Finding My Father

Chapter Two: A Quest Unfit for a Child

"Are you sure you don't want to wait a few years, Miroku?" Kagome looked pleadingly at me.

"Don't worry, honey. Miroku won't leave us." Said Sango, trying to hide the uneasiness in her voice in order to console Kagome.

My mommy with the boomerang was packing extra clothes and food and things for us. She said that it would be a long journey.

We set ou in the morning. The country side was so beautiful. The trees were green and the sky was grey. Just the way I like it; not too bright.

I felt a raindrop touch my cold nose. I looked up. Was it starting to rain?

Soon rain was pouring down so hard that I could barely see where we were going. Mud squished in between my toes, my feet were cold, I was cold. I shouldn't have asked about my father. Why couldn't my parents just tell me about him?

We pressed on through the cold, windy rain until my mom stopped. She drew an arrow out from its quiver and put it in her bow.

She shot.

Something shrieked.

It was some kind of beast, it towered above mom. It snarled and swiped at my mommy with its claws.

My other moomy shouted and threw her boomerang at the monster.

The beast shrieked yet again in pain.

It flailed around and then it bit my mommy.

My other mommy was infuriated and threw her boomerang again; chopping the beast's head clean off.

It landed on my mommy. She grunted with new pain. Blood seeped from her heavily as she dropped to the ground.

"Kagome!" one of my mom's cried. She took her hand and squeezed it. "Don't die, Kagome! I love you!" She was weeping now.

My mom was wet, and her clothes wer turning dark.

I touched her. My fingers became wet, warm, and sticky. "Mommy, Don't die."
