*~*~*~*Chapter 3: The Mysterious Figure's Identity*~*~*~*
Inuyasha and Kagome could hardly see her. She was shrouded in shadows. Her purple eyes were staring at them. There was a grin on her face. They couldn't make out what she was wearing.
"Inuyasha," Kagome whispered in fright. "Inuyasha, she has like one fourth of the jewel, but she's not using them."
"WHAT?!" shouted Inuyasha.
Inuyasha got into his ready stance. He was getting ready to fight. The girl didn't move at all. She just stood there, smiling. She wasn't in any kind of stance or anything.
"I don't want to fight, Inuyasha," the girl said, stepping out of the shadows.
The girl had long, flowing, silver hair, and purple eyes. She had Timber Wolf ears and tail. Her nails looked sharp. The necklace she wore had a strange symbol on it. Her T-shirt and shorts were black. The shirt had black fringes at the end of the sleeves and at the bottom of it. Her shorts had black fringe at the bottom of the leg holes. She wore no shoes at all.
"How do you know my name?" asked Inuyasha fiercely.
"I have my ways," said the girl as she took one step towards Inuyasha.
Inuyasha took out his sword, the Tetsuseiga. He was still ready to fight. The girl did not take out a weapon. She just stopped and looked at the sword. She sat down.
"What are you doing?" asked Inuyasha, who seemed thoroughly pissed off. "Get up and fight you stupid girl!"
"I wish not to fight," said the girl. "I don't want to have to hurt you."
"You, hurt me? That's just funny," said Inuyasha, laughing heartily.
"Inuyasha, I wouldn't joke about this, she does have one fourth of the jewel, remember?" said Kagome.
"So, you said she wasn't using them," said Inuyasha, very annoyed.
"Yes, you are right, I'm not using the shards, but, I'm still very strong," said the girl as she stood up.
Inuyasha put away the Tetsuseiga, but continued to eye the girl warily. He still didn't trust her much. He started to walk back to camp. He motioned for Kagome and the girl to follow him. Both girls did, although Kagome hesitated.
In a matter of minutes they were at the camp. It was still early in the day, but Inuyasha and Kagome went to get the others. They left the new girl there. In about five minutes, Kagome returned with Sango, and Inuyasha returned with Miroku. The girl was still where they left her. They sat down with her.
"Who are you?" asked Inuyasha, quite rudely.
"Is that anyway to talk to a lady?" snapped Miroku. Inuyasha glared at him.
"Well, let's see," said the girl. "My name is Siyango, and I'm a wolf demon."
"A what?!" shouted Inuyasha. "No wonder you are here, you've been sent by Koga to destroy us. I knew I shouldn't have trusted you." Inuyasha took out Tetsuseiga, and everyone else stood up.
"I was not sent by Koga, but I do know him." said Siyango. "I wish not to destroy you, but to become a friend. I could be of great help." Inuyasha snorted when she said this.
"I already know all your names, you're Miroku, the monk. You're Sango, the demon exterminator. You're Kagome, the reincarnation of the priestess, Kikyo. You're Inuyasha, the half dog demon, half human." said Siyango. All of them were very surprised she knew who they were. "Oh yeah, I know where Shippo is, I was taking care of him, he's in my cave, not far from here. Come on, let's go get him."
Siyango stood up and started walking away. The others stood up and followed her. They wondered what had happened to Shippo, and if he was OK. After about ten minutes of walking, they reached a dark cave. Siyango walked right in, but the others hesitated.
"SIYANGO!" exclaimed Shippo as Siyango walked in
The others walked in and saw this. Siyango was hugging Shippo tightly. Shippo was doing the same to Siyango. All of them were relieved to see Shippo was OK. They started to look around the cave.
The cave wasn't very well lit. A dim fire burnt in the middle of the cave. There were weird markings all over the wall. There was a pile of animal skins in the back of the cave. The pile was nice and fluffy. They figured Shippo must have slept there while here.
"What happened to him?" asked Kagome.
"He was bitten, by some kind of demon," replied Siyango. "With my knowledge of herbs and medicines, I was able to heal him. Please, have a seat."
That must have been good enough for the others. They sat down. Siyango brought out wooden bowls for them. Then she brought out a cauldron of soup, and ladled soup into the bowls. They all ate and said nothing.
