For The Forsaken Hearts

Chapter 1: Mizu Tsukiko

It had been a long walk since the last Jewel shard they found, and Kagome was getting tired. She didn't complain about it she just felt that it would be better for all of them; even Inuyasha was starting to get cranky.

"Well, we might as well find a village soon, because it's too hot for all of use to keep walking." sighed wiping her forehead. "For once I actually agree with you.",Inuyasha complaind. He was panting like a dog on a hot day. "Well there should be a village close by from what I remember." They all looked at Sango like why didn't you say so. She shrugged at their looks.

When they walked up to the top of the hill they found the village was covered in greenery… not as in covered by trees and beautiful flowers but it looked deserted. "But, this makes no sense. Last time I was here people lived here in this place." Sango was shocked and confused. They all looked around. "The place looks deserted, like it has been this way for years." Miroku chimed at the scenery. Shippio just sighed, "Maybe they didn't want to stay any longer. Or the all died." Kagome looked at the innocent boy. She sighed hoping to find water in the place when she froze. She sensed someone was here still. "It's not completely deserted." She looked around where the presence was coming from. Inuyasha sniffs the air and realizes she's right, but the scent was both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time. They took a look around and Kagome called out, "Please come out we're not here to harm you! " Inuyasha huffed doing that could scare them off. Kagome stood near a tree where a small figure loomed above her. "Please we just want to help." The small figure sense she was to be trusted and calmly responded, "Are you thirsty?" They all froze and looked up in the tree that Kagome was standing under. "Yes, we all are. Please come down from there we won't hurt you." The young girl climbed down with a bandana over her head. "I can get you all some water." Inuyasha was a bit warey of the girl but Sango asked her, "Where is everyone child?" She looked at them her golden eyes shining underneath her black hair. "They all left." Shippo chirped up, "What why?" She looked at them sadly, "Because of me." Kagome was surprised why, would any young girl claim to be the problem. They followed her to a spring, where Shippo accidently knocked her into the water. "Oh I'm so sorry!" He looked in disbelief. "Its alright." "Your…ears?" The girl jumped feeling that her bandana had fallen of. She began to shiver and shake in fear hearing all the names she had ever been called, "Half-Demon Freak! Slut! Bitch! Whore!" Inuyasha felt sorry for the poor girl and rushed to her sighed and by natural instinct held her. "They are wrong, don't listen to their words!" The girl couldn't remember the last time she had been held this way so she cried. "What's your name?" Inuyasha calmly asked the young cat half-demon. "It's Mizu. Mizu Tsukiko." She held a bright smiled on her face and Kagome smiled. She had never seen this side to Inuyasha and she was starting to like it.
