Chapter 14
Kurama's POV
I have been in the past for a while now. When I arrived here I found a village not to far from the well. It turned out that that village was the one where Kagome and her friends meet up at to rest and wait for her when she returns to the present.
The miko of the village was a kind old woman. She had told me that Kagome and her friends had gone off to search for Hiei and the jewel shards.
It doesn't really surprise me that Hiei left. In fact I'm surprised that he didn't leave sooner.
The kind old miko told me her name was Kaede and she pointed me in the direction that she saw them leave in. I had thanked her and been quickly on my way.
Since then I've had no luck with finding them. Thanks to my demon side and my ability with plants though it's been easy to find my way through forests.
Just the other day I had a feeling that something bad was happening. I am unsure if it had something to do with the present or if it had something to do with Hiei. But after a while the feeling faded.
It must have had something to do with Hiei though because Koenma had giving me a communicator that was designed to be able to connect between where I was in the past and to him in the Spirit World in the present. To make sure that it worked I tried it out when I first arrived in the past.
When it was working Koenma told me that he would contact me if something bad happened in the present and I was needed.
Since then I haven't heard anything. I suppose no news is good news.
I think that if my lucky doesn't get any better I will turn back to the village. Sooner or later I'm bound to find them.
Sango's POV
After we had bandaged Hiei up we decided to head back to Kaede's village. I had Kilala transform and carry Hiei on her back.
The trip back to the village had taken a few days and Hiei still had not woken up. When we lied Hiei down in Kaede's hut we decided to change his bandages again.
Hiei's wounds were slowly healing and some of the cuts were having trouble closing. His condition had me worried. For a demon his wounds were healing way to slow. We informed Kaede and she said she would gather some herbs and try those out.
When she had returned with the herbs we proceeded to mix them and put them on Hiei wounds. After we were done we put fresh bandages on him.
It was beginning to get dark so Kaede started to cook dinner.
"Oh yes! Kagome do ye know of someone called Kurama?" Kaede asked.
When Kagome heard Kaede ask her that question we stopped talking and she looked over to Kaede.
"Yes. But how do you know him? I haven't even told you about him?" Kagome asked.
"A stranger of that name came to the village a few days ago. He said he was a friend of yours and that he was here searching for one of his friends," Kaede explained.
I looked over to Kagome and asked, "Who's Kurama?"
"I guess Inuyasha didn't mention him. But Kurama and two other people saved my family and me from a demon. As it turns out Kurama and those other two are friends of Hiei. But what I don't understand is how he got here? They told me they didn't have any way to get here and Hiei was sent here by another demon that they're trying to kill," Kagome explained to the others and me.
"Why were they after this demon? Just to stop it from harming any humans?" Miroku asked.
That's when Kagome explained some things about them. Mostly just that they protected humans from demons.
From what I heard about the other three it sounded believable, but I found it hard to believe that Hiei would protect humans. He seemed like the kind of person that only watched out for himself. I guess there are still some things we don't know about him.
Later that night after dinner I asked Kagome more about her new friends from her time. She said she still didn't know them that well to call them friends but would like to be able to call them that.
Kagome told me more about them from what they had told them. Their story was very interesting. Especially the one called Yusuke.
'Maybe since he was able to come back to life than maybe…'
Kagome bought me back out of my thoughts. She had asked me if I was all right because I hadn't been answering her. I told her that I was fine and that I was just tired.
Shortly after that we all decided to go to bed. I was unable to sleep. It must have been because of what Kagome told me.
I sat up in my sleeping bag and looked over to Hiei. He was still asleep.
'I wonder if he can tell me more clearly how his friend came back to life?'
After I thought that I realized that even if he did know he probably wouldn't tell me. That's when I remembered something.
I remembered back to when I went looking for him and he was looking at something. He had put it into his pocket and never said anything about it. Maybe if I can get my hands on it then in exchange for telling me what I wanted to know he could have whatever it is back.
I got up out of my sleeping bag and made my way over to him quietly. When I was next to him I pulled down the blanket that was on him so that I could reach into his pocket. Soon I found what I was looking for.
When I pulled it out I looked at it. It was a small jewel, about the size of the Shikon Jewel but a different color. The jewel was a light blue color and I was barely able to see through it with a looped string attached to it.
'This is what he's always carrying around with him? Why doesn't he want any of us to see it?'
I looked back down to Hiei.
'Why would he be hiding it? Guess I'll know soon enough.'
With that thought I got back up and went back to my sleeping bag to try and go to sleep.
Morning
I woke up at the first sign of light. As I got up it seemed like some of the others were just getting up as well. When I got up I looked over to Hiei. He was still asleep.
'Guess I'll go practice with my sword,' I thought to myself.
I turned to the others that were awake and told them that I was going out to train a little. With that I grabbed my weapons and headed for the outskirts of the village.
Normal POV
Miroku watched as Sango ran out of the hut with her weapons. He decided to get up and follow her.
When he reached the doorway he saw her run of in a direction. He started off after her.
Sango had finally stopped in the clearing with the Bone Eaters Well.
Miroku hid behind a tree and watched her. She had put down her weapons except for her sword and sat on the rim of the well after she looked around to see if anyone was around. When she did that he remained extra careful, knowing that one wrong move would give his presence away.
After she was done looking she reached into her Kimono and pulled something out. Miroku strained his eyes to see what she was holding. At first it looked like the Shikon Jewel. But after he looked again he noticed that it was a different color and that it was whole.
'Where did Sango get that?'
Sango started to roll the small jewel in her hand as she examined it. She then took it by its string and held it in the air in the sun to get a better look at it.
"What's so special about this thing anyway? It just looks like a plain old jewel to me," Sango said out loud as she continued to stare at it.
Miroku tried to reposition himself to get a better look at the jewel and accidentally stepped on a twig, effetely breaking.
Sango quickly put the jewel away and looked over to where she heard the noise.
"Who's there!? Show yourself!" Sango yelled out to where she knew her spy was.
Miroku had tried to freeze in place when he stepped on the twig, but deep down he knew it was pointless to try and remain hidden.
Quickly he recollected himself and stepped out into the open.
"Oh. Hello there Sango. What are you doing out her?" Miroku asked, waving and smiling at the same time as he walked over to her.
When Sango saw that it was only Miroku she removed her hand from the hilt of her sword.
"You know you're lucky Miroku. If I had been holding my hiraikotsu I might have killed you," Sango said.
Miroku let out a nervous laugh. When he reached her he decided to stop playing around and got a serious look on his face and asked, "What is that item that you took from Hiei?"
Sango look surprised at his question.
"So you were awake huh?" Sango asked.
"Yes."
Sango looked down at the ground. Miroku looked at her worriedly.
"What is it Sango?"
Sango lifted her head and looked back to Miroku.
"The other night after we ate I asked Kagome more about her new friends from her and Hiei's time. She told me that one of them… Yusuke I think his name is came back to life once. But she couldn't really explain that more to me because she didn't really understand it herself either," Sango explained.
Miroku started to ease his look on her, starting to understand what she was thinking.
Sango then got a determined look in her eyes.
"I want to understand it more! I want to understand how he was able to return from the dead, not need anything to keep him alive and still be in full control of himself! That's why I took this from Hiei."
Sango pulled out Hiei's jewel.
"He has to know something! But I know that he won't tell me willingly so that's why I took this. I've caught him looking at it once. He quickly hid it and never said anything about it. It must mean something to him! And if he wants it back than he's going to have to tell me what I want to know!"
After Sango finished pouring out how she felt and what she was planning to do she started to breakdown in tears. Miroku quickly stepped up to her and held her in a tight embrace.
Sango started to shake as she continued to cry into Miroku's robes.
"It's going to be alright Sango. Everything will turn out alright," Miroku whispered to her as he rested his head on head.
End Chapter 14
Good god. I don't know where that came from but I think it was pretty damn good. It just came out of nowhere. Man I can't get over how I did that. It wasn't even planned. I even got a little depressed as I typed that. Please let me know how you guys think I did with that last part. I really want to know what you guys think.
