I ran to the tree line, the smell getting stronger and stronger, as I finally found it.

"Rin?" I walked over to the child, sitting up top of Ah-Un. Her eyes were covered in tears, and Jaken was nowhere to be found, which made me worry. "How… Why are you out here by yourself?"

"I found out that you ran away, Miss Mika. I had to find you and bring you back to the palace." She grabbed my hands, as she cried more, my heart hurt. Lord now I feel quilt and worry, it's weird. "Please come back."

"Rin, hunny. Listen, I have to go visit an old family friend, then I'll come back, I promise." I hugged her tight and then looking her deep in her eyes. "Does anyone know you came?"

"No one." Rin sniffled, I sighed.

"Then get back to the palace and behave till I get back. Ok?" I smiled, ruffled her hair.

She nodded, as Ah-Un flew into the sky and disappeared into the clouds. I continued to walk, noticing the sky growing dark and the moon growing brighter. "Now, how do I get to you Mizuki?"

I took a deep breath, sensing someone near, I took stand, having my hands incased in poison.

"Hello." A young woman came out of the shadows, her clothes were blue and gilterty as the stars and her hair was as dark as the night sky.

"Hi?" I looked at her, her smile was creeping me out.

"You were looking for me, weren't you Mika?" She walked closer to me, as I felt her powers, they were much more than I could ever handle. This woman was Mizuki.

I bowed. "Yes, Miss."

"Don't bow. You have no need for such formalities, child."

I looked into her eyes, but for some reason deep inside me there was something that didn't like. I pushed it away, considering she was the only person in the whole world to give me my answers. I walked towards her.

"How can I help you?"

"There's so much. I need answers, I need someone to teach me, someone to lead me in the right direction." I was scared, for the first time in my life, the thought of not knowing anything about the past got me worried for what the future would hold for me. The dark presence of an unknown future scared me more than death itself, I needed to know myself to know what would happen. She was there when all that made me empty and brought me to Cali.

"I understand. Follow me and I will give you the answers you seek." She turned towards a field, I ran after her. "It seems you have become one again."

"Yeah, I did." I didn't know how else to answer that, if I mentioned Naraku would it cause problems or would it just be easier. Everything was so confusing, emotions were screwing around with my head worse than anything I ever dealt with.

"It's ok, I realize your hesitation. Your heart and your mind are trying to assimilate, it will take awhile to be settled." We reached to a giant palace, bigger than Mother Taka, but I was kinda not surprised considering we are dealing with the Moon Goddess. I followed her in and into a living room area, sat down on some pillows as she stared at me. "You look so much like your mother."

"Thank you." I felt a pang in my heart, loss of my mom pain, 'yippie' "But why was I separated from my heart?"

"Because, without your heart, you would never felt the missing feeling in your chest where the truth lied. You would lead your life in the suit of knowledge, then when it was ready, destiny would bring you back."

"But I never got to say I love you to my Dad!" I started to cry. "Because I was heartless, I pushed him away, made him think I just despised him. That isn't fair!" My girlish emotions were taking over.

"I reali-"

"No, I don't think you do realize the problem. You never had people call you a bitch for being emotionless or never participating in games. I was the loner, because of someone's stupid decision. I would have preferred be called a freak then to be called a heartless bitch." I slammed my fist against the floor, the wood cracked. "Who made the decision anyway?"

"I did." Mizuki's eyes became darker. "I thought what was best for you, and you say my decision, my decree was ridiculous."

I gasped. "I didn't mean it like that."

"It sounded just as you said it, Mika. You are just like her, she believed the same. She seemed to be right in her thoughts. But she was wrong, that you would be smart."

"Huh?"

She cackled, as her eyes turned red. Her hair turned orange, her outfit turned into a yellow Egyptian styled dress, with a sword strapped to her back. "Can't believe you fell for my illusion."

I jumped back, she looked as if she was a complete opposite of me. She was shorter than me, by a foot, her hair stopped at her shoulders with white tips. Her eyes were like blood, it freaked me out a little. Her skin looked so tan, but she still seemed to have pink on her cheeks. "Who the fuck are you?"

"You can call me Akiko."

"And what are you?" I looked her over, noticing she was circling me, studying me.

"I'm a Solar Cat Demon, the last one." She seemed pretty happy, her smile was planted straight on her face. "We have something in common."

"Honestly, I don't give a shit." I started to walk away. If this chick was who she said she was, she was my mortal enemy. Her kind killed all the people in the Moon Kingdom, and who knows if Mizuki is still alive. I wasn't planning to test the theory of Sun against Moon.

"Wait." She jumped in front of me, her cat ears popping up from her hair on top her head. "I want to make a deal with you."

"Why would a Solar Cat want to work with a Celestial Dog? Seriously?"

"Can you just hear me out?" She sighed.

"Fine." I sat down, as the illusion of the palace disappeared, instead it was a rundown hut.

Akiko took a deep breath as she seemed to try and figure how to say what she wanted. "Well, I know stuff about you, thanks to Mistress Mizuki. She took me in after the great war, she made me a good girl. Mizuki is back on the moon, and she told me to find you."

"Okay. Now I'd love to hear this from her, when is she getting back?"

"Next new moon." I groaned, Two freaking weeks! "But she told me to help you. So, can we put the natural hate aside?"

I stood up, looking down at her. "Sure, but what is it you wanted to deal?"

"I need help killing off some stupid demon that attacked me, but I can't find him. My nose sucks." Akiko whined, I giggled. "Would you be my better half and big sis?" She pouted, her eyes turning so big and almost… cute.

"Whose the demon?"

"Some wolf that keeps tracking me, saying I have his stuff." She twirled her hair.

She reminded me of the little girl that lived next to me in Cali, she'd always do little things to hide the truth, I could tell Akiko was doing the same. "You took something didn't you?"

"Nah uh! I just took what was mine, was all."

"And that would be?"

"These." Jewel shards glittered in a little bag, she hid it back on her person. "They were just so shiny, so their mine."

I sighed. She truly was a cat. "I'll help you, just how old are you?"

"15."

I started out of the hut, feeling her behind me. Her power level was half of mine, but she did surprise me that she tricked me so easily. Maybe having her by my side wasn't such a bad idea. "Ok, Little Sis. Let's go find that wolf, to return those."

Akiko whined, I glared, as she sulkily walked behind. This was gonna be a busy two weeks, and she was just the start of it all.
