Take me away
Chapter 14
"Kari, Like you."
Kagome smiled and looked up at the cloud filled noon sky. she looked a head of her to see the others. Inuyasha and Kikyo in front followed by Sango, Kohaku and Miroku. Then it was Yusuke, Kuwabara and Kurama; Hiei walked by her side. Sesshomaru left early that morning before they started there journey, he said he had to go back to his lands. He told Kagome to call him when they needed his help and gave a pointed glare to Inuyasha's group. Kagome nodded and hugged Rin and him goodbye. After they left everyone got ready and they started on there way heading north. Kagome was brought out her thoughts when she felt a nudge on her right. She blinked a few times and looked over at Hiei. "Yes?" He nodded ahead of them. Kagome looked forward and saw Inuyasha looking back at her. "Yes?" Inuyasha sighed. "I said have you sensed anything yet?" Kagome shook her head. Inuyasha shook his head. "Your useless." he said turning back to the front. Kagome ignored his comment and looked back to the sky watching the clouds go by.
Soon nighttime came and they had yet to find anything, not even a demon to fight. "Man that was boring." Yusuke mumbled laying down on the grass near the newly built fire. Kuwabara followed suit. "I agree." Kurama smiled and shook his head as he found a spot to claim as his own. He picked a spot under a tree near the fire, just in case it rained. The others quickly picked there spots as well. Inuyasha and Hiei in separate trees, and the others around the fire. Kagome walked up and sat between Yusuke and Miroku. Miroku quickly scooted away. Noticing this Kagome sighed and stood up. "Kagome where are you going?" Yusuke asked not seeing Miroku's reaction moments before. Kagome smiled down at him. "I think I'm going to take a walk before I go to sleep." Yusuke shrugged. "Suit yourself, holler if you need us." Kagome nodded and walked out of camp into the forest. The others sat around talking a bit not really paying attention to where Kagome went, all but Hiei who continued to watch her until she was out of sight.
Kagome stepped over a tree branch as she cam to a clearing with a small lake. Smiling she sat by its side and began taking her shoes off. Dipping her feet in the water she began to relax, though still keeping her senses open for danger. An hour must have passed before Kagome heard a scream. Quickly putting her socks and shoes back on she ran swiftly to the sound. Breaking through the trees into another clearing even farther than she was before from camp, she gasped. Lying on the ground was a small girl getting kicked by a group of older children. "Stop please stop it!" the young girl cried. "Why should we? you don't even deserve to be alive." the first boy said. The young girl just continued to cry and try to block the kicks from her face. "Why don't you just die already! nobody wants you!" said another boy. "Maybe if you weren't forbidden you wouldn't have to get beat every night." A girl said. Kagome watch them with wide eyes as they beat the girl mercilessly. 'Just like Hiei.' Kagome thought before she snapped. "Hey you kids, stop that!" the children stopped and looked at Kagome.
The field was silent except for the sound of the girls cries. "Who are you?" One of the children asked. Kagome, using her demon speed, stood in front of the boy and lifted him off the ground by the front of his shirt. "It doesn't matter. Why are you picking on this girl?" She snapped in his face. "B-because she's forbidden." The boy stuttered. "Really now? so you beat her because she's forbidden?" the boy nodded and smiled a bit thinking she was on his side. Kagome snapped her fangs at him filling him with fear once again. "What if i told you i was forbidden, would you beat me too?" The boy looked even more scared. "Are you?" He whispered. Kagome grinned wickedly and nodded as she dropped the boy. Standing above him with a wicked grin Kagome began to chuckle darkly as he trembled. "I could rip your heart out if i wanted to right now." She said causing the boy to began peeing in his pants. Kagome looked at him disgusted. Turning away from the boy the other two children ran to him and helped him up.
"If i were you I'd leave right now." The children stood still and watched as Kagome walked closer to the girl still shaking on the ground. "I said LEAVE!!" Kagome snarled as she spun around and glared at the children. The kids screamed and ran away calling for there parents. Kagome laughed to herself and turned back to the small girl on the ground. Kagome kneeled by the girl and reached out and placed a hand on her back. The girl flinched and Kagome pulled her hand back immediately. "There gone now you don't have to worry anymore." Kagome called softly. The small girl looked up slowly and looked around the clearing. Her search stopped as her eyes rested on Kagome. Kagome smiled and the girl quickly hid her eyes again. Kagome reached out again and this time she didn't flinch back. "I can help you heal faster if you tell me where you hurt." "Why should i believe you?" came her muffled reply. "Well, i don't know, but what reason would i have to hurt you?" "Because i'm forbidden." The girl whispered. Kagome smiled. "I think that'd be more of a reason for me to help you." "Why?" "Because i'm forbidden too." The girl looked up a bit. "Really?" Kagome nodded. The girl, sensing no lie on her, sat up slowly and looked at her. Kagome looked at the girl and smiled. She had two small black Neko ears atop her head and a black neko tail spiraled with neon yellow. Her hair was a pitch black with a few neon yellow streaks, her eyes were also a neon yellow, though they weren't neko eyes.
Her curious neon eyes looked Kagome over before speaking again. "What kind of demon are you?" Kagome smiled. "I'll tell you if you let me heal you first." The girl nodded slowly and Kagome reached her hands out slowly as to not scare the girl. Placing her hands on her shoulders Kagome closed her eyes and her hands began glowing a light pink. The girl looked down at her arm curiously as her bruises went away. When Kagome was finished she pulled away and smiled at the girl. "Wow, that's cool. so what kind of demon are you?" "I'm a fire and ice demon but i'm also a miko." The girl looked astonished. "Wow, i'm just a Neko and inu demon." Kagome looked surprised. "Really?" The girl nodded. "Where are your parents?" The girl shrugged. "I never had any." Kagome looked sad. "So you live here in this village?" The girl nodded sadly. "Do you like it here?" She shook her head. "Then why do you stay?" "I have no where else to go." The girl looked down sadly as tears began falling from her eyes.
Kagome sat contemplating before she snapped her fingers and stood up suddenly. "I know, you can come with me." The girl looked up shocked. "Really? i could?" Kagome nodded. "I'm traveling with some others because were looking for the pieces of the Chikara no tama." The girl stood up. "O.k. I'll go." she smiled. "Great lets go." Kagome began walking but stopped when the girl wasn't following. Kagome turned around and looked at the girl. "What's wrong?" "My legs still hurt." She said quietly. Kagome turned around and picked her up. Cradling her in her arms Kagome looked down at her. "I never asked you your name." "I'm Kari and i'm six years old." She said cheerfully her eats twitching slightly. "And i'm Kagome, i'm 17." Kari nodded and yawned. "You should go to sleep, I'll wake you when we get there." Kagome said softly as she ducked under a low tree branch. "O.k. goodnight Kagome." Kari closed her neon eyes and snuggled into Kagome's warmth. "Goodnight." She whispered as she stroked her hair.
Kagome walked for two hours before she saw the dimmed fire of the camp. As she walked in camp she saw everyone sleeping. Sango and Miroku snuggled into each other, Kurama against a tree, Kohaku with a transformed Kilala, Kuwabara with a transformed Yoru and Yusuke near them. Hiei slept in a tree. She didn't see Inuyasha or Kikyo but was answered when she heard moaning in the distance. Wrinkling her nose she walked over to a blanket some one set out for her and wrapped Kari in it. Picking her up and going under the tree Hiei was in she lay Kari down and then lay down herself. Kagome soon fell into a blissful sleep.
