Chapter 4: The Stranger
The dark figure fell to the ground. Raven stared at the dark figure of a young man. The young man stirred, uttering, "Help," before he passed out. Raven heard the guards' shouts and hurried footsteps. She rested her head on the wall, looking up.
"Thank you," she said sighing.
The guards ran into the room. "What happened? Where's the Princess?" The Captain asked. Raven pointed over to the room next door.
"Here I am," said soft, smooth voice. The Princess emerged from the other room. The guards kneeled as they saw the Princess appear.
"Princess, I had thought the demon and the monk watched the monsters take you?"
The Princess walked over to Raven helping her up. "They did. Their small demon friend, Shippo is it?" she asked. Raven nodded. "Shippo is a fox- demon. He took my form, and those monster took him."
The Captain bowed his head. "I'm sorry, Princess, I did not know." The Princess nodded, and smiled. The guards took the man lying on the floor, and drag him away.
"Are you alright, Raven?" The Princess asked. "Yes, I'm fine. Just a little shaken." Raven smiled.
"That man. I wonder how he got in without the guards noticing?" The Princess asked herself before leaving the room.
'Geez, no good night?' Raven thought.
As the sun started to rise, Raven sat outside. She waited patiently for Inu-Yasha and the others to return. The baby birds started to chirp with hungrer. That reminded Raven, she was still thirsty. She noticed that there was a small stream nearby. When she walked over, she could see herself in it, and bent over to wash her face, and took a few hand fills of water. She thought that would be enough to make her stomach happy, but it didn't. She was still thirsty. She continued to drink the water, but it didn't help, it only made it worse. As the sun reached the top of the trees, she thought that was all the water her stomach could hold and decided to stop. Yet, she still couldn't stop being thirsty.
It was a short time later when Inu-Yasha and the others showed up. She was surprised when Miruko was with them. Kagome walked over to Raven. "Did you get any jewel shards?"
"Only one." Kagome replied, "How was your night?"
Raven laughed nervously, "Someone broke in, but my scream called the guards and the princess out of hiding."
Kagome stared at her, "Who was it?"
Raven shrugged. "I didn't get to see his face. He passed out uttering one word, help. Why is Miruko here?"
Kagome smiled, "He said he wouldn't mine being in the company of beautiful women."
Later that day, the group could be found in the next town. Raven was looking at the different things they were selling, and playing with the small children, while the others asked about anything strange going on. As Raven was teaching a young girl to use a rope as a jump rope a man came running into the town yelling for help. Raven looked up before the man ran into her. "Help me madam! Someone help me!" The man cried.
Inu-Yasha grabbed the man by the back of his shirt. "Calm down." Inu-Yasha said.
"Help me!" The man cried.
"With what?" Kagome asked.
The man pointed. "That demon is going to kill me! Please help me!" He started shouting again.
Inu-Yasha dropped the man on the ground, and he ran cover behind Raven. Inu- Yasha pulled out his Tetsusaiga, Kagome pulled out her bow and arrows, and Miruko got ready to uncover his hand. Then a strange thing happened, as the demon ran towards them, and as Inu-Yasha raised his sword to swing at it, the demon disappeared.
"What the hell!?" Inu-Yasha proclaimed. There was a few seconds of silence before the man yelled. Raven turned, the demon was behind her suffocating the man.
'No,' Raven thought, 'I can't watch anyone die!' Raven felt a new type of energy form through her veins. Before she knew it, she threw a punch, and was now holding the demon pinned on the ground.
"Inu-Yasha! Kill it!" Raven shouted.
"Then move!"
"Just swing!" Raven yelled. Inu-Yasha did as he was told and swung. Raven moved just in time, and the demon was destroyed.
"That was easy."
"Thank you, thank you!" The man said over and over to Raven and Inu-Yasha.
"It was nothing." Raven smiled.
"Oh I am forever in your debt! My name is Kaerichuu." Kaerichuu bowed his head a crawled close to Inu-Yasha.
"Hey! Get away from me!" Inu-Yasha stepped away from the man.
"You don't have to repay us." Kagome said.
As the day started to end, Raven couldn't stop thinking about what had happen. That demon was too easy to beat. Come to think of it, that demon didn't even feel real. What was it? And what's with that man? He promise us much, but then the next moment he was gone.
