Chapter 4: First comes the fog
Barely sensing the sunrise Inu-yasha is already getting up. It's now bright sun rays bursting from the high heavens, feeling like it's blanketing the earth. For some reason Miroku was on the edge this morning. Thinking that it's due to all the meds from her time, she grabbed a water bottle with an aspirin. "Here, with what I gave you, you'll be needing this." Telling him with a serious smile of concern. "Oh lord, thanks. Just had a feeling this morning...was not morning at all."
Smiling, now content with what everyone now healing fast, hurrying myself packing my things back into my yellow backpack. Watching both Shippo & Kilala playing around near the creek, as I plopped my bag over my back as always. "Ok I'm ready to go now. " Making sure I was loud enough for the others to hear me. "Yeah I'm all set too. Kilala lets go." Songo called for her kitty. Inu-yasha walks next to me on my right side, while Shippo jumps casually on his left shoulder to be in between us. Miroku tries to get on Kilala without looking like a pained weakling. Of course he failed a bit. Poor guy looks like he really does like her, to always be with her by her side.
"Ok onwards." Shippo says giggling. Kilala hurries over to us, carrying her master and teammate now that her paw is better now.
"Yup." I responded with no expression now, since we never decided where we are going. " Let's just had on back to Keades village now. Till we get news on anything. " "Good idea Inu-yasha. " Now on our way to see lady Keade, the great priestess. Couple days gone by, and all of a sudden...like once in a while our group walks on down a road, witnesing an odd weird fog like mist surrounding the area. ' Hmm...this is odd...' I thought to my self confused. 'Well...I do know this. We must have taken a wrong road near by. Her village is still a few days away...yet iv not heard of weird mist fog. Not in this area. '
Slightly turning my head to the side so I don't frighten Shippo...since I know all to well how he is. One sign of danger and he'll let the whole forest & village know about it. Poor thing. Surveying the area just looking around for any signs of danger. ' Nothing odd going around here, besides this...now suddenly thick fog. ' Now I'm certain my friends know something is up. Miroku still irritable about the meds, complains of the turn of event.
"Jeez, come on already. Why is there fog here...it's suppose to be clear weather around here. We made a wrong turn somehow...can't be." He was taking to himself basically, which made no sense. We always know how to get to Keades village, just a week's walk from our last battle. I think. I want so certain this time. My gal pal Songo is also effected by this from his Miroku is acting. "Yeah...I'm starting to think, maybe this is not natural. " " I agree with Songo on this Kagome...just look Mirokus effected by this. And he's the always can one..." Said Shippo concernd now, narrowing his eyes. He was right about that, Miroku being our monk and wise one is ALWAYS mellowed out with us. Seeing him at like that...it's not normal at all.
" Hmmpt. Y'all gotta be kidding me, it's just got for goodness sake." Great, now Inuyasha is complaining, be fore suddenly seeing him sniffing the air. Siiiiiigh. "Come on guys...let's not turn this into something...bad for us." I really tried calming them down, honestly I tried. Seems it just wasn't meant to be though. Though what had happend next, honestly I just wasn't prepared for.
Feeling as if the dog itself sensed us all just standing there, me in a slight panic, the others confused & irritable. Cause I sure was, not gonna lie... All but one turned our heads seeing the fog clearing up a bit, showing a path for us. You where...You guessed it, no ideasvile. ( lol I'm funny xD ) Inuyasha stiffened a bit backing up a few steps, bumping into me.
" Ah...Hey watch it..." Turning my head around was indeed a bad mistake for me. In shock I was staring at a woman...a beautiful one...that was kikyo? "..Ki...kyo..." Inuyasha stutters as we all watched this female figure walk past us. After getting a good of her face, thanking good she wasn't who we thought she was. ' Pheww...would not want round 3 of him after her again..' Thinking that narrowing my eyes, stomping those memories of the past times away in the back of my mind.
Seeing him snap out of it, he turns facing me with an awkward face. Could have sworn I heard this mutt growl just now. "..hm?" Watching him...watching her...didn't sir right with me at all. "..guys..." He replies to us softly. " ...be on your gaurd...this woman's scent..I can't tell if she is either demon..our human." That made me snap back to the present, so far I had to quickly turn around. I've completely forgotten about our friends.
To late. I've already noticed both Songo & Miroku were off of Kilala, she was walking an all fours next to them. Shippo on the other hand been hoped off Inuyasha's shoulder to walk with them. "What's going on guys?" Asking them, yet no answer, it's like they were controlled. Then they turned to me...with red lines thick though, outlineing the round of their eye balls. Shocked I named away in...intrest as to find out what's really going on.
