Chapter 25: Burning hot

Traveling was a joy that was hard to describe other than freeing. It was the ultimate freedom to be out amongst the trees and grass free of any sort of gate or walls. The sun was warm and the weather was warming up with the threat of summer in the near future. I enjoyed the warm sun and even looked forward to the hot rays it would soon produce.

As we traveled I noted the few wrinkles that adorned both Sango and Miroku's faces but noted they were the wrinkles that came from happiness.

Wrinkles at the corners of their mouths from smiles they had given with the gentle beginnings of crows-feet around their eyes. Silver sparkled in their hair but hadn't yet taken over. They were aging but I could say they were aging well and it hadn't bothered me as much as I thought it would.

We had reached the village of demon hunters that Miroku and Sango had rebuilt and resettled and that I had at one time occupied.

It was larger and the population had grown in the years I had been gone but as Kirara flew over and came to halt villagers of all ages gathered around us in excitement. I saw recognition in the eyes of those gathered around and was given an enthusiastic welcome. I found myself lost in the many familiar faces around as once again I was shown how short a humans lifespan was when compared my own or that of a pure demon.

Before me stood a young man who was tall with muscle but his eyes were Sango's and his grin was Miroku's and I knew right away that he was Katsuro.

“It's been forever InuYasha,” he said with his wide grin and sparkling earthy eyes.

“It has. I do believe that you and Ryusei could be the same height now. I find it unfair that you both tower over me.”

Katsuro laughed and scratched at a scar atop the bridge of his nose which still held its freckles and those across both of his cheeks.

“I feel young again seeing you,” He said and as he said it I looked down at the two young ones wrapped around his legs and knew his was a grown man and no longer the quiet child from the past.

“You shouldn't, I see you have two fine young boys of your own.”

“If only it were two,” a beautiful young woman stated beside him.

She was a real beauty with her long ebony locks that shined like the wings of a raven, bow like lips pursed in an amused smile with her belly just beginning to show under her kimono with a young boy in her arms and twin girls at her side.

Katsuro laughed and leaned in to give her a small kiss on the cheek, “Sorry my dear.”

He grinned at me, “Seems twins are in her family as well and thus far we were blessed with three sets and our little Kairi here,” he said as he took his lone son from his wife's arms.

“And where is Hitomi,” I asked looking around at the many faces.

“She is her mother's child and is currently out with her youngest sister and brother defeating the evils that plague our world,” said Miroku as he took the two boys from his son's legs and gave them a large hug.

I followed mutely behind Miroku and Sango as they made their rounds and said my greetings to those I knew and those I didn't. Many stared at me with awe which was something I was unused to and even though I preferred it to horror or disgust it still took some getting used to and unnerved me a tiny bit.

We had a large feast in celebration of new and old friends and the village celebrated and told stories of the past, of friends and family lost and found. I was asked to tell a story and I thought about which to tell and it came to me as I saw a lovely young lady clad in armor came to sit at our fire.

“Once long ago lived a girl child who was born in luxury and wanted for naught, whose beauty and brains were envied by all but this girl child lived a sad and restless life. She was like a song bird in a golden gilded cage and all she longed for was freedom.”

All eyes seemed locked on me as I spoke and the young lady came to sit across from me, “This child became a young lady and this young lady had the heart of man as she taught herself the art of hiding and escape and so she put these new found skills to use as she flew from her cage. She explored while she had her freedom and saw new sights, learned new songs, new stories and ate and drank new food and drink. Still she couldn't quench her thirst for freedom and always she was returned to her gilded cage only she shared her knowledge and happiness with the other caged birds.”

Children scooted closer and adults listened intently as I continued on.

“A great scary four legged beast came to the land but he caused no harm and seemed only to explore and so the beast and the beauty met. They say that two souls can find each other and that they can join without a word needed and that is what happened. The beast became a handsome man of godly prowess and the young lady a great princess and though life had separated them, love had brought them together. Love is a great thing and brings great happiness and with their love the princess became ripe with child.”

I saw Miroku and Sango's knowing looks and I pushed onward, “The Princess was promised to another and locked away in a hidden cage but her suitor a great warrior had found her and newly birthed child and in anger killed her while she used her body to shield her child of love. Her handsome beast rushed to her side wounded from a great battle and defeated her murderer before reviving her and sending her and their child out of harms way before he succumb to his wounds and died for his love.”

I stopped there and grinned standing up and dusting off my hakama.

“Oh, please don't say it ends there!”

“Please say there's more!”

Shouts from young and old called out to me as I began to leave the fire.

“What happened,” someone asked.

It was Miroku's voice that answered, “The Princess raised a fine son who was a mix of both beast and beauty and he became a great warrior who still lives to this day.”

I could feel the eyes on my back as I found the small hut given to me for my stay and retired for the night.

As I lay down on soft furs and blankets my mind wandered back to my story and then through my own strange life and I found myself missing my own children and oddly enough my brother. I turned on my side and felt a strange tickling sensation on my cheek. I swiped my finger along my cheek and stared at the wetness there in the dark and thought myself foolish for the odd emotion that had brought the tears before closing my eyes and allowing sleep to claim me.

To Be Continued…

Sorry for the wait everyone. My mother has been in and out of the hospital. It's been a trying few months. So glad 2016 is almost over. Happy Holidays and Happy New Year~!
