A/n- Here's a new character! Finally I know. RR
Disclaimer- I do not own Inuyasha. I do own Mika and Akiko"
"This is Mika." Shippo gestured towards the young dog demon. "And Inuyasha, her father and an old friend of mine."
"Oh so you're that half demon that was pinned to a tree." Inuyasha's eye twitched.
"So everyone knew and no one went for help? Figures. Come on Akiko climb on. You need some treatment for those wounds. Shippo jump on Mika we have to find the others fast." Shippo did as he was told and both demons started off. Inuyasha was sniffing the air as they went along. Miroku, Sango, and Kagome were starting to get worried. Kirara suddenly reacted to Akiko's scent.
"Kirara what's the matter?"
"I sense a jewel shard coming this way." There was a rustle in the bushes, which jumped Kagome, and she fired a sacred arrow just missing Inuyasha and Akiko.
"Would you watch where you're pointing that thing? Inuyasha stepped out of the bushes.
"Sorry. Who's your demon friend?" Kagome looked at Akiko.
"Just a friend of Shippo's. She's hurt really bad." Inuyasha walked over to Kagome and sat Akiko down by her side. Kagome looked her over. She had a long gash down her right leg and several wounds on her left. She also had two deep scratches down her right arm.
"Wow looks like you're hurt really bad. Let me help you." Kagome wiped up some of the blood off of Akiko's legs with some towels she had brought. She started to wrap the wounds up in bandages. "Oh looks like you have a jewel shard, in your back" Akiko blushed and Sango looked up.
"Don't touch it." Akiko backed away.
"Why not?" Kagome questioned.
"It's her lifeline. If it's removed she'll die" Sango seemed distant. Akiko looked on in confusion.
"How did you know? I never even told Shippo."
"M-my brother, Kohaku. He is under Naraku's control. He has a shard in his back." You could tell Sango was in pain. Akiko looked on with sympathy.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to upset you." Akiko came back closer to the group. Sango looked down.
"Thanks, it's ok." They were all stuck in silence for a while. Miroku broke it. Sango blushed. Miroku was sticking his hand in an unwanted spot on Sango. Slap Miroku never learns. He scooted back to his spot with a red hand mark on his face. They all looked at Miroku, Inuyasha, Kagome, Shippo, and Sango in annoyance and Mika and Akiko with wierded out expressions on their faces.
"So, what now? Are we going after this Kikyo person?" Mika looked bored.
"First we need to train you and get a sword from Totosai. I don't know how you will react to having your life in danger. There is nothing we can do at this point if you transform. So I guess we are going to the old man now. We can train you on the way." They all got up.
"But what about all the people here. They are still under attack. We have to help." Kagome liked being back.
"Right, Akiko, you, Sango, Kirara, Miroku, and Kagome stay here. Mika come on, I want to start your training now." Inuyasha started to get up.
"Hey wait a minute. I want to help. You know I haven't been here in a while." Kagome wanted to get used to the feudal era again.
"Whatever, but it's your funeral. Come on. Kagome, hop on."
"Kay." They all went off in the direction Inuyasha said most of the blood was. Mika smelled it to. Hundreds of demons had been killed in battle. There were mostly wolf and lynx demons, but scattered among them were other kinds like fox demons, cat demons, and even humans. "Wow. What happened here? Is anyone left alive?"
"Doesn't look like it. Everyone who did survive has probably left. Let's go back. There's nothing we can do at this point." When they were starting to turn around Mika stopped and stared into the trees.
"Don't move! There's something out there. I can sense it.
