Chapter Two
"Eh hem?" Sango cleared her throat. "And who are you?"
Souta turned around to face Sango. "Oh! My name is Souta. I'm Kagome's younger brother," he explained.
"He's my uncle!" Kira exclaimed, clinging to Souta's arm.
Sango giggled at the girl's excitement. "I see. Well, why don't you all come inside and I'll make something to eat?"
"Yeah!" Kira and Koto grinned, then hurried inside the hut with Sango and Souta following.
While Sango prepared a soup of some sort, Koto and Kira was describing how their parents' last battle had gone.
"First my dad used a sutra to slow the demon down," Koto started.
"Then mama and Sango attacked!" Kira smiled and imitated Kagome with her bow and arrow.
"And that's when Inuyasha used his wind scar attack to finish him off!" Both children grinned from ear to ear, so proud of their parents.
"But what about those two boys? Um, Shippo and Kohaku, I believe," Souta wondered.
"Ah, those two were risking a visit with their friend, Rin, at the time," Sango explained and brought the soup over.
"Ah," Souta nodded nervously. 'Risking?' He thought as he started in on the soup.
The meal passed by with awkward silence until a loud crash came from outside. Souta jumped up when he heard the crash. "What was that!?" He yelped.
Sango immediately ran outside only to see a large snake demon entering the village. "No," She gasped.
"What is it mom?" Koto asked, hurrying to her side.
"A demon is attacking. I'll have to fight," Sango replied and bit her lip.
"But mama said you shouldn't!" Kira protested.
"I have no choice Kira," Sango sighed. "You three stay inside the hut," She said and ran into a different hut.
Souta, curious stepped out of the hut to see the demon. "Uncle Souta, Sango said to stay here," Kira warned.
"I'll just be a second," Souta replied, turning around. As he turned, the snake's tail shot out and wrapped itself around Souta's waist. All three screamed as Souta was pulled up to the demon's face.
"Pathetic mortal," the snake demon hissed at Souta with an evil grin. "I'll have you as a snack before I destroy this entire village!" With that the demon pulled Souta towards his mouth.
"NO!" Souta shouted, thrusting his arms out in front of him. Just as he was about to enter the demon's mouth a force emitted from Souta's extended hands, making the demon shout in pain and drop Souta.
Kira, having some of her father's strength and abilities, was able to jump up and catch Souta before he hit the ground.
"Thanks Kira," Souta sighed with relief as Kira let him down.
"Look out you two!" Koto shouted as he ran over to Kira and Souta. "That demon isn't done yet! Run!" Souta and Kira looked up and saw the snake lunging forward in attack.
Just then a girl lept out of the trees, straight at the demon. She threw a chain around the demon's neck and used it to pull it to the ground. She then pulled out a katana from its sheath. She pushed off another tree and landed the katana right in the demon's chest. The girl then landed neatly, about a foot away from Souta, Kira and Koto.
"Are you all right!?" She looked straight at Souta, full of concern.
"I'm...I'm fine." Souta stuttered and blushed.
"I'm so glad!" She smiled and walked over to them. "I thought I was too late, but then you pulled off that awesome move! What was that?"
"I'm not quite sure myself." Souta admitted.
"Oh, then you may want to talk to Miss. Kagome about that," the girl suggested. "Her powers are similar."
"You know my sister too!?" Souta asked.
"Sister? I didn't know Miss. Kagome had a brother," she said. "It's nice to meet you. My name is Rin."
"Oh! I'm Souta. It's nice to meet you too."
Just then Sango came hurrying over, holding her Hirakutsu over her shoulder. "Rin! I'm so glad you showed up! Now I won't be scolded by Miroku and the others," she laughed. "You did a great job taking out that demon."
"Well it wasn't all my doing. Souta here gave the demon a huge blow," Rin explained.
"Souta did?" Sango looked over at him.
"Yeah, this purple light came from his hands and burned the demon," She said in an excited manner.
"Amazing," Sango said in awe. "Just like Kagome."
"Huh?" Souta looked over at Sango.
"Nothing, I'll explain when the others get back," Sango assured him. "So what brings you here Rin?" Sango asked.
"Well let's just say I've come with some bad news," Rin sighed.
"What...is something wrong?" Sango panicked slightly.
"I'd rather not explain until the other's come, but I'll tell you...it involves the Shikon No Tama."
