Protecting Sango SmilingKitsune Chapter 5
Last Time
"I see." Sango said sadly.
"You believe me?" Kurama asked.
"I assure you I put a great deal of faith in dreams. They truly do hold a truth in them and I should have listened to them before and I wouldn't have lost my sister in the first place.
If the dream is pointing me towards finding the coward then I will." "I see." "Maybe."
This Time
"We'll stop at this village. I'll see if anyone has heard any rumors of miasma." Sango said to the slightly tiring group. They had done a lot of traveling before but never at such a pace as hers. She kept going non stop as though she was the energizer bunny. As Yusuke joked maybe she was related to him.
"What does miasma have to do with finding Naraku?" Yusuke asked tiredly.
"Wherever there is large amounts of miasma there is Naraku not far from there. It's his specialty that and running away from battle." she muttered as she walked toward a certain hut knocking politely.
A young maidens voice called from the inside bidding her in. Sango glanced back at the two before going into the hut simply stating over her shoulder. "Stay here. I'll be right back." Standing outside the hut they were able to make out the conversation from inside.
"Hello Sango. How are you holding up?" "I've been doing fine Claire." "I've heard some interesting rumors. Did you really find her stuff then?" "Yes I did. Everything but the jewel." "If someone was using it we'd know about it. You know that Sango. Something as powerful as the jewel in use would be hard to miss." "You don't think she's alive though do you?" "No in fact I don't. I'm sorry Sango and I know how much you want to find her but I think it's a waste of time." "I know I know. I have new companions as of now and one of them had a dream from someone who told him the same thing and said I should turn my attention to finding Naraku." "He is very weak right now." "I know. When she actually hit a target with her arrows she really did some damage." "She'd hurt you for that Sango. That was quite insulting. In her first year yes she was horrible but after that she did very well even in hand to hand combat and sword fighting.
She was a fast learner. She even had better control of her powers and even learned simple magic spells." "I still miss her." "I think the whole of this world has noticed her disappearance. I hardly ever hear anymore stories of the weird group that goes to hunt the evil being." Sango chuckled. "Yes the weird group." she gave a small longing sigh.
"Why are you here Sango?" "Have you heard any rumors that might lead me to Naraku?" "In fact I have. I was going to send a messenger to your village soon but since you're here I have heard of a rumor about a place far in the North." "The North? That doesn't sound good. The Lords of the North didn't even support us in the battle against Naraku. This may be hard to get into their lands. Thank you Claire.
Take care." "Sango." "Yes?" "Please be careful. I know you think Naraku did something to her but don't do anything stupid. She'd be disappointed in you if you threw yourself head first into battle to get revenge for her. She cares about you to much to want you to hurt yourself in doing that." "She was always stupid." "Was she? Did putting friends and even people she didn't know ahead of herself, was that stupid? You may think so now that you think about it but if it wasn't for her love of life and people you wouldn't be alive today. Inuyasha would have killed you if she weren't around then and you wouldn't be alive now trying to save your brother and getting rid of your greatest enemy." the girl said softly.
"She was still stupid." Sango said sadly her feet slapping against the hard ground as she came to join the others outside. "We're heading toward the North." she said walking past them toward Kirara who stood waiting outside the village. "First though we're going to rest." she said with a small smile as she walked off with Kirara toward a nearby stream.
"Finally." Yusuke said dropping to the hard ground leaning against a tree. "That girl keeps a strict pace." Kurama just smiled tiredly as he leaned against a tree standing up. Hiei sitting in a tree above them.
Sango appeared not long after with the cat by her side. One look at the three she tried her best to hide her smile. "We're going to be staying here the rest of the night." she said as she gathered some wood to start a fire. She struck a flint rock trying to coax the small spark to become bigger cursing when it went out.
Yusuke looked at her surprised. She had a much more colorful language then him. He might learn some new words while being here.
Sango struck again at the flint trying to get the small spark to get bigger almost jumping in surprise when she saw hands come into view grabbing her own helping her start the fire. She turned to see Kurama and smiling at him she stood up and headed toward the forest. "I'll be back." she said pulling loose some throwing knives so they were ready to be used and disappeared into the forest. Yusuke yawned tiredly and moved closer to the fire trying to gain some warmth from it as the hot morning sun began to move away from them the air becoming chilly.
Rustling to their right their eyes narrowed on a clump visibly relaxing when Kirara came into the camp with a small rabbit in her mouth. The comfortable silence was broken by a cry made by an animal in pain. Kirara's head cocked to the side and with a mighty roar she transformed to her bigger form and took off. "Damn it." Yusuke cursed following behind the large cat.
They reached the forest to find a number of demons surrounding Sango who it appeared had an injured shoulder from the way she was holding her arm.
"Rose whip." Kurama said pulling out his rose transforming it into his weapon. He swung it around taking out a number of the demons as Hiei disappeared among their numbers with his lightning speed quickness as he cut them down and Yusuke just took to using his street fighting skills punching and kicking them down. As Yusuke knocked the last one down Kurama hurried to the girls side supporting her as they made their way back toward the camp. It seems she had also hurt her ankle.
Kirara followed behind them with her weapons and two large rabbits. Back at camp Kurama helped Sango to the ground where he proceeded to check her wounds. First looking at her ankle he saw slight swelling. "You'll have to be careful with that." he said to her as he took some cloth wrapping it around to keep it stiff.
"Thank you." she murmured a hint of red in her cheeks.
"No need for thanks yet. Let me see that shoulder." he said with a dazzling smile.
"I'll be fine." she replied a bit hastily.
"It must be pretty bad if you're wincing from barely moving." "I bear my own injuries. I will be fine." she growled at him. Kirara came over by her then in her smaller form and began to mew at her in a scolding tone.
"You spent to much time with the kit Kirara. I will be fine." she said dryly.
"Did you actually understand her?" he asked her curiously.
"Of course. I've had her for a large part of my life we understand each other and no Kirara don't bother. I'm fine. I think I'll rest now." she said moving herself over more so that she could lay down on the ground. Kirara growled at her and walked off to grab a small pack bringing it back. "Yes mother." she said sarcastically opening the small bag to pull out a blanket. Covering herself in it she cocked an eye at the cat. "Happy now?" All she got was a small purr of satisfaction. "Worse then a human mother." Sango muttered as she closed her eyes as she fell asleep.
"You like her." a simple voice said behind Kurama who had sat by her side the whole time even after she fell asleep.
Startled he turned to find Hiei looking at him, Yusuke already asleep.
"She is interesting." Kurama agreed his cheeks reddening a bit his eyes resting on her peaceful sleeping face. "She's a strong woman." "Hn." Kurama smiled at his stubborn friend. "I think I'll rest now. Will you be sleeping as well Hiei or are you going to keep watch?" "I'm always on my guard even in my sleep." Hiei said though he didn't say anything about the weird energy he felt around the small spot they were camped in. How it felt as though it was protecting them.
"Of course." Kurama conceded as he went over to the fire adding another piece into it then found a tree which he leaned against to fall asleep.
Hiei gave a small snort and jumped into a tree and he soon drifted off.
Hiei's Dream
He once again found himself in the moonlit field the hooded figure sitting down in the middle of it. Without any prompting from the girl he walked over and sat by her.
They sat in silence for a period of time before she finally spoke. "I'm surprised you have slept so soon after the last time we talked. Most demons don't need much sleep." "Hn." "Indeed." she said you could hear humor in her voice.
"Why do you come to me in my dreams?" "I couldn't tell you. I don't know why I'm here." she said a small delicate hand twisted nervously at the cloth of the cloak.
He didn't say anything for awhile. "Why is it always this place I see you at?" "This is my world." "Is this a real place?" "The real thing is never as beautiful. This is my world. In a way I guess I could say that you're intruding in my dreams not me entering yours. Then again I'm not asleep really. I think." her other hand came up by the face of the hood and twirled around a loose strand of wavy raven black hair that hung down.
"What do you look like?" "I could show you." she said her reaching up her hands to her hood and pulling it back.
Hiei was never one to pay much attention to a female before but this one was eye catching. She was beautiful with large stormy blue eyes and long raven black hair that contrasted against her milky white skin that glowed in the moonlight.
Her lips pulled into a small smile. "Better?" He didn't reply. "So how was your first day of traveling?" "Hn." "That doesn't tell me much. How about I talk for awhile then." and she did she talked to him about different things she had done in her life about things she had seen and all the things she still wanted to do and he in turn talked to her a bit not telling her a bit but telling her a little bit.
Soon once again the field began to blur and the girls eyes widened in panic as she faded a bit and reappeared again. "He comes for me again. We will meet again." she said as she faded completely. "Look for it. It'll lead you to him." End Dream
Hiei opened his eyes scanning around the campsite. He felt uneasy about something.
Something inside of him told him to climb to the top of the tree. Trusting his instincts he did just that stopping in surprise at what he saw. Miasma off into the far distance. Tons of it. 'Look for it. It'll lead you to him...' She knew. Kage knew about it.
He jumped down from the tree intent on waking the fox but it seems he had gotten a companion during the night. The girl Sango had moved from her spot during the night to lie by Kurama.
He smirked. The fox it seemed was finally going to settle down soon and not have to worry about those baka fan girls he had chasing him back home.
Hearing slight rustling he turned to see Yusuke looking at the two as well smirking.
"Those two were up for awhile last night chatting. I heard them. I didn't think they had gotten that close though." he snickered in a quiet voice so as not to wake them.
"They've seen to have hit it off pretty quickly." Hiei replied quietly feeling a slight pang in the back of his heart.
Would he get someone?
He shook off such foolish thoughts. He didn't need emotions like that. They were weaknesses and he was not weak. He needed no one. He'd show everyone that after this mission.

:'( Poor Hiei I really hadn't planned on doing much for him lol maybe i'll have to just so I don't get attacked by any rabid fan girls :D oh well i'll work on that SmilingKitsune
