What Lies Beneath The Eyes: Chapter 3

I groaned as I tried to open my eyes. It took a surprising amount of effort, but I finally managed to open my eyes and was blinded by a warm light. I found myself in the same hut, I decided to sleep in for the night. I took a brief stretch, before standing up and walking towards the exit. "Come on, Kira. Let's go." The puppy I called Kira, jumped up with happiness and followed after me. As I exited out of the hut, I decided to do a little more exploring with this place and world that I'm in.

I walked around in the forest, examining everything that me and Kira crossed paths with. Everything around me seemed unusual and out of the ordinary. Tall trees, tall grass, and even animals that you don't usually see everyday. I trudged through a few trees and suddenly found myself in a place that looked like "wonderland". There were a field of different kind of flowers standing up from the grass, shining off their beauty. I stared in awe at the field. I slowly sauntered down towards it and slightly jumped when I felt how warm it was, not to mention soft. I sat down, while Kira laid on her paws, enjoying the silence. I watched as little birds danced with one another, beyond the light blue skies. I turned my attention away from the sky and towards Kira, who was resting peacefully on her paws. I gently laid a hand on her fur, expecting her to growl, or bite my hand off. However, she did none of the both. She only laid there peacefully, not really caring what I was doing. I gently stroked her fur to make her feel comfortable enough for her to be around me. I stared down at her, with sympathy in my eyes, when I found an almost faded scare in her fur and on her skin. Whatever happened to her, I'm pretty sure that it wasn't good. I carefully picked her up and gently hugged her to me, letting her know that I was here and not leaving. She seemed to understand my gesture as she licked my face.

After 30 more minutes, the two of us decided to head back to the village. As we walked, a woman came up to me, with a worried look. "There you are. Where have you been, we have been worried sick about you." I looked at her surprised. A human? Worried about me?

"I-"

"Come on. Let's go eat, you must be starving, right about now." The woman said, cutting me off. With that said, she gently tugged on my arm, dragging me behind her towards the hut, with Kira in tow. I suddenly felt a slight shiver within my body. Why do I have this sudden feeling that I'm being watched? I glanced behind me to see little green eyes staring at me back at me, from the darkness. I let out a gasp and quickly turned away, trying to avoid the emerald eyes that were both watching me. As the woman dragged me over towards her hut, I turned behind and saw the little green eyes vanished into the darkness.

Both Kira and I had finally finished devouring out meal, the woman and her family had made for us. I decided to take a walk through the village, to learn a bit more about this world and how they lived. I continued to walk through the village, when I heard someone talking from the other direction from us.

"I'm telling you guys! I saw a strange-looking girl, walking around the village with a wolf-pup by her side." said a voice, that sounded like a little kid.

"You sure you actually saw someone like that, or is it another one of your dumb stories?" said a gruff male voice.

"Inuyasha!" scolded a high cheery famine voice from inside the hut. "Shippo, do you know the girl's name? Do you know if, she's a demon, or not?" asked the famine voice.

"I don't know, but she sure was pretty. She had long, pink hair and was wearing clothes that looked exactly, like the ones you're wearing, Kagome. She didn't look evil, or anything. She seemed nice. She even helped treat a man's wound, with a smile on her face." said the voice, called Shippo. By now, I knew exactly who they were talking about; me.

"That's sounds interesting. But if she's in this village, then I'm guessing we should find her and find out who she is, so I can ask her a question." said a more manly voice, from inside.

"And what question would that be, monk?" said another strong female voice, that sounded angry and suspicious.

"Uh...nevermind." remarked the manly voice.

"So ye are saying, that this girl is probably from Kagome's time?" asked an old woman's voice. Why are they talking about me? What do they want with someone, like me? "If so, then you all shall find her and bring her to me. I wish to speak with her and find out for myself, if she's the person I've heard about." replied the woman's voice. I suddenly heard Kira growl and I quickly tried hushed her, not wanting to give us away.

"Who's there?" asked the strong female voice.

I quickly took this as my cue and fled away from the hut, and into the forest, Kira following behind me. Until I thought I was far away from the village, I hid behind the tree, pulling my hood over my head. Why were they talking about me? Why does that woman want to know so much about me? And how did she hear anything about me? Whatever it is, I didn't want to pose a crime to anyone. 'At least I'm safe for now.' I said through my head and let out a sigh of relief.

"Hiraikotsu!" yelled a female voice. I felt that the tree was about to fall on top of us, so I quickly jumped out of the way, saving me and Kira. Kira transformed into her large-self and growled at whoever attacked us. I looked up to see a giant boomerang flying in the other direction. I turned around to see a girl in a black outfit, with pink armor around it. She had blackish, brown hair in a high pony tail. I watched as her eyes widen in realization at the sight of me. "You're that girl, we were talking about, just now." I looked down, feeling ashamed of myself. She walked towards me as I backed away from her. "It's okay, We're not here to hurt you. We just want to talk." she explained, trying to sooth me a little. I tried to hide my eyes underneath my hood, trying not to make eye contact. "Can you tell me your name?" she asked and I gave a nod.

"M-My name is Moka." I stuttered out, feeling a little scared. I learned not to trust the people I come across.

The girl smiled. "My name is Sango, I am a demon slayer and I slay demons anytime they try to attack." she explained as four more people appeared behind her. One was a female, with long raven hair, that stop to her mid back, wearing a green and white sailor shirt and a green skirt. Her clothes were exactly like mine. On her shoulder was a cute little kid that, had orange-red hair tied in a blue bow, with a bushy yellow tail and green eyes. Next to him was a man, with black hair in a small low pony tail, wearing black and purple robes holding a golden staff. The last one who appeared 18, had long silver hair with beautiful golden eyes, wearing a red outfit with dog ears on top of his head. Wait...dog ears? What is he?

"Can you tell me what your name is, Miss and where you came from?" asked the man in purple robes, with a sweet smile.

I gave a small smile back. "My name is Moka and this is Kira." I introduced the two of us. I gestured to her to stop growling and she turned back into her original form. "I came from an old well. Some of you may not believe me, but that's exactly where I came from and it's only my first time here." I explained as everybody stared at me in deep interest.

The girl in the green skirt piped up and smiled at me "You came from the well, right?" she asked and I gave a nod. "I came from the well also. But something is strange. How did you know about the well?" she replied. I can't tell them that I had tried to commit suicide, otherwise they would think I'm crazy.

"Well...uhhhh." I trailed, trying to come up with an excuse. "Well I really don't know. But I never heard of the well." I lied. That was the first time I lied like that. I really didn't like to lie.

The girl just smiled at me. "Oh, sorry. Anyway, my name is Kagome. That woman over there, I see you already know, and this is Miroku, but watch where his hands wonder. He could be perverted sometimes. And the one with silver hair and dog ears is Inuyasha. Be careful he can be short-tempered with other people especially us." she explained and I gave a nod.

"Keh!" scoffed the guy called Inuyasha. He really is handsome for a strange-looking guy. I continued to stare at him, when he glared at me. "What? You gotta problem with me, or somethin'?" he growled.

I abruptly shook my head. "Inuyasha!" scolded Kagome. "Don't be rude at a time like this." Inuyasha scoffed and just turned his back towards us. "I'm sorry, you'll have to excuse him and his attitude. He could appear to have a bad temper, but he could be a softy."

I smiled at Kagome. "It's no problem."

I suddenly felt a small weight jump on my shoulders. I glanced down to see little pair of green eyes, looking up at me with a cheery smile on his face. "I'm Shippo, you're pretty." he said as I felt something small and fury rub against my leg. I looked down to see a small golden white fury cat, with two tails and red eyes looking up at me. "Oh and that's Kirara. She transform into a giant cat for Sango when trouble comes around." he replied as I knelt to pet the small feline called Kirara. I stroked her softly as she let out a 'meow'. She likes me, I think I'm good with other animals. "Are you gonna tag along with us?" asked Shippo with pleading eyes. "Please?" he begged.

I looked over to the silver-haired man, along with the group. "I don't care, just as long as she stays out of the way and slow us down, we'll be fine." he growled. I flinched at what he said.

"Okay."

We were heading back to the village, because someone named Kaede wanted to meet me in person. I followed them, when they stopped in front of an old hut. Kagome was the first to step inside, followed by the others. I was the last one and I step inside the hut, to see an old woman, wearing long red priestess pants and a white kimono, with an eye patch over her right eye. I couldn't help but feel sorry for the woman, because it looked as if she lost her eye, when she was young or something. Everybody took their seat as well as I did against the wall. The old woman turned her attention towards me as well as the others did. "Hello there, my name is Kaede and I see you know the others as well. Where did you come from? What's your name?" she asked me as I turned my face to look at her.

"My name is Moka. I came from the old dry well, when I was attacked by a demon. Then I traveled around in the forest and I headed here and that's when I heard you people talking about me coming from the other world, like Kagome." I explained and Kaede gave me a nod.

"So you came from the well, the same as Kagome. I see." replied Kaede. I was about to respond back, when I felt a hand on my backside. I looked around to find who was touching me. I looked behind me to see Miroku, who was touching me.

I let out a shriek. "Get your hands off me!" I screamed, pushing Miroku away from me. I instantly regretted it, when I saw what happened. He was embedded to the wall, swirly eyed. I had pushed him a little to hard. "Oh my goodness! Are you okay? I'm so sorry, I didn't mean for that to happen!" I apologized, not realizing my strength.

"Oh man. That has really gotta hurt!" Shippo exclaimed in awe as the others around me laughed, especially Inuyasha.

"I'm sorry, Miroku. It...It's just..." I stuttered, trying to find the right words."I hate perverts." I pouted, with a blush.

Inuyasha smirked down at the monk. "Serves you right, monk. Maybe you'll think next time, before groping her again. Aright,everyone. Lt's get some rest. We have a long day ahead of us tomorrow." said Inuyasha as he leaned against the wall with his sword in his arms and closed his eyes as everyone else did the same. I silently closed my eyes, letting dreams take over.

There's chapter 3. And for my reviewer who, has been waiting ages for an InuyashaxMoka pairing, you're welcomed. I always wanted to write a pairing like this. And I'll try to make a longer chapter next time. Just so you know, Kira is a little like Kirara in another way. I'm thinking about pairing Kagome up with Sesshomaru, since Inuyasha is bound to be takened by Moka. Tell me what you like about the story I'm writing and if you have any ideas, PM me.
