"....."Talking, '....' Thinking

~*~Cursed To Be Alone~*~

Chapter One

~*~Making A Friend~*~

"I just finished talking to her myself. She is really pretty, and smart; but I heard that she knows little, close to nothing about her past." A village man spoke to a village woman as they passed through the village. The man had gone up to the high waterfall which lay nearest the village to speak to the water godess. He could not believe that she had been so full of wisdom for her age.

The small village lay near a great waterfall, and the villagers spoke of a young water godess. They said that you could be able to speak with her no matter what your problem would be. Also, it was heard of that the young woman would always be knowing of exactly what to say to help you out. The rumors of her mother, the one who found her, were also spread around the village. Many men loved the water godess and wished to marry her, but all they ever recived for an answer was no. The men were always dissapointed, but the woman never gave a reason as to why she had turned them down.

A silhouette of a woman was shaded into the ground. A young woman, around the mature age of sixteen, stood upon a small rock. Long dusty brown hair with few blond highlights blew in the wind. Ice blue eyes grazed upon the small village beneath the huge waterfall. A small scar, the size of a star pierced on her upper arm. Where the demon had used witch craft on her oh so many years ago. The white blouse which looked like that of a mikos, lay around her upper body. Navy blue boots went up to her calf as the little heels stuck to the ground, where the newly fresh mud lay. Her light blue haori pants that went to her ankels swayed in the small gust of wind. A small hand lay delaciltly on her right chest, the hand was curled up into a gentle ball. Then, with a turn of the right heel, she was soon walking off, deep into the forest.

The forest held many different animals, with large trees that could almost touch the sky. But; within the middle of the forest lay a small pond and near that small pond, sat a house. A older woman, around the ago of early fortys or late thirtys came out of the house. Black hair casscaded around her shoulders. Ivy eyes glanced back, as the older womans sharp ears heard foot steps approaching the hut. She soon after, stood up and turned around to look at the young woman she had found. "Sayuri." She said smiling, she then walked over to the girl. Her arms embraced the young girl, also known as Sayuri.

Sayuri, as she was now called wrapped her arms back around her 'mother'. She had been told by villagers that her mother found her near small lillys by that pond, so thats was why her name was Sayuri. Ice eyes looked down to the elder woman. "Mother, I was hoping to speak about where you found me." She said, her voice gentle for she did not know if the older woman would want to speak about this or not. Her mother never really liked to talk about the subject, and Sayuri knew that...but..sayuri wanted to find out why she did not want to speak about it.

Her mother, Shiva, looked upon Sayuri's face and nodded slightly. "It is time that you knew about where I found you and what also came with you." She said, then let her daughter go from her embrace and turned on her heel. She walked into the hut and then stayed in there for a while, before coming out with three items. She sat down and placed the items infront of herself, and infront of Sayuri.

Sayuri looked at the items that her mother had broughten out of the hut. 'I've never seen those items before when I used to play around the hut.' She thought to herself. Infront of her lay, a wrinkled piece of paper, a small locket that was shaped like a heart, and a straight piece of paper which held messy hand writing on it. "Mother, what are these?" Sayuri asked, kneeling down as she looked upon the three items which her mother had hidden from her. Her ice blue eyes scanned over them, then flashed with instrest. A small wind picked up, playing with her brown and blonde hair. As well as her mothers long black hair.

Shiva looked up at her daugter and a small sigh escaped her slightly parted lips. "Well, Sayuri when I found you, you were a baby and then I also found these in your basket. Your basket is still in my room, but this might reveal a bit of the past you had, before you got here." Shiva said then went over to the wrinkly piece of paper. She held it up to her daughter and nodded. "Its ok, just go ahead and read it Sayuri." She said.

Sayuri nodded, her hand the clutched the piece of paper and her eyes scanned over it as she read it. The wrinkled piece of paper read: 'Miko, You are probably older now sience you can read this, but I just wanted to remind you of one little thing. Every one is out to get you, expect those who are close to you. You must stay on you toes when near the mikos. They are the ones who are out to get you the most.' Sayuri's eyes flashed slightly with a lace of remeberence. "This...this saying sounds so familiar mother." Sayuri said softly, her eyes then scanned over the locket.

Shiva looked up at her daughter and nodded. "I knew it might sound familiar to you Sayuri. Now the locket is the next item to catch your intrest? Well, here you go." She said, picking up the small locket then handing it over to her daughter. Her ivy eyes glancing up to see her daughters face. "Try to open it. When you were young I tried to, but it would not open for me...maybe..it will open for you." Shiva said, her voice full with seriousness.

Sayuri nodded gently, her hand then picked up the small locket from her mothers hand. She looked at it, then brought her other hand to it. She squeezed the small locket, trying to get it open..but..to her dismise it would not open. She growled softly at it, then looked up to her mother. "Mother, may I wear it? It may open later on." Sayuri asked, looking at Shiva with hopefull eyes.

Shiva smiled and nodded. "Of course." She then got the small locket out of Sayuris hands and into her own hands. She then put her hands behind her daughters neck, the necklace around Sayuris neck. She clipped the ends together and smiled. "There you go Sayuri." Shiva said smiling at the girl. She then turned around, and picked up the last item. The straight piece of paper. "This is the last one Sayuri. Here..." She said, then handed Sayuri the paper.

Sayuri smiled at the newly found necklace around her neck. She then looked over to her mother and nodded. Her right hand reached out and grabbed the piece of paper from her mothers hand. Her eyes read the paper, her mouth; mouthing the words as she read the following. 'It is time, you are sixteen and need to start your search for the right one. The right guy. You need to make friends and stop staying in one place unless you are needed to. Take a sword, which lays near the village as your weapon. Good Luck.' Sayuri blinked, this WAS messy hand writing. She then handed the paper to her mother. "Mom, I am going to go on a journey. I know where a weapon is, tell the village people not to worry." She stood up, gave her mother a hug and started off.

Shiva shook her head slightly, she took the paper and gave her daughter a hug back. "I knew that this day would come Sayuri." She said, then turned on a heel and walked back into the hut, taking the other two items which she had claimed when she had gotten Sayuri as a baby.

Outside of the small village, the village people hustled around to make sure that the fields were fine. Sayuri walked past them, and then she saw a light shimmer of silver on the ground. She stopped and looked at the glint of silver burried in the ground. She walked over to it and knelt down, using her hands to move some of the dirt away there it lay. The Sword. Just as the note had said. Sayuri's right hand clutched around the hilt of the sword, she stood up and saw a seath with it. She picked that up and placed it on her waist, she seathed the sword and blinked. 'I wonder, could that note have known the whole time that it was there?' She thought, asking herself. She walked to the next village over, Kaede's village. She then walked to kaede's hut, avoiding all the towns people. She then saw two males, and a young female and Kaede with a young child around Kaede's hut.

Ivy green eyes looked up at the elder woman, red firey hair in its little ponytail moved slightly as the owner moved. "Kaede! Inuyasha hit me agian!" Whined a small kitsune boy. His little haori outfit green and brown, swaying in the wind. Shippou, as the boy was known as looked up at the elder woman.

Chocolate eyes glanced down at the kitsune. "Shippou." A womans voice came, her hazel hair in her high ponytail. "Inuyasha always hits you." She said, shifting the weight of the big boomerang on her back. Sango, wore her demon exterminator outfit. She knew inuyasha would always do this, then a hand placed itself where its not suppose to be. Her eye brow twitched slightly. "HENTAI!!" She screeched, slapping the boy beside her with her hand.

Violet eyes shut as the slap had hit him pretty hard on the face. His black hair which was pulled into a high ponytail fell behind his head as his body 'kissed' the ground. His staff landing beside him, the monk. Miroku. His hand with the prayer beads around it lay beside him, a rosy red hand print planted on his right cheek. His hand had went where it hadnt suppose to have gone. "It was worth the pain.." He muttered, then made him be knocked out.

Golden orbs rolled themselfs as he looked at the small kitsune. His silver hair blew in the wind as his clawed hands stuffed into each others sleeves. A snort heard from his body. "Shippou quit complaining to Kaede! She cant make me stop it even if she wanted to!" He said, then fingered the rosary around his neck, he remebered something. His mother gave it to him, saying that the right one would be able to control him with a single word if they wanted to.

The elder miko shook her head slightly. Her white and gray hair moving as her head shook slightly. Her eyes opened and a dull brown appeared. "I am sorry shippou, but inuyasha is right. I cant do anything about it." She said. Then looked toward the presence she felt. "Ah Sayuri, what is it child?"

Sayuri then blinked, noticing that she was now being talked to. Her ice eyes looked up to Kaede. "Yes Kaede, I need some supplies. I have to start a journey on my own." She said, then walked beside the old Miko.

Kaede nodded. She then looked toward the group of four. "Why not journey with them Sayuri? This is inuyasha." She said pointing to the silver haired hanyou, whom only snorted and turned his head. "sango." She said pointing to the demon exterminator, who replied with a smile and bow. "The perverted Miroku." She said, her eyes down on the man that lay on the ground. "And Shippou." She said, looking at the small kitsune that was rubbing his head from where inuyasha had perviously hitten him. "This Is Sayuri." Kaede said pointing to Sayuri, who bowed to all of them.

Sayuri smiled lightly. "It is a pleasure to meet you all." She said, then stood back up, she saw violet eyes looking at her body. She blinked, then saw a boomerang fall on the perverts head. She smiled and walked over to sango. "Thank you Sango. He is scaring me."

Sango smiled and nodded. "Your welcome Sayuri, anytime." She smiled, then used her right wrist and flicked the large object back over her back and where it normally lay.

Inuyasha snorted slightly. "I dont want another wench with us." He said, glaring at Sayuri.

Sayuri looked at Inuyasha. "Well then I guess I'll be acceptable for im not a wench." Smirks, then she walked over to Kaede.

Their journey would now start. But what lay for the group of five? A miko, an extermanator, an kitsune, a hanyou, a monk what shall happen? ~*~End Chapter One~*~
