Sickly Child
Chapter 3
By: Silver Wind Wolf
The group slept that night as if nothing had really happened. Kagome slept underneath the tree which in which held a sleeping Inuyasha. Sango and the kitsune were resting by each other; the fire cat sleeping close to them.
But, Miroku and Setsa were set off from the group. Setsa slept comfortably beside Miroku, his hands wrapped about her waist, her eyes closed. It all just felt right. Even though he wanted to sleep, he couldn't. His heart was pounding and his thoughts were completely blurred. It was strange, he knew that he'd loved girls before, but never like this. Not once had he felt these emotions for a single woman. The rest of the world seemed to just be disappearing beneath Miroku's feet and the only one besides him that was there, was her. He closed his eyes, now really trying to sleep. He felt a memory, one of warmth begin to show from the depths of his mind.
===
Miroku was wandering through the forest. He looked to be about the same height and age as he was now. But, he walked with inexperience. He seemed to have just finished his studies with a master and was now upon the world to either reek havoc or help prevent it. He looked to be in deep thought as he heard a scream from afar.
It was a maiden's voice, and coming from the long line of monks with a history for attractive women, he ran to find her. The first thing he saw made him blush ever so deeply. His eyes laid upon a naked woman fighting off a demon.
"Well just don't stand there, help me!" She yelled. He hadn't seen anyone else around so he figured she'd been talking to him.
"Stand back!" He warned as he unwrapped the clothe and beads that laid around his hand and, in that very instant, the demon was gone. He grinned to himself, not only had he saved a maiden, but it was a very good looking maiden at that fact.
"Oh thank you!" She said as she hugged him, she seemed to forget that she had no clothing on, but he didn't. He stared down at the young woman's pail skinned body and fell over from blushing.
"Oh! Are you all right Sir Monk?"
===
Miroku smiled wanting to laugh. She'd seemed so innocent back then, but things were changed. He could feel it in his soul. His eyes closed and he was gone from that world. Gone from the one that held him down with laws of science and humanistic ideals. He felt as if he was flying and that Setsa was right beside him, smiling, as she always was.
~
"Ya think he's dead?" He heard Shippo's voice sound.
"No! Just a sleep." Sango's voice reassured him.
Miroku's eyes opened to a blurred vision of the entire group standing above him.
"Finally! And so the dead live on, eh Miroku?" Inuyasha asked the monk. "It's not like you to over sleep."
All of these voices were beginning to annoy Miroku. But, he needed to get up from his fantasy world, and so he did. "Yes, I am awake." He told the others.
Setsa smiled kindly to him. "I'm sorry, I tried to keep the others from bothering you, but they wouldn't listen."
The crowd disbursed into smaller groups as they began getting ready to travel. "They can be stubborn." He replied to Setsa.
~
"Okay!" Inuyasha sounded for the group to listen to his instructions. "We need to get going anyone know of any near villages?"
"Yeah, there should be one up ahead." A voice sounded from behind the group. They looked at each other, it hadn't been any of their voices. Who could this stranger have been. A young girl with silver hair stepped out of the woods.
Kagome gasped, "She looks exactly like Inuyasha!" She turned to see Inuyasha glaring angrily at her. "Heh..heh, only she's female." She said nervously hoping not to make the half demon to angered.
"I apologies." Sango said looking about. "But I must be off. I will meet you all in the village Okimawa. I have some business to attend to," she bowed and before anyone could tell her not to go, she'd taken off on the back of Kirara in her larger form.
"Okay.." Inuyasha said in a kind of distant voice. "So who're you?" He asked the girl.
"My name is Auron, and I am your twin sister." She told Inuyasha. This came as quite a shock, he'd never known he had a twin. "Before you were old enough to know of me mother kissed me and sent me down a river in fear that father would be angry with her for have a girl. So I was found by a family and raised in a village that did not fear me." She explained.
Inuyasha still had a confused look on his face. Kagome waved her hand in front of his face while saying, "Hello? Is anyone home?" Quickly he pushed the waving hand out of his face and stared at Auron.
"So you mean to tell me that, you're my sister?" Inuyasha questioned her, his face expressed confusion along with ignorance to this subject.
"Yes!" Auron grinned and jumped up and down. She seemed to be relieved that he'd excepted her.
"Wait, wait, wait!" Kagome said looking at the gleeful female half-demon. "I thought all of the female half-demons had been whipped off the face of the Earth." Kagome looked at her with a strange glance then pulled her head down and let out a harsh cough.
"No, no! You see I am Auron. I wield the all powerful Tensaiga!" She shouted and drew her sword. It swiped the air nearly cutting both Kagome and Inuyasha.
"Be careful!" Yelled her brother.
"I am!" She fought back defending herself.
"Are not!"
"Am so!"
"Not!"
"So!"
"Not!"
And while this continued Setsa sighed. "You can tell their related." She commented.
The group sweat dropped.
"Yeah..I'm surprised they haven't started fi–" cut off in mid-sentence by a loud roar, Miroku turned.
The two fighting half-demons turned to see a large dragon-like demon raise up from the depths of the forest. On it's head was the Fairy from before, the one called Kisike.
The demon looked like a dragon, but was long and slender like a snake. It twisted and hissed at the group.
"Well, well, if it isn't my formidable opponent Auron." The Fairy called out. Auron growled.
"Hey! You're the one that tricked me!" She yelled at Kisike.
"Tut, tut! Why are we so angry?" Kisike's red hair fell down her face as she fluttered up into the sky. "You did that on your own will, I only persuaded you." She replied to her statement.
"You're the one that killed all of those villagers aren't you!?" Inuyasha nearly screamed at the demon.
"No, to be quite technical my minions did it on their own time. All I did was tell them what to do." The Fairy stared down, she seemed to be looking at Setsa.
Setsa stared up along with Miroku. "Stay here," she commanded him.
"But I.." he began but again was cut off.
"No, I have to take care of some old business." Setsa's eyes were shaded by her blonde bangs, the red highlights shimmering in the sunlight.
He nodded, fully understanding what it was she needed to do. "Okay, but do me a favor," he began with a smile. But before he finished it had faded. "Don't get killed."
"I won't.." her voice was not convincing. To be honest, she wasn't sure herself if she was going to die or not. But all she knew was this was a battle that she needed to face. The broom formed again and she took off into the air. Miroku watching her fly away into the sun to fight this demon. He could do nothing and neither could the others.
Inuyasha and Auron began to battle with the monster. A horrible thing it was, as they fought the monster they were dodging water blasts from it's breathe. Both Auron and Inuyasha worked together to fight it. But as they fought Setsa had bigger fish to fry.
She flew upwards, straight past the dragon demon's head and then stopped. "Why are you doing this?" Setsa asked her.
The words reached Kisike and she looked up. In a shrugging manner she smiled. "I don't know, I find it fun to toy with humans." She replied a sly smile crawling up the ends of her mouth.
"STOP!" Kisike heard one of the human's voices from below yell up to her. It was one of the more pathetic looking females. She held a bow and arrow in a threatening stance.
"Don't you dare hurt anyone or I'll shoot." Kagome said.
"Don't be foolish, you are far to weak to even scratch me."
"Maybe," it his Setsa head on. "KAGOME! Fire!" The arrow fired from Kagome's hand, and now it was all on Setsa. Setsa's eyes closed as she raised up her hands. "Lightning from the skies and from the trees, I call upon you. Oh Goddess of the skies give me the power to help this arrow. Winds do your trick, lightning don't play sick. Come to the arrow, NOW!" Just as the arrow was falling it picked itself up and went straight for Kisike.
Kisike's eyes widened as she stared in fright at the on coming bullet arrow. She disappeared from sight just as the arrow began to burrow into her flesh. She fled the scene then reappeared near by in a cave. Looking at the wound she glared. "How could she have known? How could she have known my weakness?" She asked fully aware of the danger she was now in.
