A/N: Ok umm...I really like writing this fic so I hope ya like reading it too. Thx for all the reviews!
D/C: I only own the charactors and ideas that I make up.
Shippo, Akimi, Akiko, Kimiko, Akina, Haru and Hoshi left as soon as they explained to their parents what was happening. Akimi had the shards that they already had in a jar in her pocket. Today she was wearing the clothes that Kikiyo had givin her. It was almost identical to Kikiyo's except that it had a blood red rose broach.
Sango and Miroku decided not to come because of Tsuru and Tsumi. So the 7 teenagers were by themselves.
(Later)
The Group had made camp and were all going to sleep. Akiko was conplaining about sleeping on the ground. Kimiko was conplaining having to sleep outside. Akina was conplaining about almost everything.
Akimi-once again- was no where to be found. They had decided to go over to Toto-sai's so they could get some weapons. And Akimi and Shippo needed to get sealing weapons. So far, their demon nature hadn't taken over but now they were in the feudal era, they couldn't be too careful.
(With Akimi-Chan)
"Try hitting that target." Kikiyo instructed Akimi. Akimi nodded and took out an arrow. She hit the target easily. "Good." Kikiyo praised. Kikiyo was following the group so she could keep teaching Akimi to be a Priestess.
Akimi's progress as a priestess-in-training was fast. Kikiyo let Akimi use her bow for now. Akimi was going to get her sealing weapon soon. 'She is getting stronger every day.' Kikiyo thought.
(With Shippo)
"She's taking to long." Shippo said to himself. "I should go look for her." Shippo walked into the forest to find Akimi. "Very good!" He heared something. He walked towards it.
Akimi's ears twitched. Someone was there. She walked towards where the sound was coming from. "Shippo! You scared me!" Akimi said. "What are you doing here?" "Looking for you." Shippo replied. He saw Kikiyo and looked at Akimi "What's Kikiyo doing here?" He asked. "Kikiyo-sensei is teaching me to become a priestess like my Okasan." Akimi explained.
"Oh ok." Shippo said. Akimi was surprised that Shippo accepted this because of what Kikiyo had done to his Okusan and Okasan. "We should get back before out friends start worrying." Akimi said to Kikiyo. Kikiyo nodded and smiled. Akimi and Shippo walked back to camp.
(At Camp)
When Akimi and Shippo got back, everyone was asleep. Everyone except Akina. Akina had pale skin and black wavy hair that went down to her waist. Her eyes were a choclate brown. She was wearing a midnight blue Kimono and just sitting under a tree. As if she was waiting for something.
Shippo had walked away but Akimi went over to Akina. "Hey." She said. "Hey." was Akina's reply. "So," Akimi started. Akina looked at her confused. "So what?" She asked. "So what are you doing here in the middle of the night?" Akimi asked. "Oh just star gazing." Akina replied. "And you know your always out somewhere at this time too. Your one to ask."
Akimi smiled at her friend. They had met just at the first day of school. Akina wasthe best friend Akimihad ever met. Aside from Shippo of course.
"Akimi, have you ever been in love?" Akina suddenly asked. "Um...Why do you ask?" Akimi answered. "Oh, um...I just wanted to know." Akina said. Akimi shrugged. "We should get to bed." Akina said after a while. "Hey you go ahead, I'm gonna stay here a while." Akimi replied.
Akina nodded and left. Akimi climbed the tree and lie there, sleep soon took her over. She sometimes slept in the trees when she was little while stargazing so she was used to it and didn't fall off the trees.
