Child of the Demon Sword

Ch. 3

Kagome walked over toward the child in between her and Inuyasha. Inuyasha's eyes couldn't possible get any wider. Kagome bent down next to the child.

"Inuyasha?" She looked over at the hanyou.

Inuyasha blinked and then shook his head. "Yah?" He replied.

"Give me the top of your kimono would you please." She picked up the girl so that she was in a sitting position, and Inuyasha did as he was told. Kagome thanked him for it, and began to dress the child. She ripped of the sleeves of the shirt however, because they were to long for the child's short arms.

After Kagome had dressed the child she picked her up, and cradled her in her arms. Even when Kagome was standing the child's hair dragged across the ground. Kagome sighed and began to carry the child back toward the camp. Inuyasha followed closely after her.

Once back at the camp Kagome set the child down next to the fire. The girl stirred, but did not awaken. Songo and Miroku just watched with questioning glances. The looked at Inuyasha, but he just shrugged for he was just as confused as they were.

Kagome sat down so that the girl could rest her head on her lap. It was then that she looked at the rest of the group. Miroku was the first to ask his questions.

"Who is that?" He stared at the young beauty. The child's hair seemed to sparkle in the light of the fire. Kagome smiled slightly, like the way a mother would smile when talking about her children.

"She's…" Kagome tried to think of something to say. "She's got no name…" her voice trailed off.

Inuyasha looked at her a bit shocked. "What? You mean she--" Inuyasha was instantly hushed when she gave him a dark glare. Songo watched bewildered.

"Where did you find her?" Songo asked.

Once again Kagome smiled down at the child. "She's been with us all along."

"I feel it, it's warm out here. There is golden light blanketing my skin, but for once I'm not afraid. It's new, but I want to know all about it. Do I have to fight it? No, from now on I chose who I fight…"

The child was the first to open her eyes as the sun snuck out from behind the mountains. She focused her eyes on all of the sleeping figures that lay around her. There was smoke rising from a pile of ashes in the middle of them. She recognized two of the figures from the previous night. She looked down at her red onsomble, and smiled.

The girl sleeping next to her was the first she had seen with her new eyes. She picked up her hand and looked at it, then at the face of the girl in black. She shook slightly as she reached out to touch the woman's face. Her eyes widened a bit when she was actually able to feel it under her hand.

She pulled back instantly, and then covered her mouth when she heard herself gasp.

Kagome opened her eyes slowly. She had felt a tickle on her face, and then she saw the young girl sitting up with her hands over her mouth. Kagome smiled and began to sit up, 'the rest of the camp should be waking up soon.'

The girl watched her closely, but Kagome didn't mind. Kagome took the girl's hands and pulled them away from her mouth.

"It's okay…" Kagome comforted. She looked over her shoulder, and saw Inuyasha begin to stir himself awake. She let go of the girl and stood up, "I'll be right back." She smiled once more at the girl, and left the camp to go into the woods.

Shessomaru knew he had seen it. There was a glowing white light that shot up into the sky, and he had been searching all around the woods for it. Jaken and Rin were exhausted, but he didn't really pay much attention to them. His main concern for the moment was to find the source of that light he had seen.

He came upon a clearing, and leaves on the ground showed signs that some one had been there previously. He defiantly could smell his brother's sent around the area, as well as a familiar dead smell of Kikyo.

But along with those two scents he smelled two others he couldn't place.

"Lord Shessomaru!" came Jaken's voice. Shessomaru turned around to look at what was frightening Jaken so. When he did he met eyes with a strange new figure. It was a human dressed in all black, and her hair was pulled up into a high ponytail. It almost dragged the ground, but it still had a few more inches it could grow. She dressed as strangely as that girl his brother used to travel around with. She glared at him.

"Shessomaru…" she hissed out under her breath.

"Human…" he hissed back.

"Leave this place, you are not welcome!" She then turned her back on him and began to walk away. Shessomaru smiled.

"You tell me to leave, and yet you're the one walking away." The girl stopped, but only briefly and then continued to walk away. He recognized her scent. She was defiantly in the clearing the previous night. He decided to follow her.
