I do not own Inuyasha! Only my OC(S)!
I hope everyone is liking this story! I would love to hear what you all think about it!
"You idiots! I told you not to hurt her!" I heard shouting as I laid on something soft.
"Sorry, Koga, but she was shouting and we didn't want the mutt to find us."
"She better not have been hurt badly. She's Kashikoi Kariuki's daughter." Koga said.
"That dog demon who helped fight off the panthers?"
"No, the other Kashikoi!" he shouted, "What am I going to do with you two?"
"I thought his daughter was killed? Along with his wife."
"No, Kashikoi sent them away to another land after sealing their youki."
"She smells like a human and is dressed weird. Maybe it's true."
"Of course it's true. She smells a little like Kashikoi!" Koga said.
He knows what my father smells like? Did he meet him? Does he know where he is?
"Huh? How do you know what he smells like?" one of those two guys asked him.
"When I was a pup. He was searching for his wife and child when he ran into our tribe." Koga said.
"Do you know where he is?" I asked Koga sitting up with a dry mouth.
"Gah! Don't pop up like that!" he told me, "And no. Haven't seen him since, but I remembered his scent."
I frowned and placed a hand on my head. I let out a hiss of pain and removed my hand.
"Sorry about knocking you out." the guy with white greyish hair and big black streak in the middle said, "I'm Ginta and that's Hakkaku."
"Kaori." I told them and then looked at Koga, "Why did you kidnapped me?"
"My wolves are hungry, and they needed food, but seeing you're the daughter of Kashikoi, I can't feed you to them now. I wouldn't want to get on his bad side." Koga said.
"So what now?" I asked him.
"I don't know. You're free to go I guess." he said and I blinked for a moment before standing up.
"Okay, erm, which way did I come from?" I asked him.
He pointed to the west and I began my way hoping to find Kagome and the others. I was such an idiot to leave them like that, but Inuyasha was being a jerk! I don't know my way around here though, and I couldn't fight a demon if I ran into one.
"Urgh! I hate that dog!" I shouted as I dropped to my knees after walking around for an hour and finding nothing.
It felt like I had been walking around in complete circles. My stomach was growing from hunger, and I was dying to have something to drink. I don't even know how long I had been unconcious. It seemed that I had been out for at least a few hours as the sun was going down.
I stood up and began to walk again. I needed to find water or I'll die of dehydration. I could survive at least seven days without food, but not water. I stopped once in a while listening for some sort of sound indicating that a river, spring or pond was close by. What felt like forever I finally heard water being splashed.
I stumbled towards the sound exhausted from the lack of water, food, and energy. I walked through some bushes and paused when I saw a giant two headed lizard, a little girl and a giant frog with a stick that had two heads on it. I blinked for a second, before finally falling to the ground unconcious once again.
I felt something cool and wet on my forehead. I muttered Mama as I began to shiver from the cool air.
"Master Jaken, I think she's waking up!" I heard a little girl said cheerfully.
I blinked my eyes a bit and saw with blurry vision the a little girl and darkness around her, beside a light from a fire pit.
"Hi! I'm Rin!" she said as I blinked them again to clear my vision.
"Kaori." I told her, "Wh-where am I?"
"In our camp silly. We're waiting for Lord Sesshomaru to return." Rin told me.
Sesshomaru? Wasn't that the name of Inuyasha's half-brother or something?
"Where is he?" I asked her.
"Out getting some food for Rin and you." she told me in third person.
"That's very kind of him." I said.
"Lord Sesshomaru would never do that on his own, human." the toad thing said as I sat up taking of the damp cloth from my forehead, "He's only doing it because Rin had begged and bugged him to do it."
"That's Master Jaken. He's a bit grouchy." Rin told me and I nodded my head looking at the toad thing.
"What are you?" I asked him and he seemed insulted by it.
"I am a Imp! You pathetic human!" he said angrily.
"I'm not pathetic! You toad!" I told him, "And I'm not human."
"You're not?" Rin asked looking at me confused.
"Well, I am now, but according to some people I'm some sort of..." I paused when I saw someone walking towards the camp holding something bloody in his hands.
I watched the man, who I suspected to be Sesshomaru, walk into the camp. He looked at Jaken and tossed him two rabbits.
"Take care of those." he told him before walking over to a tree and sitting under it.
"Yes, Lord Sesshomaru!" Jaken said before going to work on the rabbits.
"Are you thirsty, Kaori?" Rin asked me holding up a cup.
"Thank you, Rin." I told her as I took the cup from her.
I drunk the water and I couldn't help, but glance over at the man who was sitting under the tree with his eyes closed. Was he asleep?
"What are you, Kaori?" Rin asked me and I noticed Sesshomaru's eyes opened immideatly looking at me with a suspicious look to them.
That's when I noticed they were golden like mine. Was he a inu-youkai? Of course he was! He's Inuyasha's brother! So that means he might know where my father was!
"I was once a Inu-youkai." I began, "But my father sealed it away to protect me and my mother."
"Impossible. You can't seal someones youki." Jaken said as he placed the rabbits on two sticks.
"Shut it toad and I'm telling the truth!" I snapped at him.
I felt a cool breeze and froze when I saw Sesshomaru in front of me all of a sudden. I gupled as I stared up at him intimidated by his emotionless gaze. How did he get over here so fast?
"Who is your father?" he asked making me stand up.
"K-Kashikoi K-Kariuki." I told him nervously.
"Impossible. His daughter is dead." Sesshomaru said glaring down at me.
"I-I was sent to the future along with my mother." I told him.
"And where is your mother?" he asked me.
"Dead." I told him looking down at the ground and I felt him let go of my arm, "Do you know where he is? My mother told me to find him."
"I do not." he said and I looked up to see that he was walking back to the tree.
I let out a sigh.
"Could you help me then?" I asked him, "Or at least help me get my Youki back? Please."
He stopped and kept facing the tree. After a short pause he said no, and continued towards the tree.
I let out a sigh, sat down and look at the ground as he sat under the tree.
"It's okay, Kaori. I'm sure you will be able to find your father one day." Rin said with a cheerful smile on her face.
Seeing the cheerful, innocent smile on her face, I couldn't help, but smile back at her nodding my head.
"I hope so." I told her.
"Want to play while Master Jaken cooks the rabbits?" Rin asked me and I glanced at the imp glaring at me.
"Of course, Rin. I would love to play with you." I told her as I stood up, "What do you want to play?"
"Mm, how about hide and seek, or a race! Yeah! We could have a race!" Rin said cheerfully.
"I-I don't know about a race." I told her as I still felt tired from hunger, "How about I spy?"
"I spy? What's that?" she asked me confused.
"Well it's an easy game. All you have to do is make your opponent guess what you see." I told her, "Like this. I spy with my little eye something green and you'll guess with something that deals with the word. Like grass, trees, moss, or Jaken."
"Ah, sounds fun!" she said and began to look around, "I spy with my little eye something hard."
I looked around for anything hard. There were trees, rocks, that two headed lizard, was it even hard?
"Is it a rock?" I asked her and shook her head, "Is it a tree?"
"Nope!" she said smiling.
"Is it that lizard?" I asked her pointing at it and she giggled.
"No, that's Ah-un and it's a dragon, silly!" she told me and blushed feeling embarressed as I glanced at the slightly angered dragon.
"Sorry, Ah-un!" I apologized to the creature.
It made a sound and looked away from me. I let out a sigh and looked at Rin.
"I give up, Rin." I told the girl who grinned.
"The ground!" she said and I laughed.
Of course! Why didn't I think of it.
"You're good at this game." I told her, "Now, I spy with my little eye something mean."
"Master Jaken!" she said and I nodded my head.
"Yes, you're correct." I told her and glanced at the Imp.
He was glaring at me as he roasted the rabbits over the fire. I let out a sigh and walked over to the Imp. I should be nicer to him. After all he did fix the rabbits for Rin and me, even though he was told too.
"Sorry for being rude and thank you for fixing the rabbits." I told the Imp as I hugged my knees.
"Hmp." he said turning his nose up at me and bit my bottom lip in anger at him.
"I could take one of those rabbits from you." I told him holding my hand out and controlling my anger.
He handed me the stick and I held it over the fire.
"You should be thanking Lord Sesshomaru for finding you and letting you stay in our camp for the night." Jaken said and I looked over at the Inu Youkai.
He was watching Rin, who was now sitting on a stone watching the night sky.
"Is Rin his daughter?" I asked Jaken as I looked at the liitle Imp.
"Don't be stupid! Lord Sesshomaru would never be so low to have a human as a daughter!" Jaken said and I glared at him.
"All you had to say was no, you stupid toad!" I shouted at him.
"I'm a Imp, not a toad!" Jaken said angrily at me.
"Does it even matter?" I asked him.
"Grr! You're lucky I don't set you on fire, you pathetic human!" he shouted at me.
"Both of you quiet." I heard Sesshomaru say which caused both of us to freeze.
I looked at Sesshomaru and gulped as he looked at us.
"Forgive me, Lord Sesshomaru! The girl is stupid!" Jaken cried and I glared at the Imp.
But I flinched when Sesshomaru kicked him in the face. He may be a jerk, and I didn't like him one bit, but it didn't mean I couldn't feel sorry for the toad, I mean Imp.
"I said be quiet." Sesshomaru said and walked off into the forest.
I let out a sigh and looked at the roasted rabbit. I stood up and blew on it as I walked over to Rin.
"Here Rin." I said and handed her the stick, "Becareful, it might be hot."
"Thank you, Kaori!" Rin said and took a bite into the rabbit.
"You're welcome, Rin." I told her and walked over to Jaken who was sitting up now.
"Here." Jaken muttered holding the rabbit out to me.
I looked at him shocked that he was doing that. I thought he hated me?
"Erm, thank you." I told him taking the rabbit from him.
"Psh." he said crossing his arms and walking away with his stick.
I let out a sigh and bit into the rabbit. I sat in front of the fire in silence eating the rabbit. When I was finished I tossed the bones away and went over to Rin wondering if she knew where my backpack was.
"You mean this thing?" she asked grabbing my pack from next to Ah-un.
"Yes, thank you, Rin!" I told her as I took it from her.
I opened it up and dugged through it for the picture of Mama, to make sure it wasn't damaged. I let out a hiss when my finger met the sharp end of a piece of glass. I pulled it back quickly and sucked on my finger.
"Is everything okay, Kaori?" Rin asked me worriedly.
"Yeah, I'm fine, Rin. I got cut on a piece of glass." I told her as I got on my knees setting my backpack on the ground.
I carefully pulled the items out of it while Rin sat next to me looking at them. I shook my clothes to free them of any shards of glass that may be in them. I found out I had another shirt and a skirt in it, along with my pajamas, and some underwear. I also had my flashlight, extra set of batteries, and a chocolate bar. And then their was my most precious item of all. The photo of my mother.
I picked it up and smiled seeing her face. She was smiling at the camera that I was holding at the time when we went to the park a couple of months ago.
"Who is that?" Rin asked looking at the photo.
"That's my mother." I told her as I lowered the photo down to her.
"She's pretty." Rin said, "You have her eyes."
"I've been told." I told her as I stared at the photo, "But I think it's more of a Inu-youkai thing."
Well look at Inuyasha's eyes, they were golden, so were Sesshomaru's. They were both Inu-youkais. So I guess it really was an Inu-youkai thing.
I stopped looking at the photo when I heard Rin let out a yawn. I looked at her to see that she was sleepy. I put my things back into my pack and stood up.
"So where do you sleep at Rin?" I asked her.
"There." she said pointing by the fire where Jaken was sleeping against a tree hugging his stick.
"Don't you have mats or anything to sleep on?" I asked her.
"No." she told me and I frowned.
Well I always wanted to go camping. I guess this is something like it.
"We should get some sleep. It's getting late." I told her and she nodded her head as she walked over to the fire.
She laid down on the ground and closed her eyes falling a sleep. I laid down and used my backpack as a pillow. I stared at the photo of Mama. I smiled sadly at it.
"I might not be able to find father, Mama." I whispered to the photo, "I don't know what to do. I'm so scared."
I bit my bottom lip to stop the tears to fall. I blinked them away quickly placing Mama's picture next to me with a small rock on it to make sure it won't fly away. I rolled onto my side facing the fire watching it dance, before falling into a dreamless sleep.
