CHAPTER FIVE
I stared, totally amazed, at Kagome, wondering how such a small girl could muster up the courage to stand up to the cat-hawk. She may have a lot of power behind her, but still, she shouldn't have taken the chance.
Kagome sighed and turned to me, her chocolate brown eyes troubled.
"Well," she said in a quiet, tired voice. "You mind going to get her?" I nodded silently. I wanted to have a few words with the girl myself. So, I took to the trees and began to hunt the hunter.
After bouncing from branch to branch, always staying a safe distance away, I watched cautiously as she landed in a small clearing. I followed her lead, jumping down from a tree only a few feet away and hid behind a bush. Namir walked slowly over to a rock in the middle of the open space and sat, folding her wings gently on her back which was turned to me. Her tail began tapping the rock and I jumped when she spoke.
"Are you just going to sit there and observe me like a rat in a cage, or do you have something to say?"
I stood and stode confidently toward the angry cat-girl, still cautious and still on alert.
"Yeah, I've got something to say, and listen up. Kagome, Shippo, Miroku, and I all need your help. Kagome's just worried that we won't be able to do anything to stop Sesshoumaru before he gets the remaining jewel shards from where Naraku died. That's why she bitched at you and that's why everyone, well with the exception of Shippo, is so high strung." It was hard to admit but it was true. I still couldn't wield the Tetsusaiga properly because the wind scar hadn't shown itself to me, Miroku's wind-tunnel was still damaged, Shippo was just a child, and though Kagome had amazing powers she was without training so she didn't know how to use them effectively.
"I'm aware of that."
Namir had turned on her perch and was now facing me, eyes half lidded, and I could have sworn I saw a tear make its way down her cheek. Her gold eyes were cloudy when they finally looked up into mine and I could see the sorrow and secrets that lay there. Namir jumped down from her rock and padded slowly over to me. I began to growl threateningly; I wasn't going to be pushed around like last time. But then I noticed how her body wasn't prepared to attack. She seemed to be seeing something that I couldn't; something that I didn't need to see.
She stopped when she was only inches away from me, her breathing shallow and labored. Suddenly her eyes widened and she stared in the direction of which we'd come.
"What? Namir? Hey, what is it?" I asked. An uneasy feeling was growing in my stomach. From what I had no idea.
Out of no where a primal scream tore through the silence of the forest and made my breath catch in my lungs. Namir was already in the air and I joined her, racing through the trees. I panted but kept moving, every once and a while letting a hoarse yell of, "Kagome!" rip its way from my throat.
*~ oookay! I know this one's short but I needed to do something for my creative writing class… so what'd I do? I turned in this story. Heeheehee. So yes. Comment. A lot. And I'll have chapter six to ya'll as soon as I can. Thanks! ~*
