Hello again! Time for chapter 2. If you have any suggestion on the story, do not hesitate to post!
Passage, chpt 2The two ninjas who stood before them where an amazing sight, for Kagome that is. They both wore armored vests the color of sand, which made them near invisible. Masks where secured on their faces, making it tough to figure out their gender. The group got at ease and she quickly understood where the feeling of spying came from; They where followed by those ninjas, yet even Inuyasha's nose couldn't track them. From their height and the sound of their voice, they both looked like men in their early thirties.
"urg… Kagome, you really gotta stop yelling sit commands everytime I wake you up…" Inuyasha grumpily said, wiping off the sand from his hair.
"Well, stop screaming in my ears!" she yelled back.
"Hey! I yelled because you couldn't wake up! Wonder why you need sleep. Certainly not for beaty…"
"SIT!" Kagome yelled.
"AAAAUGH!boom"
"SIT!SIT!SIT!SIT!"
and so on.
"Wow, and they say the Kazekage is a demon…" one of the ninja chuckled.
"What? Your people is ruled by a demon?" Miroku asked.
"well, more like a Jinchuruki." The other one responded in a cold, metal voice.
"Jinchuruki? A kid demon? So demons do have litters!" Shippo happily said, like he was proving something.
"Anyway. I am sango, of the demon slayers. This is Miroku, a(not so) Holy monk, Shippo, one of our companions, Kagome, a young miko, and my pet is named Kirara." Sango introduced everyone.
"oooh… and who is that in the red Kimono, trying to mimick a mole?" The joyful ninja chuckled again(stick with me here: there are two of them, Joyful and Stoic. Like Naruto and Sasuke. I won't bother using their name, they won't be there too long), pointing at Inuyasha who was still i headfirst in the ground.
"that's Inuyasha. Don't mind him, he's naturally rude." Kagome said.
"mmmmh!Mmh…mmhh!" Inutyasha bellowed.
"Kagome, I think you went too far this time…" Shippo said.
"No way! He said I was Ugly!"
Then there was the sound of someone clearing his throat. All turned to Stoic ninja.
"I am sorry to interrupt this entertaining group scene, but I think we have to move if we want to get to Sunagakure some time soon." He said that with a REEAALY bored voice.
So they did move on, after pulling Inuyasha out(poor guy…). The walk took several gruesome hours that flied by quickly. Jokes and stories where told. The group learned about the Ninja ranks and basic History lessons. Their guides where two ANBU members from the sand, on frontier guard duties. They feared about a mysterious organization that they did not name because it was classified intel. The current Kazekage, Sabaku no Gaara, had been the youngest Kage in History. He had been named after his father was killed in a short conflict with The Leaf village, fifteen years ago.
"Wow, so the Kazekage must be really strong!" Shippo said.
"Really strong? Gaara-sama has more confirmed kills than the entire Anbu division!" The stoic Ninja said, now interested in the conversation.
"meh… another Killing machine… You think I should introduce him to sesshomaru?" Inuyasha joked.
"Yeah, right. Like you could do that on your own power…" Kagome said.
"HEY!"
"I was joking! Geez, work on your sense of humor!" Kagome said while sweatdropping.
The group passed the last Hill and they stood before the Immense wasteland. Dunes dotted the landscape and the sun was setting in a shower of crimson red colors that flooded their visions.
"Welcome to Kaze no kuni. The heat is near unbearable in the middle of the day, Deadly animals run amongst the moonlit dunes and sandstorms are common. But nothing beats our sunset." Joyful ninja said.
Everyone was dumbstruck. They had never realized how beatiful of a sight the sunset could be. Miroku stood close to sango and hadn't gotten slapped yet, Inuyasha's mouth was gaping like a valley and Kagome's eyes sparkled like a fangirl that had seen the Uchiha Naked. A small encampment could be seen not too far.
"come on. You don't want to be in the desert at night. The outpost isn't far." Stoic said.
"Oh, and here, put these on!" Joyful said handing everyone scarves.
After a short desert trek, they arrived at a remote Oasis(is that the way you say it? Or is it oase?). Many caravans stood there and there was three small building. One was a shinobi base, the other was an Inn and the other one was a Restaurant. Children ran around playing and some low ranking nins on a D-ranked mission where there with their sensei.
"This is where we part ways. We have to go back to Suna to report in. Here, this should be enough for the night and meals." The joyful ninja said, handed Sango 3000 Ryos and disapeared in a puff of smoke, along with his partner.
Everyone felt exhausted and decided to check in, then grab a bite and go to sleep. The Inn was called 'desert Emerald' and was quite cozy. Two young teenagers managed it and they where both kind and(to Miroku's joy) cute. Things got a little out of hand at the local Diner. Inuyasha and Shippo got in a fight, and, well, shippo accidently threw a rice ball in someone else's plate. But it wasn't any plate.
It was a Bandit's.
"Hey you! What the hell was that for?" one of them asked.
"yeah, now where gonna have to tear ya appart!" another asked.
"relax, kiddos. It'll be short and painless… or not, hehehehe…." The last one said.
The group stiffened and readied themselves for a barroom brawl.
"not if we can help it!"
Everyone turned to the door, and three kids wearing ninja outfits and metal Hitai-ate on their forehead.
"You think where scared by a bunch of runts? Go back to the nursery, pipsqueaks!" one of the bandits yelled.
Then the door open, and the Bandits Gasped in plaint horror.
"I don't appreciate people criticizing my students. It makes me look weak, which I am most certainely not." A female voice stated.
