Yo. I'm updating again.
It was early in the morning when it awoke. Growling in pain, the half-demon rolled over onto its back, glaring up into the cloudy sky, very bitter for being defeated the night before. There were many scratches and gashes on the humanly figure. They had finally stopped bleeding after the half-demon collapsed the night before and fell unconscious. It sat up painfully, cursing the one who defeated it so easily. It knew that it was the person it was looking for, however. He was strong. He could probably wipe out a whole village of humans with his strength. The demon knew that Inuyasha could have wiped out the demon slayer village by himself.
"So why are you traveling around, Sango?"
Lloyd asked, the breaking the silence after they had finished telling the long story. Sango's gaze shifted to the ground, knowing she should tell these people. It was a painful thing to talk about, but eventually, she knew that they had to find Sheena and fill her in as well.
"Well, I travel with
four friends... Kagome, Miroku, Shippo and Inuyasha."
She
began,
"It all began with the sacred shikon jewel..."
It
was her turn to tell a long story now. She told them about Inuyasha
and how Kagome was from the future, how the shikon jewel had been
shattered, how she had been tricked but saved by Inuyasha and how
their group planned to destroy the bastard Naraku who had destroyed
her village. When she had finished talking, Lloyd spoke.
"We've heard of
this Naraku guy before... He really is a bad guy, huh?"
"Yes Lloyd, he's the
'bad guy.'"
Zelos taunted. Lloyd shot him an angry look.
Shrugging, Zelos said,
"Well, my beautiful, graceful slayer, as
you know, we came here looking for exspheres, but found none. We did
hear of the troubles this land is having, though and we wanted to
investigate so that we could do something about it. Would it be
possible to join up with your group? You seem to know a lot more
about what he's like than we do."
Sango thought for a moment, it would be great to have more help, it was even better because there was a chance of meeting her old friend again. She did, however, want to discuss it with the others.
"Well, you could come
with me and ask Inuyasha. He's the leader of our group."
She
said.
"But do you guys have any idea where Sheena might be?"
Lloyd shook his
head,
"She said something about your weapon not being on top of
one of the graves and wanted to search for you alone. We don't
really know these lands at all, so we don't really have a clue
about where she is right now."
"I see..."
Sango
responded, slightly disappointed.
"Let's start moving then. On
foot, we should be there in three days or so."
She said. The
others followed her lead down the road.
'Three more days
late? Inuyasha's going to kill me..."
She thought with a
frown as she walked.
Inuyasha was indeed grumpy, but he was secretly more worried than angry. Why was Sango late? She knew that they were to move without her if she wasn't there by that afternoon. If they stayed too long, Naraku would attack the village. They had to leave today. He knew that his friends were just as worried as he was, but he had to be firm. Standing, he said,
"We can't wait for her anymore. We have to set off today; I'm sure she'll find us."
"Yes, I guess it
can't be helped, she's rarely late."
Miroku said, concerned.
"Inuyasha, let's go
to her village and look for her."
Kagome said, and Inuyasha
nodded.
"Alright."
They thanked Kaede, left her a message in case Sango came, and left. It was a quiet and brisk walk. Inuyasha knew that she wasn't in any danger, she could fend for herself. He was worried nevertheless.
"So Sango, what's
this Inuyasha guy like? He seems to be a pretty nice guy considering
that he took you in and stuff."
Lloyd asked,
"He must
fancies you if he took you in the group even after you tried to kill
him and stuff. You like him a lot too, I think."
Zelos added
with a grin, receiving a warning nudge from Lloyd. Sango's face
hardened, a stiff smile appearing on her lips in time. She was asked
this question a lot.
"Inuyasha and I are just good friends. I've
promised to live with the monk Miroku I told you about earlier. And
yes, he is a nice guy... He can be quite rude sometimes, but he has a
kind heart."
Zelos could instantly tell that what she was saying
wasn't entirely the truth. He had lived his whole life wearing a
mask, and he could tell that she had put one on. Not wanting to
linger on such a subject, he moved on,
"And your friend Kagome?
How is she?"
"Oh yeah! She's
from the future?"
Collette said, clapping her hands,
"I'd
really like to hear what the future's like!"
"It... Really doesn't
sound different from the thing's I've heard you talk about.
Flying machines, self-moving rides, light without fireā¦"
"So the future's...
No different from now?"
"Well... Apparently... There's no magic in the future, and everything's run by electricity or something."
"How far into the
future is this? How can there be no magic?"
Collette asked,
"I'm really not
sure about all of this, I'm sorry... You can ask her when you see
her?"
She said. Zelos made another typical remark,
"I can't wait until
I meet her! I have another feeling that she's pretty like you,
right, Sango?"
Sango couldn't help but blush; he was just like
Miroku minus the groping, which he made up by making her feel equally
uncomfortable with his words.
"Um... Well, yeah, I guess..."
Walking down the path with his friends, Inuyasha realized something. It was the night before the full moon. How could he have forgotten? There was a brief moment of panic in his eyes which thankfully went unnoticed by his friends. He looked down at the ground as he led them on as he calmed down to think. They were just on the way to Sango's village, and there would always be hiding spots in the forest in case they were attacked. Though, it would be hard to protect Kagome as a human with Miroku... Either way, they couldn't stop; they had to make sure Sango was safe. It would take three days to walk there, and he would be back to his original form by the time arrived. It was unlikely that they would be attacked on the way...
Sheena turned a few
cards around in her hands. They were not the charms she used to
attack, but were prototypes of the meltokio labs.
'Tomorrow's
the night... We both suffer...'
She thought.
Alright, everyone... You're making me sad by not reviewing... Please, please please at least review once...
