Chapter 12 Dragon Tales
Miroku grinned as he watched the group from up the hill trudge along. He could see Sango glaring at him from her beautiful brown eyes. That only made him grin more. Being a demon had its advantages.
" Curse you Miroku!" Sango cried.
The group had been walking for hour's non-stop. The humans, Kagome and Sango, were tired as hell. Miroku, Shippou, and Inu Yasha were quite happy though. All three demons were waiting for the girls, chuckling as they walked along.
' You had always been a walker though, huh Miroku. Always leaving the group at night when they had been asleep.'
Shaking his head, he continued watching the poor girls as they reached the top. The first thing he received, not a hello or how ya doing, but a smack on the head. Laughing, he rubbed his sore cheek and looked at his attacker. Sango only growled and turned her back toward him.
" Aw, Sango, I was only playing." He chided.
She just glared at him and continued forth. Sighing, he fallowed. The sun beat down on the back of his neck as he trudged along. The day was gunna be long and hard, he knew. But figuring whining about it wasn't going to help, he walked onward.
~*~ ~*~
Shadow crossed the river and looked up, his ears alert and his body ready. Glaring at the group, he watched as they walked across the cool sand unknowing. They didn't know, they never would. No one would know. Now, he only had to figure out how to make the right move.
' One move, your stuck, two gone, five afoot. No, nine!'
Shaking his head, he looked down. His mission was simple. Steal, take, eat. That was his orders, the orders that the man said, the man in his mind. He told him what to do and how. The directions were easy.
' Food.must.have.food.'
He drooled and rubbed his head against a tree trunk. No food, not now. Not until he was done.
Something moved. Quickly, he got up and growled. His dog fangs bared as the human walked out. The person seemed surprised. She held a thing of corn in her arm. Instantly Shadow jumped onto the woman, tearing into her. He began to eat.
*****
Jack trudged along, bored and tired. He had just slayed a dragon demon and his clothes showed it. He had several burn marks and a few bloodstains.
' But where would a dragon be coming from?'
He didn't know much about dragons, but he knew they only stayed at their breeding grounds, and the woods weren't their breeding grounds. Usually caves and swamps was where they stayed. Either that, or there was a dragon breeder around.
' Oh wonderful, a breeder.'
Breeders were just as much of a pain as dragons. They were extremely protective of their homes and dragons and fought like more of a demon then human.
Suddenly a large shadow went over him. Looking up, he saw a large black dragon looking down at him.
' Uh oh.'
The dragon spun around with its tail and tried to hit Jack, but he jumped away before the huge thing hit. Grabbing his sword, he jumped on the dragon's back. It roared and tried to get him off, but Jack plunged his sword into its back.
' Well aint this fun.'
It howled and spun, sending Jack flying off. Jack cried out as he hit a tree with his back, hearing the bones crack. Soon he was engulfed in flames. Screaming in pain, he tried to shield himself. No use. Jumping on the dragon, he took out his sword and fled.

Kagome smiled as they finally got to the top of the hill. Suddenly, her eyes went wide.
" What's wrong Lady Kagome?" Miroku asked.
" Look."
Everyone looked in the direction she was pointing, to see hundreds of dragons. All different colors and sizes. Most were taking care of their young, but some were walking around bored.
" What's wrong, never seen a dragon before?" Inu Yasha growled, walking up to one and petting it on the nose.
" Aren't they dangerous?" Kagome asked.
" No, they are breeding dragons, trained." Inu Yasha said, pointing left. An old cabin stood out in the middles of all the dragons.
" Why don't we go see who owns it, I've never met a dragon breeder." Sango suggested.
Everyone nodded but Inu Yasha, who wasn't to look for more shards, but decided to go anyways. All of them slowly walked over to the home, knocking on the door. Kagome watched it open; to see a young boy, maybe 16 or 17 open it.
" Hi, we just wanted to see where the breeder to the dragons were. Do you know?" Asked Sango.
" I am he." Said the boy, looking down.
" Oh. May we come in."
The boy didn't argue, opening the door for them. Everyone walked in and took a seat. Kagome looked at the boy, studying him. He was tall with short brown hair that went over on eye. He wore a cloth over his eyes and had one a blue dirty shirt and pants.
" My name isn't important, everyone just calls me D.T. for Dragon Tamer. You may call me that, may I ask your names?"
" My name is Inu Yasha, that's Kagome, Shippou, Miroku, and Sango."
D.T. nodded and took out a pitcher of water, pouring some for everyone.
" No one comes around here anymore. Its rare to see another person." He sighed.
" Why?" Asked Kagome.
" Nothing, don't worry about it. Just drink." He said, walking out of the room.
That night, Kagome layed down on the warm bed. D.T. had allowed them to stay the night, offering them much more then they needed. They had refused, other then Miroku, and had said a warm bed and food was enough.
' Wonder what wrong with him though?'
The boy had not smiled at them once. His voice was very monotone, as if he had no emotions. He also kept moving his head side to side every once in a while, as if looking for something or scared.
" What's wrong?"
Kagome looked up to see D.T. at the door. He walked in with a glass of water, handing it to her.
" Nothing, just thinking."
" About what?" He asked.
" Just why you don't smile. What's wrong?"
D.T. sat on the bed, looking down. Slowly, he took off the cloth from his eyes, looking up at her. Kagome gasped. Two golden eyes looked at her, but neither had any pupils.
" Your blind, a blind demon."
D.T. sighed. " Yep, happened a few months ago."
" How, how did that happen." Kagome asked, a little upset.
Looking up at her, he looked back out the window. " Another demon lives around here. In order to live, he needs to steal eyesight from people. Only those with very good eyesight can he take. The problem is he is invisible and has three shikon shards."
Kagome gasped, both from what happened and the shards.
" Don't worry, we will help you." She whispered, smiling.
******
Jack grinned as he ate a demons leg, the sweet meat of the flesh sweet in his mouth.
' This is the life.'
Suddenly, a hand clamped over his eyes. He let out a cry when he felt something tugging slowly. Screaming in pain, he finally let out a final gasp and fell to the ground.
***** I actually decided to continue, holy crap! LOL. Well, R&R! Thanks. Sorry bout the wait. ****
