Chapter 15: Hotsprings
The village was busy with life the sights were new to the nin's and they drank in the oddities they sold. No one batted an eye at the large sword Zabuza carried or the odd attire they wore. It was almost nice to be somewhat at ease in this place. Children ran around giggling or play fighting in the streets. Odd creatures roamed beside them, Kakashi vaguely recalled a conversation with Kagome about the creatures being demonic pets. They were related to normal cats in some kind of fashion. They continued on stopping so often to gaze at the finely crafted weapons too some of the paintings. By the time they had made rounds on the entire village the sun was sinking lower against the horizon.
Miroku leaned against the outside wall deep in meditation. But slowly he began to stir at their approach, reading their aura as it encroached on him. "I take it you wish to finish the story?" Only a nod from the silver haired man had the monk rising up and stating something about the got springs would be a good idea. Zabuza grunted his displeasure of being withheld information, yet he went along with the monk. Kakashi simply pulled his orange book out and continued to read till they reached the hot spring. Quickly three men sat in a large circle soaking up the heated mineral water.
"Speak monk"
Zabuza stated while removing the bandages from his face too reveal his face for the first time. Mouth set into a permanent scowl as he waited. Kakashi too removed his head band and mask, revealing the scar that ran down the left side of his face, over his eye yet it also revealed his own sharingan to the world. Zabuza tensed at seeing the red orb, it confirmed the rumors he had heard about this man.
"Ah were was I, that's right Lady Kagome had shattered the jewel. That's when her travels through this land with Inu-yasha and soon they met a fox kit named Shippo, me and then Sango. We joined together to defeat a common enemy known as Naraku. The half breed had been collecting the shards to gain the full power of the jewel and become a full demon. It was he that pinned the lovers against one another, slain Sango's family and cursed my own with a wind tunnel in my hand. Kagome was pushed past any limits a normal person had, she had her soul stolen from her; brainwashed and had her heart broken a million times by that stupid pup. Gave up her life in her time to make sure this one was safe. Defeated the monster with a single arrow when all of us failed. If anyone can help you get home it's Lady Kagome."
Kakashi sat there in silence absorbing the story that was spoken, filing the information away for the time being. Zabuza doing the same thing before lifting a hand to the beads around his neck. "Can you remove these blasted things!" His voice floated over to Miroku who chuckled softly but shook his head no. "No, only Kagome can...what ever you did to earn those beads I want no part of, the same goes for you as well Kakashi."
