Sickly Child
Chapter 2

Setsa's eyes rolled as she doubled over with laughter. "You have got to be kidding me!" She yelped with laughter in her voice.
"No, I'm not!" Inuyasha yelled back at the others.
"I must admit, even if it's not as humorous as Lady Setsa makes it seem," Miroku began with a chuckle in his voice. "It is still quite hilarious." He began to laugh to himself.
"What's so funny?" Shippo asked as he appeared out of the woods with a confused look on his face.
Kagome's face was currently a red shade as she was laughing too. "Inuyasha, you mean you were beat by a fairy?"
He glared at Kagome, immediately silencing her from laughing. "Listen, this wasn't just any fairy, she has the powers of a Goddess!" He explained. But the laughter would not stop, even the clueless Shippo joined in.
"Okay, okay, I'm sure there is a logical explanation for this." Miroku said while standing up. "We have to find this fairy."
"You don't think that this fairy could be the dreaded Kisike, do you?" Setsa asked Miroku a slight sound of worry in her voice.
"Kisike?" Shippo asked Setsa.
"Yes, it is the demon that they say has the power of a water Goddess." Setsa explained to the small kitsune.
"But, I heard that she looked like a bat!" Shippo said with a bit of worry in his voice also. He stood on Setsa's shoulder now.
"That's not what I heard," Setsa began but was quickly cut off by Miroku.
"It seems that this mysterious Kisike has many different explanations as to what she looks like." Miroku said, the others stood along with him. "In any case I think it wise to get out of here and look for Sango. Who knows where she got off too."
"Who's Sango?" Setsa asked.
"A very good demon slayer." Miroku replied.
"One that Miroku tends to like sexually harassing." Kagome piped up with a slight smile across her face.
Miroku's face got a grim look on it as he turned to see Setsa glaring.
"So there's more than one, eh?"
"I can explain" he began, but was cut off as she picked up her staff.
"Oh High Spirits bring me the power of levitation." Miroku's feet rose up and he got a worried look. "Now send him to the next village, but be wary, this flight will not be a pleasant one." Miroku looked at her, his eyes' large and bulging. She raised her staff like she was a batter at a baseball game. Then swung as hard as she could and hit him to the next village.

Miroku landed in the middle of the village square causing quite an uproar.
A young girl wearing a new purple silk kimono stepped out of a shop just to have dirt spring on her like a wave. She stared at her kimono then ran into the crater created by Miroku.
"Hey, what exactly do you think your doing?!" She asked picking up the dizzy monk by the collar of his monk suit.
"Oh, hello mommy.." He said still in a dazed state.
"Oh my. What have you done this time Lord Miroku?" The woman asked, her voice immediately awakened Miroku. He looked at her through his lavender orb.
"Lady Sango?"
~
"Did he really deserve that?" Kagome asked looking after the way he'd gone.
"Partly," she began her explanation and response. "But I also just help us find the next village." She told the two. As she spoke a red line appeared in the direction, the Buddhist priest had flown.
"Well, what're we waiting for lets go!" Inuyasha crouched allowing Kagome and Shippo to board his back.
Setsa nodded and held out her hand a broom coming forth. She jumped on it and rode the broom front, crouched low, and speeding directly beside Inuyasha. She dodged tree branches here and there doing barrel rolls, going up and down. She laughed loudly so that the world could hear her sound.
Kagome coughed in Inuyasha's ear, but quickly covered her mouth with her hand. "Sorry," she said after she was done.
"Just don't get me sick." He responded, though he was completely absorbed in following the red line.
"Okay." She responded silently.
For the rest of the trip nothing was said. When they got close the village there was a worn down a path that they could follow. The red line also twisted and curved along the path so that they knew they were in the correct direction.
As they came around a corner, Setsa ran into a younger villager. She hit him head, on and the two went tumbling. She got up quickly and made sure that he was all right then checked her broom.
"AH! That's the second one this moon!" She growled throwing it to the ground. She held out her hand again and summoned forth another broom.
"I'm very sorry I didn't get out of your way." He said.
"I'm surprised you're still alive after a collision like that." Setsa replied.
"There's a demon in our village and a strange monk and a woman is currently fighting it. It has eaten ten of our strongest villagers!" He told them while looking over his shoulder.
"So you turn tail and run, feh, useless human." Inuyasha remarked.
"I'm not a fighter!" The villager growled back. "I am a scientist. I do not believe in such demons, but as you can see, I believe I just become a believer." The village man gathered his papers and went on his way.
Kagome held her hand up to speak but fainted. Inuyasha caught her. He wondered what this meant. Setsa approached him and felt her forehead.
"Oh my! She's burning up. We must get her to the village!" Setsa said looking at Inuyasha. He nodded his head and the two were of, Setsa on her broom and Inuyasha jumping next to her.
The two entered the village and immediately were attacked by a swarm of vicious demons.
"I thought that villager said there was just one!" Inuyasha growled and proceeded to taking out the Tetsaiga. He attacked the demon's with the wind scar and blew them away. "This is the work of that Demon Fairy. These are all water demons!" Inuyasha yelled to Setsa.
She nodded. She had taken Kagome in order for Inuyasha to attack the demons. Now the sick woman was on her broom in front of her as Setsa frantically searched for Miroku. She found him fighting beside Sango against a small, what looked like a fairy with bat wings, creature.
"Lord Miroku! We have a problem!" Setsa yelled.
"Well, as you can see I have a problem also!" He yelled back, but not in an angry tone. He was holding his arm, it seemed to look like his wind tunnel hadn't worked on the fairy.
"Hold on!" She told him, her eyes watched as the other girl hurled a large boomerang into the Fairy.
The Fairy gasped as she was hit back for the first time. "Don't let your guard down. I'll be back." And she disappeared, just like that. The demon's that Setsa dodged to get around also disappeared.
Setsa lowered herself and got off the broom. She set down Kagome near a hut and ran to Miroku. At first he thought he was going to get a beating, but that was not the case. Setsa hugged him close to her, a smile on her face. When he felt, her arms wrapped around his body he looked down. Tears had spilled from her eyes staining the pail face.
"I thought for sure you'd been killed," he heard her say in between gulps of air.
His arms wrapped around her and he kissed the top of her head. "I'm sure that I could have taken care of that Fairy with my own power." He told her. Setsa stood and whipped away the tears. A smile that cared told Miroku he need not look much farther for love. She was there and that was all that really mattered.
Inuyasha looked around for the demons he'd been fighting. Not finding them, he rushed to find Kagome. "Kagome!" He said when he'd found her. He bent down and kissed her forehead and she awakened from her deep sleep.
"I'm sorry to worry you." Her voice was horse and could only barely be heard.
"Lady Kagome!" The woman yelled rushing beside her.
"Sango." Kagome said lightly. "It's so nice to see you again."
"Sango!" The woman they called 'Sango' turned to see Shippo had jumped onto her shoulder. She smiled at Shippo and kissed him on the top of her head.
~
"The Fairy that attacked us, her name is Kisike." Sango told them. "Shortly after Miroku had arrived from his flight," her head turned to see Miroku and Setsa sitting closely together. "She decided to attack. I don't know why but it seems she's been waiting for a moment like this." Her eyes cast down to the ground in a little worry. The group was sitting outside near a fire in a night sky background. Their eyes attentively lay on Sango, they knew there was more.
"Don't worry," Miroku said. His eyes and face showed the expression of deep pain. "I will be fine."
"What happened to you?" Setsa asked. She was checking him for any further injury.
"I." He began then shook his head, as if he decided against saying that. "Or rather, she knew the way to stop my wind tunnel."
"But I thought that all those bugs were from Naraku." Kagome looked at him with a puzzled look.
"There is another way to stop it." Miroku felt Setsa's hands grip his own hand. He stared at her in bewilderment for a moment then continued. "Lightning. A powerful lightning spell could put me down for quite a while. Think of it like this, it is the same as if I was being shocked, but one million times worse."
"But I thought Kisike was like a Water Goddess." Shippo sounded looking a little confused himself.
"She is, but even a light lightning spell could hurt him deeply." Inuyasha's voice said, he seemed to have been intently listening but his eyes were closed.
"So what now?" Shippo asked the others.
