Chapter Three: Eavesdropping:
It was the voices that woke Inu-Yasha from his sleep. He hadn't trusted those two. Kagome thought that they were wonderful though.
The girl had constantly glared at him. She had seemed to like Kagome though. The boy had appeared to be fascinated with Sango and Miroku. He had asked them about being a Demon Exterminator and a monk.
Both the children hadn't talked about themselves. They had acted wary and avoided all personal questions; it was almost as if they were hiding something.
He then heard the voices that had woken him. It sounded as if the two children were arguing about something.
"How dare the monk suspect us of being one of Naraku's offspring" Aisha snapped.
"Aisha, calm down" Haku said soothingly "or else we'll be heard, and he didn't mean it that way; they're just careful."
"Don't you dare protect him" Aisha protested, but more quietly this time "you know how much I hate Naraku and his children. They killed our parents. I'm going to kill him."
"Well, we have proof. You're mother depended on your father for everything."
"No she didn't, they're all lies. And anyways, my parents loved each other. I know it."
"Aisha, I'm also dealing with disappointments" Haku said dryly "and remember that we aren't supposed to talk about that."
"I guess I'm overreacting. I'm just really tired. I've gotten into the habit of being too afraid to sleep. Do you think that he understands?"
"I'm sure he does. Why don't you rest, I'll keep watch; I sure that we'll have lots of fun tomorrow. We can do things that we normally can't."
"You're right. Do you think that we can stop them from making the mistake?"
"Definitely, but not if we don't sleep. And if we don't, we'll try again. Now go to sleep"
Aisha yawned "good idea. 'Night Haku"
Later during the night, Inu-Yasha was still awake. As he lay there, he wondered about what he had heard. Who were Aisha and Haku really? What was the mistake they were
trying to keep from being made? And what were they trying so hard to hide?
