Alluring, but Deadly

Part two

Kamaishi-chan

By Andrew Kaulitz

The next morning, Jessumi didn't want to get up but she knew she had to. "Jessumi wake up! Don't you have some kind of mission journey thing to go on today?" her aunt Tsume asked. "Yes…" Jessumi yelled into the pillow. Unwillingly, she got up and did her usual morning routine. About thirty minutes or so, Jessumi went to make her way to the village gate. Waiting for her were the group of five she previously met this morning. Only this time the one named Inuyasha was awake. "If we're going to be traveling with you, we better pick up the speed…" He has said rather coldly. "That's just his way of saying hello" The little fox explained. "Uh… oh…. Kay…."

Jessumi walked forward out of the gate with the group of five close behind. "So… tell me about this Naraku guy. You seem to know more about him than anyone in the village…. Or any shinobi at all actually…" Kagome was the one that answered. "Well… Naraku is an evil demon… who is after this thing called the Shikon Jewel. It has a great magical power that can make any dream, wish, or fantasy come true. Naraku is looking for the jewel because he wants to use it for his… evil reasonings… if that makes sense." "Ah… I think I've heard of this Shikon Jewel." The group continued in silence for a while. "So tell us about this Orochimaru and… Kamaishi." This time it was the woman named Sango who spoke. "Well… Orochimaru is… a bad person much like your Naraku. He wasn't all ways bad, though… twisted, yes. His main goal is to learn as many forbidden jutsu as he can… That and to see the down fall of Konohagakure… which is the village we just left… Kamaishi… is my childhood friend… she was abandoned… Shizune and Lady Tsunade found her late one night on the door step of a Buddhist Temple on their way back from Tanzaku Town. Lady Kamaishi has been acting strange lately… all of a sudden she's disappeared. She started acting weird when news was heard that Orochimaru was on the move again. I think it's all connected somehow…" The last section of Jessumi's explanation was more to herself than to anyone else.

Everyone reached the next city – not town, but city – within a couple hours or so. Jessumi didn't care what the other's did, but she started running around asking people if they have heard any news about Orochimaru and/or seen her friend. "Yeah, I've seen 'er. Haven't seen the serpent, but I've seen her. Asked me where the very same guy you're talkin' about was; told 'er I didn't know." "Did you see which way she went?" Inuzuka asked getting rather excited. "She headed out to the east part o' town." The middle aged man answered. "Oh thank you, thank you!" "Ya welcome." The guy tried to say before the weird female stormed off rather… rudely from his perspective. iNow I just gotta find those other guys!/i

Jessumi ran through streets in search of the five she separated with a little over half an hour ago.
