Heart of Tensaiga
Rains That Bring Ominous Spirits
A few days later and the rains had showed up and poured down on the group as they walked in search of their friend. Kilala hated that her paws were getting muddy, Inuyasha hated that they were restricted from flying, Miroku loved that the females were getting wet, and Sango hated being out in the rain.
With a sigh of relief, Sango pointed at a blurred image in the near distance, "Look Inuyasha, it's a town. Perhaps we can settle there for the night?"
Inuyasha let out a 'keh' but decided he would allow it. He did not need his human companions getting sick, "Fine, but only so you don't get all sick on me. We don't need anything slowing us down."
So with trudging feet they made their way to the town which had hunkered down for the rains to come. Once to the inn they found the owner, a nice elder gentleman that greeted them with a smile, "Is there something I can do for you? It's not every day we get strangers like yourselves travelling through here."
Katsumi opened her mouth to speak but it was Miroku that beat her to it, "I do not want to worry you but there is an ominous presence over this inn. I offer my talents as a monk to purify your inn of the evil that attempts to taint it."
The old man looked shocked, "Yes, of course! In return I offer a place to sleep and a warm meal."
