From the Shadows come Light

Chapter Three ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

It was mid day Duo and Sango had been on the beaten path for awhile now, Sango skin was starting to peal from the burns she had gotten during the attack on her village. She was sweaty and she figured she'd soon begin to smell if she didn't take a bath soon. Duo grudged on up the hill and turned to see Sango half way up it. "Sango, your dragging." He told her and she replied in heavy breaths trying to pick up pass. He looked in the sky and lifted his hood from his head and closed his eyes. *I can't find it! Damn it all to hell, I can't believe this shit!* Sango finally reached him and he looked angry.

"I am sorry Duo, I will get faster I promise." He looked down at her and patted her head. "It's not you Sango, it's me." "Where are we going Duo?" "I have no idea Sango that's the problem." "Oh well maybe I can help where do you want to go?" "Let's sit down Sango, I need to think." They walked over to the shaded tree. They had to have sat their in silence for an hour or two. When Duo seemed to awaken from his trance.

"Sango you can't stay with me." "Why not?" "Because I am not from around here." "So I can come back with you to your village." He shook his head "No Sango you can't, My village isn't where you belong and it's also in heavy battle." "So I can still come." "Sango you just can't make the trip to my home okay, just trust me when I say I am from a whole different country then this one, I want you to stay at that village with Lady Kaede." Sango scowled "I don't want to stay their with that old crusty woman!"

"Well your going to have to Sango, because you can't stay with me I am in the middle of a dangerous battle I don't want you to get hurt. And I can't do my job when your around it screws up my concentration." He sighed while standing up, he leaned down and lifted Sango to her feet. "Sango there are things that your just to young to know about, and with me you would never have a safe average life." She could see that she wasn't going to change his mind so she'd bargain her way through the situation.

"If I stay behind will you visit me please?" "When I get the chance I will come and visit you but you must stay in that village or I won't be able to find you." She shook her head yes, "It my be awhile before you see me but i'll come back and say hello to you." "Alright, I understand." Duo smiled and he took her hand and it seemed like the bright day disappeared and they were walking through the darkness with a faint glow of light. Then suddenly they were in the sights of the village and Sango turned to look behind her only to receive the wind whipping in her face and a long empty road. She whispered bye to Duo knowing that he would keep his word and see her soon.

The villagers ended up welcoming her in to their she told Lady Kaede about what happened to her village, and how Duo saved her life. She told Lady Kaede that she was the second youngest of the exterminators tribe, and that she wish she could continue training. With that Lady Kaede told her if that is what she wanted then she should and she'd help along with the young priestess in training Wari would help her. Since she was very good with healing and spells.

Duo faded in and out through the shadows until he reached a temple. As he approached the sacred land mark guards tried to stop him from entering. This made Duo angry he way laid one of the guards in the face and sent him on his back and kicked the other in the stomach witch sent him flying into the double gate doors and made them fling open. Duo stomped in and looked to see an old monk gardening, he stalked towards the man tapping his foot on the ground.

The monk just went about humming his little melody planting seeds. Are you Roaki? The monk looked up and huffed out a laugh, "No my son I am not Roaki, but shall I ask why ye are looking for Roaki?" Duo smirked "I have a confession and he is my priest, and I am in desperate need of forgiveness." The old man turned back to his gardening, "Roaki has departed to the doctors, his only son seems to be very ill, and he told me he would return in two weeks time." He paused to catch his breathe and Duo looked up to the sky it would soon be dark. "But if ye are in need of confession perhaps, I could help you young man?" Duo waved his hand no and began to walk towards the gate he had only just kicked a man through.

"Well then their is no need for me to stick around here................"
