In every really good story there is I think one important fool. I’m talking about the kind of guy who so foolish, that he looks the truth of the situation right in the eye and be thinking ….nothing …nothing for that’s all he thinks nothing. In any story ten to one this fool is the main character. He doesn’t get it until its too late, to late to act! This story will be no exception, I personally really despise the main character in this story. So much so in fact I’ll be calling him the fool for most of the tale. To show you why I think he is a fool, I’m going to start this story not at the beginning, but close to the end. Well I hope the end anyway. We find are main character the fool emerging out an old shack, standing outside just in front of it looking around for someone. He had a peaceful, happy look on his face, not worried has to where she is. He thinking to him self, oh she just went out for some air, just took a few mins that’s all. He doesn’t see her at all, just the small village that he had come to know has a new home. A home that gave him a peace that he never knew could exist anywhere, or anytime. He loved the cool night air ,the gentle braze feeling nice on the foolish boys skin. How nice it was to be alive right now and how fantastic it was to be in this wonderful place. He stops looking for her and looks up at the night sky. Taking in the great view of the wonderful milky way above him. He shuts his eyes, listening to the wind rushing passed his demon dog ears that where place just slightly on top of his head, but bent down more to where human ears would have been. He smiles lightly and just as he is about to start looking again. The boy hears something coming from outside village, coming from the forest. His ears move up and down trying to find out what he’s hearing. Feeling puzzled thinking to him self its not a wolf a duck or anything like that…..sounds almost like a ..a SRCEAM! The fools eyes shoot open wide, a cold dark sensation grows and goes up his back. Fear takes hold over him. His mouth opening wide in shock. Before he panics, he jumps into the air landing a few feet away from the shack . Has he lands his right arm goes to grip his fathers old sword, holding it by the scabbard just below the grad of the blade, that was attached to his belt. He jets to the sound as fast as could! One foot in front of the other moving faster and faster with every step!! His eyes focused now just trying to get to the woods before its to late! Before she die’s, no time for fear or thought. Just run, run fast and run quick!!! He reaches the forest, and it got darker even with the moon shining bright in the sky with the stars. He moves his head wildly around, running fast. Looking ,trying to hear or see where the hell she is!. Then seeing far out something up head a dark outline of a demon, he could not tell what it was for sure, but at the point he didn’t give a carp! He stopped on a dim bent his knees back, getting low to the ground and in a flash leaped high out of the woods. Leaving a thick dust trail behind him in the air. As the boy gets above the tree line he then goes up high into the clouds! Pissed that he let his feeling gave the jump to much over. He looks down, and his body fallows, starting to fall back down to earth shooting him self forward and down rapidly. Drawing his sword, falling fast to the dark demon he now could see. Just as he is about to land on it he draws his sword. Has it comes out a large flash of yellow light, envelopes the area. It grew to an in creditable size and in one motion of his arm, cutting threw the demon like butter! Right in half! The boy lands only a foot away from the now cut in half demon on the ground. His right arm fully extended with no blood on the sword. The cut so clean and fast that there wasn’t even blood on the ground where the demon lay dead. His eyes closed and he puts away his blade, it shrinking back to normal size, slowly back into the scabbard. Breathing a sigh of relief that he saved his friend. A few feet away was his friend was sitting on the ground. He wiped sweat the had formed on his forehead from the panic he felt. The foolish boy smiled brightly walking over to the girl and putting his hand out to help her up, feeling thankful she was not harmed. The boy then said. “That was a close one, you should be more careful going out into the woods like that. I thought you knew better?” she stands up slowly not even looking at his hand when she gets up. He retracts his hand his face looking concerned. Wondering what was up, he looked at the girls face she seemed upset. Was she hurt some how, he thought? “Umm…hey you alright” he says in a low kind voice taking a step to her. Putting his hands lightly on her shoulders. Maybe he was scarred, he thought again noticing she was in fact shaking. However should would not make eye contact with him. “So now you worried, so now you care about my feelings!!!” she says sharply looking away from his face. Stepping away from him, trying to hide her own face from him. Her hair falling in front of her eyes. Her eyes starting to tear up. “ What are you going on about of cores I…..” she slapped the boy. It so fast he could not even believe what just happened. It didn’t hurt him, but a coldness went into his belly. Her hand hit his cheek, even her hand felt like ice. Couldn’t help but turn his face from it. After a moment he puts his hand on his cheek rubbing it disbelief, never thinking in a million years she would ever hit him like that. A friend a companion, someone he latterly almost die for on many occasions. Someone he saw as the person he could talk to. Why did she do this. What did he do? The boy sees the girls face tears in her eyes, he does not understand the fool. He did not see until a second later. Then after a second moment of thought a flash went threw his mind. He suddenly knew why she it him, he knew why she was upset, he new it all. The pain she was feeling came from the inside. Her heart, she loved the boy and the boy just then after all the s**t he had been threw with her just figured it out. He never caught on not once. The foolish boy I am talking about is me. My name is Kanta and I am the son of Inuyasha. And his is both his and my story.
THE SON OF Inuyasha THE WAR BETTWEEN TIME
Chapter one Alone, the fallen warrior boy and the girl who catches him Many people believe that being alone is the worst thing that could ever happen to anyone on this green earth. Their right it is, most of my life I’ve been alone since I was twelve. That was what I was thinking in my room at the time. As the days, months and now many years went by I often thought about being alone. More so at this point in time of my life. I was sitting on my bed my left leg hanging over the side of it, my right leg bent up close to my chest. I smoke an old cigarette that I found on the floor of my room from the other night. Looking out my window watching the rain fall one drop at a time. I could hear the each one has it hit the window, I love the rain it give me an excuse to stay inside. Songo hated the fact that I only leave my room only to eat and slay demons. However she does push me out of the house just to piss me off. No, I wish that was it. Its cause she cares about me. She says that I’m wasting my life, she is right but its not like I can hang out being what I am and all. Let me tell you being who I’ am sucks, my body was all sore I could barely move my pinky that night. Their was barely any light in my room. It was about three or four in the morning, the room was lit up by the street lights out side. I could hear the wind picking up outside of my window. I finished my cigarette putting it out on my bed sheets. Wishing that in some crazy way they catch on fire. I got up slowly, so much so in fact you would think I was thousand years old. As I get up I take a look around the room. Remembering ghosts from my past. My room was always a place of peace, it was the only place. I saw first the table in front of the window, I walked seven steps and lean in over it a little bit, looking down upon some old papers and pens. My legs shacking as I’m trying to keep myself from falling to the floor, I lean on my right arm against the desk holding my self up. I stare at the desk , I look over to the far right edge I see my mom and dad picture almost about to fall over, grabbed it holding it in my left hand and gazed at it. I always tried to guess every night what they where thinking just then. They seemed so happy my dad Inuyasha is holding my mother kagome in his arms. I gazed at it for a few more moments. I set the pic back on the desk and then put my weight back on my legs, pushing off the desk. Then turning right and look at my dads sword Tessalga. I had just put it back on its mantle only a few hours ago. “Dad…..” I said, I never figured out how to use it. I always bought it with me to battle thinking one day I would have the power to unleash it in combat. But to me the time to use it was getting shorter and shorter, as I get weaker and weaker. The battle I just went throw only hours ago, to put it simply I got my a** kicked in only a few seconds. If it was not for my buds I’d be dead. I kept thinking that whole time they should have let me die. As I was looking upon my dads sword I heard my door open slowly. “ You should be sleeping you know man.” I voice from the door said. “I know ….I cant after a battle I messed up…you know that.” I said, recognizing the voice was good old Tai. “ Don’t be like that dude….” He says sternly, he fully opens the door and was stepping into the room. “ That god dam tail got me right off the bat I should have jumped in time!!!” I said with a kind of grail to my voice. “Man you just had a bad day that’s all” “I’ve had a lot of those lately haven’t I” I said under my breath. “ Come man don’t do this to your self tonight, your coming to school with you cant act like this.” “ Good night Tai” I say in a lower voice my head held low has I put my hands in my jean pockets. I closed my eyes as he says good night and walks out of the room closing the door behind him. Hearing the door shut I keep standing there waiting for the sun to come up and the new day to begin. After a night of standing in one place for four or five hours I came out and walked down the stairs, into the kitchen seeing what you most of the time see with a family of seventeen, not adding myself or the parents. I see Songo with an old apiarian on that has tons of food, drink stains all over it. All her kids were young, but the oldest at seventeen Tai and Narfea at sixteen. All the others ranging from seven to twelve years. All crowding around her like a pack of hungry dogs waiting for some food, all talking at once. You can see why I don’t eat in the morning, ever! “SHUT THE ******** UP NOW!!!!!” Songo yelled out!!!!! All the kids stop talking immediately! Out of fear and quickly got into a line and got their food. All of them perfectly in order from tall to short like a army unit. It can get frightening in the house, apishly if she is in the room. Then again its also fun to make her hurt her husband too! You can always make her think he doing something perverted, or cheating. You just got to know when and where to push her button. That button make him in pain, and me laughing every time. I’m a demon so of course I’m evil! “ I see things are well Songy” I say with higher, happy voice pitch. Trying to act like I wasn’t up all night. “ fine my foot” she didn’t by it! “I’ll be going to school with Tai right?” I look around the room to see if he came down. Still keeping my voice has happy sounding has I could. It was a b***h to do, as looked down at the old hard wood floor. Looking at all the little crakes, also taking notice that the kittenish and the rest of the house were very warm. We all lived in a very small and very old two store apartment. Sometimes I wish their was a way I could get them something more. Like a three stores or something. Both apartment work and they sometimes have problems making ends meet. “That’s right you will dear here” she hands out food to the kids one by one. “he’ll be here in a sec. Anyway how are you feeling dear?” “Fine silly I didn’t get hit that bad why do you ask?” I give a carpy smile, nice and big. She just gives me a look and hands me some money. It was much like the look of death, but this was the look of upset anger then just plan anger. I hate that face I feel bad every time. “You go get your self some food before you get home Kent got it?” I sigh and take the money. Putting it in my sweat shirt pocket. “You know I will …MOM!!” I say loudly with sarcasm! “Your not wearing that are you.” She looked over me, like a Mom. My old baggy pants and my large blue sweat shirt, witch was stained with dirt from getting thrown to the floor during the fight. “ haha yup” I said. “Oh your no better then Inuyasha he throw on the same thing all the time. Never ever cared back 500 years ago, and he didn’t care when he settled down here in this time. He almost never took a bath at all, he smelled all the time. ….Well I guess your not all bad at lest you have shorter hair than he did.” she said bluntly as she pulled out a kitchen knife on the table and started cutting up little scarps of meet. “Yeah …how could a guy live with that.” “Yeah I know…were is your back pack.?” she asked looking up at me before she went back to cutting. “In the other room….look Songy I really think….” she cuts me off! Look your going to school and that’s that no buts!!!” she said in a strain voice. Sometimes I really think she can read my mind. She knew I was worried that the school would be attacked. That why I was being home schooled in the first place. Now however she thinks my suicidal ways needs fixing. Hard part is theirs no way to fix it. So I put a smile on just for her and the little guys every day just so they don’t cry. Sometimes I hear Songo in the middle of the dead of night crying for me in her room. I love her a lot, she like the mom I never had. Id do anything just to keep on tear drop from hitting the floor. It would be the lest I could do for her. “And when the school gets attacked….” she cuts me off again!!! She never lets me get a word out at times “They can bill me!!” as she says that Tai races into the room like a bat out of hell he is!” “Hi mom, come on man lets go!!” He shouts out to me has he gives me a high five. Quickly moving behind the kitchen counter to give his mom a kiss. “You’re the one whose late dumb a**!” I say shapely as we walked out to the hall way that lead to the front door! “Bye!!” we both say has I shut the door behind me. It was about 12:30 and I was walking to my 4th class of the day. I has my bang over my right shoulder and heading for the basketball court. Their were so many people I almost could not believe it, I never knew their was so many people in this world. The hall was cowed as I push past people trying to get the basketball court down the hall. That’s when I meet the girl that would change my life. All though I did not know that at the time. As I was walking I saw her at her locker. She was not bad to look at so I guess that’s why I remember that moment when I glazed at her. Normally I would have just turned but there was something to her I found attractive. She has dark red hair, with cool light red high lights, tied up in a tail. She even had bright red eyes, but they had a kind of beautiful softness to them. I recall her wearing a tank top with a large star on it and a pear of jeans. But what I remember most is the fact she has a smile on her face. I don’t see that to much and has I keep walking I started to smile. She was hot, but in the end all it was infatuation. It wouldn’t become more until much later. I like smiles when I see them I stop worry about doing myself in, I just well smile. When I got to the court it was a lot bigger then I pictured in my head. Their were a lot of kids and they were heading to there rooms to get changed. The court was nice to look at with the benches to the side’s of the room and the drawings above it with are school logo on the wall. I see a tall man coming out of the boys locker room, he had a black lather jacket with really short running shorts. To short, I walked from across the room over to him. “Hello you must be the new student.” he said in a kind yet, respectable tone. “Yes sir” I hand him a note from Songo. He reads it over and then hands it back to me. “ That to bad my boy, heart problem. I hope it gets better. Then maybe you could play on one of the teams.” “Me too” I say in happy sounding tone. I’m not use to keeping this happy carp going all day long like this. He patted me on my shoulder and tells me to sit where I want during the class. I seat myself under one of the basketball whoops and sit up against the near by wall, went throw my pack back and took out my ipod, putting my head phones on listening to music during the class. My eyes closed and once and a while I’d open them just to see what’s going on with their game. I did pick up to the fact that Narfea, Tai’s sister was their. She of course being Song’s kid was kicking a** in the basketball game. Miroku forbid her to date until she was older, so she cant go out with anyone until she is eighteen. That’s to bad cause she really hot and I don’t say that lightly, cause I have known her all my life and I hate the fact that she is so sexy. I mean when I was in diapers I took baths with her and Tai. She like a little sister to me, god I hate it! She has sparkle light blue hair now, she changes it once and awhile, but I think she is sticking with blue for now. She is a bit short only about 5’4 and me being almost 6 foot and Tai being 5’8. She knows that she will never ever be any taller at the rate. Has I was taking it easy my left arm started to hurt again with shaper juts of pain. I rubbed it some what but it would not go away. So I opened my eyes and took out my money that Songo had given me. I was going to lunch next period so I wanted to know what I had so I could get something. It gave me something other then pain to think about. When the class took five from their game three guys walked over and stood right above me. I could hear them coming, but a paid them no mind. “Hey b***h, …yeah you the kid with the super blue sweat shirt!” he said trying to sound tuff to me, but I kept containing that way would at lest know how much I had before they talked trash or what ever the hell they wanted. Suddenly the kid to the right of the guy that was talking too me picked me up by caller, lifting me up bring me close to his face. He had darker skin then the others and was fairly large and god did his breath stinky. I would have laugh right to their faces if his breath didn’t smell like death. “You want something I said comely and with a bit of a dumb smirk on my face. “Yeah…why aren’t you out with the rest of us b***h!!” He said the teacher was gone and the class started walking over to see what was up. I knew I could not fight them here and now, but that didn’t stop me from showing off. I should have said cause of my heart or something, but no they disturbed my depression and my music. So I had to re pay them! “ Cause I’m to good at playing basketball, it’s a waist of my time and talent. Playing with low life’s like you friend.” I said with a full smile now on my face. I was starting to enjoy this now, cause the guy that was holding me up was turning red with anger. I may not be able to fight anymore, but I love conflict. Its not a good thing I know, but I don’t care. Its in my blood after all. The fat a** let me go I dusted myself off and put of some fight music on my ipod. It was in my sweat shirt pocket and I put both and arms in it still smiling at them. “Oh yeah” the third guy said “yes do you want me to prove it, give me the ball. Hell if you want give me two!!” Narfea jumped in and tried to stop what was going on but I didn’t back down cause I knew the others three wouldn’t. I was having way too much fun now. My heart was pumping a bit of pain, but I ignored it. “Come on boys now, now” she said her eyes closed and she had a big dumb smile on her face too. Trying to make it seem everything was fine. “Get out of our way you blue haired freak” one of punks said to Narfea. Not to smart if you ask me. She is Songo’s kid after all. “ This freak kicked all of your a**, your a**, and oh yeah yours too. If I recall the last time we met.” Narfea said in a evil conniving sort of way. She was standing in front of me now, the three guys jumped a little after she said that. Their faces turned pale green. These guy were punks trying to scare kids so they could get what they want. Their the kind where even if you kick their a** they will still on come back and think they won the fight. “Its ok Narfea, let me show them what I can do” I said in a cocky voice and now in a cocky pose, legs spread a bit like I would in a normal fight. However my goal was not to fight at all. It would be a waste of energy on my part. I didn’t even take my hands out of my shirt pocket. One of the kids from the now tons of kids around me handed me a ball. So I walk out of the crowed of people and stood at the end of the court, I put the ball in my left hand and bent my knees. I then shot the ball all the way to the other side of the court and it looked super good. It Hit the back board, but it shot out to the side, just off. Needless to say though I thought I has proved my point. I walked back everyone was going nuts around me as I sat back down where I was before. I closed my eyes and went back to my good itons. After sometime all the kids had gone Narfea said something along the lines of “You shouldn’t have done that you know.” However I just said what like I could not hear her. After that she went, then I heard someone else coming over to me, when I open my eyes to see who it was, I saw that red haired girl again. Her knees bent, her hands over he over them, sitting on her feet. That smile was back too, I almost broke, my composer. However I kept my look cold. “That was really a sweet shot you know. Really…umm it was great how you do it?” she asked softly. She was looking right at me, hardly a foot away from me, looking up at me with that big bright smile. Only this time see was looking at me and I didn’t want to show any emotion, for fear we would start to have a real conversation. I couldn’t have any friends, no friends I couldn’t live with myself if something were to happen. I said that to myself in my head over and over, as I looked at her. So I shut my eyes quickly again and turned up my ipod on full blast, even though my demon ears could still pick up her voice. I said nothing back even though I wanted to say much. I was trying to be rude, trying to make her go away. “Really though ….it was awesome” she said in a high pitch voice, sounding very sweet I wanted to smile back but I kept my composer and reopen my eyes and glared right at her. She was still stilling their in front of me, she had tight red gym shorts on and a plan light blue tea shirt on. Her hair was still tied in a tail but you could tell she had been playing a real good game cause her hair was a little messy and she was sweating. In fact I could see the she has rub burn on both her knees, she was not one of those pretty girls for sure. “Yeah…..” I said with no facile expression just cold. Shutting my eyes as tight as I could, so it seemed that I didn’t care what she had to say. I heard her get up very quickly and walk away pounding her feet has she walks. I remember her swearing under her breath, I felt upset on the inside. She seemed really thoughtful and tuff. Only for a moment cause I knew that that was the smartest thing I did all day, and I was oddly proud of it. I knew that’s not a cool thing to think, but that’s how I lived for years. I am a warrior, the demons that feared me when I was in my prime only a few years ago, called me the hero of man. Now though I was in to much pain and weak to strike fear into a mouse! As my day dragged on, a few people came up to me trying to be friendly. Some did so cause of that super basket as they called it. Others cause they were just trying to be nice. I didn’t talk to any of them, I would just say hi and that’s nice over and over until they got the hint or just planed old parented not to hear them cause my ipod was to loud. I got to admit I really wanted to talk to a few of them. In fact a lot of them were really interesting. “So this is the life I lead” I said in my head over and over. I was alone, I knew why and I was more then ready to live and die all by myself. However even though I was ready didn’t mean I really deep in my cold heart dead heart wanted to. People aren’t meant to die alone were meant to live together relying on one other for support and comfort. And when we die we die with are family and friends around us, still giving us comfort right up to the end. I knew I was going to die fighting or kill myself, in any case I knew I would be alone. I’m not fearful of death, but dieing alone yes, yes I am fearful of that. Thoughts like that kept going in and out of my head as I was heading back home. I was going to wait for Tai , but I knew he wasn’t going to walk cause of the rain that was coming down. And rather then waiting for the great unfaithful Miroku to show up after an hour of us calling him to come pick us up I just took off. I was about less then a mile from home and still had sometime to go, my ipod was on full blast as I was crossing the street. I thought it would be nice, cutting throw the park to save sometime. I didn’t want to worry Songo I saw her get upset before over kids who showed up late, when I watch the others go to school. When I got into the park everything seemed to be fine. Actuality it felt really peaceful. All the animals were hiding from the now down poor. The grass was sparkling thanks to the rain, so were the trees. Everything looked wonderful in the rain. The rain doesn’t depress me, in fact I feel indeed more at peace with myself. Fallowing a dirt trail that leads throw the middle of the park and then out the other side. All and all it should have been a ten minuet trip until of course I something bad a to mess with the fine moment of peace. Walking, I heard a loud scream coming from a more wooded area of the park. It was so loud that it went right throw the music off my ipod. “Crap!” I spoke softly has a chill went up threw my spine. I could tell it was a girl screaming, however I could not get a fix on where it came from. Not waiting to hear another, I instinctually drooped my back pack and throw off my ipod to the ground and ran for where I thought it may have come from. It didn’t take me long to find out what the hell was really going on. I saw the three guys a head, the ones from before on all on top on some girl that was trying to fight back. They must have seen her talking to me, and thought this was away to get back at me. Maybe they were just waiting to get her, bitewing their time. It didn’t matter why or even how. Those sons of bitches, I am no knight or samurai, but when I see the strong hurt the weak. I go nuts with rage, and even more so when it’s a girl. My face turned red and my eyes filled with hate and utter anger. I thought to my self “ I should have given them a beating when I had the chance!” They were dead men walking!!! Coming up fast behind them my arm and legs were starting to hurt when I pick up speed, but I couldn’t care less at that point. I only a few feet away and I saw one of them going to punch her right in the face. I snapped when I saw this and went all out, yelling at the top of my lungs. My face infuriated, each plodded splash step I took I was getting more and more angry! When they heard me and turned around I could see the shock as I came up on the one the was right on top of her. I throw my right, who was going to hit her, my hand into the air and then sent it down fast, grabbing the back of his neck and turning around and lunching him into a tree that was a couple of feet behind me! He hit the tree face first knocking him out. As he hit the ground and landed on his back. My eyes started to blur up. The pain was going to make me black out! I had to finish this fast, turning around to find a fist in my gut only a second later! It was a hard one, he hit a human part of my body. It knocked the wind out of me, I was slipping. As I stepped back a few feet almost falling to the ground. The fat a** had got me good, and thinking he had me, the fat one ran up and lined up for a blow to the my head. But before he could fallow throw I head butted him pushing him back. I saw that he was about to fall on the girl still on the ground in shock, so quickly moved and lined up a side kick. Pounding him on his right side, sending him to his own tree. Knocking him flat out, has the pain grew every passing second the last guy threw a long steel pipe right at me. He had stepped back from the fight. ******** crowed, the lest he could do is face me, not throw a dumb stick. My head throbbing after I used my head to hit that fat guy, I some how managed catch that pipe! I had it in my left hand. I had the good sense to then put it in my right hand quickly so I wouldn’t kill him in one hit. I wanted him to live and learn the hard way! He had another pipe, he was holding it like a sword, holding it with two hands in front of him. He was playing a favorite game and I am a master at it. The girl finally got up ran over to the side and hid behind a far tree. I was barley just holding my self together, trying not to let myself fade out. After a monument of us just standing there, like an old samurai movie. I got even more pissed when, I could see the fear in his eyes he was shaking all over. he yelled out and wildly swing his pipe saying “ Die you dam monster!” He said almost in tears. Before he moved another step I used everything I had left in me and lunched my self with lighting speed, hitting him in every stop of his body all in the same second in time! My right arm out strait holding the pipe my eyes closed my legs part with most of my weight on my left has I was leaning. A large dust trail behind me, blades of grass in the air falling back down to earth slowly. Blood came out of the guys mouth as he fell to the ground with his pipe cut into two parts. I drooped my own pipe and slowly turned and face him. He was only five feet away from me now. “Maybe I am …maybe I am, a…monster, but…b-but…so..so are you.” I said with barley any energy left. I fell flat to the ground out of the pain and lost catchiness. The last thing I recall was feeling the wet ground and seeing in the far distance. In the black darkness of the wood a shadow out line, with bright yellow eyes watching me. “Dam …demon” I thought to my self when I blacked completely out. I find as I was out dreaming, dreaming about that girl with the red head. Now keep in mind when I was fighting I didn’t know it was her I was protecting. I was so enraged and in so much pain I had no time to see her and who she was during the fight. In fact maybe that’s why I was dreaming about her? Who knows, she was in my dream, she was surrounded by a warm glowing white light, with a beautiful strapless red dress on. She had short hair, but it was curled a bit. Which sparkled brightly in the lovely light around her. I was walking slowly to her and I started to notice very bright star’s in the back around. All the star’s in the sky seemed to be around us, and the light around her was just so bright and brilliant. She was holding her hand out in front of me, waiting for me to take it. Her face was has red has her hair and dress. Her hand was shaking slightly, looking down and away from me with a small nevus smile. It was clear that she was scared. I took her hand brought it up to my face, closing my eyes and I kissed it lightly. I let her hand go, and I put that same arm around her waist, she put her arms around me slowly and inversely around my neck. We began to dance in the circle of really bright and smoothing light. And I can remember hearing a faint slow dance music coming from the star’s above us. We were staring at each other, my eyes were serous, but clam and I recall feel an almost over whelming happiness dancing with her. Her eyes looking back at my own, she was still very nevus. Her face still red indeed. I think I was too, but I held my own. It was fun in fact, and I hate dancing. However this moment was different, it was like for that moment, I was truly for the first time alive. I could feel my own heart inside me, beating in away I didn’t know it could. After a life time I felt a hand on my shoulder. It was large and strong, I could feel his long sharp finger nails against my skin. But it didn’t hurt at all in fact it felt miler. It was my farther…my dad hand was on my shoulder like the good old days. When I didn’t fight, when we were family, before he died. Then behind the red haired girl I saw my mother approaching from the distance. She was smiling the way I remembered she did when I was a kid. Just smiling, that all she ever had to do to make me stop crying, when I got hurt or dad wouldn’t let me play or something gay like that. Then I heard something coming form behind me, a voice. My dads voice, it was soft yet strong sounding. “ Every thing I ‘am….everything I was…so you and more” He said to me. My eyes then shot open and I sat up quickly, a piece of cool wet cloth fell down from my head and into my lap. I stared at it for a moment has I felt a really sharp pain coming threw my head! Coming like lighting pulsing threw me. I didn’t know where the hell I was. I rubbed my forehead and the pain in my head becomes more bearable. Shaking my head quickly, to flick off the last bit of pain, looking around the room. It was dark, and as I started to get up and look around the room. I began to see that I had been out for a long a** time. I saw a row of old looking winds. I walk and few feet, and looked out, To see it still raining hard, but in the middle of the night. I could see street lights, and a few cars moving by. It was late, and there was a slight mist in the air. I turned around and look back at where I had been laying. It was an old couch, with a small lamp, on a table next to the far arm. I kept looking, it was kept well, from what I could see. Their were a lot of boxes everywhere, most near the door. After a moment more I heard some one approaching the door. When the door swung open, I saw that red haired girl again. She was holding a large glass in her hand. She was wearing a blue denim button skirt. And had a long short tea shirt, and looked like she had just gotten out of the shower. I could smell the shampoo in her wet hair. “Hey well look who woke up!” she said in a cheerful voice. As she closed the door behind her, and started to walk over to me. “Here take it, it will make you feel better.” she said this time a lower, more serious tone. Holding the glass in front of me. I hesitate taking it for a sec. It looked like warped orange juice of some kind. I took it and down it quick, when the taste set in my mouth, I almost sip it up right there. I cant even describe how nasty it was. It was that bad! Not trying to be rude, I down it and hand the glass back. “ Not so good I take it.” she said. “ No, what the hell was that anyway?” I said, still clearing the taste from my tough. “ Umm…to be hoist I don’t really know for sure. Some kind of sore mules relaxant, or something like that.” “ Mules relaxant?? How did you….” “Oh.. That well I saw you during the basket you shot back at school. When you were hurting the egos of those a** wipes. You kept on after ward rubbing your fore arm, back and worth. And you had trouble getting up and sitting back down. ” “ I see, well I’m sorry about not taking care of those a** wholes back their. When I had the chance!” “ What are you joke you saved me back their! I’m really grateful!!” “ Yeah I could tell from what ever the hell that glass was.” I said sarcastically. It took only a moment for me and her to start laughing. “ You’re a real smart a** you know! What’s your name anyway?” she said. “ Kanta Higurashi, you?” “ Holy, well that’s my adopted name anyway. Everyone just calls me Red though. Your at my adopted families house.” “I see how far are we from the park I found you at?” I said, thinking in the back of my mind. Songo’s going to have my head. Not even thinking that I should leave, before I get her killed or something. I should have left, but for some odd reason I didn’t. “ About fifteen miles or so. Were only a few blocks from main street. Why you cant leave now your still hurt.” she said “No I’m good don’t worry about it.” I said. “Bull I can see you know. Your left arm is shaking like crazy! Here sit down, and I’ll get some real for you to eat. “No really I’m fine I don’t need anything!” I said, she went to grab my arm. I saw that so I pull away cause even the slightest touch would hurt like hell. When I pulled away she put both her hands just below my shoulders, trying to set me down. When she did I felt something coming from her hands. Some kind of warmth from her palms, and enter inside my chest. It then went threw the rest of me. She pushed me over to the couch where I sat down. She left the room to get something and when she came back in saying she was going to order. I talked with her for about an hour, the food came shortly after. We ate and still talked, I enjoyed it a lot, I only get to talk to the kids back home. So it was like X-mas for me. “ I thought that she had died in the 3rd movie?” she was saying once when we were talking. “ Oh she did….it’s a long story. And anyway it was a bad movie. I would stop at 3 if I were you.” I said back, finishing up a hot dog. Getting another one at the table and eating it quickly in two bites. Face it when you live in a house of more than a dozen. You eat fast or you don’t eat! “ I got you, why do they keep making movies like that” she asked? “ I don’t know, money I guess” I said. “ I hate that….so anyway…umm just asking, but do you have a girl friend? I don’t mean anything by it, but you don’t have a bad looking face, and your thoughtful. Even if you are rude” she said. “ Umm…no never had one?” I said reaching over to grab my drink on the table. She was sitting in a chair, holding her knees. “ What do you mean you never had one. You dated before right?” “ No” I said bluntly back. “ Wow why not?” she said back, listening intently. Surprised by my answer. “ it’s a long story you wouldn’t believe me if I told you.” I said sipping my drink, looking down at the floor. I grew a bit depressed at the though. I guess the thought of not having a girl friend at now sixteen, reminded me how much my life sucks. “ Aww…I’m sorry” she said, sadden by my expression. I see this and I bounce my self back into happy mode. “ No worries girl I’m cool.” It was the best I could come up with. “ Oh that’s right… I’ve been meaning to ask. Did you see that guy with the yellow eyes?” She asked me. I thought but I didn’t recall. “ Y-yellow…..oh no” I said under my breath. I remembered just before I black out I saw a demon near by. “ What” she asked? “ Nothing I got to go!” I took my drink and looked out the window. My instincts were telling me to jump. But I held my self back and walked out of the room. Red was close behind me asking why. I lied the whole way down, but she shot down all of my stories. Finley after walking down at lest six or seven levels I made it to the front door. Red run up and positioned her self in the door way. “ Why are you leaving, and no lies this time.” she said in an calmly, but I could tell she was getting upset. So I told the truth. “ I’m I half demon, or well quarter demon. My soul mission in life is to save the world from hell swallowing up the earth, and bring an end to the world as we now know it!” I said it as quickly as I could. I was hoping she would think I was nuts and just let me go, or even that I was joking. “ WHAT KIND OF ANSWER WAS THAT!!!” she was angered, well more like enraged by my reply. “ Told you wouldn’t believe me! Thanks from the hot dogs.” I pushed her slightly to the side, and out of the way. I put on my hood, to cover my head from the rain. I started to go down the stairs and when I hit the last floor she called out. “ WAIT!!! I mean wait please. Why are you leaving just tell me. Did I say something wrong” She asked? “ No I’m wrong, I’m sorry.” I spoke in a low voice, turned around my hands inside my sweat shirt pocket. My head was held low. Not cause I was tired, but because I was sad. I didn’t want to leave her. In fact I really just started to like her. As I kept walking away I didn’t put two and two to getter, but I started to notice that the pain in my arm and legs were gone. The sadness to faded away. And I felt great, and once more the odd part was. For the first time in along a** time. I realized on the way home, I wanted to fight. I wanted to do my job. I had an energy that I hadn’t had for a long time. It was kick a**!!!
