One Boring Day
Chapter 1
The Village in the Mountains
Miroku, the monk, is cursed by a void called the "wind tunnel" in his right hand given to his family by none other than Naraku fifty years ago and if Naraku remains alive Miroku shall be devoured and killed by the wind tunnel. Sango, the demon slayer, was the daughter of the chief of the Demon Slayer's Village but when on a normal mission to slay a demon, Naraku used her younger brother, Kohaku, to kill their family. Sango and Kohaku survived, but with a shard of the Shikon Jewel, Naraku eased Kohaku's memories and controls him for his plans. Shippo was orphaned when two brother demons called the Thunder Brothers killed his father. They possessed shards of the jewel and used them for evil. Inuyasha killed them and Shippo has been traveling with the group ever since then. Kagome is average girl from the present day. With the help of the Bone Eater's Well, she able to pass into the Feral Era. Inuyasha, the half-demon son of a great dog-demon, is in love with a priestess named Kikiyo, Kagome's past life. Naraku disguised himself as the two lovers and attacked them. Thinking that they had been betrayed by their beloved they fought each other. Inuyasha was sealed to a tree and Kikiyo died from a wound Naraku had given her. This five brave souls fight countless demons and other evil spirits in order to rid the world of Naraku.
Our story begins with our hero, Inuyasha resting on a branch of a tree by a small hut belonging to Keade, Kikiyo's younger sister and priest of the village.
"Hmmph...we should be looking for the jewel shards before Naraku finds 'em." Inuyasha pouted.
In the hut, the other four speak with Keade.
"Keade, have you heard or felt anything strange or out of place?" asked Miroku.
"No, I haven't heard or felt anything strange. I'm sorry I can't help out more."
"Nonsense Keade, you've been a great help. We should be going." replied the monk.
"So soon?!" Keade said surprised. "Ye, only have arrived yesterday."
"Miroku's right Keade, we should be going and I'm sure Inuyasha feels the same way too." Kagome interjected.
"Well if that's how ye all feel. Be careful and come back safely." Keade said.
They stepped outside and packed their things. When they felt that they had everything that they might need they bidded Keade farewell and started on their journey once again.
"About time! You humans insisit on resting way too much!" complained Inuyasha
"Unlike you Inuyasha, some of us have to rest. We can't all have your stamina." Shippo calmly told Inuyasha.
"Hmph!" Inuyasha huffs. Our travelers begin their never-ending journey once again. Along the road that they were walking Miroku saw a large group of villagers.
"What is a large group of villagers doing all in one place?" Miroku said.
"Maybe it has something to do with Naraku!" Inuyasha said.
"Maybe it does or maybe it's because of all the demons that were released from Mount Hakurai" exclaimed Sango.
"Their village might have been attacked by demons, but if that's the case then why are there so many that are still alive?" questioned Kagome.
" Let's go find out what happened to them. We might find some clues about Naraku's whereabouts." Miroku thought out loud. " You there, why are there so many villagers all together?"
An elderly man answered Miroku back.
"Oh travelers, I wouldn't go the way you're going."
"And why not, old man." Inuyasha asked the old villager rudely.
"Inuyasha! Sit boy!" And with a yell from Kagome's mouth, Inuyasha crashed to the ground.
"Please kind sir, why shouldn't we go up this road?" Miroku continued.
" All of these villagers you see here including myself are from a large village in the mountains. High on the mountain's peak lives a great and powerful dragon demon named Rikoyu." the old villager explained.
"So this demon Rikoyu was the cause of your departure from your village?" Miroku asked.
"Yes, she started coming down from the mountain..."
"And attacked your village?!" Inuyasha interrupted the villager.
"Oh no! You see, Rikoyu has lived on the mountain's peak for many years now. When villagers first built the village, they didn't know about her. They saw her one day and prepare for the day that she might attack, but she never has attacked the village or its villagers. She just ignores us humans at the base of her mountain and serves as a protector from other demons as a result of her indifference to us. We have no reason to leave a safe and fruitful home even if there is a demon."
"Then why did you leave your home if this demon has never attacked you ?" Miroku asked most interestedly.
"Well like I said before, Rikoyu rarely comes down the mountain, but as of lately she has been frequently coming down the mountain and seems to be looking for something. With all the rumors going around that demons have been acting more violent now that Mount Hakurai is gone. The villagers fear that the same might be happening to Rikoyu and fled. There are only a few villagers the stayed behind including our monk, Monk Fumaru."
"Can you tell us how to get to your village?" Miroku pleaded.
"Well if your sure, you go up this road and keep following it until you reach a great river with several waterfalls in it. Go down stream and a little ways down there'll be a bridge. Cross it a follow a path in the woods and you'll be at the foot of the mountain. You'll see a stone craving at the end of the path and from there turn right into a cave. When you reach the end of the cave, you'll be at the entrance of the village."
"Thank you sir, we'll look into the matter of the strange behavior of your demon and get to the bottom of it."
"Your welcome, just take care along the way." the old man warned. "Oh and when you're done with investigating, come back and tell us if it is safe to return to our village, we'll be staying at a nearby cave."
"We'll be sure to let you know." Sango assured him and with that he left with the rest of the villagers.
"Great, another demon that we'll be fighting instead of finding Naraku!" Inuyasha yelled out frustrated.
"This dragon demon Rikoyu could be connected to Naraku and we find even find some clues." Miroku said trying to convince Inuyasha otherwise.
"Fine!" Inuyasha agreed.
They followed the directions that the old man had given them. By the time they reached the giant river it was already nightfall and so they decided to camp out for the night before continuing onward towards the mountain village. Around the camp fire our heroes talk about the village just ahead of the river.
"A demon that lives and protects humans as a result of their indifference to them. That is something that I haven't heard of before. Demons that are indifferent to humans avoid them and other demons simply kill humans. Hmm...what do you make of this Inuyasha?" the monk asked the half-demon.
"This demon is probably a dead end and only started acting strange because of Naraku's demonic aura that's been spreading throughout the region." Inuyasha answered.
"It's better to be safe than sorry. The villagers had the right idea when they left before the demon attacked or did anything serious." Shippo commented.
And so they slept the night by the roaring river and the next day they continued on the path to the hidden mountain village. Crossing the bridge and passing the woods they found the stone craving that would be a little ways away from the cave. Before they continued on they all sensed something that disturbed them.
"Inuyasha, do you sense strong demonic power?" Miroku asked the dog demon.
"Yeah, that's even stronger than Naraku's demonic power. If this demon's stronger than Naraku then it shouldn't be affected by his aura, there's something definitely wrong here." Inuyasha growled.
They turned right of the craving and entered the cave. Everyone was sensing the demonic aura now and it was only getting stronger.
"We better be careful once we get to the other side. Expect anything." Sango told everyone.
Expecting a chaotic scene, the group was surprised to fine an empty but calm village. Few villagers still carrying out their daily routines while others were speaking to a priest.
"That must be the Monk Fumaru that the old man was talking about." Kagome exclaimed. "Excuse us..." she said walking up to the priest. The men around him grew angry and began to shout and question Kagome.
"Who are you people!? How did you get here?! Why did you come here?!!" the angry villagers howled frightening Kagome so that she hid behind Inuyasha.
"Ya got a problem with us? Well deal with it! We're here and we came to help ya!!" Inuyasha, now angered too, barked back in turn scaring the villagers.
"Now everyone, let's not be rude to our guests." the monk said stepping up to Inuyasha. "You said that you came here to help...what do you mean by that exactly?" he asked.
"We run into the fleeing villagers and they told just about your problem. We thought it might be related to another problem that we have and came to investigate." Sango told the monk.
"I see...why you don't rest? You must be tired from your journey here...I know it isn't the easiest village to find. Please follow me, you can rest in the temple." he said as he began leading them to a small temple in the corner of the village.
"Monk Fumaru, tell us exactly what is happening with the demon Rikoyu." the young monk asked.
"Well see you, Rikoyu never really leaves the mountain peak but she is behaving exactly the same way she did 50 years ago."
"50 years!" screamed the group, shocked at the time period that Naraku first appeared and the strange behavior of the demon at present.
"Excuse me Monk Fumaru, but did Rikoyu ever act the way she acts now before or after that time 50 years ago?" Kagome questioned hoping that it wasn't all related to Naraku.
"No, she has only behaved strangely like this twice, once 50 years ago and now." the old monk replied.
"What do you mean by behaved strangely"? the demon slayer asked.
"Well, 50 years ago when my father was the village priest, he was told by many villagers that they had seen a large dragon demon leaving and returning to the mountain peak and they were frighten that it would come and attack the village. So my father and a few brave villagers went to go destroy the demon before she attacked. When they reached the peak of the mountain, my father felt the demonic powers of two demons: Rikoyu and other demon who called himself Naraku."
"NARAKU!!!!!?" Shocked that Naraku had been to this very village made Inuyasha leap up with anger.
"WHAT DID NARAKU WANT WHEN HE WAS HERE!!!?" Inuyasha demanded the monk to answer, taking him by the collar of his clothes and roughly shaking him.
"INUYASHA!!! SIT!!!!" Kagome yelled to stop Inuyasha and free the monk from his grip.
"Ahh, what forcefulness!" Fumaru spoke breathlessly.
"Sorry for Inuyasha's behavior but we've been chasing that same very demon. He's been up to evil deeds and plans to collect the shards of the Shikon Jewel to increase his power. He's done unforgivable things to some of us." Shippo explained to the monk.
"Oh, I understand. Well Naraku and Rikoyu were fighting each other. My father had never felt such power. It seemed that Naraku was trying to absorb Rikoyu's power but Rikoyu was too much for him and defeated him. Naraku then fled and my father saw this as a perfect time to strike. All of my father's attacks were useless against Rikoyu. When he saw that there was no way to defeat her, he surrendered and pleaded for mercy. He begged for her forgiveness and to the trouble he gave her, to make a sacrifice. Rikoyu excepted his offer and asked for a small sacrifice for every season. It has become a traditional festival in our village now. All that Rikoyu asks for are small and very reasonable. We live peacefully with her. For the sacrifices, we are protected and favored by her. Good fortune has fallen upon us because of it. Now the duty to keep that tradition alive is mine and my son and his son."
"Wow, you seem proud of that!" Sango said petting Kirara.
"Yes, this village truely has benefited from Rikoyu. We don't want her to be destroyed but only for things to return back to the way things were. Tomorrow, myself and my son, Hitoro, will go up the mountain and speak with Rikoyu to find out what's going on."
"Maybe it's Naraku again." Kagome said.
"..Or something with a jewel shard." Sango added.
"We will see tomorrow, but first rest the night and then I will take you to Rikoyu if you wish." the monk offered.
The group bowed and took Fumaru up on his offer. They rested the night in the temple. Meanwhile, trouble for our travelers forms where their journey started at. The same old man who spoke to Inuyasha and the group is talking with a pair of shadowy figures.
"So that's what happened to my village." the old man finishes.
One of the mysterious persons replies to him, "Have no worries kind sir, we will go to your village and see what the trouble is with your demon and make it right."
Just as soon as he gives them directions they leave, but hear the old man tell them something very interesting.
"Oh I forgot to mention, there are some travelers who have also gone to my village to help. I'm sure the both of you will be able to right the wrong in my village, they even had a half-demon traveling with them. He seemed pretty strong." he yelled as the pair were making their way to the mountain village.
"Hmm, a half-demon and a dragon demon. Seems we've got our work cut out for us." said a figure with a staff and a long flowing kimono.
The other wearing a black and tighter fitting kimono said sinisterly, "That'll be even better when we kill them. They'll put up a good fight." And so the pair headed to the village and to meet Inuyasha and Rikoyu.
The next morning Monk Fumaru and his son, Hitoro, woke up Inuyasha and the rest of the team.
"Ok everyone, are all of you ready to go?" he asked everyone.
"About time old man, I was starting to think that you rather risk that demon attacking or Naraku showing' up again!" Inuyasha voicing his anger.
"Follow us, my father and I the safe way to travel up the mountain path. It's dangerous if you don't know where to go." explained Hitoro.
Just outside the village, the strange pair have arrived and now sense a powerful demonic aura stronger than ever.
"Feel that demonic power!!! I can tell that this will be a grand battle and we win I'm sure Master will be pleased!" say the figure in black.
"One thing is certain, this battle won't be an easy one, but fun nonetheless." added the figure in the flowing kimono with a grin.
