Chapter two ~ Travel companion
A family of three stood before Naomi. There was a father, mother, and a child. Their faces were hidden from her view by shadows, but they seemed familiar. The father threw the baby up high and then he caught her. The baby was giggling the whole time. *Yes, it was one of those 'awww!' moments*
Just then Naomi saw a shadow fall over the family. She wanted to yell at them tell them to run, but she was frozen. Her lips wouldn't move and her body wouldn't listen. She stayed rooted to where she was. Two glowing red eyes pierced her and the family. There was an evil laugh and then darkness.
Naomi sat straight up in her tree and almost fell out. She was sweating hard despite the chilly weather. She brushed the stray bangs out of her face and tried to calm down.
"Now what in the world was that?" She asked herself. She waited a few minuets until she calmed down. She then remembered her plan and looked at the sky. It was still dark the stars were leaving, but she still had plenty of time to grab her stuff and hit the road.
She dropped from her tree and crept soundlessly to the trailer. She swung the door open with a small creak, but so soft that her 'father's' human ears could not hear it, her ears, however let her hear every thing. She heard the muffled snores of the man, her soft and delicate footsteps on the ground and even her own breathing were heard clearly. She could also smell his cologne, she hated the stuff, it was too strong, and even the leftover food that he ate last night. She went to where she normally slept on the other side of the trailer on a small bed.
She grabbed a small backpack and stuffed a few pairs of clothes inside. She found a few sandwiches and added them in, too. Naomi walked over to the closet that was always kept locked and broke the lock quietly so that her 'father' wouldn't get up. She gingerly grabbed the wrapped package inside. She quietly pulled the paper back and opened it. Inside was a sword. She knew that it once belonged to her father and that he was a great and powerful demon, even though she never really knew him.
She held it close. She could feel the power flowing through her veins. She didn't know what it was about the sword, it just looked like a rusted antique, but she knew that it was more than that, much more. She heard him shift and knew that she had to hurry and leave. She attached the sword hilt to her belt and threw the book bag over her shoulder. In a flash she was gone, as though she was never there.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Naomi stretched and yawned. Morning had come and gone; now it was the middle of the day. She had ran as far as she could while it was still dark and took some time to rest in a tree while the sun was out.
She was in some kind of forest, she didn't know where. She didn't care where. She scratched behind her ear and rubbed the last of sleep out of her eyes. She hopped down and to her surprise ended up face to face with a young boy about her age. He had pitch black hair and wore an earring. In his hand was a golden ringed staff. (Guess who's this is! ^_^)
"Why hello, pretty young lady." He bowed.
"Who the hell are you?" Naomi wondered.
"I beg your pardon, my name is Kano. Yours?" He looked up with her, his eyes twinkling.
'Man, this guy is really freaking me out.' She thought and then said out loud, "Naomi."
"Well, Naomi. You are indeed a very beautiful young lady and I was wondering if you would answer a question for me."
"Why kinda question?" She took a step back.
He grabbed her hands and looked her in the eye. "Please, I am on a hunt for someone, and if I die, I shall need a someone that will take on the search."
"Yeah . . . What does that have to do with me? . . . If you think that I am going to take over your quest for you, think again!" She was practically growling. She tried to shake her hands loose, but he didn't let go.
"Please, I beg of you. Will you bear my child?" (Bet you know whose descendent this is now.)
WHAP!
"You . . . you . . . PERVERT!" Naomi yelled and with that hit him again, even though he was already unconscious. She saw the boy slowly open his eyes.
Miroku looked up at the angered girl above him. He held his hands out in front of his face. "I-I am so sorry. I didn't mean to offend you in any way."
"Pervert." Naomi growled. She pulled her book bag up higher onto her back and started through the forest.
"Hey, wait!" He yelled and she turned around to see him coming toward her.
"What do you want, now? I told you there is no way in the seven hells I am going to bear your child." He started into her blue piercing eyes.
"Please, don't hurt me." He cringed.
"I won't hurt you, unless you touch me or ask that question. Idiot." She snorted.
He stood a little straighter. "Then you won't mind me asking, why aren't you in school?"
"I could ask you that question." She smiled as he sunk a little lower, showing a fang.
"Y-you're a demon, aren't you?" He asked and then looked up at her twitching ears. "You are."
"*snort* Which do you want answered?" When he looked confused she continued. "Which question? You asked two. I don't feel like answering two. Feh. I don't feel like answering one now."
"S-sorry. Why aren't you in school?" He wondered, he could answer the demon part himself.
"I am home schooled." She turned and started on her way. 'Better stay away from the road, no doubt he's looking for me by now.'
"Oh." He followed her, that didn't go unnoticed by Naomi, but she choice to ignore him. They walked for a while through brush and mud. She listened for people approaching but didn't hear anything aside from Kano's staff and his heavy breathing.
Her ears twitched, "Shhhh." She held a finger up to him. At first he was shocked, he didn't think that she knew that he was here.
"Naomi, what is-" He was caught off guard by a jab of her finger and a muttered 'shut up'. She pointed upward and he nodded.
Just then a figure fell from the trees onto Kano.
"What the-?" Kano didn't get to finish, the creature started to attack.
End of chapter two
Liger003 ~ WHOO! I am sorry this took so long. I was shocked at how long this took me to write! This literally took days, and it is only three pages long! I am so disappointed in me. Normally a three page chapter will only take me a day tops. Sorry. I guess I need motivation. You know what to do, REVIEW!
