited, the two-tailed fox dozed off. Amar just came home with Sakura for the next monthly test, when he saw Mokona sleeping on the dining table.
"Mokona."
No answer. To wake her up, he tickled Mokona at her ears with his hair. The two-tailed fox woke up with a jumpstart, accidentally elbowing Amar Ma'aruf at his chest. He fell off with the chair and then both ended up on the floor with a loud slamming noise of a teak chair colliding with the tiled floor below.
"Oops! Gomen nasai, Inu-no-nii-chan!!!"
"its okay, Mokona. Nothing serious, really."
Mokona's face was so adorable when she feels guilty.
Right after she's done with the pancakes, Mokona jumped into the well, unnoticed by Amar Ma'aruf.
Feudal Era
"Hello, is anybody home?" She asked.
"Ah, it's you Mokona. Inuyasha and the others had gone traveling."
"Well, if they're away, I might as well find them. Don't worry, Lady Kaede… I can fly."
"If that's the case, you must find them before it gets dark."
"Okay!"
She went to the compound and then she starts rotating her tails like a helicopter. Seconds later, she's few feet off the ground.
With her senses, she could pinpoint Inuyasha's location. She landed at the place Inuyasha and his group was having a break.
"Hi, everyone!"
"Mokona-chan!" Shippo beamed, looking at the Kitsune hanyou.
A little while later, Inuyasha said that she must protect herself when danger comes. Mokona knew defensive tactics so he showed Inuyasha her best technique so far; the Iron Tail. She whipped the tree, snapping it in half. The tree came crashing to the ground, with Mokona feeling victorious.
However, Kagome noticed that something rather… wrong at the moment. Mokona now rarely end her sentences by 'na no' but she starts her conversation with 'na ne". It would seem rather weird, for Kagome as she was referring to Mokona drastic personality change. She started to get active all in a sudden.
"Nothing to worry about me, Kagome-chan."
"Huh?" Kagome started to look confused.
Mokona smiled a bit.
"Na ne, Kagome-nee-chan, I can read minds, remember?"
"I didn't know that."
"It's okay."
The next day, Mokona is busy playing with Shippo, and she brings along a top and some toys that is similar to Shippo's.
Also, she showed Shippo her talent in top crossing, as she duplicated another top out of hers. She spun the top, and she showed Shippo the tactics of crossing a top.
"Did you usually play this at your time, Mokona-chan?"
"Na ne, I usually play with the boys after their silat trainings." She said." I sometimes win, and the match was very fun you know."
"You broke another person's tops?"
"Na ne, yes. We will make new and better ones after that, and everyone has an equal chance of winning."
Inuyasha looked at Kagome, who was looking at the young couple with a happy-looking face.
"They are so cute together!"
"What do I care…"
Yep. The couple loved to play top crossing with each other. However, unknown by them is that Naraku is planning to do something with Mokona. He had a plan… a very bad one. And it may involve Mokona's impending death…
