In
the distance you can see flowers blooming where a tribe once stood.
Hills of burials where lay on the middle, centering a huge hill.
Walking over to the graves of her comrades, Geisha said a pray to let
them rest in peace. Trying to figure out which one is her parents'
grave, she circled the great lot that stood before her. The hill that
stood in the middle must had been the great chief, or her brother,
Kage. Who would have buried them?
Sesshomaru stood out of the way
for her to investigate what happen to her tribe. Almost into tears,
Geisha stood behind the hill, out of Sesshomaru's sight. Bringing
her hands up to her face, she cried softly to herself, she didn't
notice that someone stood before her.
"Well, what do you know;
there is one left from this tribe." A man with furs as his clothing
stood before her. Looking at him, she found it was Kouga, the Wolf
Prince of the Northern Mountains. "What is that you want, Kouga?"
She snapped at him.
"Oh, nothing much, I'm just seeing if
there was any one left from this pathetic tribe." Kouga laughed a
loud, so Sesshomaru can hear.
Growling at Kouga, Geisha stood up
to him. Her eyes covered in hatred at the sight of him. The anger
that boiled in her was soon release from her fist. Kouga didn't
notice that her fist where shaking until it was too late. A fist had
gone to his gut, with a mighty surge going through it. Falling to the
ground, Kouga got up and tired to run, but Geisha grabbed him in the
nick of time. Throwing him onto the Hill that stood before them; she
grabbed his neck.
"Never, ever, say my tribe was pathetic. I
may have lost some of them…with your idiot tribe when they went to
fight that…person at the palace." She glared into Kouga's eyes.
He stared back, with nothing to be concern.
"You are just a
little girl, how can you have such power? You bring thoughts of my
friend, Ayame. She was exactly like you; however, she never dared to
try to hurt me. I'm her fiancé." Kouga had a hard time
laughing this time. He throat was getting chocked by Geisha's
pressure hand; her grip kept getting tighter ever time he tried to
talk. Kouga thought to him self; I'm
good as died if she keeps this up.
Sesshomaru
came around the hill to see that Geisha was about to kill Kouga.
Commanding her off, she wondered to him, in a bit of ashamed of what
she did. Kouga got up and took off before even saying goodbye.
"Was
that necessary?" Sesshomaru asked.
"What?" Geisha
whispered.
"To attack the prince of the Northern tribe?"
Sesshomaru stated.
Geisha didn't look up, didn't speak, or
didn't breathe. She stood there looking at the ground with out
moving. The little girl, named Rin, came to Geisha and placed a hand
on hers. Geisha finally moved see the little girl's eye full of
concern. Smiling, Geisha looked up at Sesshomaru.
"No, it
wasn't necessary, but he disowned my people. I couldn't let him
do that." Geisha said.
Sesshomaru looked at her with a relief
look. The imp, named Jaken, soon came up and called out to
Sesshomaru.
"My Lord, we best be going. I believe that Kouga
figure will send us to the right place we want to go." Jaken looked
a bit impatient at the thought.
What is his deal, where is Sesshomaru bringing us?
Being shove Geisha was to walk beside Sesshomaru for the rest of the
day. Rin rode Ah-Uh behind them, with Jaken leading the two headed
dragon. As the walked, Geisha seemed to quiet even more than before.
Sesshomaru kept to himself about it, until they reached his
brother…InuYasha.
"Well, isn't it Sesshomaru. I thought you
went to the west land for a while?" InuYasha glared at his brother.
"I did, to find out that Naraku had hit that place and kills
the men that where working in the mountains." Sesshomaru just did
the same as InuYasha.
Geisha stood there paralyzed what she saw
behind InuYasha, two girls, a fox-demon, a two tail feline-demon, and
a Man were all there. Are
demons now combining their powers with humans? I just don't
understand…while young…humans never wanted to help demons.
In the same pose, InuYasha looked at Geisha, for who was still
shocked, and asked her a question. She didn't speak; she didn't
even hear the question.
"You girl, I asked you a question!"
InuYasha gazed bored onto her figure. A shiver slipped down her spin
as the wind started to pick up. Her hair blew and showed the star
that Sesshomaru interrogated her on. InuYasha saw it, but became
confused at it.
Oh
no, they have seen my mark! I must tell Sesshomaru!
Finally moving, she started to tug on Sesshomaru Kimono. He looked
down and her eyes where covered in panic. Grabbing her, he threw her
with Rin on Ah-Uh. Commanding Jaken to get on, he obeyed and they
flew to the sky.
"What was that all about?" The man behind
InuYasha asked.
"I don't know, but there was a mark on the
girl's neck. It looked like a star. What is she?" InuYasha went
into thought.
"Miroku, just leave InuYasha to thought, for now
we must keep going." One of the two girls spoke now.
"I know
Sango, but I also saw the star, and it seems that InuYasha's
brother is trying to hide it. What for though."
"Kagome…do
you know of anything about a star being behind someone's neck?"
Sango asked the girl next her.
"A little, supposedly, it is the
mark of great power of a goddess, usually only in humans. It was
never to be place on a demon. I'm surprise that girl…she looks
like a demon…has the star. It called the Mark of the Southern
Star." Kagome stated.
"Mark of the Southern Star?" All
three that thought.
"Yeah, well let's see here…in myths
that I was told, the Southern Star never showed it self until the
greatest beast a rise to this world. The Southern Star finally showed
for great mortal is to happen. Everyone thought there was only a
Northern Star to help in directions, but the Southern Star is
different. As I said, it was to warn people that great mortal was to
happen, great chaos. Only the one that bares the Southern Star behind
their neck is to defeat such mortality. That was supposedly said in
the Legends and Myths."
The lot looked at Kagome in silence, but
soon looked up at the sky to see were Sesshomaru and the girl
disappeared, all of them knowing that something was sure to happen
between that girl…
They
were far off from InuYasha and them, and Sesshomaru landed near a
field of wheat. Geisha jumped off Ah-uh and looked around, she was
slightly confused where they were off for she was dozing off
occasionally. Rin was having fun with the wolf's hair and had it
braided as she was dazing off. However, when they landed Geisha fell
of Ah-uh, but now she was fully awake.
"Where are we, Lord
Sesshomaru?" The girl walked over to him and notice where they
were. A great battle between the dog demons and panther; her father
had seen this place. Her father told her many stories of such a
place. She looked over to Sesshomaru in a wonder what could this
mean.
"This once was a great place, until the panther tribe came
and tried to destroy it. It has been 50 years since this land had
life on it, but it seems now…that it is coming back…slowly
though." He pointed toward one area and Geisha appeared at it. She
placed a hand on it and felt the pain the land was having.
Stiffening, the girl looked at Sesshomaru but soon at the dust that
roamed over the land.
How can such a place become like this? Why must things happen like
this…?
She
walked around looking at the area and let the breeze press against
her as she had her eyes closed. Visions of the terrible battle came
to her eyes as the Star on her back began to lightly glow. Sesshomaru
would just stand there and examine as it glowed. His heart leaped for
he knew that he had gathered the right person, but did he know that
Geisha was a wolf demon, that was the part that bothered him the
most. Looking toward the girl's precious body, he could tell that
she was not even strong.
"Geisha…lets get going."
Sesshomaru began to walk away as Geisha took a hold of Ah-Uh. Jaken
had laid down on the two headed dragon to rest. Rin was laying along
side him while Geisha lead the way. She wouldn't speak or move as
she continued to walk forward behind Sesshomaru. She would only
glimpse of the man's eyes, but would only get some information of
what he was thinking. Sneezing lightly, Geisha would turn her eyes
toward the sky.
Father,
what is my true destination? Why am I to do since you are gone…I
wish to have answers…answers that will help me understand what the
meaning of my life is about.
Walking
along side with Lord Sesshomaru, the girl would soon figure out the
truth, but will she like the true, or will she have to suffer the
pain that was meant to be caused on her…
