I finish Packing my Bag before i place a shrinking spell on it and put the back in my pocket. I turn to face my long time friend. "Kagome, are you sure this is a good idea. I mean i've been in you're time for a reason. it's not safe for me there. us female Inu are near whipped out. I mean the only one i even heard of was the house of moon's Lady Kimiko. I rather not risk becoming breeding fodder" i say hesitantly.
"well you're amazing at hiding your demonic aura and scent and yokai so we can have you transform into a puppy like Kirara does but stay that way and act like a regular non demonic dog. you can hide in my back and we act like you snuck in there and some how made it through the well" she states.
"thats all well and good, till we are attacked by a strong opponent who is after the jewel shards. you can't expect me to stand by and let your group get hurt" i snap.
"well puppy you can run off, transform and human form you can come in fight and use your tele-port ability to go somewhere else transform back and pretend to be knocked out near by".
i just nod and transform into a small pitch black puppy with gold colored paws and tip on the tail and ears. i then crawl into her bag and curl up.
"you make such a cute puppy" she squealed making me wince.
with that she ran off with me hidden among her large amount of crap i had to use a shrinking spell on so that i did't get squished. I felt the freefall feeling as she jumped through the well. she landed gracefully and started to claim making me tumble about in the back. I growl lowly and hear her whisper an apology before i hear a very loud half breed's grating voice.
"what the hell took you so long wench!" he snapped. i could feel Kagome's aura rise in annoyance. i sign, she was right that half breed will never learn. so before he managed to dig himself a bigger grave i give a small growl as a signal and she drops her back which "accidently" falls over making me roll out. i shake off the fall and pant happily and sniff around.
"what the hell, how'd this mutt get through well?" the half breed asked. i growl lowly at the term mutt.
"she must have snuck in my bag while i wasn't looking. my family was charged with her care for a few month for a family friend" Kagome explained. i walk up to the the fox child and nussle him, as i could sense he was upset about something. I'm suddenly lifted by the scruff of my neck by the half breed. "well dump the thing back in your time so we can go" he snapped while violently jerking towards Kagome. the monk and and warrior looking women seemed pissed about his treatment of me. i growl in warning.
"um inuyasha, i think you should put her down" Shippo stated looking annoyed.
"shut up brat, this thing shouldn't even be here so i can treat it how ever i want" he snapped. I growled before wrenching myself from his hold and biting hard on his ankle release just a small amount of venom. just enough to cause serious pain, but not enough to cause permanent damage. he cries out in pain and i sit next to shippo protectively. Inuyasha starts ranting and was about to come after me when kagome Yells sit and i watch him face plant into the ground hard. I bark happily as shippo laughs.
"Cebba is staying, if she made it through the well then there is a reason why she's here" she snapped. with that we were off.
-time skip 4 months-
We were finally stopping for the day and i lowered to let shippo off my back. I controlled my size loosely of the growth of giant breeds of dogs. so after four months i was fairly decent size.
i only needed to transform into a human once when the group was attacked by a naraku puppet. but i had disappeared before anyone could say anything. so far no one has even become remotely aware except maybe shippo who i've taken to caring for like a son. which Kagome noticed and encouraged. As we laid down i felt a strong yokai coming our way. the half breed yet to sense it. I growl and bark loudly in warning and kagome grabbed her bow.
"what the hell Kagome?" inuyasha asked confused.
"Cebba senses danger" Kagome replied and inuyasha sniffed the air and growled.
"sesshomaru!" he snapped. me and Kagome froze.
"Cebba take shippo and Run!" She yelled.
I didn't hesitate as shippo jumped onto my back and i took off fast.
there is no bigger danger to me the Current Lord of the west, he is a full blooded inuyokai who is craft and strategic and very very hard to fool. according to kagome he lives up to his reputation.
"Cebba, why does kagome what us to run" i hear the fox kit ask. i speak in inu which i knew he understood and i know that regular dogs also speak.
"to keep you safe, little one. I'm take you from danger and guard you should a particularly strong opponent attack".
he laughed "you can tell me the whole truth, i sorta figured out your a demon" he stated.
i chuckled "i'm a female inu, a rarity in our breed, Sesshomaru is a powerful inu male whom wishes for a pure un tainted blood line. he is a large risk to my freedom. for i would rather mate for love not duty and certainly not the notoriously ice hearted lord of the west" i explain. Shippo nods as we stop a safe distance away.
"yeah and this dog disguise probably wouldn't fool him like it does the others" he agreed. I was about to reply when i her a loudly scream of a child.
"stay hidden in the den under that tree i'll be back" i say before darting off in the direction of the scream. I see several Snake yokai surrounding a small girl and an imp demon. without thinking a dart through taking out a few of the enemy to get to the girl i lower in front of her. i see her fear and confusion. i huff and pick her up by the back of her kimono and put her on my back and then i pick up the imp before growling at the enemy and running of as quickly at i could. i make it back to shippo and he guides the child and imp into the den at i turn to face the trailing enemy.
I growl as they approach. I fight hard against them. dodging the large number of attacks, letting my teeth sink into there nasty scaled flesh before ripping there throats out as blood sprayed back on me. I growled knowing i could not transform with the lord of the west still so close. I could hear the little girl crying and shippo trying to comfort her. as the last snake yokai falls to the ground covered in gaping wounds and rot from the venom i injected, i feel the lords aura fast approaching.
i growl loudly "shippo come on we need to go, he is coming for the child and imp".
He runs out of the den and hops on my back.
"thank you doggie for saving me" i hear the Child say.
I nod before running off. knowing the Demon lord spotted us just as we left the area.
once we made it back to the clearing i knew we were in trouble. the Demon lords arua and the two we saved were heading back our way.
I growl and bark the warning.
"she says The demon lord spotted her after she saved his ward and the imp from a group of snake yokai, he is coming back, we need to leave now" shippo translated. Kagome paled and all took of full speed. i knew this wasn't going to work. he was to fast and he was flying.
i give a command to shippo.
"she says for everyone to grab on to her" shippos yells out. everyone does and i tele-port us as far away as i could.
"what the hell?!" Inuyasha yelled in shock.
Kagome sighed and looked at me. i just nod.
"Cebba isn't a regular dog, she is a full blooded inuyokai female. she takes the form of a regular dog and hides her scent and aura as to hide from male inuyokai and others who seek to capture her for breeding fodder. since the pure inu are nearly wiped out and females are very very rare. At first she hid in my time but she knew she had to come back since naraku is such a huge threat" Kagome explained.
"so thats way you had her run away when you found out lord Sesshomaru was coming, he isn''t easily fooled and being a very powerful inu male who is obsessed with purity of his blood line, he would pose a very real threat to lady Cebba" Maroku stated. Kagome nods.
"wait so was she th inu woman who help take out that puppet a month ago?" sango asked. again Kagome nods. i see inuyasha frown. "dont worry Cebba, your part of our pack now, we wont let him have you, and as much as i loth to admit it, Sesshomaru honors Pack laws. He isn't allowed to take any female of other pack, without the concent of the Alpha male of that pack or the concent of the female herself" he states.
"but you two are related by blood, doesn't that make you and him pack?" kagome asks.
"no Lady kagome, Sesshomaru had long sense disowned him and Inuyasha Has his own pack now, so they are not pack" Maroku stated.
with that i transformed into my human form. my long black and gold hair falling down my back like a silk curtain. my one Amethyst colored eye and my one Lapis colored eye shone bright in the sun light, my armor secured over my black kimono with blood red Lilies rising from the hem to my thigh.
" I thank you for your help Inuyasha" i say respectfully as i scoop up shippo into my arms and stand my Kagome.
"we will keep tracking us now. he is a dog with a bone when he wants answer, from what i heard" i say with a mocking smile as the other laugh at the joke.
"we will be ready" kagome stated with confidence.
-time skip 1 week-
We were doing rather well at staying out of range of Lord Sesshomaru, but i knew it was inevitable. i knew he would find us soon and chaos would ensue. i could feel he's aura growing closer each day. At least there was some good new, like the jewel being close to complete. we were currently getting ready for bed as i notice a soul collector over head, i knew what that meant since Kagome would often come home crying of it. I watch inuyasha run off and felt the hurt radiating off kagome as the smell of salt water hit my nose. I carefully pull Kagome to me and she rests her head on my lap. i start to sing a song to comfort her.
Rest your head child,
for the pain will ease,
stand strong sister dear,
You are not alone,
I am here,
you will make it through,
Love with find you,
even through your Darkest hour,
Love will find you,
you are not alone,
Love will find you,
so rest now my dear,
I am here,
dry your tears,
Stand strong tonight,
for love will find you,
no matter where you are,
you are not alone,
sleep now,
I am here,
i'll stand guard sister dear,
till your love is here.
the song ended and Kagome was fast asleep. the others watched me shocked.
"i use to sing that song to her when she'd come home crying after each time this happened" i say in a saddened tone. the others had tears in there eyes as they looked down at there heartbroken friend.
