Chapter 3: Suprises and new beginnings
The kitsune was scared. She had never seen the likes of this kind of storm or heard of it in her lonely few years of living. It was to be no more because she was certian she was going to die either of the fire now invading the forrest or from being frightened to death. She was hidden pathetically, she had to admit, and wasn't surprised when another kitsune about her age approached her. He motioned that he knew of a better place to hide until the danger had passed and she gratefully followed, sadly leaving her forrest home behind for the dead.
The Foxes walked hand in hand down the path to where the bone eaters well used to be. It had been a while since Shippo had waited here for Kagome to come back. Shice then the jewel of four souls had been fused together completely and put in Kagome's care for the rest of her life. Walking over the lava stricken land they came upon the only things remaining of the well. The sacred Goshinboku tree and a small dip in the lava. Shippo was positive his plan would work. If he could only find Kagome.
"Are you okay, Shippo?" the girl fox beside him asked. Aura had been with him since that fateful day the world was changed. He would never forget that and he would never leave her side untill he died.
"I'm fine. I'm just worried about if my plan will work or not," he sighed taking her hand and leading her away from the well.
Meanwhile....
In the hut not far from the well, the revived and rememoried Kohaku sat with his sister and the monk Miroku. The three of them had been traveling around hoping their friends Inuyasha, Kagome, and Shippo were still alive. Soon they would find out.
Miles away from anyone but the city inhabitants Ioda, Destiny's mother, carefully finished the spell and waited. Destiny sat impatiently as the smoke slowly turned color. It was true then, the two in her house were to be the saviors or destructors of the world. The thought had Destiny worried. The rude dog boy had no trust and the girl was no where near ready for the task at hand. There was a gasp from the secret entrance of the room that surprised Destiny and Ioda both out of their thoughts. Turning quickly, they saw Kagome standing in the door way, shock written all over her face.
A few hours later in a small town...
"Miroku," a voice wispered, "wake up! We must leave, quickly! Before we are caught!" The owner of the voice cursed softly as the unconcious monk just rolled over,"MIROKU!" SLAP!
"Hunh, wha? Ow, that felt like Sango's slap," he said, now sitting bolt upright.
"That's because it was. Now we must leave. Inuyasha and Kagome are not far from here," she said," but we must move because you have not paid the tavern keeper yet and we do not have the money to pay him. Now get up!"
Kohaku came up behind her ready to leave with Kilala at his side. He stared down at Miroku and said," Your stuff is already packed. I did the honers. But you must hurry because the cleaning ladies have already been awake for twenty minutes and we must be out of here before they come."
Quickly and efficently he got ready and they were out of the tavern before the hour was up. The rest of the town was still fast asleep. Moving down the abandoned dirt road, Sango signaled which way they were to take in order to find Kagome and Inuyasha and they headed out.
Further down the road...
Aura sat up. She smelt a human she didn't recognize and he had a weapon. There were three more traveling with him, including one that had the scent of her own kind, or at least close to it. There was a different scent with it. Almost like charred plants. Close to the earth, but still on the scent of the third. The other two worried her less because they were mearly another male and a lone female.
"Shippo...Shippo wake up. Something is coming and I don't like the scent of it at all," she nudged him in his sleeping bag close to her own," SHIPPO!"
"Huh? Was wrong?" the sleepy Shippo slowly sat up and got on his knees. Then he caught the smell. It was slightly familiar but there was one he didn't recognize. He gathered his things and Aura took to his lead. Following his nose, he moved south along the road he and Aura had already covered. Then he heard a voice.
"Sis, should we be traveling this quickly? I thought they were further off," Shippo could tell that this voice belonged to someone recently into manhood like himself, if not a few years older than him.
"Yes," said a male voice shortly and sleeply. Shippo recognized this one. He would know that voice from a mile away. The one that always asked beautiful young girls to marry him and bear his only child when they traveled together. This was Miroku.
He moved from his hiding spot and Aura came behind him cautiously, "Well, well, well, if it isn't one of my old friends. How's it going Miroku?"
"Shippo? Is that you? Wow, you have grown," he said coming up behind Sango and lightly running his hand down her bottom. WHAP!
"Never changed have you. Sango either I can see. Though I don't recognize the one behind you," he said motioning to the young man behind Kilala carefully examining the newcomers.
"My name is Kohaku," he said moving forward to show respect," And your name is?" he said, pointing to Aura.
"Her?" asked Shippo," Her name is Aura. She was one of the only fox demons I found after the quake. She was also one of the few demons to survive. Though it's sad to say that Naraku lives as well. I found Sesshomaru and Jaken too. Unfourtunatly the little toad still has his two headed staff. The damage has gotten worse than the first day this whole mess started too and that was almost a hundred years ago. "
"Well," Sango said," Do you want to come with us to find Inuyasha and Kagome?"
"This is the Kagome you mentioned earlier, Right?" stated Aura.
"The one and only. Well, maybe not only since she's supposed to be the reincarnation of Kikyo. Anyways, let's go!" he said, letting Sango lead the rest of the group.
Mearly miles away from her friends, Kagome still stood stricken as the purple smoke came from both tea cups and swirled around her like a cloak.
A/N: CLIFFIE!!!!!!! Hehehehehehehehehehehe! Don't you just hate it when I do that? I skipped around a lot in this chapter because I needed to get more of the characters introduced. There are a few more newbies to come but, you know you can count on me to make sure they all end the next chapter with a cliffie!!!!! I'm so evil, no? Well, for those of you who didn't get the joke in the beginning of the chapter it has some thing to do with what I want to say but won't cuz it'll ruin the fun of laughing at all of the slow peeps.(Sublimital messaging rocks!) Later!!
