Chapter 4

Day dream

Shintė had sat there watching the spider weave it's way around the horse flies that were unlucky enough to fly into it's deadly trap. But finally it was morning. 'But no one's up' She thought holding up a clawed hand that's killed so many of Naraku's demons and so many others.

"Shintė, are you awake?" It was Inu-Yasha.

"Yah, I am. What's up?" She looked down on him, he looked up.

"We got to catch our breakfast. Wanna come?"

"Yah I guess." They both jumped down in silence, not to disturb the others that were sleeping.

Soon they reached a herd of animals like deer and wild cows. They crept up behind them. Inu-Yasha used his iron-claw to kill a buck. Shintė used her kitty-paw to slice a small bull. Watching the other animal's ran frantically with confused fright, they swung their soon-to-be food over a shoulder and swiftly and gracefully ran back to the others.

When they returned, only Miroku was awake, propped up against a tree. "Good morning, Shintė, I see you're looking lovely today." Miroku stared at her wanting-ly. She gave him an uneasy nod.

Inu-Yasha through there dead creature by Shintė's. "I'm gunna go find water. Stay here. Miroku control yourself for everyone's sake. Control." He left before Miroku could protest.

She sat, almost fell, beside him. Wiping the blood from her hands and nails on her dyed-purple fire rat skin baggy pants and wiping off the little blood that got on her purple fire rat skin tang top. And before she knew, Miroku was kneeling in front of her, holding her hands in his and looking deep in her eyes. "Will you bare my child?" (his ever-so popular saying)

She stole her hands back. He winced expecting to be hit(again).

"I'm flattered really." She said sarcastically.

"Hey! Wow! You didn't hit me?!" He looked shocked.

"Do you want me to?"

"No. Not really."

"Then shut up and leave me alone" She glared coldly and he backed off back to where he was sitting.

She rested her arms on her knees and began to stare off into space.

The 5-going-on six-year old Shintė sat in the dark cave, alone, cold and heart broken, she muffled her tears in her knees as she rocked back and forth in the fetal position. "Why my town/ Why? Why?" she said to herself then shouted "WHY!!", so loudly that something stirred from deep inside the cave the cave. Her green eyes shot up. Even though they were well adapted to the dark, and glowed an eerie green, she could only see an out line of a tall figure. It came closer and closer. Finally in the wet moonlight she could see it's face. "Hello?" She called in a soft but harsh voice. "Who are you kitten?"

"I-I'm Shintė Chotaru ma'am. I'm sorry I thought this cave was empty"

"Where are your parents?"

"M-my whole town was slaughtered ma'am I just needed a place to stay"

She was a tall human-looking demon with light blue demon marks and a leaf in her hair. "Oh, my I'm so sorry" she was carrying a light blue skull. "I guess you may stay here for tonight, I mean naturally as a troll demon I would not take kindly to another….but you have lost so much and it is pouring out side."

"That you so much ma'am and I'm so sorry that I disturbed you." Shintė said in a teary but thankful voice.

And the troll demon disappeared back into the darkness

Shintė's ear twitched as Inu-Yasha's rapid pacing woke her from her day dream.
