Move #11-Aura

Botan furrowed her eyebrows as she studied the map. There was lots of twist and turns that is hard to pin point where their location is. They had gotten out of the bus and everyone seems to have feel lazy. It was a long trip after all. 'I can not read this map, but I better not tell the others or Yusuke will really scream his heads off,' she thought nervously glancing at the leader of the group.

"Are you having trouble Botan?"

She jumped a little when she heard Kurama asked. With a little nod, she ran behind Kurama when Yusuke angrily glared at her, "And you didn't tell us until now?!"

"Well Yusuke, as you know, I wouldn't want you to get angry while our mission is in stake." She said peeking from Kurama's arm.

"Just calm down Yusuke," started Kurama, "According to this map, the Sunset Shrine isn't that far," he said calmly. "We just need to head north of this Kinoriko street and turn west of the Tikosei street. After so, we are here." He said this as they were walking and now, the four stood in front of huge steps.

Kagome sat nervously next to Yasha. Something seems off; Yasha doesn't respond to anything when he said hello. All he did was gave a monotone bow. This isn't like him at all. She just couldn't put her foot on it. Everybody in this house seems to have no soul. And when Narako caught her glance, her mind started to react and her body started to sweat.

She doesn't like her position here. And everyone seems to be acting as if their dolls, 'Almost like Kanna sucked their soul out and controlling . . .' she trailed off.

'I doubt that. Inu Yasha and the others are traveling to collect all the pieces of the jewel, they could have come to my time. Besides, only Inu Yasha and I could travel through the well. Naraku and his off springs couldn't ha-'

"Are you full?" The voice started her as she dropped her fork. Empty. So blank. When she looked up, she couldn't contain the gasp that came out of her mouth. "Ka-Kanna!"

"I am sorry if I have startled you, but it seems you have stopped eating; is there something the matter with the food?"

"N-no, it's wonderful, and by any chance are you Kanna?" She asked fearfully.

The girl had pale hands and long whites hair that was in a bun this time. Her eyes were coal black blankness. Her kimono was of a white yukata. Those two white flowers on her head. This time this girl was taller and she had matured into a woman.

"No, my name is Konya." She answered as she took the plate from Kagome. She bowed and took her leave with a blank face.

"Are you not enjoying the food Kagome?" She turned to Yasha. His eyes are so blank. Everything is so wrong.

"No, it was delicious, but I need to use the-"

"Restroom is up the first floor, down the right hallway." Answered Narako before she could finish.

Hiei was right there when they got to shrine. Botan gasp at the site. "It is this shrine I see." Started Kurama, "The Sunset Shrine I saw on the news telling it burned in a very weird way. They didn't know the cause, but it was said that four people and a cat had died leaving a girl to mourn for them. I presume the girl is the time-traveler who came out of that well over there. Suprisingly it is not burned like the rest." Kurama then turned to the tree, "The Goshinboku tree I heard of. It seems it has not burned like the rest."

"The Goshinboku tree?" Asked Yusuke curiously.

Kurama nodded, "Yes., the goshinboku. It was said a half-demon was struck by a miko the name of Kikyou. He was in a curse to sleep forever. And according to Koenma, her reincarnation freed him. That is the time-traveler I suppose."

Kuwabara looked around the place, and was surprised to find a shard of something, "Hey guys, I found something!"

The others ran to him and Kurama and Hiei eyes widen in surprise, "A shard of the sacred jewel," they whispered.

Yusuke, "What?"

Kurama explained, "This shard was the cause of the time-traveling girl to time-travel, it can increase."

"Demon's strength by a hundred fold if collected whole." Hiei cut in."

"That is right," nodded Kurama, "Now, shall we searched for more clues?"

Hiei turned around and saw an alarm clock. He was there in an instant, 'This scent, is that of Kagome. So if Kagome have lived here then . . .'

"I know this scent," said Kurama from far away, "It's-"

"Kagomes'." Hiei interjected tossing the pink clock towards Kurama.

Kurama raised an eyebrow, "You know my step sister? How is that possible Hiei may I ask?" Kurama ask suspiciously.

"That is none of your concern Kurama." They couldn't hel;p but glare at each other. Kurama has felt Hiei's presence in the house, but he had thought the demon was just in a secluded area up in his tree. If he was with Kagome, then that would mean, he has been in her room a few times, he suppose.

Botan came up between them sensing the bad tension, "Uh, there is no time to glare at one another here boys, you would not want to act like Kuwabara and Yusuke now would you?"

From where Yusuke is at the well, he sneezed. From where Kuwabara is at the tree, he sneezed.

Kurama looked over Hiei's shoulder as he saw a piece of paper sticking under a piece of wood, "What is that?"

Hiei's gaze turned towards where Kurama said. With his speed, he was there holding on to the "paper." It was a photo. His eyes furrowed. It was a picture of Kagome and Yasha?! 'Kagome is in trouble,' Hiei thought, dropping the paper. He was gone before Kurama could say anything.

He ran and picked up the photo and gasped, "Kagome . . .oh no . . ." With that he started to run and increasing his normal agility.

Botan blinked and wondered what just happen as she picked up the photo, "Kagome? And who's this?"

As she turned off the faucet, she dried her face with the towel. Everything seems like an illusion. This feeling that is growing inside her stomach wasn't out of hunger. It is something she hasn't felt in awhile; it was fear.

Kagome opened the door, and closed it back. When she looked up, she thought she caught a glimpse of pink crimson eyes, 'There is something up there, and I have to find out.'

With this newfound determination, she ran up the stairs, 'I could feel the presence of strong spirits up there. And this mansion . . .It feels so ominous.' As she furrowed, her eyebrows, she ran faster.

sry so short, but i have homework! D: - {;O)
