Chapter 3: The First Attack.
Shina stood up and started to walk towards the entrance to the cave with Kagome's fragments of the Shikon No Tama in her hands.
Miroku started to walk towards Shina and said, "Wait, Shina Sachiko Raku-Sama! If you leave alone, all Demons and Humans will think that you are easy prey. Please allow me to accompany you on your journey, to protect you!"
"If you wish to come, Monk, than you must swear on all that is holy to you, not to touch this body…Can you swear it, Monk?" Shina asked with a smirk.
Miroku stood straighter and replied, "I swear on Buddha's word that I will not touch you in any way except to help you if you are in need of help."
Shina smiled and said, "Any one that wishes to accompany me on this journey is welcome to. For if I am to gather the shards than I must know what has happened since I slept."
Kirara shot into the cave with blood dripping from her side.
"Kirara! You are alive, my old friend!…Who would dare harm the companion of Morridiko!" started Shina.
"Morridiko?" Said Sango in a very confused voice, just as spider-demons entered the cave.
"Inuyasha!" shouted Kagome.
Shina raised her hands and said, "Celestial Light!"
Light seemed to gather around Shina's hands only to shot out in ragged bolts towards the demons. When the bolts touched the demons they vanished in the exploding light.
When the light faded, there was nothing in the cave except the wiry group.
Suddenly Shina fell limply to the ground, as though injured.
Everyone gathered around Shina. Kagome brushed hair away from Shina's face, to find out what had happened, only to stare into the thrice-ringed eyes of the girl.
Kagome leaned forward, and asked, "Shina-sama, why are your eyes thrice-ringed by colour? How is it possible?"
Shina sat up slowly, looked at Kagome, and replied, "My eyes are this way, because they are one of the distinguishable features of my race."
"What race are you, Shina, for I have never seen such eyes before." Asked Kagome politely.
Shina sighed then replied; "I am Atlantian… So it is true that I am the last of my race, a mixture of Demon, Human, and Celestial Light…"
"Celestial Light?" interrupted Miroku.
Shina looked at Miroku in disgust. "If you will let me continue, I will enlighten you to my exact nature.
"As you will, Shina Sachiko Raku-Sama." Answered Miroku dutifully.
"Please call me Shina, I do not mind." Shina told him. "A long time ago there were four races that live side by side. Humans, Demons, Celestial Beings and Atlantians."
"What are Atlantians really?" Kagome asked
