Author's note to the readers! - I've decided to try something new. For each chapter, I will draw a sketch drawing of one important scene in that chapter. That way you can sorta see what I see in my mind when I'm writing it. I just figured it be interesting. I will post a link in my profile (since it won't let me put links in here for some reason) for every chapter ( Even the chapters before I decided to do this chapters 1-4). So from chapters 1 - whenever this story ends there will be a link in my profile for it and there will be adescription of the scene at the bottom ofthe chapter. I do warn that it is not going to be great drawings. In fact they will probably be poor quality fast, doodle sketches because if I spent too much time on drawing them the story would never get finished. This is just mainly to get an overall view of what is going on. Again I will post one sketch drawing per chapter ( or atleast try to) And I do recommend Reading the chapter first before looking at the sketch. That way you know what that scene was about. Thank you again and hope you enjoy the story. Review with good or bad… haha even if its to tell me I suck at drawing and should stop. Thanks again. Phew! that was a long note to my readers!

Chapter 5: The Sacred Arrow that Saved my guitar and me from the Wind

I jumped into the ditch once more and this time I didn't mind the falling. I was feeling excited. I wonder what the other guys are gonna say. Are they going to accept me? I hope so, I thought. Finally, I landed. I looked up and saw the full moon above the ditch.

"INU YASHA," I yelled hoping he would hear me again and help me out. No one came. "KAGOME, SANGO, MIROKU, SHIPPO! ANYONE!" Again no one came. Oh no, I thought, maybe they left! Or maybe they are just asleep in the hut!.. Well either way it looks like I have to get myself out of the ditch. Climbing the ditch on this side wasn't as hard for some reason as climbing the ditch in my world. I didn't even get a scratch this time. How odd, I thought. OH well, now time to head to the hut and surprise the others.

I walked down the path I remembered from before. "Kaede's hut is, I believe that, way" I said talking to myself. I just need to go through some more trees in the forest and I will be there. I walked and stopped when I saw a shadow in front of me. It looked like a woman with a kimono on but I couldn't see the face because it was so dark out.

"Sango is that you" I said walking closer to her. "I'm so glad to see you! Guess what I've decided to …" I stopped that wasn't sango.

"Ah you are Kagome, aren't you? Inuyasha's little pet" the woman said. "Well I am lucky to have found you all by yourself! Hahahahaha"

"Um.. Excuse me. Sorry but I'm not Kagome. Are you looking for her too? Who are you ?" I asked.

"Don't play fool with me girl! I won't fall for that little game. Your just trying to escape me, Kagura the wind goddess!" Kagura exclaimed. "I will bring you to Naraku to lure Inu Yasha. Now come here" she said as she came towards me.

I tried to run but it was no use. She was in front of me. She was as fast as the wind. I had no weapons on me. I did not know how to defend myself. The only thing I had to use to attack was my guitar. I unstrapped it from my back. I did not want to break it but it was the only thing I had to defend my self with. If I just swung it as hard as I could towards her head than that is all I would need to give me time to escape. But Kagura didn't seem to be a normal human being and I didn't know if it would harm her at all but I had to atleast try.

"Ha ha what is that you carry? Some strange weapon. Fool! Weapons can not hurt me!" Kagura said while displaying two fans. "DANCE OF BLADES!" She yelled as sharp blades came out of her fans. At that moment in time, I knew I was a goner. Time seemed to by in slow motion and all I could do was close my eyes and pray. I was so scared. I felt something deep inside me … like a force resonate out of me. I do not know what happened but when I opened my eyes, I was still alive. Not even one cut from the blades had reached me.

"WHAT IS THIS? How could a mere human guard themselves from my attack with a barrier!" Kagura said infuriated. She got prepared to attack me again but in that instant. I saw something fast in the corner of my eye. It was an arrow and it went through Kagura's shoulder.

"AHH!" Kagura yelled in pain. "You WENCH!" She said to a distant figure with a bow and another arrow pointed at Kagura. Kagura drew her attention on me once again. "You will not escape me that easily" she said while getting ontop of a huge feather. "You and I will cross paths once more" She said as she flew away.

I did not understand anything. Who was Kagura and why had she tried to attack me? And who saved me. The distant figure started to walk away.

"NO! Wait!" I said as I began to run towards the distant figure. The closer I got the more I could see her. She had red pants on and a white long sleeved shirt. She turned around. Was it kagome? No .. This person looked like Kagome and I but her presence was different. There were white dragons flying around her. This was a site to see, I thought as I stopped to admire the dragons.

"They are spirit collectors" she said as she noticed that I was awed by the dragons. "They collect souls of the dead to keep me alive."

"OH so your not Kagome, right?" I said. "Who are you?"

"I am Kikyou"

"OH! Thank you so much Kikyou! You really saved me back there!"

"Don't thank me. I was merely passing through this area and besides… You were able to protect yourself with a barrier. You are more powerful than you appear to be girl." Kikyo said.

"OH I don't know how I did that. I just felt something within myself explode out of me. It was the first time I had ever done something like that. You call it a barrier? But if it wasn't for you Kikyo! … Kagura would have tried to attack me again and I do not know if I could have done that again! Thank you!"

"I must go" Kikyo said dismissing my thanks. "Head over to my sister kaede's house. She should give u the answers you are searching for."

"Ok thanks but how come Kagome, you , and I all look the same?" I asked.

She didn't answer and kept walking into the forest. What a strange girl, I thought. I headed off towards kaede's house. I looked back to see if I could still see Kikyou. She had disappeared. All I could see now were those white dragons flying around in the night sky.
