Secrets Chapter 4
Hey it's Amaya again.Here is the 4th chapter.Hope you like it.
-Amaya-
The night was cool and breezy.No clouds hid the moon.It cast it's silvery shadow upon the sleeping Sanzo party.But not everyone was asleep.Kala sat up.The silver light made her silverish-blue hair look almost white.She pulled up her left sleeve.Her tattoo shone with the moon light.
"I have to take a walk.I need to clear my head." she wispered to herself.
As she got up she looked around. Everyone was asleep. And she wasn't surprised when she saw Gojyo with his arm around Kaori. She shook her head and laughed to herself. But she stopped. She hoped Kaori wouldn't wake up. Kaori knew something had been wrong. Kala knew she knew. She could feel it. But how could she explain when she didn't even know what was wrong herself? SHe got out of Jeep and as she did, he made a noise. She turned around and put her finger to her lips.
"Shh.Jeep, I'm just going for a walk. I'll be back in a few minutes. Okay?"
She walked into the woods. For some reason she felt really comfortable and at home. She stooped by a stream. The sound of trickling water was soothing.It reminded her of her home 10 years ago. SHe sat up against a tree to brace herself. She knew she wouldn't be able to stop the memories. She closed her eyes. All the memories came flooding in.And they weren't all good.
Hakkai sat up. He had felt the transformed dragon shift when Kala stood up.He got up and told Jeep to watch the remaining 4 while he followed Kala.
Kala was still sitting against the tree. Suddenly the memory of coming back from a hunt invaded her mind. She remembered seeing the gold clan ambushing her clan.She was told to stay behind a bush because the others would try to kill her if they got the chance. She remembered having to watch her watcher die and not being able to do anything about it.Tears flooded the edges of her eyes and finally spilled over.
"Oh Shiozu, why did you make me stay? I could have helped you!"
Her flash back was interupted when she heard a rustle to the left of her.She looked and stood up. She wiped the tears and cleared her throat.
"Sh-Show yourself...I know you're there." she said in a demanding voice.
Out stepped 3 youkai.
"Ha. She's by herself.This should be easy." said one of them.
"Do you really think so? Cause I don't." Kala answered emotionlessly.
"Ooo. And she's fiesty. We should have some fun with this one." said another.
Kala just crossed her arms and leaned on one leg.
"You know I would be a little bit more worried if I were you. You're alone and have no weapons, not saying you could even beat us if you did." said the last one.Obviously he was the leader of the 3.
"Really?Then your seriously underestimating me." said Kala.
"Are we? Then lets see then." said the last one again.
He walked to her and gently put his hand up her shirt. SHe knocked him away and before he could hit her back, she did a backflip. But instead of coming back down, she stayed in the air. A bright light appeared. The youkai had to close their eyes and use their hands as shields. When they finally looked to see what happened, all that was there was a silver wolf. She laid on the ground, ears perked, watching the three youkai. Her tail wagged just a little as her eyes showed complete contentment in the fearful look the youkai gave her.
