Sango, Miroku, and Mazuki were all clothed and went out battling the snow to find the demons with the crystals. The snow bit them and stung thier eyes. Mazuki pulled the crystal up to her eyes and pointed it at several directions to see where it brightly glowed. They walked a couple of feet when they heard someone sneeze. Kagome, Inuyasha, Naori, Kenta, and Shippo walked over the hill and saw them.
"Sango! Miroku! Mazuki!" Kagome ran to them. She was wearing blue jeans and a sweater.
Inuyasha and Naori were back to normal. They walked up to them,"The crystals are pointing to the lake,"said Naori.
"Well lets head there then." Mazuki led the way with Kenta holding her strap at her waist. They walked through the trees until they heard voices.
"We'll freeze the entire land and have the villagers bow down to us or else will perish!"said a man.
"Oh, Kuro! Since we have found these jewels we are the most powerful beings!" Came a female voice. The wind picked up as they inched closer. Naori sniffed the air, but couldn't smell the scent of demons. Could they be human?
When they saw them, they were indeed human because they didn't know they were there until they were ten feet away.
"Who are you and why have you come to disturb us!"cried out the male, Kuro.
"We came to take those crystals you have so hand them over or this will get personal." threatened Naori.
The twins laughed at her. "Well if it's a match you want, then a match you'll get!" The woman threw her hands up and wind blew Naori back. Kuro made freezing water turn into a giant icicle and threw it at her. Naori gasped, but Inuyasha smashed it. Sango sent her boomerang at them.
"Nayami look out!"cried Kuro. Nayami forced the boomerang back with a gust of wind and it now came at Sango. Mazuki jumped in the way and blocked the attack with her own hiraikotsu. Inuyasha took out Tetsaiga and slashed at the falling icicles that were made by Kuro. Shippo and Kenta were hiding in the bushes. Naori got up and slashed Nayami across the face.
"Why you little-"she made Naori fly straight up and fall to the ground, but she landed on her feet and charged at her. Nayami stuck her hands out and instead of the blowing her away, it was blowing her in like a vaccume.
Miroku jumped in the way and pulled off his rosary,"Wind tunnel!" Both winds fought eachother to see who was stronger. Mazuki saw her chance. While Nayami was battling Miroku she ran up and snatched the orb around her waist.
"No! My jewel!" Miroku covered his hand and saw Mazuki with the crystal. Kuro also saw her with the crystal and sent an icicle at her. Miroku jumped in the way of the icy dagger and was stabbed in the shoulder. He cringed in pain as blood melted the white snow.
"Miroku!" Sango shouted. She then used her boomerang and threw it at Kuro who dodged it. Inuyasha clawed at him and scratched his chest and loosening the orb around his waist. The orb fell in slow motion, but he was too quick and snatched it. Kuro ran to his sister and the snow made them disappear.
"Damn, he got away!"Inuyasha cursed.
"Well we still got the Wind Crystal,"said Naori and the light came once again.
It was the next day and it was no longer snowing. They had put the orb back in it's rightful place at the tablet and were back on Earth. Miroku was bandaged up by Sango and he was doing fine. Mazuki was next to him.
"Miroku, can I see your hand?" she asked him. He showed her his right hand with the cloth and prayer beads over the wind tunnel."How did you do that yesterday?"
"Do what?"
"Create wind like that? How were you able to do that?"
Miroku blinked. "You mean you don't know about my wind tunnel?" Mazuki shook her head. He turned to Sango,"I guess we know that we'll destroy Naraku." He explained about the curse passed through his family and the only way to stop it was to destroy a demon named Naraku.
"But my father doesn't have the wind tunnel, I guess that means that you do defeat that Naraku guy." Mazuki studied his hand.
"Come on let's get going,"said Inuyasha, and the journey was on once again.
A couple of hours passed and the gang built a fire and decided to rest for the night. Sango and Kagome were taking a bath and Mazuki was braiding Naori's hair, Shippo and Kenta were playing with one of his tops and Miroku and Inuyasha were just resting and feeding the fire. It was a peaceful night with crickets quietly chirping and soft,warm breezes passed by. Naori and Mazuki had thier bath next, but went to explore until it was thier turn.
"Be careful out there,"said Miroku. They gave him the thumbs up sign and took off. They climbed the trees and stopped at one of the creeks where tadpoles were swimming. They poked at the water worms until a leech stuck itself on Naori's foot and she screamed. Inuyasha and Miroku were there in a second.
"What's the matter? What happened?" Inuyasha said as he jumped in the scene.
"Ew, get it off! Get it off!"said Naori jumping on one foot. Inuyasha rolled his eyes and pulled off the leech and threw it in the water.
"You're a half demon and you're still afraid of worms?" Inuyasha crossed his arms.
"I'm not afraid of them, they just feel wierd and I don't like touching them," said Naori with her nose scrunched up.
"Is everything okay over there?" Sango and Kagome entered the scene.
"Yeah, they just had a leech on them,"said Miroku.
"A leech!" Kagome and Sango jumped out of the water.
"What's the matter, you're not afraid of a few worms are you?"said Inuyasha teasingly. He splashed Kagome with water.
"Stop that Inuyasha,"she also threw water at him. Soon everyone was splashing eachother and laughing. Mazuki and Naori pulled eachother down into the water. Shippo and Kenta also joined the excitement and jumped and splashed around. Inuyasha grabbed Kagome and pushed her under the water. She got up, soaked and tackled him down. Miroku grabbed Sango by the waist and they both fell in. Naori was doing a handstand in the water and Mazuki was playing a game with Kenta called toss the baby, and he laughed everytime she would throw him in the water. They had played for several hours until they thought it was time to get out.
They went back to camp and Kagome got them some clothes to wear so thier wet ones would dry. Miroku and Inuyasha had robes on and shippo was wearing a baby shirt since it was the only thing that would fit him. Mazuki, Naori, and Sango changed into blue jeans and tank tops and Kagome had on a skirt and a sweater. They ate some fish they caught and laid down to sleep. They talked and laughed until they were too tired and sleep over took them.
Naori wasn't asleep though. She went outside in the cooling air and sat down on a large rock. She smiled at the sky, remember today's events and the events before. Naori was always the type of person to really lock in sweet memories. After about fifteen minutes she went back to camp and fell asleep next to Kenta who was next to Shippo. Kagome and Sango were asleep in the middle and Inuyasha and Miroku had thier usual corners and Mazuki was beside them on the floor. The wind blew gently blew across thier face, covering thier faces in thier own hair.
"You mean that there might be an evil spirit posessing my house?"asked the old man. They came across a village and Miroku did his usual bit to get a place to stay and a free meal.
"Why yes, I could sense the dark cloud gathering in, I shall exorcise it at once with no cost,"he pretended to turn to fight it, but was stopped by the elder as planned.
"Wait young monk, I shall see to it that you spend the night and eat with us, you and your comrads."
"Well I do not wish to be a burden." Inuyasha rolled his eyes. How could this guy not see it was an act?
"I insist, I need some way to thank you for getting rid of the demon."
"Well, since you insist." They went around the lord's castle and Miroku did fake incantations and put up "magical scrolls." They were invited to dinner and they ate peacefully.
Soon it was off to bed. Inuyasha, Miroku, and Shippo had thier room; Naori, Kenta, and Mazuki had thiers; and so did Sango and Kagome.
Naori and Mazuki were whispering while Kenta slept beside them.
"Do you think that we have altered the future?" asked Mazuki.
Naori shrugged her shoulders,"We're still here. Don't worry about it, I know Inuyasha loves Kagome, I saw them kissing."
Mazuki giggled,"I saw Sango and Miroku kissing too!"
"Maybe if they didn't meet us, they would have never thought of doing that. Maybe we brought them together, our parents."
"I guess, You want to look around the village?"
"Sure," They got up and walked out into the back part of the castle. They walked along the empty road looking at all the huts."This place is creepy at night."
"That's because you're not used to it,"said Mazuki.
They walked along until they heard voices and curiosity got the better of them.
"You let demons into my village?" Yelled a man, there was a sound of someone being slapped.
"But my lord, they have exorcised a demon from our midst and it is only right to give them food and shelter for the night,"said the old man that they had encountered earlier.
"The only demons here are the ones that you have brought in! I want them executed at once!"
Naori gasped and Mazuki covered her mouth so the gasp wouldn't be heard. They didn't seem to realize that there were two girls spying on them.
"Yes my lord." Naori and Mazuki sneaked to the back of a hut.
"Now what do we do?" Naori whispered.
"We need to tell the others and get out of here,"Mazuki stood up,"Come on."
They rushed inside Inuyasha's, Miroku's, and Shippo's rooms. Inuyasha opened his eyes and saw them,"What are you doing in here?"
"We need to leave and now!" whispered Mazuki. Miroku also woke up.
"But it's late, we'll leave in the morning," he rolled over no longer facing them.
"But you don't under-"Naori started but Inuyasha cut her off.
"Just get some sleep, you guys will be better in the morning,"He pushed them out the door and Naori hissed angrily at him.
"Now what?" she asked Mazuki.
"We'll stay up and guard them since they can't guard themselves."
Mazuki and Naori sat on the porch, but sleep was too strong and it won the battle between sleeping and waking.
"AAAHHHH!" Naori and Mazuki bolted up right.
"That sounded like Kagome!" They rushed towards her room and saw Inuyasha and Miroku were coming there too. Suddenly a man with a chopping knife was thrown out of the room by Sango. Miroku punched the man in the gut and sent him running.
"You guys okay?" Inuyasha asked. He looked down at Kagome's pillow that was cut in half by the knife. "That son of a bitch!" He growled and was about to go find him, but Miroku stopped him.
"We don't need anymore trouble so we'll just leave." Miroku grabbed his staff.
"We didn't cause any trouble in the first place and they attacked Kagome!"
"We'll just leave here and we won't have to fight anyone."
Inuyasha crossed his arms,"Feh."
They packed up and went thier way once again. Naori looked back at the village. Another village to kick us out just because we're different. She sighed and walked next to Sango.
A/N: Okay, Now I bet you're like 'where's a fork so I can tear out my eyes!' and I'm sorry! But I just wanted to tell you that I don't any characters of Inuyasha except for the made up characters, those are mine. Actually not Kenta, I think I got him from another fic.
