Chapter 3
Nanashi
Nanashi walked passed the group and cleared the floor. She then started a fire and motioned for them to sit around the fire with her.
"No reason to be cold and wet when there's a fire, now is there?"
They all agreed and joined her around the fire. After awhile they began to talk.
"So nanashi, why are you here?" asked kagome.
"I don't know. This is where I live I guess."
"You live in this run down piece of shit!" shouted inuyasha.
"No you moron! I just stick around here cause I don't got nowhere to go!"
"And why is that?" shouted inuyasha.
"Because I don't remember where else I could go!"
"And why is that?" asked miroku.
"When I was young, I lost my family and my memory. I can't remember anything after my 14th birthday."
"I'm so sorry to hear that nanashi." Said kagome.
"It's not your fault."
"Do you know how it happened?" asked sango.
"I think I was hit in the head with something heavy, I have a scar on the back of my head. You wanna see?"
Kagome and sango nodded their heads.
Nanashi parted the hair on the back of her head to reveal a long and thin stripe of flesh where hair refused to grow. There was the scar she was talking about.
"That must have hurt." Stated sango as she viewed the scar.
"Whatever hit you must have been pretty heavy. It looks like it had cracked you head open." Said kogome as she sat down.
They stayed silent until shippo's stomach started growling.
"I guess I'm hungry." He stated shyly.
"I think we're all hungry." Stated kagome. She then turned to nanashi. "Is there anything to eat here?"
"Yah, follow me." Nanashi walked out of the room and into the hall. She stopped and waited for the group. When they were all in the hall, she walked down it.
They walked for sometime before nanashi stopped.
"What's wrong?" asked kagome. Kagome then looked passed nanashi to see a wall of debris blocking the hallway. "How are going to get passed it?" she asked.
Nanashi turned to the group. "I know a short cut." She then jumped into the rafters.
"How are we going to get up there?" asked sango.
"Kagome, climb onto my back." Stated inuyasha.
"Ok."
Inuyasha jumped into the rafters and set kagome on them and helped the others.
"Follow me, it's just a little further."
The group followed nanashi though the rafters, heeding her warnings on which rafters couldn't hold their weight.
Soon, nanashi jumped down from the rafters. Inuyasha helped them all down.
"Here we are." Stated nanashi triumphantly.
Everyone stared in aw at the site before them.
The most beautiful garden on earth. Sakura trees stood everywhere. Fruit trees stood as well. Flower bushes and patches were everywhere. There was a cabal stone path winding through the garden, in the cabal stone path were beautiful gems. In the center of it all was a beautiful, 10 ft tall diamond fountain and sapphire blue water flowed through it. The ceiling was made of glass and showed everything going on out side.
Nanashi walked up the path to one of the fruit trees and picked some fruit. She then sat down on the emerald green grass and began eating. The group soon recovered from the shock and joined her.
After they ate, nanashi showed them where some beds were and bid them good night. She then returned to the main room and slept on the rafter she was napping on earlier.
