Episode 17: Trap

Sanosuke and Kaylee saw Aki in this state. Running over to her Sanosuke kneeled down by Aki's side as Kaylee kneeled down in front of Aki. Sango and Miroku running to catch up with them, worried sick. Before Sango and Miroku arrived Kaylee emitted a light blue light from her hands placing it inches away from Aki's wound. The light faded quickly before Sango and Miroku came up to them. Sanosuke speech less, Kaylee smiled toward Aki then looked to Sanosuke. "Don't tell..." Kaylee said nodding her head over to Sango and Miroku not wanting them to know about what she did. Aki heard and looked over to her healed wound. Kaylee looked to Aki. "Feel better?" Kaylee asked as Aki nodded. "Thanks!" Aki said with a smile yet still skittish about what had happened to her. Sango and Miroku looked to each other and smiled staying calm. Kaylee and Sanosuke stood to there feet as Sango and Miroku went over to Aki to calm her a little. Sanosuke spoke. "Were going to check for any demons around...okay?" Miroku nodded. "Just be careful." Miroku spoke out with caution. Sanosuke and Kaylee nodded, and then walked off searching around the area. Kaylee kept quiet as she searched. Sanosuke on the other hand have a couple curious questions. "Do you really work for Naraku?...Do you like killing those people?" Kaylee looked over to him remembering when Aki had asked that question. "No...just search for demons, okay." Kaylee looked to the left as Sanosuke looked to the right. Soon walking back to where Sango, Miroku and Aki were.

Weeks later Aki, Kaylee and Sanosuke ran around a field, Sanosuke with a bucket of water in his hands as Sango and Miroku were borrowing a hut for a couple days, discussing facts about this family. Aki ran to the left into the forest as Kaylee followed, looking back as Sanosuke ran closer. As Kaylee and Aki disappeared a cloud of mist appeared in the area. Sanosuke dropping the bucket and searching for Aki and Kaylee. Kaylee and Aki seemed to be out of the mist looking around like they were somewhere different. Entering at a castle Kaylee stopped, glaring to it. "Aki, stay behind me please...." Kaylee looked down to Aki as Aki nodded and did so, feeling helpless at the time she looked toward the castle. Buzzing was heard as Aki looked behind quickly. Kaylee turned her head and looked toward the bees. "He wants us to go in there...or else we're going through these things." Kaylee stated. Aki looked to Kaylee and then to the castle. "What should we do?" Aki questioned. Kaylee looked to Aki and then grabbed her Hiraikoustu. "Definitly not go into that castle..."

Sanosuke looked around running and then ran back to Sango and Miroku bursting through the doors. "They disappeared!! Somewhere! I don't know where they are!" "I searched everywhere!" Sanosuke exclaimed with fear in his eyes. Sango stood quickly, looking to him. As a fox youkai walked through the doors. "I know where they went..." He said calmy. Miroku looked to him suspiciously and then grabbed his staff. "Where." Miroku said with a harsh voice, not trusting this person. The fox youkai looked to him. "Just follow, i'll show." He turned and walked out, waiting for them to follow.

Aki and Kaylee turned quickly, the bees wouldn't stop coming. Aki looked cautiously around. Kaylee stepping back. " Aki looked up to Kaylee, not running, knowing she couldn't help but she could heal. That was good enough. Kaylee glared down at her which was a first. "Just run now!" Aki shook her head not moving. Naraku appeared walking out in his human form, Kaylee glared toward him and then stepped back keeping Aki behind her.

The fox youkai started running. Kilala in its demon form with Sango and Sanosuke on her back and Miroku running close to Kilala's side, along with the fox youkai. Sango looked to the fox youkai, trusting him somewhat, a feeling deep inside of her telling her too. "What is your name?" Sango asked. The fox youkai turned his head, still running straight foreward. "Names Shimora i'm just here to help, dont give any sympathy." Miroku's eyes had widened as well as Sango's.

Aki and Kaylee stepped back again, glaring toward him. Aki glowing she hadn't stuck her hand out yet. The two glared as Naraku smirked and let out an evil laughter.
