Chapter Two – What Is Happening?
A few hours later my eyes fluttered open. I was surrounded my darkness, but I could barely see a slit over the horizon, the sun. It took me a moment to recollect my thoughts. Then I remembered the terrifying events that took place just a couple of hours ago. Owww! My head, I thought as I put my hand to my forehead. I looked around at my makeshift bed. It was made pretty much from grass but a blanket had been placed over me. I suddenly flashed back to my meeting with the dog-eared boy. Inuyasha, and the girl...what was her name again? Oh yeah, Kagome, I thought and as if on cue I saw them both strolling toward me. I started to panic. I still couldn't trust them yet, I didn't even know who this Naraku character was. Could these two be working for him? My thoughts pondered. "Well, hi there! Seems you had a bit of a nasty fall, but don't worry. You're going to be just fine." Kagome said sweetly. "Not like you deserved our help." Inuyasha muttered. I wanted to smack him, but I didn't have the strength. I sat up. "SHIT!!" I yelped as I tried to stand. Cuts and bruises covered my body. I was in pain. "Heh, serves you right wench!" Inuyasha laughed. "Inuyasha, Sit boy!" Kagome said in an unforgiving tone. As before, Inuyasha shot to the ground and moaned in pain. I fought back the laughter; after all they had been pretty friendly. "Now then, let me explain what happened last night," Kagome began. "Well, Naraku, that's the demon that attacked you and your family, has been after all of us for a long time. We have shards of the shikon jewel and these pieces, once whole, can give great power to anyone who posses it. I am a jewel detector, a reincarnation of a priestess, named Kikyo, who protected the jewel." "O.K. But what does that have to do with dog boy here?" I motioned toward Inuyasha. "Well, Inuyasha was in love with Kikyo, weren't ya boy?" Kagome sat down and fondled Inuyasha's ears. "Wench." Inuyasha whispered under his breath. I was surprised Kagome didn't "sit" him. Kagome continued, "But Naraku made Inuyasha and Kikyo believe they had betrayed each other. It's all pretty complicated, but to sum it up, Kikyo is now wanting to kill Inuyasha even though she knows that Naraku tricked them." I looked at Kagome. I decided I was safe as Naraku seemed to be an enemy to them. It was a whole lot to take in, but it still didn't explain one thing. "But why was Naraku after me? I mean sure I can levitate, but only a little, and I can draw power from my inner chi, but anyone can do it if they set their mind to it." I asked. Inuyasha, now dusting himself off, replied. "Naraku needs the soul of someone who has the ability to fly. You posses this quality, even if you don't know how to do it yet." "GAH! This is so stupid! He could bloody fly if he wanted too!" I almost lost my temper. "No, nobody can. It can only be done by someone pure of heart and mind. And for GODSSAKE! WOULD YA SHUT UP!" Inuyasha had pretty much lost his. I looked at Kagome. Her eyes plainly said, go for it. So I did. I slapped Inuyasha multiple times and gave him one final blow to the head. Ah, much better. I thought to myself. I turned to face Kagome. "There was one other thing I had a question about." "Yes and what was that?" Kagome asked. "Well, first who was that guy I knocked out earlier? And who was the fox demon and other girl?" I asked. "Oh, well, the perverse monk is Miroku. He wants to get rid of a curse placed upon his right hand by Naraku. His right hand is a black hole that will eventually swallow him if he doesn't get the curse removed. If this happens he needs a son to avenge his death, so don't be offended if he asks you to bear his child." "OOOOOOOOOK, moving on." I said, quite eager to change the subject of this Miroku guy or whatever. I continued, "Does that mean I can't go back home?"
"Only if you want to be in mortal danger!" A girls voice said coming from behind a tree. "Oh, that's Sango, I think she tried to stop you too." Kagome said answering my unspoken question. The mysterious girl came into view. She was very beautiful, wearing some sort of dress, a different outfit to what I had first seen her where. Although he mouth was smiling her eyes were filled with sadness. I had no idea why, but I pitied her. "How are you feeling?" She asked, now looking concerned. "As good as I could be after seeing my family murdered, being chased by an insane demon, and then being knocked out but a guy with EARS!!!" I clapped my had to my mouth. I hadn't meant to sound so mean. "I'm sorry," I muttered quietly, "It's just I've been through an awful lot for someone whose only 15." "That's OK, I understand, I was a little like that myself when my family was killed." I glanced up at Sango, tears threatening to fall down her checks. "Oh." Was all I managed to say. Just then I saw Sango's face go bright red. "Sango, are you alright?" I asked. I saw a look of fury on her face. I edged slowly towards and run Kagome. If she attacks I'll throw Kagome! I thought to myself. Oh shit! How will I run if I can't even walk? I sighed. I looked back up at Sango, still red. "HENTAI!!!!!" I heard her yell, actually almost went deaf by it. I saw her grab that enormous boomerang and hit something several times. I heard a male voice groan. Sango swifty stepped aside to reveal a badly bruised man. Kagome looked toward me and opened her mouth. "Miroku I presume?" I said before she uttered a peep. Kagome closed her mouth and nodded. Miroku recovered pretty quickly and was soon up and came waltzing over to me. "Ah, my fair lady, It seems you know my name but I do not know yours." He clasped my hand. I felt myself go hot, both with embarressment and anger. Firstly, no-one had ever called me "fair lady" before and secondly nobody, but NOBODY gets away with touching my hand AFTER my ass. "Yeah, what is your name?" Inuyasha chirped up. "Please enlighten us." Sango said. "My name is Siobhan, but everyone calls me Shevey. From the great United Kingdom, but currently residing in the U.S.A.!" I said. "Well, not anymore!" A child-like voice said. A small fox demon appeared. "Oh, that's Shippo. Isn't he cute?" Kagome looked lovingly toward him. "Got any chocolate!?!" Shippo said as he rummaged through my pockets. "Darling." I said sarcasticly. I gently pushed the little runt off me and tried to stand. "Ahhhh." I said softly, making sure that no-one could hear. "Eh, stop your complaining!!" Inuyasha said. I was surprised at first and then I remembered his ears. Super sensitive. I continued to stand and, although it pained me, I managed to walk. I hobbled over toward the nearest tree. My left ankle looked pretty swollen. "Kagome, do ya think you could put a splint on my left ankle, just till I can walk?" I looked over at Kagome. She nodded. I sat back down and Kagome shuffled toward me. She carefully began to wrap my leg and in a few moments she was done. "Wow, just like a professional!" I gave my thanks. I glanced toward Inuyasha and I caught him smiling at Kagome. Oh, so that's their little game! They like each other! I thought to myself. "Common Kagome, let's go! I'm getting hungry!" Shippo whinned. "We will go as soon as Shevey's ready." Kagome said sternly. "That's O.K. you don't have to take me with you." I said looking down. "I'll be fine on my own, I don't need you help." "What is it with you and the phrase?!" An annoyed Inuyasha said. "You're coming with us and that's that!" Kagome said firmly. "You won't survive an attack from Naraku in this condition!" "That's right, It's better you stay close to me...uh, I mean, us." Miroku said. I didn't like that pervous look he had in his eyes. I scooted closer to Kagome. "You touch me, you die." I said in a simple tone. I pretty much got confused looks from all the guys but the girls nodded in agreement. "Hey Kagome," Inuyasha worriedly said. "Yeah, Inuyasha?" "I smell trouble, the smelly kind!" Inuyasha feh'ed. "Oh no! Not him again!!" Kagome said frustrated. "Didn't we just get rid of him?" I heard Sango ask. "What is everyone talking about? I'm so confused!" I said. "Well," Kagome began, but before she could continue, she was interrupted by an angry voice. "INUYASHA!!!!!!"
