Only in a world so cold
Chapter 2
The Meeting
Shintė was now sitting under the tree, when she heard what sounded like two human girls, a monk and a demon—'no not a full demon', she thought watching them argue 'a half demon'. "Is he that famous 'Inu-Yasha'?" She asked herself. She also noticed a little fox child and a small cat following them.
"Inu-Yasha! Why do you have to be so selfish!?" The girl in the green skirt and white shirt slapped him a crossed the face.
"Kagome? What was that for?!? What the hell did I do to you?!?" He yelled back.
By now the two were behind everyone else who had, obviously, noticed the light brown cat-demon who was watching them.
"Um….Excuse me?" The other human girl came over with the others (besides Kagome and Inu-Yasha) following her. "Where does this road lead to?" She asked kindly.
"This road cuts through a dark forest and leads to a castle."
"Who's castle is it?" The monk asked sitting down by the demon slayer.
"Why do you wanna know monk?" Shintė starred coldly.
"Oh. Sorry. I'm Sango, he's Miroku" Sango said. "This is Shippou and the cat's Kirara. And back there is Kagome and Inu-Yasha"
"I'm Shintė, I'm headed for Naraku's Castle and seeking revenge for my village."
"Hey we're headed there too!" Shippou-the fox child said. "Maybe we could go together?!"
"Ya, why not??" Miroku looked hopeful
"Huh? What're we doin'??" Inu-Yasha a Kagome walked over.
"This is Shintė. She maybe going with us when we go up against Naraku!" Shippou explained. Then he looked up at Shintė "You will, won't you? Please??"
"Well I suppose it would be better then going by my self…"
"That's great!" Miroku exclaimed
"YAY!" Shippou jumped up happily.
Later that evening
Shintė was the only one awake. The light from the fire reflected on her face as it seemed to be dancing on the chunks of wood. 'How is it that one day no one even knows you exist and the next you have five friends?' She asked herself. Leaning on a tree she could see everyone sleeping, Kagome in her sleeping bag, Shippou lying on top of her sleeping bag, Miroku was leaning against another tree, Sango against another with Kirara on her lap. Inu-Yasha was in the tree above her. "Well I guess that I'll go to bed." She leaped up and landed on a branch slightly above Inu-Yasha's.
Before she knew it, she was drifting back into the past she knew all to well. She had had this nightmare for almost every night since she was five, and it actually happened. Only now, she's fifteen instead of five. But she still finds her mother's cold body, still lying in a pool of her blood. She can still smell Naraku's flesh, all the blood. The blood of her kind, her village. She can still see the farm animals, and her friends and family, torn apart by wild possessed wolves. She can remember them chasing after her with bloody, foamy mouths. Tearing at her as she tried to get away, not wanting to die like her family, but wanting to live on and seek revenge for them so their souls can finally rest in peace.
