Disclamer: I don't own any characters from Inuyasha but, I proudly own Pearl and any other OC's I birth. Yep followers that is a hint. Once school starts back up on the 7th updating will slow to maybe (if I sacrifice my health)once a week,maybe once a REVIEW! I need to feel the love!
Chapter 5: Visitor
"WHAT IS IT!"
I screeched as the creepy green creature came closer. I may have grown up in the South where fishing,hunting and mudding are prevalent but, my tolerance to creepy green things was nill. A blur of red and green stood between me and the creature from the abyss. I completely forgot about his previous pissy mood in favor of hiding behind his back. 'Whoa his shoulders are wider than I thought they were.' Then the thing moved again.
"M-make it go away, Shippou." I sobbed fully in a state of hysteria once more. Little did I know that three foot tall green creepy-crawly was way more afraid of me then I was of him. Shippou's appealing back started shaking. Glancing over his shoulder at me he giggled. He fucking giggled like a school girl.
"H-h-hoshi-s-sama are you a-a-fraid of J-j-jakken?"He asked between sucking in air and snorting in laughter. It would have been cute if I wasn't still pissed not to mentioned terrified.
'Ass'
My face grew hot with embarrassment. "What is so damn funny?" I demanded. My fear eclipsed by my anger. I am a red head after all. Something tugged on the robe-thing Shippou lent me causing me to look down. I squealed in fright. The thing Shippou called Jakken had latched his meaty little phalanges onto the pretty silk. It was screeching something in Japenese and sobbing. Infuriatingly, Shippou understands everything I say and visa versa but, no one else does. So I am completely dependent on the sometimes subservient sometimes psycho Shippou. "What does it want?" I whispered to Shippou without taking my eyes from Mr. Creepy-crawler.
Shippou sobered at that. He spoke with Jakken in Japanese for a few minutes before responding. "A powerful youkai lord an old comrade of mine and my step father's half brother, has just had the luck of having his first male grandchild. This will make his tenth grandchild and the child third in line to inherit. The only problem is that the child's mother died shortly after giving birth and refuses to suckle from a nurse-maid. My Lord's second son the kindhearted Eiji has fallen ill after his beloved consort Chou's death and the healers do not think he will last the night. Many youkai often die after the loss ao their mate so I'm not surprised that it has turned so grim so quickly. Jakken has come because the Lord of the West's mother Lady Inu-Kimi say your descent from the heavens and has full faith that you can help in the situation. She is very protective of her family as all Inu's are. What do you say Hoshi-sama? Do you desire to visit the West?" Two pairs of eyes bore into my soul. "Why does this Lady Inu-Kimi think I will be of any help?"Shippou looked at me as if I had sprouted another head. "Why do you even ask Hoshi-sama? I have full faith in your abilities."He paused for a moment and added. " The Inus of the West will no doubt repay your kindness with whatever you ask. Saving their heir will be saving their future."
'Maybe they know of someone who can shed some light on why I was dumped here like a fucked of Dorthy from The Wizard of Oz?'
"When do we leave?"
