“I think that the demon’s miasma might have do this to ye,” Kaede said. “Your sight will probably return to ye soon.” I nodded and I heard her leave. I heard someone else kneel in front of me. A warm hand was placed on top of mine and I heard InuYasha growl.
“Don’t worry, baby,” Koga said. I could tell that he had a huge smile on his face. “I’ll be back to see you soon.” I heard footsteps run out the door.
It had been three days since the demon attack at I still had not regained my sight. I was walking down the road, carrying a large stick. I held the stick out in front of me, softly running it along the ground, so that I wouldn’t trip on anything. InuYasha was walking with me. I didn’t know exactly where he was, but I knew he was there. I sighed and, out of boredom, clicked my tongue. I gasped and froze in the middle of the road.
“What’s wrong?’ I heard InuYasha say as he appeared next to me. I didn’t answer, but clicked my tongue again. There is was again.
“What? What is it?” InuYasha said, his voice filled with worry even though he tried to hide it. A smile spread across my face.
“Go stand somewhere in the field,” I said. I heard him leave my side. I clicked again. Just like the two times before, a light flashed, revealing everything around me. I could see the world perfectly in my mind. I continued to click until I found InuYasha. I smiled up at him.
“What did you just do?” he asked.
“Echolocation I think,” I said.
“That’s great, you have a way to see,” he said.
“Will you help me?” I asked
“With what?”
“I want to learn to fight like this,” she said. InuYasha hesitated for a moment then sighed.
“Alright.”
For a few days, InuYasha and I practiced with my echolocation. I had gotten fairly good at it.
InuYasha landed hard on the ground. I was on top of him, my sword to his neck. “I win,” I whispered with a smile. He pushed me off, then helped me up.
“We need to talk,” he said.
“Alright...” I said. He led her to the town and into a hut where everyone was sitting around a fire.
“Hey everyone,” I said. They looked up but didn’t say anything. I immediately knew something was up. InuYasha helped me sit down.
“What’s going on?” I demanded.
I heard Kagome sigh, then sit next to me. “Kyoko, we’ve been talking. We think that it’s time we continued our search for the jewel shards.”
I smiled. “Great, I’ve been dying to get out of this village and now that I can fight...” I trailed off. “Wait...”
“W-We think it’s best if you stayed here,” Kagome said. I started shaking my head. “Kyoko...” Kagome started.
“No, no, no, I am not letting you go without me,” I said. “What if you get hurt?”
“I won’t. I have InuYasha, Shippo, Sango, Kirara, and Miroku to protect me.”
I stood up. “Is this what all of you think?” They all nodded sheepishly. My mouth became a thin, hard line. InuYasha put his hand on my shoulder.
“Kyoko,” he started.
“No,” I hissed, turning to glare at him. “I can’t believe you would do this to me.”
“What?” he said. “I’m just trying to protect you.”
“Well, you’re doing a lousy job,” I yelled. “If you hadn’t noticed, I’m BLIND!”
“That wasn’t my fault!” he screamed back. “You were the one who ran off!”
We yelled at each other for a good ten minutes until, I had enough.
“Well, fine then,” I turned to everyone. “I hope you’re happy.” I grabbed my sword and my bag and marched towards the well.
“Wait! Kyoko wait!” Kagome called. I could hear many footsteps running after me. I turned and clicked my tongue. Everyone except InuYasha was coming. My heart felt like it was being crushed. I wanted to stay, but I knew that I wouldn’t be able to unless InuYasha tried to stop me. I turned before they could see my tears and jumped down the well.
“Don’t worry, baby,” Koga said. I could tell that he had a huge smile on his face. “I’ll be back to see you soon.” I heard footsteps run out the door.
