The Summoner Part 2
(Continued directly from part one.Read it before you read this one or it wont make sense)
After the talk that evening, it started to get dark, as the pair or heroes continued down the extraordinarily long forest path. Kagome was starting to wonder if they’d ever make it to the witches place. She started to wonder about some of the details of Inuyashas plan. Finally she asked, “Hey Inuyasha, by the way what is the witches name? I also want to know what we’re going to do there.” Inuyasha quietly answered, “The witches name is Unakatashi. She lives at the end of this path. We’ll be coming upon it at any second now. Kagome was relieved that they were almost done walking. “Finally we’re nearly there, I could use some rest.” Said Kagome happily. “Yeah, whatever.” Inuyasha said quietly. A feeling of worry started to grow in Kagome’s mind. “Inuyasha, what’s wrong? Asked Kagome softly. “Nothing” Inuyasha claimed. Hmmm... this Unakatashi lady sounds kind of spooky... I wonder if she’ll be kind and if she’ll even listen to us! Thought Kagome. She shivered slightly. As they crested the next hill a house was in sight. It was very crudely made; roof in shambles and the walls cracking. “Is that it!” Kagome exclaimed excitedly. “Yep. Looks like she’s let herself go. Last time I saw her this house was gleaming. I’ve been here before entirely on accident. Lets she if she’s home.” Inuyasha said. They walked to the door and knocked. An old lady looking to be 80 or 90 years old appeared, using a stick to support her failing body. “Ah it is you again Inuyasha. What have you come for this day?” Said Unakatashi. “I came for some help. This is Kagome. I found her by the well. She came from the future apparently. I need you to perform a ritual for me, old lady. Can you help us?” Inuyasha had pleaded. “Of course I can help you. What kind of ritual do you need? A girl from the future may cause major problems you know” The old lady replied. Inuyasha stated “I need you to summon the hero from the past back to life. I want you to revive the rider, Kakashi!” Kagome gasped. She had never thought this could be possible! Yet the old woman said cautiously ”Inuyasha, this could be dangerous or helpful. Are you sure you want to do this? On the other hand it could be very helpful.” “Of course I want to do this!” Cried Inuyasha. “Very well. Here is a list of all the supplies I will need. Hurry off and go get them.” Said the old lady as she handed Inuyasha a rolled piece of parchment. After about an hour, Inuyasha returned with the supplies in a tightly wrapped sack, he made it out in the woods. Unakatashi had laid a cauldron out and water was boiling. “Drop it all in the pot. Then we must wait for 10 minutes.” The witch muttered to Inuyasha. After the task had been done the woman took the mixture out of the cauldron and put it into the bowl. The old woman took a sip. “WHAT! You sent me out for soup ingredients!” Inuyasha Yelled as he lunged for Unakatashi. The old woman stopped him by saying, “I need much strength for the spell. Now I will send you out for the 2 real ingredients that will revive the one you asked for.” She handed Inuyasha a small scroll and he calmed down slightly. That night they rested at Unakatashi’s house. Early the next morning the pair set out on the journey for the other ingredients as the walked back along the path, the old woman waving from the door of her hut.
