The next few days went by very quickly. The fifth day had finally arrived and that was the day that I had promised Naraku that I would come back. I woke up early and started to pack some things so I would be more prepared this time when I passed through the well. I packed clothes, a first aid kit, food, and somemore things. I said goodbye to my family and promised them that I would come visit them again soon. I then headed out to the bone eaters well where I was supposed to meet Kaoru.
When I arrived, Kaoru was already there waiting for me. She greeted me with a smile and I did likewise. She had a sad look in her eyes though.
"Well, I guess this is goodbye again," she sighed.
"I'll be back soon."
"I believe you."
"I'm going to miss you," I said, giving her a big hug
"I'm gonna miss you too." Just then, Kaoru started to rumage through her messenger bag. She pulled out a teddy bear. It was the teddy bear that her father had given her the day before he died when she was younger. "I want you to keep this, so you know, you can have a piece of me with you."
"I cannot accept this Kaoru," I said holding the soft brown bear.
"Oh I know you can't. That's why you're only borrowing it. I mean, when you return home, I expect it back. But until then you can keep it." I smiled at my friend. I gave her another hug, went over to the well and jumped in it .
When I arrived in the feudal era again. I found Naraku waiting for me. I gave him a big smile, but he didn't give me one back.
"I see you kept your word," he said, eyes fixed on me and arms crossed.
"I told you I would," I replied, climbing out of the well. I put the heavy bag full of stuff on the ground. I walked over to him. "Did you miss me?"
"No. I knew I'd see you in five days whether you wanted to come back or not," he said. I sighed and shook my head.
"Naraku, could you stop being a hard ass for once?"
"Come on, we have no time to waste," he said, ignoring my question. He walked over to me, picked me and my things up we started to fly off to the castle.
I was in my room, putting my things away when Naraku entered. He had a bow in his hands. Bigger than the previous one he gave me. I looked at him and smiled.
"Oh you got me a present!" I cried trying to give him a hug, but of course, he moved out of the way.
"No girl, I'm just replacing your weapon with a better one," he said, like it was obvious. I knew that it wasn't a present, I was just trying to be friendly. Hmmm trying to get him to accept me as a friend would be tougher than I thought. But I do like a good challenge. I went over to my bag and removed the original bow and arrows.
"What's wrong with these?" I asked.
"Nothing if you like weak, human weapons." I looked at him confused. He walked over to me and put the bow in my hand. "This bow is made from my bones and..." Yeah, when he said that I dropped the thing to the floor and my jaw dropped. From his bones? What? Naraku gave me harsh look and bent down to pick the bow up. "Close your mouth girl, you'll catch flies. Yes, this weapon is made from my bones. I am a demon remember? Some demons are capable of such things." I once again accepted the bow in my hands. "Now like I was saying, because this bow is made from apart of me, it is capable of putting up a barrier."
"A barrier?"
"Yes. If Inuyasha or anyone else were to send a deadly attack at you, a barrier will form around you blocking the attack so you won't get harmed."
"Wow, that is amazing."
"I decided to give it to you so you wouldn't get hurt like you did last time you fought him. Considering that you are going to fight him again today." I widened my eyes at him. Wait a minute! I just got back to my feudal era home and he is already sending me to fight Inuyasha again?
"What?!" I snapped at him.
"You and I will be going to pay Inuyasha a little visit."
"You're coming too?"
"Yes, I have a little message to deliver him, and I want to see the look on his face in person." An evil smile appeared on his face. What was Naraku up to? What was going on in that complex brain of his? Whatever it was, it couldn't be good.
