"You Won't Ever Be Lonely"

By Lizzie

"I'm hungry," complained Shippo, the young fox demon who started traveling with InuYasha and Kagome after the Thunder Brothers murdered his father.

"Oh, shut up, no one likes to hear you complaining," said InuYasha. He was also hungry, but was too stubborn to admit it.

"Oh, like you weren't thinking the same thing! You're always hungry! And you're ALWAYS eating MY food! Kagome, are you sure you don't have anymore of that yummy ninja food?"

"No… Sorry."

"That's alright."

"Well, there should be a village up ahead," said Miroku the Monk. Miroku joined the group shortly after Shippo. It's not one of the best stories so I won't tell it, but he joined when he found out that InuYahsa was after Naraku, the EVIL demon who made InuYasha and Kikyo betray each other. Now, Miroku is after Naraku (he brings shame to that name) in order to kill him and free himself of the curse that was placed upon his grandfather. From generation to generation, Miroku's family will be cursed unless he can defeat Naraku. They are cursed with a Windtunnel in their right hand that will soon kill Miroku unless he is able to kill Naraku first.

"I can smell food, it's not far from here," said InuYasha. Now, for those of you who don't know, InuYasha is a half-demon, his father was the Great Dog Demon (sorry, I forgot his name), and his mother was nothing more than a mere human. So InuYasha, like a dog, has a great sense of smell. (Obviously!)

"That's good. With all the fighting we've been doing with Hakudoshi (I think that's his name…) and Entei, that really works up and appetite," said Sango, the Demon Slayer. When Sango first encountered the group she considered them to be enemies. Naraku deceived her by telling her that InuYasha had killed her father and brother, Kohaku. But it was actually Naraku who had killed them, and brought her brother Kohaku back from the dead, but they didn't know about that until later. He brought him back to life with the power of the Shikon jewel, which is so powerful that even a single, tiny shard can bring someone back from the dead, like Kohaku. I'm not going to get into the details about the shard, if you want to know more than you need to watch the series yourself. I HIGHLY recommend it if you haven't already seen it!

"Yeah, I know," said InuYasha. As soon as they came closer to the village, Hadji, who was transformed (if you've seen the show, I hope you know what I'm talking about 'cause I'm NOT going to explain it! You have to watch the series!), was heading straight for them. Hadji, if I remember correctly, is Miroku's servant, who's been staying with Miroku's drunken mentor, Mushin.

"Hey, isn't that Hadji?" asked Kagome while Hadji was still a way's off.

"Yes…" said Miroku. "I wonder what he's doing here…"

"Miroku! Miroku!" called Hadji, in his annoying voice. (Seriously, the voice actor annoys me. Please don't make me explain why.) When he got there he transformed back into his original raccoon form. By the time he caught up with Miroku and the gang, he was out of breath. It was apparent that he hadn't rested for quite some time.

"What is it, Hadji?" asked Miroku, concerned by the fact that Hadji was out of breath.

"It's… It's Mushin…" Hadji was trying to think of an easy way to say it… But there was no easy way. Plus he was completely out of breath so talking wasn't that easy!

"Whoa, take a deep breath," said Miroku. "Now, tell me, what about Mushin?"

"H-He's… dead."

End of chapter one.

Hope you enjoyed it!
