The Child that fall from the sky
The gang just finishes the battle at Naraku's castle. Inu Yasha succeeded cutting through Naraku's barrier with the red Tessaiga and almost finish Naraku once and for all. Since Naraku ran away. Now they walk the country side. Looking for any signs of Naraku where about. Demons keeps surface ever where they go.
Inu Yasha was walking one day thinking of the past, and thinking where Naraku could hide now. Then he heard a woman screamed
“Oh! SHIT!!”
He looked up to where the sound was coming from.
*PLOW*
As the dust clears you would find Inu Yasha face down on the ground and a Suniko on top of him.
“Ouch!” Both of them moan.
Suniko sat up still kneeling on the ground. Now I'm really pissed off! What a shity day this has become.
“'Dozy' my ass!”
She stands up and looks up to the heavens where she has fallen with an angry look. Inu Yasha was still on the ground seeing stars.
“DOZY MY ASS!! THANKS FOR THE WARNING! ARE YOU TRYING TO KILL ME! AND WHAT ABOUT THE MY QUESTIONS! I STILL HAVE MORE QUESTIONS!! YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME TO ASK ONE QUESTION! I WOULD HAVE PICKED A DIFFERENT QUESTION! WHAT ABOUT SOME SURPLISES! LIKE SHAMPOO, SOAP, FOOD! MY FRINKING TOOTHBRUSH!!!!!! I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME, SAKURA!!!! WHEN I GET BACK WE ARE GOING TO WORK ON YOUR PEOPLE SKILLS AND IM GOING TO KICK YOUR ASS!!!! YOU BETTER BE LISENIONING TO ME!!! SAKURA! SAAKUURA!!!!!!!”
The group just stares at this strange girl yelling up the sky like she was talking to someone. But they couldn't see anyone.
Sango asked in a whisper, “Do you think she's mad person?”
Suniko dog ears she could hear her. She answers her question.
“Of course I'm mad! If you have a day like mine. You would be too.”
Suniko realize the impression she was making on them. She calm down. Went over to Inu Yasha to help him up.
“D- I mean Inu Yasha, are you ok?”
“You know who I am?”
She replied, “Yes, I was sent here to help you defeat Naraku.”
The group is leery. Miroku debates over if this is one of Naraku traps. Suniko could tell they don't believe her yet.
I need to prove to them I'm telling the truth without telling too much about who I am. I need to choose my words wisely.
She looks around looking for a place to sit out of the hot sun. She is tired and hungry. Seeing upon some trees providing some shade just couple of feet away.
“Let's get out of the hot sun. I will answer what question you have that I could answer.”
She started heading towards the trees and sat down at the base. The group follows still on their guard. They can tell she looks a lot like Inu Yasha. Inu Yasha notice this also. Suniko sit there with her eyes close. Try to look like she would not cause them any harm. Miroku was the first to spoke up.
“Who are you?”
“My birth name is Suniko. But as of today my name is Jubi. If you would like I will let only you guys to call me Suniko. But to anyone else and our enemy I'm Jubi.”
Kagome asked the next question.
“Who were you yelling at?” she still in shock of her encounter.
“The Priestess of the Oracle.”
Miroku have heard of them. “The maidens of wisdoms and knowledge. They serve the Great Oracle. No one has ever seen them. They say they are in a place where there is no time. The place was all power and life force comes from. They say they couldn't leave where the Great Oracle is. Out here in the world.” Miroku thought out loud. “So you from there?”
“No. I'm from a different time. I've been there thro. I do work for the Oracle as of today as her `airing boy'.”
Miroku was confused for she looks like a demon.
“How could a demon be close to the Priestess of the Oracle?”
Inu Yasha spoke up since she has arrived. He can tell she looks like a demon but his noise says she's human.
“Are you demon or human? You look like one but smell like a human.”
“That's because I am both.”
“So are you half demon?” asked Inu Yasha.
“No. I'm quarter demon.”
Sango asked in surprise, “Quarter? I never heard of a quarter demons before.”
“Like I just said I'm from a different time.” Suniko answered.
Kagome reach up to touch her ears. Suniko looked at her in shock. She pulls on them.
“OUCH! They've sanative.”
“I'm so sorry! I couldn't help myself. Are you from the future?”
Suniko was debating wither or not to tell them that just now. For it might lead to some question that she shouldn't answer.
“Yes.”
“Why do you look so much like Inu Yasha?” Kagome ask.
“Because I am a relative of him.”
All of them look at Inu Yasha then back at Suniko in shock.
Miroku asks, “Are you his daughter?”
Inu Yasha was shock. Him as a father?!
Suniko really doesn't like where this is going. I don't know what part of the journey they are on yet. Have Inu Yasha and Kagome admitted their love for each other yet or not. She knows she can't them the truth. She hates lying to her parents.
“Those typed of questions of the future I am not permitted to answer. As the Guarding of Time I have no family, no home. No past no future.”
I need to turn this conversation around. I think they are little more at ease around me now. It's time for me to ask the questions.
“Have far are you in the battling against Naraku?”
Inu Yasha and the others are confused with the questions.
“What do you mean?”
“Have you already meet Hakadoushi?”
“Who's Hakadoushi?”
Ok not there yet.
“Have you been on Mount Hakurei?”
“Mount Hakurei?! Why would we be there?”
They said in confusion. Ok. They're not that far. Suniko thought. Am I at the beginning?
“Have you found Naraku's castle and broken through his barrier with the red Tessaiga technique?”
“Yes I have just learned Red Tessaiga. That baster ran away. We are looking for where he had fled to. But all of these demons keep popping up every were we go. ” Said Inu Yasha.
“At least I'm not at the very beginning.” Suniko thought out loud.
Just then her stomach growl loudly.
“Excurse me. I am very hungry. Kagome, my have some of chips that's in you bag?”
“Sure. How did you know I have chips?”
Suniko pointed to her noise. “I can smell them.”
Kagome looked in her bag for the chips and handle it to her. Suniko took them and eat them like she haven't eaten in days.
As Suniko licking her fingers Miroku ask, “Do you know where he is?”
“If I got my timeline right. He fled to Mount Hakurei. All of these demons keeps popping up is because Naraku isn't around to absorb them. Naraku is counted on these. For he is attempting slowing ya'll down. So he would have more time to change his body.”
“Change to what?” Shippo asked.
“Removing his one weakness. His heart.”
“His heart?!” said Shippo.
“If what you are saying is true he would be more powerful than before.” said Miroku.
“Yeap. Once his heart is out of that body. You can cut him, burn him, dices him, destroy that body. And Naraku would still live.”
“Then what are we waiting for?! Let's hurry up and get to him before he finish!” said Inu Yasha as he stands up.
Suniko would rather sit for some more to rest up. But he is right. They need to hurry up for they are far from their destination.
The group agrees to let Suniko come along. They walk back on the dirt road heading towards Mount Hakurei.
Later that night the group made camp next to the river. Suniko went to the river to catch fish. Miroku and Sango went into the woods looking for some wood for the fire. Kagome and Shippo stay at the camp getting it ready for when her friends comes back. Inu Yasha stay close to Suniko. So he could keep his eyes on her. He haven't completely trust her yet.
Suniko was catching a lot of fish. Throwing it at Inu Yasha's feet.
“Is this enough fish? We have more than enough fish.”
“Just two more I eat a lot. For I have a big appetite. If you're bored you could start cleaning them.”
Inu Yasha growl then start cleaning them. Once the fish is caught and cleaned up they head back to camp. Miroku and Sango already came back with the wood and the fire is burning.
“WOW! That's a lot of fish!” said Shippo.
“Blame Suniko! She wanted a lot of fish that could feed a village seems like.”
Once the group is satisfied with the meal and start settle down to fall asleep. Suniko was sitting next to a rock for support so she too could get some sleep. But her mind wouldn't let her rest just yet. She could feel her blood boiling. When she couldn't stop thinking what happened earlier that day. When Sursana-ho rapes her and stole her family souls.
At the same time Inu Yasha and Suniko smelt a demon close by. Standing up at the same time alerting others that's a demon is coming. Heading towards the scent.
When they have arrived they found a snake eater demon. He wasn't that big. Suniko sat down with her legs cross and rest her head on her hands.
“What the hell you think you're doing?!” yelled Inu Yasha.
“He's not that strong. You could handle him. Don't worry I stay with Kagome and Shippo. Making sure no harm comes to them.”
“Oh great!! What great help you are coming out to be!”
The snake eater demon notice them started heading towards them. Inu Yasha, Miroku, and Sango went off to fight the demon. Suniko just sit there watching them. Studying them. Seeing how far their fighting abilities have come. There still improvements needed. If they are hoping to defeat Naraku. She was kind of hoping she would fight. So she could test out her new sword.
Then she heard something coming behind them. Standing up. She turns to look what it is.
“What is it?” asked Kagome.
“Snakes. Hundreds. No wait, thousands!”
“Snakes! I hate snakes!” said Shippo.
Suniko grab Shippo and Kagome then jump high in the air.
“Look at behind you!” yelled Suniko. Try to warn the others.
She lands on a tree branch. “
Why are there so many?” Kagome asked.
“I don't know yet. What I don't understand is why they are running towards the snake eater demon. Unless there's something they scare of more them him. That they are trying to run away from.”
Sango and Miroku were on Kirara looking down at the poisons snakes. Inu Yasha was using his claws killing them.
Then the ground shook.
“It must be deep underground.” Suniko said.
The snake eater demon ignored the team for he is more interested in the snakes it was like a buffed to him.
The trees that was couple yards away where the snakes was running away from was falling down one by one coming closer to the group. Over the trees tops you could see gray tentacles.
On the tree branch where Suniko, Kagome, and Shippo was on notice a poisons snake was about to bit Suniko leg. She jumps again high up in the air. This time she landed on the Snake eater's head.
“What the hell you doing, Jubi?!” Inu Yasha yelled.
“Protecting Kagome, of course! We are safer here for at the moment.” Suniko yelled back.
She then moves Shippo from her right hand to on top of her head.
“Shippo I would need this arm. Hold on to me.”
“Ok” As Shippo holding on tight.
Suniko then grabs her sword getting ready to fight. The snake eater demon moves around trying to catch the snakes. Kagome and Shippo hold on tight to Suniko. As Suniko was trying to get her grip on the demons head so they won't fall.
Then the grey demon with hundreds tentacles. Each of the tentacles was coming after Inu Yasha and Sango and Miruko. They fought off the tentacles. Each one they cut off two grew back in its place.
The snake eater demon started to run away. Then Suniko had no chose to kill it. She swings her sword around with one hand. So the sword would be pointed downwards. She stabs though its head.
As the demon fell down. She jumps again landing on the ground in front of the snake eater demon. The snake eater demon is now dead. She let go of Kagome.
“Stay right behind me, Kagome.” as she was cutting off the demon tentacles that was coming after them.
“Inu Yasha, use the Wind Scar! Aim it at the base of the demons stomach!”
Inu Yasha did as he told to do. It was a direct hit. The demon froze at first then the tentacles started to disappear. The rest of the demons body started to shrink leaving only small grey demon lying on the ground. Still moving, the demon tries to get back up to kill the group. Inu Yasha walked over to the little demon.
“That's the demon? This small thing?”
Then Inu Yasha cut the demon in half with ease.
The team regroups around the small dead demon.
“Suniko, how did you know to attack it there.” asked Miroku.
“I can smell that's where the blood was coming from. Attacking at the base where any demons blood is pimping from is its weak point. Without blood there's no demon. Demons blood is the strengths in all demons. That's what makes them different from human's strengths. Humans use spiritually and emotions for their strengths.”
“You should do know a lot about demons do you?” Sango asked for she didn't know that. And she is a demon slayer.
“I wouldn't be much of the Garden of Time if I didn't.” Suniko answered.
“How come you know so much?” Kagome asked.
“Ever since I could walk I've been in training in all different subjects.”
Inu Yasha just humph and started head back to camp. He notices she took care of the snake demon with ease. She made it look so easy. Her fight against the tentacles was more like a dance. Not breaking a sweat. He never has seen a person fight like that except Sesshomaru.
Heading back Inu Yasha walk next to Suniko.
“You look more like Sesshomaru when you fought. How come?”
Suniko was debate if it is ok to say who.
“Those types of questions I am not permitted to answer. But I guess I see no harm to let you know.” She lowers her voice so the others couldn't hear her. “I guess the reason I fight like him because he train me.”
Inu Yasha stop and look at her in stock. Sesshomaru trained her?! Sesshomaru? Why would he train someone like her?
“Don't think about it, Inu Yasha. For he is not my only teacher.”
