"We're going on a shard hunt already??" Mizuki asked. "But we just got here!""Yes, I know, Mi. But even though the Shikon No Tama isn't complete, the shards are very powerful by themselves. And we can not let the shards fall into the wrong hands." Kagome replied with a sad look on her face."heh, like Naraku." Inu-yasha added while crossing his arms.
At this time, the others walk into the hut, all with a grim look on their faces. It was like they knew what was being talked about."Isn't that the guy who started this whole thing?" Mizuki asked. "Yeah... he did." Sango replied."And the sooner we get rid of him, the better." Miroku added. Both Sango and Miroku looked like someone had killed their puppies... The breif conversation seemed to put them in a gloomy mood.
Mizuki remembered Naraku's name from the story Kagome told her not too long ago. Naraku was the one behind so much pain and suffering. She was told what had happened to Sango's whole village, everyone was killed, with the exception of her and her younger brother, Kohaku. Sango couldn't even grieve with her only family because Naraku controled him with on of the jewel shards. Next was Miroku and his wind tunnel, to which would one day swallow him whole. The wind tunnel was passed down to him from his grandfather after he was cursed by Naraku. Then there was what happened to Inuyasha and Kikyo... Forced to betray each other's love. Thus causing Kikyo's untimely death, Inuyasha being stuck to the sacri tree and Kagome being dragged into the whole mess.
-------------
The group had been traveling for a few days, much to Inuyasha's dismay. It was taking longer than usual with Mizuki joining them, since they had to go by foot. Normally, Inuyasha would carry Kagome while Miroku, Sango and Shippo would ride Kirara. The group had finally come across a village in their path.'Must be a city rather than a village... its just way to big' Mizuki thought to herself. 'It would be nice if we could stay here instead of camping out again...' Mizuki never minded the ocasional camping trip in the past, but this seemed to be getting rediculous. Inuyasha turned down every village they had suggested staying the night at.As if right on cue, Mirou spoke up. "It will be gettin dark soon..""Yeah and?" Sango replyed while turning to the monk, giving him the all knowing look. She seemed to know the drill, they worked so well together, it was too funny. "I think we should stop here and find a place to stay for the night, that is all." He replied with a smirk. Mizuki new from past experience that you could get anybody to do anything with the right dialog. Everything had to be worded just right, But there was also Inuyasha's responce, Songo and Miroku had to work with his responce..."Why should we stop now?" Inuyasha questioned, raising an eyebrow "we still have day light left. We're gonna camp out in the woods." Oh no, proposition denied. Enter his alternative plan. Everyone in the group sighed around him, obvioulsy not happy with Inuyasha's decision."But Inu-yasha!" Kagome wined while stomping her foot. Ah, enter the love interest, he didn't have a choice now that Kagome had entered the plot. Inuyasha winced and flattened his ears to his head. He knew he wasn't going to win this fight. "We've camped out for the whole trip!! Can we just stay here for one night." she pleaded. " Please, Inuyasha." And there it goes, Kagome's puppy dog eyes. That old trick got Kagome whatever she wanted back when she and Mizuki were younger."Yeah, Inuyasha, we can only go so far with what day light we have left." Mizuki agreed. She walked over to Kagome and gave her a quick wink. "It would be pointless to keep going.""Keh" the inu hanyou replied in defeat. "What ever..." He was obiously angry."we'll be checking out the markets while miroku 'exercises' a place for us to stay." Sango threw over her shoulder while walking away with the other two girls."Keh""Lets begin our search, shall we?" the monk ased the hanyou. drapping an arm over his shoulder, pulling him along."You know i hate you, Miroku?""I'm so sure you do."

"Oh look at this kimono! Isn't it just the cutest!" Sango squeeled. It was quite odd to Mizuki, Sango fawing over a magenta kimono. To Mizuki, Sango seemed to be a bit of a tomboy... Guess she was wrong.' Yeah sure..." Mizukie replyed. She was bored out of her mind. Sure she love shopping, just not these kind of shops. Mizuki already missed the small thrift shops of Philly, There just didn't seem to be anything interesting for her here... Kagome noticed her cousin spacing out."Hey Mi, are you ok?" Kagome asked, voice full of concern. "Your acting really spacy...""Oh, I'm fine, just a bit bored.""Ok, if you say so.."The girls start to walk farther down the road. The black smiths shop, out of all of the shops, caught Mizuki's attention. The display held many swords, all of them ranging in size, shape and weight.Seeing one that she liked, Mizuki picked it up. It was a light weight sword, only a little longer than her fore arm."Ahh, that one is a beauty isn't it?" A young man brough Mi's attention to him. "Yes it is...."For the whole term of fifteen seconds that she thought about it, he seemed to be too young to be a master blacksmith, most likely an apprentice. But that didn't matter to her, she just wanted the blade."Are you interested in purchasing the sword?" he asked."I am, but I am afriad I don't have any money with me..." Mizuki replyed with a sigh. All she had was American money on her, and she new without a doubt that he wouldn't take it. Mizuki made a move to put the blade back to where it was displayed. The apprentice saw this and spoke up."That can be worked out, that is, if you have something of value," The man suggested, "we could make a trade.""Ummm... I dont't know... I don't think I do... wait! I just might...." Mizuki replied, thinking deeply. She remembered the necklace that Damion gave her, it was still in the velvet pouch tucked into her make-shift pocket. Kagome and Sango both gave her questioning looks. But she dismissed their looks as she found what she was looking for. She pulled it out of her pocket. "I almost forgot that I had this!" Mi said as she held out the object."What is it?" the young man asked, while looking at the pouch in Mizuki's hand.Mizuki pulled the strings to the little bag and pulled out its contents. "Its a necklace, made with real silver" she explained. "Surely this is worth just as much as the blade.""Yes, but what use can I get out of jewelery?" Asked the bemused young man."Well... you can give it to your sweetheart..."Mizuki gave a suggestive wink. "Or you can just sell it.... So do we have a deal...?""Ahhh... fine, deal."And with that they traded their objects, Both parties seemed happy about this. 'Guess he does have a sweetheart. She'll love it. Take that Damion, your plan won't work this time...'"Mi.. where did you get the necklace from?" Kagome asked, bringing her cousin out of her thoughts."Oh, that. I got it from an ex-boyfriend. He gave it to me before I came here... I'm glad to be rid of it" The young woman replied with a small smile."Why would your ex give you something so nice?" Kagome questioned. It did seem odd to her, due to the fact that a lot of Mizuki's relationships ended badly."Well... Long story short, I broke it off and I guess he was trying to make me think of him while here... I really don't know really, he has odd ways of doing things...""Oh ok.""We should find the guys and see if they found a place to sleep." Sango inserted, it seemed that she could tell that this was a touchy subject for her new friend. And Mizuki was greatful, some wounds take so much more time to heal than others...Kagome giggled. "Yeah, we should. I wonder which one of these places Miroku conned." Kagome turned to her cousin to ask, "Mi, why did you want the blade anyway?"Mizuki shrugged. "Don't know, I really liked it... And you never know if I might need it later on... It more or less was calling out to me"
