A/N: I couldn't wait to update, so here's the next chappie. :) I would like to thank my reviewer, thanks for the advice. At first I thought I got a flame, but it ended up to be a compliment, lol thanks Priestess kurumi inu's sister
Disclaimer: I say this for all my chapters, I do not own Inuyasha or any original character. I own Amaya and any other unfamiliar characters that may show up in the story. I also own the plot, My origonal idea. I'm so proud :)
Amaya sat on what Kagome called a 'sleeping bag.' Everyone around her was fast asleep, but little Amaya's thoughts were on other things besides rest. Her power was drained from the force of power she had used earlier, and her eyes felt as if a thousand pounds were wieghing them down. She looked to the moon, something very special to her for reasons she told no one. For such a young child she was extremely smart, for she lived not only with her mother, but the priestest who had given her her name. She didn't know why her mother or the priestest let the villagers try to sacrifice her, but she new one thing, she couldn't go back.
Kagome stirred in her sleep, a nightmare haunting her. She awoke with a start, looking around franticlly. "Are you ok Kagome?" Amaya asked in the cute soft voice that she rarely used that whole day. "I just had a bad dream is all..." Kagome said with a sigh of relief that the dream was not real. "If sister were here, she'd help you." Amaya looked up to the moon wich was half full at the time.
Kagome looked at her oddly, "You have a sister? Is she back at your village?" Kagome asked.
Amaya shook her head, "I don't know where she is, for some reason she was last year's sacrifice to the moon howler demon...I don't know why I was picked to be sacrificed either....that's two in one family.." Amaya replied sadly. Kagome noticed her saddness and went to comfort her, "Why don't you tell me about her?" She said pulling Amaya in her lap. "Well, her name was Isadora, or Amaris...the priestest, the same one that named me, named her that....It means 'gift from the moon' or 'child of the moon." Amaya stated. "She was 7 minutes older than me, I depended on her more than mother. I woke up in the middle of the night, the night a child would be sacrificed to the moon howler demon....but she wasn't there..." The ending of her sentance lingered on as she was lost in thought of her sister.
Kagome stroked her hair, "We should sleep now, we have a long way till the next village." Kagome layed her down on the sleeping bag and covered her up. "Good night." She said softly and Amaya, no matter how hard she tried not to, drifted to sleep.
Sunlight peeked through the branches of the overhanging trees as everyone awoke feeling well rested and fresh. Sango and Miroku had been at thier camp all the day before as Inuyasha and Kagome went to find were the jewel shard that she was sensing. "I'm so tired." Miroku said stretching. "Oh shut up, you didn't even get off your lazy butt yesterday as me and Kagome went to find that jewel shard." Inuyasha snapped. Amaya sat upright on her sleeping bag, her black, fine hair a mess. "Good morning Amaya." Kagome greeted, and combed her hair of the knots. Sango kneeled next to Amaya and smiled at her, "Amaya, Could you tell me something?" She asked and Amaya nodded, Sango's smile disappeared....
