We climbed out on the other side of the well and saw the group waiting for us.

“Hurry it up,” InuYasha said impatiently.

“We’re coming calm down,” I said. When we got over to them, InuYasha stared at Kagome.

“Do you feel anything?” He asked. Of course she feels something, I thought. She’s alive isn’t she. Kagome closed her eyes. She stood there for about a minute, then opened them and shook her head.

“Damn it,” he said.

“Wait,” I said confused. “What did you not feel?” She explained that she could sense the sacred jewel shards with some magical power from the priestess.

“So do I have that power too?” I asked to no one in particular. Suddenly, I got this feeling that we should head east. I looked at Kagome. I had gotten these feelings before and they always lead me to somewhere important.

“Kagome. I have that feeling again.”

“Okay. Which way?” She asked.

“East.” I pointed towards the woods.

“Okay. Come on everyone,” Kagome said. We started to walk the way I had pointed, knowing that everyone would follow.

“Whoa wait up.” InuYasha said, running up to us. “What feeling are you talking about?” He asked, looking at me.

“Every since I was six,” I explained. “I have gotten these feelings in my stomach. They always tell me to go somewhere and whenever I follow them, they lead me somewhere important.”

“Okay whatever.” He turned his head away from me and stared at the sky. We walked for about an hour, when Kagome suddenly said,

“A sacred jewel. It’s in that direction.” She pointed to me. Just then, a huge demon snake burst out of the trees behind me.

“The shards.” It hissed, blocking our path with its huge body. “I need the shards.” InuYasha pulled out his sword.

“I don’t think so.” He ran at the demon, quickly slicing its tail off with his sword. The demon screamed at lunged at InuYasha. He dodged the attack and cut the demon’s head off in one swing.

“Where’s the shard Kagome?” He looked at her. She walked over to the body and started to look it over.

“I don’t see anything.”

“What!!” InuYasha yelled. He ran over next to her. There was a sudden pain in my right arm. I grunted and grabbed the spot where it hurt.

“Everything okay Kyoko?” Sango asked.

“Yeah,” I said, massaging the spot. “I’ve had a random pain in my arm for the past two weeks.” Then, another demon burst out of the woods behind me and grabbed me around the waist, hoisting me into the air. Not again, I thought.

“The shards. Give them to me,” It snarled.

“You know,” I remarked. “This is getting really old.” I pulled out my sword and stabbed it in the hand. I screamed and dropped me. I landed on my feet and tried to back away. The demon swiped at me with its good hand, scraping my arm. I fell to the ground, grabbing my arm. InuYasha finished the demon quickly and ran over to me.

“Are you okay?” He knelt next to me.

“Yeah,” I said. “Man I hate being accident prone. It doesn’t help that I’m clumsy either.”

“Let me look at it.” He said, pulling my hand away from the scratch. Everyone behind me gasped. My arm was glowing where the demon had cut me. I saw three small stones in my arm. I pulled them out and held them in my palm. The blood on them disappeared.

“What are these?” I asked InuYasha.

“Those,” he said. “Those are sacred jewel shards.”
