chapter 34: slip away
red eyes closed as a being sat back in his new chair and he began to think on all the things he was told and did since even before his conception.
they were able to disappear rather easily, as if they had simply been ignored by those on the battle field and it amazed them, that was till they saw that there path had indeed been blocked by the arrival of a few oni's. They ducked them quickly and took off letting those that had gathered fight them off, it was not their battle. They had waited patiently to be freed and done as that evil cur had said, even though it had been most of the time half assed. Either way, they were free now and they wouldn't let anyone stand in the way of that.
They were easily able to get away from the danger that the odd group that had came brought.
Months passed and the sisters enjoyed the freedom that they had managed to some how run away to. They were still baffled that the evil hanyou had not noticed their escape, but didn't bother to dwell on it. When the time came the kit and girl were freed from their shackles and left quickly just as they had sort of planned for them to. Either way the two kids escaped easily and they had also made their escape as well, but that freedom they soon realized came with a price, Kagura was with child, and the demon growing in her gut, sadly would not die, no matter what they tried. This was out of their hands, naraku's way of controlling them even after he had died.
he frowned his mother had frowned when he told him of his conception. It had been one of he many rapes she had to endure at the hands of the man that was his father. She had been so filled with hatred for the man that he didn't even blame her for trying to get rid of him, but his father had probably known that would have happened and had some how protected him, even he didn't know how. He stared off at the corner of his room, the walls were a light beige and brown, nice complementary colors that were pleasing to the eye in a sedated manner, not flashy, like himself really. The only thing really flashy about him was the red of his eyes, a trait both him, his mother and father held. He closed them and began to sift through his history and memories again.
Kagura sat back against the bark of the tree as she nursed the child that lay in her arms, his red eyes watching her. Once the child was done feeding he straightened her clothes and stood. Kanna had given them a message from beyond. Naraku had plans for the child obviously and those plans included her wandering around the country side teaching the child things like some kind of vagabond hippie. She sighed as she carried the young one, soon he would be off hunting for himself as well as completely weened from breast milk, how the young grew. She felt a small hand touch her cheek and she glanced at the child acknowledging him. He cooed cutely as he looked up at her, he was adorable in a small chunky baby way, but she refused to grow attached to the child.
On they walked for years, sometimes bumping into kanna who's mind was either lost with what ever hold Naraku had gotten over her or simply off in her own mind as she drifted. Sometimes she followed them, and the boy was curious of his "Aunts" condition, wondering about what caused her to follow them like a zombie at points, dead to the world.
As the boy grew old kanna would fill his mind with things she was told to say about Naraku, kagura knew that it was merely Naraku trying to impress his son some how. Kagura watched with worry as her son, when she began referring to the boy as such she didn't know, grew more and more curious with how his father passed away. She knew Naraku had told him the story and she wondered how much the child knew of the story and if it was the complete truth, knowing Naraku, it was nothing close to the truth and was likely filled with half truths and lies.
The child had been living for many years now and had considered himself well passed grown. His mother had taught him the ways of life as a youkai, kanna passed on the legends of his father to him, and he wondered who this woman his father met was. This woman that caused his end. He did his research in secret, hopefully not letting on to the fact that he knew more to the story then kanna would tell and much more then kagura thought he knew. Times were changing and as soon as he could kagura had him enrolled in a high school with faked papers, he worked hard and passed through school easily going into the business world. He made the connections necessary for someone of his status and pulled all the strings without being seen. He was a mastermind in psychology and manipulation, his mother and aunt had taught him well.
He would learn more of this man he called father, but for now, it was time for him to learn of another being and if what his aunt told him was correct then his so called sire had left him a wealth of knowledge, as vast as the oceans are deep and wide, on this particular woman, he just had to find it.
he had found what he was looking for then. His youthful days barely passed 450 then and it only had taken him 120 years to get his fill of the info left to him by his father. That had been the hard part actually finding the information, it was all coded as if the old dead man was scared someone would find it. Kanna had given him the first clue, cryptic old bastard. It was in a bloody old well in a small village where he found the information buried deep inside, or alteast most of it, he had to visit other stupid sites as well like Mt. Hakurei, and many other places, like the band of seven's graves for one. The clue for them was under the seven you will find unmeasurable knowledge, god did it take him forever to figure out what the old coot meant with that one.
He opened his eyes and glanced out his window, a new japan was laid before him. Deep inside his being he felt it was time to lay things into motion. She would finally be showing up, about time.
