Chapter Three

-Noriko View-

I put my hand up to stop Kano from killing Inuyasha. I pressed my hand on his chest to signal him that I will deal with the pup.

"I can understand why you feel the way you feel but I will not fight you pup."

I look at Inuyasha in his eyes. I can smell and feel what he's thinking.

He rushed forward eh he's very fast. He jumps in the air yelling 'Kaze no Kizu' I glared at the boy then push Kano into the treeline behind me.

-Inuyasha View-

My eyes widen. WHAT HAVE I DONE! WHY DID I KILL HER BEFORE SHE EXPLAINED! My head was beginning to get light. I stumble backwards landing on the ground but without my Tessaiga. I look at my hands them looked up as the cloud of dirt fade to show the demoness holding the sword blade in her hand. She stared at the blade in the air before placing the hilt in her small left hand. She twist and turn the sword examining the blade then she tested it. The area before took the blow of my attack but behind her the area was untouched. The demon that was with her walked to her side.

"That seems like a good sword. You should keep it."

As soon as the dragon demon suggested that I leaped up to my feet but the demoness raised her hand then flicked it down sending me to the ground hard. Vines shot up from the ground and wrapped around my ankles and wrists. I looked her about to yell but vines shot out and wrapped around my mouth.

"No, Kano I will not keep this. It was a gift from his father to the young pup."

A vein popped up on my head. I'm not a fucking pup!

"What will we do with him?"

I'm really starting to dislike this Kano guy. I looked at the demoness as she looked at the sword then me, I turn my gaze to the ground, and we stayed like this for a while until I heard her waking to towards me. When I looked up she was right in my face and I l glared which only made her laugh.

"Calm down pup. I'm not going to hurt you or take your sword as a trophy either but-"

She started to reach for the my scabbard and I try to shake her off but she got to it. I started to hear the gang approach me and she must have to because she look behind me. I don't want them to run into this demoness but as luck would have it they entered the area.

-Noriko View-

I stood in front of Inuyasha as his friends walked in the clearing and froze. I smiled at the young kitsune that traveled with them than I look down at Inuyasha.

"I will return your sword when you complete the mission I have given you. The village is call Ki no mura the wood village. So please keep this fox until you finished the mission and once it is completed it will come to me and I will bring you the gift your father gave you." I looked at the glared the pup gave me then I looked at his confused friends face until I lift the sword up to show them what was going on.

Kano and I turned and walked away but I heard the Youkai Taijiya rush toward us and sent her Hiraikotsu at us I turn and caught the weapon in my left hand and hurled it back at the young girl hitting her with it sending her flying. The Miko sent an arrow towards me. My eyes widen it was powerful and will do damage to me but the arrow stopped in front of my heart.

I stared down confused at the arrow above my heart and it fell to the ground and I picked it up.

Kano grabbed me and took to the air in his dragon form.

"What happen? I should be dead."

-Kagome View-

I woke up from being shaking. Why was I sleep in the first place?

I was just looking at a field of children before the fog started to cover the kids again making them yawn and fall to sleep and next thing that I saw was darkness.

"Kagome?"

"Mmm Shippo"

I opened my eyes to see Shippo shaking me I sat up pushing the small boy over.

"What happen?" I asked him this as I rubbed my eyes. What the hell really happen?

"I don't know but we should wake Miroku and Sango. I can't find Inuyasha any where."

(-_-) Inuyasha would be the only one to not be around but I got up and went to wake Sango and Miroku.

"What happen?" Sango yawned

"Didn't realized I was that sleep" Miroku stretched

We all looked around to see all the kids were still here but the was soon forgotten once we felt Inuyasha energy.

"KAZE NO KIZU"

We looked towards the village only to be hit by a cloud of dirt. We all started to cough including the children.

"What is that idiot doing?" Miroku yelled as he checked the kids as well as Sango and I.

"I don't know but we should go check on him. He may be in trouble." I say this with worry in my voice because I only could feel Inuyasha energy.

"I agree with Kagome. He only use that attack when he's facing a strong opponent." Sango also was worried because it seem like he was fighting an invisible enemy.

A few minutes later we calmed down all the children and quickly checked them before rushing to Inuyasha.

We entered the village then head to the entrance of it to see Inuyasha bonded on the ground and two demons talking in front of him the demoness looked up at us hiding behind her bangs then showing Inuyasha sword in her hand then she quickly exchanged words with Inuyasha and walked off.

Sango rushed towards the demoness will her Hiraikotsu heading towards the demoness but at the last second she turned and catch it then quickly hurled it back at Sango which sent her falling back several feet.

I quickly sent an arrow towards the demoness. The demoness looked at and I clearly saw her face.

I stared at the face of the demoness that I just shot my arrow at to see the face of Noriko but how is that possible! She's been dead for two years now.

I panicked, what if she wasn't dead but was the demoness in front of me but I already shot the arrow!

I watched at the arrow hurled towards her but it stopped right at her heart for a minute before it fell to the ground. The demoness picked it up and she wasn't burned by it. Then the guy next to her grabbed herald jumped in the air changing into red dragon.

"What just happen?" Miroku

I turned to look at Miroku because I was confused to then I look down at my bow before I look up at Inuyasha who was now sitting up and pulling the vines from around his mouth. I ran over to Inuyasha kneeling beside him and Miroku went to check on Sango.

"Inuyasha! What happen?"

I stared at him only to be answered with silent as he glared at the sky. I stared at him even as the other approach us.

"We have to take the children to the Western land to another Kitsune village."

I stared at him because I knew why we was doing this. The demoness must had made a deal with him.

-Noriko View-

I stared at the sword just remembering when I first saw it. This is the sword that saved my life.

"Mi'lady"

I looked at Kano as he turn his huge dragon head my way and I smiled.

"Don't worry. I'm fine, the pup just popped it out of place so no demand done. His rage is what gave the sword the extra kick to dislocate my arm."

I rubbed his back to give him comfort as we flew back to the men camping at the border between the East and South.

-Inuyasha View-

It's been two days since I last saw the demoness. The village that she sent us two would take us about five days to reach if it was only the gang but with the children with us it would take a week. A villagers from the last village gave us directions being a Kitsune herself. The village is well know in the West and has the best protection. The children know the village very well having family there so a weight was lifted off our shoulders knowing this but I'm still frustrated.

I'm not frustrated about taking the children to the village because I was never going to leave them there even if we finally picked up on Naraku trail but I was just upset about of easily that woman took my sword and how the Tessaiga reacted to her.

"Yu-yu my feet hurt" Mika looked up at me.

Mika is the little red kitsune who was the one that Sango had talked to first. She grew attached to me over the last few days.

"I think it's time for us to rest guys. The kids are getting restless."

I pick up Mika and walked towards Kagome as she tell the other kids that we're stopping.

The older kids set up camp as the younger ones played around the clearing. Mika fell asleep in my arms within seconds.

"Awww she's sleep already?" Kagome approached me moving Mika hair out her face which cause the Kitsune to cuddle into me more.

"Awww look at the happy family."

I blushed as I looked away from Miroku but I can see Kagome red face before she walked away to help make the camp fire. The kids love her and the new weird things that she shows them.

"It seem the children had taken a liken to our girls." Miroku walk up next to me looking at Kagome and Sango who is playing tag with the children.

"It gives us a future insight of what our life will be like once everything is over." I looked at Miroku as he studied Sango and I looked back at Kagome. I felt paws land on my shoulder and I looked at the golden Kitsune that the demoness left with me look at Mika then me and finally Kagome. Lately the little creature has been playing with Mika and the creature for the last few days and this is the first time is came to me.
