Chapter 4: One Down, One to Go
"She made me feel warm inside," Samantha said with a depressed look. Inuyasha was surprised; she is so much more like him than he thought. First Kikyo was his warmth, but she died. The warmth Kikyo gave him soon died out. Then Kagome became his new warmth. He knew how Samantha felt, now. Samantha snapped out of the crucial visions that had entered, on their own, into her mind. "Ok. I'm done with my questions. At least I think so. You may ask your questions, now," Samantha said. "How did you come here?" Miroku questioned the young woman. "Well, I was at Kagome's house, and I saw a bright pink light come from a tiny shed. I went there and my conscious told me to jump in it, so I did. I saw another well and climbed out. So that's how I came to this place."
Suddenly a pink light surrounded Samantha's left arm. 'What the…" was the saying in their heads. The pink light stopped, but Samantha fell lifeless on the floor. Miroku quickly untied the cloth around her left arm and caught a glimpse of the huge scar disappear. After the pink faded away, a green light was near Samantha's hands. The green light formed a bow in her hands. "It's like Kagome's powers, but it's green," Shippo said enthusiastically. "Do you think that means that she is a priestess like Kagome?" Miroku questioned himself out loud. "I guess so. Now, what should we do with her?" Inuyasha questioned the monk. Before Miroku could answer, Samantha woke up. "What, do you think, happened to me?" Samantha questioned the group. She felt compelled to go outside. She sensed a disturbing aura; one she could not possibly forget. Although she kept it to herself, she knew they would find it sooner or later. "At the moment, we do not know, but do you mind if you could do something for me?" Miroku questioned the green-eyed girl.
"What is that?" she answered back. Miroku stood up and grabbed one of Kagome's arrows, held it towards her and said, "Grab that bow, take this arrow, go outside, and shoot it towards a tree." "But I've never taken archery, and-," Samantha was interrupted by Inuyasha. "Just do what he said," Inuyasha said coldly. Samantha hesitated, but finally got the things and went outside. 'Just why do they want me to do this' Samantha thought. As she slowly pointed an arrow towards the tree, Samantha felt the same thing that cut her arm. The demon jumped out of the trees, determined to kill Samantha. Before Inuyasha had a chance to take out his sword, Samantha screamed, "You again," then she shot the arrow towards the demon. Green light surrounded the arrow as it hit the demon, and it completely disappeared, leaving a burst of green light behind. Samantha pulsed with the sensation of the things Koga had in his legs. Samantha bolted to the deeply dark light. So did Inuyasha and the others.
That light was horrid. They probably couldn't touch it, but only a priestess could. Samantha bent down and grabbed the jewel shard. As soon as she touched it, it was glowing far more pure than Kagome's touch. 'So she is a priestess like Kagome." Miroku thought. "How would you like to accompany us on our journey?" Miroku asked, determined to get her to say yes. Before she could answer, Sango yelled, "Hey, guys. I'm back."
