[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
The group walked through the woods without saying much to each other. But the silence was starting to drive Starfire crazy. `If someone doesn't say something soon I think I might lose it.'
“Pluto?”
“Yes, Kagome.”
“How many others are there?”
“What do you mean?”
“Like you and Starfire?”
“Oh, actually there are seven of us total. Me, Starfire, Moonstriker, Saturn, Sun, the Guardian, and the Ancient Warrior.”
“Oh and how do you all know each other?”
“We're family.”
“Family?”
“Yup, somehow we are related.”
“Oh.”
“Would you two shut up!” Inuyasha yelled over his shoulder as he gave Pluto a dirty look.
“Stop being a jerk Inuyasha!”
`I wonder what I did to him because he is sending a lot of dirty looks my way.' Pluto looked at Starfire as if to ask for her help, but Starfire was lost in her own thoughts.
`He must like that girl Kagome and since she seems to like Pluto. He's jealous. And if I know Pluto he's totally clueless.' Starfire quickened her pace to catch up to Inuyasha. Inuyasha glanced over at Starfire.
“What do you want?”
“Nothing. Just wondering why you're giving Pluto dirty looks.”
“I'm not giving him dirty looks your just seeing things.”
“All right if you don't want to talk about it…”
“Look I told you there was nothing to talk about.”
“I know that's why I just said that.” Starfire smirked at herself. `He's slowly breaking. He'll tell me before we reach the valley.' As they walked Inuyasha couldn't help but glance at Starfire every now and then.
`Why do I feel the urge to tell her what on my mind? Damn bitch probably caste a spell on me.' Inuyasha stopped in front of Starfire as she looked up to make eye contact with him. “Remove the spell!”
“What spell?”
“The spell you put on me!” Inuyasha was growing more furious.
“I can't cast spells, why is something bothering you?” Starfire smiled. She knew that he wanted to talk but had too much pride to. “I mean if something is bothering you…”
“I TOLD YOU NOTHING IS BOTHERING ME!!” Inuyasha then turned to find the entire group staring at him with confused looks on their faces. Angry Inuyasha hopped into the nearest tree.
“Go on ahead Pluto. We'll catch up in a second.”
“Okay Star, but be careful.”
“Yeah, yeah.” Star said as she waved her hand in the air to show him not to worry about it. When the group was out of sight Starfire walked under the tree and looked up at the angry Inuyasha. “So you gonna tell what fuck is your problem or what?” Inuyasha looked down at her in shock realizing what she just said.
“Look, I don't have a problem with you're cousin, but…”
“You care for Kagome.” Starfire said finishing Inuyasha's sentence.
“How did you know?”
“Call it intuition. Anyway why don't you just tell her?”
“I can't there's too much at risk. If something were to happen to Kagome…I don't know what I'd do.”
“Well take my advice you have nothing to worry about. Pluto is madly in love with someone else. He wouldn't think twice about Kagome.”
“Are you sure?” Inuyasha looked at Starfire with hope in his eyes.
“More then sure.” Starfire smiled.
“Thanks Starf…I mean Star.” Inuyasha jumped down from the tree and the two headed off to find the others. `Starfire knew how I felt about Kagome. But why did I tell her? Maybe there is something special about her.' Inuyasha glanced at the young warrior. Starfire turned to meet his gaze.
“What?”
“Nothing. Just thank you.”
“For what?”
“For listening.”
“Oh, no problem. I'll listen anytime you need to talk.” She smiled placing her hand on Inuyasha's shoulder. `He's lived a lonely life. Well hopefully he'll realize that he's not alone anymore.' They soon caught up with the others and Starfire noticed that Inuyasha's attitude went from kind to mean but she knew it was all just an act but decided to play along. “Sorry it took so long someone was a little more stubborn then I thought.”
“Feh.” Inuyasha snorted. `She's acting like I didn't even say anything to her.' Inuyasha smiled. `What is this feeling? I feel it whenever I look at Starfire. It's not the same feeling I have for Kagome, it's almost like the way I felt for my mother so long ago.' As he pondered over his thought Inuyasha noticed that they had reached the end of the forest. In front of them stood two unicorns that seemed like they were ready for a fight.
Suddenly they transformed into two young girls one with a bow and arrow ready to shoot. The other had two swords draw; they both were ready to attack the group until Starfire stepped forward. “Katana, Arrow. It's us. Starfire and Pluto. We bring mortals with us.”
“Young ones we didn't realize it was you.” the one with the swords said as she returned the swords back to their sheaths. “We were ready to attack.”
“Don't worry about it Katana; you're just doing your job.” Pluto said with a smile. He started towards the two girls and nodded as he passed them. Starfire gestured for Kagome and the others to follow him. They walked down a small path towards a large village with a castle sitting in the middle of it. To the group's surprise everything was made from metal or stone, it reminded Kagome of her time.
“Pluto who were they?”
“They are Rotokian. Rotokian are unicorns that are born to fight. The have a family weapon which they are named after and train with it. They fight till they are either killed or produce an heir.”
“That sounds terrible.” Kagome turned back to see the two unicorns standing at the beginning of the path.
“I know. But it's their culture and we can't interfere.” Pluto replied. The group walked through the village and saw many unicorns in both human and horse form. Young unicorns ran up to Pluto and Starfire asking them questions about Kagome and the others. Kagome was surprised how the children reacted to Inuyasha; they seemed to be amused by him. As they got closer to the castle, Kagome saw a warrior in blue armor, who had a spear strapped to her back. The warrior looked up with her black eyes and smiled in their direction; a young child ran from behind her and handed flowers to Sango and Kagome.
“Thank you. Pluto who is he?”
“He is Starbrite, son of Starlite and Moonbrite.”
“Oh, he's adorable.”
“Yeah. Hey Guardian.” Pluto said as they approached the warrior who was watching Starbrite.
“Hello Pluto. I see you have some mortals with you.”
“Yes Guardian. That god son of yours is full of energy today.”
“Yes, yes he is.” The warrior turned to face Kagome and the others. “Allow me introduce myself, I'm Guardian Neptune. Most call me Guardian.”
“Whatever.” Inuyasha turned away from the warrior.
“Well looks like someone is a tough guy.” giggled Neptune. “So do I get to know their names?”
“This is Sango, Kagome, Inuyasha, and Miroku.” Starfire said as she pointed to each of them.
“Pleasure.” Neptune bowed and turned away to attend to the Starbrite.
“Come on, let's get you guys inside.” Starfire gestured to the castle. It wasn't like most castles, it was made of metal and it was more than three stories tall. They entered the castle and walked down a long hallway to a large throne room. On the throne sat a beautiful young girl with purple eyes and gold hair. She rose when she saw the group enter the room. “Hello Swanalow.” Starfire bowed slightly to the girl.
“Hello my young ones. Why have you returned so soon and who are your friends?”
“Princess Swanalow these are mortals that must have fell accidentally into our world. This is Kagome, Sango, Inuyasha, and Miroku.” Pluto replied as he bowed.
`Princess? I wonder why she only addressed Pluto and Starfire as young ones?' Sango thought as she bowed to the princess.
“It's a pleasure to meet you all of you. Now I insist that you stay here until the Sun Warriors find a way to get you home. I won't take no for an answer. Sanota, Roccao. I want you to take them to the guest quarters and attend to their needs until dinner.” A woman and man emerged from the side of the room and bowed to the princess. Then they gestured for Kagome and the other to follow them. Pluto and Starfire nodded to let them know it was okay. Miroku lead the way as the group left the room.
As soon as the group was out of the room Swanalow turned to Starfire and Pluto and asked, “Will we be able to get them home?”
“We won't know till we talk to the Ancient Warrior. She will know.” Starfire nodded to agree with Pluto.
“Try to make them comfortable. It's hard to be in a strange world.”
“Yes Swanalow.” the two warriors bowed and left the room.
Meanwhile Sanota and Roccao lead Inuyasha and the others to a large room that had four beds. “You'll stay here.” the woman said.
“Um… can we know which one of you is Sanota or Roccao?” Miroku asked.
“I'm Roccao.” the man said.
“And I'm Sanota.”
“Your unicorns also?” Sango asked. They both nodded.
“Rest now and we will come in a couple of hours to get you cleaned up.” Roccao said as they both left the group alone in the room. Each member of the group took a bed and laid down to get some sleep since they were exhausted. A few hours passed when Roccao returned to wake them from their slumber. He directed Sango and Kagome to one bathroom and Inuyasha and Miroku to another. After cleaning up and changing clothes the group met back up in what Sanota called the infirmary.
The group was greeted by a woman wear a dark green outfit with a crest on it that stood for healing. “Hello. I'm Green Hawk. I just have to make sure you're all right.” Green Hawk checked everyone with a little difficulty from Inuyasha, but she told them that they were fine and directed them down the hall to where Pluto was standing talking to Starfire and two other girls.
The two girls look a like but you could tell that they weren't twins like Moonstriker and Starfire. One had green eyes like Pluto's and the other had deep blue eyes. They stared as Kagome approached Pluto. “Hello Pluto.”
“Hello Kagome. I'd like you to meet my sisters. Princess Sun and Princess Saturn.”
“You have sisters?” Kagome asked in shock looking at the two girls.
“Yes. Sun is my younger sister and Saturn my older sister.” Pluto replied. Kagome looked at Pluto and started to blush when she realized she was gawking at him. Sun noticed this and looked at her sister who nodded to let Sun know she noticed it too. Saturn quickly grabbed Starfire and pulled her away from the group as Sun started to ask how Kagome how she ended up here.
“What's going on Star?”
“With what?”
“Kagome and my brother?”
“Oh. Pluto saved her and she seems to be attracted to him. But she has no idea he's with Snowflake. And the best part is that Inuyasha is jealous because he cares about Kagome a lot.”
“You're kidding.” Saturn said trying to hold back her laughter.
“No. He was giving Pluto dirty looks all the way here.”
“Well maybe we should separate them.”
“How? She is just smitten when she's with Pluto.”
“We'll figure something out.” Saturn reassured her before she turned back to the group. “Sango and Miroku right? You must be hungry.” Sango and Miroku didn't have time to answer before Saturn grabbed them and pulled them away.
“Come on Kagome I'll show you around.” Pluto said as he offered his arm to Kagome which she eagerly accepted. Inuyasha shot Pluto another dirty look as Sun and Starfire shook their heads.
“I'm going to talk to Swanalow.” Sun announced as she walked away from Inuyasha and Starfire.
`This is going to be interesting.' Starfire thought as she noticed that Inuyasha's fist began to shake.
