RESTLESS SOULS

Oro. I don't want to get in trouble with fanfiction.net....I entirely forgot about that you could not post chapters as author notes so I have added this. It is a preview to the sequel to The Female Exterminator, my first ever completed M/S fic. I would not want this story deleted after all the time and effort it took!!!! @___@

-------

      "Kagome, I sense a dark aura from the well house! This is bad! Very bad!" And the old man returned to his holy mutterings, folding his wrinkled hands together.

--------

      "WHAAAAT?!"

      "Jeez! Not so loud, okay?!" Sango murmured to Ranko.

      The said girl blinked sheepishly, twirling her dark braid between twiddling fingers. "Eeeh....Sorry about that...But how could you do something like that? And why?!"

      Sango let her breath come out in a low whoosh. "I want to stop slaying demons...I don't want to kill anymore....."

-------

       A slim figure up ahead caught his eye. Solitary, whoever it was looked lost. As Miroku drew closer, he realized it was young girl.

       She turned around, short wavy ponytail swishing softly with the movement. Despite she was a student; Miroku could not help but notice she looked much more mature, in face and body. Her ruby red eyes wavered over him.

       Though Sango had been a big influence on his life, Miroku just could never fight the urge to sometimes look and maybe even touch another woman he saw.

       Her crimson eyes already told him volumes that she was a demon, along with pointed ears adorned with emerald earrings. In one hand she absently toyed with an elaborately decorated fan.

       It was as if she had conjured a breeze that played with the cloth of her pea and white uniform when she stepped up to Miroku.

       "Hello, my name is Kaze Kagura."

[-Thank You's and Final Notes-]

      Yay! I'm really happy that Restless Souls is finally concluded! I was very pleased at the wonderful response to the final chapter! ^o^

      This fic will definitely be a lot of memories... some good and some bad...like the writer's block, the scary response for the super short chapter 7, evil virus, and me almost entirely giving up and wanting to flush this down the toilet. .;;

      Hahahaha! I don't need a disclaimer!!! Ha! Well, not like a really did any for a lot of later chapters...I don't think anyone noticed anyway...

      Wow...over 180 reviews...I'm overwhelmed. @_@ I thought this was not even going to do as well as The Female Exterminator. I considered doing a sequel to The Female Exterminator where Naraku returns with some ah... minions (ex: Kagura, Kanna...get the gist?)

       I have two new stories in the works. ^o^ One is a Rurouni Kenshin/Inuyasha crossover called Distorted Dimensions in which Naraku messes up the well and the Inuyasha gang follow, only to find themselves in the Meiji Era. The other is called Innocence, an AU Rurouni Kenshin fanfic which may seem light and fun at first, but it won't be as the story progresses... So far, I've only posted Innocence.

[--Individual Thanks--]
