Key key- hi all a new story is now out
summary- kagome and the gang are traveling in search of the once again shattered shikon jewel following a rumor that a demonist is killing all that has jewel shards and is collecting them for her self. Shippo is acting weird when ever some one mentions the demonist and clings onto Kagome more often what will happen dont ask me i dont even know yet
"uhuhuh" talking
thinking
other persons in head
"Inuyasha I know you want to catch this demon but if the rest of us dont get some rest we will be of no help in the battle if this demon has as many shards as the priest said so please please let us take a break " Kagome begs cluching her side
Inuyasha looks back at her weary face and flush cheeks and was about to cave when her sent was brought to his nose a light blush reaches his cheeks when the sent of her heat cycle reaches his nose "Uh no this area is not safe to make camp"
"Hey it's not problem Inuyasha I can put up a barrier around the clearing " Kagome says Smileing softly to Inuyasha causeing the almost unoticeable blush on his cheeks to darken
"Keh"
"Thanks Inuyasha whew I really needed a break I probally couldn't have lasted much longer at this rate " Kagome says sitting down with a sigh
"Kagome?" A small timid voice calls out
Kagome looks down to see Shippo the adorable little fox kit she adopted as her little brother ( Ha I bet you thought I was going to put son well I was but there is a really good reason I didn't do that)
"yes Shippo?"
"Can I sit in your lap?" he asks looking around nervously
"Sure Shippo just be carefull I'm cramping a little "
Shippo nods and climes in Kagome's lap curling up like a cat as Kagome leans aganist a tree with a sigh and a grump
I should tell them but if I do they will hate me oh father what should I do I dont want them to hate me I dont think I could take it if Kagome turned me away
She wont turn you away Kit
What who are you?
I'm your father Shippo.
Dad? Were are you? I thought you were dead.
I am .
Then how are you speaking with me?
I am not staying Shippo I have been sent here to put your fears to rest and let you know that its ok to tell the young miko who you are she will accept you no matter what.
How do you know?
Has she turned any one away so far?
No but...
Then youhave nothing to worry about.
Ok I'll tell Kagome but what about the others? They may never trust me again.
The demon slayer and the monk will more than likely under stand but the hanyou not so much.
I can live with that .
Good now Shippo I have to go.
No dont go
Shippo I'm allways looking over you but im not alive any more the Kamis alowed me this one chance to talk to you then I have to go
But I need you
No you dont look around you kit you have every thing you need and more right there
But
No buts Shippo now I have to go
All right Ill miss you father
Ill miss you to Shippo
Shippo is brought out of his thoughts by a hand on his head he looks up to see Kagome with a concerned look in her eyes "Shippo are you all right? I called you like five times and you didn't anwser me. "
"I'm all right Kagome I was just thinking."
"Really what about?"
"Uh...sigh Kagome everyone " Shippo starts gaining the attention of every one in the clearing "I need to tell you some thing something really important ...I would have told you sooner but I wasn't sure how you would react to the fact that it could put all of your lives in danger..."
"Shippo I'm sure what ever it is it cant be that bad" Sango says polishing her Hiraikotsu
"Well..." Shippo starts but is cut off by Miroku
"I mean really what could out dearest friend Shippo have to say thats so important ...say Shippo did you meet a new girl? If so does she have a beautiful older sister?"
Sango hits mirkou atop his head "Shippo please continue"
Kagome looks down at Shippo her brown eyes still full of worry for the little fox and anoyance at a certian Hanyou whs name will not be mentioned stareing at her with a weird gleem in his eye
"I havn't been completely honest with you all about who I am well with the exception of Kilala of course " Said neko looks up at shippo as to say are you sure you want to do this now?
"What do you mean shippo?" Kagome asks
"Kagome I should have told you when you decided to take me in and protect me who I was "
"OUT WITH IT RUNT!!!!" Inuyasha yells
"Im not just a random Kitizune who's father was killed for the shikon no tama I'm...."
"Hold that thought Shippo I sence a very powerfull demonic aura with a very large amount of shikon jewels " Kagome says standing up suddenly aiming her bow A large blast of demonic power explodes in front of her filling the air with smoke when the smoke clears a demonest with cream colored hair and filimar green eyes that were tented red in her rage pointed ears and a sliky cream colored tail wearing a out fit similar to Shippo only no fur vest and every thing was black
"YOU HAVE JEWELS ?" She asks her beast clearly talking for her
Kagome looks her dead in the eyes "Yeah we do and I happen to know you do to so hand them over or eles we will have to make you"
"YOU KILL MATE?"
"Kill mate?" Kagome asks her head tilted to the side
"MATE DEAD KIT MISSING? JEWEL CLUE. YOU KILL MATE? "
"We have no idea who your mate is" Kagome says the female demon aparently didn't like Kagome's anwser and growled loudly grabbing her by the throat cutting off her air supply
"STOP!!!!!!"
Every one turns to were the voice came from and was shocked to find that it came from Shippo who had tears running down his face
"S..Shippo?" Kagome says gasping for air
Shippo ignores Kagome which shocked every one and walked up to the female Kitzune "Let her go please please let her go"
The Kitizune looks down at shippo and drops Kagome to the ground only to pick up Shippo and start sniffing him
"Shippo!!" Kagome cries out in worry
"YOU KIT SAFE?"
"Yes i'm fine" Shippo says in a cracked voice
The red fades from the woman's eyes and she cuddles Shippo to her chest "I was so worried about you when I saw your fathers last fox fire I knew he died protecting you and I was furious but when your fox fire didn't show up I became worried and I searched for you but couldn't find you only drops of your blood whoch sent me into a blood lust killing all who had shikon shards cause i'm positive thats what he was kill for."
"Yeah he was killed by the thunder brothers for his shard and fur " Shippo says sadly
The womans eyes flash red but she shakes her head to clear it before looking down at Shippo "Come we must avenge your father "
"Thats not needed" Shippo says biteing on his lower lip a habbit he gained from being near Kagome to long
"eh?" The demonist asks
"Kagome and Inuyasha helped me avenge father the thunder brothers are dead" Shippo explains the demonist opens her mouth to responf but Kagome cuts her off.
"Uh Shippo who is this woman?" Kagome asks still a bit wary of the demon though Shippo seemed to know her really well
Shippo scratches the back of his head for what felt like the hundred time that day "Well this all goes back to what I was saying eariler but before I tell you that this is my mother... Ruri."
The clearing goes deathly quiet "Y..Your mother? But I thought you were an orphan?" Kagome Asks sadly
"No " Shippo says distracted when his fox like nature kicks in when his mother's tail sweeps infront of him
"Oh ...If you'll excuse me " Kagome walks off quickly leaveing a confused fox demon four concerned eyes and a distracted kit
"Poor Kagome" Sango says sitting down again now that there was no danger
"Yeah I fell bad for the poor girl." Miroku says
"Mew"
"Keh"
"What's going on?" Ruri asks Sango
"When you leave Shippo is leaveing with you correct?" Sango asks
"Yes but what does that have to do with any thing ?"
"Not to long ago Kagome's birth family died her grand father from old age her mother from sickness and her little brother was killed the only thing any one found of him was a finger and a leg...She took it real hard she didn't eat she didn't sleep she even tryed to kill her self after we killed Naraku...The only thing that kept her going was Shippo... Shippo was there to comfort her in a way none of the rest of us could soon she came to see him as her little brother...She was finally able to be a big sister to be able to protect some one have some one come to her when they were being picked on by a certian some one" Sango Says sending a glance towards Inuyasha
"Heh" Inuyasha says softly remembering how broken Kagome was
"So this Kagome looks to my son as a brother?"
"Listen lady I know your Shippo's mother an all but heres the thing if it wasn't for Kagome Shippo wouldn't have been here with us cause at the time I could care less about the little runt I wanted to leave him" Inuyasha says with a grunt
Ruri growls at this but is stoped by Miroku putting his hand on her shoulder in a non perverted way for once (mostly because she could kill him at any given moment) "Please ignore Inuyasha what were trying to say is that if you take Shippo away Kagome will most likely die in her greiff of loseing another family member."
A thick silence covers the group Ruri stands up suddenly and walks in the direction Kagome went she walks for about 10 min until she sees Kagome sitting on the edge of a cliff her legs hanging over the side
"What do you want?" Kagome asks softly
Ruri sits down next to kagome and looks into the distance "I want to thank you"
"For what I haven't done any thing ?"
"You saved my son"
"Oh"
"Thats why I want to thank you "
"Well your welcome but w..when you t..t..take him .a...a..way can you promise me you'll let him visit " Kagome says truning to Ruri her eyes glistining with unshed tears
"Here" Ruri says ignoreing her request in favor of handing over her jewel shards Kagome gasps it was a little over half of the jewel Kagome takes her jewel shards out of the jar around her kneck anf forces her energy into the jewel melding the jewel to gether once she was done she could tell that maybe about 10 shards were missing
"Thanks ?"
"It was nothing your friends told me what happend to your family and why your so attached to Shippo and vice versa"
"oh " Kagome says her eyes distant and she turns back towards the sky seeing the faces of her family members in the clouds
"You know killing your self isn't going to solve any thing "
"I know... I wasn't.... I have to stay alive to restore the shikon jewel and finally destroy it for ever "
"Is that the only reason your living? "
"What other reaseon do I have? My family is dead Inuyasha's got Kikyo Sango and Miroku are sure to end up together and start a family and now Shippo has you once the jewel is destroyed what use do I have to any one?"
"..."
"See not even you can give me an anwser sigh lets get back to the group before every one starts to worry"
"Very well"
Ruri and Kagome stand up dusting the dirt off of there clothes and walks back tothe others in silence by the time they make it back it was dark end every one had settled down or the night Kagome walked over to her sleeping bag and went to sleep with out a look to any one Shippo stood off to the side torn as to who he wanted to sleep with his mother or Kagome
"Kit?"
"Yes mother? "
"I want you to stay with this group for a little while longer"
"Really why?" Shippo asks jumping into Ruri's lap
"I'm leaveing in the morning and will be gone for 1 month "
"1 month why?"
"Let me finish Kit I will not really be gone I will be in the shadows keeping an eye on Kagome"
"You mean your gonna...."
"Yes now come here I wish to sleep with my Kit"
Shippo cuddles himself in his mother's stomach takeing in her sent alowing it to lure him into a calming sleep Ruri looks down at Shippo and smiles she then looks at Kagome
