Once
Upon a Time in a Feudal Fairy Tale
Chapter
Two: Mistress Centipede
Rin heard her own
scream, but felt no arms. In fact, she saw Souta and Kagome looking
at her oddly.
"Um, Rin-itoko?
What is it?" Souta asked, sounding nervous.
"Huh?" Rin
asked flabbergasted. "Didn't you-" she stopped, in favor of
"Did you see something?"
"Wow, this
place is really getting to you. Let's go." Kagome said with
raised brows.
"No!
I'm sure saw something!" Rin cried. She turned to the Well and
stared at it. There was
something here. I know it. She placed her hands on the
ancient wood. "I know it."
"Maybe this
place is getting to you, Rin-itoko. We should go,"
Kagome nodded at her
younger brother. "I agree, she's crazy. Let's go."
Rin
turned around with a sigh. "Fine. But I know
something was there."
"Sure, Rin.
Those leprechauns will get you every time." Her cousin said
sarcastically. "Let's go, before you start seeing unicorns and
faeries."
But before they had
taken their first step, there was a crack and a cold hand grasped the
two and pulled them through the well.
Rin opened her mouth
to scream, but her throat clenched and nothing came out. Bracing
herself for the sudden impact or the crunch of her own bones, Rin
squeezed her eyes and prayed.
It never came.
Instead, she felt
something that was, Rin supposed, like being suspended in liquid.
That feeling vanished too, to be replaced with the insistent pull of
the hands.
Daring to turn her
head, Rin looked over to her cousin. She was still looking straight
up, with her eyes empty and her mouth agape.
"Kagome?"
Surprised at the
sound of voice, Kagome snapped from her trance and turned her fearful
eyes to Rin.
She would have
spoken more, but the hands tightened their grip and turned them
around.
They both gasped at
the sight. It appeared to be a woman at the torso, but it's lower
body and face where something definitely not human.
It was a centipede.
The creature dragged
the cousins closer and stared at them with black eyes. "The
jewel!" it rasped "Where is it? I must have it! Give it to
me!"
Kagome started
kicking. "I don't know what you're talking about! Let me go!"
Rin
joined in and struggled against the arm.
The monster, or
demon, as it appeared, did not relent but said not to them, but
apparently to itself, "Oh, to be alive again. To live once more!
I must have it!" It
reached a pale pink tongue and licked Kagome's cheek. "It is
you! You have it! It must be mine!" It moved its grasp away from
Rin's arm and to her neck. "I shall devour you later."
Her
cousin herself looked shocked and disgusted. Turning her head to the
demon centipede, she whispered, "Let go...LET
GO!" Placing her hand on the centipede's face to push it
away, Kagome's hand glowed pink. The pink light itself seemed to
shove it away with a much stronger force. Much stronger, in fact, for
the arms that were locked around the cousins tore off and the demon
separated.
Just as the Rin
ripped the arm from her neck and slung it from her, she and her
cousin were engulfed in light.
"Ow."
"Five more
minutes."
"Ow. Ow! Rin!
You're sitting on me!"
"Huh? Oh.
Sorry." Rin picked herself off of Kagome. "How did you get
down there? You know I just had the strangest...dream...oh my God.
Did...did you? I mean do you remember..." Rin looked around. The
Well, just as she remembered. And then the centipede woman. And
then...nothing. But the centipede woman couldn't be real. She must
have bumped her head on the Well. But the arms. "Kagome?"
"This is a dream. A bad dream. Dream. Dream."
Kagome was chanting. She was also staring directly at something. It
appeared to be...the arm. "A dream. Just a dream. This is a
dream."
That was beginning
to get on Rin's normally calm nerves. So she pinched her.
"Ow! What was
that for? First you sit on me, now...hey!"
"Guess your not
dreaming, huh?"
"Yeah, well, I
don't know. Do bug-like humans normally attack you? On top of that,
you sat on me. So there."
"How
childish." Rin said, "First of all, no of course not.
Second of all, how 'bout we get out of the creepy well with the arm?"
::1::
"Fine. But you
know what?"
"What, Kagome?
You discovered that I was right and you were wrong and we're
outside?"
"No. You're
fat. Never sit on me again. And right about what? And, duh, of
course."
They stood. "Right
about me and seeing something. What happened was exactly what I saw.
No leprechauns. And I'm not fat. Your weak."
"Prove you saw
that and I'm stronger that you, fatty-lumpkins."
"Sure.
And there really were leprechauns back there. Now let's get out of
here before a giant spider comes." ::2, 3::
Looking a bit
nervous Kagome asked, "How do we do that? Climb the steep wall
of doom?"
"No," Rin
said impatiently, "And yes, actually. We climb. But we climb
those." She pointed.
Hanging from the
walls were thick vines that didn't look too old and unable to support
them. Rin was willing to stake Kagome's life on those.
"You go first."
Her cousin said quickly, before Rin could.
Scowling
at her, but not disagreeing, she thought, We
really are alike. Pity. Grasping the vines and setting her
footing, Rin pulled a little. It seemed sturdy, though, and it held
as she climbed to the top of the Well.
What she saw as she
reached it nearly made her let go. But, thankfully, she didn't, and
kept her footing, bringing her leg over and standing on the ground,
gazing down at the Well. "Dearest cousin of mine! Come have a
look-see! And don't let go!"
"Of what?"
She heard Kagome shout below her.
Figuring
it was a rhetorical question; the older cousin sat on the ground,
leaning against the Well. She surveyed her surroundings, deciding
quickly, and quite surely, that this was not Tokyo. To start, it was
way to grassy. And she
couldn't see any smoke. Or hear anything, save the wind and the
chirping of the birds, for that matter. No, she decided, this
is most definitely not Tokyo.
"A little help
here?"
Interrupted from her
train of thought, Rin said in a flustered way, "Oh, uh, yeah,
right."
Turning around to
her knees and facing the Bone-Eaters Well, Rin stuck her hands down
to help. "If I drop you, don't blame me." Kagome tightly
grabbed her hands with one of her own, while keeping a hand on the
vines.
"Okay,"
she said, "pull!"
She
did so, and pulled up, standing in the process. "God! And you
said I was fat! Take the
Atkins or something!" Rin did manage to get her cousin on to the
ledge where Kagome sat and looked around. Rin sat where she was
before, clutching her heart and trying to catch her breath. Between
wheezes she spoke, "Ha...you said...that I was...weak...stronger
than you...Miss Lumpkins."
Kagome didn't
answer. She looked around and said matter-of-factly, "This is
Tokyo. See? There's the tree. C'mon, look you!"
She did, but despite
the uncanny resemblance spoke, "There's more than one tree in
the world, Kagome. And most of them aren't in Tokyo. Look around,
those big things with leaves and bark are more trees, which Tokyo
really doesn't have."
"Well, I dunno.
Do you have something better?"
"Yes, actually.
This is not Tokyo."
"Fine, be that
way. But how about we go and check? That'll show you."
"Good. How much
you willin' to wager, sucker?"
"I didn't say
anything about a bet! Let's just go."
Rin stood. "Fine.
But don't say I didn't warn you."
End
of Chapter Two: Mistress Centipede
That's it. I wanted
to get to five pages, which I did, just barely. I know it's not what
my profile has been saying for the longest time, but you gotta admit,
it's best just to get this out then just keep it locked up, never
finishing it.
Now a bit of
explaining:
Rin's Heritage
Best get this out,
before any more confusion.
Rin- ½
Japanese, ½ American. Heroine. 19 years old.
Rin's father-
Japanese.
Rin's mother-
American.
Irvette-
Rin's aunt through her mother. Rin stayed at Irvette's house when
Rin's parents died (Rin was told it was a serial killer who was never
caught), Irvette felt responsibility for her and Rin's been living
with her ever since.
Akiko
(Kagome's mom)- Her aunt through her father. Akiko was best friends
with Rin's dad (Toru). When Ora (Rin's mom) came along and married
him, Akiko held a grudge against her. Eventually, though, they became
friends and that's how Akiko relates herself and Ora to Kagome and
Rin.
Kagome- Rin's
cousin. They don't like each other for reasons unknown so far. 15
years old.
Okay that's good.
Anybody else, just ask.
Other Notes
Sesshoumaru and
Inuyasha will appear next chapter.
Yura of the Hair and
everybody else leading up to Sesshoumaru's first appearance in the
manga will not appear.
Jaken's still
around.
Now let's see...
1- the other arm Rin
threw, it didn't come through with them.
2-These fights are
normal with them and my cousin and me. Not cousin and I, cause I said
so.
3-Hmmm...spider-ish
demon? I wonder if is this foreshadowing? It would be, if you didn't
know half the plot.
'-itoko' means
cousin.
'Ora' means
beautiful seaport
'Toru' means sea
'Irvette' means
friend of the sea
'O-Tsuyu' means
morning dew
'Akiko' means autumn
child or iris
Notice how Ora, Toru
and Irvette all mean something alike.
Okay, that's good. Sorry
for the waste. Reviews are much appreciated. Bye.
