Zac opened his eyes. Everything around him was blurry, but he could see light outside, so he must of been out for awhile. He stared off at a large obstruction in his way, which slowly came into focus and to be recognised as Kaede. Zac sat up. Kaede turned to him.
"Ah.Your awake. Do you have any recollection of the events of last night?" Zac stood, and began to pace the room. A large hole was in the wall. Zac approached it and touched the edges with his finger tips.
"What happened? How long was I out? Why did you tell Inuyasha to attack me?" He asked, turning to face Kaede.
"So you do remember. See that hole in the wall?" Zac glanced at it again. Light from outside streamed forth. "You were the source of this destruction. Inuyasha did attack you, and yes I told him to. That was only to unlock your spiritual powers, and I do believe that I got the results I wished for, although not quite as subtle as I expected it to be." Zac slowly turned back to her.
"Why? What did I do?"
"Inuyasha went to attack you, but you were immediatly engulfed with light blue fire, and Inuyasha was blown backward, creating said hole in the wall."
"Where is Inuyasha now?"
"Well, while you were out, a Carrion Crow attacked our village, in search of the sacred jewel. It was destroyed, but at terrible cost.
the Sacred Jewel shattered, and sent hundreds of it's shards out across the sky, scattering them all over. There is no telling where they
can be found."
"So... this means Inuyasha-"
"Inuyasha has been told to return after he find his first shard."
"So what is my fate?"
"Your 'fate' as you put it, is to travel with Inuyasha and Kagome to assist in the search for the sacred jewel shards."
"While I search for the shards, do I have permission to search for my friends also?"
"You may as long as you don't stray too far from your given path,but my senses tell me that your friends will come to you." Zac wandered out of the hut.
"Where are you going?" Zac shielded his eyes from the noon sun.
"Out." he said as he walked off.
Chapter 5 Section 2
Skie snapped awake. Sango stood over her.
"Good to see your awake." Skie sat up slowly,still groggy from just waking up.
"What sort of training am I to go through today?"
"Training? I suppose no one told you..."
"Told me what?"
"You are going to take the remains of the Bear Demon we slayed yesterday, and your going to make your own weapon.
Due to the fact that you made it, it will grow stronger as you do, and you'll have certain connection with it, and it with you."
"Well...what weapon am I going to make?"
"Now that decision,Skie, is completely up to you and your ability."
"So I can choose whatever I want?"
"Yes, but you should also keep in mind what your good at. For instance, have you ever used a bow?"
"I dunno...maybe once when I was younger"Skie said, as she stood up and stretched. The room she was in was stuffy. A yellowish light eminated around, and reflected of the dark brown wood walls.
"Have you ever considered using a long range weapon? Perhaps a bow or a boomerang?"
"Not really... I'm more interested in the sword."
"Alright... we'll make your Katana later. Also, to infuse your weapon with spiritual energy, you must have deep emotions for your friends and family, fallen comrades, and... well there are others, but you just got here, so they are kind of pointless to bring up." Sango looked at Skie quizzically. "Come. We must gather your supplies."
"Sango... I was wondering. Later, could you help me find my friends?"
"Friends? You mean you came here with others?"
"Yes... I mean, not here specificly, but I know they can't be too far..." Sango turned and smiled.
"Of course I will. What are their names?"
"Well, there is Olivia, about 5'6", dark brown hair, Cheyenne, about 5'2" light brown hair, and then there is Zac, about 5'6",chocolate brown hair."
"I'll help. If I see these people on my journey,I'll point them in the right direction."
"Thanks Sango. For everything." Sango let out a small laugh.
"It's no problem,really. Your one of us now. Your family. You can turn to us if you ever need help."
"Thanks, Sango." Skie walked out of the room and into the light. Sango'sbrother Kohaku beckoned her over,holding a large ammount of bones. Skie rubbed her hands together. "Here goes nothing."
Chapter 5 Section 3
Ia Opened her eyes, the room was bright.
"I suppose I did fall asleep." she muttered under her breath. She heard footsteps and rolled over. Miroku stepped into the hut at which they were staying.
"The damage out there is catastrophic. Many villagers were slain. There is only a handful who weren't." Ia stared. "The villages best warriors fell trying to slay that demon, how is it you could? With ease at that."
"I-I dunno..."
"You used my staff, and it disintegrated. Only a monk can accomplish that." Ia watched him. "Perhaps there is more to you than meets the eye. How would like to join me on my journey?"
"And what exactly is that?"
"I am currently hunting down the demon Naraku. He placed a curse upon my family, and if I don't kill him, the curse will kill me."
"What exactly is this curse?"
"We all have our secrets, but you'll find out in time." Ia raised one eyebrow at him. "Come now. We should move on. This place is going to be in an uproarthat I don't want to be caught up in."
"Where are we going to go?"
"We are going to go see my master monk. Perhaps we can get you trained."
"Are you sure?I probably suck."
"We all did at one point." Olivia left, in step behind Miroku. The only thing on her mind is what lies in the future. She looked up to see Miroku grab another womans rear and ask: "Will you bear my children?" he was smacked in the face, but Ia couldn't help but feel a hint of jealousy. She shook it off. It was nothing.
Chapter 5 Section 4
Sesshomaru began to run along another path. He became a blur as he picked up speed. Cheyenne and Jaken quickly fell behind.
"How does he expect us to keep up?"
"Stupid, foolish girl!" Cheyenne gave him a blow to the head, leaving yet another large lump. "Ah-un!" Jaken yelled, still holding his head.
"Ah-un? What's an "Ah-un?"" Just as she finished a large two headed dragon type creature crashed down before their feet.
"Thats Ah-un." Cheyenne looked at him. "Climb on, girl." Cheyenne did so, rather reluctantly. It immediately took off, flying towards Sesshomaru.
"Keep on his trail, Ah-un!"
After awhile, Ah-un crashed to the ground again. Sesshomaru stood sniffing the air. He turned to them.
"Inuyasha is close." he turned and walked off again. Cheyenne and Jaken followed close behind. Sesshomaru leaped into a clearing.
A man with dog ears and a red outfit stood there. A girl with black hair, and a green school uniform stood next to him.
"Inuyasha." Sesshomaru said, curling his lip in anger.
"Sesshomaru? Not like you to take on human companions."
"I heard you now have two, brother."
"This one, and... oh, you must mean Zac." Cheyenne stepped forward.
"Zac?" Inuyasha looked at her.
"Yeah. Why? You know him?"
"Yeah, he's my friend. We got seperated as I came to this world."
"Well, tell Mister "Rip your head off" over there to relax, and I'll take you to him."
"Sesshomaru? Back off."
"I'm not taking orders from a lowly human."
"BACK OFF OR YOU'LL HAVE ME TO DEAL WITH!" Sesshomaru looked at her.
"I'll deal with you another time, Inuyasha." Cheyenne turned to Inuyasha, who turned and began to walk away. She followed him. Finally.
She can start getting her old group back together.
