Chapter Four: Awakening and apologizing

Its never too late to apologize

Kagome walked into Lady Keade's hut with medicinal herbs stuffed in her hands and

heard a noise behind her and turned around.

The noise was coming from the girl lying on the floor.

'She's waking up' Kagome thought.

Kag watched as the girl groaned and sat up rubbing her eyes.

"Where am I?" the girl asked herself not realizing Kagome was sitting right next to her.

" I see you've finally come to." Kagome said announcing her presence.

The girl jumped up and turned around surprised.

" Who are you?" She asked eyeing Kagome. "And where are my weapons?"

Kagome pointed to the pile of weapons in the corner and introduced herself.

" I'm Kagome Higurashi!"

The girl Nodded and gathered her weapons.

" you know you shouldn't really be up and walking around just yet"

The girl shrugged and walked outside.

Kagome Sighed and followed.

The girl gazed at the rest of the group sitting around the fire eating lunch and talking to one another.

The group fell silent as the girl exited the tent with her bandages still covering wounds.

They searched frantically for something to say.

" uh... didn't take long for you to heal." Miroku said and continued, " I am Miroku the traveling monk, this is Sango, she's a demon slayer, this is Shippo." He said pointing at the small kitsune. " And that guy over there is Inuyasha."

The woman nodded and ,shockingly, did not squeal and hug Shippo or grab Inuyasha's ears. She simply sat down and stared at the fire.

She spoke with a voice that sounded emotionless and yet somehow managed to sound warm, " I am Tuoni."

"You were named after the Lady of the Southern Lands?" Sango asked.

Tuoni nodded. " in a way.."

Kagome became tired of the silence that followed the introductions and decided to speak, "Well now that we all know each other do you mind if we ask you some questions Tuoni?"

Tuoni nodded. "Ask all you want to. I cannot guarantee answers."

" What connection do you have to Naraku?" Inuyasha asked.

Tuoni stayed silent for a moment. "What does it matter to you?"

" We want to know because we are trying to defeat him." Inuyasha huffed.

Tuoni spoke again. " He destroyed my life."

"How?" The group was eager to know.

"I'll start from the beginning" Tuoni said with a cold laugh.

Flashback

A young Tuoni ,about eight years of age, sat crying behind some bushes watching, horrified, as her village was destroyed. She prayed and prayed that the demons wouldn't find her. But obviously her prayers weren't answered the way she had hoped. She watched as a wind demon with magenta eyes turned her head and sniffed. She wanted to run but knew that would be pointless. A girl her age could not out run a demon.

She gulped as the wind demon neared her and separated the bushes.

"Hello there girl. Come with me. Naraku may have some use for you." The woman grabbed Tuoni's wrists and drug her to the man called Naraku.

" well well what have we found here Kagura?" The man asked in a deep voice.

Naraku eyed Tuoni and tsk'd. "She isn't very strong is she? I suppose I could sell her as a slave."

Tuoni gasped and started to cry. "Please don't sell me as a slave mister!" She begged with tears pouring down her face.

"Stuff it hun" Kagura snapped as she prepared to sell Tuoni.

A few days later the deed was done. Tuoni had become a slave to a powerful demon named Zantetsu.

End of flashback

Tuoni finished her story and looked at the ground. " im sorry for attacking you guys before."

The group felt pity for her. Her past was depressing.

" Well" Kagome said silently conversing with the rest of the group with her eyes to make sure she had their approval. " I have a proposition for you..."
