"True." Aria mused blinking as Adam woke.

"There's a village not far from here." Adam yawned.

Haru sat up grumbeling."morning alredy?"

Yuna blinked a bit."alright...well have to head there"

"Sounds good to me." Adam began to pack as Aria scattered the ashes from the fire. "Of we go on a adventure." He placed a tribute to the God's by the tree he had used as a pillow. "Let's hope we are blessed."

Yuna blinked at him confused."what was that about?"

Haru smiled at Adam."nice"

"Well...I was taught to respect our Gods...the token as for their protection." Adam blushed. "Let's just go." He hurried off.

Haru followed watching the sky.

Yuna blinked a bit still confused but shrugged following

Aria stuck close to Yuna still a little unsure about the samurai's. "Hopefully we'll get the shards before winter hits the mountains. If not we'll be stuck on this side till it melts."

Yuna looked curious."true,but what if there's shards on the other side too?"

Haru frowned."well arn't you miss positivuty?"

"We'll have to get them last. We can't make two trips over the mountains." Aria sighed. "Let's just do this."

Adam nodded. "The faster we get the shards the faster we can destroy the gem.

Haru frowned a bit,"if that is miss Aria's wish",he said calmly."it is her gem after all"

Yuna nodded."well then lets get the supplies and get going"

"We have to destroy it. Bad guys will keep trying to get there hands on it and as much as I want my parent's back I can't risk it falling into the wrong hands." Aria sighed then eyed the village. "We should wait here." she glanced at Yuna. "They might not be to happy to see demons."

Yuna stoped as well."yeah i rather not be chaced from a village again"

Haru gave a sad look to Aria but smiled."just leave it to us,we'll get eveything we need"

"Good luck." Aria called after them. "Let's collect herbs we'll need them for the journey." She lead the way to a bunch of weeds.

"I really wish people could see there are good demons around us not just bad ones." Adam sighed.

Haru waved to them and smiled a bit as they walked."yes, i mean Aria and Yuna seem a bit rough around the edges ... but .... deep down there really kind"

Yuna blinked a bit following her."alright",she blinked at the weeds."hey, think you could teach me about the different types of herbs?"

Aria looked up at her and smiled softly. "Sure." She started by pulling a weed and showed her it. "The stem and roots are good for cough's." She explained. "So when you pull them you have to be careful to keep it in one piece."

Yuna blinked a bit."oh",she said taking intrest

Aria showed her a couple more herbs. "That's all there is here. When I gather more I'll show you them."

Adam collected what they needed and sighed. "I think that should be about it."

Yuna grinned."sounds good to me!"

Haru smiled."great,lets get back to the girls!"

"before they get in trouble." Adam chuckled and found the girls fitting the herbs into a bag Aria had made. "You two having fun?" he smiled.

"Demons always have fun." Aria smirked.

Haru laughed."i'll have keep that in mind"

Yuna looked ot them."oh,back already?"

"Yep. We got all we had to get." Adam handed them both sacks. "here." he smiled.

"Thanks." Aria took her and slipped it on her shoulder holding the herb bag close.

Haru smiled."then I guess were really set to get going"

Yuna blinked at the snck."thank you",she said softly

"Of we go." Adam lead the way knowing it would take them a long time to find the shards but he was already enjoying the company.

Haru walked beside Aria."so ,are you able to se the shards?",he asked."i know with lady Kagome,the stories i herd anyway was that she was one of the few who could see the shards of the shikono jewl"

Yuna zoned out a bit walking along ,lost in her own thoughts

"I'm not sure." Aria admitted. "Well have to find out." She chuckled. "I saw the one in the wolf so hopefully."
