Wondering of the Black Pearl
The Stone Iris Part 1
"Wh.. Why wasn't I here to help? Why was I at home while everyone was in danger? Why?" Kagome kept repeating those questions to herself while rocking back and forth on the ground. Sango, who had been sitting next to the unconscious monk, turned to her and spoke with a sob still in her tone "It was not your fault Kagome. Please do not blame yourself. It would have happened if you we're here or not" she sighed before she continued "What we need to ask is why, why did they attack now? At that time of night. After Naraku did so much just to conceal his whereabouts' from us. He came out just to do this?" She slumped back onto her knees from exhaustion.
Still shaking from the fear of almost losing her friends, Kagome set down the little fox demon, grabbed her bow and arrows and turned to face everyone. "I am going to search for the reason why this happened" she said with the most serious look on her face, a look that her friends have never seen on her. Before she could step another foot way, a low whisper came from the walls river side "Kagome, before you go and do something so rational, you must know this". Everyone stared in shock as the wounded monk pushed himself up and stumbled toward her. "Take this and go follow Kikyo, she will know what this is and what to do with it" with what strength he had left he handed her a stone in the shape of a small flower and continued "I believe both of your powers combined will make it work. Just believe in me". Kagome nodded in agreement and rushed off into the forest.
Moments after she had left her friends, she felt something coming closer towards her. Only able to sense two Shard of the sacred jewel, she knew it was the wolf demon, Koga. But before she could spot him, she felt him pick her up into his arms and ran back from the direction he came from.
