Ok, here's the next chapter. I'm bored and I can't walk around that much, seeing as it hurts to, so I'm gonna update this story. And see what else I can work on before I get tired of this and just go ahead and go to sleep or something....
(chapter 17: Arriving in town)
Kila studied them for a few moments, in a daze, then sat blot upright.
"HOLY SHIT!!!!"
As soon as she heard Kila's scream, Shadow, who had been sitting in a tree, promptly fell out and landed on her back. She scrambled up and ran towards Kila's scream and found that Jess was WAY ahead of her.
"KILA! What's wrong?!" Jess asked, kneeling next to Kila, who was staring at the stars.
"We're in Krynn...." Kila eyes were wide as she looked up at the stars. "This CANNOT be good!!"
"What? What's wrong with being in wherever-the-heck-you-said?" Shadow asked, looking at Kila.
"We are NOT anywhere near New Tokyo... However, we should be close to another town... I just don't know the name... All I know is that we have to be cautious here," Kila said, looking at them. Her eyes were full of seriousness, and the two older trainers could tell that she was dead serious when she said that.
"All right. Do you want to move now, or later?" Shadow asked, smiling a tiny bit.
"We'll wait until morning, but then we have to get to the town as quick as possible. I REALLY don't want to run into any draconians!" Kila said, shivering a bit.
Jess nodded, gave Kila one final glance, then returned to camp. Shadow went over to her sleeping bag, looking back at Kila, who was still looking at the stars with a slightly confused look on her face.
'Man... If we run into draconians, we are SO screwed...' Kila thought, trailing off. She knew about the draconians, and thought that the best way to get rid of them would be to either send out people who could shoot them, kill them with ki blasts, or people who had LOTS of extra swords...
Kila sighed and decided to go to sleep. She walked slowly back over to her sleeping bag and sat down, then lay down and went to sleep.
She had troubled dreams that night. They were of draconians killing her friends and herself. She woke up in a cold sweat, and, looking around, saw that no one else was up.
She got up and packed up all her stuff, deciding to go ahead a little bit. She walked to the trail and started down it, whistling softly to herself.
Suddenly, she stopped, looking ahead of her. She heard footsteps coming closer. She ran back to her camp, thanking the bushes that got in the way of directly seeing the road. She saw a Tanis, a Flint, and a Tasslehoff.
She smiled as she saw Flint and Tasslehoff bickering, then chuckled a bit as Tanis sighed. Just then, Tanis's head snapped in her direction and Kila mentally cursed Tanis's Elven sight as he called, "Come out, I know you're there!"
Kila sighed as she came out, muttering, "Why me...?" "Ok, now you know I am here. I am a trainer, you are bishies, nice to meet you, good-bye," Kila said, starting to walk away.
Tanis stood right behind her with his sword drawn slightly, a challenge. Kila sighed. 'I should have known it wouldn't be so easy...' Kila thought.
"Who are you and why are you here?" Tanis asked, giving Tas a sharp glare as he started to walk forward.
"My name is Kila, and I was just traveling through here with a few of my companions. There is no reason to assault us, Tanis. Now, if you'll let me be on my way, I'll go wake my lazy companions."
Tanis looked at Kila suspiciously, then gave her a small nod and looked at Tas.
"Tas, if you wouldn't mind, I'd like my dagger back," Kila said, chuckling.
Tas handed her the dagger and Tanis then dragged him along, Flint giving Kila a small smile, then walking along after them.
Kila sighed and shook her head a bit, walking back to camp. She looked around and found that only Jess and the majority of the bishies were up. She sighed and sweatdropped, then told the bishies to get their trainers up so they could go.
She went over to make sure all her bishies were up, then helped rouse the sleepy trainers and remaining bishies.
After everything was packed up, Kila started towards the road, finding nothing in their path that she could see both ways.
"All right. If anyone sees a draconian, or anything that looks like a cross between a lizard and a human, yell and run for your life. One person AT LEAST should see or hear you, and then we can deal with the draco's," Kila said, giving everyone a small smile.
Jess chuckled a bit with everyone else. Kila walked forward and lead the group towards the nearest town, thinking as she went.
Hiei walked next to her on one side, while Yoko walked on the other. Rei was chatting with Shadow, and Battosai was at the back, looking behind them everyone once in a while.
After a few hours of walking, Kila allowed them to stop for a break for lunch, seeing as they had all gotten up late. They were just about to leave again when they heard the sounds of a battle.
Kila raced towards the sound, Hiei and Yoko right behind her. She stopped on the outskirts of a clearing, looking upon the battle.
There were a three draconians dead on the ground, their stone bodies laying in odd positions, and two more fighting a man wearing a black trenchcoat covered by a black cloak with a katana in one hand and a gun in the other. He also had a thick ponytail of chocolate-brown hair with auburn highlights to his butt.
He had a Neo, a Sailor Moon, a Sailor Saturn, and an Elladan. They were all out and fighting two other draconians. Kila saw one last draconian try to sneak up behind the man and cut off it's head in the blink of an eye. She then shoved her sword through the heart of another that the man had been fighting while he shot the last on in the head.
Kila quickly yanked her sword out of the body before it turned to stone. She looked up at the man, smiled a tiny bit, and then sheathed her sword and was about to leave until she felt something grab her wrist.
She whirled around and saw the man looking at her oddly.
"WHAT?!" Kila asked, getting slightly ticked off.
The man snorted a bit then turned and looked at his bishies, who had just finished off the last draconian.
"Why did you help me?" the man asked, looking Kila in the eye.
Kila shrugged. "Because I don't like draconians and I felt like helping a fellow trainer," Kila said easily.
"My name's Brett. I didn't quite catch yours..." the man trailed off.
Kila snorted. "Kila Maho. Nice to meet ya."
"Kila, eh? I think I've heard of you..." Brett said, giving her a small smile.
"Whatever..." Kila said, rolling her eyes. "Where are you headed?"
Brett shrugged. "Nowhere in particular."
"You can come with us if you want."
"WHAT?!" Jess yelped, having just come up behind them.
"Too bad if you don't like it Jess. He's a lone trainer, and draconians are not fun to mess with unless you know what to do," Kila said, shooting a small glare Jess's way.
Jess grumbled a bit, then sighed, nodded, and shook her head a little bit.
Brett nodded. "All right, I'll travel with you guys for a little while."
"Ok." Kila gave him a small grin, looked at the dead draconians, then turned on her heel and left the clearing to go back to the rest of the trainers.
For a while after that, Brett stayed in the back of the group, talking occasionally with Kila's Battosai. Kila did NOT want to know what they were talking about.
After a few more hours, Kila looked around and saw that it was getting dark. The fresh, crisp cold air felt good to her and she took a deep breath, still not used to the countryside.
Jess, who was behind Kila, sniggered a bit at Kila's actions. Her Shin rolled his eyes and shook his head, muttering about "baka trainers."
Kila chuckled, then looked ahead of them to see the shadowy forms of draconians on the road in front of them.
"Kuso!" Kila cursed, looking back at the others. "Hiei, tell the others to either hide or get some light so we can see. We've got company."
Hiei nodded and disappeared, telling the others to get some sort of light so they could fight.
Kila drew her sword silently and started towards the closest draconian. It fell silently, the black blood dripping off Kila's sword. She attacked a few of the others, not acting like her normal self.
Brett and Jess also jumped into the fight, Brett using his sword and Jess her rapier.
Soon, stone bodies of the draconians were littered on the ground. Kila eyes had a slightly red tinge to them, and she looked... ...different.
Brett shook her a bit and Kila shook her head, her eyes going back to normal. She smiled at him, then walked over to where the others were, saying that she thought there would be as good a place as any to stop for dinner, then sleep.
Brett snorted a bit, sitting in a tree and eating his dinner by himself, away from the fire.
Kila, also, sat in a tree to think, not even touching the little bit of food that she had gotten for herself.
'Man, this is screwed up. We have to fight draconians, find our way to a town that's nowhere near where we originally intended to go, and we have a new member to the "group" that barely ever talks. He seems to like to fight, though...' Kila thought to herself.
She sighed and put her plate down with the other dishes, watching Rei and Sailor Saturn do the dishes.
Kila's eyes started to close as she thought about what was going on with her life.
She soon fell asleep, her friends' talking in the background.
The next morning, Kila woke up around 5 in the morning, she guessed by the sun. She saw that Brett was up, but wasn't walking around.
Kila jumped silently from her tree and walked around a bit, watching her friends and looking around the woods. She noticed, on her dex's map, that they were getting close to the town. Kila sighed in relief.
Shadow looked over her shoulder at her dex and noted, "We're getting close to the town."
Kila nodded. She had been aware that Shadow had been awake for a whole of ten minutes. She looked over her shoulder at Shadow and smiled.
Just then, Brett walked up and peered at the dex, looking at the map upside- down. "Where are we going?" He asked, looking at Kila, who sighed.
"We're going to that little town right there and staying there for a few days, then we're gonna head out again. Don't ask where; I don't know where we're going and when. All I know is that we're gonna stay in that little town for two or three days."
Brett nodded and looked at Kila for a few moments before turning away. She looked at him oddly for another moment, then looked around at her companions.
Just about everyone else was asleep. Jess looked like she was going to be getting up soon, as she was waking up, and Toca was just waking up. He sat up and looked around blearily.
"Morning, Toca," Kila said, grinning at him.
"Morning," Toca said, yawning.
Brett smiled a bit and turned away, while Shadow went over to wake up Jess. Kila sighed: She was bored. There was no other way to say it. She. Was. BORED.
Brett looked over at Kila again and saw that she had a bored look on her face. He snorted a bit and looked over at his bishies.
Kila pulled out a CD player and put a CD in. She turned to a song and started to hum softly with it. Then, after a minute or so, she started to sing with it.
"We've got nothin', got nothin' in common, but nothin' in common, we're sorry to state. The roads we travel, the large laughs with Lamour. (can't spell it... sorry!!) Those days are over. Now wait a minute, Dad, don't be so sure. That's right. TV's won 'em. They're gonna re-run 'em. Ouch. We'll look like the Bobsy twins. I'm gonna shun 'em, they'll be on too late! Yeah, you'll have your shawl and your ovaltine by then," Kila sang, smiling and chuckling a bit. "The road pics, were such kicks, but let's nix, any encores. 'Cause outside of still looking youthful and cute, and outside of stealing all that Paramount loot. We grabbed a bundle. What bandits! We got nothin' in common at all!" Kila laughed a bit and then just hummed. (The first person to get the song and the people who sang it right gets pocky!!!)
Hiei, Yoko, and Battosai looked at Kila oddly, while Shadow just chuckled. Brett smiled and chuckled, while Toca looked a little lost.
After another part in one of the other songs, Kila laughed out loud, causing everyone to look at her oddly. She just smiled a bit and waved her hand. "CD," she said, as if that explained everything.
Brett grinned and shook his head a bit. Jess sweatdropped with Shadow, Maria, and Jade. Toca just sighed.
Kila was listening to the same CD for a few hours as they traveled the rest of the way to the small town.
As soon as they entered, they saw trainers all around a few posters.
Kila managed to get through the small crowd, covering her ears, and read the poster quickly.
She quickly ran back to her friends, bumping into a few trainers and a bishie, an Inu-Yasha, actually.
"So? What'd it say?" Jess asked.
"There's a small tournament in a few days. If anyone wants to enter, then you have to go to the registration place, over by Orientation building," Kila said, uncovering her ears. "And, if you guys don't mind, I'm gonna go buy some ear plugs so I don't go deaf over the next few days..." Kila trailed off and went over to a shop, restocking on anything she needed, getting a few daggers and some ear plugs while she was at it.
She met back with the group at a hotel that they were staying at. Brett shared a room with Toca, Jade and Maria shared one, Jess and Learan shared one, and Kila had her own.
After putting everything extra in their rooms, the group went downstairs and went outside.
Jess, Jade, Maria, Toca, and Learan went to check out the poster while Kila and Brett went to one of the quieter parts of the town.
Just then, a trainer bumped into Kila, walking off in a hurry. Kila glanced irritably over her shoulder at the guy, and Brett sent a small glare after the guy, but he paid no heed to them.
Kila wandered ahead of Brett and saw a trainer fight going on. She watched from a tree and saw that one of them, a girl about Jess's age, was winning against a seeminly-new trainer, a young boy.
After the girl won, she smirked at the boy and her Naraku was about to attack the boy until Kila got in the way. She was standing in front of the boy, her sword drawn and her eyes narrowed.
"I don't like trainers who pick and people who are younger than themselves, especially after the younger has just lost a battle. I suggest you leave him alone unless you want to be hurt," Kila said, growling a little bit, her eyes getting that reddish tint again.
The girl looked at Kila's eyes, and her own went wide. She returned her Naraku and fled the scene. Kila helped the boy to his feet and asked if he was ok, her eyes softening when they fell on him.
The boy nodded and Kila sent him on his way, smiling as he waved at her. She gave him a small wave in return and felt someone put their hand on her shoulder.
She looked over her shoulder and saw Brett grinning at her.
"You have a soft spot for kids, eh?" Brett teased, grinning at Kila.
"I just don't like to see them get picked on, like I was. I never liked it and I'm guessing that no one does. So I just stop a few people from teasing others, even if for only a day, then it means that one less kid has to go through what I dealt with every day of my life for a long time," Kila said coldly, glaring at Brett and walking away from him.
'I wonder what got to her...? And what did she mean, 'what I dealt with every day of my life for a long time'? That was weird. Oh, well. I'll ask Jess if she knows anything special about Kila that maybe got on her nerves...' Brett thought with a shrug.

Ok, hope you all liked it. I'm gonna go to bed now. G'night!
Kitsune-chan
