~*~Cursed To Be Alone~*~

Chapter Two

~*~Trusting the New Girl~*~

"This is all you should need, for your trip." The elder priestess, Kaede said to the five people standing in front of her. She turned around on her heel, and then placed her arms behind her, walking off into her hut. A few minutes later, the elder woman came out with a basket. In the basket lay herbs, wrapping cloths, towels, a bit of clothes for the girls, food and some futons. She walked over to Sayuri and placed it in her hands. Kaede then took a few steps back and looked at them."I wish ye all good luck. I shall see ye when ye come back to see me." She said, and then was back into the hut in a second.

Sayuri blinked, she looked down at the small basket in her hands. "Well, it does look like enough for all five of us." She said. Then looked over at the small kitsune cub that had just jumped onto her shoulder. "What do you think Shippou?" She asked him smiling, propping up the basket so that the small kitsune could see it. She then saw the hanyou snort and turn his back to her and the small child. She shook her head slightly and rolled her eyes.

The small kitsune cub, Shippou, looked down at the basket. He then tilted his head to the side slightly and looked at Sayuri. He smiled. "I think it is good enough, and that you will be a good member of the team." He said. His green eyes glimmering with happiness. He then jumped down from her shoulder, and looked at the hanyou. "Inuyasha quit being so stubborn." He said, only to receive a cold glare from the hanyou, he 'eeped' and jumped back on Sayuri's shoulder.

The monk, Miroku, looked at Inuyasha, his blue eyes narrowing slightly upon the hanyou. He sighed, his eyes then adverted over to Sango, and he looked at the demon exterminator and smiled sweetly at her. His black hair then blew slightly in the light breeze that picked up. "Come on; let's get going. Sango and I will tell you if we sense a demon or not." He said, and then began to walk off. His right hand held the staff, and his left lay beside him as he walked.

The demon exterminator nodded. "Come on Sayuri, Shippou and Inuyasha." Sango said, her brown eyes then shifted foreword. Her magenta eye shadow then was visible as she closed her eyes. She then opened her eyes to reveal her brown chestnut eye color. Her hazel hair, that looked slightly black, blew gently in the wind as well. She shifted the weight of her giant boomerang, or as every one knew it as, The Hiraikotsu, or The Flying Bone. She then kept her left hand on the Hiraikotsu's strap, and began to walk after the monk that had previously started to walk off.

Sayuri nodded, she then smiled at Shippou. She then looked toward the two who already were walking ahead. "Guys wait up!" She said, and then ran after them. Coming behind them, she slowed down to a walking pace and kept up behind them. She then looked back, seeing Inuyasha still there. She nodded her head, telling him to hurry up. With the small kitsune on her shoulder she then adverted her eyes ahead. The basket still layed in her hands, as she then placed the hoop over her arm, letting it dangle.

@~@Inuyasha's P.O.V@~@

I looked towards her as my silver hair was blown aside, as if the wind was combing it. 'Can we trust her?' I thought to myself. I shifted my eyes up towards the sky. 'Will she betray us like Kikyo did many years ago?' I realized I was asking myself questions that I probably would never be able to answer. I let my hand stray towards the hilt of my Tetsusaiga, rest there a moment, than slip away. I let a soft snort, than followed behind them. 'I will just have to keep up my guard around her.' I thought, mentally nodding in agreement to this. I crossed my arms across my chest, stuffing my hands into the sleeves of my haori. I kept my senses heightened as I looked ahead, ready to be able to since a nearby demon if it was needed.

@~@Normal P.O.V@~@

Sango looked over at the monk. She saw his serious face on, and a slight blush perched on her cheeks. 'Why do I always blush at his serious face?' She asked herself, then shook her head slightly. The blush was gone she sighed softly. She then looked ahead again. Feeling normal again, she then felt a presence, a demon presence. "Miroku," She whispered to the monk.

Miroku nodded, he had sensed the demon as well. He stopped walking and looked towards the bushes, where he could since the demon's presence. He placed his staff in front of himself, and narrowed his eyes. "Demon, come out." He said, his staff's rings pointed to the bushes, telling the gang that the demon lay there.

The soft breathing of the demon could be heard with Inuyasha's demon ears. His claws flexed, and he looked toward the new girl. "Let's see if you can fight." He said, smirking. He then got in his fighting position. He knew this was a low class of demon, so he didn't draw his Tetsusaiga like he normally would.

A hiss could be heard; the flashing of pink and purple could be seen. The demon approached, a large snake demon, around twelve feet stood in front of them. Ivy eyes glaring at the five beneath him. "You are on my territory. Die now Wretchsssssssssss." He hissed. He then looked at the girls of the group. "Fine Sssssssssssspecimenssssssssssssss for my dinner." He said, then slithered down and went after Sango first.

Sayuri looked at the snake demon, her eyes then laced with anger as the demon had said she, and Sango, where going to be his dinner. She then shrugged the shoulder Shippou was on, he got the hint, and went down on the ground, readying his fox inferno. She then looked down at the sword she had, unsheathing it she lunged at the demon. "Eat this!" She growled, and then jumped up on the back of the snake's head.

The snake looked back at the woman on his head, "Get off!" He demanded, shaking his head to get the annoyance off. He then closed his eyes, shaking his head madly, trying to get her off of his head.

Sango then got the idea and nodded slightly. She got the Hiraikotsu off of her back; she then raised it over her head and ran toward the snake. "Hiraikotsu!" She screamed, and let the boomerang go toward the snake.

For preference, Miroku then used his 'binding' spell on the snake demon so he couldn't move and try to get away from the attack of Sango's Hiraikotsu. He closed his eyes, the staff glowing as he muttered the chant of the spell and kept it going.

Sayuri then looked at the boomerang was coming, quickly thinking she stuck her sword in his throat, and then jumped down off of the snake. She landed on Shippou, who had turned into a big pillow for her to land on. She then got off of Shippou and watched the demon get hit with the Hiraikotsu.

The demon let out a painful hiss, and battle cry. "You will ssssssssee my brotherssssssssss. You will die!" It said, before the Hiraikotsu had cut through its head, then flung back to its owner. The snake's eyes slid closed as its massive head came crashing to the ground. It's body lay motionless, deciphering that the snake was indeed dead.

Sango then held her hand up, grabbing the Hiraikotsu back into her hand. She then with a flick of her wrist had the boomerang back where it belonged, on her back. She then looked over at Sayuri. "Sayuri are you ok?" She asked.

Shippou had run over to Sayuri, he saw a small cut on her shoulder but nothing else. "She's okay!" He said to Sango, then he jumped up on Sayuri's good shoulder. He then looked at her wound and then back up at Sayuri.

Sayuri smirked; she sheathed her sword and looked at Shippou and Sango. "Don't worry guys. I'm fine." She said, and then looked at Sango. "Sango, do you want to rest in the next clearing over for tonight?" She asked, only to receive a nod as an answer.

Inuyasha looked at her; his golden orbs looked at the dead snake that lay behind her. His nose scrunched up, smelling Sayuri's blood, as well as the dead snakes. He then shook his head slightly, but saw a Shikon Shard. He looked around. 'So she is trust worthy, but it will take a while for me to even hang around her like I do Miroku and Sango.' He thought. He then walked over to the snake demon. He saw the shard and picked it up, he walked over and handed it to Sayuri. "You hold these." He said. Then he snorted and jumped up into the closest tree.

Sayuri rolled her eyes slightly, and then blinked as Inuyasha put the Shikon shard in her hands. "All right." She said softly. She then looked over at him and smirked. "So I see we have your permission to stay the night here?" She asked Inuyasha. Which she only heard a snort in reply? She smirked, and shook her head slightly. She then walked into the clearing in front of the tree Inuyasha lay on. She put out two futons and looked at Miroku. "Are you going to sleep on a futon?" She asked. He shook his head. Sayuri nodded. She then watched as Shippou sat in her lap. She wrapped her arms around the small kitsune cub and smiled softly.

Miroku looked over at Sayuri as she asked him a question. He shook his head. "No." He said, and then turned on his heel and walked off into the woods. He looked around the woods, and collected firewood. He then came back, and placed the logs in the middle of the clearing and started a fire. He stood up, and walked over to a tree. He sat down at the base of the tree and crossed his arms; he then closed his eyes.

Sango yawned, closing her eyes. Her hand raised up to her mouth, covering the yawn. She then looked down as a small amount of weight was added to her lap. She smiled and stroked what lay in her lap. Kilala, Sango then picked up Kilala, and layed down in the futon, under the covers. She placed Kilala above her head, on the pillow. She then closed her eyes and started to fall asleep.

The cat demon, Kilala, purred slightly. Tan fur covered the cat demon body. Two black rings on each side of her two tails swayed gently as she flicked her tails back and forth. Her two tails then circled around her. Her pinkish, reddish eyes closed slightly as the neko youkai began to fall asleep along with her owner Sango.

Sayuri then yawned; she got up, opened the futon covers and crawled underneath them. She then closed her eyes, as Shippou got in the futon with her and layed down beside her. She placed her arm over the small child and fell asleep. The fire illuminating every ones features whom lay beside the fire asleep.

Inuyasha looked down at everyone; he then fell into a light sleep. Keeping his senses up though, he looked to be in a deep sleep when he wasn't. He yawned slightly; keeping his Tetsusaiga wrapped firmly in his arms.

~*~Next Morning~*~

Orange and yellow colors of the sun brimmed over the horizon line. The dew of the morning stills fresh on the small blades of grass. The yellow and orange colors mixed with the blue and pink colors of the morning sky. The birds could be heard chirping, as the water could be heard running. The group of five still slept in the small opening, which had came to be their place to stay that night.

A yawn came from the new member of the group. She sat up and stretched, she opened her eyes and looked around. She saw that the fire had died out during the night, not that she could have blamed it. She then picked up Shippou, and put him beside the tree. She folded up her futon and placed it back in the basket. She got one of the clothing outfits that Kaede had made for her. She then walked over to where she saw a hot spring to take a bath. She then took off her clothes once out of everyone's view, and she sighed, dipping herself into the water. Her new clothes for the day lay beside the hot spring.

Golden eyes opened and a small yawn was heard from his parted lips. He then rubbed his eyes slightly, and looked down to the gang. 'There's Sango, Miroku, Kilala, Shippou...Where's Sayuri?' He thought, then jumping down from the tree silently, he walked off to where he smelt her scent. He then came into the view of where she was, and he looked at her. 'That's where she was.' He thought, then turned and snapped a twig as he was going to leave.

Sayuri popped back up from under the water, only the bottom of her neck and above could be seen. "Who's there?" She asked, she picked up a large rock, and threw it at the person who was peaking on her. She then heard a thump and a muffled curse, she got up, out of the hot spring and then she got on her clothes and began to walk toward the person who had been spying on her. She wore a light pink kimono top, with white kimono pants. The sword of her's still at her side; she then looked at the person under the rock and narrowed her eyes. "Of all the people Inuyasha," She said, and then smacked him in the face. "That's for peaking on me." She said, and began to walk away from Inuyasha.

Inuyasha looked up at her. "Hey! Get back here you stupid wench!" He growled, then crawled out from the rock and pushed it into a river. He stood up, cracked his back, which was a pretty loud crack. "Oww," He muttered and then started back toward the clearing. He saw that the others were now well awake and packing their things. He narrowed his eyes at Sayuri and looked at her. "I wasn't peeking on you." He said.

Sayuri looked up at him she smirked. "A pathetic excuse for trying to get out of peeking on me Inuyasha I saw you, and I know what I saw." She said, and then stood up, Shippou in her arms. She placed the basket over her arm, adjusting Shippou slightly so that she could do so; she then looked toward the others. "Sango, Kilala, Miroku, Come on, lets go to the next village." She said, and started to walk off.

Inuyasha narrowed his eyes at her. 'Ok, now I REALLY don't like her.' He thought, his eyes brow twitched slightly. He followed her, but walked in front of her. His arms crossed over his chest as the Tetsusaiga clanged against his legs.

Sango nodded, she then began to walk off, wearing her normal kimono but looked at Kilala. "Come on Girl." She said, kneeling down so the cat demon could get on her arm. She held out her arm for Kilala.

Kilala mewed, and then walked over to Sango. She walked up her owner's arm and then rested on Sango's left shoulder. She closed her eyes slightly, and watched as the Monk looked at her owner as they walked away.

Miroku couldn't help but stare at Sango, she was so kind and loving if you got to know her...but in battle she would be brave and daring. He then followed behind her, like a love struck puppy.

As they approached the village, a voice then called out. "Lady Sayuri!" An elder male village man approached her. He knew her for his son often talked about the supposed watergodess. "My son has fallen ill, do you think your companions and the hanyou could stay with him and help him until he gets better?" He asked.

Inuyasha was just about to say something, but Sayuri started to talk before him. She nodded. "Sure. We would be happy to help your son get well sir." She said. "Right guys?" She asked looking back at them. Sango nodded, as did Kilala and Miroku. Shippou smiled, and nodded. She looked over at Inuyasha, who huffed and snorted. "I take that as a yes." She said, and then looked at the elder village man. "Show me where you live." She said, and the man walked her toward the house. The gang followed behind Sayuri. Expect for Shippou, cause he got the luxury of not having to walk, but sitting on Sayuri's shoulder.

"Here is where I live." The man said he opened the hut door to show a young boy laying in a futon. A cloth on his head, and his breathing quickened. He had a fever and a small rash on his arms. His face was beaded with sweat as the fever increased slightly.

Sayuri looked at the boy. She walked over to him she looked at Shippou. "Shippou, dear please turn into a bowl of cold water for me." She said. Her eyes looking down upon the small kitsune cub.

He nodded, and transformed into a bowl of cold water for Sayuri, a small cloth hung over his side. He then looked up at her. "Here you go Sayuri." He said, his eyes were black now, when he transformed his eyes would always be black. He then closed his eyes as he felt the cloth being taken off of his side and dipped into his water.

Inuyasha and the others stood; they were leaning on the side of the wall. Inuyasha watched her; he then sat down Indian style and looked at the boy. He snorted. 'The child's just going to die anyway, why try to save him now?' He thought in a question. He placed his hand on his chin and watched the interesting thing, a small bowl, Shippou trying to keep from laughing.

Sayuri then squeezed the access water out of the rag. She folded it and placed it on the boy's forehead. She then got out a few herbs and looked at the rashes, she found one of the herbs matched the skin color of the rash. She crumbled it up, and began to work on the medicine for the young boy.
