Chapter Five

x-X-x

Kagome hummed as she leaned against the trunk of a tree, it was nightfall, and everything was peaceful so far. She hadn't been able to contract anyone as of yet, but she knew she was safe where she was. Safe wiith the viperwolves.

Her soft humming echoed lightly through the forest, mostly everything was quiet so it was easy for it to travel. Kagome smiled as she felt more pressure lean against her, another one of the viperwolves pups' curled against her. The majority of the pack of viperwolves set out to hunt, or so she assumed. She had been at the viperwolves den for hours and none of them had eaten. She could only understand animals so much.

She knew that she would have to leave at daylight and try to find her way back to the others...they wouldn't leave without her...would they?

She wasn't entirely sure. She had only known them twenty-four hours, if not a little more. She didn't' know them well enough to know how loyal they were. That and she didn't know if she was the only one that was lost out here, from what she gathered when she met the others...she would say Jake would be one of the lost like herself.

Jake to her seemed like the type to jump into something more than think it over, and she was a pretty good judge in character.

Most of the time.

Kagome was jolted out of her thoughts when she smelt smoke. Furrowing her brow, Kagome gently maneuvered the pups so she could stand up. If she smelt smoke that could mean one of the others could be close by.

She gestured to one of the older viperwolves, "I am going to go investigate. I smelled something and I just want to make sure it isn't coming from one of my companions that I got separated with." She paused looking at the female viper, "Is that alright?"

The female viperwolf looked her over before turning to another female, then turning back to her giving her a slight nod. Smiling Kagome gave a nod in return, "I will be back when I can." With that said Kagome jogged off into the forest, letting her nose guide her to the smell the smoke came from.

Kagome walked as quietly as she could thru the forest, she wanted to make sure it was her companions she was meeting and not the Na'vi she had learned that inhabited Pandora. She needed to be careful, she didn't want to end up meeting the Na'vi along...that would probably end very badly.

From what she heard, the Na'vi hated humans, or as they called them Sky People. It was a weird name to give them, the humans, but she wasn't complaining. It was an interesting name, better than what they could have called them.

It only took her a couple minutes before she made it to a small clearing, she could hear the viper-wolves running around. Looking closer she saw something that relieved her. It was Jake! At least she now knew she wasn't the only one who got lost!

Before she could move another step, the viper-wolves attacked him. It seemed like they didn't like him very much, she smirked a bit and got ready to move towards him so the wolves would stop attacking. She didn't want the wolves hurt, she loved them already and they didn't deserve to be hurt because they were defending their home from intruders.

Kagome stopped when she saw a female from the Na'vi jump down in and save Jake. She used her bow to hit he viper-wolves out of the way, and ready to fire the arrow. Kagome moved as fast as she could and put her hand on the weapon and arrow making her look at her in surprise.

"Stop" Kagome whispered, and all movement in the clearing stopped. She could hear the whimpering of the viperwolves, some were hurt, but none of them were dead. Which was a good thing. Moving into the clearing Kagome clucked her tongue and the head viperwolf came forward.

Putting her hand on the viper-wolves head she whispered softly, "Take them home. I will handle the rest." The leader gave a whimper than a yip in understanding as it butted its head against her leg. The viperwolf gave her one last look before it rounded the others up.

Kagome watched silently as they all disappeared, before turning her attention back to the other two in the her back was turned and was concentrated on the wolves, the Na'vi woman took the stick Jake used to make a fire with and put it out. The woman looked rather annoyed and mad at him. Kagome inwardly smirked, as she made her way towards the two.

"Do you always get in trouble wherever you go?" Kagome asked Jake, when she stood next to him. He wore a sheepish look, and gave an apology.

Looking at the Na'vi woman, Kagome sighed before looking her straight in the eyes, "I am sorry for any problems he started...he can be ...well ...and idiot."

The woman looked at her curiously before it changed to hostility, "You shouldn't be here! Leave!" She glared at us both before she turned and headed back into the brush of the forest.

Jake being the idiot he was, followed after her yelling, "Hey! Wait up!" Sighing Kagome followed after him. She would come back to visit the wolves later, but she just found Jake and needed to stay with him if she ever wanted to get back to base.

Kagome ran to catch up to them, her feet touching the floor lightly so not to crush any plants until she came onto strip of root. It formed an elevated walkway and she moved across it with graceful balance which Kagome copied. She caught up to them, they hadn't stopped walking but slowed down some, it seemed like they were arguing.

"If we're so ignorant, maybe you should teach us," Jake said, she could hear a little irritation in his voice, but he tried to keep his voice even when talking to the Na'vi woman.

"Sky people cannot learn. You do not see." She put emphasis on the word "see". The Na'vi jumped towards another elevated root, both of Jake and Kagome following after. Kagome was amazed that they both made it, but she guessed the new bodies they were in did help...a lot.

"Then teach us to "see"," Jake replied, he was trying hard for her to agree. Threw this whole ordeal Kagome stayed silent, she didn't want to interrupt them, that and she really didn't have much to say. She was fine with taking her her surroundings.

The Na'vi woman suddenly stopped, Jake almost ran into her, Kagome also almost running into Jake.

"No one can teach you to see," She said not looking at either of them, the Phantasmagorical lights of the jungle falling behind them as they ran across an elevated root of an enormous tree, a horizontal trunk which was probably the size of an ordinary oak tree. A waterfall, light blue, almost silver colored water ran down a waterfall and into a deep gorge, bats with stingers and other night fliers swooping above.

Kagome sighed as she heard Jake shout again, and speak to the Na'vi who now stopped and was glaring at Jake, "I think we just got off on the wrong foot and you just have to get to know us. I'm Jake. Jake Sull-"He caught his spear on a vine and it spun him off balance. He dropped the spear and almost fell off the root with a "Whooaa, Shit!" and would have almost fallen off. But, the woman and grabbed his biceps, watching the spear fall down with a cartwheel and disappear in the water. He was pulled upright, Kagome giving him a look as the Na'vi told him to be more careful.

When they settled down, Kagome looked at the woman and asked quietly, "We need your help." Kagome knew Jake wouldn't ask, and what guy did? So she might as well get to the point..right?

"You should not be here, either of you." The woman hissed, she seemed to be getting more and more irritated with them both. Not that Kagome blamed her.

"So take us with you." Jake suggested, but was shot down in less than a second.

"No. You both go back." Kagome was about to continue the argument but the woman looked up, her expression filled with an unknown emotion. Kagome followed the direction of her eyes, seeing white jelly-fish like creatures float down towards their direction..

They danced gently around their head and shoulders, and seemed to stay in Kagome's and Jakes's general direction, and away from the Na'vi woman. Looking at the woman Kagome gave her a curious look, she didn't know what was going on, but she sure would like to. The jelly-fish like creatures fluttered and danced around them, Kagome let out a small laugh when one landed on her nose, she held her hands out letting one land there too.

"What are they?" Kagome heard Jake ask and she glanced at her, seeing her expression of wonder and dread, "Atokirina'. Seeds of the Great Tree - very pure spirits."

Kagome studied the seed, as it was called now, for a while and like a flock of birds, they floated off their bodies and into the sky, scattering into the darkness.

"What was all that about?" Jake asked as Kagome gave a nod in her direction as if saying she was wondering the same thing.

The Na'vi woman seemed shaken, grabbing Jake's hand and barking, "Come! Both of You!" Jake grabbed Kagome's hand without warning and dragging her along with them. They ran across large root across a mirror-like pool at the base of a waterfall.

Followed the woman, Kagome asking at the Na'vi woman as they climbed a sloped root-trunk, "What's your name?"

"Neytiri..." she said, "Yours?" Before she could hear an answer Kagome heard something on the wind and moved quickly to avoid it, but Jake wasn't as lucky as something wrapped tightly around his legs and fell off the root, falling into the foliage at the bottom. He ripped the rope thing off his legs and was about to run when Several Na'vi riders thundered towards him on six-legged, gilded and armor skinned alien Clydesdales.

The riders aimed at Jake with arrows and spears as they approached. He turned to run but more Na'vi seemingly melted from the shadows, carrying spears and arrows. Kagome jumped down and stood with Jake, knowing she wouldn't be able to escape even if she tried.

Neytiri dropped to the ground next to Jake and Kagome, confronted the lead rider in a sharp voice, "Tsu'Tey, what are you doing? They are my captives!"

Kagome stood up straight when hearing the voice, she didn't know the language, but she understood what was being said. She kept her mouth shut though. She didn't know what was going on.

The male Na'vi mounted off his Direhorse with grace, yelling back at her, "These demons are forbidden here. I will kill one as a lesson to the others!"He aimed his bow at the male, out of anger, and distrust.

Neytiri jumped in between him and Jake, confronting the male Na'vi, warrior to warrior, "Stop! There has been a sign. This is a matter for the Tsahik."

The male clenched his jaw, eyes narrowed but remounting his Direhorse and reattaching the bond, barking an order, "Bring them."

Before either Kagome and Jake knew it they were being dragged through the forest. It didn't take long for the to arrive to their destination.

Kagome and Jake looked at it in awe.

They has arrived.

They were at the home tree

Looking around her breath caught, it was beautiful and inviting. As she followed Jake and the rest of the Na'vi she could've sworn she heard the tree whisper.
