Episode 3 : Discovery Aki hid behind a bush, watching what was happening between Kaylee and her master. Her eyes widened when she heard the orders, especially at the name "Miroku." When Kaylee left the castle, Aki decided to follow her. She wanted to at least see who this Miroku guy was. Kaylee kept walking, knowing the whole time that Aki was behind her. She seemed to worry a lot about Aki, even though she had just met her. Somthing was still bugging her about Aki. She seemed very familliar, yet she didn't know in what way. Needless to say, she didn't know why she was worried, and she was trying to find that out. Kaylee then decided to let Aki know that she knew she was there. Kaylee stopped, pretending to look around. Aki didn't realize that Kaylee had stopped, for she was busy looking around at her surroundings. She eventually walked too far, thus bumping into Kaylee. Kaylee turned around when she felt Aki bump into her. Aki looked up at Kaylee. "Crap ... " Aki said under her breath. "Why are you following me, Aki?" Kaylee asked. "The guy your master said to kill ---" "You heard that?" Kaylee interrupted. "Yeah, now will you let me say what I wanna say?" Aki said. "Go on." Kaylee replied. "The guy your master said to kill ... his name is familliar." "Geez, Aki! how many names sound familliar to you?" Kaylee said. "Five. and I believe I have already found one." Aki smiled. Kaylee remembered back to where she and Aki had first met. She recalled Aki saying that her name sounded familliar to her. 'am I the one she's talking about?' Kaylee thought to herself. She looked at Aki, who was watching a snail crawl on the ground. Kaylee then smiled. 'She's easily amused. it's almost funny.' She then remembered her master's orders. "Aki, I have to go do what my master ordered me to do." Kaylee said. Aki looked up at Kaylee. " ... do you like killing people?" She asked. "No, but my master orders me to. Though this is the first time he's ever ordered me to kill a human being, I must carry out my master's plans." Kaylee replied. "If your master told you to jump off a cliff, would you do it?" Aki asked. Kaylee didn't answer. She then turned away and started walking. "Hey! where are you going?" Aki called after Kaylee, then ran after her. "I must carry out my master's plans. If you want to follow me, do so, but don't blame me if you get hurt." Aki smiled. "Okay." Suddenly, the two girls heard footsteps, and they turned to see a man, clad in monk robes, and carrying a a staff. It was obvious that he was of a buddhist religion, and he was quite attractive, with jet black hair tied in the back in a ponytail. His face had a soft expression on it. Kaylee looked down at Aki, who was staring at the monk with an unreadable expression on her face. Kaylee looked back at the monk. "Would you happen to be Miroku by any chance?" Kaylee asked the monk. "Yes. and you must be Kaylee. Have you come to kill me?" Miroku replied. "Yes." Kaylee replied, and tried to take a step forward. She couldn't, though, because Aki was holding onto her leg. "Aki! let go!!" Kaylee said. "No! I can't let you kill him, he's my daddy!" Aki yelled. Kaylee stopped, shocked. She looked to Miroku, who also looked shocked. "ehh ... listen, you're name is Aki, isn't it?" Miroku asked. "Yes. My real name is Akiana, but everyone calls me Aki." Aki replied. "I didn't think I had any children, but if you think i'm your father, i'll take your word for it." Miroku said, then smiled. Kaylee smiled also, but then heard her master's voice in her head. "Kaylee, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!? Get back here right away!" Kaylee snapped out of the trancelike state she was in, and gently removed Aki's arms from her leg. "I've gotta go now, my master's calling ... " She said, then started running torwards the castle. Aki blinked, then ran to hug her father. Meanwhile, back at the castle, Kaylee had just arrived when she felt a burst of energy, and flew back, hitting a tree. Naraku came out of the castle and confronted Kaylee. "You are an idiot, girl. Your human emotions got in the way of your mission. And it's all because of that girl, Aki. Now I have a new order for you. I want you to go kill Aki. Go right now!!"
