IMPORTANT INFORMATION! (Nothing about the story, but why I'm so tied up.)

OMG, sorry for the wait. The virus is actually not a virus, but a problem with the DN server.

Translation: I need to change to a different internet provider. Windstream can't find FF, so it will simply stop going to it, along with some other sites. We're going to wait until later to change it, because....

I'm moving! Yep, with the packing up, cleaning my current house, the fact that FF won't work on my comp, and Karate, the only time I have to write is at school.

You can see how much time I have. Yup, not a lot. The closing for the new house is on April 26, and it looks like someone wants to buy our house, so we have a lot work to do to get everything ready for the big day.

What I think I'm gonna do is wait for two months, and then have two extra long chapters for you all. Either that or really short chapters every two weeks. Since spring break is coming up really soon, the first option is more likely.

Well, enough of me rambling. Enjoy this short chapter!

PS: I couldn't think of a good chapter name, so I asked my seven {and three-quarters} year old friend to think of something random. This is what she came up with!

Chapter 6: Shiny Ocean

"What the hell was that!?!?" asked Sal. Well, more like screamed, but you get the point. Her hands were cutting off the circulation in Zea's wrists, and Zea had to yank them off before she answered her question.

"It was a demon rat, and the bug was one of Naraku's insects. Saimyōshō, I think they're called. That jewel that the bug carried off was a shard of the Shikon Jewel. Why are you so.. weird today? You're usually way too calm." Zea explained, pondered, and asked.

"I'm in a freaking anime!" Sal yelled, seemingly freaked out. Zea quickly took a look at their attitudes. It looked like they both switched personalities for the moment. She gasped, horrified. Her, the insane Zeahire Diamund, calm? Outrageous!

"Maybe we're having a weird, double-dream?" Zea said, trying to find something to get her cousin to stop freaking out.

"It's reasonable." She muttered, not believing it one bit, but deciding that freaking out wasn't going to help. Zea sighed, relieved. Kirara was watching their little debate with amusement, and at the same time trying to listen for any more demons. Zea clapped her hands together.

"Okay! Let's get going!" She said, looking at Kirara. She nodded and motioned for them to get on her back again. They were just about to hop on when Kirara growled, and about fifty(really only ten) demons came rushing out of the forest around them. Kirara immediately started fending them off, making sure Zea and Sal were secure.

Sal went pale when an ugly pig demon got past Kirara and headed for them. Zea quickly hauled her out of the way. It flung its clunky sword at the last second-right where Sal's head was just seconds ago.

More demons came at them, and Zea pulled her sister close and dodged all of them. They were getting farther from Kirara, but if they tried to go back they would get a face-full of demon. So they went along, dodging everything that came at them. Soon they were at the edge of the fight, and the demons were getting pissed off at Kirara. They focused entirely on her, instead of their target, Zea.

Sal took half a second to think, then ran into the woods, Zea in tow. Zea didn't question her, she was too busy focusing on not running into a tree. Sal didn't even think about the fact that they were running away from their only source of protection, just that they had to get away from the immediate danger.

Zea, in between dodging the three-frickin-million trees, thought this through, but really couldn't do anything to stop it without a) running into one of the frickin trees, or b) making her sister run into one of the frickin trees. Choices, choices.

Finally, Sal stopped, out of breath. Whatever breath she managed to get in three seconds was knocked out of her when her sister dropped like a dead weight right on her back.

"Zea?" Sal asked, worry and annoyance both plain in her voice.

"I think I was hit." Was the mumbled reply. Sal quickly looked her over. It was true, there was a pretty bad slice on her leg. Nothing that would kill her, but would take some time to heal. If it wasn't Sal we were talking about, she would've panicked. But, being the calm, reasonable person she is, she looked around for something to wrap the wound in.

She found nothing. About to start digging through her backpack, a small voice to her side startled her.

"Is she okay?" It asked. Sal looked to the side to find a young girl, only about seven years old, with an orange checkered kimono and a lopsided pony tail on the top of her head.

Something about the young girl seemed kind of familiar to Sal, but she couldn't remember where she saw her before. 'This is an anime, after all. Maybe I saw her when Zea was watching this show.' She thought.

"She'll live, but if I can't clean this cut soon, it might get infected. Even if I do clean it, it will take some time to heal." She said to the girl.

"Oh... Do you have a place for her to heal?" The young girl asked. Sal shook her head. The girl beamed.

"Then you can stay with Rin! My Lord won't mind, because he is very kind!" She said, smiling.

"Really? You're sure he wont mind?" Sal asked. When Rin nodded her head, Sal smiled gratefully at her. "Thank you... Rin, is it?"

"Yup! What's your name?" Rin asked, smiling cutely.

"Well, my name is Saloma, and my sisters name is Zeahire. But you can call us Sal and Zea for short." Sal said. Rin's smile grew even bigger.

"Okay Sal-san! I will bring Master Jaken here, and we will stop for the night." She said. Sal just then noticed how dark it was getting.

Five minutes later, Sal was acquainted with a small, creepy, toad-like thing(after beating him with a stick shouting "EWWWW!!! GET IT AWAY FROM ME!!") and a two-headed dragon named Ah-Un. Rin helped her bandage Zea's wound, and she settled down with her sister's head in her lap and Rin cuddled into her side.

After a couple of minutes, she heard a rustling in the forest. Paying it no mind, she let Rin push her head up and see what it was.

"Lord Sesshomaru! You've returned!" She said, smiling brightly. Sal froze, then slowly looked up.

'Lord... Sesshomaru?" She thought, just before her blue eyes met with a pair of cold, golden ones.

I'm actually at my seven(and three-quarters) year olds house, because my house is having a showing. I got on a different internet connection, and BAM, FF works. I'm gonna get off before this Mac catches a virus *scoffs* Please keep on reading and reviewing!
