"Tayo. Girl. Wake up," I heard a voice say. The sun was shining through my window and hitting my face. I groaned as I turned on my otherside.
"Go away," I sighed annoyed, not realizing who I was talking to. I should have just opened my eyes because just seconds after those words left my lips, I felt myself being backhanded in the face. Okay, that got me up! I sat up and opened my eyes to see who in the hell had just hit me. I would've struck back, but I saw it was Naraku. He had an angry look on his face.
"Do not disobey me girl," he growled. I simply nodded as I rubbed my cheek. Man, shooting him with an arrow was sounding better and better. 'No Tayo, think of his good qualities...his very few...few good qualities,' I thought to myself. "Get dressed. We're going in a few minutes," he said as he got up and walked out of my room. I did as he said and quickly dressed. My cheek still on fire.
He was outside waiting for me. He was impatiently tapping his foot and leaning against a tree as I slowly came up to him. He looked up at me, but his unpleasant glare didn't soften any. What a great way to start out the morning.
"So what do you want me to do?" I asked him.
"Simple. Kill Inuyasha," he replied like it was obvious. I sighed as I put a hand to my hip.
"Can you be a little more specific? Ya know, give me more information?"
"Inuyasha is a half dog demon with a red garmet on. He carries a big sword called the Tessaiga. Its very powerful and you should watch out for his wind scar attack. Traveling with him is a young Monk named Miroku. He has a void in his hand called a Wind Tunnel." He reached in his pocket and pulled out a ball. He put it in on the ground in front of me. A wasp-like bug flew out of the ball. I gasped as I took a step back. Got damn I hate bugs! Naraku lightly chuckled as he saw my reaction. "These insects are called Saimyoushou. They will prove to be very useful in battle with the monk."
"Okay, is that all who I have to fight?" I asked, now getting a little concerned.
"No," he replied, "there are two women who also travel with the half breed. One is named Sango. She is a demon slayer. And the other is named Kagome. Like you she posesses the powers of a priestess and is the reincarnation of Kikyo." Kikyo, Kikyo, Kikyo. That's all I've heard since I've gotten here. To tell the truth, I didn't really care about these other people. I really wanted to meet her since she seemed to be so damn popular around these parts. Naraku had told me that Kikyo actually played a small part in his creation, but when I asked him how, he told me if was of no concern. Did he like this chick or something?
"So tell me Naraku. When will I finally get to meet this Kikyo woman I've been hearing about?" I asked him. He turned away from me and looked up at the sky.
"In due time," he replied, "but now you need to focus solely on Inuyasha and his friends."
"You expect me to fight four people by myself?!" I cried out.
"Kagura will be going with you." he replied. I sighed but was only slightly convinced. I still felt like I wasn't being told everything. This man was so damn frustrating. I looked around me, searching for my fighting partner.
"Where is Kagura?" I asked him.
"She has already been dispatched to the village where Inuyasha and his friends are staying. She's waiting on you, so get going. The saimyoushou will lead you to her." He walked back into the castle leaving me out there all alone.
It seemed as if I was walking for hours, following the saimyoushou as they led me to my partner in crime. I was beginning to get very annoyed. "How much further?!" I demanded to know, now at my wit's end. Just as I snapped the question at them, the insects began to lower themselves and flew over to Kagura who was standing behind a tree.
"What took you so long?!" she snapped at me.
"Sorry, I can't fly like you!" I snapped back. She narrowed her eyes at me. I smirked at her. What, was I supposed to be scared or something? "Anyways. Where is this Inuyasha person?"
"Come," she said as she started to walk towards a little, village house, "be silent." We both stood on the side of the house, inching closer and closer to the door. I could hear voices on the inside talking, but soon they stopped.
"I smell something," I heard a voice growl. Seconds later, a man with white hair, dog-like ears, and a red outfit came flying out of the door with three other people. "Kagura," he growled staring at her intensely.
"Inuyasha...long time no see."
"What do you want?"
"I'm here obeying instructions from that bastard Naraku. Why else would I be here? You really are a half wit." Inuyasha growled as he unsheathed his sword. The rustly little blade transforming into a great one.
"I'll gladly put you out of your misery."
"Oh how sweet, but I don't need help from the likes of you!" Kagura yelled as she swung the fan that she always carried. "Dance of Blades!" Sharp blades of wind came from her fan and went flying at Inuyasha. Inuyasha doged them by quickly jumping in the air.
"Wind Scar!" he yelled as he swung his blade to the ground.
"Dance of the Dragon!" Kagura yelled back as she swung her fan again sending twisters to counter the wave of light that came from his sword. She turned her head to me. "Don't just stand there Tayo! Do something!" she snapped. I slowly came out of the shadows. I didn't know what to do. I mean, I didn't even think that my arrows could even do damage to a demon as strong as him. His aura was pretty strong. Inuyasha turned his gaze to me as well.
"Who the hell are you?" he demanded, "are you another one of Naraku's twisted offspring?" I remained silent.
"Hold on Inuyasha," the girl with the school uniform on said as she came running to him, "see how she's dressed? She must be from my era." Inuyasha gave me a good look over.
"You're right Kagome. Do you know this girl?" he asked. The girl just shook her head. "Tell me girl, who are you and why are you working for that bastard, Naraku?!" I still didn't say anything as I removed an arrow from the bag on my back. I lifted my bow and positioned it to strike. "Heh! A measly arrow can't harm me," the dog demon arrogantly proclaimed. Maybe it would, maybe it wouldn't but I didn't know what else to do. I let the arrow go and it went flying at him. But it missed him. T.T Instead, it hit the sword. 'Awww man!' I thought to myself, 'How could I miss?' But just then, the big sword transformed back into the original rusty blade. "What the..." Inuyasha said, staring at the Tessaiga.
"She made the Tessaiga transform!" the demon slayer cried out.
"She must possess the powers of a priestess," the monk exclaimed. 'So I've been told,' I thought with a little smirk. The monk started to approach me. "Tell me woman. Why would someone who possess these powers want to work for a massive evil like Naraku?" I took a step back.
"Naraku took me in when I somehow found myself in this land, and he helped me develop my shooting skills," I told him.
"I see," the monk said, "you feel as if you owe him something. You are a very kind woman indeed. Clearly not a spawn of Naraku. In that case, would you be so kind as to bear my children?" My eyes widened and I was at a loss for words upon hearing that. Did I just hear him right? I didn't get a chance to tell him no as seconds later the demon slayer had whacked him over the head with the big boomerang that she carried and drug him away.
"Lecherous monk!" she angrily muttered under her breath.
"Look are we gonna continue talking or are we going to fight?" Inuyasha said as he started running to me. "Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!" I didn't get a chance to react as seconds later, I was on the ground with a huge gash in my arm. Owww got damn that hurt like hell!
"Wait Inuyasha! She's just a human girl!" the girl, Kagome yelled at him.
"I don't care, she still works for Naraku!!" he yelled back. He positioned himself, ready to strike again.
"SIT!" Kagome suddenly screamed. The necklace around Inuyasha's neck started to glow as he fell face first into the ground. Seeing this as an opportunity to escape, Kagura ran over to me.
"If you get killed, Naraku will definitely kill me," she said, eyeing the blood flowing out of my right arm. She removed one of the feathers in her hair and it transformed into a huge one. "Get on." I obeyed as I climed onto the big feather with her and ascended into the air.
