Sakura's life: part 4
Sakura climbed out of the well. She sniffed the air. There was a faint, very faint, but familiar scent about this place.
Nearby, she heard the bustling of a town. "Humans?" Sakura asked. She had heard it right away.
She ran towards the town, only to be confronted by a woman holding a bow an arrow, pointed at her chest. Sakura backed up.
"Be Gone, Demon!" the woman spat. Sakura's eyes widened. "Wait! I want nothing to do with Demons. I only want to find a creature by the name of…InuYasha." Sakura said.
A muscle twitched in the woman's face. "I am Kikyo, protectress of this city. No creatures by that name are here." She said. It seemed as if she was lying.
"Try the north." She suggested. Sakura bowed. "Thank you"
She walked of towards the forest. In there, she found a pond, and an abandoned vegetable garden. She drank a lot of the water, and ate a vegetable.
Then, She shed her kimono, and bathed away the filth from the bone eater's well. Just as she was finishing, she heard running.
She dove under the water, with a deep breath. A figure clad in red ran past the pond in the direction of the town. Sakura surfaced.
The figure was too far away to see clearly, except that it was wearing red, and had silver hair. She climbed out of the well and redressed. It was time to head north.
