Title: Kit slayer of generals Written by: Shaun witt

"Kit are you awake?" Mai asked.

Kit opened the door to his room and looked mai in the face, "Yeah. Are you about ready to leave?"

"Yeah." Mai said holding her bag.

Kit walked over to his bed and grabbed a small bag the the head priestess gave to him. Walking out the door they both headed towards the exit.

As the two of them walked outside, they looked off to their right and saw the priestess training with their bows. The head priestess noticed them and called them over.

"Leaving us so soon?" She asked.

"Yeah. Lord Sesshoumaru wants me back at headquarters." Kit replied.

Kit was watching the girls shooting their arrows at diffrent targets placed at diffrent distances. One of the girls was aiming at a target partly hidden by some brush, she missed.

"Sorry head priestess." The girl said.

"It is ok, That target is hard to hit." She replied.

Kit walked over and picked up a spare bow and a single arrow. Placing the arrow onto the bow he took aim. He closed his eyes, in his mind he pictured the target being something he hated.

He released the arrow and it flew threw the air towards the target. The arrow may not have hit dead center but it came very close to it.

"How you do that?" One girl asked.

"Can you show me how to do it?" Another asked.

"Girls allI did was picture the target in my mind and me hitting it." Kit told them.

All of the girls began to try shooting the same target now. Kit shook his head and walked towards the barrier with Mai behind him.

"Kit how did you really do that?" The head master asked.

"I just got lucky, that's all." he replied.

"Priestess, we have trouble coming." a man said running up to her.

"What is it?" the head priestess replied.

"Naraku's demons are searching for this place. They are getting closer." the man said.

Kit noticed the blood dripping down his arm, "They can track him by his blood trail. We need to get your girls out of here."

"There is a secret passageway underneth the shrine." she replied.

"MaiI want you to go with them. Take the jewel with you." Kit told her.

"WHh about you?" Mai asked.

"I will do my best to hold them off to give the girls a chance to escape." He replied to Mai and looked at the priestess, "Is there anyway to collapse the tunnle?"

"Yes there is but then you would be trapped here." She replied.

"Where does the tunnle end?" he asked.

"Two miles west of here." she said.

"Don't worry,I will make it." Kit said.

The barrier was being attacked now and the priestess sounded the alarm. The girls grabbed what they could carry and ran into the shrine. as they escaped Kit made his stand.

Kit left the barrier and attacked the demons. There where more demons then he thought. But he continued to fight with everything he had.

"Do you think Kit made it out of there alive?" One girl asked.

"I'm not sure anyone even with a jewel could face that many demons." another said.

"Don't say that.he will make it." Mai told them.

It was starting to get dark when the head priestess stared off into the distance, "A jewel is aproaching us."

"Kit?" Mai asked turning around.

"Yeah." Kit said stubbleing out of the woods.

"Your hurt." Mai jumped up and went to help him.

"I'm fine." Kit looked at the priestess and tossed her a small piece of cloth with something in it. "Can u purifie that?"

She opened it up, "It so dark." upon touching it it became purafied.

"How did u get that?" Mai asked.

"Lets sayI would have been here sooner ifI didn't have to fight one of Naraku's generals." Kit replied.

Kit laid against a tree and drifted off to sleep.

"He really did give everything he could then." The priestess said.

"Why you say that?" Mai asked.

"The only generalI know from this area, is very mean and rather evil." she replied.

The next morning they continued moving. They came to a small town where the girls got transport to the next base.

When everyone saw Kit they began to cheer and they would run up to him to shake his hand.

"Thank you for killing that general." one person would say.

"Three cheers for Kit the slayer of generals." Another said.

Kit shuck there hands. He knew that this was a happy moment in their lives and did not want to spoil it.
