Okushiri sat up. She was lying in a hut, bright, due to the fire at witch Kaede sat, stirring a pot. "Eh, child, do ye feel well enough to eat?" Okushiri smiled and nodded blindly. then I must not be dead. Otherwise I would be with Okaasan. the young kitsune Shippo bounded in on his fox like feet. He introduced himself cheerfully and wished for her to be on her feet soon. He, like Miroku, had been stunned by her fair face, elegant and pretty enough to rival nearly all of the beautiful female suiters/enemies in Rumiko Takahaski's empire of wonder fullness. But, she was (or so it seemed) 11.
Kagome was gathering herbs and wildflowers with the village children. Sango and Miroku were off on exterminations. Inuyasha was upon the roof of Kaede's hut. After eating a hearty meal, Okushiri stood up, not placing too much weight on her right leg. She walked outside and gazed out into the distance.
Inuyasha was keeping a close eye on the younger hanyo, from above. Okushiri seemed too have some pain in her chest and leg. Despite this, she strode into the meadow where Kagome was, her black hair whipping across her face As she directed the children. Many whispered, and stepped aside from the bird demon. Kagome's face was lit with a smile until she saw Okushiri's condition. Blood was oozing down her side and her face was far paler than before, and her leg seemed to be much worse.
" Okushiri! You should be resting, or at least let me or Kaede replace your bandages." Kagome seemed to stiffen, as Inuyasha noticed from afar, and he became slightly tense, ready for action. Okushiri muttered something that was in audible at this distance, but Kagome frowned. He leaped off a landed next to Kagome. Okushiri had a face very much similar to that of Kanna's. Inuyasha stared intently at her and she stared back.
Then, with an air of grace, she leaped up to the sky. The children gasped and Inuyasha leaped after her. Then, he saw large feather, like Kagura's. what was this Girl? Okushiri gasped in pain as she steadied herself upon the feather. She needed to leave. Or maybe... the feather sank lower. Inuyasha stood on the ground ready to draw his sword. The feather disappeared in a flash Okushiri tumbled to the ground. Kagome ran to her side. She sat up. Inuyasha to ran over, and snarled, "what the fuck do you think your doing. You'd better start talking!" "Inuyasha sit boy! Now Okushiri, please tell us your problem." Okushiri frowned. "I am... Actually almost dead... When my mother died, I almost died of grief. I met another girl whith a similar predicament, and we turned into one person. But to keep our souls in stable condition, so I must find more demons. But this could actually kill us if one person turns on us."
Kagome thought for a while and Inuyasha pulled his face from the ground. the smell of Okushiri's blood was over whelming, and it had the scent of death, and poison. He frowned. Someone was at the edge of the forest. The children ran home, the figure was that of a humanoid demon. A wolf. Okushiri limped to the figure while Inuyasha drew Tetsusaiga. Okushiri walked pas the demon, and to their suprize faded away.
The wolf demon had dark green hair in two pig tails. (Think princess Karuma from Urusei Yatsura.) she, like most wolf demons wore fur pelts. Hers were tawny brown. She pointed at the half demon. "Inuyasha! Koga wishes for your deabrine has appointed a duel in the wolf clan territory. If you agree, then follow." With that she leaped towards the forest. Inuyasha and Kagome followed.
