[ A - All Readers ]
Me: Yay! One review from my dear cousin! You're the best Catt! YAY!

Kagome: Congratulations!
Me: Thank you!

Kagome: Hey, where's Inu Yasha?
Me: I don't know. Where is he?

Kagome: Who knows....?
Me: Err... -looks far behind- THERE HE IS! RUN! -runs-

Kagome: -runs-

Inu Yasha: -growls and stops chasing- Glowsticks_rock does not own Inu Yasha. Thanks. -continues chasing-

---Begin---

"SANGO! MIROKU! SHIPPO!" Kagome yelled to the three and waved. They waved back but Kirara started growling at Himeko.

"KIRARA!" Sango called after the small two tailed fox that grew bigger. Himeko backed away, nervously, and look around through the trees.

"Sorry..." Himeko whispered. She slowly turned around and faced some trees. She ran to it and stopped and stared.

"You picked up a crazy one this time, Kagome" Inu Yasha told her. She looked at Himeko and grew a sweat drop.

Himeko pulled out her sword and made a sorry look. She then sliced the tree. Suddenly, a piercing scream was heard.

Inu Yasha and the gang ran over to Himeko to find Kagura about to flee.

“GRR… NOT THIS TIME!” Inu Yasha yelled as he attempted to attack Kagura. Himeko backed away and put her sword away.

“Give it up Inu Yasha. She’ll get away this time…” Sango sighed.

“Its ok… We’ll get Naraku next time…” Miroku tried to cheer them up. Kagome had no word in this.

“Well… Himeko… where is your village?” Kagome asked. Himeko’s body grew stiff. Where was she going to take them? What village?

Himeko stated, “Up to the north. Karikou Village…”

She nodded. “Miroku and Sango, we’re going to go to Himeko’s village. She was sent to retrieve me” Kagome told them. Shippo stared and Kirara kept her distance with Himeko.

“Uh….” Himeko said.

30 Minutes Later –


“My… village…is…gone” Himeko acted. Inu Yasha’s eyes glanced all-over.

“One of Naraku’s minions was here… I can smell his scent…” Inu Yasha said.

It’s a good thing… I destroyed this village with Kohaku… That worthless boy knows how to have fun… haha’ Himeko thought and smirked. Though, she hid it.

“… Let’s burry their bodies…” Miroku suggested. The whole group nodded. Himeko grew stiff again.

I’m going to bury the dead I killed? WHAT THE HELL?!’ Himeko thought as she followed Kagome and Sango to gather flowers.

Himeko wandered off and saw a patch of dead roses. “Perfect…” she told herself. She grabbed a bunch of them and separated them.

“Himeko, I don’t think you should place those on the graves…” Miroku told her.

“I’ll do what I please. Roses are one of the most elegant flowers and beautiful ones. So why are they so bad?” she asked innocently.

“Because the black is a grieving color” Inu Yasha answered. Himeko looked at him.

“I don’t care. I do what I please” Himeko repeated once more. She laid the black roses on the graves and stared hard at them. Slowly, the flowers began to redden and she backed away, pleased.

“H… how did you do that?” Miroku asked in amazement. Himeko shrugged.

“You must be a priestess too!!” Shippo cheered as Kagome and Sango returned with bouquets of flowers.

Inu Yasha became interested.

“Yes, I am a priestess but I am not to tell anyone. Now that I have shared my identity to you… you must keep it to secrecy” Himeko admitted. ‘I guess I could tell them that. It’s not so important’ she thought.

They all finished laying the flowers down. They all gathered their belongings and started walking off, following Inu Yasha.

“So, Himeko, isn’t it?” Sango asked her. Himeko nodded. “What is your family’s name?” she asked.

“Tuuramaka” Himeko answered.

“That name seems familiar… who else was a priestess in your family?”

“My grandmother. Priestess Lareia” Himeko replied.

“Wasn’t she… oh nevermind…” Sango said as they arrived to a village.

“Lady Kaede! They’re here!” a villager called. Soon an old woman peeked her head out of her hut.

Wow… this hag is ollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllld’ Himeko thought as she look at the woman.

“Who are you?” Kaede asked Himeko strictly.

Himeko bowed to her.

“I am Himeko Tuuramaka” she said as she stood to her feet again.

“Tuuramaka… so I see your family has been doing fine” Kaede told her.

“Actually, they all passed away” Himeko answered honestly.

Kaede nodded and invited the group into her hut.

“Kaede, how do you know of Himeko’s line” Miroku asked.

Kaede opened her mouth and began to speak of a story…

---Finish---
