Chapter 4
Instead of staying in an empty house/temple alone you decide to go to follow Sango and Mirokus' to see what they're up to. You go to your room and grab your sword and backpack, and then head back out. Once you're out you lock the house/temple entrance behind you and head out through the forest to Sangos' house.
You are now half way to Sangos' house, treading down a forest path with your sword at your side and your backpack on your back. A twig snaps far away to your side and you turn in that direction. You shrug it off and continue your quest to Sangos'.... You sense a presence rapidly heading in your direction and you turn in the direction and grab the hilt of your sword. The presence suddenly stops.
"Who's there?! ... Inuyasha?" You yell to the forest trees, whispering the last part...
Not receiving an answer, except for the sound of a retreating bird flapping wings. Your eyes scan the area around you checking for anything suspicious, but you detect nothing, whatever it could have been must have disappeared. You shrug it off and release your hilt, heading back on the path to get to Sango and Mirokus'.
You soon approach the village that they, Miroku and Sango, settled in, close to Kaedes' hut. A somewhat friendly place with nice people, except they're a bit wary of Inuyasha, but gotten used to him over time. You hear your name called in back of you and turn to see the local children waving at you. You smile and wave back and they start playing again. You then continue to walk, finally getting to Sango and Mirokus'. You stop at the entrance and knock on the door. You then wait and a few minutes later Sango comes to the door.
"Hello (Insert Name)!" She says then moves out the way so you can come in.
"Hi Sango!" You say and step in.
She closes the door behind you and ushers you to the kitchen part of the house. She then sits down at the table and you follow her.
"Would you like some tea?" She asks holding up a tea kettle.
"Yes, thanks" You reply and she pours you and herself some tea in a mug.
"How have you been?" She asks taking a sip of tea.
"Good, how have you and Miroku been?" You ask taking a sip of tea.
"We've been good." Sango answers. "Where're Shippou and Inuyasha?"
"Shippou went to play with Hana today." You say and take another sip of tea.
"Oh, and Inuyasha?"
"He went to check something out in the forest somewhere." You say staring down into the brown liquid in your mug.
"Why? Is there some kind of demon in the forest?" Sango asks.
"I don't know... He was acting weird this morning, but he said everything was ok."
"Well I'm sure everything's fine, Inuyasha can take care of himself." Sango says smiling and you look up from your tea.
"Well, I guess you're right..." You say with a small smile. Right then Miroku walks into the kitchen.
"Hello (Insert Name)!" He says and sits down next to Sango.
"Hey Miroku!"
"It's nice to see you! Where're Inuyasha and Shippou?"
"Shippou is playing with Hana, somewhere."
"And Inuyasha is checking something out in the forest." Sango adds on.
Hours later...
You've been at Sangos' for a couple hours now, chatting, but with time playing a part in it; it seems to have gotten pretty late. Shippou and Tetsu came back from Hanas' already for dinner, which you all had there. Now it's time to go back home, being so late. You, Shippou and Tetsu are just outside Sangos'.
"Bye Sango! Bye Miroku!!" Shippou says waving at Sango and Miroku, walking backwards into through the village heading for the forest, while Sango and Miroku wave from the entrance of the house.
"Bye!" You yell before Miroku and Sango are out of site.
You continue to walk through the village and wave at a villager who knows your name. You turn your attention to the night sky, looking at the numerous, luminescent stars. Something you couldn't see in your original times' city.
"Where's Inuyasha?" Shippou asks.
"Um, he went in the forest to check something out right before you left." You reply glancing at Shippou. You finally reach the forest entrance and start to head down the pass. "What did you do with Hana today?" You ask and you see Shippous' cheeks darken.
"Um, we went-"starts to talk about what he and Hana did today.
You nod and smile every now and then, seeing him smile and laugh. You return your gaze to the sky, but still paying attention to what Shippous' saying. You then lower your gaze to see Tetsu up ahead sniffing around on something next to a tree. As you get closer you see that it's kind of large and black with yellow like strands sticking out. You continue to walk closer and see that it seems to have a black cloak laying upon it, so it could be more than an anonymous heap; you stop beside Tetsu and Shippou stops, too.
"It smells like a human." Shippou whispers.
"We'll just have to find out."
You bend down in front of it, slowly reaching for the cloak. You slowly pull the cloak off revealing a body underneath laying on its' back with blond, messy hair laying on her back down her back. You frown and check its' pulse, to find a very slow one.
"Is she alive?" Shippou whispers.
"Yeah, but barely" You whisper back and gently flip the girl over.
She seems to be a girl around your age, {remember, in the last fic you were 16 and now its one year later...} with very long blond hair that seems to go down to her waist, also a trickle of blood traveling down from her forehead to her cheek. You then spot a big gash on her stomach, that looks fresh and gasp by the looks of it she probably won't-
"Rin we have to hurry and get her home or she won't make it!" You stand and try to; gently as possible pull the girl up with you and Shippou helps.
"I can carry her!" Shippou says and 'puffs' into his infamous big, floating, pink balloon form. Shippou lowers himself to the ground and you gently place the girl on him. You all then hastily go back to the house/temple as fast as possible.
Once you finally get there, you place her in a spare room on a futon. Then you go to find bandages and a first aid kit and have Shippou to boil some water. When Shippou comes back with the hot water and towels, you use it to clean the wound. You dab the towel in the hot water mixed with alcohol from the first aid kit then press it on to the wound. You then wrap her stomach with the bandages, carefully, then nursing the wound on her forehead and bandaging it. The girl seemed to stay unconscious through all of it, laying peacefully on the futon now covered by a blanket.
"Is she going to be ok?" Shippou asks worriedly having been there watching the whole thing.
"She should be fine in the morning, right now she needs rest." You say blowing out candles and ushering Shippou out the room and sliding the door close behind you.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, she'll be fine, but you should get some rest." You say and Shippou nods, and then retires to his room down the hall. You then go to your room to get some sleep yourself. You then change into your bed clothes and lay on your futon about to fall asleep. Your last thought before drifting away is of Inuyasha.
