Chapter 4: The Sisters Past

Zea sighed.

"Yes, were. Then, my father met Sal's mom…"

"Well, what happened?" Inuyasha leaned in, thinking this story may be similar to his brothers.

"They fell in love." Zea sighed. It hurt her that her father had left her and her mother alone, for someone else. She didn't blame Maya(Sals mom), but it still hurt.

"And they had Sal?" Inuyasha asked. He received a nod of confirmation from Zea. "What about your mom? What happened to her?" He asked. Yes, this story was very like his.

"She still loved him, and he loved her. But he loved Maya more. He was sad that he did this to her, but he said he couldn't deny love. So my mom, Lithia, left." Zea said, but it was obvious she didn't like it.

"So you hate Sal." Inuyasha stated, not asked. Zea blinked, then looked at him with a confused look.

"No, I don't. Why'd you assume that?" She asked. She could never hate her sister.

"She caused your parents to separate. It's her fault that your mom left you and your dad." Inuyasha said, confused as well. Sesshomaru(I can't help thinking I spelled that wrong…) had been a bad influence to him. He had heard it was his fault so often that he started to believe it.

Zea felt slightly ticked off. Everybody always asked her why she didn't hate her sister. Even Zea's mom didn't blame Sal or Maya.

It's not Sal's fault she was born. She shouldn't be blamed for something she has no control over. That's why Zea promised her, when Sal was 7 and Zea was 8, that she would always be there for her, and protect her.

She had cleared everything up a long time ago, then here someone else came along with that stupid assumption. Zea glared at Inuyasha.

"How is it her fault? She wasn't even born when they met! Sal should not be blamed for something she didn't do! Why do people always blame those who have no control over anything!" Zea started out calm-ish, but then yelled at the end. Inuyasha was shocked, but he suddenly felt lighter.

Not everyone blamed him for being born(He couldn't help but make it him, it was too similar). But then he felt rage. Why couldn't Sesshomaru stand up for him like that? Why did he have to take the easiest way, which was to hate him, along with everyone else? Why couldn't he be like Zea?

"I'm sorry, but I'm in the same position as Sal. But my brother took the easy way out, and decided to hate me to keep up his image." He confessed. He wondered why he was telling her this. It was probably because he liked that she made the hard-but right-choice, to protect her sister, rather than go along with what every one else was doing.

Zea gaze instantly changed from a glare to a sympathetic look, then back to a glare, then back to sympathetic. But the second glare was not at Inuyasha. It was meant for his half-brother.

"Who would do that to their own brother?" Zea whispered, upset. Inuyasha shrugged, but inside he felt really good that it was not him that made his brother hate him, but his brother's attitude and pride. Then he felt mad. Why did he have to get the brother who didn't care? Why him?

Zea remembered the manga. Everything turned out great in the end, but Sesshomaru wouldn't even stop trying to kill his brother until quite a while into the manga.

She used to think he was so cool, that he could understand what she felt because her family situation was so close to his. She never realized what a jerk he was until she actually met his brother, Inuyasha.

Zea sighed. Then her head suddenly snapped up to look at Sal.

"Say something Sal!" She ordered.

"Something Sal!" Sal said, smiling. Zea rolled her eyes.

"That's so original" She murmured, but she was smiling too.

All the rest of the group sweat dropped, even Kirara. These girls were really random. Going from a painful, heart-wrenching subject to all giggles and sillyness in one second flat.(Yeah, I know… I'm lame ;P)Kirara mewed. Zea suddenly looked up at her, and then broke into a huge grin.

"OMG! Kirara! Your so cute!) Zea squealed(I can't remember if Miroku introduced Kirara…). She ran over to Sango and grabbed Kirara straight off of Sango's shoulder, bringing the poor two-tailed cat into a death-grip hug.

The gang(my clever nickname for the Naraku-hunting group J)looked on with sweat drops. Sango was wondering if she should smile at her reaction to Kirara or rescue her from the death-grip Zea had her in. Sal rolled her eyes and rubbed her temples, embarrassed at her cousin's behavior. She couldn't of freaked out over Kirara when she first saw her, not half and hour later?

Sango decided to save Kirara from getting crushed. Just as she was about to pry her out of Zea's arms, Kagome suddenly looked up and spoke.

"I sense a Sacred Jewel Shard." She said. Every body stopped what they were doing to look towards her. Even Zea stopped strangling Kirara and looked up. Sal was confused. How could she tell?

'Finally!' Thought Zea, 'Some action!' She felt the corners of her lips tug upwards. Sal, on the other hand, raised her eyebrows. 'Why is she smiling? I don't think that's a good thing…'

Inuyasha broke the silence first.

"Well? Aren't we going after it?" He spoke the obvious. Sal rolled her eyes. 'Stupid dramatic suspense.'Kagome hopped on Inuyasha's back and took of. Miroku followed, and Sango was already on Kirara.

"Come on!" She shouted to the two frozen girls. Zea instantly snapped out of it and jumped on Kirara. Sal wasn't so trusting. She eyed the giant ferocious-looking cat. What happened to the cute little cat that was there five seconds ago?

"Come on, Sal." Said Zea, rolling her eyes. Sal crept forward and got on behind Zea. Kirara took off fast, Zea and Sal gasping as she took to the air. That didn't last long though, as Zea started laughing at being so high up.

"This is cool!" She yelled, exhilarated.

"Well, it is rather cold up here." replied Sango, only remembering Kagome's use of the word after she replied. Zea rolled her eyes.

"No, I mean-ack!" She was cut off as Sal suddenly gripped her stomach hard from behind. She looked at her cousin to yell at her, but then stopped as she saw her white face. She was then about to ask her what was wrong, but stopped again at her cousin's pointing finger. Zea turned around.

Nothing could have prepared her for what she saw. Well, something probably could of, considering they were in a manga and all… but yeah, you get the point. Anyway, back to what she saw.

What she saw was a flash of silver hair, accompanied by a white ummm…. man kimono? What's it called? Well whatever. A man kimono covered with armor, completed by two swords strapped to his obi.

Zea gasped. It was….

Heck yeah, it's really obvious who the mystery stranger is, but hey, it kinda-sorta a cliffie.

Well, that's it, except for one more thing.

Please Review!!!
