The Kiss Of A Good Women Can Heal All Hurt
By:MandyPinto90
Chapter 1 Poor little Shippo where did you come from?
Ashi opened her eyes and stretched enjoying the warm feeling of the sun on her bare skin. Two women came from behind a silk curtain and cover her nakedness with a robe before leading her to a pool of water surrounded by willow trees. Sheding the robe she steped into the water stoping when it reached her chest. She took the offered soap and began her morning's bath. There is a rustle in one of the trees and the two women waiting on the shore raise their bows to shoot whatever is making the noise.
Ashi raises a hand to tell them to wait and they lower the bows. Looking towards the tree she sees a pair of emerald eyes looking back at her. "Come out demon don't be afraid, my name is lady Ashi I am friend to the demons you have nothing to fear of me or my ladies." The owner of the emerald eyes tentatively jumps from the trees and lands on a rock near the base of one. It's clear in the way it holds its right arm that it's injured. Ashi looks over the tiny fox demon "what's your name little on?" the fox blushes "Shippo miss" Ashi smiles "good morn Shippo" she walks towards him and takes his injured arm in her hands. "Let's see if we can't heal that arm of yours shall we?" Ashi closes her eyes and a soft humming comes from her lips. Softly she kisses his arm and it glows a light blue. Opening her eyes she gently feels it up and down. "Very well done Shippo" She picks him up and cradles him in her arms. "Let us get you something to eat you look hungry and that arm won't heal right without rest." She thinks for a moment and when the women drape the silk robe over her again she leads the way to the small temple a few feet away. "I would dearly like to hear your story little Shippo if you would be willing to tell it over the morning meal?" Shippo nods and she places him back on the ground. "you must excuse me I will return shortly, Kisa will show you the way to the dining hall, feel free to begin without me" Ashi leaves him to one of her lady's and returns to her room to dress for the day.
When next Shippo sees her she is dressed in a simple kimono of un-dyed cotton. Her hair is pulled back in a complex work of knots the only sign that she is above the other ladies in the room. She takes her seat at the head of the table and everyone begins to eat. It is a simple meal made of bread water fried meat and eggs but Shippo eats as much as he can. "So tell me Shippo what happened that you ended up at my temple?" Shippo rips off another chunk of bread and swallows before speaking"
"I was traveling with my friends we were looking for something called the Shikon jewel shards when we came across this giant demon. InuYasha and the others tried to attack it but I'm to little to fight and one of the demons attacks hit my arm. The big demon started to run away so everyone chased it but I couldn't keep up and got lost. That's pretty much what happened miss thank you for fixing my arm"
Ashi smiled and pated him on the head. "You are most welcome little one, tell me more about your friends please I wish to know what they are like so we may help you find them" Shippo nods "Ok well there is InuYasha he's a half dog demon and a real mean he's always picking on me and punching me on the head" Ashi covers her mouth to hide a smile and signals for him to continue "there's Sango who's a demon hunter, she's very nice and Kilala her demon cat that she rides around on, Kilala has two tails and can turn big or small and oh yeah there's Miroku to he's a monk but not a very good one, he's got a wind tunnel in his hand that sucks anything up" Shippo thinks for a minute before adding heasently "There's also Kagome she's a human from the future Japan but we haven't seen her in a long time InuYasha yelled at her and she hasn't come back since."
Ashi nods knowingly "I see so your friends are a half demon dog two humans and a demon cat that changes size" She calls over two women dressed in identical black robes their hair pulled back in a single tail. "Tsuki Setsun would you be so kind as to survey the area around the temple and search for our young guests friends?" The two women bow "yes lady" and exit the room to do as told. Tsuki and Setsun are our best trackers it won't be much of a challenge for them to find humans instead of rabbits or deer" Ashi stands "I have work I must do Shippo you are welcome to join me or have free run of the temple whatever you wish." Shippo gets up "I'll stay with you miss" Ashi nods and leads the way back outside and to a garden at the back of the temple.
"This is where we grow most of the food we eat at the temple and head priestess or not we all divide the chores equally. Today is my day to harvest" She picks up a basket and straps it to her side, Shippo does the same with a much smaller basket. They spend the remainder of the morning gathering vegetables and when the sun is in the middle of the sky they retire to Ashi's room for a privet lunch. The women Kisa delivers two plates of fresh fruit and bread and a smile breaks out on Shippo's face "oh wow watermelon it's my favorite!" he takes a big bite and a small laugh escapes Ashi.
After lunch there is meditation with the rest of the women and lessons for the youngest (who are really girls, not women). During one of the lessons where Ashi was helping the younger girls learn how to read she was called outside where a women had a hawk perched on her arm. "Lady Ashi Tsuki and Setsun sent back there hawk they found our guests friends and are escorting them back to the temple, they also send word that one of them is injured, the female of the group Sango." Ashi nods "very well thank you Hibuki make sure to give our friend here an extra treat" she rubs the hawks head fondly and looks to Shippo "We have much to do before your friends arrive let's begin shall we?"
Ashi and Shippo find the cooks and have them prepare some special food and then with the help of a few of the other women to prepare a sick room for Sango and a room for the boys to sleep in. By the time there done its night fall and Ashi Shippo and a small group of others wait at the temple entrance for their new guests.
