Author's Note: Sorry about the long wait! I have a lot of stories I'm working on right now. (aka: A Robin's Story, Return, Secrets of Silence, and One Pheonix) But now here's Chapter three of Kazel! YAY!
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha or any of his friends… except, the dragon demon is my character and so is the old man who appears in this chapter and maybe others to follow…
Wonton
"What brings you travelers to this side of the mountain?" An old man seemed to materialize right out of the surrounding trees, startling the group. He was wearing a long black tunic and his back was stooped over. Because of his back, the old man hobbled towards them on a short, twisted, black cane.
"Wait a minute, who are you?" –Shippo
"That is not important right now."
"Yes it is! If we don't know who you are, how do we know that we can trust you?" –Inuyasha
"True. Allow me to introduce myself to you…I am Wonton, and as of yet, you have not answered my question. What brings you travelers to this side of the mountain?"
"We saw the smoke from the village and decided to investigate." –Sango
"Do you have any idea what happened there, Mr. Wonton?" –Kagome
"Although I did not live within the boundaries of that particular village, I do know what became of it." –Wonton
"So what happened?" –Miroku
"The villagers brought it on themselves. They had angered the dragon demon for years." –Wonton
"Dragon demon?" –Kagome
"That is what I said, a dragon demon." –Wonton
"I've never heard of a dragon demon before." –Sango
"Dragon demons are very rare. I had heard that they were almost extinct." –Miroku
"Like the dinosaurs." Everyone stared at Kagome, "Never mind."
"No wonder this stuff smells like a lizard." –Inuyasha
"You must be always on your guard. If the dragon Demon has returned, it is said that he will run a rampant path throughout the land until he controls it, or until all are dead. Especially the other demons." Wonton glared in Inuyasha's direction as he said this.
"Dragon demons are extremely rare and very powerful. They're one of the most powerful demons around, especially when they're angry. They tend to get very possessive over their belongings. I heard that one of them has enough magic to destroy a good size of the feudal land. That is, if it's old enough or trained well. Some of them are big and some are small. I guess the one that attacked the village was one of the bigger ones." –Miroku
"Thanks for your help…" Kagome turned to thank him, but Wonton had mysteriously disappeared into the forest, "Wonton?"
"Okay… that was weird." –Shippo
"He moves quite fast considering he's old and walks with a cane." –Inuyasha
"Anybody else find it strange that he just appeared?" –Miroku
"Yeah. It was like he knew we were going to be here and what we were going to ask him." –Sango
"Personally, I don't like him. And neither do I!" --Inuyasha
Author's Note: I know it was short but I like titling and sorting chapters by their common themes. Or what happens so that readers don't get confused. Until next time! See Ya!
