Hyeah, hyeah, hyeah!
Lord Shishinki POV
I walked along a path that would lead me toward a rocky valley eventually. The place I would wait for Sesshomaru, the place I will take my revenge for what his father had done to me. To think he would pass down such a worthless sword to his eldest son is beyond me. I felt a twitch in my face as the demon that followed me circled my head once again, her mouth running off like a endless cycle of torture.
"Why did the chicken kill himself?"
Silence.
"To get to the other side..."
I let out a snort of laughter that I covered with coughing into my fist. The whole time she spurt out these idiotic jokes and at times it was rather difficult to not snicker. It would be easier if her foolish face wasn't dangling in front of me.
She had deep velvet purple hair held by the large jingling hat on her head. Her hat was cut in quarters, some red some light purple. Her shirt was a light purple vest with large red buttons, on the back was a smiling skull and cross bones in red. She wore a low cut, spiky skirt that stuck out in many directions, a couple pieces had scattered bells. The fabric seemed tough cause they didn't move even while she was upside down. It was also a vast variety of different purples and the same consistent red. Her shoes were cloth and had curled toes with bells on the tips they also were the red colour. Also on her back rested a black sheath holding a very sharp katana.
"Hyeah, hyeah, I almost got ya there Lord Shishinki!"
"Tsh. Idiot, why do you call me Lord?"
"That question is stupid! If you have to ask why then you have no reason to know."
"That a very blunt way to think of things."
"Life is blunt. Plus I gave up reasons many, many years ago."
"Why?"
The girl just stared at me blankly, her foot came down and hit me lightly on the head, it didn't move. I stood in that position for moments my eye narrowed into her blank crimson ones. That was until she huffed and twirled down to the ground and began walking, ahead a couple of steps.
"Once upon a time, there lived a cute little jester, fell in love with her prince who swore to her. After he betrayed her her jokes were dark and cruel, consistent of murders of the villagers. He killed her, sending her to the fiery pits of hell. There she learned the reality of life and death. Creating the funniest Jester Demon! Hyeah, hyeah, hyeah, hyeah!" She let out a sigh. "I don't need reason, I live my life on a whim! Hyeah, hyeah!"
Hmm, so she was betrayed once upon a time. That's no surprise thought, not in this era. Strange though, it seems she was hurt very deeply, and yet all she does is run around laughing at useless antics. "You look like you could use a good laugh. You know laughter can beat anything?" Her voice echoed through my head. As I watched her eyes tell her story, her eyes shifted, happiness, to grief, to joy. It seemed Rosku helped... I just left it at that and continued walking. I had no right to stick his nose in business that wasn't mine, plus she wasn't fond of answering questions it seemed. I could hear her run up to me once again.
"Were your parent's bakers? Cause you have nice buns!"
I misplaced my own step almost falling to the ground, I caught myself but without chocking on my own breath. What the hell was wrong with this female and why the hell would she say such things! I could almost feel a blush flushing onto my cheeks but brushed it off as part of the chocking. I glanced back to see the girl dropped in the air laughing her head off with more than necessary enthusiasm. She had tears in her eyes as the enchanting sound erupted from her mouth. It was different, more like a chime or melody. Why... is her laugh? It's so enchanting. I almost scolded myself for asking that question with the lecture I just received about not needing to know if I don't already.
"Oh, heh, wow. I haven't laughed so hard in century's!"
"You're odd."
"You're cold, but you don't hear me complain."
I looked over with a hint of annoyance in my narrowed eye. I don't see why I'm putting up with this female. I let out a light sigh and closed my eye trying to calm my thoughts as I found myself asking that question a lot over this short period of time, plus I don't need anything clouding my mind while I finish this off. It's been way to many years to screw this up. A body shimmered in my path and Kudo appeared before us. Black hollow holes seem to stare at me as the small boy bowed. He did not grow fond of the new traveller that has been bestowed on us.
Jacklyn Box POV
"Master, Lord Sesshomaru has been spotted, he still will be some time. What shall we do?"
"Good job, we will stay in the summit until he arrives."
The boy bowed and shimmered away, I raised an eyebrow in confusion. Does he plan on fighting that Inu no Taisho successor?
"Hmm?"
"If you have to ask you have no need to know."
My crimson eyes glared as my very own words were played against me. That bastard, how dare he play my games. My glare lessened as I realized, I finally made an impact on him. A funny thought sprang into my mind.
"Mmm, alright I see. I understand, don't worry I won't judge or anything. I guess it's natural to feel that way towards such powers."
His eye almost popped out of his head. I had to bite my lip from laughing.
"WHAT?"
"Don't worry Lord Shishinki, I will still follow you. I think it's kind of cute really. Hyeah, hyeah, hyeah."
My smirk was more devious than the darkest of the dark, so unsettling it even bothered the demon before me as his deep purple eye cursed me to depths of hell and back. I couldn't help but continue to snicker at his bewildered expression and his flustered outburst. Such a powerful demon taken down by slight insinuations. How cute.
"You're lucky I don't kill you right here Jacklyn!"
"Hyeah, hyeah, hyeah, hyeah... you're too uptight Lord Shishinki."
He growled as he left me behind to chuckle to myself. I took a couple breaths to calmed myself and watched him climb higher, his presence intensified. He was angry, was it anger? I couldn't tell, all I knew is something was drawing me closer to him, something very new. So as my motto says; I let myself go on the whim. The next thing I knew I was hovering in front of him, looking him eye to eyes. His eyes were distant, not even noticing the fact I was in front of him. I began to pout at his lack of observation. What is going on in your head Lord Shishinki? Why are you bitter?I found myself staring with intensity at the mask on the left side of his face. He had let me know Inu no Taisho had done it to him, but I wasn't sure what that was. I was slightly curious. I lifted my hand to the mask, letting it linger above it.
Lord Shishinki POV
Her hand lingered above my mask and her eyes gazed deeply at it. I was curious as to what was going through her head, but she stayed silent, as did I. I was captivated by the intensity of her eyes, they were like jewels of blood. I wasn't sure what I should do or say, whether I should stop her or not. I don't think I can do anything even if I wanted to. Her hand made contact and lifted the puzzle piece to the portion of my head I no longer contained. The portion of my head that Inu no Taisho swept to the depths of hell. I scowled to myself as images flowed through my brain of the battle. Sesshomaru will pay for his use of that technique, he will die for being his father's son.
"Lord Shishinki.."
Her quiet voice ripped the images of war out of my mind and brought me back to the fact she held my mask at her side. This was different from her odd, jester like ways.
"Hyeah, hyeah, hyeah, hyeah... You could play a fantastic trick on somebody with that!"
My eyes went blank as I stared at her in disbelief. She really has no sense of decency. I tried to snatch the mask from her but she just floated up into the air snickering.
"That's it, I'm going to kill you, you irritating rat!"
"Tisk, tisk. Talk like that I'll be to scared to come down and you won't get your mask!"
She chimed as she pulled off her hat and set the mask on her face. My remaining eye twitched in annoyance as she plopped her hat over top and flipped upside down grinning ear to ear. I'm going to ring her neck and make her wish she was dead!
"Jacklyn Box! I command you to return that now!"
Her eyes narrowed in a disturbing manner. Her very presence changed, her happy appearance was sinister, blood thirsty. She slowly brought her cross arm and legged body around and in front of me. I never faltered as I stared at her with my commanding stance still firm. She said she was going to follow me, that means orders as well. Her hand pulled off the mask, causing her hat to tip sideways. She held it out and dropped it in my palm. A snarl erupted from her lips as she drifted to my back and away slightly. That annoying brat, she is 2000 years too young if she thinks she can do what she pleases in my presence. Something felt off as she floated away from me, her glare never faltering, I didn't like the feeling but, there was no time for that.
"You wait here, I'm going to collect wood, for a fire, we will be staying here for a night or two."
She didn't reply, just set herself to the ground. She didn't even blink as she glared at me. I just brushed it off as I left.
Jacklyn Box POV
I watched him jump off the cliff and I let out a sigh, man it's hard to keep a straight face for so long. I kicked back and let myself lay on the nice cold rock beneath me. It was a little while of staring up into the darkening sky until a shimmer was heard. I sat up to stare at Kudo. His hollow eyes seemed to burrow in my own being.
"What's up Kudo, Lord Shishinki just left to-"
"Shut up you scum. You are not worthy to act so carefree around Lord Shishinki. He has no use for such a pathetic demon. You're best to leave."
I just blinked a couple times before a grin grew on my face.
"Hyeah, hyeah, hyeah. Calm down Kudo, you should take it easy, have a laugh! Hyeah-"
"Shut up! We don't care about your pathetic antics! Leave now! You're worthless thief and I will not have you bother Lord Shishinki!"
I couldn't help but growl at the hollow shell. To think such a thing has developed feelings on it's own. No matter where she looked, people had someone and something to care about. Whether it money, family or love. Before she let her self get carried away she put on another grin.
"Lord Shishinki doesn't seem to mind me here."
"Why do you think he left, so I could rid of you so he didn't need to bother with scum like you."
I sighed and bit my lip, this feels very similar, very similar indeed. It was almost night time soon so it's not like anything will happen, I've survived decades alone, no reason to change that now.
"Fine, fine. If your panties are in such a knot, I'll leave. Hyeah, hyeah, hyeah."
My laugh sounded so fake it even hurt to listen to myself, I let out a smirk and floated off away from the large cliff. I suppose it's back to killing humans and weak demons.
A couple hours passed and nothing has caught my attention, the stars were out and the moon was full. I laid out on top of a fluffy tree watching the universe. It was so pretty the smile on my face couldn't falter. A pulling feeling grasped at me again, one similar to Lord Rosku, I sighed, problems are going to occur if this happens... I tried aligning the stars to make strange pictures in the sky, sidetracking my mind. Like that one looks like a crooked temple, and the one over there looked like a rib.
"Hyeah, hyeah, hyeah."
Something was bugging me... The way Shishinki looked while leaving and the words he spoke, they had no sign of wanting me gone. Some reason, deep down, it seemed like he actually wanted me to stay. Heh, I'm really losing myself now, there is no way in hell. I let out a yawn, it's been a while since I've sat around and have done nothing, maybe I should take a year's vacation from being demon like.
