Chapter 7.
A mysterious encounter.
Sango looked at Kagome as she laid on the bed. Her wounds had stopped hurting but they still throbbed slightly sometimes. "You wanna go by the lake now?" she asked with a soft smile.
Kagome nodded. "Ok Sango...but..can you helps me out there?" she whispered looking up at the slightly older child. She tried to sit up by herself but her wounds pulled and forced her back down.
Sango gently lifted Kagome's upper body up and saw her mother's hands come around Kagome and just pick her up. "Come on Sango..I'll go outside with you two and supervise." she said with a smile. "Plus...I want to show you how to make flower crowns and bracelets!" Shya said.
Walking outside, Lady Shya laid Kagome down in a field of flowers that was right next to a lake. She had begged her mate to stretch out the castle walls to include the large lake and field of wild flowers. Reds, blues, yellows, whites, and green were the main colors of this field. Some of the flowers grew taller than others and small scatterings of trees filled in the area making it complete and the playground of the castles children. Other children, the ones of the servants of the castle, could already be seen in the lake. Everyone was like family here. Slaves, servants, and nobles were all treated the same.
"Hun, you can go swimming if you want to. I want to talk to Kagome for a bit." she said with a smile.
Sango immediately stripped of her clothing and gave her concealing necklace to her mother before jumping in the lake. (Yes, boys and girls are nude. They are children.). She swam out to the other kids and started to have a splashing contest.
Shya just laughed as she cradled Kagome to her. "Loveling, do you know what kind of half-demon you are?" she asked with a kind smile. Reaching up she gently started to pet her ears giggling to herself at how soft they are.
Kagome closed her eyes and purred softly. "Hm..no. I just know that I'm some kind of dog demon..and that I'm supposed to be royalty." she whispered. "All I remember is that I was taken from my mother when I was a babe and turned into a slave. I remember voices...and a large dog demon coming after me but...getting chased back. It...was female..but..I don't understand how I can have a mommy and they have a female mate." she said burying her head into Shya's chest.
Shya looked at her with a smile. "Your ears are so kawaii." she said with a smile. "I got a proposition...um..deal for you." she said thinking Kagome might not know what the bigger word meant. "If you let me touch your ears when I want and take care of Sango for me, then I'll help you figure out who your family was. I have a pretty good idea who." she said with a smile...
In the forest clearing a pure black dog sat speaking to a woman with silver markings on her cheeks and bright silver eyes. "What news have you gotten of my daughter Kero." she said desperately. "Please..please tell me you have some information on her." The female demon's tail was tucked between her legs as she whimpered at the pure black dog. The dog transformed into a female half-demon.
The female smiled a fangy smile and nodded. "Yes I do have information on the young one. She was just recently sold to a good friend of ours. You know..The Lady of the South, Lady Shya, her daughter bought the young child and is now treating her wounds. They were speaking of finding out of she was one our villages children so she could ask to marry off her to Lady Shya's daughter, Sango. Do you want to meet with them or just take your daughter back?" Kero asked the lead Demon.
The demon sighed and nodded. "I shall meet with Lady Shy and my daughter myself." she said turning around. "I need to go tell my mate of this. Please..will you go inform them of this now?" she asked looking at Kero and noticed that she had already transformed and was taking off. Smiling she headed back to her hut and laid down next to her mate as she slept. Gently she nudged her awake. "My mate...it is time to wake for a bit. I have news of our daughter..." she whispered which caused her human mate to awaken with a loud. "WHAT?!"
(Southern Castle)
Kagome looked up at Shya with her mouth wide open. "R..really? All I have to do is...do what I was bought for..and let you pet my ears? Which feels good." she said with a blush as she closed her eyes again and rested again the warm larger body.
Shya just laughed and nodded. "Yes dear..that's all you have to do." she whispered softly. Settling Kagome in her lap so that she wouldn't fall over she started to pick some of the flowers and make a small crown out of them and settled them over Kagome's ears. "There..now you're a Princess."
Kagome smiled and tried to make one as well. She got tired of trying to do it right so she just tied knots in the stems to make the crown and gave it to Lady Shya. "Here..me make you one too. And Sango." she said with a smile holding up a even more beautiful one than Lady Shya had on her head.
As they were laughing Sango came up and laid beside her mother panting as she dripped water off her ears and tail. "That..was..so much..fun." she said with a smile as she closed her eyes for a nap.
Kagome looked up at the sky as she watched the sun start to fall and the sky begin to change colors from blue to white, to pink to orange and red mixing and fading to a deep purple. That's when the scent of dog demon hit her nose. "Demon...demon come.." she whispered out just a black blur came streaking across the field of flowers.
Shya stood up and pulled a small fan from her waist and flipped it open so that a blade could be seen on the fan edges. "What do you want?" she called out to it.
Slowly she watched it transform into a beautiful young girl with pure black hair, a single green stripe on her cheek and green eyes. Black armor with a silver paw print over the heart adorned her body as a light green pants completed it. "I'm Kero..and I am here to talk with Lady Shy, Lady Sango, and the Princess...Kagome of the Southern Dog Tribe.." she said with a smile.
