When it started getting darker it got a little colder. I grabbed my bag and went through it to grab my black and purple sweatshirt. They watched me put it on. I continued to look at the campfire as it was now twilight.

"So why were you traveling with my beloved InuYasha?" Jakotsu asked me.

"He saved my life from a snake demon and Kagome told me that I could tag along." I explained

"Where is your family?" Renkotsu asked me.

I sighed. I really didn't want to answer this question because I knew I would end up in tears but I guess I would anyway. "I ran away." I told them straight out. "Why?" Renkotsu questioned. "Because they never loved me and never wanted me not even my twin brother Alex. Love was all I wanted. Now if you excuse me I am going to go for a walk." I told them as I got up and grabbed my bag. I found the way out of the village and went to sit by the nearby river. I looked up at the sky that was getting darker with every second. 'The stars are so pretty and clear. I remember when we all used to look at the stars. When they still loved me and didn't hurt me'. I rummaged through my bag and found a picture of my family. I started to cry. 'They never really loved me did they? Why did they want to hurt me and disown me. They aren't looking for me at all. They are probably glad I'm gone.' I was now crying hard. I then heard footsteps. I wiped away my tears "You don't have to come after me. I'm fine, so you can go back to the fire." I told the person not knowing who it was.

The person sat behind me. "Really I don't need someone to baby sit me. I just want to be left alone." I told the person behind me. I sighed as I heard the person not leaving. I turned around to hit the person in the face but I found out it was Bankotsu and grabbed my hand in mid punch stopping the motion. He let go of it. I turned back to face the river. I looked down at the grass. "What do you want?" I asked him.

"I just want to sit." He told me.

"I don't believe you. You just want to make sure I don't run off because of this Naraku character." I told him

He didn't say a word for a few moments. "Why did you really run away?" He asked me.

"I told you already." I told him.

"There is more." He told me as if he saw throug my lie

I sighed "You really want to know? Everything was fine before my brother and I turned ten. Then he became their favorite and I was the unwanted child. I was hit and I tried to kill myself mutliple times at the age of fifteen and when my parents found out about my attempted suicides they beat me harder. I was just sick of it all so I ran away." I explained crying. I moved closer to the river. "All I wanted was to be loved and I was until I was ten." I added. Bankotsu didn't say anything, he was just listening, something no one has done while around me for a while. "Why does Naraku want me?" I asked him looking up at the stars slowly appearing in the sky as it got darker. I was still crying.

"I don't know I haven't asked him but I will try to ask him. Now come it's getting late. If your out here by yourself you won't have any protection." Bankotsu told me.

"You're here with me now so I'm in good hands unless you don't have your big sword." I told him.
"I have my Banryuu so if there was a demon to come after us I could kill it. Plus it's getting cold out here." He told me.

I sighed "I suppose that would be a good idea." I told him as I put the picture of my family away. I got up and grabed my bag. I wiped away the remaining tears. Bankotsu got up and grabbed his Banyruu. We started to walk back to the village. Before we got to the entrance I stopped "Hey Bankotsu why did you really come and sit with me?" I asked him. He stopped walking and stood there in silence for a minute. "I wanted to make sure that you weren't going to run away." He told me. "Now lighten up we have a big day ahead of us. No need to be moping around it might slow us down." He told me. "Where are we going exactly?" I asked him. "Some demon slayer village that was abandoned." He told me. We continued to walk until we got to the campfire.

When we arived we found the others to be sleeping. I smiled at this on how peaceful they looked. 'Even though they are merciless killers they seem so peaceful. How could a merciless killer be so nice?' I questioned.I laid down on a blanket using my bag as my pillow. Bankotsu laid down on a blanket across from me. I turned around so he could see my back. I felt as though as I was being watched by Bankotsu.

~Meanwhile~

"What would Emily have to do with the band of seven?" Miruko questioned.
"Whatever it is Naraku must be behind it." InuYasha said.

Kagome sighed "First thing is first Emily couldn't of been from this era because her clothes are too modern." Kagome told them.
"So she came though a well like Kagome?" Shippo questioned.

"It could be possible but Emily can't be a priestess or have anything to do with the shikon jewel." Sango said.

"There is a legend of a priestess who married a demon slayer and they had a child and she grew up to be a powerful priestess. Her father taught her to fight and she was very beautiful before being captured and killed at the age of thirty she had a child with her husband. It is said that if her reincarnation or her family member would come back and could ressurect her body and sheek revenge or was it that the person would come back and help get rid of demons? I can't really remember that last part but that is the legend I've heard of." Miruko explained.
"So are you suggesting that Emily could be the ancestor of this powerful Priestess?" Kagome asked.

"It is possible but I can't be certain but that is why Naraku proabably wanted her." Miruko said.

"Well we will have to get to the band of seven before they reach Naraku." InuYasha said.

"First we need sleep." Kagome said as she got into her sleeping bag.
"We'll start looking in the morning." Sango said before she laid down and went to sleep.
