B-BTW In the story I refer to myself as Sis. just because we don't want you to get confused.
Meeting
"Got it" Kagome said as she bent to pick up the jewel shard from the centipede demon they had just killed.
" That demon was so weak! You'd think the jewel would make it much more strong" said Shippo
"The demon wasn't very strong to begin with and the jewel only makes them ten times stronger. It's just as well for us, though" explained Miroku to the young kitsune.
"I agree," said Sango nodding "it means they're easier to kill"
Miroku grinned lecherously inching close to her.
Smack!
"Pervert!" Startling birds out of the trees.
Farther along the RoadA young woman stopped somewhere about a mile away.
"Oop, someone got it," she said.
" Got what Suki?" said her companion turning in the direction Suki was facing. "Hmm something startled those birds. You think we should check it out?"
" Nah just some pervert getting what he deserved. By the sound of the slap I'd say he'll be out for about an hour" Suki replied. Her companion winced.
They watched the spot where they had seen the birds for a while to make sure then kept going.
Later that nightSuki came into the camp with two rabbits in her hand to find a fire burning and a pot of water boiling. Her sister sat near the fire with some cloth in her hands. As Suki neared she saw many tiny spiders on the end weaving back and forth.
"You said you were running out of herbs, there's a large village close by we can sell it there," her sister said without looking up.
"Thanks 'Tan" said Suki as she started skinning their dinner.
-oOo-
The next day was sunny but cool as Suki and her sister made their way to the village. Just outside her sister called a stop. Pulling a piece of cloth out of her bag along with a few spiders. She put out a hand for the spiders to climb on then put them back into her bag.
"OK put this on your head," she said, handing the spider free cloth to Suki.
Suki pouted.
"It's not fair Botan. Why do I have to wear that over my ears when you don't need any thing to cover your extra eyes!"
"You know why," Botan said untying her kimono so she didn't look too conspicuous unlike her sister's choice of clothing. "Now come on. The sooner you put it on, the sooner we get your herbs, the sooner we get out and you can take it off. You do want to get your herbs don't you?" Suki nodded. "Well then put it on or I'll leave you behind and get the herbs myself." Suki paled. Last time her sister had gotten the wrong herbs and they had attracted raccoons that ruined their camp.
" I'm putting it on. I'm putting it on. Jeez, no need to get hasty," she said quickly tying the cloth around her head covering the tips of her ears. Then followed Botan into the village.
With Inuyasha and Co.
Kagome looked around. Inuyasha said that those two who had killed the moth demon smelled faintly like demons and that one had the smell of a spider. So naturally they followed. The trail had led them to a rather large village with a castle over looking it. It was beautiful. Inuyasha always insisted on bypassing villages, he didn't want them coming after him because he was a half demon. Right now he was wearing a straw hat to hide his ears on the ground on all fours sniffing for the trail. He was also getting odd looks from the villagers but she didn't care between Sango's Hiraikotsu and her own cloths she'd be staring too. Suddenly he bolted forwards with Sango, Miroku and herself following.
Inuyasha stopped a few moments later, getting up off his hands and knees he dusted himself off then sniff the air as if to make sure. Then he turned to Kagome and Miroku.
" She's somewhere here but there are too many scents. Do you think you can track the demonic aura?" He said. Kagome and Miroku nodded then began to scan the crowd. After a while Kagome suddenly whispered:
"There, the one holding up the cloth to the vendor." They all turned to look at the person Kagome had pointed out. Miroku shook his head.
" She doesn't seem to be doing any thing abnormal just buying some cloth," he said with a sigh "I don't think she would be doing that if she were working for or with Naraku."
"Shhh," said Inuyasha "She's not buying the cloth, the vendor just gave her money. I bet it's a cover for something else."
" You mean like she killed someone and the vendor is paying her off?" Asked Kagome worriedly. Their quarry thanked the vendor and walked off, with Kagome and the others following her.
"Yeah" Inuyasha replied.
"But wouldn't that make her more of a bounty hunter or assassin?" Sango questioned looking around. "Wouldn't she be more likely to do that in the bad part rather than here with all the soldiers and priests."
" Well at first I didn't sense her presence. It wasn't until Kagome pointed her out that…" Miroku was shushed by the others as the girl turned to look around. Everyone stayed perfectly still (Sis-I don't see how that would help, it would be creepy to find a group of people just standing there staring at you.) They were relived to see another girl come through the crowd. The one they were trailing handed whatever the vendor had given her to the girl that had just arrived. They talked for a few minutes then parted ways.
" Which one should we follow?" said Sango.
"We'll follow the taller one," Kagome volunteered, standing next to Inuyasha. "Her demon aura is the same as the other girl's so it might be more difficult for you and Miroku to follow."
"OK" said the others as they set off.
-oOo-
Miroku, Sango and Kirara (Kilala but I don't think Japanese have an 'L' in their alphabet.) followed their girl all the way out of the village until they came to a forest where they lost her.
"She was right in front of us. I know it," said Sango looking around warily.
'Just a bit further' Miroku thought.
Wham
Hiraikotsu connected with Miroku's head.
"Letch!" Sango hissed, " We're supposed to be following the girl."
" But Sango how can I resist a beauty such as you," Miroku said in a daze.
Tsst.
"Miroku, did you here that!"
" What, my dear Sango."
Tsst. Tsst. Tsst.
"That!" This time Miroku did here it and was about to speak when a voice came out of nowhere.
" Who are you and why are you following me?" it said. The voice sounded feminine it wasn't quiet but it wasn't really loud either.
Sango and Miroku quickly went into defensive mode, standing back to back with their weapons out in front of them. Kirara transformed and stood next to them. (Sango is in her slayer suit by the way (Sis- I swear Sango's magical. She always seems to have her slayer's outfit on at the right time.))
"We wanted to know who you are and what business you had in that village," said Sango still trying to pinpoint the speaker.
"I would ask why who I am would matter to you, but I think I already know the answer demon slayer. Though to answer your second question I was running out of herbs and since I carry no money on me I made some fabric. I am a seamstress of sort," The voice said. "Also I would advise against coming for word. You may not be the bad guys but a girl's got to protect herself."
"I see," said Miroku. " I have one other question. Have you heard of Naraku?"
"Uhhh, no."
"Ok. Sorry for bothering you then." Miroku started to turn when there was a cry in the direction of the village.
"Damn" came the voice from the trees as a blur burst out of them. Miroku and Sango looked at each other before following.
-oOo-
Botan ran along the roofs of the houses. It had been her sister's scream.
' Either she's in trouble or she's going to be.' Botan thought. Suki had a temper, making Botan worry more about her sister's victims than her sister in general. Suki can defend herself.
She finally came upon the kafuffle (Sis-I love that word). Suki had everyone on the ground with there hands on their ears. Botan took out some cloth from a bag at her waist and used it to cover her ears. Then she took in the people on the ground.
First off there were a whole bunch of soldiers and a priest, by their clothes they looked pretty high class though it was hard to tell if the were good or not, sometimes 'priests' would go around shooting sutras at random people other times it would be a demon pretending to be a priest and would later devour whomever came to trust it. She stretched out her arm and webs shot out of her palm covering each soldier and the priest up to their neck.
If they were real they probably sensed Suki's demonic aura and started coming after her, biiiiiiig mistake.
Next to them, strangely enough was an inuhanyou in a red robe and a girl in the strangest getup Botan had ever seen, and she had seen some strange things in her time a wandering. Still she gave them the same treatment as the soldiers covering them to their necks with web.
"Ahhh," came two screams behind her. She turned to see the two that had been following her before on the ground covering their ears. Botan sighed and did them up like all the rest then walked over to her sister tapped her shoulder and when she opened her eyes, nodded. The screeching stopped.
"Finally you came I thought I'd have to keep doing this forever, or at least till they were dead," said Suki looking over at the soldiers who visibly paled at her words.
" Aw come on Su you know it would have taken them at least a week at that level before they'd die," Botan scoffed. The priest who had just woken up finally noticed where he was and started yelling.
" I demand that you release me at once," he yelled.
Suki walked over to the priest took her scythe off her back and knelt so she was in his face.
"Look pal, you are in no position to be demanding anything from us," she hissed pressing her weapon against his unprotected neck. He glared his face turning red. Suki smirked and pinched his cheek. "If you keep that up your face will freeze like that." Then she got up and looked towards her sister who was pulling at the red cloth the hanyou was wearing with a large funny grin on her face. She sweatdropped, her sister was obsessed with cloth. Once she stole a celestial robe just so she could examine it. She gave it back later to the celestial maiden with a whole lot more of the same cloth. Of course it wasn't as powerful but once the celestial maiden put her it was identical. The celestial maiden was so surprised that she forgot to punish Botan. Yup she loved her sister, even if she was crazy.
