Chapter 4: Traveling
The next morning the group woke up early and began on their way. "What are you guys after?" Tenshi asked.
"A half-demon named Naraku," Shippo replied. "We're trying to collect all the jewel shards before he does," he added.
"What exactly are these jewel shards," Tenshi asked.
"The jewel shards are from the Shikon jewel which was made by Midoriko," Kagome replied.
"And Midoriko is…" Tenshi continued.
"She was a priestess who fought many demons. In the end she forced her soul out and made the Shikon Jewel," Kagome said. Tenshi nodded in understanding. At noon they stopped for a rest and after they continued walking until the sun began to set.
"Inuyasha, we should stop for the night," Miroku said.
"I agree with Miroku," Kagome added.
"Feh, humans are so weak," Inuyasha replied.
"Sit boy," Kagome snapped sending Inuyasha to the ground. Tenshi stood up. "I'll be back in a bit," she said walking away. The others watched her in confusion. "Hey, it's not safe to go by yourself," Miroku yelled. There was no reply. "Should we go after her?" he asked.
"She'll be fine," Inuyasha said.
Tenshi walked through the trees and stopped at a lake. Even when it was almost dark, the water still glistened in the moon light that was now visible. She sat in front of the river and stared at it. Tenshi brought her hair to the side and allowed the blue dragon to be seen. Haku then came to her shoulder and looked at her. "Haku, why can't I remember anything?" Tenshi asked. She then stood up and walked back to camp. When she got back she lied down and went to sleep.
Tenshi's dream
Tenshi opened her eyes and looked around. It was completely black.
"Tenshi?" a deep voice asked.
"Who's there?" Tenshi asked. She was sitting on the black ground.
"It's me, Kenji," the voice replied. A man came from the darkness. He had short spiky black hair, dark green eyes and wore a black kimono outfit with a sword at his waist.
"I don't know you, I don't know this Kenji person," Tenshi replied. The man named Kenji walked closer to her, but Tenshi backed away. "Why are you afraid, Tenshi?" Kenji asked.
"Look I don't know who you are and I don't know how you know my name but just go away," Tenshi said and with that the blackness disappeared.
End dream
Tenshi woke up and looked around. She was back at the camp with her friends. Tenshi looked up, the sun was rising. 'The sun is already rising,' Tenshi thought. Soon later, Kagome and the others woke up. Once again they continued walking.
"Tenshi what's wrong?" Kagome asked sensing Tenshi's distress.
"Oh nothing, just a confusing dream," Tenshi replied. Inuyasha suddenly stopped and drew the tessaiga. "What's wrong, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked. Before he could reply, a large ogre demon came from the trees and headed towards them. Inuyasha killed the demon easily. "Weak demon," Inuyasha said putting his tessaiga back in its sheath and continuing to walk.
Kenji stood in front of a lord with long dark blue hair, red eyes wearing a black outfit sitting in a throne. The throne was black and the man sitting in it looked sad, restless, and mad.
"She's alive, why don't you believe me?" Kenji asked.
"Because she disappeared, she died. No child that young could've survived that long," the man replied.
"Father, I saw her," Kenji replied.
"It was just a dream," the lord replied.
"What if I were to prove it, what if I were to show you she was still alive," Kenji said. The lord fully looked at him.
"Very well, if you can prove to me she's still alive," the lord said. Kenji bowed and then left.
