So I was thinking of bringing the other arcobaleno in, I already have a probable way for them to come to the feudal era.

Coordinates: Kaede's village

Era: Feudal era

Location: Kaede's house

Characters: Kaede, Fon, Lichi

Viewpoint: Kaede

Scenario: Kaede explains Fon's connection to Kikyo

"I see ye know some medicine despite ye age." Kaede commented mildly. While it was spoken in a calm tone, Kaede was trying to figure her out. The child hadn't said much to begin with, yet she was clearly the reincarnation of her late sister.

"Hmm." The child, probably two at the most, hummed in agreement towards the observation as she applied ointment to her own wounds. Kaede found her gaze drawn to the jewel hung around the child's neck, right above the pacifier. Could she really leave it's care to the child at such a young age?

No. It didn't even warrant thinking about. Why must Kikyo be cursed so?

"Ye realize that now that the jewel is back, ye will see countless more demons. Ones even worse than Mistress Centipede." She commented calmly, trying to get the girl to back out of the task. Kaede was confident she could handle it, at least until the child grew older.

"Another thing to protect then." Kaede couldn't help narrowing her single eye. 'Another'? What had the child gotten up to before arriving at the village? How did she move so gracefully at her young age?

Silence reigned as the child finished applying ointment, Kaede being reasonably surprised at how proficiently she had, and the two began eating.

"What is ye name child?" Kaede asked after a moment. The child turned her brown eyes to regard her curiously from behind her bowl for a moment. Had Kaede been a lesser woman she might have fidgeted under the curiously scrutinizing gaze. One that her sister had held so commonly.

"Ah, In the excitement I seem to have forgotten to introduce myself. My apologies. I am Fon and this is my partner Lichi." She stated as she sat down her bowl and gestured to the monkey sitting beside her, mimicking her exact pose.

"Am I correct in assuming that ye name means 'wind'?" Kaede asked in curiosity as she offered another bowl to the child. She was a growing girl after all.

"Presicely. I am certain you and many other demons will find it difficult to catch me." The child, Fon, stated as she politely waved off Kaede's offered food in favor of holding out a handful of nuts for Lichi.

"Aye, but speed alone is not the answer to everything. Against Mistress Centipede ye were lucky, but there are other, smarter, demons out there who will seek the jewel." Kaede pressed slightly, even if she had her doubts on rather Fon was truly lucky or not. Said infant gave her a knowing smile as she responded.

"Perhaps." Kaede let out a small sigh.

"Ye must not be arrogant child. It is unbecoming of you." She began working on the fire as Fon turned another curious gaze on her, "The jewel of four souls was in your body. That alone is proof that ye are pure. Ye must keep that purity, so that ye may purify the jewel and eternally rid the world of it as my sister attempted before ye."

Taking a glance to see her reaction, Kaede noticed that Fon was now holding some kind of bun, likely one she brought with her from her homeland, as she kept her aloof gaze. Was she perhaps too young to understand despite her earlier victory?

"hmm, it could be an interesting challenge. Only one person has ever caught me before." Kaede could tell that there was more going through her mind, her smile still hinting at secrets that she could not possibly guess. How could a child so young possibly have such a complex mind? Was she perhaps not a child at all? No, the purifying salt would have revealed if she wasn't human. A powerful curse she'd never seen before perhaps? Possibly.

"I have noticed ye don't act ye age. Perhaps I should perform an exorcism?" She offered, choosing to address that problem and go from there. For the first time, Fon's gaze shined with something other than secrets as hope glimmered in her eyes for a moment before she frowned.

"I would like that very much, but I don't think it would be of any use. My curse doesn't exist in this time, much less a way to break it." She spoke softly, her voice quietly longing.

"So ye say, and yet there is always a way to break a curse. Exactly what is the nature of ye's?"

"That's the question isn't it?" Fon spoke, her sleeve coming up to hide her mouth as she didn't make eye contact. Kaede had never had a curse placed on her before, but she figured it must be a sensitive subject as Fon distracted herself with Lichi. Perhaps the curse had been placed on her recently? Something that turned her into a baby for whatever reason?

"Who was that on the tree?" Fon asked in an obvious attempt to change the topic after a moment to collect herself. Kaede let it go as she figured she wouldn't get information without giving some.

"That was Inuyasha. He is the half demon whom killed my sister, whom bound him to the tree in her final moments. He is one of those who seek the jewel." She stated neutrally as she turned to regard the cursed child, all the while trying to figure out the nature of the curse and a way to break it. Perhaps if she learned how the girl recieved the curse she could come up with something. The problem was that the child proved so elusive, both in the way she spoke and the way she handled Mistress Centipede.

"Interesting." This could be a problem. Kaede would have to keep the child in her sight. She would never be able to forgive herself if she failed to protect Kikyo's reincarnation, never mind that she was just a child of all things.

There was a moment of silence in which Fon finished her bun as Kaede tried to think of something that could dissuade the girl, or get her to speak more at all.

"If you insist, then I could get some assistance." Kaede gave a small start at the sudden proclamation, having not expected the child to be thinking about it.

"Ye must choose carefully child. Humans as well as demons will seek the jewel. Do not let ye self be deceived." She pressed slightly. Who would the child choose?
