Review
Thank you, you guys for being patient with me. I just have been having some problems at home and I guess I just kinda locked myself in La-La land for a while . . . THANXIE POO! SMOOCHES! MWAH!MWAH!!!Please Review . . . it makes me feel happy that people actually read ma story!!!lol
"I don't want to risk you guys getting hurt so I'm putting up this barrier, as long as you stay in it you'll be all right, okay?"
She asked "Yes," said and eager Sien apparently answering for both them. With that she walked away toward the hot spring trusting her staff.
He waited until she was out of hearing range, the Sien looked at his sister square in the eye and approached her.
"Okay, what is wrong with you? Why do you have such a problem with Kagome all of the sudden? When you first met her you were fine with her?!" He asked a bit peeved.
"What’s wrong with me?! What wrong with you?! How can you just let someone replace our mother like that?!" Katen shouted back at her brother. After that there was a long silence. Sien couldn't believe what he was hearing, how could his sister possibly believe that he had forgotten and replaced their mother. The, he started laughing, which caused his sister to look at him as if he were a tap dancing halepio on a stick (lmao!). "You really think that I replaced mom?! Is that what you think? It seems to me that you’re the one that has the problem, not me . . . " Katen looked at him.
"I have the problem?! You’re the one that let that woman take place of the woman who was responsible for your very existence on this planet; the woman who died protecting you and me! How dare you tell me that I have the problem?!"
Silence
"No, you are the one with the problem, do you really believe that mother would have wanted us to have to fend for ourselves? Do you really think that she wanted us to be by ourselves for the rest of our lives?! Did you really not know your own mother so much? Give her some credit Katen. She was not that selfish!" Sien screamed. This had been the most confrontational even of his life and was being forced to act so much more then his age. His sister on the other hand had always acted very mature, and very quiet also. She seemed so closed off, but not like this. She had never acted like this before. He thought that she would be at least 20 before she acted the way she was now. She had bearly spoken a single word since they had found her. "So what happened to change you from when we found you? You were so happy. You were so glad that she had found you?" He asked her looking down at the dirt beneath his little feet.
"What happened? I saw you acting as if our mother had never existed. I knew that I would too begin to act the same way in time. I would not, I will not allow myself to do that-" But she was quickly cut off. "Like what, grateful? She has protected you, fed you, taken care of you, given you new armor that she made herself from demon hide, the traditional way, and there’s something wrong with me?! Listen to yourself will ya!" He screamed angrily at his little sister. She had always acted as if she was older, she had always acted as if she was dominant to him. But not now, he needed to assert himself and get through her stubborn thick skull. She didn't reply. She couldn't reply. She didn't know what to say to that. He was right . . . he was right and she hated it. She just wasn't ready for a new mother.
"I'm not ready for a new mother okay, just leave me alone . . . " That’s all she said before she turned her back to him. He knew that now it was up to her to open her eyes and look into one of the most wonderful things that ever going either to happen to her or to reject it and disown it. He could do nothing more then just wait and see.
That fight had really taken a lot out of him. He looked at his sister, almost not blinking. Then his vision got smaller and faded out until he was left with nothing but darkness. He knew he would not be able to stay asleep for too long considering that he was now restless. But he didn't care, he would take what he could get. He slumped to the side and finally, with a light thump his body landed on the soft ground and was fast asleep. His sister, hearing the noise turned around to face her brother fast asleep. She thought for a second. 'Can I ever get over mother? Am I ever going to accept her? No, Im not, I don't even know why I'm asking myself this, I already know.' She stood up, her body only measuring a small two foot three. She exited the barrier, as she did though, she felt something wash over her, maybe it was the feeling of safety that she had gotten used to while with that woman. She couldn’t stand it now, so with that, she ran. She ran and didn't look back. She didn't think. She just ran. She didn't regret. She just ran. She ran until her little legs and feet forced her to stop. Because she was running so much she started to loose balance and that was it, she fell. With her face in the dirt the last thing she heard before she passed out was voices, and the drop of her lone tear, the only tear she would ever shed ever again, she vowed to herself.
Sien was asleep, he slept and slept. Then he felt as if there was something very wrong. He woke up, very slowly though. He sat up and looked up. He was by himself. He did not see his sister anywhere. He then heard humming. He turned around and saw his mother's very colorful hair bobbing up and down. She had her eyes closed. She was very happy, very relaxed. But then she opened her eyes and that bliss was gone. She looked at Sien with a very distraught look. "Where's Katen?" She asked trying to have that attitude that nothing is wrong. Overly optimistic some call it. But when Sien didn't say anything that was out the imaginary window. She ran up to him and grabbed him by the shoulders. "Where is Katen Sien?" She asked, but the desperation clear in her voice.
"I don't know. I fell asleep and when I woke she was gone. Im sorry, we got into an argument and she got upset and I guess she ran away." Sien sobbed into his mothers stomach while he wrapped his arms around her. But her being that kind woman, she hugged him close and rubbed his head. "It’s okay, its not your fault. Now do you have any idea about where she might go?" She asked tenderly. He shook his 'no' in her stomach. "Okay, well lets go look for her." By this point Sien was sobbing uncontrollably. "Its okay Sien, we'll find her, everything is going to be fine, just wait and see." She stood up with him in her arms and walked off, but not before grabbing her staff and strapping it to her back. They walked and walked, all in the direction Sien said that he smelt her scent. Though she wasn't sure if it was right considering that there were so many other different scents that were mixed into air. But he was all she had, considering that they didn't have the doll, she had taken it and never let it go, not even to bath. But she trusted Sien, so she did not say anything. It was almost night now, and she was worried sick, but she never showed it, for Sien’s sake as well as her own.
Katen woke up to see green eyes looking back at her. She blinked wide so her eyes would get used to the lack of light that there was compared to how much light there was when she first passed out. But in and instant she put on an uninterested look. She was back to her cold self. She hoped out of males arms, who also had red hair. She didn't even look at them, there were three of them, they felt weird. She didn't look at any of them. She merely walked away. She was almost out of their little clearing when the apparent human that was dressed in green clothes stopped her. "Where do you think you're going?" He said to her a bit louder then necessary. He reached out for her shoulder but she snapped her teeth at him.
"OW! He bit me! The punk bit me!" He screamed out holding his now bleeding hand. "Refer to me a male again and I will hurt you" she said in a tone that made the man in green keep his mouth closed. "I can't believe you thought she was a boy Urameshi! It so obvious she’s a girl! I mean come on! You have no right to talk 'bout' me no more!" The one dressed in light blue screamed, a little too loud for her taste. "If continue to speak at such a volume I will definitely hurt you beyond repair human." She said, anger and irritation dripping from her voice, all of the sudden thunder started clapping in the skies above.
"Wow, it was clear as day a couple of seconds ago . . . " The one in blue said dumbfounded. "Do you have powers over lightning and thunder or something?!!!" He continued to scream. She squinted at his volume. All of the sudden a lightning bolt struck him and he was electrocuted fiercely. "Well obviously dumbass," the one who was earlier identified as 'Urameshi' said. "I told you to lower your volume" Katen said holding in a growl, which was obvious. She started to walk away when the man that she had seen when she had first woken up stopped her. "Your hurt, let me help you, my name is Kurama." He said, but she continued to walk. The out of nowhere a black blur flashed in front of her. She looked up and saw what could be her father. A man with black with a white star burst toward his head. He wore all black and she could tell that he was carrying a sword.
"Go back" that was all he said, but she didn't listen, she just stood there and glared back up at him, which he was doing the same to her. "No," was all she said. "You are being disrespectful now go," he said and kicked her, she went flying and landed with a plane look on her face, her back to the dirt. "I said no. I’m fine!" She screamed. "No, you’re not," he said and hoped back in the tree. "He's right, your legs and feet are very hurt, look," he said pointing to the said body parts. He was right. He feet were covered in blood, along with her legs, which were covered by gashes. "I don't care, I'm leaving," she needed to leave now, she could feel then getting close the trail of her scent. She always resented that about her older brother, he could always track better then her. He could track better then most people. But she knew that in his current state it would be a while before he would find her. He was probably crying like a little wimp right now. She never understood that. Wasn't he supposed to be the older one, and she the younger one? Shouldn't he be the tough one, and she be the one crying? She didn't care at the current moment. So she walked back to the direction she was going in and started to run. She ran quite fast actually, all they could see was a blur of the color of her armor. "Wow, that was weird," Yusuke said. "Yeah, and is it me, or could she have passed to be shorty's kid?" Kuwabara asked stupidly too only be followed by a huge branch hitting him on the head and passing out. "Hn." Was what he said after said branches was thrown. "No, seriously Hiei, she really could have," Kurama said sincerely. "Well she’s not, that I can assure you of," and that was as far as that discussion was to be taken . . . for now.
She continued to run. She was a bit peeved that they would not let her leave. Who were they to tell that she had to stay? She didn't even know them! Ooh, and that one in the black. How dare he kick her? Who did he think he was. 'He had no right, just because he looked like me, and talked like me, and acted like me . . . wow, that’s creepy . . . And was it me or did he smell, the tiniest bit like that un worthy woman that Sien had replaced our mother with? This is too confusing!' She thought thinking that any moment now she would be getting a massive head ache. But thankfully, she was spared. Back in the clearing, everyone was quiet, enjoying it actually. Ever since Hiei had knocked out Kuwabara, it had been really nice. But not for Hiei, why had that little girl smelt like her? Why did she smell like Kagome? Where they traveling together or did they just pass by? He had to know. So, without anybody noticing he too was gone in a blur. It was a couple second before something had blocked her way, not something, someone. That insufferable black blur. As she now called it.
"What do you want?" She said upset that he had followed her.
"I want to know whom you were traveling with?" He said with even more coldness in his voice
"Why should I tell you? Last time I checked, I don't help people who kick me in the stomach," she said even angrier.
"You will answer me."
"Oh, it seems as if I have something that you want. I don't think that you are in the position to tell me what to do now. I hold all the cards now don't I?" She said smugly and was almost trying to cheer victory over him.
"I don't think so, I can kill you any second that I please, now you can tell me, or you can die." It was like a contest to them, see who could and would hold the most malice and coldness in their voices. But at his reply she let out a growl, it was good while it lasted.
"I was traveling with my older brother and some woman who had taken him in." She said in defeat.
"What was her name" He commanded, not asking?
"I believe it was Kimiko." No reaction.
"Or was it Kaymolin?"
"I can't remember" She finally said.
"Well, I guess we're going to stay here until you do" he said with a grin.
"..." She just sat down. She honestly didn't remember and she knew that this guy was serious. He on the other hand was in a tree in the blink of an eye.
"Kliami, no"
"Kitana, no" She was desperate to remember she needed to go before they got her, then it hit her.
"I can't remember the name, but if you really want to know, just wait here, I'm running away from them and I know my brother already picked up the trail by now and are most likely to be coming through here any ways." He thought about this for about two and some half seconds. He didn't have time to wait. He needed to know now!
"No, now give me a name."
"Ugghhh, Kimala, no"
"Kaina, no"
"Kagilra -ooo wait, I almost got it . . . KAGOME, that’s it!" She shouted, but there was no smile on her face. That was all he needed, Kagome was obviously taking care of these demons. He jumped down from his perch in the tree and was right in front of her.
"For future reference, when you hold all the cards, the person is most likely to not kill you, that is if you're the only thing the have left." He said to her and was gone. He though he might as well help her out. Something told him that Shippo was getting some new siblings.
With that she took off. She didn't have any time to waste. She knew that her so-called brother and that woman were on their way looking for her But what she didn't understand was why that insufferable man wanted to know that woman’s name. Maybe he knew her? But if he did then she would know her name . . . right? This was just too confusing for her. So she ran and kept running. But what she didn't know was that, that 'insufferable man' as she called him wasn't gone. He in fact was following her. But she was too preoccupied to notice which he found very amateur like; he would have to work on that with her. He knew that he would end up taking care of the brat . . . a child to others. But what he didn't like was that he was running from her. What could have upset her so much, it didn't matter. All he knew was that she was making it a lot harder for Kagome to do what she set out to do because she was not going to rest until she found the kid.
She kept running. He had to give her, her props. She had great endurance, just horrible balance from what he saw at the clearing when she first appeared. He looked ahead in the branches, and there was a branch coming up ahead. He used his mystic third eye to knock it down. He normally didn't use it for telekinetic purposes because he never needed to but now he thought would be a fitting time. There was but a short purple glow from under the bandana that adorned his head and the next thing anybody knew BAM! The branch fell right in front of the girl. Unfortunately for her, she couldn't stop in time and went face first into the rotting trunk. Had it not been for the fact that it rotting and could have fallen at any moment she would have begun to suspect that something just wasn't right. She looked around a bit confused and kept going. Oh, Hiei would fun with this. The next thing he knew he had tossed aside a boulder and covered it with surrounding litter and humus with his eye once again. The boulder had been submerged in the ground at least 7 feet. He was sure that she wouldn't be able to get out of that. She was a mere 1 foot to the remaining six of the hole. She ran faster and faster and faster oblivious to what was up ahead to meet her very uncordial like.
Pat pat pat pat, you could hear her feet going faster and faster and faster trying to desperately get away as quickly as possible. AAAAAAAAA!!!! THUMP! That was all you heard, and then quiet. Hiei smirked at his work. He jumped off of the branch of the tree and stood in front of the hole. She was glaring daggers at him, but as usual it didn't faze him. "You did this! You were probably the branch too!" She screamed angrily at him while pointing very accusingly at him. He just stared at her with a cocky smirk on his face. "I did nothing, my hands were never on any of these 'things' that you' re talking about" he said choosing his words carefully. "I helped you and this is what I get in return?!"
"No one told you to help me."
"You wouldn’t leave me alone!"
"Hn, not my problem" he said with his hands in his pockets while looking up at the sky as if he could care less, which he did.
"But I still helped you! Why would you do this!?"
"I never said I would be nice to you, you obviously don't know me"
"Hu" was all she said. He raised his eyebrow at this and looked at her out of the corner of his eye as if she were just a molecule on a rock that was stuck to the bottom of his shoe.
"Hn"
"Hu," this could have gone for hours . . .
"Hn"
"Get me out" she said plainly with a matching look.
"Hn"
She growled at him and went back to her normal self
"Hu" and that was the last thing she said to him before he disappeared in a blur, as usual.
'I hope he knows that I'm telling Kagome once she finds me about him . . . ' She thought evilly just thinking of the outcomes.
A couple of hours passed before she began to hear voices. She recognized them. Followed be matching scents. 'Yep, they found me, man I could have actually gotten away!' She thought irritated at the short demon that got her in here. "Momma, I think she’s in that hole!" She heard a voice that she recognized as her brothers. Then he saw Kagome’s head and shoulders pop out and over the hole's opening, her pig tails drooping down into it, they were so long that Katen was able to grab onto one of them and climb up. Kagome, thinking she might make another brake for it grabbed her by the gruff of her shirt and armor. "And just where were you missy?" She asked with a disdain look on her face. "Hu" she said and turned away. "From now on, you have to travel on my shoulder, and Im not leaving you alone anymore," she said and headed back in the direction she came from, she knew she had lost a whole days travel but at least she found her.
It was a while before anyone spoke again. "Hu, do you know anyone who wears all black, has black hair and-" but she couldn't finish, her mouth was almost glued shut. She couldn't open it. She started to panic and started to try and pry it open with her hands and failed. She ended up falling off of Kagome's shoulder and on the ground, her eyes wide as soccer balls. "Uh, are you okay Katen?" Sien asked innocently. Inside Katen’s head she heard that guys voice. 'What did you do to me?!' She shouted in her mind as loud as possible. 'Don't even think about it . . . ' Was all she heard and her lips were once again in her control. "That was weird," Sien said, Kagome nodded in agreement. "Are you okay?" Sien finished. No response. "So what were you saying about a man?" Kagome asked clueless. "Hu," that was all she said. Kagome just shrugged and continued walking barefoot once Katen was once more perched on her left shoulder mirror to her older brother. But when you looked at them, you can't even tell who’s the oldest. By their personalities you would assume Katen was but anyone who thought that was wrong . . .
In a tree not too far of Hiei sat and watched his mate to be walk off. He wished he could have gone up to her and said something but he knew that Kurama would catch her scent and that would just ruin a lot of things, at least complicate them beyond belief. 'Besides, it sure is going to be fun to see that girl’s expression when she finds out that Im her 'father' and that was a moment worth waiting for.'
They traveled for the rest of the day without stopping except to get fruit from the nearby trees when they got hungry. By the time they reached the spot that they where located when she had first ran away it was already dark as space. Kagome then told them that they would stay here until daybreak. Kagome looked at Katen with a look. "Don't even think about running." She looked at her, Katen just replied with her now trademark 'Hu' and turned away. "Uhuh," Kagome replied and went to get firewood. She was close enough that she would know if she tried to run, but far enough so that you couldn't tell. She was hoping that they would talk about why she had run away, although she was almost positive that Sien knew. Kagome didn't want to ask, she was afraid she would seem nosy, which was absurd because she was technically their mother now. But she still didn't want to ask. She listened into the campsite, but was disappointed when she heard nothing. "That was unnecessary and you know it," she finally heard Sien say to obviously his sister. "You know why I did what I did. You know I'm not ready," she said, confusing Kagome. 'What is she not ready for?' She thought and then thoughts that they may be in danger filled her mind. Oh she hoped it was nothing like that. "Ready for what?! What could keep you from being ready?! Ready for what?!" Sien screamed a bit loudly which was different for her to have to listen to. She was always so used to him being cheery. This was a new side of him she never about. "You know well what I'm talking about . . . " Katen said to her brother, almost sad. "No, I don't know, I'm not a mind reader . . . " She heard Sien reply. "You know Im not ready to have a new mother! You know now leave me alone!" She screamed at the top of her lungs.
Sounds of wood dropping to the floor could be head as Kagome dropped the wood. She gasped and covered her mouth, her eyes widening. How could she not have seen it before? How could she be so stupid?! How could she expect that poor child to accept her after losing her mother the way she did? She should have known. But what could she do. This is something that could not be forced. She was going to have to wait it out and hope that the girl would eventually warm up to her an accept her. She was on the verge of tears. What it something she did, did she do something wrong? She wanted to know, but knew that there was no one there to answer her. She knew that it would be a while till she would allow her, that is saying that she would, to get close to her. She continued to gather wood holding back tears, but one got through her lashes and her eyes started to get a bit puffy. She went back to the campsite and dumped the wood on the ground. As she was arranging it properly for a fire Sien spoke. "Momma, are you okay?" He asked referring to her eyes. "Oh yeah, I, I, I stubbed my foot on a piece of wood and it really hurt." She said trying to force a small laugh out. The night soon overtook all of them. They were all exhausted and they went to sleep. But not one had a peaceful night.
Sien had a dreamless sleep. That is until the night progressed. He started to dream about the day that it happened. The day his real mother was taken from him. How he had to hide while he had heard his whole village being slaughtered and he helpless.
Sien’s POV
There we were sitting in our hut. Things had been going wonderful. They had decided to move to this demon village after our aunt passed in the mountains. She had been living with us. She was fathers’ sister. She had come about a month ago saying that she knew her health was failing and was positive she didn't have too much time left. She said she wanted to spend her last moments with her only family. Fathers’ parents had passed the year I was born and there was no one else. We were the only family she had and she was the only family we had. We decided to leave the mountains after he scattered her ashes over the side of the mountain gone into the wind. But that was almost three months ago and things had finally calmed down. Father was feeling better, after all it was his sister. He was out hunting now for dinner. We had finished our lunch about an hour ago and now, Katen sitting next to me, and our drinking tea. I looked over to my left and saw mother sitting in front of the entry way with the flap over her shoulder. She was looking out with a weak but a sincere smile. "Mother, is anything wrong?" I asked her, she looked just too depressed.
"Yes, Im fine, I'm just looking out, waiting for your father to return. I love you, and I love you too, Katen." She said to us very softly and nurturing.
"I love you too!" I said and bounded for her, forgetting my tea.
"Hu" was all Katen said, but mother knew that what she meant.
Once I was in her arms she looked at him and started to rub my head. "Are you sure your not my baby boy and not my big man?" She said to me. Mother always thought that me and Katen were born out of order. She would ask me that, and to Katen: "Are you sure your not Big lady and not my baby girl?" She never showed any emotion, well not usually, but you could tell, if you really knew her that she appreciated the attention. We still didn't know why she was the way she was. Not that there’s anything wrong with her. We just figured that she would have had to have picked up from somewhere and/or someone. But no, no one that we knew was like that. Father would always say that she’s the way she is because she can be and because there was something in her future that would require her to be, or maybe that, that was the type of people she would be around, her surroundings and would need to fit in with them. I never believed it, I just say that she’s that way because of aunties death, even though it doesn't make sense because she was like that before she died. I guess I just don't know why, I don't even think she knows why . . .
I sat in mothers arms, I was so comfortable and was almost asleep when father arrived, but he was empty handed. "What happened?" She asked him a bit confused as to why there was no catch in his hands or arms or back. "We need to get somewhere safe." He said very seriously, this scared me, I looked over to Katen and she was fine, almost as if no one had said anything. "What’s wrong?" She asked holding me a bit tighter, not wanting to let go. "There coming . . . " That was all he said, but we all knew what he was referring to. Everyone knew that there was a tribe of angry and lethal bird demons, the Xenops. They never bothered anyone unless you did something. The thing about these birds was that they were very easily irritated. The smallest thing could set them off. "What . . . how much time do we have?" She asked as I grasped her. I looked over and Katen was gone. She wasn't stupid enough to try and go up against the demons, she must have gone for cover. But what I didn't know was that we would not see each other for the longest time, that we would be become orphans.
"I don't think we have much time."
"How Much time!" Mother was getting upset now
"I'd say 20 minutes . . . " Father said looking at the ground
"We have to warn everyone, and you know that."
"I know, but what about Sien and Katen?"
"I’ll take them to cover, but we have to warn everyone." And that once those words left her mouth she started running to all the huts telling everyone, me perched on her shoulder. All I could think about was how Katen would get in trouble for leaving the way she did. I didn't know how bad things were going to be. I didn't know. They had finally warned everyone when stomping sounds were being heard in the distance, the giant beasts could be heard. Mother ran back as fast as she could to the hut, our hut. The next thing I knew she was digging up floor boards, then she pulled one up and stuffed me into a room and looked at me, father then came next to her she blew a kiss and he hugged me. I was confused, I don't know why they would do this as if they would never again. But l didn't know how right I was. They looked at me one last time before a huge explosion came and the roof was blown of, they winced and quickly shut the door. I could hear father telling mother that Katen had gone for cover and then there were screams and thunder clapping, it was mother. She had been using her powers over lightning and thunder to attack. I could hear winds going at high speeds, father, soon water come, and cyclones and even tsunamis could be expected. I could hear screams and battle cries. At one point I heard a baby. I felt horrible, I wanted to go out and fight, I didn't want to just sit back and wait, but I knew mother wanted this for me, father wanted me to carry on his blood. I knew it.
Hours passed and the noises were getting louder and louder, but they were made by less. I heard mother screams, then father, and that was the last time I heard them. I knew, I wasn't stupid, I knew what happened. But something told me that they went together. That was what comforted me. But I knew I would have to train myself and try to find Katen, though I knew that the odds of the happening where slim. I waited two more fays before coming out. I didn't want to risk the Xenops still being out and having my parents die in vain. When I stepped out of the hidden room, I saw everything that was there before I went in, only in rubbles. I looked down and saw mother and father, hand in hand, their faces covered by many cuts and bruises. I examined their bodies more and saw that there were holes in their chests. He didn't even want to think about how their deaths must have been. But at least they were at peace now. Then it came, I broke down, I had been holding everything in. I felt all the pain of the past three days all in one blow. My tears came out uncontrolled and seemed to be never ending. I knew he was alone now. But I wondered about what had happened to Katen. She would probably come back, that is if nothing else got to her. But at the time, I wasn't thinking clearly and I left . . .
End POV
End Dream
Sien woke up with a start. He looked around and saw that no one else was having a good night either. He looked over, but Katen looked the same as any other time. But unfortunately Kagome was not, she was turning and tossing, she looked scared . . .
Kagome was having a very strange dream . . . She once again walked through that cold grey place, hadn't she had this dream already, she kept hearing that same thing.
"Hello, is anybody there. What do you want with me?" She said trying to figure out what the source of the voce was. But nothing, she was starting to get scared and something deep inside told her to run. She ran and ran towards the voice and kept running, but no matter how much she ran she never got any closer to it
She woke up and saw Sien awake too. "You had a bad night too?" He asked his mother’s figure. She nodded. Then Katen woke up and the sun rose over the horizon. They decided that since they were already awake that they would go ahead and start walking. She needed to get to that damnable valley. She wanted to go home. As they walked, they felt something, the only one who wasn't curious was Kagome. She knew who it was. A whirl wind came and stopped right in front of them. Kagome didn't have time for this, she knew that she was almost to the valley. But then a thought struck. "Hey Koga, sweety, honey, baby . . . " She said to him and batted her eyelashes. "Oh, so you finally realized who you belonged to ey?" He said to her, it took everything in her to keep her from berating him with 'Women are not objects' speech and the 'Especially me!' one that came with the other one. "Yeah I did" and she hugged him. "Tell me that, that is not our father . . . " Katen said, Sien was just dumbfounded. "Oh, I see you found ya sister Sien, well good for you!" He said and started to rub his, Sien’s, head. He then went to rub Katen’s head. "So wuts-OWWW! SHE BIT ME!" He screamed, she once again snapped her teeth. "Oh, I'm sorry, but I need a favor to ask you . . . " He stared at her. "So that’s why you were acting all nice . . . what do you need?" He asked a bit disappointed. "Well, I need you to watch Sien and Katen for me, please. I can't take them with me cause they may get hurt . . . please!" She begged him. "So you want me to watch over Sien and the devils spawn?!" Koga said. "Hey, she is not the devil’s spawn! But, please!" She pleaded with him . . . and of course, being the weak one in the 'relationship' he had to oblige. "Fine, I'll do it, for a kiss . . . " He said with a smirk. He would not come out of this empty handed. "Fine," she said, palmed his cheeks and smooched him. "There, now can you watch them?" He nodded yes but was unable to speak because he apparently had no more legs, but jelly, and was stumbling around drooling with a stupid smile. "Thank you, now can you take them, I'm almost to where I have to be. And Koga, if I don't come back, please take good care of them . . . " She said to him, this made him go back to normal and he nodded. There was no way he was going to be able to talk her out of it, and he knew that.
So Koga put Sien and Katen on his shoulder and was off. He knew that this was something Kagome needed to do on her own and that there was no way that he was going to be able to stop her. This was something she needed to do, even though he didn't quite know why. So there she was all alone, Kagome was by herself walking to the valley, something told her that today would be the day.
With the mortal’s things were very tense and quiet. Without most of the usual people at the temple, it had turned to be a very depressing place. And of all the people the one that was being affected the most was poor little Shippo. He had been completely closed off lately. Everyone could tell, he didn't eat, he didn't sleep all he did was sit in front of the shrine and prayed for his mothers safe return. He had decided to go back to his room and look at that pendant once more. He had ignored it and was now thinking that he shouldn't. After all, it was a gift from the gods. It must have some sort of purpose, they didn't do that every time someone prayed for help and guidance. He returned to his room and picked up. It was right on his bed, right where he left it. The moment he picked it up it started to glow again and he heard it. His mothers voice. "Who are you?! What do you want with me?!" She screamed. He immediately screamed back, "It’s me SHIPPO! Momma!" He screamed but he didn't get any response. 'Maybe I have to wait, that’s what I'll do, and I'll check tomorrow . . .

Time Traveling Screws Everything Up
~Chapter 32~
by: gcdv
They traveled for days. Sien was constantly trying to get his sister to say something more to Kagome. He kept thinking that he hated her. He didn't want to make his new mother upset. Days passed and still nothing. Then one day they stopped for a break. Their mother just couldn't resist the call of the o-so relaxing hot spring. "Okay, we're going to stop for a little bit. I want to bathe and you guys are going to both also so come on." She said to her children beckoning them. "Okay, but can I take a bath with Katen alone. I haven't seen her in a long time and I was wondering if I could get some alone time, please?" Sien said to her as he hoped onto her shoulder. She looked at him. It seemed like such an odd request. But he did have a valid point. "Umm, sure, I don't see why not. But I still need you two to be safe." She walked up to the middle of their campsite and planted her staff deep into the ground. Kagome didn't let go immediately. The mother of the two young thunder demons closed her eyes and concentrated, then from the top of the staff a barrier erected. It created a dome around them.~Chapter 32~
by: gcdv
"I don't want to risk you guys getting hurt so I'm putting up this barrier, as long as you stay in it you'll be all right, okay?"
She asked "Yes," said and eager Sien apparently answering for both them. With that she walked away toward the hot spring trusting her staff.
He waited until she was out of hearing range, the Sien looked at his sister square in the eye and approached her.
"Okay, what is wrong with you? Why do you have such a problem with Kagome all of the sudden? When you first met her you were fine with her?!" He asked a bit peeved.
"What’s wrong with me?! What wrong with you?! How can you just let someone replace our mother like that?!" Katen shouted back at her brother. After that there was a long silence. Sien couldn't believe what he was hearing, how could his sister possibly believe that he had forgotten and replaced their mother. The, he started laughing, which caused his sister to look at him as if he were a tap dancing halepio on a stick (lmao!). "You really think that I replaced mom?! Is that what you think? It seems to me that you’re the one that has the problem, not me . . . " Katen looked at him.
"I have the problem?! You’re the one that let that woman take place of the woman who was responsible for your very existence on this planet; the woman who died protecting you and me! How dare you tell me that I have the problem?!"
Silence
"No, you are the one with the problem, do you really believe that mother would have wanted us to have to fend for ourselves? Do you really think that she wanted us to be by ourselves for the rest of our lives?! Did you really not know your own mother so much? Give her some credit Katen. She was not that selfish!" Sien screamed. This had been the most confrontational even of his life and was being forced to act so much more then his age. His sister on the other hand had always acted very mature, and very quiet also. She seemed so closed off, but not like this. She had never acted like this before. He thought that she would be at least 20 before she acted the way she was now. She had bearly spoken a single word since they had found her. "So what happened to change you from when we found you? You were so happy. You were so glad that she had found you?" He asked her looking down at the dirt beneath his little feet.
"What happened? I saw you acting as if our mother had never existed. I knew that I would too begin to act the same way in time. I would not, I will not allow myself to do that-" But she was quickly cut off. "Like what, grateful? She has protected you, fed you, taken care of you, given you new armor that she made herself from demon hide, the traditional way, and there’s something wrong with me?! Listen to yourself will ya!" He screamed angrily at his little sister. She had always acted as if she was older, she had always acted as if she was dominant to him. But not now, he needed to assert himself and get through her stubborn thick skull. She didn't reply. She couldn't reply. She didn't know what to say to that. He was right . . . he was right and she hated it. She just wasn't ready for a new mother.
"I'm not ready for a new mother okay, just leave me alone . . . " That’s all she said before she turned her back to him. He knew that now it was up to her to open her eyes and look into one of the most wonderful things that ever going either to happen to her or to reject it and disown it. He could do nothing more then just wait and see.
That fight had really taken a lot out of him. He looked at his sister, almost not blinking. Then his vision got smaller and faded out until he was left with nothing but darkness. He knew he would not be able to stay asleep for too long considering that he was now restless. But he didn't care, he would take what he could get. He slumped to the side and finally, with a light thump his body landed on the soft ground and was fast asleep. His sister, hearing the noise turned around to face her brother fast asleep. She thought for a second. 'Can I ever get over mother? Am I ever going to accept her? No, Im not, I don't even know why I'm asking myself this, I already know.' She stood up, her body only measuring a small two foot three. She exited the barrier, as she did though, she felt something wash over her, maybe it was the feeling of safety that she had gotten used to while with that woman. She couldn’t stand it now, so with that, she ran. She ran and didn't look back. She didn't think. She just ran. She didn't regret. She just ran. She ran until her little legs and feet forced her to stop. Because she was running so much she started to loose balance and that was it, she fell. With her face in the dirt the last thing she heard before she passed out was voices, and the drop of her lone tear, the only tear she would ever shed ever again, she vowed to herself.
Sien was asleep, he slept and slept. Then he felt as if there was something very wrong. He woke up, very slowly though. He sat up and looked up. He was by himself. He did not see his sister anywhere. He then heard humming. He turned around and saw his mother's very colorful hair bobbing up and down. She had her eyes closed. She was very happy, very relaxed. But then she opened her eyes and that bliss was gone. She looked at Sien with a very distraught look. "Where's Katen?" She asked trying to have that attitude that nothing is wrong. Overly optimistic some call it. But when Sien didn't say anything that was out the imaginary window. She ran up to him and grabbed him by the shoulders. "Where is Katen Sien?" She asked, but the desperation clear in her voice.
"I don't know. I fell asleep and when I woke she was gone. Im sorry, we got into an argument and she got upset and I guess she ran away." Sien sobbed into his mothers stomach while he wrapped his arms around her. But her being that kind woman, she hugged him close and rubbed his head. "It’s okay, its not your fault. Now do you have any idea about where she might go?" She asked tenderly. He shook his 'no' in her stomach. "Okay, well lets go look for her." By this point Sien was sobbing uncontrollably. "Its okay Sien, we'll find her, everything is going to be fine, just wait and see." She stood up with him in her arms and walked off, but not before grabbing her staff and strapping it to her back. They walked and walked, all in the direction Sien said that he smelt her scent. Though she wasn't sure if it was right considering that there were so many other different scents that were mixed into air. But he was all she had, considering that they didn't have the doll, she had taken it and never let it go, not even to bath. But she trusted Sien, so she did not say anything. It was almost night now, and she was worried sick, but she never showed it, for Sien’s sake as well as her own.
Katen woke up to see green eyes looking back at her. She blinked wide so her eyes would get used to the lack of light that there was compared to how much light there was when she first passed out. But in and instant she put on an uninterested look. She was back to her cold self. She hoped out of males arms, who also had red hair. She didn't even look at them, there were three of them, they felt weird. She didn't look at any of them. She merely walked away. She was almost out of their little clearing when the apparent human that was dressed in green clothes stopped her. "Where do you think you're going?" He said to her a bit louder then necessary. He reached out for her shoulder but she snapped her teeth at him.
"OW! He bit me! The punk bit me!" He screamed out holding his now bleeding hand. "Refer to me a male again and I will hurt you" she said in a tone that made the man in green keep his mouth closed. "I can't believe you thought she was a boy Urameshi! It so obvious she’s a girl! I mean come on! You have no right to talk 'bout' me no more!" The one dressed in light blue screamed, a little too loud for her taste. "If continue to speak at such a volume I will definitely hurt you beyond repair human." She said, anger and irritation dripping from her voice, all of the sudden thunder started clapping in the skies above.
"Wow, it was clear as day a couple of seconds ago . . . " The one in blue said dumbfounded. "Do you have powers over lightning and thunder or something?!!!" He continued to scream. She squinted at his volume. All of the sudden a lightning bolt struck him and he was electrocuted fiercely. "Well obviously dumbass," the one who was earlier identified as 'Urameshi' said. "I told you to lower your volume" Katen said holding in a growl, which was obvious. She started to walk away when the man that she had seen when she had first woken up stopped her. "Your hurt, let me help you, my name is Kurama." He said, but she continued to walk. The out of nowhere a black blur flashed in front of her. She looked up and saw what could be her father. A man with black with a white star burst toward his head. He wore all black and she could tell that he was carrying a sword.
"Go back" that was all he said, but she didn't listen, she just stood there and glared back up at him, which he was doing the same to her. "No," was all she said. "You are being disrespectful now go," he said and kicked her, she went flying and landed with a plane look on her face, her back to the dirt. "I said no. I’m fine!" She screamed. "No, you’re not," he said and hoped back in the tree. "He's right, your legs and feet are very hurt, look," he said pointing to the said body parts. He was right. He feet were covered in blood, along with her legs, which were covered by gashes. "I don't care, I'm leaving," she needed to leave now, she could feel then getting close the trail of her scent. She always resented that about her older brother, he could always track better then her. He could track better then most people. But she knew that in his current state it would be a while before he would find her. He was probably crying like a little wimp right now. She never understood that. Wasn't he supposed to be the older one, and she the younger one? Shouldn't he be the tough one, and she be the one crying? She didn't care at the current moment. So she walked back to the direction she was going in and started to run. She ran quite fast actually, all they could see was a blur of the color of her armor. "Wow, that was weird," Yusuke said. "Yeah, and is it me, or could she have passed to be shorty's kid?" Kuwabara asked stupidly too only be followed by a huge branch hitting him on the head and passing out. "Hn." Was what he said after said branches was thrown. "No, seriously Hiei, she really could have," Kurama said sincerely. "Well she’s not, that I can assure you of," and that was as far as that discussion was to be taken . . . for now.
She continued to run. She was a bit peeved that they would not let her leave. Who were they to tell that she had to stay? She didn't even know them! Ooh, and that one in the black. How dare he kick her? Who did he think he was. 'He had no right, just because he looked like me, and talked like me, and acted like me . . . wow, that’s creepy . . . And was it me or did he smell, the tiniest bit like that un worthy woman that Sien had replaced our mother with? This is too confusing!' She thought thinking that any moment now she would be getting a massive head ache. But thankfully, she was spared. Back in the clearing, everyone was quiet, enjoying it actually. Ever since Hiei had knocked out Kuwabara, it had been really nice. But not for Hiei, why had that little girl smelt like her? Why did she smell like Kagome? Where they traveling together or did they just pass by? He had to know. So, without anybody noticing he too was gone in a blur. It was a couple second before something had blocked her way, not something, someone. That insufferable black blur. As she now called it.
"What do you want?" She said upset that he had followed her.
"I want to know whom you were traveling with?" He said with even more coldness in his voice
"Why should I tell you? Last time I checked, I don't help people who kick me in the stomach," she said even angrier.
"You will answer me."
"Oh, it seems as if I have something that you want. I don't think that you are in the position to tell me what to do now. I hold all the cards now don't I?" She said smugly and was almost trying to cheer victory over him.
"I don't think so, I can kill you any second that I please, now you can tell me, or you can die." It was like a contest to them, see who could and would hold the most malice and coldness in their voices. But at his reply she let out a growl, it was good while it lasted.
"I was traveling with my older brother and some woman who had taken him in." She said in defeat.
"What was her name" He commanded, not asking?
"I believe it was Kimiko." No reaction.
"Or was it Kaymolin?"
"I can't remember" She finally said.
"Well, I guess we're going to stay here until you do" he said with a grin.
"..." She just sat down. She honestly didn't remember and she knew that this guy was serious. He on the other hand was in a tree in the blink of an eye.
"Kliami, no"
"Kitana, no" She was desperate to remember she needed to go before they got her, then it hit her.
"I can't remember the name, but if you really want to know, just wait here, I'm running away from them and I know my brother already picked up the trail by now and are most likely to be coming through here any ways." He thought about this for about two and some half seconds. He didn't have time to wait. He needed to know now!
"No, now give me a name."
"Ugghhh, Kimala, no"
"Kaina, no"
"Kagilra -ooo wait, I almost got it . . . KAGOME, that’s it!" She shouted, but there was no smile on her face. That was all he needed, Kagome was obviously taking care of these demons. He jumped down from his perch in the tree and was right in front of her.
"For future reference, when you hold all the cards, the person is most likely to not kill you, that is if you're the only thing the have left." He said to her and was gone. He though he might as well help her out. Something told him that Shippo was getting some new siblings.
With that she took off. She didn't have any time to waste. She knew that her so-called brother and that woman were on their way looking for her But what she didn't understand was why that insufferable man wanted to know that woman’s name. Maybe he knew her? But if he did then she would know her name . . . right? This was just too confusing for her. So she ran and kept running. But what she didn't know was that, that 'insufferable man' as she called him wasn't gone. He in fact was following her. But she was too preoccupied to notice which he found very amateur like; he would have to work on that with her. He knew that he would end up taking care of the brat . . . a child to others. But what he didn't like was that he was running from her. What could have upset her so much, it didn't matter. All he knew was that she was making it a lot harder for Kagome to do what she set out to do because she was not going to rest until she found the kid.
She kept running. He had to give her, her props. She had great endurance, just horrible balance from what he saw at the clearing when she first appeared. He looked ahead in the branches, and there was a branch coming up ahead. He used his mystic third eye to knock it down. He normally didn't use it for telekinetic purposes because he never needed to but now he thought would be a fitting time. There was but a short purple glow from under the bandana that adorned his head and the next thing anybody knew BAM! The branch fell right in front of the girl. Unfortunately for her, she couldn't stop in time and went face first into the rotting trunk. Had it not been for the fact that it rotting and could have fallen at any moment she would have begun to suspect that something just wasn't right. She looked around a bit confused and kept going. Oh, Hiei would fun with this. The next thing he knew he had tossed aside a boulder and covered it with surrounding litter and humus with his eye once again. The boulder had been submerged in the ground at least 7 feet. He was sure that she wouldn't be able to get out of that. She was a mere 1 foot to the remaining six of the hole. She ran faster and faster and faster oblivious to what was up ahead to meet her very uncordial like.
Pat pat pat pat, you could hear her feet going faster and faster and faster trying to desperately get away as quickly as possible. AAAAAAAAA!!!! THUMP! That was all you heard, and then quiet. Hiei smirked at his work. He jumped off of the branch of the tree and stood in front of the hole. She was glaring daggers at him, but as usual it didn't faze him. "You did this! You were probably the branch too!" She screamed angrily at him while pointing very accusingly at him. He just stared at her with a cocky smirk on his face. "I did nothing, my hands were never on any of these 'things' that you' re talking about" he said choosing his words carefully. "I helped you and this is what I get in return?!"
"No one told you to help me."
"You wouldn’t leave me alone!"
"Hn, not my problem" he said with his hands in his pockets while looking up at the sky as if he could care less, which he did.
"But I still helped you! Why would you do this!?"
"I never said I would be nice to you, you obviously don't know me"
"Hu" was all she said. He raised his eyebrow at this and looked at her out of the corner of his eye as if she were just a molecule on a rock that was stuck to the bottom of his shoe.
"Hn"
"Hu," this could have gone for hours . . .
"Hn"
"Get me out" she said plainly with a matching look.
"Hn"
She growled at him and went back to her normal self
"Hu" and that was the last thing she said to him before he disappeared in a blur, as usual.
'I hope he knows that I'm telling Kagome once she finds me about him . . . ' She thought evilly just thinking of the outcomes.
A couple of hours passed before she began to hear voices. She recognized them. Followed be matching scents. 'Yep, they found me, man I could have actually gotten away!' She thought irritated at the short demon that got her in here. "Momma, I think she’s in that hole!" She heard a voice that she recognized as her brothers. Then he saw Kagome’s head and shoulders pop out and over the hole's opening, her pig tails drooping down into it, they were so long that Katen was able to grab onto one of them and climb up. Kagome, thinking she might make another brake for it grabbed her by the gruff of her shirt and armor. "And just where were you missy?" She asked with a disdain look on her face. "Hu" she said and turned away. "From now on, you have to travel on my shoulder, and Im not leaving you alone anymore," she said and headed back in the direction she came from, she knew she had lost a whole days travel but at least she found her.
It was a while before anyone spoke again. "Hu, do you know anyone who wears all black, has black hair and-" but she couldn't finish, her mouth was almost glued shut. She couldn't open it. She started to panic and started to try and pry it open with her hands and failed. She ended up falling off of Kagome's shoulder and on the ground, her eyes wide as soccer balls. "Uh, are you okay Katen?" Sien asked innocently. Inside Katen’s head she heard that guys voice. 'What did you do to me?!' She shouted in her mind as loud as possible. 'Don't even think about it . . . ' Was all she heard and her lips were once again in her control. "That was weird," Sien said, Kagome nodded in agreement. "Are you okay?" Sien finished. No response. "So what were you saying about a man?" Kagome asked clueless. "Hu," that was all she said. Kagome just shrugged and continued walking barefoot once Katen was once more perched on her left shoulder mirror to her older brother. But when you looked at them, you can't even tell who’s the oldest. By their personalities you would assume Katen was but anyone who thought that was wrong . . .
In a tree not too far of Hiei sat and watched his mate to be walk off. He wished he could have gone up to her and said something but he knew that Kurama would catch her scent and that would just ruin a lot of things, at least complicate them beyond belief. 'Besides, it sure is going to be fun to see that girl’s expression when she finds out that Im her 'father' and that was a moment worth waiting for.'
They traveled for the rest of the day without stopping except to get fruit from the nearby trees when they got hungry. By the time they reached the spot that they where located when she had first ran away it was already dark as space. Kagome then told them that they would stay here until daybreak. Kagome looked at Katen with a look. "Don't even think about running." She looked at her, Katen just replied with her now trademark 'Hu' and turned away. "Uhuh," Kagome replied and went to get firewood. She was close enough that she would know if she tried to run, but far enough so that you couldn't tell. She was hoping that they would talk about why she had run away, although she was almost positive that Sien knew. Kagome didn't want to ask, she was afraid she would seem nosy, which was absurd because she was technically their mother now. But she still didn't want to ask. She listened into the campsite, but was disappointed when she heard nothing. "That was unnecessary and you know it," she finally heard Sien say to obviously his sister. "You know why I did what I did. You know I'm not ready," she said, confusing Kagome. 'What is she not ready for?' She thought and then thoughts that they may be in danger filled her mind. Oh she hoped it was nothing like that. "Ready for what?! What could keep you from being ready?! Ready for what?!" Sien screamed a bit loudly which was different for her to have to listen to. She was always so used to him being cheery. This was a new side of him she never about. "You know well what I'm talking about . . . " Katen said to her brother, almost sad. "No, I don't know, I'm not a mind reader . . . " She heard Sien reply. "You know Im not ready to have a new mother! You know now leave me alone!" She screamed at the top of her lungs.
Sounds of wood dropping to the floor could be head as Kagome dropped the wood. She gasped and covered her mouth, her eyes widening. How could she not have seen it before? How could she be so stupid?! How could she expect that poor child to accept her after losing her mother the way she did? She should have known. But what could she do. This is something that could not be forced. She was going to have to wait it out and hope that the girl would eventually warm up to her an accept her. She was on the verge of tears. What it something she did, did she do something wrong? She wanted to know, but knew that there was no one there to answer her. She knew that it would be a while till she would allow her, that is saying that she would, to get close to her. She continued to gather wood holding back tears, but one got through her lashes and her eyes started to get a bit puffy. She went back to the campsite and dumped the wood on the ground. As she was arranging it properly for a fire Sien spoke. "Momma, are you okay?" He asked referring to her eyes. "Oh yeah, I, I, I stubbed my foot on a piece of wood and it really hurt." She said trying to force a small laugh out. The night soon overtook all of them. They were all exhausted and they went to sleep. But not one had a peaceful night.
Sien had a dreamless sleep. That is until the night progressed. He started to dream about the day that it happened. The day his real mother was taken from him. How he had to hide while he had heard his whole village being slaughtered and he helpless.
Sien’s POV
There we were sitting in our hut. Things had been going wonderful. They had decided to move to this demon village after our aunt passed in the mountains. She had been living with us. She was fathers’ sister. She had come about a month ago saying that she knew her health was failing and was positive she didn't have too much time left. She said she wanted to spend her last moments with her only family. Fathers’ parents had passed the year I was born and there was no one else. We were the only family she had and she was the only family we had. We decided to leave the mountains after he scattered her ashes over the side of the mountain gone into the wind. But that was almost three months ago and things had finally calmed down. Father was feeling better, after all it was his sister. He was out hunting now for dinner. We had finished our lunch about an hour ago and now, Katen sitting next to me, and our drinking tea. I looked over to my left and saw mother sitting in front of the entry way with the flap over her shoulder. She was looking out with a weak but a sincere smile. "Mother, is anything wrong?" I asked her, she looked just too depressed.
"Yes, Im fine, I'm just looking out, waiting for your father to return. I love you, and I love you too, Katen." She said to us very softly and nurturing.
"I love you too!" I said and bounded for her, forgetting my tea.
"Hu" was all Katen said, but mother knew that what she meant.
Once I was in her arms she looked at him and started to rub my head. "Are you sure your not my baby boy and not my big man?" She said to me. Mother always thought that me and Katen were born out of order. She would ask me that, and to Katen: "Are you sure your not Big lady and not my baby girl?" She never showed any emotion, well not usually, but you could tell, if you really knew her that she appreciated the attention. We still didn't know why she was the way she was. Not that there’s anything wrong with her. We just figured that she would have had to have picked up from somewhere and/or someone. But no, no one that we knew was like that. Father would always say that she’s the way she is because she can be and because there was something in her future that would require her to be, or maybe that, that was the type of people she would be around, her surroundings and would need to fit in with them. I never believed it, I just say that she’s that way because of aunties death, even though it doesn't make sense because she was like that before she died. I guess I just don't know why, I don't even think she knows why . . .
I sat in mothers arms, I was so comfortable and was almost asleep when father arrived, but he was empty handed. "What happened?" She asked him a bit confused as to why there was no catch in his hands or arms or back. "We need to get somewhere safe." He said very seriously, this scared me, I looked over to Katen and she was fine, almost as if no one had said anything. "What’s wrong?" She asked holding me a bit tighter, not wanting to let go. "There coming . . . " That was all he said, but we all knew what he was referring to. Everyone knew that there was a tribe of angry and lethal bird demons, the Xenops. They never bothered anyone unless you did something. The thing about these birds was that they were very easily irritated. The smallest thing could set them off. "What . . . how much time do we have?" She asked as I grasped her. I looked over and Katen was gone. She wasn't stupid enough to try and go up against the demons, she must have gone for cover. But what I didn't know was that we would not see each other for the longest time, that we would be become orphans.
"I don't think we have much time."
"How Much time!" Mother was getting upset now
"I'd say 20 minutes . . . " Father said looking at the ground
"We have to warn everyone, and you know that."
"I know, but what about Sien and Katen?"
"I’ll take them to cover, but we have to warn everyone." And that once those words left her mouth she started running to all the huts telling everyone, me perched on her shoulder. All I could think about was how Katen would get in trouble for leaving the way she did. I didn't know how bad things were going to be. I didn't know. They had finally warned everyone when stomping sounds were being heard in the distance, the giant beasts could be heard. Mother ran back as fast as she could to the hut, our hut. The next thing I knew she was digging up floor boards, then she pulled one up and stuffed me into a room and looked at me, father then came next to her she blew a kiss and he hugged me. I was confused, I don't know why they would do this as if they would never again. But l didn't know how right I was. They looked at me one last time before a huge explosion came and the roof was blown of, they winced and quickly shut the door. I could hear father telling mother that Katen had gone for cover and then there were screams and thunder clapping, it was mother. She had been using her powers over lightning and thunder to attack. I could hear winds going at high speeds, father, soon water come, and cyclones and even tsunamis could be expected. I could hear screams and battle cries. At one point I heard a baby. I felt horrible, I wanted to go out and fight, I didn't want to just sit back and wait, but I knew mother wanted this for me, father wanted me to carry on his blood. I knew it.
Hours passed and the noises were getting louder and louder, but they were made by less. I heard mother screams, then father, and that was the last time I heard them. I knew, I wasn't stupid, I knew what happened. But something told me that they went together. That was what comforted me. But I knew I would have to train myself and try to find Katen, though I knew that the odds of the happening where slim. I waited two more fays before coming out. I didn't want to risk the Xenops still being out and having my parents die in vain. When I stepped out of the hidden room, I saw everything that was there before I went in, only in rubbles. I looked down and saw mother and father, hand in hand, their faces covered by many cuts and bruises. I examined their bodies more and saw that there were holes in their chests. He didn't even want to think about how their deaths must have been. But at least they were at peace now. Then it came, I broke down, I had been holding everything in. I felt all the pain of the past three days all in one blow. My tears came out uncontrolled and seemed to be never ending. I knew he was alone now. But I wondered about what had happened to Katen. She would probably come back, that is if nothing else got to her. But at the time, I wasn't thinking clearly and I left . . .
End POV
End Dream
Sien woke up with a start. He looked around and saw that no one else was having a good night either. He looked over, but Katen looked the same as any other time. But unfortunately Kagome was not, she was turning and tossing, she looked scared . . .
Kagome was having a very strange dream . . . She once again walked through that cold grey place, hadn't she had this dream already, she kept hearing that same thing.
"Hello, is anybody there. What do you want with me?" She said trying to figure out what the source of the voce was. But nothing, she was starting to get scared and something deep inside told her to run. She ran and ran towards the voice and kept running, but no matter how much she ran she never got any closer to it
She woke up and saw Sien awake too. "You had a bad night too?" He asked his mother’s figure. She nodded. Then Katen woke up and the sun rose over the horizon. They decided that since they were already awake that they would go ahead and start walking. She needed to get to that damnable valley. She wanted to go home. As they walked, they felt something, the only one who wasn't curious was Kagome. She knew who it was. A whirl wind came and stopped right in front of them. Kagome didn't have time for this, she knew that she was almost to the valley. But then a thought struck. "Hey Koga, sweety, honey, baby . . . " She said to him and batted her eyelashes. "Oh, so you finally realized who you belonged to ey?" He said to her, it took everything in her to keep her from berating him with 'Women are not objects' speech and the 'Especially me!' one that came with the other one. "Yeah I did" and she hugged him. "Tell me that, that is not our father . . . " Katen said, Sien was just dumbfounded. "Oh, I see you found ya sister Sien, well good for you!" He said and started to rub his, Sien’s, head. He then went to rub Katen’s head. "So wuts-OWWW! SHE BIT ME!" He screamed, she once again snapped her teeth. "Oh, I'm sorry, but I need a favor to ask you . . . " He stared at her. "So that’s why you were acting all nice . . . what do you need?" He asked a bit disappointed. "Well, I need you to watch Sien and Katen for me, please. I can't take them with me cause they may get hurt . . . please!" She begged him. "So you want me to watch over Sien and the devils spawn?!" Koga said. "Hey, she is not the devil’s spawn! But, please!" She pleaded with him . . . and of course, being the weak one in the 'relationship' he had to oblige. "Fine, I'll do it, for a kiss . . . " He said with a smirk. He would not come out of this empty handed. "Fine," she said, palmed his cheeks and smooched him. "There, now can you watch them?" He nodded yes but was unable to speak because he apparently had no more legs, but jelly, and was stumbling around drooling with a stupid smile. "Thank you, now can you take them, I'm almost to where I have to be. And Koga, if I don't come back, please take good care of them . . . " She said to him, this made him go back to normal and he nodded. There was no way he was going to be able to talk her out of it, and he knew that.
So Koga put Sien and Katen on his shoulder and was off. He knew that this was something Kagome needed to do on her own and that there was no way that he was going to be able to stop her. This was something she needed to do, even though he didn't quite know why. So there she was all alone, Kagome was by herself walking to the valley, something told her that today would be the day.
With the mortal’s things were very tense and quiet. Without most of the usual people at the temple, it had turned to be a very depressing place. And of all the people the one that was being affected the most was poor little Shippo. He had been completely closed off lately. Everyone could tell, he didn't eat, he didn't sleep all he did was sit in front of the shrine and prayed for his mothers safe return. He had decided to go back to his room and look at that pendant once more. He had ignored it and was now thinking that he shouldn't. After all, it was a gift from the gods. It must have some sort of purpose, they didn't do that every time someone prayed for help and guidance. He returned to his room and picked up. It was right on his bed, right where he left it. The moment he picked it up it started to glow again and he heard it. His mothers voice. "Who are you?! What do you want with me?!" She screamed. He immediately screamed back, "It’s me SHIPPO! Momma!" He screamed but he didn't get any response. 'Maybe I have to wait, that’s what I'll do, and I'll check tomorrow . . .
