Chapter 3 Welcome to the Village

"Who are you?" Asked one of the many villagers.

"What are you doing here?" Asked another.

"You're coming with us!" Informed another.

"Why should we," demanded Yasuo. All the villagers then pulled out their spears. "Fine, but I want to talk to your boss."

"Our what? You will speak to our leader and no one else." Said the soldier in front.

"Boss, Leader, Whatever. Who ever is in charge will suffice." Natsumi piped up. So they continued to the village arms tied (except Kane who is still out cold) and finally arrived.

"Make way for hostages!" The soldiers yelled. "Sit down," the head soldier ordered indicating to the mats on the floor. They sat and were annoyed as their feet were tied as well.

"Nice Hospitality." Natsumi said with obvious sarcasm.

"Be quite child," came a tired voice from behind a group of villagers. The villagers parted and an old woman came forth. A middle aged monk followed. "The dish please." The monk handed her a round wooden dish filled with some kind of sand. She tossed the sand at them and chanted, "Evil Be Gone."

"Huh, What's going on? Yasuo." Kane said with a great yawn and then realized she couldn't move. "Some one mind telling me what's fucking going on. For instance, why am I tied hand and foot?"

"You are trespassing and now we can't let you go."

"Why the hell not? What did we do to you?" Kane demanded an answer.

"We now know you are demons and you will bring harm to us if you are here." Kaeda said.

"Then untie us and we'll leave. Ever thought of that. Trust me, it brings me no pleasure to be in your company, you old hag," Kane yelled.

"Yah tell-her Kane," Natsumi cheered.

"Nay child for if we let you go you will terrorize the surrounding villages. You 2 will be executed at dawn. The young child will be taken care of until her village is located." Kaida said.

"Say what?" Natsumi said now confused. My Village? At this several villagers grabbed Kane and Yasuo by the arm much to their dismay. They were dragged off and Kaida turned to Natsumi. "Your nuts you old hag."

"You should respect your elders young one. You are now safe." Kaida said with a smile.

"Sorry my big sister told me it isn't right to interact with the crazy. It'll ruin my rep," Natsumi said bluntly.

"Pardon," Kaida questioned.

"My rep. You know my reputation. My identity. And I'm sorry but it doesn't get any more crazy than killing my babysitter. She's the only one I like." Natsumi said.

"You will be staying with Sango in the mean-time. I hope you enjoy our village. Now I must depart." Kaida said. With that she left and a young woman stepped forth. She was dressed for battle and by her side was a feline looking creature with two tails.

"Fallow me," the girl said and turned and walked away. The young monk gave a smile and nodded as Natsumi started after the woman. He shortly followed. They walked to the out skirts of town to a small cabin, which they entered. "You'll sleep over there and please don't make a mess."

"Sure thing." Natsumi said with an innocent look. She doesn't know me very well does she? She doesn't know what she is getting herself into.

[That night.]

"You Yasuo. You awake still?" Kane asked. God these ropes are killing me. She thought turning straining to see her hands which sere tied around a pole and her back facing that of Yasuo's. "Hey are you listening?"

"Oh Shut up." Yasuo said.

"Oh so you aren't asleep?"

"Not any more than when you asked me five minutes ago." Yasuo smirked. "Just go to sleep. We'll get out of here in the morning and find a way to get home." Not that we know how we got here to begin with. "Hey Kane. You think Natsumi is ok? Huh?" He behind him. Finally asleep. About time. Then after a few hours he managed to fall asleep himself.

Pummel! Whack! Bash! Crack!

"What was that?" Kane asked Yasuo now fully awake.

"Don't know. You don't suppose that centipede followed us do you?" Yasuo questioned.

"Wouldn't doubt it." Kane answered.

"We should help the village out. After all they might accept us if we help. We need to show them that just because we are different doesn't mean we're going to slaughter everyone in sight." Yasuo reasoned.

"Fine but I'm not doing this for that stupid old hag." Kane said as she slit the ropes with her sharp claws. "Ready?"

"Ready." And with that they were out of the prison and on to the battlefield.

"Nothings working," cried one of the villagers.

"Call Inuyasha." Kaida said from on a horse.

"What now hag?" Came a voice from behind her.

"Oh Inuyasha. You're here." Kaida said surprised.

"Who could sleep through that? Out of my way. Hey ugly. Yah you with the hundred legs." Inuyasha said sarcastically. "Prepare to fucking die."

In the distance.

"Hey you know who he is?" Kane asked admiring.

"Nope. But he is strong." Yasuo answered.

"How can you tell?"

"Don't know. Just a feeling is all," Yasuo said. "We should still go and help sense it followed us." They ran over to the beast and reached his side.

"Who the hell are you?" Inuyasha asked sharply.

"Alias." Was their simple answer.

"The sacred jewel. Give it to me." The monster demanded.

"I ask you again. Why the hell should we? Get your own. Crawl back to the hole you came from." Kane yelled.

"You have part of the sacred jewel?" Inuyasha asked very much surprised.

"Yah why?" Kane asked amazed at how many people knew of her mother's necklace. "Yo Yasuo lets finish this up quick. Alright?"

"Yah but how do you suggest we do that?" Yasuo asked amazed that his sister for once had a plan of her own.

"Slaughter him. What else? Do you remember the words I said before finishing of that punk in the ally?" Kane questioned.

Flashback

"OH SHUT UP. I DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS. GET DOWN AND STAY DOWN YOU WORTHLES PIECE OF TRASH!" Kane yelled now enraged. "IRON REAPER SOUL STEALER!!!!"

End Flashback

"Yah I remember. Why?" Yasuo said interested.

"Raise your arm and bring it down while saying it. Ok on three. One Two T..." Kane counted.

"What the hell are two talking about?" Inuyasha asked.

"Just stand aside. It followed us so it's our duty to destroy it. Please have your fighters stand down. I don't want to hurt anyone we don't have to." Kane instructed.

"Alright. Sango, Miroku, and everyone else stand down." Inuyasha yelled and everyone instantly obeyed. [I made Inuyasha in control of the battling but don't worry if push comes to shove Sango steps in and takes control. Miroku is in charge of battle strategies.] "Go ahead. Amuse me."

"Ready?" With a nod from Yasuo she started counting. "One, Two." They both raised their arms ready to strike. "THREE!" Together they cried, "IRON REAPER SOUL STEALER!!!!" In an instant the beast was ripped to shreds and laid dead never to move again.

Inuyasha stared at them unbelievably. W-what just happened? That's impossible.

"Hey Inuyasha isn't that the move you use?" Sango asked noticing the look on his face.

"Y-Yes. It is. But I was told that only those of my blood are able to use that technique." Inuyasha explained. "I guess they were wrong."

"Wow! Did I do that?" Yasuo said as he stared at the remains of the beast in front of them.

"Yah you did. Don't worry you'll get used to it." Kane said. "Now all we have to do is find Nat..." Before she could finish she was lying on the ground with a child around her waist.

"YOU DID IT! THAT WAS SOOOO COOOOOOOOOOOL! CAN YOU TEACH ME? I KNOW A BIG SISTER THAT I WOULD LOVE TO TRY IT ON." Natsumi yelled excitedly.

"Hey! Don't you even joke about ever hurting Kiyoshiko. EVER!! What did she ever do to you?" Yasuo said.

"She was born. She breathes the same air and walks the same planet. Do I need to go on." Natsumi said with a smirk counting of the many things on her fingers.

"Don't ever kid about that. She is your elder sister and I love..." Suddenly Yasuo's face went red and he turned his back.

"What was that I didn't catch it. Did you say I love her?" Natsumi said with a broad smile that said Busted.

"No I didn't. You're hearing things." He answered bluntly.

"Hehe," she giggled. "Yasuo and Kiyoshiko sitting in a tree..."

"Shut Up." Demanded Yasuo and Kane giggled behind his back. "Don't you start too."

"K-I-S-S-I-N-G..." both Kane and Natsumi chanted in unison.

"SHUT UP. NOW!" He again demanded as he turned back around and moved towards them. They turned around and started running with him close behind.

"First comes love."

"NOCK IT OUT!"

"Then comes Marriage...."

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU TWO. JUST WAIT..."

"Then comes Yasuo with the baby carriage..."

"I'LL NOT ONLY BE RID OF ONE PEST, BUT AN ONLY CHILD ASWELL, AFTER I GET A HOLD OF YOU." Yasuo screamed.

"What children." Came a small voice.

"Hey Shippo. Tell me how did you manage to sleep through the hole thing." Inuyasha said with a lame expression.

"What thing?" Shippo asked his face blank. "What did I miss."

"Not much. Just a 60 foot centipede." Sango said with a laugh.

"Oh" Shippo said. "SAY WHAT?!"

"Hey would someone mind telling me why every one is so damn persistent of getting this?" Yasuo said as he held up his mother's necklace. [View of Kane and Natsumi lying on the ground in the distance with numerous lumps covering their heads.] "Like what does it do. I mean if they're willing to kill so many people to get it than it must be important."

"You mean you don't know what that is." Sango asked surprised.

"If I did would I be asking?" Yasuo snapped back.

"Hey take it easy." Miroku said. "There is no reason to raise your voice."

Before Yasuo knew it he found himself siting around a fire in what appeared to be Sango's hut. To his right sat Kane and next to her sat Miroku. To his left sat Natsumi who was playing with the ears of the much-annoyed Inuyasha. Then Yasuo looked ahead and saw Sango talking to Kaeda. Shippo and Kirara were playing in the back. Then Kaeda turned to Yasuo and Kane and began to tell the legend of the Shikon No Tama.

"Hey that's the name of our school. Imagine that." Natsumi said.

"Well the legend goes that a......" Kaeda told. And after a short while finished the tale.

"Wow, I had no idea. So this can transform someone like me into a full demon. That's pretty cool." Said Kane. Huh? She thought to herself as she felt a hand on her bottom.

"Oh Yaah." Was the only noise she heard and realized it had come from the monk next-door.

"You want to lose your hand perverted monk? If not I highly suggest you relocate your hand." In no time at all the hand was out of sight and Miroku blushed deeply.

"I've been meaning to ask you something." Miroku said.

"What?" Kane said annoyed.

"Will you do the honor bearing me my child?" Miroku asked as he grabbed Kane's hands in his own.

"Miroku..." she began sweetly. "HOW DARE YOU; I'M ONLY 14 YOU PERVERT. HOW COULD EVEN ASK ME THAT, JERK?" She screamed with the evilest glare that could frighten the most powerful demon on the planet. Everyone looked at Miroku, who was cringing in the corner, with stares that suggested Stupid, You got what was coming to you, Idiot, Perverted monk, and Should have known better.

Soon night fell and everyone was in his or her nice warm beds. But for some reason Yasuo couldn't sleep. He looked to his side to find Kane getting up. "Hey Kane what are you doing?"

"Natsumi is missing. I'm going to look for her." Kane informed Yasuo.

"Oh," Yasuo said and looked away, "She's WHAT?!" That little... How dare she disobey me. I thought I told her to fucking stay put. Why Me. I turn my back for one second and now I have to go look for her. What a waste of time. Who cares if she is gone? Wait a minute {Natsumi Rescue = Kiyoshiko = possible kiss = going steady = marriage =....} Suddenly Yasuo looked like he was under a trance. His eyes were wide and sparkled like the stars.

"Um Yasuo. You coming or..." But before she could finish a gust of wind cut her of. She looked to find what happened and saw Yasuo at the door jogging in place.

"Come on. Come on. Come on. We need to find poor Natsumi before she starves. The poor thing must be so scared." Yasuo said pointing out side.

Oh please how pathetic. You must seriously love Kiyoshiko. You would have too, to sink that low. "Alright. Lets go." She said.

"Humh." Came from the corner where Inuyasha slept.

"NATSUMI! NATSUMI! NATSUMI!" Both Kane and Yasuo yelled. "Brat." Yasuo added.

"Where could she be?" Kane said.

"Don't know but when I get my paws on her."

[View of Natsumi walking along a cliff watching the ocean.]
