SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
"What are you talking about?" Her eyes were on me. Fierce.
"Something that happened some time ago."
"Does it have anything to do with Kagome?"
I looked up, "Yes. Her and her family." I told them the story I had promised Kagome I wouldn't tell. About how her family was killed by that bastard Naraku, how she suffered, how she did not want them to know...
Sango looked like it had all been too much, "But why didn't she tell us? We've always been there for her. We would have helped her out during that time. Oh god."
"She didn't want to worry anyone. We've all suffered the loss of someone or other. She didn't want to bring any more sadness into our lives.
The news of Kagome's tragedy seemed to have a strange effect; instead of tears of sorrow running down Sango's face angry droplets were making themselves known. "That Bastard! How could he do that to her! It was he who killed her! We need to make him pay."
Miroku stood up. "I agree. Lady Kagome's death cannot go by unpunished." I looked around the hut; it was clear that Shippo and KAede couldn't come, the danger would be too great.
His gaze shifted to his two companions. A brief smirk lighted his face.
"Naraku is never gonna know what hit him."
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Three days had now passed, the group of three accompanied by Kirara, continued to search relentlessly for any clues leading to Naraku's whereabouts.
Sango, who was riding Kirara, was currently coming back from scouting the surrounding areas. She landed on the ground next to MIroku. "I didn't see anything suspicious nearby, but there is a village a few miles from here. We could make it there by nightfall if we walk."
"It would be better if we went on Kirara." said Miroku, "We have no time to waste."
Sssssssssssss
As we flew over the tress I started to faintly see small little huts a little distance from us. We landed on the outskirts of the town, no sign of life welcoming us.
I sniffed the air around us for any clues, "Why isn't anyone here?"
Sango and Miroku got off Kirara. She spoke up "I don't know, it seems as if the town has been deserted. All of the buildings are intact. I don't think that this village was attacked by demons, at least not anytime near this. I could have sworn I saw smoke coming from this village before though... strange..."
Miroku started walking towards the entrance of the town. "Yes, it all seems very strange. Sango. Inuyasha. Be careful where you go."
All of us separated to go in three different ways. Sango with Kirara with MIroku and me going separate ways into the town. I walked into a hut only to find a pile of dirt and dust at the corner of the room. I left. There was no use on searching for small clues. I let my senses out like a net, trying to catch anything that might possibly lead me to Naraku.
Concentrating was easy, there were no distractions. But ... still... nothing.
How could there be no trace of life in this village? I walked further in the roads; the houses were still and no movement could be seen except the wind. A few minutes passed and I stood still.
I was being watched.
I don't know how I didn't notice it before. From the last hut in the road an ominous aura was making itself known . I could smell Sango, Kirara, and Miroku a little far away. I'll have to do this alone.
The presence seemed like it wasn't aware of me and so I jumped.
"Iron Reaver, Soul Stealer!"
The shack fell apart easily, bits of wood flying through the air. In the middle of the rubble lay a woman. She looked to be around the age of Kagome's mother. I stepped towards her, my right hand on the hilt of my tetsusaiga.
Baka.
She's not mortal. You can't use it against her.
Damn.
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Sango flew through the air on Kirara, Miroku behind her. He spoke suddenly, "Do you think that we'll find any clues about Naraku here?"
"I don't know, but I hope so. Kagome's death cannot be left alone."
Miroku looked into the sky thoughtfully, "Say Sango. Don't you think that if we find the Shikon jewel, that Kagome could be brought back from the dead?"
Sango stiffened, her mind telling her that hoping never lead to anything, "I have no idea, it would be best to try though. Kagome was ... still is a huge part of our lives. We need her back."
"Yes we'll have to speak to Inuyasha about this. I'm sure that he doesn't mind ripping Naraku to shreds right now."
They looked forward until they heard Inuyasha scream his attack.
"Hurry. Trouble seems to have found us. Again."
Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Inuyasha pulled some of the rubble away form the woman. She had dark hair and green eyes. She wore a robe of dark green and had a symbol on her forehead.
A sorceress?
She seemed to be studying him as well. Her voice came out soft as she spoke. "Inuyasha, how I hae longed to see you."
He stepped forward gripping his sword, technicalities be dammed, and yelled, "Who the hell are you? And how do you know who I am?"
"I know many things about you Inuyasha. Just as well as I know many things about your friends. I give you my sincere apologies about your mate, Kagome."
"Don't you dare speak about her when you don't know her! She wasn't my mate, she didn't get the chance to be my mate..."
His head bowed down for a second, remembering her smile. The he looked up.
"You better tell me who you are before I slice you in half, and believe me, I'll have no problem doing so."
Sango and Miroku arrived on Kirara. Inuyasha briefly filled them in on their conversation.
Miroku studies the sorceress, "What is your name?"
She smiled, "My name is Makia. I am here to help you in your quest. That is if Inuyasha doesn't 'slice me I half' as he says he will."
Inuyasha was rigid, "Listen bitch..."
He was stopped by Miroku who held up his hand, "And how exactly do you plan to help us."
"Simple. I know that you are looking for Naraku, and I know exactly where he is."
"Really? And why should we believe you?"
"Because without me, you will not be able to bring back Kagome."
Inuyasha raced up to her and grabbed her by the throat. "Don't joke about his!"
"Do not worry Inuyasha. She wants to come back to you. It was not her time to go. You will see her again, and you will be able to old her in your arms."
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Yes. Let me down. Kagome does not have much time left on this earth. We don't have time to waste."
