CHAPTER SIX: DECISIONS

As the sun rose in the east, the sun's rays of light touched Kohana's cheek and she woke from her sleep. She sat up and realized that she was still outside. She guessed that Sesshoumaru went inside the hut earlier. When she got up to stretch and she went in the hut but only to find Jaken but no Sesshoumaru. Kohana started to get distressed when she found Sesshoumaru gone.

"Jaken where is Sesshoumaru-sama!" she demanded.

"He told me that he would be back before high noon" Jaken answered.

Kohana ran outside and looked at the horizon and waited there until high noon. Kohana and Jaken waited and waited until they saw Sesshoumaru coming back with something in his hands. Kohana and Jaken ran to him and when he stopped they did also to get a better look at what he was holding. From what it looked like it was a miko outfit.

"Sesshoumaru-sama what's that?" Kohana asked out of curiosity and Sesshoumaru gave her the clothes in his arms.

"Get dressed. That kimono is no longer appropriate" and he pointed at the hut.

Kohana was appalled at what Sesshoumaru was saying but she did as she was told. When she was in the hut Jaken once again opened his big mouth.

"My Lord what do you have in mind for Kohana?"

"We are going to visit someone" Sesshoumaru answered.

"Who-who My Lord?"

"Someone who is dead yet undead, someone who can help us" Sesshoumaru answered.

"Sesshoumaru-sama, since when do we ever need help from anyone?" Jaken asked.

"Jaken"

"Y-yes me Lord?"

"Do you want to see a very bright light at the end of a tunnel?"

"Uh, no My Lord"

Back in the hut Kohana was in her new miko outfit and looked at her reflection at a small mirror she found in the hut. She looked at her old kimono and then at herself. [Why is he telling me that my kimono is no longer appropriate? Why do I have a bad feeling about this?]

Kohana took a deep breath and went outside to meet with Sesshoumaru and Jaken. When she got outside Sesshoumaru stared at her and started to walk away and Jaken and Kohana followed behind.

Sesshoumaru led them to a different village. The village was not abandoned but a very filled, happy little village. Sesshoumaru led them into the village and people were whispering to each other and pointing not at Sesshoumaru but at Kohana. Sesshoumaru went to the village elder and once he looked at Kohana he gasped.

"What brings you to our village youkai? And tell me why you have a miko with you?"

"I wish to see the miko of this village and this girl is my servant." Sesshoumaru said smoothly.

"Why you... don't you know the laws around these areas!" the elder shouted at him.

"Apparently I don't so now tell me mortal, where is the village miko?!" Sesshoumaru said in a deadly voice but this whole conversation was freaking Kohana out.

[Why... Why does Sesshoumaru-sama want to see the village miko? And what is this law? I wonder what Sesshoumaru-sama's plans are? But why are the villagers looking at me like I'm something worth dying for!]

"I'm loosing my patience old man. Take me to the village miko our I will create your death bed" Sesshoumaru said in a cold tone.

"I-I will not take a subduing youkai such as your self to the holy miko." the old man shouted.

"Then you leave me no choice" Sesshoumaru said and he grabbed the man by the throat. Everyone gasped and Kohana was in shock [Okay this was definitely not in job description] she thought.

"Sesshoumaru-sama, put him down!" Kohana demanded but Sesshoumaru ignored her.

"You still have time old man" Sesshoumaru mocked.

"She's"

"What?" Sesshoumaru said tightening his grip.

Out nowhere Kohana pulls his hand off the old man and holds them so the old man could get a few feet away from Sesshoumaru. Sesshoumaru threw Kohana to the ground and stared at her.

"KOHANA EXPLAIN YOURSELF!" Sesshoumaru yelled.

"Sesshoumaru-sama, let me handle this" Kohana said in a soft voice.

Kohana got to her feet and walked up to the elder and kneeled before him.

"I'm sorry for the trouble but we must see the village miko for we have a very important manner to speak of to her." Kohana pleaded.

The old man looked at her with sympathy in his eyes and Kohana and took a deep breath.

"I will but do you promise that your youkai won't kill anyone?" the elder ask.

"Arigato, I promise he won't harm anyone" Kohana said in a enthusiastic voice.

"CALL THE MIKO KIKYOU TO THE TOWN SQUARE!" the old man yelled.
