Miroku didn't remember just quite how they managed to restrain Inuyasha, but it was proving its use now. The hanyou was beginning to wake up,. And kept muttering vague threats.
"do you think he'll remember?" asked Shippou.
"he's threatening someone, so he probably does." Responded Sango.
They sat in the camp, Inuyasha restrained, Miroku right by him, keeping an eye on his health, and Sango had just returned from getting spare bandages. She laid them by Miroku, and sat by him.
"The wound is deep. Ketsueki only let him bleed enough to knock him out, but the wound is deep" he said, as he unwound the bandages. He put the bloody bandages down beside him, and wound the New ones around the hanyou's body.
Inuyasha's eyes opened as soon The new bandages were on.
"where... is she?" he mumbled, trying to stand up. Miroku moved to stop him.
"you shouldn't move too much Inuyasha" he said. Inuyasha shrugged his arm off, and stood up painstakingly.
"I-I need to find Kagome... I have to" he said. Sango stood up and went to Inuyasha's side.
"slow down, Inuyasha. Miroku's right, your wounds haven't healed entirely" She said.
"I don't care. I need to get her away from that Vampire!" he responded,
"'scuse me for interruptin', but did somebody jus' say 'vampire'?" came a voice. The group spun around, to see a rather unusual sight.
Standing before them was a red-headed woman of about twenty. Her eyes were sharp jades. She was dressed in armor, the cuirass made of a leather-like black material. She wore only one shoulder pad, on the left side. Her boots were silver, as were her gloves. There were silver knives lining the legs of her pants, and a bow with silver arrows strapped to her back.
Inuyasha glared at her. "What do you want?" he spat.
"no need for yellin' , sirrah. Jus' heard a word that concerns me, that's all. Y'see, I hunt Vampires for a livin'." Said the Woman, approaching the group calmly.
"you hunt them?" repeated Miroku.
The woman nodded.
"The name's Willa, Willa Trenton. Who're you?" she asked. Miroku took the woman's outstretched hand.
"my name is Miroku. This is Sango, Shippou, and the hanyou is Inuyasha" he responded, gesturing to each of them in turn.
"you can't help us. You should leave now" said Inuyasha stubbornly. Willa smiled.
"now now, Inuyasha. Sounds like y' lost someone to a Vampire's charms. I can 'elp." she said.
"stay out of it" responded Inuyasha.
Miroku and Sango gestured for her to move away from Inuyasha,so they could talk separately.
"our friend Kagome was taken, and changed into one of them, by a man named Ketsueki" said Sango.
"Ketsueki, you say? Purple hair, tall..." Said Willa. They nodded.
"yes. Do you know of him?" asked Miroku.
"know of 'im? He killed m' family!" Willa said, clenching her fist. "tell me about 'er. This Kagome. How many night's was she with 'im, was there any romance of any sort, personality."
"she was with him no more than four nights, and she was a good person. She wouldn't ever dream of becoming a vampire, he had to have done something to her." Said Sango.
"as for romance, well... apparently, yes...:" said Miroku. The woman nodded, and reached for a pouch on the side of her quiver. Out of it, she drew four small, black necklaces. There was a small vial on them, filled with a red liquid obviously blood.
"'ere. Put these on. Don't take 'em off." Said Willa, calmly giving each of them one.
"what are they?"
"blood vials. Dhampire's blood. Wearin' it marks you as an exile, not a single vampire wit' a shred of honor'll attack you. Or come near you." She said, as she turned to the road once more.
"Wait! We don't know anything about you!" yelled Miroku.
"And y' don't need to!" she yelled back, with a toss of the hand.
If they could have seen her face, they would have noticed that her canines were sharper than most human's.
