You don't deserve Kagome

It has been a week and everyone still thinks I'm still 'deaf' except Kikyou… but I'm pretty sure that Sesshomaru knows also… cause when ever Inuyasha would say something that I normally would have a reply to, I would open my mouth and prepare to say something, but then I remembered that I was pretending still… so I kept quiet… but I'm pretty sure Sesshomaru noticed.

At the moment we are all sitting in a clearing, with all these different flowers… you can probably guess that Rin is having a good time, and if you were to lay down in this grass you would be completely hidden from everyone's views, cause it is so tall, it goes all the way up to my waist, and all that you can see of Rin while she is running is the top of her head bobbing up and down.

Inuyasha is having a hard time of being patient cause the reason we stopped was that Sango and Miroku needed a break, so now he is having a problem of not yelling at them… at first he did yell but when I said that if they collapse from not being able to walk anymore, what would he do then… he didn't have an answer… even though I thought he would have said Kirara could carry them, he didn't… I guess he didn't think of it… but then again Kirara is always flying around and helping… so I think that she deserves a break.

"How is it that Kagome is fine, but here we are, and we are exhausted?" Sango was complaining, I had to bite back a smile

"That's because Kagome knows better than to complain, and just wait it out." Inuyasha replied

"I highly doubt that." Sango mumbled under her breath, though Inuyasha still heard it.

"And why is that?"

"No offense to her, but she is actually kind of lazy." I raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean by that?"

"She kind of just stands there while we do the work, and she just walks and detects and that's about it." My mouth was hanging open; I only don't work because if I accidentally put to much power into it that will raise questions… and I don't want to take the risk.

"You know what, you're right… she just stands there and does nothing… and we don't need her… Kikyou can sense the shards in her place." Inuyasha agreed, and Miroku nodded his head in agreement… ma,n I couldn't believe it, my so called 'friends' were actually talking bad about me, I noticed that Kikyou's hands were clenched, and she was about to yell at them, when she was interrupted by a menacing growl, I turned my head to the right where I heard it, as did everyone else, and what we saw shocked us to no end… it was Shippou.

The winds were picking up around him, and his eyes were crimson red, and you could hardly see the pupil, his claws were getting longer, and his fangs were longer too, it was amazing… I have never seen a demon child actually transform… it has rarely happened, and it is supposedly only supposed to happen when you're either 18 or older, to have your demon take over you at such a young age is incredible.

Although it is amazing, it is extremely dangerous, if he doesn't calm down, and he actually transform, then not only will Sango die cause she is the one that said it… but Miroku and Inuyasha would die also, cause they agreed, and Inuyasha actually wouldn't even be able to defend himself, cause if you're demon actually takes over you cause you were angry, it is extremely hard to actually live through it… even if Shippou is just a child.

It looked like he was on the brink of transformation, so I hurried over to Shippou, and hugged him, and started saying comforting things to him, he was calming down, and was no longer changing, but you could feel that his aura read 'death', and that you really should not mess with him at the moment. I let go of him.

"Are you alright Shippou?" He nodded as I hugged him again, and then went back over to the spot I was at before, and sat down. And then Inuyasha spoke up.

"What the heck just happened?" Oh, I guess that only me and Sesshomaru know what just happened, cause I know that everyone else is clueless, but I figured that at least Inuyasha knew. I didn't speak up, cause then that would blow my cover… but Sesshomaru spoke up instead.

"He was about to transform."

"What do you mean 'transform'?"

"What I mean, is his demon just about took control, it is rare for it to happen to a child. Because it is so strong sometimes it may kill the child. So most of the time, it only happens, when the demon is 18 or older, in demon years. I have only heard of this happening I have never seen it."

"Well, you said that it would kill the child… then why is he still alive?"

"I said that the demon is so strong, that it normally kills the kid… not that it happens all the time… the only way that a child could end up still alive, is if the child is just as strong or stronger than his or her demon… it just means that this child is either just as strong, or stronger than his demon, and that's saying something, considering that your demon is exceptionally powerful even from birth, its about as powerful as a normal grown powerful demon."

"You also said that it normally happens when someone is 18 or older, how is it that it happens to children." Miroku spoke up

"It sometimes happens to children when they are consumed with sadness, anger, protectiveness, or fear, but considering the kit was angry, and fearing that his 'mother' would leave, he was sad, and he was protective of her, over what you guys had said about her. And since he was feeling all of those at once, that just meant that you guys were sure to die… if they change just cause one feeling consumed them… you would have a 5 out of 95 percent chance of living… but since he was feeling all of them, you all would have died, regardless of the fact that he is a child."

"You make it sound as if you can't calm him down until he kills the person that did something wrong?"

"That's because you can't." Miroku was about to say something but Sesshomaru cut him off "However, it is weird that this miko was actually able to do so… no one has ever been able to do that, even if it was the one that the kit was trying to defend. And now that the kit has practically transformed already, he can do it on his own will now… he just needs to learn how to stay in control while doing so, cause letting your demon control your body, would be extremely dangerous."

"Oh." Miroku, Sango, Inuyasha, and Kikyou all said at once. And finally Shippou spoke up.

"You guys don't deserve Kagome." He said while glaring at Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha.

"What do you mean 'you don't deserve Kagome'?" Inuyasha was confused.

"I mean what I said, you don't deserve her caring nature… no matter how many times you have hurt her feelings, and insulted her and what not… she always forgave you, and always tried to protect you, and when you guys were injured she would tend to your wounds… and when you were in you're demon form and was out of control, she put herself in harms way, and risked getting hurt by you, just so that you wouldn't try to hurt any one else. And without her you wouldn't even have all the jewel shards you have now, and if it weren't for her on some occasions you guys would be dead, and she never asked for a thank you, or any gratitude… so like I said… you don't deserve Kagome." They all looked like they were thinking about what he said, but then just shrugged their shoulders like they could care less about everything that I had done for them… but its okay, I don't need their acceptance, and in my peripheral vision I saw Sesshomaru shake his head.

"It's okay Shippou, I don't need their acceptance." Everyone gasped except Kikyou and Sesshomaru, and they faced me.

"Y-you could hear us?" Sango looked nervous, and slightly scared.

"I have heard everything… my hearing had been healed about 5 minutes after I lost it." Everyone was shocked except Kikyou; though you could hardly see it, Sesshomaru was too.

"What!!? Why didn't you tell us?!" Inuyasha screamed at me, and I just smirked.

"It has its advantages… as I'm sure you are aware of… considering I just found out something I hadn't known." Sango looked like she had just been caught trying to get a cookie from the cookie jar, and she tried to make an excuse.

"Well, Kagome, I uh… well I-Inuyasha always c-complains about you so I j-just thought I-I would f-follow his example, and not have him y-yell and g-get into a fight a-about how I a-am wrong." I laughed.

"Sango… there is no excuse… and by the way, you are a terrible liar." I laughed "But Inuyasha, like you said, lets leave." He looked hesitant but then he nodded.

Then we all set out on our way again.
