Hanyou's Daughter
On one fine morning, Kagome decided to wake up extra early and take a stroll, but Inu Yasha was up before her. He was outside, sitting in a tree.
"Do you want to walk with me Inu Yasha?" Kagome asked. Inu Yasha shook his head and answered,
"Feh. I wouldn't want to, but knowing you, you'd attract trouble, so I'll go along," In his heart, Inu Yasha knew he really wanted to go with Kagome, but he didn't feel like telling her what his heart felt. So they started their walk with Kagome leading the way, until Inu Yasha sniffed the air and said, "There's a demon near by and it smells like it's cooking some thing. or someone," Kagome gasped,
"We have to help that poor thing! Let's go!" Kagome climbed onto Inu Yasha's back and he sprinted off in the direction the smell was coming from. When they had reached their destination, there was a little girl roasting a wild bird. Inu Yasha and Kagome hid in a tall tree watching the girl as she continued to cook her meal. She had a schoolgirl uniform on and her dark hair was tied into buns on both sides of her head. Then, the girl looked up to the tree where Inu Yasha and Kagome were hiding and shouted,
"I knew you were here from the moment you arrived. What do you want from me? Are you going to attack? Bring it on!" The girl now stood in a fighting stance. When Inu Yasha jumped out of the tree, many other demons jumped out of their hiding places in the brush and attacked the girl. The girl had fast reflexes and good dodging skills. Suddenly, the girl's ears turned dog-like like Inu Yasha's and she grew a tail, fangs, and claws. Soon the campsite was littered with the bodies of her attackers. He was shocked to see that the young girl had defeated the demons so easily. She was a tiny, little demon with lots of strength. "Now, why are you here. Didn't you want the cure, tot? Why are you staring? I look exactly like you," Kagome jumped out of the tree and surveyed the campsite.
"You poor thing. your dinner's ruined." She said as she tried to pick up some of the girl's belongings.
"Don't touch that." She said as Kagome picked up her bag. Inu Yasha agreed and said,
"Kagome. put the bag down." The girl smiled and her fangs dropped blood.
"You know what's good to stay away from, Hanyou," she said to Inu Yasha. The word stung his heart when he heard it. Kagome put the bag down and went back to Inu Yasha's side. Kagome whispered to him,
"What's in the sack?" He was quiet for a moment and then answered,
"It's a spell and it's wrapped with a protection spell. If you touch the protection spell, it'll burn a hole through your heart." Kagome gasped, grateful she didn't touch the contents of the mysterious girl's pack. The girl nodded,
"I guess you know the protection spell pretty well, Hanyou,"
This girl is getting on my nerves. I might as well kill her and get it over with, though I like her fighting style. She would have been a great addition to the team, He thought. As he stepped foreword, the girl spoke up,
"You want to kill me, Hanyou?" her words struck Inu Yasha in the heart. He was a Hanyou. Now that she had said it a couple of times now, it began to sink in. "What's wrong? Can't bear the thought of your girlfriend getting hurt?" Another pain struck his heart. He didn't want Kagome to get hurt.
"Kagome, run away from here. I'll find you later. Just go," Kagome nodded and ran. He turned to the girl and glared at her. "You! You're just a little hot shot! Today will be your execution and I am you executioner." He cracked his knuckles and lunged at her. He picked her up by her hair. She didn't flinch. He raised his claw to slit her throat, but she wriggled free and jumped onto his head. Inu Yasha tried to slash at her but she avoided his claws with ease. Then, she jumped off his head and bit his shoulder. She hung on for dear life as Inu Yasha swung her every which way, trying to get her off his shoulder, but she held fast. Without warning, something tackled the girl. She flew, but not very far. It was Kirara who had tackled her. Inu Yasha looked behind him and there stood Miroku, Sango, and Kagome. Shippo yelled,
"Fox fire!" but the girl dodged the flame. Then Miroku yelled,
"STOP! DON'T HARM HER! She may have something we could benefit from," Everyone turned to Miroku with confused expressions.
"What do you want from me?" She said as Miroku walked up to her. She moved into a fighter stance. Kagome rushed to Inu Yasha when she noticed blood on his shoulder.
"Are you Shika, the Hanyou from the future guarding the demon antidote?" she stood up straight and nodded and dropped to her knees holding her stomach.
"What? What happened?" Miroku asked but it was too late. She was already fainted. Sango called Kirara back to her side.
"I'll carry her back to the village," Kagome offered as she picked up the little girl. Miroku took her pack. Sango held Kirara and Shippo sat on her shoulder. Inu Yasha lagged behind. He was deep in thought.
So she's also a hanyou. I wonder what made her do that. I mean, it is very hard to live like a warrior. Why is she protecting that antidote? Kagome, who was staring at him, interrupted his thoughts.
"Are you okay? You seem spaced out," she said quietly.
"Eh? Why are you looking at me like that?" He turned pink under Kagome's eyes. Kagome turned away quickly and didn't answer. Shika opened her eyes and her ears immediately perked up and her tail went tense. Kagome smiled and said,
"You're awake now? Do you think you can walk?" Shika looked around.
"My backpack! Where is it?!" she said, alarmed. Miroku held it up and Shika relaxed.
"Why do you trust the monk with you pack and not me?" Inu Yasha asked, a little annoyed.
"Well, he's not part demon. We wouldn't want to steal something useless to him." Shika explained, cheekily. Inu Yasha grew angry.
"Why would I want a demon ANTIDOTE? I want to become a FULL demon. Not get rid of my demon blood!" he yelled. Shika yelled back,
"WELL SO DO I! But I still don't trust you," Inu Yasha was surprised at this remark and said no more.
"Can you walk Shika? You're getting really heavy!" Kagome said as she strained under Shika's weight.
"I'll carry her," Inu Yasha said, holding out his arms for Shika. She jumped into them unwillingly. Shippo jumped from Sango's shoulder to Kagome's head and looked at Shika from his perch.
"Hey, Shika! I'm sorry for the fight earlier. I didn't mean it, but it looked like you were beating Inu Yasha pretty badly," Shippo apologized. Shika looked up at him and flashed him a charming smile and said,
"Apology accepted. I know it was only defense of you and Inu Yasha, here," Shippo blushed and turned away to hide his red face.
"What do you mean by that Shippo!? I didn't call for any help. I would have killed her if you guys hadn't showed up!" Inu Yasha growled.
"Right. Whatever! You looked like you were going to-" Shika stopped suddenly when her ears twitched as Inu Yasha's did too. Shika announced, "I hear."
"A demon." Finished Inu Yasha. Shika looked up at Inu Yasha's serious face and found a memory from a long time ago.
Yes, I think I remember Inu Yasha's face from somewhere. He was smiling at me then. Why was he smiling? Then, something came out of the brush and ambushed Miroku. "THE ANTIDOTE!" Shika shrieked. The demon and Miroku were now wrestling on the ground.
"Miroku!" Sango yelled. She took a few steps, wanting to help him, but Shika yelled at Sango,
"Don't help him. I don't want to risk you getting hurt. It's too risky," Shika directed her focus to Miroku. "Let him hold the antidote!" she screamed at him. The demon grabbed the backpack and took out the antidote. As soon as the demon held the bottle, a red beam shot out and pierced his heart. He dropped the bottle and flopped lifelessly to the ground. Miroku scooped up the antidote with the bag, careful not to touch the spell. They continued their walk beck to the village. Inu Yasha was impressed with Shika's leadership.
She would be a great addition to our team. if she decides to side with us. They continued walking until they made it to Kaede's hut. She took one look at Shika and said,
"You aren't healing as fast as a normal demon would. You should be able to heal faster than that," Shika shook her head and said quietly.
"I know. Its because I'm only 25% demon." Inu Yasha's sensitive ears picked up what she had said.
"Ho! Is that so? You fight like you're a half breed not a quarter breed," He chuckled. No one heard what Shika had said first so they were all lost in Shika and Inu Yasha's argument.
"Oh really? Then you still fight like a half-breed 'cuz I got you good!" she shot back.
"Well, you were the one who bit me!" Inu Yasha yelled.
"I had to! You are more that half my size! What am I supposed to do? Get whipped?" she frowned as her ears twitched with annoyance.
"Yes!"
"Then, you wouldn't have had a challenge. I'm just too fast for you to handle." Suddenly Kaede yelled,
"You're behaving like children! I must heal Shika, so be quiet!" Everyone was silent.
"It's okay, Ma'am. I have my own healing potion in by bag. Then, Shika lifted her hand and the bag also lifted out of Miroku's hands. She waved her finger and the bag came to her. She dug in the bag and pulled out a small vile of liquid. She pulled the cork off the vile and put a drop of the liquid on her index finger. She licked the drop and she bruise disappeared.
"You're physic and you know how to make powerful spells! Where did you learn this?" Kaede gasped. Shika shook her head,
"I'm not a physic. I can just move things with my mind. It's very easy. I learned the spells from mommy's book in her library. The book was ages old already. I think it was from around this period of time. Well, I gotta go now. I still-" she was interrupted by the grumbling in her stomach.
"Oh! You haven't eaten because those demons destroyed your dinner." Kagome said sympathetically. "You can stay for dinner if you like." Shika smiled and jumped out of Inu Yasha's arms to give Kagome's leg a hug, since she wasn't that tall. Shippo jumped off Kagome's head and took Shika's hand.
"I'll show you around, okay?" Shika nodded and ran off with Shippo pulling her arm.
"You gotta love those two. They just get along so well." Sango commented. Inu Yasha started to walk away when Kagome called to him,
"Inu Yasha! Where are you going?" He turned back to her and replied,
"I'm going somewhere to think. Call me when it's dinnertime," Kagome sighed,
"What does he have to think about?" Miroku also looked like he was deep in thought. Sango waved her hand in his face.
"Are you okay? You've had that expression for the longest time now." She said worriedly.
"It's just that. I don't think we should have brought her back to the village. Now it's prone to attack because Shika is here and people might get hurt."
"Do you think at was a mistake to bring her here?" Kagome said sadly.
I don't understand that little brat. She's so strange. Her leadership qualities are good; I admit that, but her attitude towards me. I don't think she knows how lucky she is that I let her live. She's so stuck up. If her parents were here. I wonder what they would say. is it because she's protecting that antidote that demons attack her. or is it her body they want? Is there something special about her? Why is she in charge of protection that powerful antidote when she wants so be a full demon.? It's kind of suspicious to me.
"BOO!" yelled a female voice. Inu Yasha was startled and nearly fell off his perch. "I expected better than that from Inu Yasha!" giggled Shika as she hopped out of the tree. Inu Yasha glared at her.
"I was trying to think! You interrupted me!" he yelled at her. Shika shrugged and replied,
"I know. You were thinking how suspicious I am. Don't try to lie to me. I know you were. Just admit it and I won't tell Kagome." Inu Yasha smirked.
"You won't tell Kagome anything. I know you won't. I just want to ask questions, okay?" Shika cocked her head to one side.
"Okay then. Ask your questions." She said snobbishly. Inu Yasha could tell that it would be hard to get her to talk, so he started with simple questions.
"How did you get here in the first place?" He said as he jumped to the ground from his branch. Shika sighed and began her story,
"A demon put a spell on me and I ended up here, in this time. Isn't that stupid? Well, I actually wanted him to put the spell on me. because I wanted to save mommy. She's stuck with that demon till I get this demon antidote to him and he releases her. He sent me back in time to get it, but I can't find my way back to my time. By now, I bet he's eaten her already." what Shika and Inu Yasha didn't know, was that Miroku, Kagome, Shippo, and Sango were hiding behind the tree listening to them talk.
"Who is you mother, anyway?" Inu Yasha asked curiously.
"If I said her name, demons would come flocking from everywhere and kill me. I said her name here once and I almost died that day," Shika said bluntly. Inu Yasha was surprised to hear this. He asked,
"Who's your Father, then?" Shika hesitated before answering his question.
"I don't know who he is. Mommy wouldn't tell me who he was. All she said was that he was a Hanyou and he lived far, far away. I didn't know what she meant but it sounded as though she never wanted to talk about him, so I didn't push her." Inu Yasha was shocked. He didn't know what else to ask.
"Uh. I think we should head back to the village now, Shika. They may be worried about us." He held out his arms and Shika and she jumped hesitantly into them. "You still don't trust me, huh?" Shika laughed,
"Of course not. You give me these weird looks. like you want to kill me!" Inu Yasha shook his head and headed towards the village. Kagome smiled and commented,
"At least he's making an effort to get to know Shika!" Miroku nodded,
"I think she's a bit afraid of him, after what he almost did to her earlier." Sango laughed,
"But it looked like she was winning, until we got there." Shippo started running in the direction of the village.
"Let's go you slow pokes! They'll eat everything!" he headed to the direction of village. Kagome, Sango, and Miroku followed.
At the hut, Inu Yasha, Kaede, and Shika were already eating. Shika finished hastily and ran into the hut. As Kagome, Sango, Miroku, and Shippo were about to eat, they heard a flute playing in the distance. Inu Yasha's ears twitched for a moment, but he went back to eating.
"What was that?" Kagome asked.
"It's just Shika. She playing her flute," he answered as he chewed.
"Don't talk with your mouth full, Inu Yasha! That's so gross," Inu Yasha stared at her for a moment, then went back to eating.
"This is very good, Lady Kagome," commented Miroku. Kagome smiled and nodded,
"Yes, I am a good cook, huh?" Then, a shrill note came from Shika's flute and then her scream. Everyone turned to see what had happened, but all they saw was a demon running away with Shika's backpack. Shika emerged from the hut and yelled,
"Cover your ears! Especially Inu Yasha, Shippo, and Kirara's!" and with that, she blew a loud, high pitched sound that really did hurt the ears, especially Inu Yasha, Shippo, and Kirara's sensitive ears. The thief ran a bit slower, as his ears were also sensitive, since he was also a demon. Shika chased him into the woods.
"Inu Yasha! Go help Shika!" Kagome yelled, but as she turned to look at him, he was on the floor in a daze. Shippo and Kirara were doing the same thing. They couldn't help her. She was on her own.
As Shika ran, her hair fell out of the buns, revealing the white tips of hair she had been hiding within the buns. The thief turned around and stopped. He stared at her for a moment before picking her up and jumping into a tree. He jumped from branch to branch, always landing perfectly. The demon's grasp was too tight, Shika so she couldn't escape. She tried biting, scratching, screaming, hitting the demon with her flute, but nothing worked.
"Let me go right now!' She screamed at the top of her lungs. As she got a good look at the demon, she noticed that he was about 2 years older than she was. He was a dog demon. He had a young face; his ears were gray with white tips and his hair was jet black. It was held back in a low ponytail. His tail, like his ears, was gray with a white tip. He wore modern clothing, a loose tee shirt, baggy pants that were ripped at the knees, and has wristbands on his arm. "You are from the future?!" Shika asked. The demon stopped.
"Well, what if I am?" Shika cocked her head to one side.
"If you were, then, I might know you from somewhere. What school do you go to?"
"I never went to school. Why are you asking me these questions?" he continued jumping from branch to branch.
"Well, I just want to know. You're incredibly rude, you know that!? At least have manners! Even Inu Yasha is better mannered than you!" Shika shrieked. She could tell that he was getting annoyed of her pretty quickly. "You need "people skills'!" Shika recommended. The demon stopped again and yelled,
"This was a mistake bringing you with me! You just go home and don't follow me!" he put her down on a branch and hopped away with her bag. Of course, she followed him, in fear that he might use the antidote she was saving to rescue her mother with. Soon he got to a cave. He sat outside and opened Shika's bag. He was about to touch the antidote when Shika came out and snatched the bag away from him. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!" he yelled at her.
"I saved your miserable life, you know! One touch could have killed you, you BAKA!"
"I TOLD YOU GO LEAVE ME ALONE!" he said angrily. Shika was very mad now. She took her flute and smacked him on the head.
"ITAI! What was that for!?" Shika frowned.
"You have my stuff! DO YOU THINK I'M GOING TO LEAVE YOU ALONE!? USE COMMON SENCE!!!!" The demon boy rubbed his head and turned away from her.
"Go away. You shouldn't even be here," but when he turned back, she wasn't there anymore. He shrugged and went into the cave. It was a mess. There were many stolen things that littered the ground. The boy took off his shirt and threw it in the corner. Then he heard a female voice behind him.
"NO NO NO! Don't throw your clothes like that!" It was Shika. She had gone inside.
"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! I DID NOT SAY YOU COULD COME IN!" He yelled. He began to move towards her. Shika frowned.
"I see you need more than people skills. You need cleanliness lessons, too! Do you know how to fold your clothes," she said as she surveyed the cave. She could tell he was mad when he stood face to face with her, his eyes turned from their tranquil blue to an angry red.
"GET OUT!" he picked her up and tried to throw her outside, but before he could throw her, she hit him on the head with her flute again. "ITAI!" he let go of her and held his head.
"You don't treat your guests like that. You say, Welcome to my home! Come in and have a seat. We'll net to get you furniture. and chairs," she said gleefully. "I've always wanted to be a designer!" Defeated, the boy ran into the upper rooms. "COME BACK! I don't even know your name." she followed him until she found an open window. He was sitting on the sill, pouting. After a while, he spoke up.
"I am Tamahome. I guess I'd better get used to you. I don't have a woman in the house often."
"That's right! I'll help you for a couple of weeks and then I'll leave. I'm not staying permanently, just so you learn how to keep house and interact with other people." Tamahome's eyes settled to their normal blue and he stepped inside.

"Are you okay? You've had that expression for the longest time now." She said worriedly.
"It's just that. I don't think we should have brought her back to the village. Now it's prone to attack because Shika is here and people might get hurt."
"Do you think at was a mistake to bring her here?" Kagome said sadly.
I don't understand that little brat. She's so strange. Her leadership qualities are good; I admit that, but her attitude towards me. I don't think she knows how lucky she is that I let her live. She's so stuck up. If her parents were here. I wonder what they would say. is it because she's protecting that antidote that demons attack her. or is it her body they want? Is there something special about her? Why is she in charge of protection that powerful antidote when she wants so be a full demon.? It's kind of suspicious to me.
"BOO!" yelled a female voice. Inu Yasha was startled and nearly fell off his perch. "I expected better than that from Inu Yasha!" giggled Shika as she hopped out of the tree. Inu Yasha glared at her.
"I was trying to think! You interrupted me!" he yelled at her. Shika shrugged and replied,
"I know. You were thinking how suspicious I am. Don't try to lie to me. I know you were. Just admit it and I won't tell Kagome." Inu Yasha smirked.
"You won't tell Kagome anything. I know you won't. I just want to ask questions, okay?" Shika cocked her head to one side.
"Okay then. Ask your questions." She said snobbishly. Inu Yasha could tell that it would be hard to get her to talk, so he started with simple questions.
"How did you get here in the first place?" He said as he jumped to the ground from his branch. Shika sighed and began her story,
"A demon put a spell on me and I ended up here, in this time. Isn't that stupid? Well, I actually wanted him to put the spell on me. because I wanted to save mommy. She's stuck with that demon till I get this demon antidote to him and he releases her. He sent me back in time to get it, but I can't find my way back to my time. By now, I bet he's eaten her already." what Shika and Inu Yasha didn't know, was that Miroku, Kagome, Shippo, and Sango were hiding behind the tree listening to them talk.
"Who is you mother, anyway?" Inu Yasha asked curiously.
"If I said her name, demons would come flocking from everywhere and kill me. I said her name here once and I almost died that day," Shika said bluntly. Inu Yasha was surprised to hear this. He asked,
"Who's your Father, then?" Shika hesitated before answering his question.
"I don't know who he is. Mommy wouldn't tell me who he was. All she said was that he was a Hanyou and he lived far, far away. I didn't know what she meant but it sounded as though she never wanted to talk about him, so I didn't push her." Inu Yasha was shocked. He didn't know what else to ask.
"Uh. I think we should head back to the village now, Shika. They may be worried about us." He held out his arms and Shika and she jumped hesitantly into them. "You still don't trust me, huh?" Shika laughed,
"Of course not. You give me these weird looks. like you want to kill me!" Inu Yasha shook his head and headed towards the village. Kagome smiled and commented,
"At least he's making an effort to get to know Shika!" Miroku nodded,
"I think she's a bit afraid of him, after what he almost did to her earlier." Sango laughed,
"But it looked like she was winning, until we got there." Shippo started running in the direction of the village.
"Let's go you slow pokes! They'll eat everything!" he headed to the direction of village. Kagome, Sango, and Miroku followed.
At the hut, Inu Yasha, Kaede, and Shika were already eating. Shika finished hastily and ran into the hut. As Kagome, Sango, Miroku, and Shippo were about to eat, they heard a flute playing in the distance. Inu Yasha's ears twitched for a moment, but he went back to eating.
"What was that?" Kagome asked.
"It's just Shika. She playing her flute," he answered as he chewed.
"Don't talk with your mouth full, Inu Yasha! That's so gross," Inu Yasha stared at her for a moment, then went back to eating.
"This is very good, Lady Kagome," commented Miroku. Kagome smiled and nodded,
"Yes, I am a good cook, huh?" Then, a shrill note came from Shika's flute and then her scream. Everyone turned to see what had happened, but all they saw was a demon running away with Shika's backpack. Shika emerged from the hut and yelled,
"Cover your ears! Especially Inu Yasha, Shippo, and Kirara's!" and with that, she blew a loud, high pitched sound that really did hurt the ears, especially Inu Yasha, Shippo, and Kirara's sensitive ears. The thief ran a bit slower, as his ears were also sensitive, since he was also a demon. Shika chased him into the woods.
"Inu Yasha! Go help Shika!" Kagome yelled, but as she turned to look at him, he was on the floor in a daze. Shippo and Kirara were doing the same thing. They couldn't help her. She was on her own.
As Shika ran, her hair fell out of the buns, revealing the white tips of hair she had been hiding within the buns. The thief turned around and stopped. He stared at her for a moment before picking her up and jumping into a tree. He jumped from branch to branch, always landing perfectly. The demon's grasp was too tight, Shika so she couldn't escape. She tried biting, scratching, screaming, hitting the demon with her flute, but nothing worked.
"Let me go right now!' She screamed at the top of her lungs. As she got a good look at the demon, she noticed that he was about 2 years older than she was. He was a dog demon. He had a young face; his ears were gray with white tips and his hair was jet black. It was held back in a low ponytail. His tail, like his ears, was gray with a white tip. He wore modern clothing, a loose tee shirt, baggy pants that were ripped at the knees, and has wristbands on his arm. "You are from the future?!" Shika asked. The demon stopped.
"Well, what if I am?" Shika cocked her head to one side.
"If you were, then, I might know you from somewhere. What school do you go to?"
"I never went to school. Why are you asking me these questions?" he continued jumping from branch to branch.
"Well, I just want to know. You're incredibly rude, you know that!? At least have manners! Even Inu Yasha is better mannered than you!" Shika shrieked. She could tell that he was getting annoyed of her pretty quickly. "You need "people skills'!" Shika recommended. The demon stopped again and yelled,
"This was a mistake bringing you with me! You just go home and don't follow me!" he put her down on a branch and hopped away with her bag. Of course, she followed him, in fear that he might use the antidote she was saving to rescue her mother with. Soon he got to a cave. He sat outside and opened Shika's bag. He was about to touch the antidote when Shika came out and snatched the bag away from him. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE!" he yelled at her.
"I saved your miserable life, you know! One touch could have killed you, you BAKA!"
"I TOLD YOU GO LEAVE ME ALONE!" he said angrily. Shika was very mad now. She took her flute and smacked him on the head.
"ITAI! What was that for!?" Shika frowned.
"You have my stuff! DO YOU THINK I'M GOING TO LEAVE YOU ALONE!? USE COMMON SENCE!!!!" The demon boy rubbed his head and turned away from her.
"Go away. You shouldn't even be here," but when he turned back, she wasn't there anymore. He shrugged and went into the cave. It was a mess. There were many stolen things that littered the ground. The boy took off his shirt and threw it in the corner. Then he heard a female voice behind him.
"NO NO NO! Don't throw your clothes like that!" It was Shika. She had gone inside.
"GET OUT OF MY HOUSE! I DID NOT SAY YOU COULD COME IN!" He yelled. He began to move towards her. Shika frowned.
"I see you need more than people skills. You need cleanliness lessons, too! Do you know how to fold your clothes," she said as she surveyed the cave. She could tell he was mad when he stood face to face with her, his eyes turned from their tranquil blue to an angry red.
"GET OUT!" he picked her up and tried to throw her outside, but before he could throw her, she hit him on the head with her flute again. "ITAI!" he let go of her and held his head.
"You don't treat your guests like that. You say, Welcome to my home! Come in and have a seat. We'll net to get you furniture. and chairs," she said gleefully. "I've always wanted to be a designer!" Defeated, the boy ran into the upper rooms. "COME BACK! I don't even know your name." she followed him until she found an open window. He was sitting on the sill, pouting. After a while, he spoke up.
"I am Tamahome. I guess I'd better get used to you. I don't have a woman in the house often."
"That's right! I'll help you for a couple of weeks and then I'll leave. I'm not staying permanently, just so you learn how to keep house and interact with other people." Tamahome's eyes settled to their normal blue and he stepped inside.
