Chapter 11 Don't Bow Down

The following morning Kagome woke up and went to go hunting. She had taken responsibility for the village and planned to return the kindness she received from their decedents in Inuyashas' time.

The meat she handed out yesterday had gone down a storm, but barley gave everyone a mouthful. She originally had Renia hand it out, she feared the villagers would discard the meat if a demon caught it. Her fear was unwarranted when she found out Renia had announced who caught the deer. The whole village bowed, she was surprised no one argued she had been to many villages but there usually was one person that didn't want a demon in their midst.

It was the same this morning. When she left the hut she was met again by almost all the village bowing. Kagome became uncomfortable and decided to say " please don't bow to me I am not worthy. I simply wouldn't wish harm on anyone." One of the men stepped forward and said "You have protected us from a demon who would have killed us all and you have taken our miko and plan to help her train. Which itself causes you to risk your own life. You also healed one of our children and fed the whole village. You must have been sent by the kami for us. So a simple bow is bit the little we can offer in thanks " Kagomes widened and see gave a week laugh and rubbed the back of her neck. "I'm flattered but bowing is too much I'm used to trouble so it almost an instincts." "Either way we are thankful such a beautiful lady as your self has chosen to join our village" The boy from yesterday with the scar said as he stepped forward. A red tint stained his cheeks. Egger to avert the attention from her self she asked" you are the boy from yesterday I don't think I know your name? I must say you are very skilled to be able to sneak up on a demon and hit her with an arrow" the boy turned bright red and said whilst looking at the dirt at his feet" My name is Yori my lady and I am sorry for yesterday" Kagome gave a lazy wave of her hand to dismiss the apology "You were only protecting your village be proud you hit me" Kagome placed a hand on his shoulder to get him to look at her "I'm just out to see what I can catch would you care to join me I'm sure Renia would love for you to join us" came her bright reply. Yori nodded eagerly and ran off to get his bow. She had seen Renia glancing at the boy and the jealous look that washed over her face when he complimented her. She knew what it was like to be overlooked. Besides he looked a little young for her, as she pondered the thought she realized that she could never have a human mate as they would age and die before her. It saddened Kagome to think she would watch people die around her. If she ever met Sango and Miroku again she would have to watch them die. It was with the thoughts of Sango that she realized she hadn't seen Kirara around recently. Actually she hasn't seen her since her run in with the dragon.

She started to worry but remembered Kirara often went off on her own to catch food and might be keeping out of the villagers way.

She decided to ask Shippo. He and Kirara always played together. Looking around at the dispersing villagers and spotted Shippo looking at a group of children who were playing together. He was holding back, hiding himself behind the edge of one of the huts. Walking up behind him she bent down and quetly said "why don't you go play I'm sure they'd love your magic" Shippo had jumped slightly in shock at the voice, but smiled when he saw his mother." I don't think they'd want me mama I'm a demon. They hated you when you came why would they like me?" Shippos pout caused Kagome to give a light smile. She picked up her pup and gave him a hug these are children, they won't have learnt yet that demons are evil. They will be conditioned into it when they grow. But you can show them not all Demonds are evil." The little kit gave a smile and a nod " Oh that reminds me have you seen Kirara anywhere?" Shippo thought for a moment "No, not since we jumped down the well. She did make it though the well didn't she?" Kagome looked at her pups worried face and gave him another little hug " She made it through. But I haven't seen her since, just before you were kicked. I hope nothings happens to her." This time it was Shippo comforting his mother. "I'm sure she's around she can look after herself. But why not go spy on that arm if your really worried. Your amazing with your new demon powers." With that he turned and jumped out of her arms, headed for the village children. She watched him for a moment as he approached the children hesitantly. When they saw him they all instantly smiled and swamped him. His smile reached from ear to ear as he started to perform some of his magic.

She headed off to the east of the village where Renia and Yori would be waiting she didn't want to rush, it would allow Renia time to talk to Yori and maybe start a relationship.

She came over the brow of the hill and smiled at the sight of the two teenagers talking and laughing to one another. Suddenly the spell was Brocken when Yori noticed her. Her smile became false as the boy ran to her. She could see over his shoulder Renia fuming so much Kagome could almost see steam coming out her ears. "Right guys you to go south east and see if you could find any meat for the village. Renia if you see any berries pick them" Kagome almost laughed as the pair seemed to instantaneously switch emotion. Yoris' face dropped and Rania's bounced up into a smile. " But I thought we would be hunting together" came Yoris' glum exclamation. Kagome grimaced at his voice so tried to explain her reason " I will likely run for a while before I find a trail, so it's best if you stay with Renia" She smiled and took a step towards him both he and Renia went rigid as she leant towards him. She whisper "I need you to protect Renia and maybe give a few pointers on her bow skills. Can you do that for me?" He nodded eyes wide "Great!" She said loudly jumping back clapping her hands together. Renia gave a sigh when the inu miko winked at her and her a teasing look. Renia blushed at Kagomes face and started to walk off into the woods after Yori.
