They stared at each other for a few minutes. Everything was silent, the birds were not chirping,
Last time
"hello Yasha" Said a soft voice
"he Niki" he replied.
the insects were not buzzzing. Shippo was not pouncing. Miroku was not drooling. kagome was not siething. Then, it was if the whole world exploded. They were doing everything. Asking questions, staring at Niki stomping on shippo.
"PLEASE!" Niki finally shouted "calm yourselves" they stood and looked at her. Niki appeared to be a 20 some year old woman with dark chestnut hair and penetrating green eyes. Instead of wearing a typical dress for the era, she wore pants made of a jean like material and a blue shirt with wide cuffs. A sword was strapped to her waist and chopsticks were placed in the bun at the back of her head. She was seat ed on one of the large stone posts that surronded the withered Forest. Her shoes resembled ball room slippers with the absence of the heels. When they had quieted, she jumped down from the post and went to them.
She motioned for them to follow her into the woods. They noddded and followed her into the dry forest bed.
"Inuyasha, were have you been?" she asked him as they walked down the dirt path.
"I've been stuck to a tree by a arrow for the past 50 years Nikita. I'm sorry."
"it is alright Yasha, you will be able to heal the forest when you transform the day after next." Kagome didn't hear this conversation, she was too busy looking at Nikita. How comfortable inuyasha seemed with her, even in the pressence of the group. It wasn't like him. Not Like him at all. They walked down the path a little further and Nikita stopped in a clearing with a spring. She took her hands and drank from the spring, as if it was the drink of gods.
"please, take a handful of water" she said to the others. Inuyasha smirked and stood, leaning against a huge tree trunk. Miroku stared hard at Nikita.
"How do we know this isn't a trick of some sort?"
"I have drank from the spring. Is that not proof enough that it is not tainted?"
"I think we should " Kagome said 'I mean, if Inuyasha seems to trust her, why shouldn't we?"
Miroku scowled but did take a small sip of the water. The four of them stood for a moment, waiting for a horrid death to come. But it did not. The only thing that came was a thirst for more water. Sango moved towards the spring, but Nikita blocked her path.
"Please move. I need more water" Sango said, her eyes gazing longingly at the water
"As do I!" Miroku said " I got less than anyone!"
"I need the most because I'm a growing fox!" Shippo complained. Only Kagome was not affected.
"It's nice water. Very refreshing' Kagome told them "but it's not THAT Good" Nikita stared at Kagome
"Amazing, you were the only one unaffected by the water. Even a monk could not withstand the magic within it" Nikita stepped closer to kagome and examined her face "Only one, besides my clan and Inuyasha could withstand that magic.... her name was Kikyo."
"Kagome is Kikyo's reincarnation Niki" inuyasha said from a tree
"no.." Nikita said with resilliance "no.. I think not. she is somthing more. Somthing greater" Nikita mumbled a few more words, then turned to the others.
"The magic will wear off once you drink some of the other springs water" she pointed to the spring on the opposite side "it is as refreshing as the other spring" the three of them crept over to the spring and drank a refreshing gulpful of water. They stood up and were about to pounce on Niki for playing such an aweful trick when Inuyasha stood up straight and stared into the sky
"Sango!" he bellowed "what's the date?"
"it's the new moon of the third cycle Inuyasha" Kagome stared at the sky. when the moon came out, Inuyasha would become human again.
Nikita looked at the sky as well "there is not time to go back to the village." She looked at the group. "You may rest here tonight, but you must obey me tommorow when I tell you to leave. Only two non-immortals can dwell here. It's a dangerous place without my protection."
They nodded and Nikita lead them to her small house, where she began to prepare dinner for the group. they all went off in the large clearing around Nikita's house to do various things. Sango sharpened her bommerang bone, Miroku went to pray at a statue of bhuda. Shippo went to bug Kagome, who was trying to do some of her math homework. Inuyasha just climbed one of the less dead trees and sat there. Staring at nothing..........
okay... yeah. Right. I'm an idiot
ONLY FOUR MORE DAYS UNTIL LORD OF THE RINGS COMES OUT!!!!!
