Chapter 4: The similar Kagome (part 1)
Link was behind the group, somewhat losing energy thanks to hunger. He hasn't eaten for about three hours by now. And he hoped one of his new companions were alright, too. He was simply selfless and wished for her safety.
I've been through this hunger before… I think I can take this… I think I can! I think I can!
The village was at least in sight… Link kept his strength.
The village seemed… somewhat, cheerful. Almost like Hyrule when he returned, or Labrynna after Link overthrew Ganon from his evil plans. He saw Miroku taking her to a doctor, or whoever said that the person was the doctor.
"It doesn't seem that she's going to recover for a day or so." The doctor explained, trying NOT to hurt the feelings of Miroku. But the monk simply nodded.
"But… why don't you stay here for a while, traveler? You seem tired."
Link then appeared, then Kagome, and they all seemed worn out; tired.
"That would be greatful for all of us. Thank you for your generousity." Miroku thanked.
Well, I guess I did need some rest for a while… I'll just have some fun around, exploring…
That was when Link's stomach growled…
"Er- heh heh…" Link laughed rather embarrassingly.
Kagome giggled rather silently as well.
Link went outside and got a few fruits from a tree. That's how he mostly ate during his adventures, and he liked eating somethings like that… unless if they're poisonous or spoiled.
After he was finished eating, Link decided to take a little walk outside of the village. He couldn't stay there not knowing other places of the current era he was in.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps behind him. Link quickly turned around and unsheathed his sword just in case. When he turned, there was actually a woman instead, with bow and arrows on her back. And a few unknown creatures surrounded her, yet they didn't seem to be harming anyone. She stopped for a moment, and Link looked a little surprised.
Kag…Kagome? No… wait, she looks a little different… and Kagome is in the village right now…
"Excuse me…" Link apologized and sheathed back his sword.
The woman didn't say a word, but continued walking anyway. She walked past him. That was it.
She looks somewhat mysterious… better follow her.
Link hid behind the trees and saw where exactly she was going. As she kept on proceeding, Link kept walking, still behind any nearby trees and big rocks. He felt like he should know where this woman was going.
"I know you're there. There's no need for you to hide." The woman said.
"Eep!" Link yelped.
"Go home now. Your parents should be worried about you." The woman ordered rather kindly.
Link simply rubbed the back of his neck as the woman walked closer to him.
"What's your name…?" She wondered.
"…Link… my name's Link." Link replied.
"Tell me… why is it that you followed me?"
"Well, you kinda look like a friend of mine… Thought I could ask a few questions…"
The woman thought about Kagome. She knew who she was.
"Kagome…" She muttered.
She knows her? Link thought.
"You must be one of new Inu Yasha's friends… I am Kikyo." The woman introduced herself.
"You know of Inu Yasha? Well, you could see him right now…" Link suggested, but Kikyo stared at him instead, "if you want…" Link added.
"I have no desire to see a foolish traitor." Kikyo replied to the suggestion.
Traitor? Did he do something bad to this woman… this priestess? Link had questions wandering in his mind.
"Leave now, young one. You'll only risk your life entering the place… full of demons." Kikyo warned rather cautiously.
She walked away and proceeded to whatever mission to complete. Link walked away, but just for the safety of others, Link had to find out what was going on. He sneaked behind her, this time making sure she wouldn't notice him.
Wherever Link was on was a mountain. It had an evil presence all around. While he was walking, he lost Kikyo and looked around all the directions.
He traveled more around the mountain, being cautious of any mysterious things he might encounter.
"Impressive… you are very courageous for your age…" A voice from somewhere close to Link was heard. He himself never was familiar with the voice.
Link was fully alert. He unsheathed his sword and got ready for combat.
"Show yourself." Link demanded rather calmly.
A long haired man appeared. He was clothed mysteriously, and had somewhat strange eyes.
"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Naraku. I saw you talking to Kikyo… what she said were true… Inu Yasha betrayed her."
"What do you mean?" Link wondered.
"He and Kikyo were both in love… until I gave Inu Yasha and Kikyo full hatred against each other, to get the Shicon Jewel… Inu Yasha was a fullish traitor. How amusing…" Naraku laughed.
"So you betrayed their trust…" Link repeated.
"Hmph. Clever… and gifted you are." Naraku commented.
I sense demonic powers inside of him… Link thought.
Link sprinted towards Naraku, and had his Noble Sword with him on his hand. He attempted to slice Naraku in half, but he was proven fast and avoided Link's attacks.
"Stop dodging and show me your attacks, demon!" Link challenged with confidence.
Naraku disappeared all of a sudden, and Link looked all around for him.
Damn it… if I knew this would happen I wouldn't have followed that priestess after all… Link thought, completely regretting for his actions.
Suddenly, Naraku appeared in front of Link and started choking him.
"Suffer, young one… I want you to suffer…" Naraku laughed as he choked even harder.
Link tried to set himself free, but the grip was getting stronger and stronger…
But just then, his left hand glowed, and the Triforce symbol hit Naraku's eye.
"What is this power… you have… who is this…?" Naraku moaned in pain, "I'll be back, young one… and you will not survive…!"
However, even if Naraku let Link go, he was almost out of breath, and fell unconscious…
To be continued…
There's chapter 4. I hoper I can update as much as I can. I'm enjoying this.
