Chapter one: Mysteries

Our gang was traveling up a trail, Kagome had exclaimed earlier that morning, she had sensed a shard. So of course, everyone was excited.

Shippou, on Kagome's shoulders, stretched and yawned.

"Aww kagome, are we getting any closer to the shard?" He said rubbing his eyes.

"Little by little we are, sleep on my shoulder if you want too." She kindly suggested, smiling at her 'adopted son.'

"That'll be nice." he said tiredly, and curled himself under Kagome's jet-black hair.

"Such a fine afternoon!" Miroku exclaimed "everything is at peace, everything is in perfect harmony!" he sighed dreamily

SLAP

"Keep your perfect harmony to yourself, perfect harmony, yeah right..." Sango breathed irritated

Miroku was left with a good red print of Sango's hand on his face.

"I see how you feel my dear Sango." replied

'Literally' he smiled.

"Hmmph." Inuyasha breathed irritably

"Miroku, would ya just shuddup!" Inuyasha snapped

Miroku was going to reply, but Inuyasha stopped at a fork, one leading to the village, and the other leading to where Kagome had sensed the jewel shard.

Inuyasha suddenly took the path to the village, weird... Why was he going this way, wasn't their quest to seek the shards of the Skikon jewel?

"Inuyasha!" Kagome called confused.

"I sensed the shard the other way!" she resumed.

"Keh, and I'm walking this way wench '" he snapped at Kagome

"Inuyasha! Why are you being such a jerk? I didn't even do anything!" she snapped back

"Yeah except for being annoying!" he called

oh no here it comes...

"Annoying?" she fumed

here it comes...

" keh, Yeah that's what I said wench!" he answered

oh,... it's so close...

"You're such a jerk!" she exclaimed

"Fine, bi..."

It's almost here...

"Inuyasha, I'm warning you!" Kagome threatened

"Tch" he smirked

she looked down, her eyebrow was twitching from anger, she had done nothing! He was going to pay... this was the last straw

"Inuyasha.." she said sweetly, still looking down

it's here...

"OSUWARI" she yelled

The spell activated in his 'collar' and he was sent, face down into the trail...

"Y...ou...a...re...go...ing...t.oo...w...ish...y...ou...ne...ver...di...d...th...at..." he sneered, trying to lift his head off the ground... he was having a difficult time.

'Baka' Kagome thought as she stepped over his still activated body. Growling at her as she did.

Kaede was sweeping outside her hut, admiring the beauty of the fall... She enjoyed the beautiful colors of the leaves. They seemed to hypnotize her, the sweet aroma filled her nose and mind. Feeling the good natural high... ahhhhh what a beautiful day.

"Ugh!" Kaede heard her 'adopted granddaughter's' frustrated sigh. She saw come around the bend of the rode, obviously in a bad mood.

'Oh Inuyasha child, what of ye done this time to your love?' she thought sadly

It was true, she thought Kagome and Inuyasha as 'lovers in denial', soon to grow into 'true lovers' Kaede sighed, rehearsing in her mind on how to comfort the child, to get her settled down. Perhaps she needed a talk with Inuyasha.

"Ah child, come back have ye." sounding as cheerful as she could. Kagome stopped and smiled at Kaede, but she could see, and sense the frustration in her 'forced smile'

"Yeah..." Kagome sighed

"Inuyasha?" she asked

"Again." Kagome answered, "I see, child, head into the hut, have yourself to some lunch." she put a hand on her back to ease Kagome inside. Kaede had plans to stay outside, and talk to Inuyasha.

Miroku and Sango came a couple of minutes later, also telling them "help yourself to the stew."

When Inuyasha finally came along the path, she called out to him, but before she could say anything else, he called to her. "Kaede," he announced "I think we need to talk."

"What ills ye child?" she asked concerned, sitting on a chair by her garden, as Inuyasha sat on her fence.

"A youkai..." he muttered irritated.

"A youkai? Is this why ye are in such a foul mood?" she asked. Inuyasha fidgeted, looking uncomfortable, was the problem that frustrating to him?

"Sort of" he answered "The youkai seemed to know everything I was about to do, his youkai powers are beyond of what I've seen." he looked dazed, deep in thought, like she didn't even exist.

"I see, and what kind of youkai was this" she asked interested "I'm not sure, his scent was almost like, it didn't exist, It was only a faint scent. I've never smelt something like that before, of death... but alive..." he said frustrated

"Is that why ye and Kagome are feuding?" hoping to get to the bottom of this. "No, Kaede, I think it knew who you were, the youkai mentioned to saw hello to an old hag." he muttered, looking at her.

"Ah, but there are so many 'old hags'." she assured him. "That's not all, he also called the 'old hag', the 'old priestess',"he explained, getting more frustrated.

"Aye, if this youkai has come to you, it only means trouble. Come with me my child." She said kindly. She stood up to walk and looked at him, telling him that was his que to follow. He hopped off the fence to follow the 'old priestess.'

She walked into an old shed, it smelt musty and foul, rotting wood, and age. She stopped in the middled of the floor, bent down, and removed some wood, to find a secret cubby. She put her hand into it, feeling for what she was looking for. Inuyasha the whole time, was staring impatiently.

"aye, here it is" she exclaimed, as she lifted an old, book.

"Read this is ye want to find more about this youkai, keep this book safe with ye at all times, if to get into the wrong hands, it can only mean a total catastrophe." she warned handing him the book.

"Sure smells funny, what is it?" he asked

"An old book, kept a secret for a reason." she answered "spells, secrets, prophecies, and evil comes with this book, don't get too involved in this book! It is said to drive ye mad." she warned him again

He simply nodded. Obviously, she did not know about the youkai, maybe the book would.

For the rest of the day and into late evening, he sat in the Sacred tree reading the chants, which he couldn't understand. But it was as if the book was sucking him to read more. His head spun, he almost forgot his own existence. All of his senses seemed to stop working, just to ead the book. His eyes were drying out from staring at the pages. It called to him, in chants, in his head...

What was this book?


V.Y.: this was a pretty short chapter. Later ones should get longer. I have just about the whole story in my head. Ready for me to write, The reason for such a short chapter is because, I dont want to give away anything good. I want you to almost scream to find out what happens next. I hope you will review, so I can see how many people are reading my fictions. So please R&R, forme. AND dont be afraid to ask me questions! I will try to answer your question(s) as best as I can. (dont ask about endings) Although, if you ask about a chapter and it confuses you, I would love to know! I don't want to write something and confuse my readers.
SNEAK PREVIEW OF NEXT FICTION: If a friends changes, if a friend dies, would you still love them? Inuyasha, and the gang will go through the un-thinkable. And how will they survive? Kagme and Inuyasha will be given the ultimate test, will they fail? or succeed? R&R


NEXT TIME ON KAISI: Inuyasha will be confronted with a different youkai. One he doesn't care for much...
WORD TRANSLATION: I thought it would be nice if I put words that you might not know. I have a bunch of words, it would take me too long to translate them all for you, so I'll just do bit by bit. I got most of these from a friend who is obsessed with anime.

Kaisi

Haunt

The more you wish and cry,

The more you wish you would die,

There aren't many things that can console

These feelings inside you wish you could control

There are too many sorrow feelings ahead

That make you scream at the taunting voices in your head

The haunting in your mind is eating at your spirit

A hand is trying to reach you but you are too numb, to feel it
