Previously in A Journey in Search of Something More…
'Why do you have to push your self? I promise I'll do what ever it takes to protect you, Hikari.'
"Finally! Do you know how boring it is being you?" Daisuke sighed relaxing in the bean bag chair. "So what is your decision?" He continued.
"What about my parents?" Zen asked looking at Daisuke half asleep.
"They only came back for the night, now I need your answer." Daisuke replied.
"Why should I give you an answer?" Zen sighed falling back on his pillow and looking up at the dark ceiling.
Daisuke snapped his fingers. "You want to protect her don't you?"
"Do you want to protect her or let her die?" Daisuke questioned.
"Hikari what are you insane? You could have gotten killed."
"I'll come with you." Rokuro said with a smile. Her eyes widened slightly.
"W-what?! No you-"
"Besides we're in enough trouble as it is, so if you go I go." Rokuro interrupted her turning his gaze towards of one of the windows.
"I…" Hikari sighed, realizing that no matter what she said it wouldn't make a difference.
"Thanks."
Chapter 11: A New Companion.
Hikari was leaning against a branch. A small fire was a blaze a few feet away form where Rokuro was sleeping. It's been a few days since they started their adventure. She looked up at the night sky, her pitch black bangs hung over her eyes. Fiddling with her necklace she thought about the dance and what happened.
"Who was he?" She mumbled to herself.
After a few minuets of thinking she closed her eyes and listened to the soft rhythm of the crickets. Then she fell asleep.
~7:00 a.m.~
"Hikari are you okay?" Rokuro questioned as they walked through the forest. The dew on the leaves shimmered in the dim sunlight.
"I'm fine I just didn't get a lot of sleep last night." She answered looking up at the trees.
"Are you still worried about Zen?" He asked.
"OF COURSE I'M WORRIED, HE'S MY BEST FRIEND!" Hikari shouted.
"Ok, ok I was just asking." Rokuro muttered waving his hands in front of himself.
They walked in silence for a while.
"Finally…a road." Hikari stated.
"Yea but where does it lead to?" Rokuro asked.
"Well there's only one way to find out." She said walking on to the path.
"How did I know she was going to say that?" Rokuro sighed in defeat as he followed.
~About 3 hours later~
"Hikari, I'm tired and my feet hurt, can we take a break?" Rokuro whined.
"Fine, even though we've only been walking for a few hours I don't see why not."
"Yes!"
Hikari and Rokuro sat down and relaxed for a little while. Rokuro frowned as his stomach growled quietly.
"We should have grabbed some food before we left."
"If we keep walking we're bound to fine something to eat or a town." Hikari stated.
"Alright"
"And what do we have here a couple of human's out on a stroll?" A voice questioned.
"Who's there?" Rokuro said looking around.
"It's a demon."
"The girl catches on quick." Another voice said.
"But is she fast enough to react?" The younger sounding voice said.
One of the young demon's daggers was a centimeter away from her neck.
"I guess not." He laughed about to slice her throat.
"ROKURO NOW!" Hikari shouted.
"Got cha' you're not going anywhere." The second demon said.
"They're Wolf demons, Hikari this is bad." Rokuro coughed as he was being held against a tree.
"Alright you win we'll go with out a fight." Hikari sighed.
"What Hikari are you crazy they're going to kill us." Rokuro Yelled.
"We don't have a choice we're cornered." Hikari whispered as she was pushed to her knees so her hands could be tied.
'She's got a plan; I just wish she would let me in on it.' Rokuro thought as they were carried away to there doom.
"Father we're back." The one with the daggers said.
"And what do we have here? A couple of useless humans." The Leader stated.
Hikari and Rokuro were thrown to the ground.
"Wait before you eat us can I at least know your name." Hikari stated not looking up at the Wolf demon.
"Considering it's your last moments of life I don't see why not. My name is Koga." He replied.
Hikari smiled "I'll remember that."
"What?! Akio grab her!" Koga yelled.
But Hikari was already up and charging at Koga.
"Where do you think you're going girl?" Akio asked slashing his nails at her.
As he did that Hikari did a back flip and Akio's nails cut the rope that bounded her hands together.
"What?!" 'Humph… this kid's smarter than I thought'. Hikari jumped behind Rokuro and untied his ropes.
"Thanks." Rokuro laughed.
"Don't mention it." Hikari laughed as well.
She pulled out her sword.
"You didn't take her sword?" Koga shouted.
"Her sword has a barrier around it we couldn't touch it." Akio answered.
"Great." Koga sighed.
Hikari closed her eyes and took her necklace off and slipped it into her pocket.
'This girl's scent completely changed. What is she?' Akio thought taking out his twin daggers.
"Ready Rokuro?" Hikari said facing Akio and Koga.
"Go!" Rokuro smirked. And they went off in different directions.
With her eyes still closed Hikari ran towards Akio and swung her sword. Akio quickly knocked her sword out of her hands.
"You're not very good with a sword." Akio Smirked.
Hikari grabbed the arm that was closest to her.
"How the hell did you do that?" He said in shock.
Hikari opened her eyes. Her pupils were slit, as Akio kept his eyes locked on her as her nails dug into his wrist. He quickly pulled away from her. Blood dripped from the five cuts in his wrist.
"What are you?" He growled.
"My name is Hikari." She replied. "Koga you should know my mother, you had a crush on her when she was younger and my father…you always fought over her."
Everyone stopped fighting and looked at Koga.
"You mean Kagome. So that means she also had a daughter." Koga answered.
"Yes that's right, and that's Rokuro, he's the son of Sango and Miroku." Hikari said pointing at Rokuro when she said his name.
"What are you two doing then?" Koga Questioned.
"We're looking for my brother and father." She answered looking down at the floor. "But we haven't found anything."
"Why are you sending yourselves on a wild goose chase?" Akio asked.
"Koga if you want to see my mother again she's at the Sango's house, Rokuro, how far do you think your house is from here?" Hikari stated.
"For us two day's even on Kyo, but for them I think about an hour to two hours." Rokuro replied.
"Well there you go have a good time seeing my mother and tell her we're doing just fine, see ya." Hikari sighed walking past Akio and Koga.
Rokuro followed.
"Wait Hikari" Akio shouted sprinting over to her.
"What?" She groaned turning around.
"How about I travel with you two. I mean you can't expect a human to protect you all the time" Akio exclaimed.
"Whatever." Hikari sighed not stopping.
"Where could they have gone?" Kagome pouted walking back and forth in front of Sango's house.
"K-Kagome, is that you?" He asked.
Kagome looked up and her eyes lit up "Inuyasha!" She shouted running over and hugged him.
"What are you doing here Kagome?" Inuyasha questioned not letting go.
"I think waiting fourteen years is long enough, so I came back." She answered.
"You shouldn't have come back, it's too dangerous and Naraku is back." He said with a bit of hatred in his voice when Naraku came to mind.
"We were going to start searching for you, but a few days ago Hikari and Rokuro ran away." Sango said walking over to them.
"Wait here we're going to go and get Miroku." Kagome laughed running off with Sango.
"Who's Hikari? She must be one of Sango and Miroku's kids." Inuyasha stated.
"Inuyasha!" Yelled and angry Koga.
Inuyasha turned around and was slugged in the face.
"What the hell did you do that for Koga?" Inuyasha shouted clutching his cheek.
"You god damn mother fucking bastard, how could you do that to her?" Koga demanded grabbing Inuyasha's kimono.
"I came back to Kagome didn't I? So why the hell are you hitting me?" Inuyasha asked getting out of Koga's grasp.
"Not Kagome you dumass, Hikari." He replied.
"Who is Hikari?" Inuyasha questioned.
"She's your daughter." Koga answered.
"I don't have a daughter; you know that Hiroshi is an only child." He exclaimed.
"Koga's right Inuyasha, Hikari is your daughter." Kagome said.
"I'm Bored."
"I'm hungry."
"Are we there yet?" Rokuro complained.
"Will you just shut up, you stupid human." Akio shouted throwing a punch at Rokuro.
He caught Akio's fist "I let the first one go, you started pushing it when you started complaining about me tagging along, and now you've pushed it to far by throwing that punch. All you had to say was that's enough complaining, but now you get to see first hand what a demon slayer can do." Said Rokuro punching Akio in the gut.
Akio took out one of his swords and went after Rokuro. His blade clashed with another.
"Stop it both of you… this is not how comrades are suppose to act towards one another. They are supposed to protect one another, not kill each other. Now put away your sword Akio." Hikari stated putting hers away.
"Why should I? Oh and one more thing I don't take orders from a human." Akio laughed swinging his blade.
Hikari redirected Akio's attack right in to the ground. In a blur he pulled out his other blade and swung at Hikari. She caught his wrist and squeezed it.
"You're pathetic, how do you expect to do anything with how weak you are?" Hikari muttered.
Akio grabbed her collar with his free hand and slammed her up against a tree. The chain snapped on her necklace but she still didn't change. "You have a smart mouth you little brat, I may look young but I've been alive hundred's of years more than you have."
"Oh look's like I hit a nerve didn't I."
"I'm going to choke you to death then I'll take that jewel shards you have." Akio laughed squeezing her throat harder.
Hikari started to choke for air.
"Damn it Akio what are you doing?" Rokuro Questioned.
"I'm not going to kill her I just want to put her back in her place" Akio answered with a pleased smirk on his face.
"Let go." Hikari choked out.
Akio fell down to the ground in pain "God damn it, son of a bitch." Akio muttered (I think you know where she kicked him.)
Hikari didn't care all she wanted to do was be able to breath again. "That's… what happens… when you… start choking me…" Hikari said between breaths.
Rokuro tried so hard not to laugh when Hikari kick him but he just couldn't hold it in any more, he burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at? You wouldn't be laughing if she did this to you." Akio groaned.
"I'm sorry it's just so funny, a demon fell to his knees because he was kicked in the nuts." Rokuro laughed.
"Would you like to know how it feels?"
"No I'm good thanks."
It's been about two hours since that incident and now they were back on track and on their way.
"Akio" Hikari muttered.
"What is it?" He asked annoyed.
"I'm sorry."
"It's ok, just don't do it again."
"Fine, then don't choke me again."
"Fine."
"Fine." Then they both looked away from each other.
Around 7:30 they decided to camp for the night. Hikari was the first to fall asleep. Akio and Rokuro sat silently around the fire. Well Rokuro sat by the fire and Akio was up in a tree about 5 yards away from the camp. Rokuro had a gentle expression on his face as he watched Hikari sleep.
"Are you going to go to sleep or not?" Akio stated glaring at Rokuro.
"Why should I? Besides what if you try to run away while Hikari and I are asleep?"
"Please like I would run away."
"I still don't care, I'm going to stay up all night and watch you if I have to."
"Suet your self." then Akio went back to looking up at the dark night sky.
Within five minuets Rokuro fell asleep.
"I knew he couldn't do it." Akio smirked not looking back at the two again for the rest of the night.
~7a.m~
"So… how much longer until we get to the well?" Rokuro questioned with a hint of boredom in his voice.
"It's about an hour away, be patient." Hikari answered.
She was right about an hour later they were at the well.
"So what now?" Akio asked placing his weight on one leg.
Hikari sat down on the side of the well. "Now I go home for a couple of days figure out what I missed then come back." Hikari stated.
"Please don't kill each other while I'm gone." Hikari sighed looking at the two boys.
"Whatever." Rokuro groaned placing his hands behind his head and looking in another direction.
"Do you hear something?" Hikari asked looking around.
"Yea it sounds like something's rushing threw the trees." Akio replied also looking around.
"AKIO LOOK OUT!" Hikari Yelled pointing behind him.
Akio turned around to look in the direction that Hikari was pointing in and ended up getting punched square in the face by Daisuke. Causing him the fall backwards into Hikari making them fall down the well.
