The group of people all watched as the man and small girl drifted up into the large vortex of Meidou. Many of them confused as to why the girl went racing into the circle.

"Didn't she know what that was?" Shippo asked.

"I think those two shared a relationship of some sort..." Sango stated, sympathizing with the feeling of rushing to save a loved one. She glanced over to Miruko.

"It doesn't matter they're both dead now. Serves that bitch right."

Inuyasha huffed, throwing his sword over his shoulder. He was watching Sesshomaru as he paid no mind to what was going on around him. Confusion and doubt filled the demon's head.

Jacklyn Box POV

I landed on a small slab of stone. It was very cold, much colder than I was used to. I blinked my eyes and yet it felt like my eyes were still shut, there was no vortex or bodies to let me know I was awake.

"Crud... Hyeah, hyeah, hyeah..."

I continued to stare into the blackness above, my head was a little dizzy from the hit. It's strange how this stone is so cold, yet I'm in hell. The irony, hyeah, hyeah, hyeah, it's time's like these I miss Rosku or is it even Rosku I miss? Ever since I met that cat demon I've been having flashes of memories, strange feelings I remember from long ago.

A young boy, rather small but average size none-the-less. He had medium blond hair that hung around his eyes and over his ears. The crown always seemingly planted firmly on top of the golden locks. His eyes were clear crystal blue, he was a bewitching sight, even for a demon. He was jewel among men, or so he seemed. He always wore a baggy gold and white hamaka. Around his waist was a thick dark green sash that wrapped around elegantly. He had the sleeves off of his outfit, showing the black ink tattoos down both his arms. He was about the age of 5 and he always seemed to have a pout on his lips. His father the king of a northern land was powerful, controlling even demons themselves. He had demanded that something come and try and cure his son from whatever had been bothering him. That's where I came in, standing before the young boy who hid behind a chair at my sight.

"I-I-Is that a demon f-f-father?"

"Yes. But have no fear, she is only here to make you smile and to protect your life."

My eyes curved up as the child crouched back further, leaving only an eye to look at me.

"Heehee, do you want to hear a joke, master?"

He blinked, "uuh, um.. s-sure."

I giggled as I began to float and turn upside down. The boy gasped at the sight.

"An organization is like a tree full of monkeys, all on different limbs at different levels. Some monkeys are climbing up, some down. The monkeys on top look down and see a tree full of smiling faces. The monkeys on the bottom look up and see nothing but butts."

The boy stared at me for a moment longer until he began to giggle to himself. He slowly came out of hiding, his cheeks red with embarrassment.

"Wh-What's your name?"

I floated back down with a large grin on my face, I sat crouched down in front of him, standing to his height.

"My name is Jacklyn Box, but you can call me anything you want, young master."

"I'm gonna call you Lyn! You can call me Elric!"

"Heeheehee, you're funny Elric."

I let out a sigh as I finally remembered why I was down here.

"Lord Shishinki!"

I pushed myself up and rubbed the back of my head, damn, how irritating. My voice echoed through the darkness and I began my journey to hell knows where. I wonder if there are any other wanderers around here. They used to be cleaned up by the Guardian, but him being gone, things could get a little crazy down here. Plus I have no idea how long he has been gone, wonder what happened to him. Ah, well. I hope Lord Shishinki is all right, he may be a powerful demon above the surface but things are very different down here, you can't kill the dead. But, being sent rather then actually dying, it's not hard for them to kill you, this is their territory after all and they all have a job to complete.

"Looord Shiishinnnkii!"

Baka cat, he better not go into that vortex or get thrown into that vortex. Bubbles of worry began to form and float around in my stomach. It was a very unsettling feeling and I had an urge to tear out my own stomach. Hyeah, hyeah, hyeah. I'm going mad... How cliche, the split personality clown.

"Hyeah, hyeah, hyeah! When I find you Lord Shishinki, I'ma kick you in the shin..."

Lord Shishinki POV

I stood on a piece of stone pathway. Nothing was seen but darkness all around.

"Is this hell?"

I wonder if Jacklyn got sucked in as well. Stupid girl, why was she there anyway, and why would she do such an idiotic thing as to jump in after me. Like I could die from my own attack. I just need to find a way out of here. I took a couple steps and with each step a new path began to form under my feet. Huh, convenient. I began to walk, where to I wasn't sure, but maybe I would run into something also convenient, though that seems highly unlikely. I wonder what wonders really live beneath the surface, in this place I seem to be. I continued to have this feeling of loss, as if I was missing something, though I had nothing more than my staff. Kudo seemed to be gone as well, probably struck by one of the dog brother's moves. Mangy mutts. Nothing was changing so I decided to take a right, even an enemy is better than this. I'm fine with patience but I would prefer not to walk in nothing for the rest of eternity.

Jacklyn Box POV

I held my katana in hand as I panted. I stood before 5 hell hounds. Unfortunately, I forgot about these things, I must be pretty close to the vortex than. It seems security is pretty tight around here, usually these guys just crawl back to normal, not bloody well split into pieces.

"Hyeah, hyeah, hyeah. Be a good doggy, be niiice..."

A low growl and snarling from the three hounds showed that being nice wasn't going to happen. I can't just stay floating either, my powers won't last that long down here, plus these guys have no restrictions. When the one hound jumped at me I stabbed him in the side of the head as I ducked out of the way. He collapsed for a moment while the wound slowly bubbled back to nothing. I took this moment to run, and run very damn well fast.

"Hey, what did one flea say to the other?"

Running and snarling.

"Shall we walk or take a dog?"

One of the hounds let out a howl and picked up his speed, his claws reached my leg, tearing a fresh wound out of my thigh. I tripped and the one hound flew over me. I lay on cold stone, surrounded by 5 hounds, drooling, snapping and growling. I was screwed.

"You guys have no sense of humour, hyeah, hyeah, hyeah..."

I pulled my katana out once again and that edged the hounds to pull in closer and get ready for the ultimate assault. I hate dogs...

"Hey, there's a cat demon, why don't you chase him! Hyeah, hyeah."

Lord Shishinki POV

I could hear faint sounds in the distance and began walking toward them. The only thing I have met so far was a dog of some sort. I found out that my Meidou works down here, but I'm not sure how or how well. I have an assumption that it just teleports them to another area in this vast darkness. Well at this point it didn't really matter where they went as long as they were away from me. The noises were getting louder and I quickened my pace to a run as I recognized one of the sounds as shouting and cries of pain from a female. There were 5 of those strange dead dogs and a bloodied up jester. With a scowl I swung my staff, trapping the hounds in the vortex and shipping them to who the hell really cares. I ran over and crouched beside the beaten girl. Her clothes were torn, and she was covered in gashes, gapes and her own blood. Her katana had fallen a couple metres out of her reach which probably caused her fall. I brushed back her bangs as she whimpered and gasped for air.

"Jacklyn.. Jacklyn are you alright?"

"I'm fu-fucking d-dand-dy. I'm so f-f-f-fine... I'm piss-sing rainb-b-bows.. Hyeah, hye-e-eah, hyeah..."

I shook my head and my lips pulled into half a smile.

"Stupid girl... What the hell are you doing here?"

"I-I forgot to t-t-tell you..."

"Tell me what?"

"I had t-to tell you to..."

Her fluttering eye fell shut and her smile went limp. Even covered in blood and half dead, the small girl was just as appealing to me as I remember her being. Of course, the first time I saw her it was pretty much the same thing. I sat down and watched the small girl. I didn't have much to help her with, especially in the middle of no where. After a few minutes I decided to use the sash around my waist, taking the end and wiping away the blood from her face. It was amazing that she didn't bleed to death, it was more amazing how she lay here and yet no puddle of blood formed. There is so much I don't know about this demon.

Jacklyn Box POV

My head was hurting and my body was cold. When I opened my eyes, well I couldn't tell a difference, I stared up into pitch black. I groaned and grumbled and tried to sit up, to my surprise an arm and hand helped me into my sitting position.

"Lord Shishinki?"

"You're awake. It's been quite some time, I was beginning to give up on your awakening."

"Hyeah, hyeah. What happened to your sash, your outfit is incomplete without it."

"That's unimportant, can you move?"

I jumped up and twirled around on my toes.

"Wha'd you forget that I come down here to get fixed up? I'm almost invincible in this beautiful oasis of black and stone... I just have to find the portal before the hounds eat me up. Hyeah, hyeah, hyeah. Walking with a cat won't help either."

"By the way Jacklyn, what were you saying before you passed out?"

He stood up and took a few steps closer to my floating form. I tapped my chin thinking, what was I saying there?

"Right! I was about to tell you... Those..." I sat waiting out the piece of advice. "who laugh last..." I can see the suspense in his eyes. It made my stomach turn in excitement. "...think slowest."

He stared at me and blinked a couple times. I bite my lip waiting for it, unfortunately, I gave him to much credit.

"What?"

I laughed, and shook my head while I just pointed and laughed more at the violet eyed man before me.

"Hyeah, hyeah, hyeah, hyeah. Oh Lord Shishinki, you have so much to learn! I don't think a demon's life is even enough! Hyeah, hyeah!"

"I should have left you to die."

Annoyance was clear in his voice and in his eyes, as I stared at him while I continued to snicker.

"You knew how I was this time, you saved me out of sheer stupidity."

"Hm. So it seems."

I sighed and grasped the man's hand, tugging him along as I ran in a direction.

"Well, your poor sense of humour will have to wait. First things first... Let's look for the portal and get out of here."

He was silent as he followed behind, his finger's shifting for a better grip. I smiled but quickly switched it into a smirk.

"Stupid cat demon, a master isn't supposed to fall for his jester. Hyeah, hyeah, hyeah."

His lips pulled into the smallest sight of a smirk. "If I'm master, don't I make those kind of decisions?"

"I suppose you do, Lord Shishinki."

I turned so I could let the smile spread across my features. The warmth was unbelievable and indescribably.

"It's a shame I have a master with such a bad sense of humour! Things will never be fun now, hyeah, hyeah, hyeah!"

My arm was pulled back and I fell back into the hard chest of the demon I dragged along. I sat helpless in his arms as he ran, staring into a sinister violet eye. The sharpened teeth poked out of his mouth in a sexy smirk.

"Maybe I just have more of a voluptuous sense of humour?"

My mouth hung open, I was left speechless. I could feel a strange tingle in my body and the heat on my cheeks. I heard him chuckle as he looked away.
