Chapter 2: And So It Begins

"Can't we get there any faster?" InuYasha complained. They had to take a boat across a very wide lake, and they could only go so fast. He guessed that the sun would start to set soon and they still had a good two miles to go.

"Patience, we'll get there soon enough." Miroku reassured him. InuYasha growled and stared at the sun. (A/N: No, it's a myth that you'll go blind staring at the sun. It WILL damage your eyes, but you won't go blind. How many times have you watched the sun set?) Kagome rummaged through her bag, in search of something.

"Kagome, what are you looking for?" Sango asked, a little curiosity in her voice. InuYasha's gazed stayed on the sun and sky. Miroku turned to face her. Naturally, Shippo was hanging over the side of the boat.

"Aha! Found it." She said, holding up a small forest green book. "It's my school planner. I need to find out what tests I've missed. I need to study." She looked at Shippo.

"Shippo, why don't you ride Kirara?" Sango asked. The whole group couldn't fit on Kirara's back without hurting the poor thing, so she sat on Sango's lap.

"Ughh…okay…" The sick little fox demon climbed up onto Kirara.

"You'd think a demon wouldn't get sea sickness…" InuYasha stated, obviously trying to get Shippo mad.

"InuYasha! Si-" Kagome was cut off before she could finishing saying the word.

"No!" Sango and Miroku shouted in unison and covered Kagome's mouth with their palms.

If you say 'Sit', InuYasha will be pulled down into the bottom of the boat, and we could all flip over," Miroku explained. InuYasha seemed to look relieved. His gaze returned to the sky and he gasped.

"The suns starting to set!" He said. And sure enough, everyone looked toward the large yellow star, and it was definitely starting to go down.

"Yeah, so?" Shippo said. He was feeling a lot better from on top of Kirara.

"The new moon is tonight," Kagome explained. No one noticed how close to the shore they were, until the boat hit the land. "Heh, not too soon!" InuYasha jumped out of the boat and waited for the others.

"Come on Kagome," she got down on one knee so Kagome could get on his back while Sango and Miroku got onto Kirara. InuYasha started sniffing the air. "no…" his voice trailed off.

"I sense a jewel shard…" Kagome said slowly.

"Never mind him, we need to get to the village!" InuYasha started running but was stopped by a man in a white baboon mask.

"Hello, InuYasha." Naraku said.


Kim: dun dun dunnnnnnnnn!

Kim: I need 3 reviews for chapter 3
