Chapter III

(The legend of Kyren)

"Myoga, that stupid flea," said Inuyasha, "Just wait till I get

My hands on him." "Now Inuyasha," said Kagome, "So what

If he hadn't got the ingredients to the spell wrong." "So What? So

What?" he hollered, " Since that half-witted Myoga got the

Ingredients wrong he sent Kyren's reincarnation somewhere

and we don't know where." Kagome's face turned red with

anger, "Stop yelling at me." "Or what?" he said. She smiled

evilly, "This what. SIT BOY!" Inuyasha crashed down to the

ground. "Ka--gome." he said with his face in the ground, "Will

you stop that?" "Not till you show a little respect," she

answered. Sango and Miroku stayed a long ways behind

them. "Will they ever grow up?" asked Miroku. Sango

shrugged and looked into the sky where Kirara was circling

trying to find this girl. Sango liked at the two arguing, "You

two arguing isn't gonna help us find her." But it was unheard

by Kagome saying "Sit Boy" over and over again and

Inuyasha's head hitting the ground. Miroku ran and covered

Kagome's mouth, "Stop you'll kill him." Sango walked up

and help Inuyasha up. "Ok, you two we have to find this girl

before Naraku does," she lectured, "Now grow up and let's

go." Miroku let go of Kagome's mouth and Sango helped

Inuyasha walk and they set off to find the girl.

Sesshomaru laid the girl on her side. "Will she live?"

Rin asked helplessly. He looked at Jaken, "Take her out of

here." Jaken grunted, but grabbed Rin, "Wait," she said,

"Lord Sesshomaru, is she gonna be alright?" He pushed

them out of the hut and closed the curtain. "I don't know,

Rin." He walked over to the girl and dropped down onto one

knee, The he called over his shoulder, "Jaken." Jaken came

in, "Rin's by the stream, you want me to dispose of the girl?"

Sesshomaru shot a dangerous glare at him, "Water." Jaken

shot up and ran, "Yes my lord, right away my lord." At the

stream he filled a pot with water, all the time grumbling,

"Stupid human, don't see why he won't let me dispose of

her." Rin heard and snuck up behind him. "This will teach

you to call humans stupid, Eeeeyaaa!" She brought her leg

up and kick him in the back, knocking him in the stream. He

shot out of the water, sputtering water, "Why you litt..." he

started but Rin had already walked away. He grumbled as

he got out of the water. He ran to the hut and laid the pot

beside Sesshomaru, "Anything else my lord?" Sesshomaru

placed a piece of cloth in the water. His silence told Jaken to

leave, so he scurried out of the hut. Sesshomaru scooted

closer to the unconscious girl, the blood started seeping

through her shirt. He ripped the shirt opened in the back, so

he could clean the wounds. She flinched as he laid the cool

strips onto her back. "How did she survive three or four

blows to the back," he thought, "She can't be a regular

human, she has a distinguish scent, but I can't identify it."

"Lord Sesshomaru," Rin interrupted his thoughts, "Is she

ok?" Sesshomaru looked at Rin and gave a slight smile, but

as quickly as it appeared it vanished. "I don't

know,Rin. Leave." "But..." began rin, but Sesshomaru glared

at her and said, "No buts, Leave I say." Rin ran out of the

hut. He checked her breathing and it was very shallow. He

took the Tenseiga out, drawing it above his head, but he

stopped, "Wait" he thought, "If I save her now, I'll never

know what she is." He placed Tenseiga back in its holster,

then stood up and went to the corner. As he sat down he

thought, " This is one battle she will have to fight on her

own." He watched as the girl sweated and fought to stay

among the living.

"Kaede, what is the tale of this girl?" asked Shippo.

"Well you all know the story of Priestess Midoriko and

how Kikyo came to possess the Shikon Jewel. But, what you

don't know is my sister Kikyo had a friend named Kyren.

(Flashes to the past) Kikyo met Kyren when she was

fighting a wolf demon, who had taken Kyren's younger

sister. The wolf demon was after the Shikon Jewel, as they

fought a girl jumped out of the forest. It was Kyren, who had

come to collect her sister. My sister told her to stay out of

the way. But, Kyren would hear nothing of it, she attacked

the demon and rescued her sister. After that Kikyo and

Kyren were unrepeatable and Kyren helped my sister

protect the Shikon Jewel. But like all good thing it had to

come to an end. One day a dog demon tried to steal the

Shikon Jewel, both my sister and Kyren fought to protect it.

But the dog demon had a little surprise, he had a buddy

hidden in the bushes armed with a bow and arrow. Kyren

saw the archer aim the arrow at Kikyo and pushed her out of

the way. But, in doing so she took the arrow in her chest. By

the time we arrived and chased the away, it was too late to

save Kyren. Kikyo made a promise to find the dog demon

and avenge Kyren's death, but she never found him."

(Back to the present) "So you see, Inuyasha," said

Kaede, "That is why Kyren is so important." Inuyasha let out

an impatient sign, "That was a waste of my time you Old

Hag." Miroku looked astonish at him, "We've got to find her."

"Why?" asked Inuyasha, "I can help Kagome find the Jewel

Shards. We don't need another person to drag along. We're

already slow with these two tagging along," he pointed at

Kagome and Shippo. Kagome's face turned beet red, "

Inuyasha..." she said angrily. He flinched knowing what was

about to happen. "SIT BOY!" He crashed to the ground.

Sango started laughing, " You'll never learn will you,

Inuyasha?" He grumbled something unintelligently, with his

head still buried in the ground. Kaede looked at the gang,

"Rest now for morning will be coming soon." They all

settled down, not knowing what tomorrow would bring.
