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.
