(Sorry that the last chapter was so short, this one longer, but I'm not
sure if it's better.)
Luna gasped as she heard something flutter in the trees behind her; she shivered and pulled her kimono closer to her shivering body, "Momma!!! Daddy!!!! Miroku..? Sango..? Anyone!!!!" Luna leaned against a tree and slid down the trunk; she pulled her knees against her chest and cried. She realized she was lost; soon her teeth began to chatter. Luna rubbed her arms and lay down on her side. She curled into a small ball and tried to sleep, not knowing of the two who were watching her so closely.
"That's her Master Naraku." Xenobia said smiling cruelly, "Will you take her now? Or shall I continue to keep my watch?" Naraku thought for a moment then turned away.
"Watch her for awhile longer, I will be back to fetch her soon." He disappeared, Xenobia bowed still smiling.
"Whatever you say Master Naraku..." she jumped from her perch and removed her cloak, she draped it over Luna, Luna moved slightly but Xenobia brushed her fingers against Luna's cheek, "Shhhhh, soon kitsune...soon you will be freed from that dreadful prison...I promise." The wind blew and Xenobia was gone.
"Hey Koga! Look!" called Hiroseki (just a wolf that I made up, I can't remember Koga's wolf friends names, so if you know them could you please tell me, thanks.) Koga glanced over at him.
"What do you want Hiro?" he called impatiently.
"There's something you have got to see! Hurry up!" Hiro called again. Koga rolled his eyes and walked over to where Hiro was pointing out.
"Look, whatever it is I don't..." Koga stopped mid-sentence and stared at Luna's sleeping figure. "Care..." he finished. Koga kneeled down next to her and stared intently at her face.
"I think she dead." Hiro said from behind him, Koga pressed his fingers against Luna's throat and shook his head; he scooped her into his arms and wrapped the cloak around her.
"She's alive but she's got a terrible fever, I'm gonna take her back to the den." Koga took off before Hiro could protest, he looked down at Luna and snickered, "A quarter demon, how pathetic," he said to himself. 'Still, I couldn't leave such a beauty out there all by herself.'
Luna slowly opened her eyes, she blinked a few times to clear her vision, she sat up to discover herself in a cave all by herself. Luna rubbed her eyes and looked around, "Hello..?" she called, no answer. She tried to stand but every inch of her ached, her throat was terribly dry, Luna braced herself against the cave wall and stood shakily, she managed to make it to the opening in the cave using the wall for support. Luna was drenched in a cold sweat, she felt so hot, and she had to cool down. She released the wall and fell forward through the waterfall into the lake.
"Hey!!" someone yelled from a distance, Luna didn't care she had to cool down, she hit the ice cold water Luna didn't know how long she had been under, but her lungs ached for air, she tried to move but she was caught under the waterfall her back was being pressed into a jagged rock, she opened her mouth to scream but only succeeded in releasing the rest of her air, she was surrounded by black. Koga stripped off his armor and was about to dive in, Junnosuke (yet another one of my made up wolves) put his hand on Koga's shoulder.
"Just forget her, when she floats to surface we'll eat her." Juno said smiling, "I call the legs!" he declared.
"I get the arms!" another wolf called from within the crowd. All of the other wolfs barked and howled excitedly at the thought of their tender meal. Xenobia leered at them from her perch.
"I forgot how lowly and disgusting wolf demons are..." she pulled out a shard of the shikon jewel and flicked it into the water without anyone noticing. The shard hit Luna and embedded itself in her stomach; it slowly traveled to her uterus and attached itself to the treasure that lay deep inside of her. Xenobia snickered, "My work is done," She faded.
The wolves continued to argue while Koga tried to make a decision, finally he growled, "Will all of you shut the fuck up!!! I'm trying to think here!!" The wolves went silent, Koga made up his mind and dived into the churning water beneath the water fall, he swam to the very bottom and spotted Luna, her lips were blue, the water around her tinted red. Koga cursed inwardly and pulled her to him, he rested his feet on the bottom of the lake and pushed himself up with all of his strength, he emerged from the surface Luna's lifeless body in his arms. The other wolves surrounded him and Juno tried to take a bite, Koga kicked him away and glared at his pack, "If any of you tried to take a bite I'll kill you myself, got it?" he threatened. The wolves nodded and watched Koga carry Luna back into the den.
