Thump. Ia sat up in the darkness, her eyes slowly adjusting. Thump.
"Where is that noise coming from?" she mumbled to herself.
Thump. Shelooked across the room at the lump that is Miroku. She didn't trust him to sleep too close.
Thump.
"M-Miroku?" she whispered timidly, a little shaken. A crash was heard in the distance, followed by faint screaming.
She got up and walked towards Miroku. She knelt by his side and began to shake him.
"Miroku?" no answer. "Miroku?" no movement. "Mi-" Ia stopped, mid-sentence and looked down to see Miroku's hand planted firmly on her butt. SMACK! She smacked him hard in the face, leaving a large red hand print on his face. She scrambled across the room, trying to get away.
"What is it, my fair maiden?" he asked, sitting up and rubbing his cheek. A loud thump was heard just outside their area.
Miroku sat up, and straightened tensly. "What was that noise?"
"I was just about to ask you the same thing before you violated my personal bubble!"
"Now is not the time to argue, we should focus on finding out what that noise is." Just then a large red demon with one horn planted directly in the middle of it's head.
A ragged loin cloth covered as little as possible,leaving little to the imagination. Ia turned to Miroku.
"I believe I found the source of the noise." Miroku stood up and grabbed his staff, and leaped at the demon.
"I shall vanquish you!" The demon swatted Miroku aside, and he crashed into the wall, and crumpled to the ground unconcious.
The demon then turned and began to walk towards Ia. Ia got up and dodged to one side as it's hand came crashing down
splintering the wood where just just sat, seconds ago. The demon turned and made for her again. Ia looked around frantically.
She spotted Miroku's staff on the ground and picked it up. The demon was near. She swung the staff down, and it connected with it's face. The demon stopped, as if rooted to the spot,
then promptly vanished in a puff of smoke. She collapsed on ground, trembling.
"What the hell was that?" she thought aloud. She heard a moan from next to her, she turned to see Miroku slowly open his eyes.
He sat up quickly.
"Where is the demon?"
"I-I dunno... I just hit it and it vanished..." Miroku stared at her, mouth slightly agape.
"What?" Ia asked.
"Nothing. Just get some rest, and we'll discuss this tomorrow." Ia slowly went back to her bed and laid down.
She couldn't sleep, her mind fixated on what just happened.
Chapter 4 Section 2
Zac sat in a small room, made entirely out of wood. A small fire was burning in the center, releasing a sweet aroma. Tanaka, and Nakata were standing in the doorway,
Tanaka looked up at himm, but then he looked back down to the floor. Nobody spoke until the elederly woman stepped into the room.
"My name is Kaede, I wish to speak to you." Zac stared at her quizically.
"So then speak." he said. She looked at him.
"Be patient. Tanaka, Nakata. Leave us." the two at the door bowed, then turned and left the hut. "As soon as I set my eyes upon you, child, I sensed an unusually large ammount of spiritual energy." Zac raised one eyebrow.
"What, is that some sort of clumsy come on?"
"Do not flatter yourself, now let me finish." Zac closed his mouth. "I believe that you may be a direct descendant from my sister, Kikyo."
"Impossible. My home country is the United States of America. This is Japan."
"Which is where I'm stuck. But that is not important. I need you to preform a task for me."
"Name it."
"I need you to watch over the Shikon jewel, defend it from any demons who want to use it."
"Err... I don't even know how to use the powers."
"That is where Inuyasha comes in."
"Inuyasha?"
"Yes. Do you know him?"
"Err... no... not at all." he said deciding to hide the fact that he knew these people.
"Inuyasha come here." A man, with long silvery hair, and a red outfit stepped in. He looked very irritable.
"What?" he asked angrily.
"Attack this child." Zac's eyes widened, and he looked at Inuyasha, who flexed his fingers.
"Gladly." Inuyasha leaped into the air. "Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!" Zac felt hot pain in his shoulder, then darkness took over... and he couldn't feel or see anything.
Chapter 4 Section 3
Skie stood in the sun which watched over a small village. She looked at her new Demon slaying uniform. Black with Purple padding,
and a purple sash, wrapped around her waist. She had everything. Hidden wrist blades, Poison gas, MEdical supplies, and even
her very own Katana. A man stepped out of the crowd of which they stood before.
"You have been payed, so please take care of this demon."
"Have no worries." Sango said. "We shall vanquish this nuisance." Sango's father stepped up to Skie.
"You should sit this one out, you are not ready. Just watch us." Skie nodded in aknowledgement.
Crashing noises came from the forest next to them. They all turned. Skie watched as the villagers cleared the area.
She turned back to the forest just in time to see a large bear-like thing uproot the two trees closest to it.
"A bear demon!" a man with a large mace ran up and caught the demon, squarely in the chest. While it was doubled over, Sango's father ran up with a pole that had a crescent moon shaped tip on the top, and pinned the demon to the ground.
"I got him. Sango! Finish him off!" Sango ran up and pulled out her giant boomerang.
"Hiraikotsu!" she yelled and threw it. It went thorugh it's neck, decapitating it, and effectivley, killing it.
Later, back at the village, Skie was put through sword fighting. She was being taught the way of the Katana. She swung with all of her might and clashed blades with her opponent yet again. She swung again, only to be blocked. Every time she swung, she was only deflected. Her opponents sword came at her. She ducked and kicked upward, knocking the sword clean from her opponents hand. He quickly grabbed his spare from it's sheath. He swung, but she stepped to the right and swung backwards, catching him in the back.
"Lethal hit! Skie is the winner!" her opponent trudged off,looking dissapointed.
"I won?" she asked.
"You win. Your showing amazing progress. You could become an important asset to our occupation"
Skie grinned at the complement. Sango's father presented her with a new uniform, no different than her other
except this one had bress symbols embroidered into the fabric. She bowed and walked off to her hut.
She was bloody tired, and wanted to get some shut-eye.
Chapter 4 Section 4
Cheyenne was walking behind Sesshomaru, keeping a close watch on him. So far, he's never spoken, or looked at her.
Jaken, the short green creature who turned out to be an imp, was glaring at her.
"Stop staring at Lord Sesshomaru! It is impolite!" Cheyenne swiftly stepped forward and punted the creature across the path of which they were walking on.
"Do not give me orders, imp!" Jaken came back with a large lump on his head, causing the hat he had on to sit more on it's side. He raised the staff of two heads above his head, and was about to bring it down. Sesshomaru was on him before he could say "Die!"
"Master Jaken, what do you think you are doing?"
"She is disrespecting us, sire! I was merely going to teach her a lesson."
"Any lessons to be taught here will be taught by me, so hold your toungue." Cheyenne stepped up.
"I could've defended myself on my own, thanks."
"Fine. I'll keep that in mind next time a fatal situation arises." Cheyenne glanced at Jaken, who was moping in the path,
burning insects with the fire that came out of the staff. Sesshomaru stiffened, and looked to the sky,
sniffing the air.
"What is it Lord Sesshomaru?"
"That stench..."
"Could you get to the point?" Sesshomaru's face got darker but he continued.
"That stench... It's Inuyasha"
And that concludes chapter four. What do you think happened to Zac, hmmm? Oh well. Hope you enjoyed this.
