Heart of Tensaiga
A Shaky Alliance
She listened intently as the fires cackled and the demon slayers voice filled the area with the sound of their group's tale. So this is the group that has taken it upon themselves to go after Naraku? I cannot believe they managed to lose their priestess. Still, she could see they all mourned the girl's loss and so she could not berate them too much. It was a major blow to power and morale.
"So you are in search of the priestess Kagome?" she inquired when all was silent once again.
Miroku gave a small nod, "Indeed, though we have found no leads recently to indicate where she may be."
Shippo gave a small sniff at the talk of Kagome and her still missing state. He hated to think of what had probably happened to her. His ears twitched slightly when he heard the new girl, Katsumi, call his name. "What did you say?" he asked, trying not to let the tears fall. He was a boy after all and boys did not cry, at least not in front of girls.
"I said to come here for a moment," her smile was sympathetic and something about it drew the small kit to her.
She picked him up gently and placed him in her lap to which he let out a small "Hey" of defiance. His protests quieted immediately when she started stroking his hair and down his back. "I shall help you find this Kagome."
Inuyasha's responded with a, "Keh."
