A pair of eyes slowly open to stare at the cave walls that protected them from the morning chill. Star shifts positions, from curled up on a bed of furs to sitting cross-legged amongst them. Trying to push away the images of the day she set herself free, she let herself remember the people whom she had lived with until very recently, the Drow. Absentmindedly she lays a hand on the marking placed on her left hip, she smiles softly, with a hint of sadness, at the memories of her people whom had almost been whipped out less than a month ago, the people who took so long to accept her but treated her as one of their own once they finally had.
Standing up, she strapped her sword to her hip and took her bow and arrows in hand. Looking at the fire, it instantly went out, and she continued to be on her way. She had heard rumors of many demons suddenly becoming mad due to their greed for the legendary Shikon no Tama, and had killed many of the before. Doing so, she acquired a fourth of the bright pink jewel. She knew killing them would be a piece of cake, and good target practice.
'Let's see who I can kill today.' She thinks to herself as an evil grin appears on her face upon feeling the fragmented aura that could only be a jewel shard, and she set off in a dead run to her destination, almost a blur.
The group could be seen heading to a clearing that another jewel shard was sensed. All weapons were draw and everyone was prepared to take on whatever inhabited the area just past the timberline; but no one was prepared for what they were about to see, or the person they were going to encounter.
Sounds of combat could be heard throughout the clearing; the loud roaring of the large Dragon youkai, and the swift sound of sleek steel being swung through the air, with sounds of deep gashes being made frequently reaching their ears. They all looked on in awe at the young woman Kagome's age who wore armor of the highest caliber and had a sword in each hand, one white, and the other black. She took flight, and begun practicing aerial attacks.
Star wasn't going at the beast at her top speed orpower, she wanted to have fun with it, and so she did just that until she sensed multiple auras entering the clearing, and at that time she killed her target with a swing of the dark sword. After feeling the life of the youkai leave the body, she turned around to look upon her guests, with a small smirk on her face.
The six standing in front of her, she knew of very well, and had seen many times. The famed shard hunters were well known to the people who chose to learn about the happenings of Japan. Lowing herself to the ground, her swords disappear as her feet make contact on the ground. Someone else was in the tree, but she knew exactly whom it was, and diced to be quiet.
Inuyasha began growling as he saw her swords disappear, a scrowl on his face, and it was all just for Star.
"Who the hell are you, bitch!" Drawing his sword, Inuyasha continued to growl and glare and the woman in front of him as his sword transformed into its greater form. She narrowed her eyes but decided to hold off on dog boy for now.
"Learn some respect, ass hole. My name is Star, and you might as well put your sword down, dog boy for I am no demon, nor witch." Her eyes trailed to each face of the group as Inuyasha rants about being called dog boy.
Kagome stood tall in a pair of thick, hip hugger jeans and a loose, black T-shirt, having finally gave up on ruining her school uniforms, with her bow and arrows in her hands. She could see the huge fragment of the jewel, but decided to wait and see what was about to happen
Shippo, whom was parked on Kagome's shoulder in his usual outfit, looked a little frightened, but tried to look brave. She gave him a soft smile and let her eyes move to another.
Sango and Kilala were slightly behind Kagome and Inuyasha. Kilala was fully transformed, with Sango standing at her side with her Hiraikotsu ready. She wasn't sure whether the woman in front of her was safe or not. They were both prepared for anything.
Miroku, in his usual deep purple robes with his staff and rosary to keep him company, looked upon her with a look of curiosity and mild surprise, wondering exactly how she knew that Inuyasha's sword would not work against humans. He could sense that she meant no harm and decided to speak voice his feeling.
"Inuyasha, lower you sword, she means no harm here." Inuyasha continued to growl with his sword up, but slowly lowered it after a while, the snarl never dissipating from his throat.
"What the fuck do you want, wench?" She glares at him but lightens it up a little when the growl ceases and he sheaths his sword fully.
"I am not intentionally running into you six at this moment, but I had intended on seeking you out later in the future. I have a proposition for you, are you willing to listen?" She eyes Inuyasha with a not-so-harsh look, waiting for an answer, knowing listening was hard for him to do.
Kagome rests a hand on Inuyasha's shoulder just as he is about to lash out, silencing him for the time being. "How is it that with such a large piece of the jewel, which I presume are all from demons full of hatred, it is pure in your hands when it is but in the hands of others?" The group looked surprised as she pulled out a fourth of the jewel, eyeing it with indifference.
"There are many things that you will learn about me in time, if you decide to take up my offer. As of now, I cannot reveal those things to you, but later, when we have mutual trust shall you learn about me, my heritage and my past." She tucks the jewel back in her amour, and looks towards Kagome.
"What exactly are you proposing, Star-sama?" It was Miroku's voice who sounded this time as he steps forward to be standing parallel to Kagome and Inuyasha.
"I tire of doing nothing, so I request that I travel with you and your companions. I will continue to protect this part of the jewel, but at the time in which it is needed, it is yours. I can provide for myself, all I am looking for is a little spice in my life." Star look on with a look of slight hope as the group debates the answer among themselves.
Inuyasha steps out of the little circle that was formed where opinions were heard, with a slight scrawl on his face. "Fine wench, you can come along, but I better not have to save your ass once or you are gone, got that?"
Star growls lightly and sends a glare towards him. "Disrespect me again, and you will have dug your grave, dog boy." Her eyes flash vibrant silver and his ears fall back against his head
"Feh" As the group walks off, a pair of cold, vibrant eyes followed them with indifference. 'So, it looks like the worthless half breed has found a new addition to his meek group; although, I do have to admit, that woman is very strong.' The form jumps from the tree and walks down an opposite path, away from the shard hunters.
