To make things more realistic you will not know what everyone else is thinking but you can guess. Also I might stay in your POV it also makes thing more realistic tell me what you think. Things will go more into detail when in like the 4th or 5th chapter.
RECAP
"Do you doubt my abilities?" he questioned.
"No," I stated not giving him anymore than what he asked for.
"Then why is that you require your weapons" he asked again.
"Think of it this way, I am used to taking care of myself and now I'm completely useless to myself and those around me. I don't like being dependant. Don't get me wrong or anything but you're not always going to be there and I don't like the fact that I would have no way to defend myself at that point." I stated.
"I mean, how would you feel?" I asked, not really meaning to.
"Foolish mortal, have you no respect! Lord Sesshomaru has taken you in and this is the thanks he receives! You humans are nothing but ungrateful…" said Jaken, right before receiving a foot in his face.
"It's understood," he said then continued walking.
"By the way, we passed the place where Naraku is hiding" I stated looking to the left .
"How would you know?" he countered pausing in mid step.
"I felt his presence yesterday when we passed the corpses of those soldiers. It was faint but I'm positive it was him his aura is not an easy one to forget." I said.
" Why is it that you didn't state this earlier?" he said higher than him normal tone, indicating his annoyance.
"Well, I wasn't certain that you would want me to. No offense, but every time I have something to say you kind of ignore me or look really pissed. So I try my best to be polite and shut up." I retorted.
He narrowed his eyes.
"Next time you feel his aura you are to report it." He said.
"Whatever you say" I said passively.
"Jaken say here with Anita and Rin. I will go investigate." He said .
"Great just what I meant" I said before leaning against a tree.
CHAPTER II
Well we waited and waited but still no sign of Sesshomaru.
I grew rather irritated that he left us here with Jaken. Not that Jaken was bad he just had a tendency to talk to himself about Sesshomaru! About an hour later I started to feel the presence of a demon. It wasn't that powerful but I did not have…you guessed it weapons.
"Jaken, there's a demon coming this way," I stated.
"Are you afraid human?" he asked, almost laughing.
"No," I stated like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"But what about Rin? I don't want her to get hurt," I said.
"Lord Sesshomaru has left me in charge and I shall not fail him!" he declared holding his weird looking stick.
"What's that?" I asked with a raise eyebrow.
"Why must you mortals ask so many question? Do you know anything?" he asked.
"Never mind; forget I asked," I retorted blowing a strand of hair out of my face.
The demon was closer and now I could feel others in the perimeter and in the near by vicinity. 'Shit! Just what we need a full out attack when I'm totally defenseless.'
The battle began. Jaken killed a lot of the demons but there were just too many. I put up a barrier around Rin. Then I was off. We had just past a village not to far back. There should be weapons and stuff there. I don't have any money and I don't believe in stealing but this was a life and death situation. There go my morals. I'll do it, for Rin's sake.
I ran as fast as my legs could carry me. Jumping and flipping out of danger I suffered only minor scratches, till this really fast demon came out of no where.
When 100 isn't good enough try 200, and that's just what I did. I had only tried this before in theory. Using my Miko powers to run; Converting energy, hey it sounded simple enough. My legs glowed a blue color and I started to build up speed I made it to the village only to find no survivors. Once again I was surrounded by corpses, dead things, and sticky red blood. The smell in the air was sickening and I was engulfed in it.
I regained my composure and began my search for weapons. I found quite a few, but the first one I found was a sickle. That was what I used to kill the first demon that caught up with me. It was a preying mantis demon.
First it attacked me when my back was turned, I had barely dodged it. I turned around and threw the sickle cutting off one of its leg I was shocked when it grew back almost instantly.
But then I saw a glowing object within its body. Maybe that was it, perhaps my sixth sense was showing me the creature's weakness. So I aimed there for my next attack. And as I did a glowing black shard fell to the ground with the demon's chest bleeding in its place.
I attacked again delivering the final blow. I debated weather or not to retrieve the shard thing. Weighing my options I thought it to be much safer with me, after all another demon could come alone and use it's power. I bent down, poked the jewel slightly, not knowing if it was safe to touch then finally picked it up. It turned a whitish blue color when I did. 'Interesting, did I just purify the shard?' I shook my head, no time to contemplate such things. I then gathered two more weapons, a crossbow and 25 arrows along with a sword. Then I was off again at the lightning speed I developed. Once again I'd be useless after, but it was saving Rin and, yes, even Jaken. This was a more important matter right now.
Already I felt my Miko powers depleting. I prayed that I would last long enough to help Rin and Jaken. It seems that I was blessed at least once today anyways.
I saw Jaken and Rin uninjured and still fighting. Not to long after I joined the fight I heard a swish in the wind, like something was cutting through the air and a female voice yelling something I couldn't quite make out. Then right after I saw some golden streaks and a red blob yelling, "Wind Scar!" or something like that...
They got closer and I saw 5 people and a large cat demon approach us. One of which was a Miko. She used her arrows to slay some of the demons near us.
"Where's the jewel shard Kagome?" questioned the boy in red gruffly as he swung his massive sword.
She pointed to me and I looked behind me not knowing what the hell she was talking about.
"She has it," he said to her as if to confirm it was me she pointed to.
"Yeah, she's got it in her belt I think," she said.
We continued to fight the demons but my barrier around Rin was now gone. The boy, now closer, had a striking resemblance to Sesshomaru. He wasn't a human boy either, I think he's a hanyou. To make a long story short he totally enilated the demons, and almost killed Rin in doing so. I, of course, proceeded to curse him out. Even though I wasn't fond of profanity when people get me to that point, I will use it.
"ARE you FUCKING crazy! You could have killed her. An inch more to the left and she could have lost a limb" I yelled, outraged by the boy's reckless use of weapons.
"YOU should be THANKING me I just saved your life" he retorted gruffly.
I sighed, surely this boy was just a bit too sure of himself.
"You are the most ignorant, arrogant creep I've ever met." I said in a low voice.
"Oh yeah by the way thank you." I added in a sarcastic tone.
"Well I just came for the jewel shard if ya just hand it over we'll be on our way" he said.
" Why the hell would I give it to a reckless half demon like you?" I retorted still a little peeved.
"Why you little…" he started to say but was interrupted when one of his female companions yelled, "Sit!"
"Please forgive Inu-Yasha, he tends to be a bit rude sometimes," the miko said, bowing.
"By the way my name is Kagome. That's Shippo(points to him) that's Sango(points to her) that's Miroku(points to him) and this is Kirarra." She said, introducing everyone in their little group.
I sighed, the use of my Miko energy was really starting to taka a toll on me now. I really wasn't in the mood to talk to these people right now but I supposed that I would have to. They came for the jewel shard after all. 'Should I give it to them?' Well the miko appears to have quite a few of them, but maybe someone should explain the whole thing to me. It was decided; I'd give them the jewel shard after I learned of it's origin and power.
"Well, my name's Anita." I said with a polite bow.
Kagome began to talk. But I interrupted her before she could start. The sooner we got this over with the better.
"I'll give you the shard that I possess if you tell me about the shard's origin and power," I said with a serious expression.
She appeared to be shocked for some reason.
"You don't know about the jewel of four souls, the Shikon no Tama?" asked Sango, astonished.
"No," I paused in thought, "Wait, I think I remember hearing about it before, but go ahead and refresh my memory," I continued with a curious tone.
"Well…" Kagome began. She told me about the jewel with the others putting in their two cents here and there. I remembered some of it and was told other details that had been left out.
Rin listen patiently and Jakan , as usual was complaing about… huh?
"Inu-Yasha is Sesshomaru's bother?" I asked Jaken.
"Baka" he retorted.
"Hey, look nobody told me. I'm not a mind reader am I?" I said sarcastically as I rolled my eyes.
"Why is it that your traveling with Sesshomaru anyway?" Kagome asked.
"Huh? Oh well I suppose 'We're in need of each other's service,'" I said quoting him.
"Why would Sesshomaru need you?" asked Inu-Yasha in a rude manner.
I narrowed my eyes and opted to ignore the question.
"Where's Sesshomaru anyway?" said Shippo.
"Well he didn't abandon us if that's what your thinking," said Jaken in a 'Jaken' like manner.
"Oh Lord Sesshomaru! Why did you leave me with these humans?" said Jaken talking to himself again, and he said I talked too much.
"Well he left a while ago, to look for some demon,." I said passively as I ignored Jaken's rambling.
I was tired and really wanted to rest which made me very passive.
"Naraku," said Inu-Yasha and Kagome at the same time.
"Yeah, him" I retorted as if it were nothing at all.
"Foolish girl! Lord sesshomaru will have your head!" screeched Jaken.
"Well I wasn't aware it was some sort of secret," I said giving him an annoyed expression.
"Baka," he said before he got this weird look like the world was about to end.
I shook my head and continued talking to the others about Naraku and junk. I got a lot of valuable information from them and then they left. For some reason I managed to say awake to listen.
We parted and once again, we were back to waiting or in my case passing the hell out. About 12 hours later we were greeted by Sesshomaru. Well as greeted as we can get anyways.
I was half asleep and Rin and Jaken were sleeping like the dead. He sat down by a tree looking up at the sky, it was morning now. I opened my eyes to the shimmers of light that escaped the trees grasps. I turned to him and as usual he ignored my presence. I was surprised when he spoke.
"He was there," was all he said in a monotone voice, not bothering to look at me.
"So, um, do you mind if ask what happened?" I asked in a groggy voice.
"He got away," he stated passively still looking at the sky with unwavering eyes. I suppose that was all that I can expect to get from him.
"Oh, well then we're back to searching again, then," I said trying to start a conversation.
He didn't answer. 6 words that's a new record for our conversations. We've only spoken this much when he saved me and when I was talking about weapons.
"Well I got some weapons yesterday," I said.
He then turned around and raised an eyebrow perhaps wantingan explanation.
Still some what groggy, I yawned and stretched. Then I proceeded to answer his unspoken question.
"Well, a while after you left we ran into some trouble, lots actually," I started. I continued and surprisingly enough he seemed to be giving me his full attention with NO glares.
"So you have meet Inu-Yasha," he said.
"Yeah. I would tell you what I think of him, but I don't think you'll like it to much," I said in an annoyed tone.
He smirked a bit, almost like he wanted to laugh.
"This, Sesshomaru cares not what you think of that halfbreed," he stated 'matter of factly.'
