War Isn't Whats Gunna Kill Me Pt. 3
Saiyo and the Shard of Black
They walked down a narrow dirt road silently. The young girl in the back looked to her traveling family... None of them looking back at her. She smiled and lifted her neaklace out of her kimono and studied it. It was beautiful, but she feared it. It was a Shikon Jewel shard, but it was black. She didn't under stand why she was so drawn by the uninviting... Hatered that surrounded it. She found it in the forest the night before... She also didn't understand why demons didn't sense it and pick it up, everyone wanted a shard. It's a great find, nowadays, to find a jewel shard just laying on the gound. She smiled at herself, hideing the jewel shard in her kimono again. She stoped when her father did.
"It's just about dark... Saiyo, you can get a fire started so we may feast." The girl nodded and did as she was told, parting from the group to gather wood. Her father turned to his son, "You can make sure your older sister is safe." Saiyo stoped right there. "But I am better with swords than he is! Father, I can take care of myseld... If anything, I would be making sure hes safe!" Her father looked at her. Since last night, Saiyo has been nothing but disrespectful to her family. He did not know why. He turned back to his son. "Mirko. You can keep guard of your mother, she should be give us another child soon." He looked to his wife... So beautiful... "I will be back. I'm going to get food. Sherubii, make sure Mirko and Saiyo don't fight, please." His wife nodded. The man started to walk twards the forest. "There might be demons..." Sherubii said. Her husband stopped and looked at her. "Be careful... Moko." She said, sitting down. The man nodded and headed for the forest again.
Saiyo began to cut low branches off trees with her sword. She had four larg peices at her side and was compleateing the fifth one. She stopped as the branch held its place with one last flab of bark. She pulled the jewel shard out of her kimono again. Her grip tightened on the handle of her sword in her right hand. She felt the sudden need to... Kill? Just by stareing at the shard, a deep echoing voice came in her head: "Kill... Kill your family. Pain them. Drink their blood. Kill your unborn sibling. Kill your father... Your mother... Your brother... Even kill your horse!" Just then, for a split second, she saw a visual of a man in a baboon suit.
Just then, Saiyo was pulled out of her thoughts by the sounds of rustling on the bushes. She hid her shard and turned to the bushes in a fighting stance. She closed her eyes and lowerd herself to the ground on her knees. The quickly, in a split second, she lunged for the bushes and cut the tops off of them. "Wait! Don't hurt me please!" She lowered her sword and looked at the interuption. "What are you?" She said, sheathing her sword. "I'm a fox demon." Said the creature. Saiyo placed her hand on the handle of the sword and smiled. "A demon, eh? I will rid the world of your kind!" She said, lifting the sword. "Stop!" She heard someone yell. Her sword was blocked by another. She looked at the woman. She had armor on. Saiyo stood agap at the woman. She sheathered her sword. "Your a demon slayer!" She said. "I've always wanted to meet one! I'm Saiyo!" She said. Song, sheathing her sword, looked at her with a confused look on her face. "I'm Sango... This is Shippo... Are you here alone?" Miroku came out of the bushes behind her. He looked at Sango, then Saiyo, then Shippo. "You look familar..." Sango said, pointing to Saiyo.
Saiyo shrugged, ripping the dangling branch of the tree. She gathered the wood she had already. "That should be enough..." She said looking at the pile in her arms. She looked to the three strangers. "Come with me, my father said we are haveing a feast... When he says that it usually means 'there is too much for us to eat'." The three folowed. "Kagome said she sensed a black jewel shard over this way..."
