Chapter 2-Is it a Hero or a Demon?
Inuyasha and the gang quickly ran towards a small village that was nearly destroyed. Inuyasha and Miroku sensed a demonic aura not to long and hoped they weren't too late. Inuyasha of course was running very fast, jumping from place to place, sometimes jumping on a tree branch and onto the next one with Kagome holding onto his back. Miroku was also running, but wasn't fast as Inuyasha was, but still quick while Shippo was on his head holding tight on him and Sango was riding on a huge yellow fur demon fox, which was called, Kirara (also called Kilala).
"I just sensed a demonic aura not too long ago," yelled Inuyasha.
"I believe you, because I too just sensed it," said Miroku catching up with his companions, "But it just faded away…"
"Think it can disappear," asked Kagome holding onto Inuyasha tightly.
"I don't think so because this demonic aura, it just like…faded away, like it died or something," said Miroku.
"Look! I see a village not to far away," yelled Sango pointing her finger at clear view of a small village.
The gang had a clear view of not so distance village. Some houses were crushed and other places as well. Trees were on the ground next to each other, but one thing that struck everyone's mind, the village was peaceful. There was some destruction around the area, but other than that, everyone was doing what they always did everyday, talk, shop, sleep, eat, farm, travel, and so forth. Men were pulling trees back to their village to cut down to rebuild their homes and other places as well. Inuyasha and gang soon arrived the village and everyone had happy looks on their face, like never happened. Kirara soon went back to it's little cute kitten form giving a small little cry of wonder.
"Hello young travelers," cheered a old man.The old man was short, because they way he stood and walked gave out that he was a hunchback and his size was only half of Inuyasha's lower body. He wore a long brown robe, had long white ponytail at the back, a white goatee, white beard, and had his eyes closed, "I am the chief villager here. What brings you here young ones?"
"Hi. My name is Kagome. I was wondering, were you and you village attacked by a demon not to recently," asked Kagome politely.
"Yes, yes. We were attacked by a horrible demon named Omnishi not too long ago," stated the old man.
While the old kept talking about Omnishi, Shippo got bored and jumped off from Miroku's head and walked around. He went up to a corner and then saw pieces of a huge body of a demon being cut down and people bringing straws and laying them all over the demon's body pieces. Shippo instantly called out his friends to show them what he had just discovered. Soon, Inuyasha and the gang saw what Shippo saw.
"What is that thing," said Inuyasha staring the pieces of the demon body.
"That is Omnishi," stated the old man, "He threaten our village for many years now…"
"Can you tell us what happened to him," asked Sango.
"A man, dressed in a red kimono came from the heavens and took out a huge gigantic sword and sliced the demon into many pieces," said the old man laughing, "When he killed the demon, he just dashed off…"
Everyone in the gang stared at Inuyasha and he started to sweat drop. He gave a confused look and stared at the old man with narrow eyes.
"Listen gramps, that can't be true," said Inuyasha in a low tone, "I was never here. Better, I don't even know this place!"
"Sorry. My grandpa can sometimes have problems remembering," laughed a small boy.
The small boy wore a no-sleeve brown rag for a shirt and wore a ripped bottom half blue kimono for pants. He had black eyes and short fuzzy brown hair with little freckles on his cheeks.
"My name is Hiro. I'll gladly tell you what truly happened here," smiled the young Hiro.
Later on...
Inuyasha and the gang were in a small hut, but kind of big in the inside. Everyone were sitting down on the floor, except for Inuyasha who was leaning against the wall crossing his arms, hearing everything what he heard from the small boy. Hiro's grandfather soon came in and dropped off some tea onto the table that lay in the center of room and walked off again doing some business.
"So, a man dressed in blue came, carried a huge sword and killed the demon," asked Miroku, trying to check if what he said was true.
"Every single one. He can also shoot fire, thunder, and freezing ice from his hands," cried Hiro in glee, "When I grow up, I want to be strong as him!"
"So, what was his name again Hiro," asked Kagome.
"His name is Cloud. He walked off from here, I think where I first saw him, lying on the grass, somewhere in the forest at the back of our village," said Hiro.
"I don't like this at all," said Inuyasha giving a scowl, "I mean, he doesn't sound human to me knowing what he can do…"
"Yeah, but he was human! Too all of us, he WAS human," cried Hiro trying to defend his idol, "Because if he was a demon, we could have notice something…Maybe his a demon slayer. I heard many rumors about them."
Sang lowered her head in the floor. She knew there couldn't be other demon slayers out there besides her and her brother. You hardly see demon slayers wondering around, traveling. Mostly, demon slayers stay with others, to make sure one is safe and take good care of one another. Besides, it will be kind of difficult for demon slayers to travel alone.
"Maybe we can meet this Cloud," said Kagome as she got up and looked at her friends, "Let's go and find him."
"It might be difficult for me," said Inuyasha, "New smells are kind of difficult for me to see who they are. Demonic Aura, its always the same thing…"
"Maybe if we act face, we can catch up with him," said Sango as she rose from the floor, "I mean, I want to know how he can fight like that."
"Pretty much, I want to see if he is a demon or not," mumbled Shippo as jumped on Kagome's shoulder.
"Should we worry about this stupid little thing," yelled Inuyasha, "I mean really! We are traveling for a sacred jewel shard!"
"Wait," said Kagome sensing something and rubbing her head, "I think I sense a Jewel Shard! I sense can sense it and we have to go to the back of village."
"Well what are waiting for," yelled Inuyasha, "It's about time! Lead the way Kagome!"
Inuyasha quickly left and hut and jumped from roof to roof, heading to the back of the village. The gang stared at Kagome, not believing what she just said.
"You lied, didn't you," said Sango narrowing her eyes at her.
"Yup," smiled Kagome, "I knew something would work to get Inuyasha's attention."
"Pretty smart Kagome," laughed Miroku.
The gang quickly left the hunt and headed towards to the back of village that lead into the forest, soon to meet with Inuyasha, glaring at them crossing his arms.
"What took you so long? Come on! I want this Jewel Shard before anyone else takes it," yelled Inuyasha.
Everyone gave a small soft laugh and Inuyasha raised an eyebrow. Inuyasha didn't understand what they were laughing at, but he didn't like it if he was left out of the joke.
"What's going on," asked Inuyasha.
"Oh nothing, nothing" smiled Sango waving her hand around.
"Come on, let's continue," smiled Miroku as he walked ahead. Sango and Kagome followed Miroku and left Inuyasha behind. Inuyasha turned around, raising his fist at the air.
"Tell me what's so funny," yelled Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha-SIT," giggled Kagome.
The black necklace started to glow brightly and brought Inuyasha into the ground hard. Kagome gave a small laugh, making Inuyasha fall even more behind. Inuyasha slowly got up and glared at Kagome and quickly got up after them.
Meanwhile…A demon fell to the ground hard onto the grass. Cloud came back down to the ground from the sky and placed his sword onto his hilt on his back.
"Damn," mumbled Cloud, "No matter where I go, I'll always find these blasted creatures after me…"
Cloud was about to head back onto his motorcycle as he soon saw a small purple light on the grass. Cloud walked up to it and saw a small piece of shard on the grass. Cloud picked it up and studied the small purple-pink shard.
"What the," said the confused Cloud, staring at this strange small item. Cloud looked at his material bracelet and placed the shard on one of the empty slots. As soon he it was attached, there a huge light coming from it and grew around Cloud. Cloud felt something strike in his body and started groaning in pain, feeling something, stinging his entire body. The light soon dashed up into the sky and onto a new direction and Cloud fell to his knees, breathing hard.
"What was that," yelled Cloud to himself as he was breathing hard, "I could have sworn I just saw…no…his gone. I defeated him. His not coming back…"
Cloud got up and got onto his motorcycle. He turned on the engine, but before he moved, he stared at the jewel shard on his bracelet.
"Whatever you are, I'm going to find out what you are," said Cloud talking to the shard. Cloud put on his goggles and drove out of the forest onto the dirt, heading to a new direction. When he was out of sight, a small black feather came down from the sky and landed on the ground softly.
