Chaper 15: New beginnings

Yuriko hurt all over. It was as if the piercing arrow had spread tendrils of ache throughout every nerve ending and sense. Her head throbbed, and the sunlight burned her eyes as she blinked groggily. "Where am I?" She groaned out.

"Among those who wish to help you." Kagura's voice came through. "How are you feeling?"

"Like someone hit me with a wagon, horse and all." She grumbled, touching her forhead as she sat up.

"Lie back down." Swiftly she obeyed the commanding voice.

"Who are you?" She asked

"Kagura."

"Naraku wants you back."

The sorceress nodded slightly. "Yes. I assume he would."

Yuriko looked at her, silver eyes cool. "I'm free now, aren't I?"

"Yes."

" I need to go back."

Kagura was shocked. "You can't! He'll destroy you!"

"There's someone...."

Kagura understood. "We can free him together. Don't worry."

"Not all of us can go."

"Yes. We can. Do not doubt our strength."

"...."

"Travel with us and you will see."

"...."

At that moment Kagome walked in. Seeing as Yuriko was awake, she decided to ask a question: "How are you feeling?" She said softly, kneeling beside The injured woman's pallet.

Yuriko smiled at her compassion. "I'm feeling like crap, but i suppose it's better than feeling dead."

Kagome smiled at her. "Inuyasha wants to get going in a few days, think you'll be up to it?" Yuriko didn't miss that hopeful gleam in her eyes. She glanced at Kagura, who smiled encouragingly.

She relaxed onto her pillows. "Yeah, I'll be up to it." Her eyelids were growing heavy.

Kagome smiled. "Cool. I'll leave you alone to get your rest. Kagura will watch over you for now." She looked at the sorceress, who nodded, sitting prim and proper in her chair. "Relax, Kag. Don't be so stiff all the time."

Kagura smiled slightly and nodded, her muscles relaxing slightly. Kagome smiled in return, and exited the hut.

Days passed, and the gang was ready to head out. They were all eager to get going; spending so much time together really made them irritable...

Yuriko smiled shyly as she exited the hut, blinking in the sunlight. She really didn't know how to act around everyone, seeing as she had been trying to kill them only days ago. But most of the gang greeted her with warm, inviting smiles.

"Ready to go?" Sango asked, adjusting her boomerang.

She smiled softly. "Yeah."

"Let's go then." And everyone began the trek down the trail.
