Chapter 8
Issues
A figure with short unkempt hair strolled out of the shadows what looked to be a spear rested on his back. A emerald snake skin wrapped around his chest forming a tankish kind of top a black sash lay around his middle it held up black armor that wrapped around his thighs protecting the vital areas. He wore kimono pants under that it looked grimy and it was smeared with different types of blood.
Sango released her hold on Inuyasha causing him to tip sideways from the sudden weight added to his injured knee he hit the floral earth with a hefty thud.
"Told you, you weren't going anywhere" his coal black eyes danced mischievously. He twisted around so he could face the additional members that resided in the clearing. His back now turned to both Inuyasha and Sango, which was a mistake on his part which he'd soon find out.
"So 'Sesshy' what's you been up to? Wait let me guess" he smiled sarcastically "recruiting new members to join your little shard hunting patrol." He gestured to the two demons that stood behind him "Let me guess you failed your mission the least you could of done was choose some one who is taller then a fence post look how short that one is I mean Naraku could use him as a tooth pick."
Hiei took offense he snarled no one and I mean no one made fun of his size and lived to see another day with those lightning fast reflexes he possessed he flew forward knocking a stunned snake youkai to the ground pressing his blade against the throat of his victim causing a small cut to appear.
"Small am I well it seems that I'm tall enough to take you down" growling he pushed his sword further down immobilizing the demon where he lay.
"Give me two reasons why I shouldn't kill you right now" he threatened putting more pressure to the youkai's neck causing more blood to erupt like a fountain.
"I have a message" he said coolly shaking off his initial shock. He casually moved his hand up reaching for the end of the spear.
"Don't move" the intruder froze inches away from the spear.
"Heh Heh" he laughed awkwardly
"And your second reason"
"O right you wanted two reasons hm….."
Hiei glared down at the man loathing every feature from his black hair to his bare feet. He himself was a man of little words and expressed himself with his actions why'll this man shot his mouth off talking a mile a minuet. "I'll take it from here" said a feminine voice.
He turned around Sango pushed him aside not waiting for a reply she kneeled down in front of the downed demon glaring daggers at him she grabbed him by the collar of his snake skinned shirt lifting him up so he had no where else to look but her eyes. "Why can't you ever think about anybody but yourself always doing stuff that benefits you never thinking about the consequences" she took a breath trying to calm herself down not succeeding in any way. "Your working with him now aren't you what's he giving a shard or something? Just give us the message Torren and be on your way or I will let him kill you if I don't do it personally."
Maybe it was the aggression in her voice that got everyone staring at her or maybe something else she didn't care. All she cared about was suppressing the blood lust that was threatening to consume her after seeing the traitor.
"O right the message" he said quickly losing his cockiness and cutting straight to business "Straight to the point your brothers still alive you have two weeks for a decision yada yada yada you know what he means by that O yeah if he doesn't like your answer the sentence is death meet him at the shikuriyu shrine if you want more details yeah well nice talking to you bye."
He tried getting up but she pushed him right back down "your not going any where with this" she said.
Sango Pov
I see it right there she thought looking down at his right arm where a purple light was shimmering right below the surface of his skin. Using her pointer finger and her thumb she dug them into his flesh making him yelp out of pain. She drew back her hand in it lay a purple shard covered in blood. "So this is what he gave you" she stared at it as she rolled it over and over again in her hand every time it turned over it changed shades till a white glow was emitting from her palm.
"What did who give him" Kurama asked coming to stand behind her so he could see what was in her hand and what he saw made his mind whirl.
'Would people just mind there own business these people don't even know what there up against or what's going on anymore sure I gave them a summary but do they truly know? shoot I didn't even tell them I had the shikon jewel in my possession boy won't they be pissed when they find out.'
Normal POV
"What is it Fox?"
"The jewel he had part of the jewel" he stammered he reached down to touch it 'amazing I thought I'd never see one what great power it must contain' youko was talking excitedly in the back of his head asking Kurama to allow him to the conscious world.
"No" he said flatly back. His hand still outstretched still in the control of the impatient kitsune. Kurama could feel his need to grab the gem and run but stifling the urge quickly. His hand was still extended when he noticed sango eyeing him warily no emotions could be seen only tiredness.
'Why is she looking at me like that? I thought she trusted us' he let his hand drop looking at her puzzlingly 'women are confusing' youko put in.
"What do you think your doing this doesn't belong to you?" she addressed no hint of anger in her voice just dullness which made his insides squirm.
Kurama was taken a back 'is she talking to me? what did I do I didn't do anything to offend her did I' his thoughts broke apart when a gruff voice answered.
"Hn doesn't belong to you either."
"More to me then you" she retorted hand now clenched around the jewel hiding it from view.
Kurama turned around sure enough the forbidden child was reaching out for the gem as if to grab it or tear off Sango's wrist.
"Look wench we were assigned to take care of the jewel that's why we're here in the first place" he snarled.
"Look" she stood up poking him in the chest with her index finger "I don't care who assigned you to hunt down the shards and I definitely don't care what you think your role is in the future of the jewel of the four souls is. All I now is that I'm its holder the bearer of the curse that it posses and I'll be the one who finally breaks it."
Hiei looked at her funny he wanted to say something but couldn't he was registering what she just said. It computed with in an unconscious part of his mind 'bearer of the jewel she says?' so is she the one we were looking for? Probably if not she knows way to much about it to be a coincidence.
'Should we trust her?' he asked himself it was a minuet before he knew his answer 'no' he wasn't going to trust her. Sango hadn't shown him one thing that could prove that she was trustworthy sure she told them she was a half-demon so what it might not of been true who heard of a spring changing into a hanyou.
He considered the possibilities all of which ended up with her lying in some way. For now he just had to concentrate on getting a portion of the jewel.
"You'd better rethink your priority's would you rather hand it over and live? Or keep it and I kill you?"
"And I thought you were my friend" she huffed "Don't you think I have a reason for wanting to keep it?"
"No I don't" he stated simply.
"Well I see I caught you at a bad I time I delivered my message so sayanora" he turned for the second time trying to escape unnoticed in the heat of there argument forgetting about Sesshomaru and Inuyasha who still sat on the floor where he had fallen over when Sango released him.
Sesshomaru being the closest was about to head him off when a new voice broke threw out the clearing.
"Where do you think your going" asked the new voice. A guy with greasy black hair came up and socked the youkai on the nose. Sending him speeding into the ground leaving him unconscious.
Yusuke entered the clearing tailed by Kagome and Kuwabara the rest showed up a minuet latter huffing and puffing. The group looked from Hiei to Sango both their fists were clenched and slowly turning white. Kurama was still kneeling in-between them looking awkward prepared to stop any fight that might brake lose.
"Hey Sango you ok? Where's Inuyasha?" Kagome yelled
"Use your eyes wench" Sesshomaru replied
Only with closer inspection did any of them notice Inuyasha lying on the floor only a few yards away from the heated argument. He sat there struggling to get to his feet with the help of his newly returned tentsiaga as a support beam.
"Inuyasha are you back to normal" Shippou asked innocently from his perch on Miroku's shoulder.
"Of course I am do you see me trying to kill you?" he questioned dryly still trying to get up.
Kagome rushed to his aide she took a hesitant glance to the two squabbling people who were currently having a glaring contest before bending down to help him up. Only to be stopped by Inuyasha resting his hand against her shoulder preventing her from getting any closer. "I don't need any help but I think she dose" he pointed behind her she turned and took in Sango's appearance for the first time.
It seemed at the same time the rest of the clearing members eyes were bugging out one at a time or at least the male half. Even Hiei who did a double take when he noticed what she was wearing couldn't help but gape inwardly he blinked once. "Ha you blinked I win" sango stated triumphantly you could tell she forced the smile out as if it was paining her just to keep up the façade even in her victory.
She looked around noticing about 9 sets of eyes looking at her "When did you guys get here?" she asked moving away from the fire youkai towards a shell shocked Kagome.
"Hello Kagome what are you looking at?" she waved her hand up and down in front of her friends face not getting any response.
"Put on some clothes" he said bluntly.
"Excuse me?" she turned around facing Hiei who was the only one brave enough to voice what everyone else was thinking about.
"You heard me."
She took a moment to look down at herself her facial features could pass as being indifferent but her insides were squirming uncomfortable. Her clothing or what was left of them lay in tatters across her body the forest green hoari lay across her chest revealing the cleavage Inuyasha had seen previously. The sleeves were now bunched up around her wrists after being brutally attacked and shredded. Her pants looked pretty decent a little slits here and there now crusted with blood.
"This was a new kimono to" she whined uncharacteristicly 'at least it isn't as bad as the time I had to face naraku she shuttered at the thought. When she had fought with him all she had left were ripped up pants.
"Sango are you OK because you sure don't look it" Kagome asked quickly taking off her pink jacket and handing it to Sango so she could cover herself.
"Yeah I'm good" she didn't look at Kagome but rather around the field as if searching for something. "Now where did Torren get off too?"
"Who?"
"O right you wouldn't know him he's a jackass who only thinks of himself he is a conceited, good for nothing b…"
"I think we got the point" Yusuke cut in before she could prattle on any further. "And did you mean that guy he was kind of sneaking away" he jabbed his thumb behind him where an unconscious youkai lay.
"When I get my hands on him I swear I'll…." She was cut off for the second time today by none other than Yusuke "We now the drill don't worry" he sighed he liked girls with fiery spirits but hers was just exhausting him to no end if you can imagine that.
"You might not want to do that" sesshomaru stated "if we threaten him he will tell us where naraku's shards are."
"That means I can kill him latter right" she asked a little too hopefully.
He gave a ghost of a nod smirking inwardly 'that guy won't know what hit him.'
"Shards wait lady Sango does this mean you know where the Shikon jewel fragments are?" Miroku eyed her longly taking in her curves. He was to conspicuous with his ogling which led to three people two being youaki hitting him on the head knocking him across the clearing into a nearby tree leaving him with a concussion. Sesshomaru and Inuyasha were fuming inwardly after hitting the monk while Kagome was voicing her dislike.
"Miroku you perv" she yelled angrily
Sango stood in the background snickering slightly 'Miroku' she thought 'this was a free be do anything like this again and I'll be the one hitting you over the head.'
"Sango what about the shards" Kurama asked pleasantly returning to the old conversation "Where are th…" she put a finger to his lips quieting him at once as if she placed a spell on him.
"Not here" she motioned to them indicating they should follow her back to the village. On her way out she picked up the unconscious form of Torren she flung him across her left shoulder making sure not disturb any healing wounds and continued on her way.
The others were about to follow when they remembered the monk who hadn't woken up yet. So sesshomaru took the liberty in 'helping out' he kicked the unconscious form of Miroku making him roll away from the tree "get up" he said coolly kicking him again.
"Maybe I should carry him" Kurama politely intervened. Sesshomaru looked at him he didn't comment so Kurama took that as a yes. He hoisted the limp form over his shoulder swaying under the weight.
They all left the clearing following the female leader who was now way a head of everyone else.
In the village
When they had reached the village Kaede had immediately fussed over both Inuyasha and Sango's wounds "child what have ye done." They both shrugged not wanting to bring it up. She went back into the hut collecting the necessary herbs she was about to clean Sango's wounds when the taijiya stopped her.
"My wounds aren't deep I can tend to them fix up Inuyasha" she whispered the last part so the inu-hanyou wouldn't hear the old women nodded knowingly.
She went over to him and dressed his wounds with linens "you'll need to replace those clothing child" she turned to sango "I'm sorry dear but not even Kami himself could save ye clothing.'
Sango sighed sadly she and Sesshomaru had went to a village earlier that week to pick it out now it was ruined 'o well I'll get a new one tomorrow.'
After Kaede was done the group took refuge inside the hut cuddling around the fire pit sharing blankets with one another. Sango sat in the far corner with a blue blanket draped around her shoulders Sesshomaru once again sat beside her in a protective manner daring anyone to come close.
"Know what aren't you telling us" Inuyasha demanded
Sango looked up at him before answering. The look on her face made his insides freeze 'those eyes are not meant to keep emotion away' he thought feeling guilty for snapping at her. When she was happy he noticed an almost red tinge appeared in her eyes making them look like molten rock but now they were dull no life could be seen in them.
"Just for the record" she began quietly "I don't have to tell you anything but considering your friends I guess I'll make an exception."
"Well I guess it started when you …. You left to Kagome's world remember you didn't want to jeopardize her time so you left the quarter of the Jewel you collected in my possession. The reason I couldn't come along was you ordered me to watch the village until you returned when you didn't come back I decided the worst so I went off to search for the jewel and take down Naraku with Kilala."
"Here I'll show you I've collected quiet a few while you were gone" she dug in what was left of her pocket. She gasped when she didn't feel the little bottle which contained them she panicked she quickly looked threw the other one with no luck. 'O no I lost the shards' she yelled inwardly 'What do I do.'
"Sango?" Kagome asked "what's wroung?" All eyes were now transfixed on her wondering what could of sent her into a panic attack. Hiei had a pretty good idea what was wrong but didn't say anything.
"The shards there gone"
Cliff hanger
I don't like Kagome to much she'd be fine if she wasn't the main character I hate when girls are needy in these types of storys
