Amber- Thank you. And it is probably different from when I let you read it at school. I added a few things. .
I do not own any of the characters in this story. The only character I do is Anna. As much as I would love to own Miroku…Sigh I don't.
Chapter 2-What Lies In The Trees
Back in the Feudal Era, Sango was now sitting up looking at her reflection in the water. Her hiraikotsu lay beside her as she tied her hair back into a pony tail.
She brought her hand up into the air and opened it. In the middle of it, was a tiny Shikon jewel fragment. "That demon wasn't so tough, even with the shard." Soon, the Taiji-ya shut her hand into a tight fist and put it back on the ground.
The rushing of water became soothing, as Sango sat by the river with her eyes shut and her hands on her lap.
Not that far away from Sango, the Houshi-sama continued his walk down the path. Still not knowing that the path led to Sango, he shut his eyes and continued to walk.
Behind him, Houshi-sama could here the pitterpatter of small feet on the ground. "Who does there?" Miroku asked as he turned around.
The pitter-patter stopped just as Miroku turned around. His violet eyes looked around but no one was there. "Hmmm. That's odd," he said quietly, turning back around and continued on his way.
Sango stood up and stretched. Grabbing her hiraikotsu, she turned and left the calming river. She headed towards a meadow not that far away.
Just as Sango left the river, Miroku just arrived. "Hmm, it feels like someone was just here." He looked at the flattened grass. This is where Sango was sitting and where her hiraikotsu lay on the ground beside her.
He guessed which path to take; luckily, it was the same one Sango took. Once he saw her sitting in the middle of the meadow, he his in the brush near by. "I see Lady Sango is taking a break," he said quietly.
Sango sat in the meadow, surrounded by flowers. She picked one up out of the ground and started to play with it in her fingers. Her dark brown hair blew around in the wind. To keep the flower safe, she put the stem behind her ear and it was held there by her hair.
Sango's eyes narrowed and started to twitch. The hand she had rested on the ground was searching for a rock. Once she had one in her hand, she threw it at the brush Miroku was hiding in.
Miroku didn't see the rock coming towards him because he heard something behind him.
Soon Shippo came running and jumped onto his shoulder. "Miroku, what are you…" That was when he noticed a rock hurdling towards Miroku.
Miroku looked towards the rock and it hit him right on top of his head. "Oww," he said as he rubbed his head. "I guess she knows I'm here."
Houshi-sama stood up, and as he did the rings on his staff jingled, confirming his presence. As he stepped out of the bushes, he rubbed his head with his free hand. "Hello Sango."
Sango looked at him, and then back at the sky. "Hello Miroku. What were you doing in the bush?"
Miroku scratched his head as he looked from Shippo to Sango as he sat down he said, "Well, I was walking through the forest when I came to the meadow. I saw you sitting here and decided to let you be alone, so I stayed in the bush. The you threw a rock at me."
The Taiji-ya laughed a little and let out a sigh. "Sorry, but you really shouldn't have been spying on me."
The Houshi-sama noticed the flower in her hair. "I wasn't spying on you alright. That flower-"
Sango had put up her hand for him to stop. She slowly stood up and looked around. "I sense something," she said as she picked up her hiraikotsu. The Taiji-ya walked towards the edge of the forest and stopped, "Are you coming?"
"Yes, coming," he called as he walked towards her.
But before Miroku was beside Sango, there were loud 'bangs' from the forest. The sounds came closer and closer until someone was standing in front of Miroku and Sango.
This someone was a full fledged cat demon in the form of a human. She had dark brown hair that went a little bit below her shoulders. Her dark brown orbs moved from Sango to Miroku. She took a few steps forwards, her hands at her side. She was able to have ears, with a small amount of black tuff, on her head, and a long, skinny, black tail. As for her kimono, it was black and had a red trim and sash that went to her knees and no further.
Her eyes continued to move from Sango to Miroku, but stopped at Miroku. "You…Give your jewel shards to me. Now!"
Well, that was the first two chapters for you. I hope you liked them. If you would like to read more, I have seven chapters (Working on the eighth one) for you to read. Please review, I want to see what people other than my friends think. But if any of my friends do read this, please review. I also know that on the first chapter I messed up with Shippo. It is supposed to be kitsune not half fox demon. I was multitasking when i was writing it.
