Chapter 4: 7, the even number...
Naraku kept an eye out for Rin, she never really seemed to get tired.
She just showed her positive side, never slowing down.
After the whole day of walking, they finally arrived to Mount Hakurei.
Naraku stopped, as did Rin.
She looked up and up at the huge place.
" Woah." She gasped.
" Come, we will find a resting place at the top." Naraku said, and continued going.
The group followed him.
When they reached the top, that was when Rin started breathing hard, from the long climb, Naraku cursed himself, thinking he should have carried her, but it was too late to go back now.
They walked over to a shrine, where two rocks laid.
" Hmm." Naraku smiled.
" Rin, stand back." He said.
Rin slowly took a couple steps back.
Naraku lifted his hand, revealing a ball of Miasma, and sending it to the rocks.
It glew.
One body grew, then two, three, four, five, six, and finally seven.
They didn't look in good shape but, they'd do.
They looked at the person who arose them from the dead.
" Who might you be?" One of the men said.
" I am Naraku, and there is something that I require for you to do." He said.
" And what is that?" The male asked, Naraku was guessing he was the leader.
" How would you like to have your life back, the desire of killing, seeing those fall before you, revenge, murder, and suffering?" Naraku said.
" Hmm." The male looked around in wonder.
" What is it you want?" He asked.
" I do not care who you kill once you are well enough to fight, but I do have a target for you." Naraku said.
They stood around waiting.
" InuYasha, he is a half breed who contains the rest of what remains here..." Naraku lifted his hand revealing a handful of shards.
" Hmm, the Shikon Jewel? We've heard of that. And you want us to search for the rest?" The leader said.
" Indeed, in fact, I am willing to lend each of you one of these, so you don't fail me." Naraku said.
" And what do we get in return?" The leader asked.
" Eternal life, all the desire of murder you wish." Naraku answered.
" hmm. Sounds tempting, I think we'd like to get out and see the world, and get us something to kill, and I think I know who we can start with." The leader said, and he was looking behind Naraku.
" Sadly, she is not on your list to kill." Naraku said.
" Fine, come on, let's get this hunt started." The leader said.
They passed Naraku each going off in their own direction, each taking a shard from Naraku as they passed him.
When the coast was clear, Naraku turned to Rin.
She was in the distance, so she probably didn't hear their conversation, but she was shocked at what he did.
" We will rest here tonight, Rin, come with me, Kagura, you find yourself some place to lay down, we will return shortly." Naraku said, and turned walking off.
Rin followed him.
" What are we doing here Naraku?" Rin asked.
" This is a place, where I need to rest for a while, that is all you need to know." Naraku said.
Rin nodded, and went back to looking and exploring her surroundings.
" Here." Naraku said.
Rin walked up to him.
" Hold on to these." Naraku handed her a handful of what she would just call leaves.
Naraku grabbed a few more, and headed back with Rin behind him.
When they returned to Kagura's resting place, Naraku took what the leaves that Rin was holding, and walked up to Kagura.
He made it into something, and made Kagura drink it.
" The poison will leave your body over night. Don't do this again." Naraku said.
She nodded.
Naraku stood back up, and walked off.
Rin watched him for a minute.
Where they were all in, was a cave.
Rin walked up to Kagura.
" Are you ok?" Rin asked.
" Don't worry about me, worry about yourself." Kagura said.
Rin ignored her, and smiled saying, " My name's Rin, what's yours?"
She looked at the girl.
" Kagura." She said simply, before rolling on her side facing away from her.
Rin sighed, but she moved over to a part of the cave where she laid down, and she was so tired, she didn't care about the hard ground, she fell asleep, dreaming happy dreams, of the future.
Aww, sweet dreams Rin.
Yes, Rin is going to see a little bit of Naraku's 'monster side.'
Until Next time, Leave some reviews.
