Chapter 2: Truth Reviled
"What's a demon?" Zen asked with a look of terror on his face.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" Hikari demanded getting in front of Zen.
"There you are. I was wondering where you've been." The demon said turning around and meeting Hikari's gaze. At this point Hikari noted the demon had blue hair, red eyes, pointed ears, pale skin, gray pants, a dark blue muscle shirt, and black wings.
"I asked you a question on answer me!" Hikari yelled as her canine teeth started to grow.
"Fine I'll answer your stupid question, my name is Daisuke and my orders are to find the Shikon Jewel" Daisuke answered.
"Well it's not here so go back to where you came from!" Hikari shouted as her pulps turned into slits and her nails grew two inches from the tip of her fingers.
"Hikari what's going on? What's happening to you?" Zen asked worried.
"I'm fine… Zen why don't you go take cover, this could get nasty." Hikari replied turning around and giving him a smirk.
"Now go." Hikari said getting to fighting position.
"OK… just be careful Hikari." Zen replied finding cover.
"How sweet you're protecting your little friend… just like a half breed would do." Daisuke stated as he started running toward Hikari.
"Hum…" Hikari smirked keeping her position, her head down.
"Where did she go?" Daisuke exclaimed stopping suddenly as Hikari disappeared.
"Looking for me?" Hikari called doing a round kick which caught Daisuke's right arm.
"Now leave or…" Hikari warned glaring at him.
"Or what little girl?" Daisuke questioned as he turned around to face her.
"Or I'll kill you." Hikari growled jumping out of the way of another blow.
"How are you going to kill me if you keep avoiding me?" Daisuke asked as he charged at her.
This time one of his attacks caught her shoulder.
"Ah!" Hikari yelled as the pain rocketed up and down her left arm.
"That's it… shards of blood" Hikari yelled as she lashed out shapes of blood from her fingers that were hold her wound.
"Who are you?" Daisuke demanded wiping blood from the corner of his mouth.
"My name is Hikari Tama daughter of Inuyasha and Kagome" Hikari replied looking over her shoulder.
"Well Hikari you fight just like your father." Daisuke said starting to fade away.
"Wait you know my father… answer me, where can I find him? Wait!" Hikari yelled running towards Daisuke.
"In the feudal era, but if you want to know more you have to come find me." Daisuke stated with a smirk as he completely faded away.
"Hikari what did he mean by the Feudal era?" Zen asked as he came out from behind the bleacher.
"I don't know… but I'm going to find out." Hikari stated pulling out her yang necklaces.
"Hikari you're bleeding." Zen stated as he looked at her shoulder.
"Oh right well its ok it doesn't hurt as much as it did." Hikari responded glancing at the deep gash across her shoulder.
"Come on you might want to clean that up then I'll walk you home." Zen said.
"Thanks… hey Zen?" Hikari questioned holding her shoulder as they walked to the bathroom.
"What?" Zen asked as he walked beside her.
"Why did you pick me to be your best friend?" Hikari asked staring at the floor.
"It's because you stand out, you're different." Zen replied looking down at her slightly with a smile.
"But during that fight why didn't you run away?" she asked again.
"Everybody's different, I'm different from you, and you're different from me, what's it matter what other people think of you?" Zen replied. "Well uh… what I mean is your different from everybody else and that's what I like about you." Zen added looking away from her and blushing.
"Well what I mean is uh…" Zen mumbled with an even bigger blush on his face.
"Don't worry about it Zen, I get it." Hikari stated with a smile.
"Good." Zen sighed rubbing the back of his head sheepishly. "Well you better get cleaned up now." he said motioning towards the bathroom door.
"Ok, I'll be right out." Hikari replied walking into the bathroom.
"Damn cut…" Hikari mumbled loud enough that Zen herd it through the door. He laughed slightly at this.
"Ok, good to go!" Hikari said coming out of the bathroom with her shoulder wrapped in toilet paper.
"Well come on, let's go." replied Zen walking past her.
"Wait, hold on!" Hikari said stopping in front of the door. She pulled her necklace out of her pocket. "I almost for got to put it on, if I go back home with out it on my mom will flip." Hikari stated taking off the chock necklace and putting her yang necklace back on.
Her nails went back to normal and her pulps went back to normal, and her silver ends disappeared.
"Come on let's g-"Hikari mumbled before falling unconscious.
"Hikari, Hikari!" Zen shouted. He pulled Hikari on his back and started running. "Her mom will know what to do…" He mumbled as he ran.
"Oh great steps! Why steps?" Zen sighed to himself adjusting Hikari on his back.
Knock, knock, Knock
"I'm coming hold on!" Kagome said through the door.
"Zen what happened?" Kagome exclaimed looking at Zen and the unconscious Hikari.
"Can I come in Mrs. Tama?" Zen questioned.
"Yeah, set her down on the couch." Kagome replied walking out of the room.
"So what happened?" Kagome asked as she re-wrapped Hikari's shoulder.
"Well I don't really know how to explain what happened…" Zen replied rubbing the back of his head.
"Well try as best as you can." Kagome said turning around to face him.
5 minuets later
"And that's the best I can explain it." Zen said now sitting on the floor.
"Ok well if you want to you can call your parents and ask if you can spend the night, I'll go get dinner started." Kagome said standing up and walking to the kitchen.
"Ok." Zen said getting up and went to call his parents.
"All right, all set!" Zen said coming in from the hall.
"Zen can you do me a favor and take Hikari up to her room?" Kagome asked as she walked into the living room.
"Sure." Zen replied picking Hikari up off the couch bridal style.
"Where am I" Hikari said slowly sitting up. She looked around the room noticing it was her own. "I'm back home… what time is it?" She mumbled.
"3:30 AM… oh my god!" Hikari said throwing her feet over the side of the bed.
Hikari walked out of the room and started down the stairs. The room was pitch black the only light was from the half moon out side.
"Hey Zen wake up." Hikari said trying to wake Zen up by shaking him.
He didn't wake up.
"Man you sleep like a rock…" Hikari mumbled standing up and staring at him.
"Oh well." she mumbled walking back to her room. She opened her window and sat on the window ciel staring the moon.
"What did he mean?" Hikari asked herself looking at her necklace. Hikari moaned as she got up off the window ceil. She jumped slightly at the crunching noise that sounded under her foot.
'What's this' Hikari thought picking up a picture.
"It's that picture I drew when I was 5".
"I wonder?" Hikari mumbled to herself as she turned on the light and shut her door. She walked over to her desk and took out a blank sheet of paper and set the picture down next to her.
1 hour later
"Done." Hikari said looking at the drawing.
"Wait but how come he looks older in this picture then the picture that I drew 9 years ago?" She mumbled to herself looking at the two pictures.
'4:30 I should try to go back to sleep' She thought turning off the light and going back to bed.
