Chapter 7- Unfolded 'Ello! Here is Chappy seven. I really like how this story is turning out, and I'm really glad (not mad XD) that people actually like it! GAP Finally they were there. They were at Kaede's village.
"I think that you better hang back till we say so…" Miroku told Ai.
"Why?" asked InuYasha.
Ai also looked just as equally puzzled.
"You'll find out sooner or later InuYasha," Sango told him.
"Oh! Oh…" InuYasha remembered and suddenly looked as down as he had before they found Ai.
Of course, how could he forget? InuYasha still had to tell Kaede about why Kagome wasn't with them. He had just been putting it off by bonding with Ai. InuYasha knew that it had to be dealt with, but he really didn't deal with it right at this moment.
So Ai stayed back, as Miroku had suggested. She watched the sky in the fading twilight. It was orange with streaks of purple. Suddenly, she heard a twig snapped. Ai spun around. It was just InuYasha.
"Kaede got a room set up for us all to sleep in tonight," he informed her.
"Cool!" Ai replied. It was now going to be their third night together. And for some reason, Ai was keeping track.
InuYasha and Ai went to the building so they could claim two beds by each other.
GAP That night outside of the village, some evil lurks. It waits. And waits. Suddenly! It strikes!
GAP The girl heard a scream. She was about five years old. All she was doing was playing just beyond the village borders. She had been expecting her mother to call her back soon. But this was a shriek of terror.
The girl raced back as fast as her legs would carry her. Something was not right. Everything felt wrong. As the village came into sight a horrible scene met the little girl's eyes.
The village was ruined. Some buildings still stood. But not hers. There were motionless bodies of friends scattered along the ground. Then she heard moaning.
She quickly found the source of the moans. It was a lady. She was familiar. The lady. Was. The girl's mother.
The girl suddenly let out a flood of tears. The worst had happened. This was almost as bad as how abusive the girl's father was always towards her. Only because she was a girl. The girl ran to her mother's side.
"Mama"
"Be strong…" that was all that her mom could manage.
"MAMA!" Tears splashed into puddles below her. The flood that seemed as though it would never stop.
But her mom was gone. There was nothing that could be done to bring her back. Afraid and alone the girl ran. Unknown was the destination, she just ran. Tears streaming down her face she just about ran off a cliff, as the tears obscured her vision. She stopped just in time. The girl had no idea what she would do. She just sat there.
"Nothing really matters. Anyone in the whole word can see that. Nothing really matters. Nothing really matters to me"
GAP Ai awoke in a panic. Sweat dripping off her body. It had been a long time since she had that dream. It was always the same. Never changing. Always the same, sad ending.
A scream was suddenly heard. Everyone was awake now. Ai peeked her head out the window. It was a giant centipede. Roaring at people and thrashing about.
InuYasha, Sango, Miroku and Kirara rushed outside. Ai followed them out; eager for change in the pace. Also ready for a fight.
"What are you doing out here?" InuYasha asked.
"I'm going to help you beat this thing!" Ai replied.
"You have to stay inside!" InuYasha ordered, "Kagome always stayed inside during a fight"
Everyone stopped, forgetting about the centipede and they all wanted to see what happened this time.
"Well Kagome was a weakling!" Ai shouted.
In the background the centipede bent over and snatched up a person in its greedy jaws. The person was soon gone and the centipede looked around for more victims.
"There goes Erika…" Kaede said in a harassed tone.
"She was an idiot anyways…" Said and villager.
"Kagome was not a weakling!" InuYasha defended.
"Of course she was! Why else do you think I killed her?" Ai clamped her hands over her mouth the moment that came out.
GAP Bwahahahahahaha! I'm sooooooooo evil! Oh, and by the way, Erika is my best friend, she wanted to be in the story, so I told her she could get eaten by a giant centipede! XDDDDDD
