7 fan-fic: New Moon
Chisaki ran with Inuyasha and Miroku while Kagome, Sango and Shippo rode on the cat that Chisaki learned was called Kirara (pronounced Kilala). When they reached the village Kaede stood outside waiting for them. “Where have ye been? And who is this stranger?” she said starring down Chisaki with her one eye. Kirara landed behind Inuyasha and Chisaki. “Her name is Chisaki. She’s a friend of Toutousai. She came to the rescue of a village we already saved.” Kagome explained jumping off Kirara. “Toutousai seemed to be looking for her, not Inuyasha. We happened to be there when he arrived and he told Chisaki to watch over Inuyasha tonight.” Miroku chimed in. Kaede thought about this for a moment, “Come inside and have something to eat.”
Everyone was sitting around the fire eating. Chisaki ate very fast, but no one seemed to notice. When she finished she looked at the bottom of her bowl embarrassed and still hungry. She looked around; everyone seemed to be enjoying their noodles still. Kaede was starring at her. Chisaki felt so out of place there. They all knew each other and were all comfortable with each other. Chisaki couldn’t help to feel responsible for the silence over the meal. “Chisaki,” Kaede started talking, “How do you know Toutousai?” Chisaki placed her bowl to the side and sat up a bit, “I was his apprentice for a while.” Chisaki pulled out Mekoru “I discontinued his lessons after I created this sword.” Kaede nodded, “Where did you go after that?” Chisaki sheathed Mekoru, “I went back to the training grounds at the top of the eastern mountains.” Kaede looked surprised, “Your parents sent ye up top the mountain?” Chisaki shook her head, “I’m afraid not. Master Akahito found me living with a couple, living in the village that Inuyasha and the others saved the other day.” Kagome’s light bulb lit up, “Oh! That’s why all the villagers didn’t fear you.” Chisaki nodded, “I never went outside before Master Akahito came to me. He told my foster parents that it would be better for me to be trained to fight and let my energy loose outside than trying to keep me hidden inside.” Kagome looked disappointed, “Why would all the villagers know you if your foster parents kept you hidden?” Chisaki slouched a bit, “Because Master Akahito would come down the mountain and trade with them since they were the closest village to the training grounds, and I would come with. My foster parents would always greet me and the village subsequently came to know me as well.” Kaede got back into the conversation, “Why were ye adopted?” “Hmm? Oh, I wasn’t exactly. I was found wandering around begging for food and they took me in when some men threatened to kill me because I’m a demon. I don’t remember that at all though, that is what they told me.” Chisaki sat silent for a while as every one continued to eat and as Shippo went for another helping so did Chisaki.
For the first time in two days Chisaki was full. She helped clean up and every one got ready for bed. Chisaki placed herself next to Kagome and Shippo and straight across from Inuyasha. She and Inuyasha starred at each other until Chisaki fell asleep several hours later.
