A/n: Ok I'm sorry for not updating! All the computers that have in my house
have not let me get into my account for the past month! And all my friends
houses that I went to either didn't have internet, or I forgot the disk
that had this chapter on it so I couldn't update. So I am very sorry about
that. But since I can now update, here is the third Chapter!
Chapter 3:
Rumors and Jewel shards
It has been two week after Crystal joined the group, and since then there had been numbers of rumors of were a shard of the Shikon No Tama was supposedly to be found. When finally arriving to the location, there had been nothing but people who gave them more rumors. Inuyasha was starting to get annoyed with the rumors, and so was all of the others. The last place they had been to had declared that there was a rumor that kept coming into the little village from wanderers' and such. It was a rumor of two shards to the north of the pathetic little village that they were in.
"Go North for three days travel. You will end up at another small village such as ours. There will be the shards that you seek. Though I must warn ye young folk that there are also rumors about terrible demons guarding them. The other humans in that area will give you a place to sleep and food to eat if you destroy the demons, I can give my word to you on that, young ones." Those were the words of the villages priest.
" 'Go north for three days travel' he says, its been 5 days! And we STILL haven't come to ANY sort of human inhabitation! I'm starting to think that this village was just the old fools imagination running on high in his old age were he can't control much of anything anymore…" Inuyasha said walking down the dirt path through a forest that they had come to about two hours ago.
"Inuyasha don't be like that! Besides, we've stopped a lot more than usual due to food and being tired. Plus we have to keep healthy don't we? If one of us gets sick it would only make it harder to get to the village!" Kagome said walking behind him next to Crystal.
"Kagome is right Inuyasha. If more then one of us got sick we would be stopping a lot more then we already have" Added Miroku, apparently wanting his two cents in the conversation as well.
"Inuyasha just give it at least one more day. I'm sure that we'll be out of this forest and into the village by then!" Crystal said wanting to keep going and try to get a decent bed for the night.
"So what do you say Inuyasha?" Shippou asked hopping from atop of Crystal's head to Kagomes' shoulder. Inuyasha answered with his usual 'Feh' and crossed his arms over his chest, still walking forward.
~ Meanwhile ~
Deeper into the forest from our regular group a young man was fighting demons. He had brown eyes, and had black hair pulled back behind his ears into a tie. There were two cuts on his cheek, three around his right eye and one final one on his left side of his chin. He had a barley visible mustache and beard coming in and on his left side of his chin a bit of a stubble. He was wearing beige shorts, a black shirt with a yellow upside down triangle, and gloves just showing a little less then two thirds of each finger. His running shoes were black with black lasses as well. He was using a Wakizashi against the demons that were two tree spirits. He drew his wakizashi back and ran forward to strike. The sword hit directly with its target and sliced it into two pieces. He looked up to see the other spirit still trying to attack him, with very little success. He turns a bit to his side and with a quick flick of the wrist the spirit was also slit into two parts. With the first starting to come back into one whole piece, he grabbed the shard that was barley visible to the eye and wiped it off, leaving small circle of blood to reside on his shirt until he washed it out. When he was finished he turned to his latest victim and took the shard with in it as well. After inspecting his reward he stuck both shards into his pocket of his shorts.
"Very good Tock! I knew that you would do well against the spirits!" Myouga said now on the young mans shoulder.
"Then why did you leave my shoulder to seek hiding from the spirits in the bushes?" The young man named Tock said, with now a bit of annoyence starting to appear in his features.
"I was not! I had merely just hopped into the bushes at an instinct to see how good you really were!" Myouga said in his defense.
"Ok, lets go back to the village. I'm sure that the villagers would like to know that the 'Terrible' demons have been killed." Tock said turning north bound and walking back to the village, in the same direction that the Inuyasha group was heading.
~ Back To The Group ~
"Inuyasha! Two jewel shards! Straight ahead of us! About twenty miles ahead!" Kagome exclaimed, having just picked up that there were two jewel shards currently in their range.
"Then come on! We can't waist any time! We've got to get them!" Inuyasha said picking up Kagome and throwing her on his back, and Shippou as well for he was still on her shoulder at that point in time. Crystal, Sango, and Miroku had gotten onto a newly transformed Kirara.
"Onwards!" Kagome yelled and laughed a bit at what she had said.
~~~~~ Ok, that was the end of the chapter! But we still have to get the gang to meet Tock, so watch out for when I post my next chapter!
