Chapter 3
I had felt the shift of the world when I had become an Inu-yokai. I knew I would have to deal with it as some point, but for now me and Shippo walked along towards out destination.
Shippo was holding onto my hand as we walked through the trees, before I left I had grabbed what I needed out of my bag and asked Sango to take it to Edo and when the next time I returned home I would take it with me back there.
I had grabbed my brush, bow and arrows, and a couple other things and those were the only things I had grabbed. As we walked we had only been attacked a couple times. I had seen other yokai but they all ran away and I wondered why.
I saw a village ahead of us on the path. It was down a ways in a small valley. Shippo was starting to fall asleep since we had walked all day. I picked him up holding onto him with a smile as he fell asleep in my arms.
When i reached the village I saw it had lots of humans. People looked at me with wide eyes before the head of the village came out to me.
"Hello, I'm am the head of the village Enchi, might I ask what a powerful inu yokai like you are doing here? Are you with Lord Sesshomaru?"
"Thank you Enchi, i am Kagome. I know of Sesshomaru, I use to travel with his half brother. Would there be a place for me and my kit to rest here tonight, we are on the way to Sesshomaru's palace."
"Lady Kagome, you could rest in my house for the night."
"Thank you for this Enchi, I have some knowlege of healing, if anyone in the village is sick I would be willing to look at them for you."
I followed him into the village as I gently awoke Shippo. I had tried to be like Miroku, he had always done this so well. I would heal anyone who was hurt, I couldn't do this without giving them something.
I could feel peoples eyes on me. I smiled at the kids as I passed and they hid behind thier parents. Shippo hopped out of my arms and followed me.
"Mama, are we resting here for the night? We have been walking ever since we left Inu-baka."
"Yes Shippo, stay near me please. I don't want to loose you in the crowd."
As we passed a house I felt the sickness within and I smelled it as well. Slowing to a stop I turned and walked into the house. Laying in the bed there was a women who looked deathly pale. Her kids were sitting around her.
I move over to her and bend down to her. Laying my hand on her chest I left my Rekai come out and flow over her. It gave her peace and calmed her before removing the fever. I pull away once I was done and move to leave.
"If you take some mint and golden yew the fever should not return."
I left and walked after the village head. He looked at me before turning and walking to his house. I follow him in thanking him for the room I lay down with Shippo to rest.
