Here is chapter 2! Whoo!
Chapter 2: The Boy and The Incident
Tinashee open her eyes to see a different ceiling than the one in the shrine. She had been moved in her sleep again, she didn't like being moved every time she fell asleep. She noticed a bandage on her side, she was feeling much better now with the proper herbs. She sat up and looked around, all she saw was light coming in from the bamboo mat in the door way. She pulled her self to stand. She wasn't wobbling anymore. She wondered if Rei had left her when she was moved, she felt safe around him for some reason. 'No he's not gone.' The comfortable feeling she was getting from outside the hut. She walked to the bamboo mat and pushed it open revealing the light of the pink and orange sunset.
"Tinashee!" A familiar voice called. Rei was to her right against the fence helping an old woman fix the fence.
"Rei!" She yelled in delight. Kaede felt her spiritual power becoming stronger as she walked over to Rei. She smirked as she continued to put of the spiritual fence.
"Are you feeling better?" Rei asked when she approached.
"Yes, very." Rei noticed her sounding much more herself then weak and in pain.
"This is-"
"Lady Kaede." She interrupted. "When ye get the chance I need to talk to ye."
"Ok." Tinashee as she watched Kaede leave into the hut.
"You better go see what she wants."
"Right." She stared his eyes one more time before going to meet Kaede.
She approached the small hut and pushed the bamboo mat to see Kaede at the little fire in the middle of the hut.
"Come sit down child." She gestured across from her. "Rei told me you can't remember what happened to ye to get such a bad injury."
"Yeah."
"Well ye were near the east fields when Rei found ye and around the time the battle at Mount Hakurei,in the north, that destroyed the mountain. Do ye remember anything about Hakurei?"
"No I'm sorry."
"No need to apologize. I'm sure you will get your memory soon, but you will have to travel to the west to find a half-demon and a Priestess."
"Wait shouldn't I be going east or north to find out what happened to me?"
"Yes but first we must find out what ye powers are."
"What powers?"
"Ye are a Priestess like me, but much more powerful. That is why I think you came from mount Hakurei. Priestess there are very powerful and are merely 13 and have much more power than I." Kaede said. 'What does she mean? I have not felt like a Priestess every moment I've been awake.'
"Rei is going to go with to help ye. Once you reach a Priestess named Kagome she will help."
"Kaede I'm not a Priestess. I have never felt like one since I woke up." Tinashee felt her anger rising.
"Tinashee please calm down. Do you feel ye power now?" She felt over whelmed with power. She could kill 100 demons with one blow. "Ye power coordinates with emotions. That is why I'm sending Rei with ye. If it be too out of hand ye can destroy every living thing in ye path."
"Oh." Tinashee said with such shock. She felt in her body the power in her core. When she was washed over with the vision of the face she saw.
'I was laying on the ground surrounded by light of orange, fire. I'm in pain, someone is calling to me. My mother? No, my Father? My sister. She was calling me. She came to my side and looked me in the eye. Something is coming, a bird demon. She drew her sword and was attacked. The bird picked me up and I watched as my sister die calling to me. I was trying to get down from the bird. My anger was rising and my power turned the bird to ash. I fell into a field and got knocked out. That was how.'
"I know now." Tinashee said as she fell to her right side and feel back to sleep.
'I know she must like me, she was happy when she saw me.' Rei thought as he walked back to the hut after finishing the fence. The orange and pink was gone. He walked in to see Tinashee asleep again next to the fire. He grabbed his blanket and pulled over her. Lady Kaede gave Rei a cup of water.
"Rei ye have to leave by sunrise."
"Ok." He said looking into the fire. 'How did I get myself stuck in this mess?'
"Ye must protect her. I can tell in her eyes she trusts only ye in the world she can not remember." Rei blushed at her words and forced out a small "Ok." and made himself snug on the ground. Watching the fire, then Tinashee across from it. 'She trusts me!' He felt his insides melt with just those words. His stomach turning as he watched her relaxed across the fire. 'She has a messed up life and I'm going to make it better."

Dawn broke through that bamboo mat and Rei woke with a jolt of excitement. Tinashee was still relaxed across the fire. He sat up and walked to the mat. He saw the sun barely shine through the mountains. Lady Kaede was walking back to the hut when he walked out to stretch.
"Lady Kaede!" Rei shouted when she approached with more herbs.
"I was just coming to wake ye,Tinashee be awake?" Kaede said walking up to the boy.
"No, she has had a hard time." He said as he thought more about what must have happened to her.
"Indeed will you wake her, the Priestess Kagome shouldn't be far if ye leave now."
"Ok." Rei walked back into the hut to see Tinashee already awake.
"Oh Tinashee, I was just coming to wake you." He blushed as she rubbed her eyes.
"Ok." She giggled as she grabbed the wall to pull her self up. She wobbled but caught her balance. 'I'm such a fool, I can't even walk. What am I doing.' Tinashee tried to take a step but stumbled and started to fall. Without realizing Rei caught her and grabbed her arm to help her walk. 'This is too much! I shouldn't be doing this.' Rei thought as he helped her to the bamboo mat.
"Thank you, I'm so useless. I can't even walk without help."
"You are not useless. I'm am going to help you find your past." Rei said walking out of the hut and seeing Kaede.
"Are ye ready to leave?"
"Yes." Tinashee said getting her balance. Rei let go and walked to get the horse.
"Alright I have gathered more herbs for ye. I trust ye know what to do?"
"Yes, thank you so much Lady Kaede." Tinashee said as she saw Rei bringing the horse.
"Remember Tinashee, ye must not get to mixed emotions. Ye can be very dangerous if ye doesn't know about Purification."
"Thank you again Kaede!" Tinashee straddled the horse.
"Thank you." Rei grasped the reins of the horse and started walking down the dirt path into the trees of the west.
Tinashee still felt sleepy and weak. 'What could have happened to me? I am so strong with Spiritual power, how did I miss that?' Tinashee's headache came back more she searched deep in her locked memories. She lay her head on the horse's mane again. The gentle thumping of the footsteps made a Rhythmic pattern. She closed her eyes but was shocked into another vision.
'I was with my sister, I can't remember her name. We are walking through the village when we heard thumping of thousands of demons heading their way. Me and my big sister hurry back to our hut when the hut was on fire. Sadness overwhelmed me and I made a barrier around me and my sister as demons tried to attack us. Then it blurs out.'
She opened her eyes and stared at the dirt. All that thinking hurt her head.
"Rei?" She said weakly.
"What is it? Do we need to stop?"
"No, I- I just remember something." She said still staring at the dirt. Rei stopped and looked at her. He really wanted to know and was concerned.
"What?" He said.'
"I have a sister, but I don't know if she is alive." Her voice shock and tears gathered in her eyes.
"Hey we will find her, don't cry." Rei said reaching to pull his fingers through her black hair, but was shocked when a magenta barrier grew around her. He pulled back his fingers and remembered what Kaede said, "Try not to get her emotions too tangled." Her emotions are so sad that she produced a barrier around herself. He turned around and grabbed the reins and walked again. 'I am sorry Tinashee.' He thought walking into the trees.
Tinashee still stared at the dirt when Rei tried to touch her. 'I produced a barrier like the one when I saw our hut was on fire. The sadness that came with that moment. 'Maybe that's why demons are after me.' She thought all the possible reasons how she got her injury and if her sister is still alive. 'I did see her fall when I got taken away.'
"We are going to stop for a moment to mend your wound. There is a stream nearby." The thumping stopped and Rei tried the horses reins on a tree. He looked at Tinashee to see if her barrier was down. He couldn't see the aura of the Spiritual power around her. He reached to help her off the horse and was able to reach her arm.
"Come on." She sat up and pulled her leg over the horse. She was helped over to the stream then Rei left to sit under a tree next to the horse. She unwrapped the bandage on her left side and saw she looked a lot better already. She got some herbs and mixed them in the water and drank them before cleaning her wound and wrapping it again. She finished and sat by the stream looking into the clear water. She saw the reflection of the clouds in the sky until it was blocked by a green figure across the stream. She didn't move.
"Hello little girl," He said. "What are you doing alone?" She finally looked up to see a frog demon looking down on her.
"What does it matter to you?" Her voice was stern.
"You are quiet stubborn aren't you?" He said lowering his self to her face.
"Go away, I'm not in the mood."
"I couldn't help but smell your blood, that must be a nasty wound?" He asked looked at the blood stain on her kimono.
"Go away will you!" She yelled as she slapped his face. He rubbed the place she slapped and anger rised in him.
"You shouldn't have done that." His big green hand reached to grab her torso but Tinashee stood up and stared at him before his hand got close enough. He stopped when he looked in her gray eyes, he saw anger in her. So much power.
"What are you doing?" He questioned with fear.
"You should have left when you had the chance." She felt her power building up around her. Then let it out with force. It felt like a breeze was around her but there was not wind. The frog demon stood back when he saw all the power she had. She watched as the Frog demon was frightened by her power and magenta surrounded him and he was dissolved right in front of her.
Her power came back to her when he was gone and she felt drained. She still didn't have much energy, but enough energy to kill a demon much bigger than her. 'What just happened.' She had no idea what she was doing but she felt like she has done it before. She didn't move even when she heard thumps coming from behind her.
"Tinashee!" He yelled when he felt the aura around her was very strong.
"I don't know." She slowly fell to the ground. Rei lift her back to the horse.
"Maybe we need to rest more." He said looking down on her tired face.
"No, we need to move on. I need to find the Priestess." She said not opening her eyes.
"Are you sure?" He said. 'I guess the faster we get there the more safe she will be.'
"Yes." She whispered before she fell back to rest on the horse.
'She is a fighter.' Rei thought as they left again, the wound on Tinashee's side was bleeding again. 'Wow.' He thought walking in the trees to find the Priestess.

"Inuyasha we should rest here, Sango isn't looking good." Kagome shouted, and Inuyasha who was in front of the gang stopped. Sango was on Miroku's back and she felt miserable.
"Fine." He replied.
"Start the fire will you." Inuyasha glared at Kagome and left to the trees for fire wood.
Miroku laid down Sango under a tree set Hiraikotsu against the tree and created a pit for the fire. She was badly hurt by Naraku's miasma in their last battle to get Kohaku, but Sango has almost given up hope after getting no where each time. The gang were off to find Koga, a wolf demon, to help with the next battle.
"She is going to be alright, I have some herbs Kaede gave me before we left the village." Kagome kneeled by Sango with Miroku by her side.
"Thank you Kagome." Sango's voice was weak. Kagome pulled out the herbs and mixed them with water. She gave it to Sango and she drank it.
"I'm going to help Inuyasha start the fire." Kagome stood and walked in the way Inuyasha disappeared. Kagome walked slowly through the sunset. The sun was behind the mountains and the only thing you could see was the pink clouds reflecting light to the land. She heard a loud thump and turned to see Inuyasha picking up a newly cut log, but stopped suddenly when she felt the strongest aura she has ever felt. Inuyasha looked at Kagome and saw her face in shock.
"What is it Kagome? A Jewel shard?" He asked running over to her then felt the same aura.
"No."
"Who's aura is this? Naraku's?" He questioned.
"No its more powerful than Naraku. It feels like a girl?" Kagome walked in the direction it was coming from and Inuyasha followed. They walked further into the tree as the aura got stronger.
"Someone's coming!" Rei whispered as he quickly moved Tinashee still unconscious on the horse behind a tree. Inuyasha drew Tessaiga and waited for Kagome to find who had the enormous amount of power.
"Rei whats going on?" Tinashee whispered, she woke up to the aura of another Priestess.
"Shhh." Rei signed.
Kagome pinned pointed the spot behind the tree Rei and Tinashee are hiding. 'Its over, I wasn't able to protect her.' Rei thought as the footsteps stopped. 'Wait!' Before anything else happened she walked around the corner of the tree she stared at the half-demon and the Priestess.
"Stop we aren't going to hurt any of you." Tinashee lifted her hands in surrender.
"Tinashee what are you doing?" Rei whispered at her side and waved his hands for attention. She pulled on his arm to make him stand next to her in the same position as she was.
"Are you Kagome?" Tinashee asked. Rei glanced at Tinashee to see if she was right. Tinashee didn't move her eyes.
"Yes." Kagome replied Kagome saw no fear in her power. "Why are you searching for me?"
Tinashee ignored her question.
"You must be Inuyasha the half-demon." She dropped her arms, Rei copied.
"Watch your mouth child." Inuyasha growled raising his sword.
"You watch your mouth." She replied in a tone. She suddenly was full of a vision of a woman hurt. Silence stood as she searched the thoughts that were available. She saw a demon slayer, Sango in trouble.
"I can help your friend." Tinashee smiled. Kagome looked hard at her. 'Who is this girl? Her power is so strong yet she is so young.' This time it was Kagome that ignored her.
"Are you a Priestess?" Kagome asked staring in her eyes.
"Yes and I can help you if you help me." Kagome looked at the boy. 'They are human.' She was relieved.
"Why should we help you? What are you going to do for our friend?" Inuyasha asked raising his sword.
"I see your friend, Sango is dying. I only wish to help you if you'll do the same in return." Tinashee's head was hurting again. 'This is too much. I can't do this anymore.' She felt her body grow weak again. Her power was too much for her to even handle. She didn't like feeling useless.
"Tinashee!" Rei shouted as he noticed her fall weak and tremble. Her eye sight was blurred as she watched Rei look down on her.
'What just happened?' Kagome thought. 'This girl is too powerful. If she taps into it all at once she could...' Rei lifted her again. Inuyasha and Kagome watched her fall and Rei struggle to help her. Inuyasha sheathed Tessaiga .
"Can you help?" He struggled. Kagome shot into action and helped Rei, and Inuyasha noticed.
"What happened to her?" Kagome asked as she finally was able to cradle her.
"She was attacked by a demon when mount Hakurei was destroyed. She lost everything including her memory."
"Do you think this has something to do with Naraku?" Inuyasha asked Kagome and he saw her struggle. 'Stupid girl.' He took the girl from Kagome. She was shocked but answered panting.
"I don't know but it sounds suspicious." She brushed off her green skirt and smirked. "What's happened to you Inuyasha?" Inuyasha glared at Kagome and growled. They walked back to Miroku and Sango but got no wood.
Inuyasha, Kagome and Rei approached Sango and Miroku. Sango fell asleep and Miroku was against the tree to watch over her.
"What took you guys so long I had to start the fire myself." A small fire was in front of the two. Miroku noticed the boy and the girl in Inuyasha's arms.
"What's going on?" He asked when Inuyasha lay Tinashee by the fire. "I thought you were getting fire wood, not a girl?" Miroku teased.
"She can help Sango." Kagome sat down too.
"Oh." Miroku looked at Sango. "How can she help? She is younger than all of us."
"She is a powerful Priestess, so much so that her own body can't handle the immense power." Kagome looked into the fire. Rei was surprised to hear those words.
"So she... can die if her power gets to strong?" Rei gulped. Kagome stared at the boy. 'He is really worried about this girl.'
"Possibly." She muttered trying not to sound like she will have an awful death.
"Can you help her? We were sent to you for help."
"Who sent you?"
"Lady Kaede."
"Oh... What is your name?" Kagome said her eyes widening.
"Rei."
"Well Rei you have traveled far. You are a fighter and remind me of another boy I know." She smiled
"Thank you. This is Tinashee." He said pointing at her sleeping body.
"Alright Rei you need to get rest. I will help Tinashee." Kagome said pointing to the ground by Tinashee. Rei lay down by Tinashee and closed his eyes. He felt more comfortable than he ever has been.
Kagome looked at Rei and Tinashee before looking at Miroku.
"Are you sure we can trust her?" Miroku asked quietly to not alert the two sleeping.
"Yes, Rei wants me to help her and I will. I can't let this little girl die, she is valuable. It might have been Naraku but we can't be sure." Kagome stared the fire. Inuyasha was sitting in the tree above them.
"Inuyasha why don't you come down and tell us what you think?" Inuyasha didn't move, he tried to ignore Kagome's voice but it was hard.
"Did you force him to carry the girl?" Miroku teased.
"No I didn't for a change. It was all him that offered to carry her." Kagome teased too. Inuyasha growled.
"Why can't you guys leave someone alone?" Inuyasha said looking down on them before lightly landing on the ground next to Kagome.
"Sorry Inuyasha we just need to know what you think. You can't keep sulking all the time." He glared at Kagome but a smile was on Kagome's face.
"I can smell Kikyo on her. It didn't hit me until I carried her. I think she had a barrier around her and the boy." Inuyasha hesitated.
"Kikyo?" Kagome muttered. 'Of course it's Kikyo, he would do anything if it was about Kikyo.'
"Yeah well the boy did say she came from Mount Hakurei and that's where Kikyo was most of the time." 'Could Kikyo been trying to save Tinashee when the Mountain was being destroyed? Is this part of Naraku's plan?'
Kagome yawned after her long thought about what Kikyo could be planning. Miroku fell asleep against the trunk of the tree.
"Your tired, you should get some sleep." Inuyasha mumbled.
"Yeah." She yawned and leaned toward Inuyasha. 'What the... What is she doing?' Inuyasha panicked and lifted arm and leaned away but Kagome still landed on his lap. She was already asleep. With his arm still raised he stared at Kagome on his lap she was shivering. 'She's cold.'
'Of course she is cold, you aren't keeping her warm.'
'Well what am I supposed to do?'
Inuyasha dropped his arm and let it fall on the sleeping Kagome. She snuggled closer to his body as a smile grew on her face.
