The village
Kirara swirled around and dug his paws into the dirt again. Kiohai was flying towards him with a twig in her hand. Her tree had snapped! Kirara leapt up into the air and caught her just in time. Kiohai clutched Kirara's fur, with her eyes squeezed tight. When she opened them, she smiled. "Kirara, thank you!" She said and hugged the cat demon. Kirara seemed to smile back and ran towards miroku again. He clawed miroku's arm and miroku's eyes went back to normal. He held his hand(his LEFT hand in case you were wondering!) To his head. "What the..." he said quietly. Kiohai hopped off of Kirara and slapped miroku's face. "Ouch!" He said. "What'd you do that for?" "For trying to kill us with... what was it again?" Kiohai asked kagome. "Wind tunnel." Said kagome. "Wind tunnel!" Said kiohai, and slapped him again. "What was THAT one for?" Asked miroku. "That one was just for fun!" Exclaimed kiohai a little too loudly. Kirara seemed to bow at kiohai, and she bowed back with a smile. Once everyone had gotten situated and convinced inuyasha and shippo to stop holding on to the trees for dear life, kiohai jumped back onto Kirara and let kagome and inuyasha lead the way to an old-timey village. Kiohai wondered if everyone talked in the old language as well! She hoped so! It would've been justlike some of the random fairy tales that she had found in the school library! When kiohai jumped off of Kirara in the middle of the village, many villagers charged out of their homes and pointed spears and arrows at her. She put her hands up. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa." She said. She looked at shippo and inuyasha. "Are your people usually this violent?" Inuyasha shrugged. Shippo gulped and hid behind miroku's leg. Kiohai rolled her eyes. She looked back at the villagers. They had lowered their weapons. "Please! This woman is hurt! We need to get her to priestess kaede!" Said kagome. The crowd parted, and everyone walked down the middle of them. Kiohai remembered the demon that had clawed her in the back. The memories of it made the pain strike back like the stomach flu. She nearly fell off of Kirara holding her back. She sucked it up and clutched Kirara's fur anyway. The group came to a small hut. A decrepit old woman hobbled out of it. "Kagome, inuyasha, ye have returned." She said in a raspy voice. Kiohai tilted her head. They did talk like characters in fairy tales! "Are you kaede?" She asked. "Yes. And who might ye be?" "I'm kiohai, ma'am." Said kiohai. She grunted and clutched the back of her uniform. She pulled her hand back and blood covered it. That was one bad injury. "Come. I shall treat ye." Said kaede, and walked back into the hut. "Stay here, Kirara." Said kiohai, jumping off Kirara and patting him. She followed kaede. Before she went inside, she cast a glance at kagome, trying to say, "can I trust her?" Kagome smiled. This normally meant, "go on. You'll be fine."
