here you go! chapter 4! sorry it took so long! i wrote it by hand, but it takes a while to type it all.
He's getting annoying. He's trying to help... I wonder why he's being nice to me.
I laid down in my sleeping bag. First, he made me my food, now he's helping me move. What's next? Him giving me breakfast in bed and helping me get up? Whatever...
"Wake up!"
Woah! What happened?
"Good morning! I have breakfast for you!" Sora said giving me a plate with fish on it.
Oh my God!
"Let me help you up!"
"Okay!That's enough!" I yelled. Sora stepped back.
"Why are you being so nice?" I said softening my voice.
"You're hurt." He said plainly.
"No, I'm not."
"No, I'm not," he mimicked, "Give me a break! You were stabbed right through the stomach!"
"Let me show you."
I lifted up my shirt slightly to shhow my side.
"Where is it?" Sora asked.
"I told you. My body is special." I said plainly.
"Lift your shirt higher..."
"You pervert!" I yelled gathering the plates my brothers and Hitomi left around before they went fishing.
"I wasn't talking about pulling it that high!" Sora said rubbing his head where I smacked it.
"Hey, they left their bows and arrows." I said.
I've always wanted to try the bow...
I fit the arrow in the bow and shot.
Man, it went straight down...
I heard laughing behind me.
"What's so funny?" I asked.
"You suck."
"Well, then you shoot the arrow."
"Okay, where?"
"Up there," I said, pointing to an apple high above the ground.
Sora fit an arrow and shot.
Bullseye! No way!
"Forget it," I whispered taking the bow.
I fit an arrow but was stopped by:
"Your posture's wrong."
Sora put his arm around my body and fixed my arm, Controling my hand, he fit an arrow, pulled back and made my hand release. The arrow flew perfectly into the apple.
"Uh, thanks." I said.
"What are you guys doing?"
I turned around and my face turned pale.
My brothers!
Sora stepped away from me.
"Hey Hitomi."
"What?"
"Did it look weird?"
"What? the chemistry between you and Sora?"
"There was no chemistry!"
"Hey, you asked,"
"I said, 'Did it look weird'?"
"It was akward."
I sighed.
He did seem sincere. Exept when he said that I sucked.
"Can you hurry?!" Sora yelled across his shoulder. He's back to his old self.
"Hey Sora, back there-"
"There was nothing."
"Good. By the way, your hands are really warm." I said. I looked at his face. He's red! Wow! Does he like me??
"What are you staring at? If you got something to say, then say it!
Never mind...
"Hey, wait. Can we stop by my grandma's house?"
"Fine. What village is she in?" Sora asked.
"Uh, she doesn't live here." Inoue said.
"The Bone Eaters!" I screamed joyfully.
"She likes the other side?" Sora asked.
"Come with me!" I said grabbing Sora's hand.
"What-No! Let go!"
"Too late!" I laughed as we fell into the well.
"What's so special? It's a well."
"We have to climb up, idiot."
We got on top. It was a sunny day.
"Yay!" I squealed.
"Hey Kikyo!"
"Oh no! My friends!" I whispered.
"What's wrong?" Sora asked.
"I have dog ears and you have a tail."
"So?"
"Read my lips, 'There are no demons in this era."
"What?"
"Oh my God. Come on. Walk backwards!"
I pushed him around and tried acting natural.
"Hey. Uh, guys. I'm busy. So, come back later!" My friends stopped in their tracks and looked at each other. "Bye!"
"Grandma?"
"Kikyo? Back already?" Grandma walked into the living room and saw Sora.
"Who's your friend?" She asked warmly.
"Great, now old humans." Sora whispered.
"Sit."
"Kikyo!"
"Excuse him Grandma. His name is Sora."
"Well, what do you need?"
"I was wondering. Do you still have my old bike?"
"A what?" Sora asked looking at me.
"Sure. I kept it just in case." Grandma walked out.
"What's a bi-ke?"
"You'll see."
"I don't like surprises. This necklace for instance."
"Sora, just shut it."
"Fine, but just cause I don't want you to say-"
"Sit?" Ooops... That was an accident...
"Sorry, I didn't mean to say Sit" Uh, another mistake...
"Sorry-"
"Just shut up."
"Hmph, I was just gonna apolozize for saying-"
"Shut up!"
"Here you go Kikyo." Grandma walked in with my bike.
"What the hell is that?"
"Sora, it's very useful."
"What's wrong with walking?"
"Just shut it." I lift the bike into the well and jumped down with Sora holding on.
"Took you long enough."
I tossed the bike out and tried helping Sora up.
"I can do it myself." Why is he acting like this?
"Sora?"
"What?" He asked irritated.
"You want to sit on the back?
"So, did you figure out what you felt yesterday?" Sora asked.
"No, but I think it's the Sacred Jewel shard. But I don't know. If I get the next one right, then it is."
"Like you'll get it."
"My mother told me that she could sense the Sacred Jewel shards. And why are you so negative?"
"I'm sorry you're just not that useful."
"I killed both demons yesterday. Remember?" God, why is he so mean? Focus. Where are the Sacred Jewel shards? Wait. I feel something. Is it a shard?
"Kikyo! Stop!" What?
I looked forward and smacked into a tree.
"I've never riden a bike, but I think you shouldn't hit trees." Sota said laughing at me.
"That's it!"
Everyone looked taken aback.
"Inoue. Sota. Leave. Now!"
"But you need our help."
"No, I don't."
"We want to be here." Inoue tried.
"I don't."
"Fine." Inoue said.
Sota continued to stare at me as Inoue started walking. Sota finally turned and ran to catch up with Inoue.
"Ouch. That was mean." Hitomi said.
"Come on. I felt something." I picked up my bike and started riding again.
"Kikyo? Are you okay?"
"Leave me alone Sora."
"I'm trying to help."
"You're not."
"But-"
"I think you should just shut up now." Hitomi said from my bike basket. Sora turned his head.
"You're acting really mean Kikyo." Hitomi said.
"Hitomi please be quiet."
Hitomi nodded his looked forward. I feel the shard. It's getting closer.
"Are you sure it's coming from in there?" Hitomi gulped.
We all looked into the dark cave. I'm positive it's coming from in there.
"I'm going in. Hitomi. Sora. You can stay out here." I said walking into the cave.
"Great call." Hitomi said.
"Wait!"
I turned around. He grabbed my hand and we started walking. "Uh, why are you holding my hand?"
"Because, this cave is pitch black. I don't want you getting lost and I have to save you." Sora replied.
"You have no sensitive bone in your body." I murmured.
"I heard that."
"Good."
We kept walking for what seemed like hours following my direction to the feeling.
"What's that?" Sora asked.
"What's what?"
"That light. Don't you see it?" I looked and squinted until I saw it.
"Oh, the light?"
"That's what I said." I let go of his hand.
"What are you doing?"
"Running!" I yelled back over my shoulder. I heard fast footsteps behind. Knowing it was Sora, I didn't look back. The light got bigger and bigger until we were outside.
"Are you sure we didn't go in a giant circle?" Sora asked.
"I'm sure. Where's Hitomi?" Obviously we're on another side...
"I feel it. It's strong." I walked and stopped in a field of flowers.
"Awww... They're so colorful!" I jumped and lay down in the flowers.
"Hello? Earth to Kikyo! The Sacred Jewel shard?"
"Oh, just relax!" I grabbed Sora's hand and pulled him down.
"Ow! Kikyo! I think you pulled me down on thorns!"
"Oh. Very manly!" I laughed.
"Also, you've could've pulled my shoulder out. You pull like a boy."
"Lighten up! It's beautiful!"
"Kikyo!"
"Look! A ladybug!"
"I don't think this is a field of flowers."
"What makes you say that?"
"Because. The whole thing is an illusion."
"What?"
"The demon. We're still in the cave."
"What are you talking about?"
"Trust me. See the cave." I sighed and closed my eyes.
"Okay. I'm thinking of the cave." I opened my eyes to find that we were just in a stinky, damp, cave.
"Ahhhh! My field of flowers!"
"Forget it."
"You owe me a day in flowers!"
"There's no promise."
"You ruin everything." I whispered.
"I heard that."
"Good!"
We kept walking until we came upon a room with a big, slimy thing at the top.
"What is that?" I asked in disgust.
"The heart."
"The heart?!?!" I sense something. Could it be a Sacred Shikon shard? I sense it in the center.
"Sora! I sense it in the center of the heart!"
"The center? Alright."
Sora took an arrow and fit it into his bow. He pulled back and released. "Alright Sora!"
The arrow hit the center, but just bounced off.
"What?" Sora yelled.
"Sora! Look out!"
Sora turned around and was attacked by a demon. I ran forward to help, but was stopped by another demon.
"Get out of my way!" I swung Tetsusaiga and cut the demon in hlaf. I jumped and swung the Tetsusaiga at the heart, but the blade bounced off. Like the arrow.
"The Tetsusaiga. It just bounced off." I said in disbelief. I turned to Sora, and saw him fighting the demon.
He looks cute fighting.
The demon hit Sora, and knocked him against the wall. "Sora!"
I ran up behind the demon and sliced horizontally. "Are you okay Sora?"
"What? Are we out yet?" Hmmmm... He seems groggy...
"We're not out yet." I grabbed his bow and arrows and fit one in.
"It won't work. We tried already."
"Sora, you should know already. I don't give up that easily. I'm that stubborn." I smiled. I pulled back and released. The arrow went straight down again? How can that be? Okay, I put it in. How did I do it before?
"Posture."
"What?"
I turned around to see Sora struggling to get up. Why is he clutching his side?
"Oh, Sora! You're bleeding!" I ran over to him.
"Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." He gasped.
"Don't be silly. I see the pain on your face."
"I said I'm fine. Now please get off me!" I walked backwards a little.
"I'm sorry." I whispered.
"About what?"
"About letting you getting hurt this way. Leading you to this horrible place. About everything I've done these past few days. " I fell down in defeat.
"Are you...Giving up???...GET THE HELL UP!"
"But everything's my fault!"
"I'm not mad at you. Just get up."
I got up and stared at him. If I were him, I'd be mad...
"Fine, " I sighed.
I picked up the arrow and bows and shot. The arrow went higher, but fell back down to the floor again.
"Why do I keep missing?!?" I yelled in anger.
"I told you . Posture." Sora walked over to me and stood behind me once again. He held me, even though I knew he was still in pain from his side. I stood tall, and then he postioned me. He walked away to let me shoot. I pulled back the string, and let go. The arrow glowed with power and purity and struck the heart.
"I got it!" I ran over and hugged Sora.
"We killed it!" I yelled again.
The cave started dissolving and I saw Hitomi standing there staring at us.
"Do you guys want privacy?"
"There is nothing going on between us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Heh, I made my sister right this. So, anyway, i hope you guys enjoy this!
