Chapter One:
There was a growl from the white haired hanyou as he staggered, trying to push Miroku and Kagome away from him, "I said I'm fine!" he stated angrily trying to keep them from helping him, He was just fine, He didn't need their help. Hell they wouldn't even be able to help him! He groaned walking ahead of them only to drop like a rock to the ground panting heavily.
Kagome knelt beside him, looking as worried as she always did and it made the panting hanyou frown, "Will you stop looking at me like that?" he snapped with a bit more force then he really meant, causing the girl to flinch.
The hanyou gave her a hard glare, and eventually she frowned and glared right back, "Shut up Inuyasha, I know very well you're not fine!" She huffed, taking a hold of one of the soft ears, giving a bit of a painful pinch. He winced, but she knew she had his attention. "You're in pain Inuyasha, and as much as you might hate it, you need help. We're going to get you to the nearest town whether you like it or not so just shut up and behave"
She was mildly surprised all she got was silence, but looking at his face she frowned seeing the hanyou had passed out. She looked up at Sango who gave a nod. Kirara moved and shifted to her larger form, with the help of Miroku, Sango got Inuyasha onto Kirara's back, and Kagome sat behind the white haired Hanyou to hold onto him and keep him from falling off.
With a nod from Miroku, Sango and the monk ran along side of Kirara, Shippo was hanging onto Miroku's shoulder so not to fall off. The group was headed towards the closest town they knew of, hopefully they'd make it in time.
Kagome glanced to Inuyasha, worried for the hanyou, he had his rough edges but he always came through when they needed him for whatever it might be. She looked up as Shippohopped from Miroku's shoulder to her own.
Shippo pulled her from her thoughts and asked, "He'll be okay right? I mean, the dog is fun to play with." he stated, Shippo and Inuyasha almost always argued and bickered, but it seemed more like a brotherly bickering.
Kagome forced a smile onto her face, "I'm sure he'll be fine, He's to stubborn to die anyways." Or at least she hoped so.
At least her words put Shippo at ease and he looked ahead.
Kagome did as well when she got a tingling sensation. She knew instantly it was her gift, letting her know a particularity strong demon was close by. But what caused her to blink, was it was familiar.
-Flash Back :: Written by Avenging Neko:::-
Kagome winced as she tripped over an upraised root, hand clutched tightly over the chunk of the Shikon. Barely managing to catch herself, she cursed the loss of her bow and scrabbled for the dropped arrow, the last one she had. If she could just keep away from her pursuers long enough the others would surely find her... right?
The sharp pain tearing up her back as an energy whip rent her skin was her answer. Screaming, she fell back to the ground and hurried to flip over, scooting backwards to press herself against the trunk of the tree that had tripped her.
Wide brown eyes sought out the demon that had struck her, and raised her arrow defensively, the tip glowing pink with her powers. Mocking laughter deafened her as her senses practically exploded from the sudden release of youki. She was surrounded. "Shit."
A new, more subtle, spike of youki attracted the young miko's attention upward, and she thought she caught a flash of silver among the leaves before a deep voice spoke, the words mocking, "Ganging up on a helpless woman? For shame, and you call yourselves demons."
The others, there were at least five of them, roared in outrage at the speaker's words, and she could make out certain words like 'miko bitch' and 'jewel'.
"Disgraceful, lowering yourselves to such." The mocking edge turned cold, and Kagome shivered as she sensed his youki traveling through the tree and into the grass, spreading outwards upwards her pursuers.
The ground heaved under her as the roots of the tree drove themselves upwards like the tentacles of Naraku's wooden puppets, impaling the power hungry demons. One of them got free, however, and charged Kagome, who shrieked and flung the glowing arrow up defensively, a barrier forming at the last second. The demon vaporized on contact with it and she shivered, this time from blood loss, as she leaned weakly against the tree. She didn't feel so good... that scratch must be deeper than she thought.
The sounds of the others died away within moments, and she knew they were dead when their auras vanished.
Her savior, a kitsune she could now tell, jumped from the tree and eyed her with a strange look on his face, and her fist tightened around the jewel instinctively. He chuckled, "No fear, miko, that bauble holds no sway over me." Despite herself, too trusting by all means, she relaxed and gave him a grateful smile. His silver hair and golden eyes reminded her of her hanyou friend and protector, which reminded her that he would be coming soon. She hoped.
The fox's nose twitched as he took in the deepening blood scent surrounding her and his expression turned to mild concern as he reached for her shoulder and she was too weak to flinch. Pulling gently, he inspected the stained fabric of her odd shirt, and for whatever reasons he had, apparently decided to help her. "A deep one, likely to scar." His voice was a low soothing rumble, and she nearly passed out then and there, but her instincts screamed at her that it would be a terrible idea. So she forced herself to stay conscious as he did something with what looked to be a seed. The sharp smell of pungent sap filled her nose as something cool and paste like began to seep into her wound, sealing it.
Kagome sighed, feeling the cool numbness spread through her aching skin, "Thanks."
There was no reply, for the demon had vanished. The reason why became apparent when she heard her name being called from the trees. "Kagome!" It was Inuyasha, he must have smelled her blood, and he'd be there any minute.
- End Flash Back :: Flash Back was Written by Avenging Neko::-
Kagome seemed to snap out of her memory when she could feel the kitsune's energy even closer, she turned some, "guys stop!" Despite the confusion the others stopped as she requested, she moved, slipping off of Kirara. "Sango hold him?" she looked to Sango who nodded and moved over taking hold of the hanyou Inuyasha.
Kagome turned to the others, "I'll be back, I think I know someone who can help!" She then turned abruptly, having turned so fast Shippo slipped off her shoulders and landed with a thud on the ground.
Groaning the small fox sat up he looked up at the others, "What got into her?" the young kit asked to only get a couple shrugs.
Kagome didn't stop any time soon as she hurried into the forest following her senses to find the other demon.
She stopped in her run to catch her breath as she looked around, she didn't quite understand, here is where she sensed the power the strongest… Taking a gulp she called out, "are you here? Mr. Fox?" She looked around, and seemed to tense hearing a laughter.
"Mr. Fox?" The voice laughed out, but she recognized the voice. It was the very same kitsune who had helped her before.
Kagome whipped around on her heel when she heard a sound, and there he was, standing calmly leaning against a tree. The same silver hair, and those same piercing golden eyes.
"At least you're not injured this time little miko, but I am curious, as to why you've come here looking for me?" His face didn't betray any emotion, but his eyes shimmered, with what she could best guess as curiosity and mild amusement.
Kagome took a gulp, and spoke gently but firmly, "I sensed your energy, and, was hoping I could perhaps get your help once again…"
Youko's head tilted to a side as a slender brow rose, "My help? You don't seem to be injured, nor have the scent of blood about you, May I ask how you'd need my help?"
Kagome squared her shoulders, her face setting into a seriousness, "The help is not for me, but my friend, He was hurt, but where he seemed to heal physically from his injury, there is something wrong with him."
Youko's head tilted to a side, watching her silently for a few moments. "Well, I'm bored with nothing better to do... Lead me to this friend of yours." He was curious as to what could happen to a miko's friend to have her actually seek out a demon for help.
Kagome nodded and moved, slowly heading back, glancing back to make sure the fox was following... "My name is Kagome by the way," she stated gently, glancing over at the silver haired kitsune.
Youko simply gave a nod, then thought a moment, "I assume you want my name then... I guess it's customary to give one's name in return." the kitsune mused aloud. "I am Youko Kurama." he gave as he followed after the young miko.
Kagome gave a smile which confused Kurama, why would she smile just getting his name? He pushed it back out of his mind as he followed her, once she left the cover of the forest, Kurama hesitated, but eventually stepped out after her. Seeing others on the path, one seemed unconscious he rose a brow.
But once the fire cat started growling at him, he simply stopped and put his hands up near his chest, palms out, "Hey now I was asked here," he stated simply.
Kagome nodded, "Kirara, it's okay. He's going to help Inuyasha." Or at least she hoped he could.
Once the fire cat stopped growling, Youko let his hands drop back to his sides, and slowly stepped forward, It was Shippo who gasped.
Shippo looked up at the tall elegant looking fox demon, He'd never seen such a fox before! "Wow!" escaped his young mouth before he could stop and moved forward looking up at the taller kitsune. "I'm Shippo!" he greeted energetically.
Youko rose a brow and looked down at him, damn they had a kit with them? Damn his soft spot for young ones, he growled inside his head, but a smirk of a smile ended up on his face, "Well isn't this interesting, a miko traveling with at least two demons…" he looked up to the two humans, "a warrior of some sort, a monk... and…" his eyes landed on the unconscious hanyou. Well, that wasn't something you saw everyday. His golden eyes narrowed as he frowned.
He looked to Kagome still frowning, "How long has he been out?" he asked bluntly as he stepped closer.
Kagome blinked a few times, "Maybe a couple of hours?" She really wasn't sure how long Inuyasha had been unconscious. She really hadn't made a note of it, by the kitsune's tone, she was worried that maybe she should have taken note of the time... "Can you help Kurama?" she asked gently, dropping off the Youko part as it seemed not very personal to her.
The kitsune's auds dropped back as a hand lifted to his hair, "Perhaps," was his only response, "Why don't you and your friends make a camp, I'll do what I can" he stated simply, easily lifting the hanyou out of Sango's arms and took a few steps closer to the forest, and laid him down, off the path, or road as the humans called it.
Sango wasn't too easy with the demon, so she opted to start getting a fire pit ready so she could keep an eye on the demon, Miroku went to get fire wood, as Shippo, ever curious watched the other fox.
When Shippo saw what was in his hand he tilted his head confused, but gasped as the seed sprang to life and became a plant. "Oh wow! You're an earth fox!" he stated a bit excitedly.
Youko just gave him a side-long glance before going back to what he was doing, the plant was ready, he looked to the kit, "You wouldn't happen to have any bowls would you?" he asked bluntly, ignoring the smaller fox's comment about his element.
Shippo nodded and hurried over to their pack, and brought over a couple bowls, not really knowing how many the older fox would need.
Shippo watched with rapt interest as Youko went to 'work'. The plant he grew he poured more energy into and soon it was dripping a sour smelling sap, then he pulled more seeds from their hiding places and worked on growing them, soon enough different plants added their contributions to the bowl, and soon he had it mixed into a semi-sweet/sour smelling liquid. He looked to the Warrior who had a fire pit ready, and figured she was there, may as well put her to work, "You" the fox stated bluntly, golden eyes looking over at her.
Sango tensed and glared, "Sango" she stated bluntly.
Youko waved a hand dismissively, "Get the hanyou to drink this." He stated simply.
Sango glared but walked over, "He has a name also, It's Inuyasha." She stated a bit sharply not liking the fox at the moment.
Youko just gave her a hard gaze as she knelt, "I don't think he would care about me knowing his name when time's running out, I say again, get him to drink this," he handed her the bowl and stood, brushing the dirt off his pants afterwards.
Sango frowned, not sure if she should, she sniffed the mix and grimaced. She was glad she wasn't the one drinking it. But she was still worried, but what other choice did they have? Inuyasha wouldn't make it if they didn't do something, and this seemed their best option.. So she worked on getting him to drink it, having to put so much in his mouth, rub his throat to get the hanyou to swallow.
By time she finished getting the bowl into him, she looked up and didn't see the demon anywhere and she cursed about to get up, and Shippo noticed, "Sango he'll be back," he stated smiling warmly.
Sango watched Shippo frowning, "How do you know that?"
Shippo rose a brow, "Because he told me?" He nodded, "Another fox wouldn't lie to me! He said something about getting water," he stated as Sango slowly sat back down keeping guard over Inuyasha.
It was shortly after that Kagome and Miroku returned with fire wood, blinking Kagome looked around, "where's-"
She didn't get to finish as Shippo chirped, "He went to get some water, he'll be back!"
Kagome blinked, but smiled giving a nod, "Okay, thanks Shippo... how's Inuyasha?" she asked looking over to Sango.
Sango wanted a reason to get rid of the other fox, but she sighed, "he's actually doing better, he's not gasping for breath anymore." she stated softly.
Kagome smiled, "I'm glad."
Miroku got the wood ready and Shippo happily lit it with his power. A now small Kirara laid down by the fire purring as she relaxed and Shippo joined her humming to himself as any child would to entertain theirself.
Kagome knelt on Inuyasha's other side and glanced up when Sango spoke.
"I don't trust that demon, he's been gone way too long." she stated a bit sharply.
Kagome could only blink at her a few times, "you don't even know him, and he's helping Inuyasha..." she spoke softly, frowning a bit.
Sango huffed, "It doesn't take hours to get water."
But a laugh entered their ears and a smirk on the demons face as he walked over, "It does when you're more then a good few miles from a river or lake or any sort. Seriously I'm surprised you don't travel along the water rather than these stupid human roads," he spoke with such ease. He stepped closer, and set a container down, golden eyes looking at the hanyou, "I see he's breathing better," the fox stated ignoring Sango's heated glare.
Youko turned and moved towards the woods, waving a hand over his shoulder, "I'll return in the morning, there's water for you and your friends little miko." he stated before he seemed to vanish in a blur.
Kagome crossed her arms and glared at Sango, "you were very rude! He's just helping." Of course it might be her easiness to trust others, or the fact he even helped her before without even taking the Shikon jewel shard from her.
Sango just rolled her eyes and moved to get settled in for the night as it was getting later.
Kagome sighed, but moved and carefully got Inuyasha to drink some of the water the kitsune had brought back for them, where he got the bucket she had no idea, but she didn't care to think about it for the moment.
Kagome sighed and laid a blanket over Inuyasha after more time went by, she glanced over to the tree line but then turned, and laid down, Miroku took over watching over their small camp when she laid down. It was late, she was tired.
Kagome didn't take long to fall asleep...
Youko had watched from a tree branch after he had gone back to the trees frowning lightly as he watched them. He really should have just mixed all the stuff they'd need then left after telling them when to give the hanyou the antidotes. But no matter, there was no changing it now.
Golden eyes had watched the young fox, as he interacted with the warrior, by the glare she gave him he was pretty sure she was a demon slayer. It would explain her distaste for him.
Golden eyes then watched the human monk. Something seemed to draw the kitsune's attention to that wrapped hand of his. There was something about it, but he couldn't place his finger on it.
After the sky turned dark, he watched over the little miko, until she laid down and the monk took over the watch. That was when Youko decided he needed at least some sleep if he was going to be of any use to the miko's hanyou friend. He got comfortable on the tree and eventually dozed off. Still alert, but relaxed as he rested.
