Evadeny had, for the most part, successfully avoided the monk called Miroku for several days now. It had proven to be a difficult endeavor as she had started traveling with the group in search of some way to get back home. Shippo was still very much attached to her and hadn't really strayed far from her except when it was bath time. Evadeny was extremely shy and wouldn't even bathe with Kagome and Sango. She would wait till they were done before she'd take her turn. This was also a way to make sure that the monk wasn't anywhere near by when she was getting dressed; Kagome or Sango made sure of that. Aside from that she had managed to fit into the group decently enough and didn't really slow them down too much. Though she still couldn't defend herself, Sango and Shippo gave her tips and tried to help her where they could. Sango had become something of a 'mother' figure toward Evadeny, because she tended to see the world through rose colored glasses sometimes and she needed guidance desperately.
InuYasha was getting really fidgety though. There hadn't been any sign of the jewel shards that they keep going on about. And there hadn't been any demon attacks either. It had been oddly peaceful according to him; Sango and Miroku agreed. This suited Evadeny, she didn't want to meet a demon if she could help it. InuYasha was only a half-demon and he already scared her enough. She had managed to warm up to the two tailed demon cat, Kirara, but that took some coaxing from Shippo and Kagome before she'd even get close to her. InuYasha had voiced his displeasure with her skittishness. She decided to suck it up and became friends with the cat just to make him eat his words.
They were headed in the direction they had last heard the man called Naraku had been, but other than that they had no real destination. They had just packed up the camp they had stayed at overnight and were continuing on their way when they heard the inhuman cry of demon close by. Evadeny's head shot up so fast and with such force, to look in the direction the cry had come from, that she had practically spun herself completely around, her eyes wide with fright.
"What was that?" She asked trying to see through the forest. No one answered her though. They didn't really need too. Shippo had jumped up onto her shoulder as they waited for the demon to make its appearance.
"Don't worry Eva. I'll protect you." He said looking confident but the sound of his voice betrayed him. He was still young after all and hadn't learned to use his fox magic very well yet. He would, however, do his best and Evadeny knew it and it worried her. She didn't want him to hurt himself if she could help it.
They felt the earth shacking under their feet as every step the demon took told them that it was a very large demon and even worse it was heading towards them. The roars got closer and thus louder and Evadeny was beside herself in fear. She didn't know what to do. She wanted to hide but knew it would do her no good sense Sango had told her that most demons have a great sense of smell and it would useless to hide. She knew she couldn't run either because she couldn't defend herself if she got caught by herself. So she was stuck, her baser instincts being refused, so when the demon finally emerged from the trees, its intimidating mass, and masculine form scared the living daylights out of her. it resembled a giant bear and Evadeny was so lost in fright she couldn't comprehend the following events. A bright light exploded from Evadeny's chest blinding everyone, even the bear demon. When the light faded Evadeny had passed out on the ground and two men were standing over her defensively. They looked down at Evadeny and the one with light green hair, bent down and checked her pulse.
"She's alright." He said his voice was smooth and gentle but it was monotone, it seemed as if he couldn't care less if she was actually alright. The other man with bright red hair, brighter even than Shippo's , nodded and looked around.
"I don't think she's in any danger from these people but that bear over there is another story." His voice was loud and carried easily. It wasn't soothing like the other mans but it wasn't emotionless either. The green haired man took off his dark teal coat and placed it under Evadeny's head. As he stood he turned his attention to the bear demon.
"Are you going to take care of it, or do I have too?" He asked in his bored tone. The red head rolled his eyes.
"What do you think?" He said as he took an offensive stance and just as he was about to attack the demon InuYasha suddenly sliced the bear in two with his sword. Catching the two strangers off guard, they watched as InuYasha turned his attention to them. They both took defensive fighting positions watching him carefully. They weren't going to attack unless threatened.
"Where the hell did you two come from?" He asked sounding irritated swinging his sword over his shoulder. "I didn't sense you anywhere around here and your Dragon aura's are too strong to miss. Are you here for Evadeny?" He looked as if he was laid back but the two dragons could tell that was only a front. Neither of them answered him.
"Dragon aura's?" Kagome asked suddenly. She had been watching them in silence unsure of how to react to them, it seemed to her that they came from Evadeny herself and she wasn't sure what that meant. The man with red hair looked over his shoulder at Kagome and smiled.
"Yeah, never seen a dragon before?" He asked sounding smug and proud. She blushed in indignation. His tone made her feel like he had just insulted her.
"Well I've never seen them look human before." She mumbled under her breath. He huffed a laugh and returned his attention to InuYasha.
"Actually, to answer your question, yes, we are." The green hair man said. "We were summoned so we assumed it was to protect our summoner. We didn't know she had companion's that could protect her. We only knew she was scared and needed help."
"Your summoner?" Kagome said out loud confused but not really searching for an answer, she was ignored anyways.
"So… what? You're only purpose here was to save her?" InuYasha asked pointing at Evadeny, with his sword, whom was still passed out on the ground.
"Pretty much." The red head said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. InuYasha glared at them but did nothing. They were not going to hurt anyone as long they didn't try to hurt Evadeny it seemed and they weren't going to hurt her so he didn't need to fight them. But he still didn't trust them.
"So I guess we wait for her to wake up and explain things." InuYasha said finally sheathing his sword.
"Her summons was rushed… I doubt she even knows she did it." The green haired man said as he took a seat next to her.
"How did she summon two of us if she's not even aware she summoned us?" The red head asked sounding perplexed. The green haired man shrugged.
"Humans can do amazing in desperate times." Was all he could supply for an answer.
After a while Kagome decided she'd had enough of this. Those two dragons had been guarding Evadeny all day and she hadn't had a chance to check on her the whole time. Even Shippo had stayed away and InuYasha was getting grumpier the longer they sat there. The aura's the two dragons exerted was intimidating and hard to get used too. But Kagome was determined and approached them. They watched her approach but made no move to stop her as she moved to Evadeny and checked her vitals. She sighed satisfied that she was alright. She was in fact just sleeping so as stealthily as she could she pinched Evadeny's nose closed. It only took a moment before Evadeny sprang to life gasping for air, flailing her arms, and surprising everyone for a moment, except the expectant Kagome; who was currently trying to suppress a giggle.
When Evadeny calmed down from her rude awakening and had a look about herself she tapped the giggling Kagome on the shoulder, "Kagome, who are they?" She asked pointing at the two dragons sitting right next to her. Kagome stopped giggling as the realization that they weren't going to get any answers from her sunk in. Which meant InuYasha was going to be even more irritable.
