"Well, that was about as fun as being summoned!"Kira chirped as soon as the light faded.
"Only you would think so, Kira" Kagome answered as she looked around them to find they were in a forest.
"Oka-san, I hear people over that way."Shippo whispered as he pointed to their left, Sessohmaru nodded in agreement.
The five of them(can't forget our favorite neko!) walked toward the sound of voices to find four kids, hobbits, standing on a dirt road, three of them picking mushrooms.
"Kagome, do you feel that?" Kira asked her sister, a dark aura was approaching.
"Hai." was her reply as the dark haired one called," Uh, guys. I think we should get off the road!"
The hobbit became more worried as the area darkened a bit the darkness shadowed the area down the road, "GET OFF THE ROAD!!"
The small, child like beings quickly clambored off the road and into a small crevis in it's side.
The older three quickly lept into the branches above, Shippo and Kilala in their arms while a dark cloaked figure appeared riding a black, badly hurt horse; stopping at the area the hobbits once stood.
The dark rider got off, looking around as if searching for something making what seemed to be sniffing sounds.
The hobbits huddled closer, bugs creaping across them while the cloaked being knelt down, sniffing.
Kagome and Kira watched as one of the red heads stopped the dark haired one from putting on a gold ring, evil energy practically pouring from the thing in waves, "Frodo!"
Shippo suddenly threw a crying mushroom far to the right, its voice ringing loudly.
The dark rider quickly lept onto his horse and headed toward the sound with a loud cry.
The five quickly lept down from their perch in the trees, landing near the four hobbits as they got out from the hole.
"Come, it will probably return soon." Sessohmaru commanded, quickly leading them further into the forest.
"Please follow us, Mr. Frodo, we wish to help!" Shippo said happily as we ushered the four.
We hid as another dark rider passed by and the hobbits caught their breath.
"That rider was looking for something…or someone, Frodo?" One red head questioned, looking at the dark haired hobbit.
"Kira, are you okay?"Kagome asked me.
Pursing my lips, I nodded before telling Frodo, " We were sent to help you, because of the dark ones."
Frodo nodded in understanding, looking at the two dark red heads," We need to get to the Prancing Pony."
The two glanced at each other before murmering, "Right, Huckleberry Ferry."
The seven of us ran threw the forest, dodging black riders.
I gasped as one suddenly reared up infront of Frodo, Sam, Kilala, and I as the others called to us, to hurry.
"Kilala, stay with Frodo!" I commanded as she lept from my arms and followed the hobbit; I grabbed one of my sais from my waist, swiping it at the cloaked being after charging it with purification energy.
The dark being screached in pain as I followed my sister's aura toward the river.
I quickly lept onto the wooden platform with Frodo and Kilala in hand as Kagome shoot an arrow at the dark rider behind us.
Quickly turning around, I watched as the dark riders screached again while riding along the river while pulling my fallen hood back up above my head quickly.
"How far till the nearest crossing?" Frodo asked.
"Ten miles to the Brandy Wine Bridge." Pippin's voice came quietly threw the rain.
"Now, Tell me how you know about Master Frodo!" Sam commanded protectively as he glared at us.
"You should watch your mouth hobbit, before I remove your tounge." Sessy growled, Gome frowned and hit him lightly as the hobbits stared at him, frightened.
"Don't mind Uncle Sessohmaru. He currently has, what Mama says, an icicle shoved up his ass." Shippo commented making me burst out laughing, careful of Kilala as she was hiding in my hood, while Sessy glared at Kagome, who tried to hold in giggles and admonished lightly, "Shippo! You shouldn't say that!"
"Well, that was fun, lets talk about this again sometime!" I chirped to the startled hobbits, Sessy switching to glare at me for my comment.
Kagome shook her head, before explaining...
All of us clamored off the Ferry and headed toward a town surrounded by large wooden walls. Sessy, Gome, and I stayed in back with Shippo in his mother's arms and Kilala hidden from the rain, in my hood.
It's amazing how, Sessohmaru was somehow able to produce a cloak for himself as if out of thin air and yet, I have to cast a spell to hide our markings because of his inability to hide them...
Anyway, Frodo knocks on the door of the wooden barrier.
Soon after, an old man opened a little window; trying to see us through the rain before shutting it and opening a lower window level with the young hobbits' height," Hobbits! Four hobbits, and whose that back there?"
I glanced at the others, Kagome stepped forward," Please excuse us, we only wish to stay at the inn, we don't want any trouble!"
"Very well miss, don't want to cause any trouble. Strange riders about, black riders." The old man murmered, opening the door and letting us in.
"Thank you." I whispered as I brushed past, handing him a small cloth of coins.
My eyes narrowed as we walked toward the Prancing Pony, men shoving the poor hobbits out of their way.
"Watch where your going!" Another man crowed, shoving Frodo and Marry out of the way.
I quickly whipped out one of my sais; pressing it deep against the humans skin as I hissed coldly," The next time one of you low life's touch any within this group. So help me, Lord, I will kick your ass so bad your grandchildren will feel it. And that's if I'm in a good mood and let you keep your reproductive organs, got it?"
"Kira, please let him go." I heard Frodo say as I felt my eyes flash molten silver.
I sighed, sheathing my sai and shoving the man away from me,"Fine."
"On ward!" I chirped, pointing towards the sign that read 'The Prancing Pony'.
