Well here it is chapter 4 of my first fanfic wow my last chapter was a bit depressing that flash back was Kazeko telling her story about her village and how she came to meet up with Inuyasha and the gang (I really didn't want to write the whole thing with Kazeko talking so i put it in flash back mode) so sad and theres a bit more to come hopfully no more sad stuff(maby). Sorry to all my readers for that but I for one am quite impressed with myself I owe it all to the auther of my favorate stories both novels and fanfics who helped to inspire me to write. Now on to the story!
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha I only own this fanfic and the charecter Kazeko. Although I wish I had my very own Kilala oooooo she is soooo CUTE!
Kagome looked at the small girl in front of her. Kazeko had a stream of tears running down her face and she was cluching her cloak tightly in her hands. Kilala seeing the young girl's tears jumped from Songo's lap to the youger girls. Kilala rubbed against Kazeko trying to soothe her.
Kagome placed a hand on her shoulder. "Kazeko?"
Kazeko looked up at Kagome and started to wipe away the tears. "That happend nearly a month ago then about a two days ago "He" came."
"He?" Asked Miroku.
"I'm not sure what his name he never said it, all I know is that one day he came to the village demanding that we give him the jewel and when we refused he sent these wasp things everywere and they tore up the place." Kagome looked at her friends when she heard this they looked back at one another knowing who it was after the shard. Kazeko didn't notice this and kept talking.
"Lady Kyoko had put up a special barrier around the shard so that no one could get it. So he wasn't able to find it but he said he could sense it was in the village. He said he would be back in a week to retrive the jewel and if we didn't give it to him he would destroy the whole village. "
"Lady Kyoko said that it would be safer to get the jewel out of the village and take it to the village were the jewel was orginaly protected. Lady Kyoko suggested I take the jewel because I could reach the village faster. I left the village about two days ago so the demon will return in five days."
"Do you know what the man was wareing when he came to your village?" Songo asked.
Kazeko thought for a moment. "He was dressed kinda like a blue and white babbon."
"Naraku." Inuyasha said.
"It has to be but why would he just leave a village standing?" Miroku asked.
"He would have simply destroyed it." Songo added.
"Who's Naraku?" Kazeko asked.
"He's someone who's after the jewel," Kagome explained. "We've been trying to stop him before he can collect all the shards."
Kagome reached into her back pack and pulled out the tiny jar were she kept the shards.
Kazeko looked at the shining jewels in the jar with awe there was maby four or five shards. "You've collected so many. But wait how come you guys are collecting the shards and not the jewel's protecter?"
Kagome smiled sheepishly. "Well..." Kagome proceded to explain how she was a reincarnated priestess and who she had met Inuyasha and was the one who broke the jewel. Kazeko sat there in awe.
"Wait," Kazeko said. "Why was Inu-chan stuck to a tree?"
"Non of your buisness," Inuyasha stated plainly standing up. "And don't call me Inu-chan."
Inuyasha walked off leaving the others and a confused Kazeko.
"Did I say somthing bad?" Kazeko asked.
Kagome looked at the girl beside her. "No it's just somthing he dosen't like to talk about."
Kazeko looked in the direction were Inuyasha went. Still not fully understanding.
"If we are going to Kazeko's village we shoould get some rest and leave in the morning." Miroku said breaking the silance.
Songo nodded her head in agreement. "Your right, I'll go get some fire wood so we came get a fire started."
Songo stood and started to the forest. Kazeko jumped up and followed.
"I'll help." Kazeko called running up behind the demon slayer.
"Alright but stay close."
"Shippo-chan you come too!" Kazeko yelled. Shippo blushed a little when his name was called but fallowed the two girls.
"Looks like Shippo has another crush." Kagome said with a giggle.
Kazeko picked up another stick and added it to the growing pile in her arms. She turned and headed over to were Songo wascolecting more wood.
"How's this?" She asked holding up her stack.
"That should be enough for the night." Songo looked up, the sky was stating to grow dark.
"We better get back before it gets too dark."
"Were's Shippo-chan?" Kazko asked looking around.
Then said demon popped his out from behind a bush. "Here."
"Found him." Kazeko said pointing at the fox demon.
Songo giggled softly. "Alright lets get going."
The trio walked back to were the others were and started to builed a fire. The other had moved camp by a tree at he edge of the forest. After setting up the sticks so they were shaped like a cone. Shippo threw a fire ball at it.
"Fox Fire!" The wood quickly caught fire and soon there was a large fire warming everyone up.
"Wow Shippo-chan I didn't know you could do that." Kazeko said sitting next to the fire smiling up at Shippo.
"Thats only half of what I can do," Shippo said proudly puffing out his chest.
"It's all you can do," Inuyasha said.
"It is not!" Shippo yelled back.
Kazeko smiled at the two as they argued. It's hard to believe those two aren't brothers. Kazekothought.
The argument ended when Inuyasha hit Shippo on the head.
"Kagome!" Shippo whined holding his head, glaring at the older boy.
Kazeko smiled again. Yep, they definitly act like brothers.Kazeko tilted her haed back and looked at the stars. Millions coated the never ending night sky.
Songo let out a yawn streching her arms up high. "Well I don't know about you guys but I"m going to sleep."
"We will have to get an early star tomorrow if we are going to get to Kazeko's village in time." Miroku said.
Kagome pulled out her sleeping bag and spread it out. Kilala transformed into her larger form and curled around Songo who was laying on the ground. Miroku leaned against a tree while Inuyasha jumped into another. Shippo lay on top of Kagome once she was inside her sleeping bag. Kazeko layed next to the tree that Inuyasha was in and layed down wrapping her cloak around her. She listened to the other breathing as it slowed signeling that they were asleep. Kazeko could feel her eyes grow heavy, and soon her was sound asleep.
Inuyasha sat on a branch just above Kazeko. He hardy went to sleep most nights he would just keep watch for danger. He could hear as one by one each person fell asleep. He closed his eyes but kept his ears alert foe any sings of danger. It was about an hour later when he started to hear the faint sound of whimpering. He looked down to the ground and saw were the noise was coming from. Kazeko lay on the ground tossing and turning causing her cloak to fall from around her. A thin layer of sweat coverd her forhead. Inuyasha jumped down from his perch and looked at the other. Kazeko's restless sleep hadn't woken any of the others.
Not sure what to do Inuyasha placed a hand on the restless girls shoulder and started to shake her gently.
(Kazeko's Dream)
Kazeko ran, as fast as her legs would go, through a never ending darkness. She was being chased but she didn't know by who.
"Takunii, Takunii!" Kazeko screamed looking ever witch way for her brother. Then there he was just a few feet in front of her.
He held a hand out to her. "Kazeko."
"Takunii!" Kazeko ran to her brother but no matter how much she ran, she just couldn't get any closer. Then he was gone and there standing in his place was the demon tyhat had came to her village just days before. The demon that the others had called Naraku.
"It's hopeless you can't save your brother." He said in a sinister voice. He moved aside to reveal a motionless Takuya laying on the grond. He was coveredin scatches and lay in a puddle od blood.
Kazeko screamed at the sight. She once again started to run toward her brother, but just as she ran Naraku came rushing at her. His eyes glowing red...
(End dream)
Kazeko woke with a started letting out a scream but it was quickly muffled by a hand. Kazeko looked to the owner of the hand to see Inuyasha crouched down beside her. He removed his hand and looked at the frighted girl before him. She was coverd in a cold sweat and was shaking violently.
"Calm down," Inuyasha whiapered. "It was just a dream."
Kazeko looked at the older boy in front of her. Tears started to run down her face. She lunched herself at him grabbing on to his shirt as silent sobbs racked through her body. Inuyasha leaned back in surprise, not sure what to do he was suddenly wishing Kagome was awake, she knew how to handle this kind if stuff better. He looked at the the crying girl holding on to him like her life depended on it. Slowly he placeed a hand gently of he back. They stayed like that for a few more moments until slowly the sobbs died down leaving Kazeko worn out and puffy eyed.
Kazeko lifted her haed from Inuyasha's chest, a small wet spot right in the center of his shirt. Kazeko wiped her face as best she could. Only making a bigger mess of her face. Inuyasha reached over to Kagome's bag and pulled out thin white sheets that Kagome had called tissues. He wiped the small girls face then threw the tissue by the tree not knowig what else to do with it.
"Better?" Inuyasha asked the girl.
Kazeko nodded her head keeping her head down. "I'm sorry."
Inuyasha placed a hand on the girls haed. Ruffling her hair a bit the same thing that her brother use to do. "Don't worry."
"Naraku was there," Kazeko said in a monotone voice. "He was there in my dream with Takunii. He killed Takunii."
As single tear ran down her face.
Inuyasha couldn't help but feel for the child, he knew all to well how Naraku could ruin a life. Or even take one.
"You don't need to be afraid of him." Inuyasha asurred the girl. "We're going to defeat him."
Kazeko looked up and stared at the boy. She smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Go back to sleep we need to leav first thing in the morning."
Inuyasha jumped back up in the tree. Sitting back against the rough bark.
"Inu-chan?" Kazeko called from the ground. "Can I sleep with you?"
Inuyasha looked at the girl and let out a defeated sigh. "Fine."
Kazeko bent her legs and jumped into the tree landing on Inuyasha stomech. Inuyasha groaned and held his now sore abdomen. Kazeko layed against the older hanyou quickly falling asleep.
AWWWWWW I couldn't help it I had to have a brotherly Inuyasha moment with Kazeko. I know he dosen't really show his caring side normaly but it's my fanfic. Personally I liked how it ended though I think I put too much dialog. Any way please R&R!
Me: oooh Inuyasha you are sooo sweet!
Inuyasha: Shut up! (gives death glare)
Me: You can glare at me all you want but I know you have a soft side.
Inuyasha: Thats it! (Inuyasha pouces)
Me: SIT BOY! (Inuyasha plumets to the ground)
Inuyasha: Hey only Kagome can do that.
Me: FYI Inu-chan this is my fanfic I can do what ever I want. MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Kazeko:Hi I'm Kazeko I hoped you liked fangirl-san's story so for. Please review!
