Meeting New People
Story by ForestSprite but put up by SmilingKitsune cause she wouldn't hehehe
The Meetings
Chapter 2
The four people and the cat were once again found walking through the forest tension filled the air. "Is it just me or does it feel like we're being watched?" Miroku muttered.
"I get that feeling too." Sango and Kagome said at the same time. They grinned at each other a bit.
"Shippo can you sense anything?" Kagome asked the small kitsune on her shoulder.
He stood up straight on her shoulder holding his nose up to the sky his eyes closed lazily. After a few moments he sank back down into his original position hanging onto her neck.
"I sense nothing." he said
She sighed quietly. "I didn't think so. Why does it feel like we're being watched though? Whatever it is would have to be close by to be watching us so we'd still be able to sense its presence." she murmured quietly to herself.
"Why would I want you to sense my presence though when I'm trying to study your little group?" a soft melodious voice asked.
Surprised the group set the litter to the ground whipping out their weapons facing the direction the voice came from to see the most beautiful girl there.
She had long blonde hair that flowed down her back freely blowing in the soft wind, slightly slanted, narrowed green eyes stared back at them. She was short, petite and skinny and athletic looking. She was dressed in a long black skirt with high slits in them that would let her move easier if she were to get into a fight and a forest green top with no sleeves that was loose on her small slender frame. She had two swords strapped to her sides, a bow on her back, daggers strapped to her arms and legs and a staff much like the one Miroku carried. The only difference was on her staff you could make out strange words carved into it the words seeming foreign. She was bare foot hanging from her ankles hung silver bracelets the same for her wrist.
Around her neck she wore a silver dragon necklace and she wore a black dragon tattoo that wrapped around her arm with crimson red eyes.
She was beautiful and deadly.
She took a step forward bracelets making musical tone as they hit against each other. "I see he has perished. It was to be expected." the girl said looking at the litter on the ground that lay behind the group.
"Who are you and what do you want?" Sango asked her.
"You are in no position to be asking me questions. You are in my lands and my friends in the forest told me of a disturbance that was in here. It seems you are the disturbance." she replied looking coolly at her.
"Forgive my friend. She is tired and under lots of strain. It tends to make her short tempered." Kagome said lowering her weapon to the ground looking at this strange girl who nodded her head at Kagome's explanation. There was something about her that told her she didn't want to fight at all that she was here for some other reason then a fight.
"Out of curiosity. You seem to know us but we don't know you. Could you please tell us your name?" Miroku asked looking at her warily.
She flashed the group a small smile. "What a trusting bunch. What if I didn't come here to talk but to kill you?"
"You would have done it. You've already had many chances to do it so you must be here for a reason." Kagome reasoned.
'She's a smart one.' she thought to herself looking at Kagome with small amount of respect.
"Ah the Lady Kagome is right. I don't come here for a fight but to lead you out of my forests towards your destination."
"How do you know what that is?" Shippo asked curiously.
"I know many things little kit and this is one of them." she said with a small smile at him. "Let me introduce myself. I am Krystal one of the forest people sometimes called forest sprites for how small we are and are rarely ever seen." she said with a small bow. "Let me take you to a shelter for the night then I will accompany you out of these woods. They can be dangerous. I'm surprised you haven't been eaten yet especially last night with the holfs nearby when you rested. Very foolish." she said to the clueless group who had no idea what a holf was.
"What are the holfs?" Shippo asked curiously.
"Have you ever heard of a werewolf child?" she asked him.
"Yes people that turn into wolfs on a full moon right?"
"Yes well the holfs are humans that can turn into wolves whenever they want and have more control over themselves then the werewolves but they tend to lose it still during a full moon cause there werewolf side reacts strongly to it and last night was a full moon."
(Hey Ame I put in the holfs our creation. i'm so proud of them they are currently in a story that i'm working it's so much fun)
"Luckily I've been watching over your group since you entered my lands. Well actually they're not my lands but it's my home here and the animals here know to report to me on strange happenings so I can keep our home safe."
Miroku looked at her strangely. "You say your a forest sprite right?"
She nodded her head waiting to see where this would lead.
"Don't your kind stay together though? From rumors I had heard it was said that your people never travel alone but in large groups." "I'm an exception to this rule." she said shrugging her shoulders.
Miroku made to speak again but stopped as he felt an elbow poke into his ribs. He looked to find Kagome shaking her head no looking carefully at the other girl with watchful eyes. "I see. Well you said you were gonna take us to a shelter for the night? Let's go then." she said as she picked up her side of the litter. Nodding everyone else grabbed a side and followed the girl through the forest.
As the sun began to sink from the sky they finally reached their destination a cave that seemed to have been deserted for sometime. Once they reached it they placed the litter down and Kagome put a barrier around it to keep its contents safe she said to the questioning looks from the group.
Nodding they all began to set up camp Kagome and Shippo gathering wood and Sango and Miroku getting water and some edible plants. They stayed together as they did their work. When they got farther from the camp Miroku finally asked the question that had been bothering him. "Why did you stop me when I was going to ask the Lady Krystal about her being an exception to the rule?"
Kagome straightened from her bent over position in gathering wood and looked at him her eyes wise. "Where you watching her eyes as she spoke Miroku-san?" she asked him.
She shook his head no.
"I didn't think so. Whatever the reason it most likely wasn't on her own free will. She's sad about whatever it is that happened. No point in breaking open old wounds for now. We just met her and I don't think we should pry yet. If we spend more time with her she might find herself willing to tell us but she just met us now so I don't think she'd want to tell us about it." she said looking at both Miroku and Sango pointedly.
They both nodded in understanding slightly taken a back by her wisdom.
"Got everything?" she asked grinning widely at them. They nodded again. "Then let's go." she said grabbing Shippo's hand skipping back to the cave with him.
Sango and Miroku looked towards each other grinning nervously. "She scares me sometimes." Miroku confided to her. She nodded in agreement.
A shout up ahead told them they were being left behind. They then ran to catch up with her.
