Chapter 5

Deep Thoughts

All seven (including Kirara) of them sat there eating the meat, they all knew soon they would be told by Inu-Yasha that they should leave, and Shintė had mixed emotions about going through the forest. She was physically ready and strong enough, she knew something would go horribly, terribly wrong….

As Inu-Yasha recalled his "little trip" to find water, he could easily remember that thing in the water, it smelled of rot, blood and strangely enough, ink…… He still had no good idea of what it was, but what it was, was not good, it looked sort of like a dead animal, like a horse but he was faraway from sure. And if it was a horse, it was half decayed and still alive, yes what ever that thing was, it was still breathing he could hear short, painful breaths……

Sango was now having slight regrets about coming here, her dream had been about spiders and horses. Something wasn't quite right…. She felt that Shintė and Inu-Yasha knew something they weren't sharing with anyone else. She wasn't sure of anyone right now, it was like she thought she could no longer trust them. And could she?

As he sat there, watching everyone eat in silence, Miroku could feel that their tight bond was somehow loosening. He could feel Naraku's presence everywhere now. And everyone seems so uneasy around him or anyone else….. 'It's all Shintė's fault, before she came everything was as normal as normal gets' he told himself, then dismissed it as being a dangerous thought.

Kagome had been pretty silent since Shintė came along, she didn't trust demons any more, And she saw death, blood and deceit in her eyes and could hear it in her words, actually, now she felt she couldn't trust anyone, she didn't know why but that's how she felt deep, deep in her heart…. Something was going on that no one wanted to talk about, she knew that much so far, but what she really wanted to know was, what is that thing, that lie?

'What's going on??' Shippou asked himself, 'Why is it so quite? Where's the fighting? Teasing? Playing? Talking?' He could admit he was afraid of going into the forest, but something, he knew, was faraway from being right…..he wasn't sure what yet, but he had a feeling no one did, and that they would all find out one way or the other, being death or torture…..No! He wouldn't think that way, he couldn't! Because he knew that's just what this thing, whatever it was wanted him to think. But still, he couldn't help noticing that ever since Shintė tagged along, that nothing was the same, ever thing had changed somehow….
