Chapter 5: Second comes Village
"I'm going into the village, I'm in pain remember? What I need to do is sleep, and eat till I'm healed. Or don't you want me to die like this?" Miroku out with what sounded like malice which shocked me completely just how he said it. Like I honesty didn't care...but my feelings. Dumbfounded I tried to answer back sucking back my tears. " ...Ah..We. I mean..." Quick to defend me Inuyasha moved his hand in front of me, silencing me. Just from the look of his face showing what he's thinking. Why bother answering.
With a nod I'd figure that much so. My last thought to this is...maybe this fog is controlling people, cause even I see Songo glaring at us reaching for her sword. Like she's agreeing with Miroku. But what I don't understand is why wasn't I effected by this, or Inuyasha? Clearly if it can control our friends...then why not us? Out of nowhere my chest started to glow, as if answering my confusion. Moving my collar out of the way to find out its the shikon no tama that's glowing. " Hmmmm so that's why...seems the jewel itself is protecting you. Also I'm not effected since I'm not weak to get snared in this. Figures.." He has a way of comforting me in time in need, no mater how harsh.
"Maybe...it's that woman?" Ok I was slightly afraid when I asked that. ' What if she gets out friends to attack us.' Although that wouldn't be the first time it's happened, do I'm not gonna stress over that. "Hmm...not sure this fog is messing with my nose." Now he tells me. "As man.." 'Were doomed. ' Well time to play it cool till we can get out of this. As we're catching up to Miroku & Songo I tried causally answer back with an actual answer this time. "You're right Miroku you should be resting. Lets go find the village and get inside then." Miroku walks on ahead of course trying to find and follow that beautful lady. Songo right behind him trying to hard not to hurt the guy. Seems she was so close on losing the strength to hit him..hard.
Shippo giggled with Kilala behind them, also red lines around their eyes. As the fog clears up more we notice this village pop up out of nowhere. As we enter this new to us village we noticed...strange things. The village looked old in he outside, well some of the huts, but the inside was completely different. Grass was completely grown perfectly, no blade of grass out of place. Animals was everywhere happy d so cheerful, with no care in the world. Kids running around playful with very happy smiles..seems inhuman in a way. Teenage villagers all in couples, looking like they in love. The adults and their elders were well working, and or relaxing in complete bliss.
It looked...way to perfect here, like no chaos, no troubles. No negativity none hats so ever...scary. From all that iv just witnessed there's no way there is a village that's like this. It had to be all fake, but how, I just didn't know.
"Inuyasha...this village, it can't be real. " Unexpectedly surprised by what I saw, there he is sniffing the air around us again. "That's odd looks & smells real here..." He stated then looked back towards our friends, to our knowledge their eyes of were outlined green now. You, now I know something is definitely controlling people near this village. Perfectly sure it's she-who-still-remains-nameless's fault, well she has to be involved in this somehow.
"OH my, Miroku look, this place is perfect!" Screamed Songo, surprising me and Inuyasha. This behavior she was showing, is so but her. "Yes, agreed. Maybe we should stay..." There he goes saying that too here with a grin on his face. "Yes! I even see demons here. It's like these humans and their demons neighbors now live among each other. With no fear of death. " Shippo happily squels with joy jumping up & down. "Ok.. Um..why not we look around for the inn, or someplace to sleep. " Trying hard I look just like my friends, I request with a smile. " I grew, let's go shopping later on Kagome." Songo stated in that bubbly happy voice again..which starting to freak me out.
Finally we all agree on something. Moving along the multi colored rock path way threw this very big village, could have thought it could be a capital or something here. Inuyasha saw that woman again, or should I say..sensed that woman again. The speed I saw her use to get by us, was fast, yet she passed herself. There was even a gruop of kids who saw here, so they stopped playing to approce her.
" Lady Ayaha has returned!" A little girl looking only 6 years old yelled out to the others. " Our priestess had returned." One male teenager with short green hair said to his group of people. Two by three they all come approaching this so called priestess. "If she's a real priestess then how come we've never heard of her before?" I asked myself that question still trying to figure her out. Not knowing if Inuyasha heard me or not, not paying attention to me cause he too is busy trying to figure this woman out. "Beats me...never even heard of her myself, or this place. And believe me when I say, I've already seen the whole world by now. " I'm sorry I had to mentally laugh at his little statement there.
Little did we know that somehow this woman heard us, cause her head turned towards us. He noticed that had did just that. Little peeved at why she keeps starting us. But noticed quickly seems that she is shocked over something. She stood there watching us closely then she turned to watch our friends. Then to us, then to the kids, and then back at us. Terror formed over her face for a split min, like she figured something out herself.
'Hmm...very interesting. That human girl over there in the state cloughs and her male demon companion are not under my control. They should be like their friends, since they did walk threw my barrier.' Last Ayaha took the time to think, too she saw a small hint of light from in the human girls clouths. Soon terror took over. "It can't be..that this human girl possesses the jewel shards. So that explains it, they are safe from my control...Hmm."
Composing herself now that she figured out about us, finished talking to v the kids, then worked her way towards us. Smiling as she moved herself in front of us, she slowly cursty on down bowing down to us during respect. Inuyasha simply took this change to sniff her again, at least tried too. Once it seemed he was ok with the outcome he nodded his head out of respect to her. ' My turn..' I also took a chance to cursty to her. ' Judging by how Inuyasha just acted..She must be just a human priestess then up close...' Thinking that I smiled proud that i was wrong for a change.
