The town started to go to the pillar they placed gold food Jules and many other things her family brought 3 baskets of wheat 1 for me and 1 for kayo and 1 for good luck. Kayo and I went forward to where the 18-20 year old were.Sakura and Kara went when they were 18. Sakura job was an artist and Kara was a weaver the wise woman chooses who had jobs or tasks.
The first person was monaki joso he had a speech of how he was born and how proud he must be to have come in to the world because he barley made it out of his mother he was given the job child protector he would watch the newborn children. Next was Sango Mistumoto her speech was about how wonderful she had been on her first weapon and was given a big boomerang it was made of bone she had been given the name apprentice. Kayo maskiton was next what happened was shocking nobody expected it she was given the name bonder a few gasps and whispers pasted through the crowd everyone knew what that meant it meant she was a whore! The rest of the session was almost done kagome heard nothing else she was in too much shock to hear anything,
She heard her name kagome maskiton. she slowly walked up to the wise woman her steps calm and slow tempo when she reached the wise woman she went down on her knees her stomach suddenly had butterflies and wiggles. The wise woman spoke of when they found her in the woods she started "today I have the privilege to talk about when her father found her she was 4 years of age, the hunters in that valley took care of her they showed her how to set up traps and shoot when the hunters were killed by a bear demon when she turned 6. She lived in the woods for 7 months we also know on that night dano maskiton was outside trying to catch food for everyone because of the horrible drought the food was scarce, and no one in this village knew how to hunt everywhere there was animals but there were no weapons or skilled fighters, as you know dano went out in search of food suddenly he heard a twig snap he started running before long he was lost" the wise woman cough a little and started again "dano was suddenly attacked by the forest tigers a person was suddenly in front of him dano was about to yell get away the tiger pounced. Dano suddenly closed his eyes waiting to the killed but the pain never came when he opened his eyes she had killed it, but she was wounded quite bad she fell from lack of blood dano took her back to the village the village ate the tiger but the girl slept for 3 days on the third day when dano came in he saw her looking at the bamboo mat. He laughed and smiled and said your new name is kagome" the wise woman had to stop and drink some water from a jug "kagome was hunting for us and we had plenty of food but dano died and kagome had no where to go mayo maskiton took her in she was 8 years of age and in 2 weeks and started living with them"
she stopped and said "kagome you and Sango are free to go" sit back down the rest of the ceremony was finishing with a grand feast. But kagome and sango went to pack when she went home she was given a beautiful kimono from Kara, it was white with black on the sleeves and bottom in the middle was a ying and yang and 2 dragons 1 on each side. Her father gave her a sack of money, her mother gave her a book of spells and medicines sakura gave her a paint tools and many paints. When she came to kayo she got a small jule it was a round pearl like thing but it glowed with power and a slight pinkish glow kayo smiled all she said was "make us proud". She went to her room and put on all her weapons and books clothes and money she left after saying good-bye to her village sango took 10 minutes longer than her. she had a fighter outfit on and some bags they started to go east and soon the silence was killing both of them kagome heard a slight whimper from behind what shocked her was sango was crying she stopped for a little wile and went back to confer her she just cried and sango was able to choke out was "why… me ….why me………………".
Sango pov.
When the ceremony was done I went strait home not able to understand why she wasn't leader but an apprentice. that kagome person was just because she could hunt!. When I was done packing I held 5 bags, 2 bags filled with clothes and some bath stuff, the other 2 were filled with more clothes shoes, the last bag was filled with some food and pots and pans. When I came out of my room my mom came up and gave me some predacious Jules dad came up and gave me gold my younger brother came up and held a small gift a small little pink flower on rice paper on the bottom it said "I love you". A tear fell from my eye I hugged my brother to me when I let go his face was pink and he blushed more. I quickly went to the entrance of the town and what shocked me was that she had 1 bag with all her stuff. She had a massive sword on her back and some daggers and a thin wire like whip she left with out a word. I wondered if she were mute the whole way I was trying to get her to talk she would not say any thing. Suddenly I broke down crying and crying she stopped and patted for a little my back and, she set up camp and cook some food. I wondered how she got the food well she settled down and fell asleep. I quickly ate the food and fell as well.
