Then over the weekend-events more unexpected than anything occurred. Soon everyone would consider Naomi's hymn/spell a blessing.
And this is how It all unfolded starting with Friday night for Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, and Miroku.
Back in the feudal era-Kagome and Inuyasha were on the run. Miroku and Sango right with them.
It didn't help that Inuyasha was human tonight. Well at least in the feudal era it was night-who knows what time it was on the other side of the well?
It seemed like they were ahead. And for awhile-they actually were.
Then the path split in four parts and how it happened nobody truly knows but they got split up.
Kagome down the far left.
Sango down the middle left path next to Kagome's.
Miroku down the middle right.
Inuyasha down the far right.
Before long four cries filled the night.
"Kagome?!"
"Inuyasha?!"
"Miroku?!"
"Sango?!"
Human is not a good thing for a hanyou to be. Especially when you go down a path with poisonous plants. Maybe that fruit wasn't such a good idea, huh Inuyasha?
Inuyasha doubled over. This was bad.
When your a monk with a wind tunnel in your hand-nothing is a good idea to put down inside your wind tunnel.
So when Miroku sucks in a demon and it breaks back out, you can pretty much say that his hand was useless and that he was unconscious.
When your Kagome or Sango all that matters is staying alive and finding Inuyasha and Miroku.
'The heartbeat!' thought Sango and Kagome at about the same time.
"Far right path in trouble!" cried Kagome
"Middle right path in trouble!" cried Sango
The two girls shot off toward wherever they needed to go following a now mental map.
Sango arrived first. With her was the only medicine that could fix Miroku's wind tunnel.
"Miroku!" screamed Sango when she saw the unconscious body
Quickly she realized that his tunnel had been ripped apart. Sango quickly applied the medicine and held Miroku sending a silent prayed that he'd be okay as she slung his arm over her shoulder and made her way back to the well where she planned to wait for Kagome and Inuyasha.
Kagome rushed down toward the path and finally arrived to where human Inuyasha lay slowly dying from the poison.
"Inuyasha!"
Kagome went through her bag desperately-Where was that poison curing herb?!
"Kagome....."
"Inuyasha eat this herb!" cried Kagome
While he ate it-Kagome helped him to the well where they met up with Miroku and Sango.
With that-All four took turns jumping through.
Time for a sleepover at Kagome's!
Naomi stood on the roof of her and Detective Toshiro's house. She felt a tinge which signaled the use of the power she passed to everyone on Monday.
With a smile gracing her face she looked down
"It never fails,"
On Saturday-Mom had a really long shift to do at work. Same with York and Miko's family
(York's parents who adopted Miko when her parents died.)
So York and Miko's family sent York and Miko to spend a day/night at Rin and Hyoma's since both families would be gone for quite awhile.
Everything went well until night fall. Thats when the storm came and the power got knocked out!
Had Endia and Rina not been at a friends house for the night-two shrieks would of came already.
Instead this came.
"Oh crap-stupid Tokyo power!"
"Oh Hyoma calm down-Its not so bad, if I could see,"
"Shut up Rin-This is bad I can't see a damn thing, dammit!"
"York, don't yell at Rin! And most of all don't curse like that!" cried Miko
Even when you live there-If you can't see then you are screwed. And if you don't then your double screwed.
"York lets go look for candles," said Hyoma
"How the hell are we gonna do that?" yelled York
"Theres a flashlight in the kitchen!" exclaimed Hyoma
The two headed for the direction of the kitchen
"Is this it?" asked York.
"Gah! Ow! No thats a freaking knife! Ow my hand!" yelled Hyoma who went on to curse loudly
"How about this?" asked York
Hyoma felt it and pressed a button. A small beam of light traced across the kitchen.
"Yeah-thank god its not another knife," said Hyoma illuminating his hand "Oh my god!"
Rin had the heartbeat on and detected blood. She rushed to the kitchen. Rin found Hyoma and ran cold water over his hand.
"Cure!" cast Rin healing the gash.
York and Hyoma then made their way downstairs to the basement.
The basement was a full blown mess and a maze all in one.
An hour passed and the flashlight died.
"Oh no!" cried the two in unison
Their sense of sight and direction were gone.
And now they were lost in the basement.
"Oh great-Now we can't see!" yelled York
"Shush already-How far are we from the staircase?" asked Hyoma
"I don't know!" yelled York
And so a couple more hours slipped away
"Rin, do you think they got lost?"
"In our basement-theres no telling,"
"They did take a flashlight,"
"Yeah-but I think that battery was dying,"
"Well lets activate our heartbeats and go find them!"
"Okay Miko!"
The heartbeats were activated and the two charged toward the basement now with a mental map.
"They are near the central vent!" cried Rin "Its a fan and the grate is lose-If they step on it...."
"Oh no we have to hurry!" cried Miko
"Miko?!" called York from somewhere in the basement
"I'm right here! Rin's with me!" called Miko
"Whatever you do don't move!" cried Rin
"Ah!" Hyoma screamed
"Oh my god! Hold on! Hyoma stepped on the grate and now he's holding on for dear life!" cried York
Rin rushed through the location pulling Miko along with her
"Rin!" screamed Hyoma again
"I'm coming!" she cried
Rin came to the vent and grabbed Hyoma's hand. She pulled him until she finally got him out. When he emerged-he was knee to knee with Rin who hugged him tightly to her body
"Oh my gosh-I almost lost you," she whispered half in relief half freaked out
Miko threw herself in York's arms.
After a moment the girls led the boys to safety.
Far off east in a nice camping valley was Toshiro and Chihoro.
Perfect area and if you followed a path you could come up on a grand cliff.
Toshiro grinned he was lucky to get Chihoro's mom to let her come camping with him.
He was working to pitch the tent currently.
"Do you need help?" came Chihoro's soft tone
"Na, I got it Chihoro," Toshiro answered
Chihoro smiled
"Well I'm going to go for a walk okay?"
"Yeah thats fine-I'm gonna go for campfire wood,"
When your Chihoro-you walk on paths.
You also barley pay attention especially when scenery is available.
So when you see something interesting you walk backwards to see what it was.
…...and walk off the cliff just able to catch the edge!
"Toshiro!" came Chihoro's bewildered scream
When rocks roll off the edge and fall you get more of an idea of high you are.
…..lets just say that you probably wouldn't want to look down.
Toshiro heard her cry and checked the beat.
She was off on the mountain path.
And she was in deep trouble.
Or should we say really high up trouble?
Either way-Toshiro ran back through the campsite immediately depositing all wood and rushed up the mountain path.
"Chihoro!" he called
"Help me!" she cried
Then he saw it-two small hand gripping delicately to the edge. Toshiro rushed to her.
…..disrupting the rocks she was gripping!
And with that all she lost grip
"Ah! Oh my god!"
But she went no farther.....only to find a heavy and tight grip latched around her wrist.
He pulled her up carefully....her shoes, loosened, fell to the depths below.
She immediately jumped up and latched her arms around him. He hugged her back and ran his hands through her creamy brown mid length hair.
"I wasn't gonna let you die that easily-I love you too much," said Toshiro
"Thank you so much Toshiro-I love you too," said Chihoro
When a lady has no shoes-the only place for her is on her boyfriend's back, carrying her to wherever they came from.
And that is just where Chihoro was put-on Toshiro's back for a ride back to camp.
Naomi smiled lightly as she felt that tinge again.
"At least my gift is in good use, thank you guys," said Naomi holding her silver locket
The last gift to her from her mother before heaven shipped her here.
"What's wrong Naomi?" asked Detective Toshiro
"I was thinking of my mother," she said staring out the window at the starlit sky
He put his arms around her small frame and gave her a hug.
