Fated Reunion
AN: Niroku and Katia are my own original characters so please don't use them without permission. I will also be adding more of these as any more of my characters appear. And for any that were wondering, this happens a little before the main part of the anime Inu-Yasha, in Feudal Japan.
Katia was taking a bath in the hot spring when she first sensed him. A half-demon. She quickly pulled her power to gather the steam around her body. She thanked the gods that this was a hot spring and thus steam wouldn't seem unnatural. She walked over to the ground where her clothes lay, beside her bow and arrows. She reached down, seemingly to pick up her clothes to get dress. But, quick as lightning, she picked up her bow and an arrow and shot. Five more shots followed, successfully pinning the half- demon to a tree in the clearing behind him.
*~*~*~*
Niroku had arrived at the hot spring to see the young girl looking to be about eighteen heading for her clothing. He silently thanked the gods that the steam from the hot spring was covering her body. As he watched her she reached down for her clothing when she picked up her bow and arrow instead. Before he could react she shot six arrows at him, pinning him to a tree in the clearing behind him.
"What the hell?!" He tried to reach the arrows but found he couldn't move cause the arrow were not only in very effective places but were also infused with magic. The arrows were pinning him by his baggy navy blue kimono, one on each side of his elbows and one the outside of each leg.
"Who are you and what do you wa." Katia stepped into the clearing and trailed off when she saw the half-demon she had pinned. She recognized him. She unconsciously did a mind scan to confirm that. "Niroku, is that you?"
"Yeah, can you please let me down." He said. He was looking at her thinking she looked beautiful in her short-skirted, forest-green dress and leather boots with her short brown hair still wet from her bath.
She walked over to him and pulled out each of the arrows, calling the power she had infused into each of them back into herself. "Let's go back to my camp and you can explain what the hell you're doing here."
*Back at the camp*
"Now I'll ask again, what are you doing here?" Katia and Niroku were sitting by the campfire she had lit when they had reached it. She was looking curiously at Niroku as he began to explain.
"Well, I'm here for two reasons. One, I had been looking for you over at your city but found that you weren't there any more. I learned that you had left four years ago. I'm also here because I had sensed your presence and went to investigate. Obviously I found you." He gazed at his childhood friend in wonder, looking at how she'd changed in the last nine years, since she was about eleven.
"Yeah, you found me. Or more like, we found each other cause while you sensed me I also sensed you. No wonder the aura I felt seemed so familiar. It's been a long time since I last saw you. Sorry I didn't come to see you sooner but my father wouldn't allow me travel any more after that." She looked at Niroku in wonder. She saw that he still had the dog- ears on top of his head and he still had dark hair, but now he was taller and his hair was longer. 'He's changed so much. But so have I.I was full human last time he saw me. Now I'm.' She trailed off as he began to talk again.
"Well, now that I've found you, I was wondering. Would you mind me traveling with you?" He looked nervously at the young woman in front of him.
"Sure, why not? It'll be like when we first met." After that she yawned. "Well, I guess we better get to sleep soon." Glancing up at the moon she said, "After all, it's about midnight." And with that she pulled out two cloth sheets out of her small pack and handed one to Niroku. "Here, it's probably gonna be pretty cold tonight." Niroku accepted the blanket and lay beside the dying campfire trying to get to sleep, but not before noticing that as she slept, Katia still seemed to be alert to her surroundings and any potential danger.
'She seems too different. It's odd, she's changed more than she should have. It seems like her blood has changed. Probably my imagination. I might ask her about it later.' And with that he fell asleep in the dark.
AN: And that's the first chapter of Niroku and Katia's wonderings. I hope you liked it. And by the way, I may insert stories later in place of other chapters when I come up with an idea and it has to belong in between to parts. What I mean by that is that let's say I wrote chapter 5 and I came up with a story that has to go before it, I'll post something on the first page to let you know.
