The Trail! Enjoy~!

o0o

Hikari's breathing calmed down, showing that she was either alseep or too tired to cry. Kurai grabbed Hikari's shoulders and pushed her up so she could see her face. Kurai smirked, Hikari had fallen asleep, her face looked so peaceful. Kurai gave her a little shook.

"Hikari, time to wake up." Kurai said in her ear. Hikari's eyes lightly opened, not even halfway.

"Hmmm?" She mumbled, her eyes drooping.

"Hikari, I know its night and all, but can you make me some dinner before you fall asleep." Kurai laughed after mumbling that into her ear. Thats when Hikari's eyes shot open, a small gasp coming from her lips. Kurai scooted away from Hikari and studied her. "Whats wrong?" She finally said as Hikari's hands went to her mouth, trying to hide another small gasp.

"The Trail!" Hikari gasped loudly. Kurai rolled her eyes, letting go of Hikari and leaning against the bed.

"Thats like 6 months away from now. Stupid." Kurai mumbled, resting her eyes. Hikari narrowed her eyes.

"Its late! We are going to be late if we don't go!" Hikari got up, putting on her shoes. Then she turned to Kurai, who was about to fall asleep. "Kurai! Lets go! Daku-sama moved up the Trail to tonight!" Hikari walked to the door as she heard Kurai curse under her breath.

"What? That traitor! He said he wouldn't get involved with our trail!" Kurai growled lowly, getting up and walking next to Hikari. "I'm going to-"

"Kurai!" Hikari shouted at her, making Kurai stop and look at her, confused. "Its not going to make the Trail go away! So lets go and see if they give you a light sentence!"

"Whatever..." Kurai mumbled, going back inside and coming back out wearing a cloak. "Lets go, on my back." Kurai ordered. Hikari nodded her head and jumped on Kurai's back. Kurai, as soon as Hikari was on safly, disappeared, heading toward a temple were the Trail was.

Jakotsu, who was going to go back and say bye, got up from the bush he was hiding in. "A... Trail...?" He mumbled, then stared where Kurai and Hikari were heading. "Bankotsu would probly want to go..." Jakotsu mumbled before he dashed back to Bankotsu, who was further down the river.

At the Trail

Kurai was standing in the center of the room, with Hikari behind her. There were people with arrows in every corner in the room, just in case she would try something 'fishy'. Daku stood in the front of the room, along with the other Elders.

"Daku-sama! Isn't there another way? I hate putting that spell on Kurai! It puts her through so much pain, because shes fighting with her inner demon and trying to wake up!" Hikari protested to Daku's order.

"Their battle only lasts for a few minutes!" Daku pointed out.

"But once its over she has horrible nightmares! She sees the people she has killed; both demon and the few humans! One day it may comsume her! Then her inner demon will take over her body and kill everything! And this time Kurai won't be able to try and fight it; since her soul will be long gone!" Hikari told him, stepping forward.

"There is another way!" One of the Elders intrupted their fighting. Everyone loooked at him confused. "There is a demon that calls himself 'Lord Sesshoumaru'. He has mastered his demon and is now in complete control. As your punishment, you will go to him and beg him to teach you how to control your inner demon."

Kurai growled in disgust. "Beg? No way!" Though the Elder ignored her introuption.

"If he doesn't agree, then kill him." Kurai silently growled while Hikari gasped, covering her mouth. "You will kill him because he isn't a good demon. He isn't a demon who helps people in need."

"Not every demon helps people in 'need'. That doesn't make them bad." Kurai lightly growled, frowning at the Elder.

"That is your punishment!" Daku glared at Kurai, who gladly glared back. "Leave Hikari here, her training needs to be complete before she should leave the village." Kurai shook her head dangerously.

"No, your boys here will try and touch her. That will just make my inner demon more angry." Kurai told him, pushing Hikari behind her. "She will go to me. I'll pretect her from that Sesshoumaru guy and any other demons."

"What if your inner demon trys to kill her? Hm? What will you do then?" Daku asked.

Kurai growled loudly, making the people with arrows get ready to strick. "That. Won't. Happen." She growled each letter before she sighed. "We will leave now. See you whenever I'm done. Come on Hikari." Kurai mumbled as she tugged Hikari along, though Hikari followed obiedent.

Daku sighed, turning to the Elders. "Think Hikari will be ok?" Daku asked them, glancing at the door.

"Forget the girl, Daku! I know that your her father and all, but right now we need to think of our village! If Kurai is gone too long, the demons around here might find out!" One of the Elders said, throughing his hands in the air as to prove his point. Daku's gaze hardened.

"Your right... Should we get prepared for the worse?" Daku asked, the other Elders all nodded. Daku sighed once more, glancing at the window, which he saw Kurai and Hikari running toward their house, Hikari was laughing while Kurai looked like she was pouting. He smiled before following the Elders out.

"Wow... They are leaving?" Jakotsu mumbled, coming out from his hidding spot.

"Who cares?" Bankotsu asked, rolling his eyes as if he didn't care, standing up from his hiding spot.

"Bankotsu! You should!" Jakotsu gave a stern look at Bankotsu, who returned it with a 'I don't care' look.

"Why should I? We barely know them..." Bankotsu trailed off, starting to walk toward the window.

"Ya, but..." Jakotsu sighed, walking next to his brother. "Think that Sesshoumaru guy will train her?" He asked, staring at the two figures in the window. The tall white haired girl, giggled at the other girl, who was a bit taller then her and had black hair. The black haired girl had fallen down, carring too much bags. The black haired girl threatened the white haired girl, though she just laughed and started to jog away; soon having the black haired girl chasing her, until she fell again.

Bankotsu blinked, taking his view off of the two girls in the window and at Jakotsu. "Guy? What do you mean? Isn't this 'Sesshoumaru' person a girl?" He asked, confused and angered.

"Hm?" Jakotsu smirked. "What? You jelous that your little 'demon' might be taken away?"

Bankotsu growled under his breath before talking again. "Lets go, I'm going to go find another village." Banotsu ordered, stalking out of the room, Jakotsu not far behind.

Goodbye, Bankotsu. Kurai thought, glancing back at the village before she and Hikari disappeared into the forest.
