Chapter Seven:……
There is no frigate like a book
To take us lands away,
Nor any coursers like a page
Of prancing poetry.
This traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of toll;
How frugal is the chariot
That bears a human soul!
Made by Emily Dickinson.
The king was pacing back and forth, his daughter has been
missing for a week and was sure to be dead by all the
kingdom's standards. But he was not going to give up. He
sent a messenger to a team of demon trackers in hopes of
their help. He didn't know if they would be able to help or
not, but it was worth a try. Anything was worth a try to
get his daughter back. "Sir, the trackers are here. Should
I send them in?" one of the servants asked. "Yes Michael,
send them in." was the reply. Several minutes later two
people came in. "You're the trackers?" asked the king. "Yes
we are. Now how may we help you?" they asked. "My daughter
went missing one week ago and I want you to get her back."
said the king. "Where did she go missing and why?" they
asked. "She ran into the "Forbidden Forest" and hasn't come
back, and the reason she ran was because she did not want
to marry her fiancé." The king stated. The two trackers
exchanged looks. "Sir you do know that your daughter is
most likely dead?" the male tracker asked. When he said
that it made everything finally hit home. He new his
daughter was more then likely dead, but he wanted to find
her even if she was. At this time he looked at the
trackers. They weren't wearing what you would call
tracker's clothes, but they were said to be the best in the
kingdom. The male was wearing what looked like a monk
outfit and was holding a staff the ringlets on it. He
didn't look like he could hurt a fly. Now the other, the
female was a whole different story. She was wearing a body
tight suit that was black a pink. She was holding something
that looked like a giant boomerang and had a katana on her
waist. Her hair was up in a high ponytail. She looked like
she could take on an army and win. "I know she might be
dead, but I still want to bring her home." Said the king.
"If there is anything left of her to bring home." Said the
monk under his breath. "OK well we will do our best to find
your daughter and bring her home safe and sound." Said the
female. "Thank you. I would like to invite you to dinner as
thanks, along with pay of course." Offered the king. The
woman was about the object when the monk intervened. "We
would love to join you in a dinner your Majesty." He said.
"Well follow me." They got into the dining room just as the
food was being served. Sitting at the table was a woman, a
boy and several other guests. The king sat down between
the woman and boy and offered the seats next to the woman
to them. "Hello my name is Hitome and this is my son
Souta." Said the queen. "It is very nice to meet you, your
Majesty. My name is Sango and this is my partner and
husband Moroku." Said Sango. "Do you think you will be able
to find our daughter?" asked the queen. "We hope so your
Majesty, we hope so." Said Moroku.
After dinner everyone retired to their rooms. Moroku and
Sango were given their own room to stay in until they
gathered everything they would need. The king and queen
were and little happier now that they had some help in
finding their daughter, and when the king and queen were
happy everyone was happy. "Do you think we will be able to
find her?" Sango asked. "I don't know Sango, but I really
hope if we do that she is alive." Said Moroku in return.
After that there was no more talking. They settled down in
their bed just like everyone else for the night.
The next day Moroku and Sango got up before sunrise to beat
the morning shoppers at the market. They wanted and needed
to get the best supplies for their trip. They got there
just before sunrise; the shopkeepers were just opening
their stores. Moroku pointed out a food stall. They were
definitely going to need food. Sure they could hunt, but
were they were going its more then likely that all the
demons ate the creatures living there. They bought some
fruit, meat, and some staple items. Never know what you
will need out in THAT forest. Next they went to a supply
store. They bought rope, fishing line and hooks and
sinkers, and they bought knife sharpeners. Everything else
they needed they already had or the castle provided. When
they got back to the castle, they packed everything into
two packs. Moroku walked out of their room and headed down
the stairs. The king and queen were waiting for them at the
bottom of the stairs. "We were wondering if want to be paid
beforehand or after?" asked the queen. "We would like to be
paid after since there is a likely chance that…" Moroku
never did finish that sentence do to the fact that the
queen started crying and Sango elbowing him in the ribs.
Man! Can she pack a punch! "We will be back as soon as
possible with your daughter, your Majesties." Said Sango.
After the goodbyes and promises, Sango and Moroku left to
set out on their new journey.
Inuyasha awoke to the sun shining on his face and an angel
laying on his lap. Inuyasha shook Kagome awake. "Kagome it
is time to get up." He said. Kagome woke up a minute later.
She looked up into his eyes and thought she was still
dreaming. To Inuyasha's surprise Kagome started crying.
"HEY! What's wrong!" asked Inuyasha; He didn't know why she
was crying she just started crying for no reason. Kagome
pounced on him. "I thought you were dead! I had a dream
that you bleed to death from your wounds and I was left
here all by myself." Cried Kagome. Inuyasha stared at her
for a minute. He didn't know if she was upset because she
was left here alone or because he was dead in her dream.
"She probably just sad because I was dead in her dream and
she was afraid she was going to get eaten." He thought.
"Whatever it doesn't matter to me anyway. Ounce I get her
back to the castle she will be out of my hair. Who cares if
she wants me dead, not like she can kill me anyway." Kagome
noticed he got a weird look on his face, then picked her up
and said, "I'm going hunting be back in a little bit. Stay
quiet while I am gone or your going to get yourself
killed." Kagome was surprised by his tone of voice. "Did I
say something wrong?" she wondered.
