Chapter 36: Hiroko Kidnapped by Koga the Wolf Demon/The Sisters' Secrets/Madoka's Confession (Man this is a long title)
...Village, Hiroko's Point of View...
"How dare you,"Koga said. I looked to see how many jewel shards he had. One in his right arm (so he'll probably use that one to fight with) and one in each leg, which would explain the tornado.
"InuYasha he-"
"So you're the one controlling this blood thirsty pack!" InuYasha interrupted me.
Koga crossed his arms over his chest. "Hmp. Like you're the executioner? Damn you for mudering my underlings. You'll pay dearly."
"Yeah well what's with them eating all o' these villagers then? You all reek of human blood."
"They just needed to eat. Though it's wrong in our eyes, I still understand that thats just their way of living InuYasha," I said. I put my arm on his shoulder so he would look at me.
"Well, yeah I get that it's just...well, I see your point," InuYasha said.
"Understanding. I like that. Good thing you got a girl like that Muttface,"Koga sneered. "Oh wait that would be an insult to canines, you smell much worse!"
"Really now? How 'bout I fix that problem by slicin' off your nose and stabbin' some air into your belly?" InuYasha jumped up and swung down on Koga but he was too fast and dodged him.
"InuYasha look out! He has jewel shards! One in his right arm and one in each leg!"
She can tell? Koga thought. Okay why is it that I can only pick up certain thoughts here?
"So that's how you're so powerful. You're cheating!"
"Well ya gotta know how to use power first Muttface!"
"Shut up albino runt!"
"You oughta be put down for rabies!"
"They are certainly matched in foul behavior,"Miroku said.
"He's a Wolf Demon," I said.
"Have you encountered those before Hiroko?" Miroku asked.
"He has pointed ear, fangs and a wolf tail. It's not that hard," I said, pointing to said demon.
"Grr..."
"They're closing in from all sides!" Shippo clung to my shoulder.
"Kirara!" Sango said. Kirara knew Sango and transformed into her larger form and yowled at the wolves. (Is that spelled right?) They all ran away and Shippo realeased his hold on me and got on Kirara saying, "They ran off with their tails between their legs!"
Now it's just up to InuYasha,I thought.
Seconds later Koga retreated with his wolves. (Still don't know if I'm spelling that right.)
"InuYasha. Were you about to use the Tetsusaiga in battle with Koga a moment ago?" Miroku asked him. InuYasha transformed Tetsusaiga back.
"Yeah." He put Tetsusaia back in it's hilt. "But the coward up and ran away. The guy was all talk and no action."
"Makes me wonder," Miroku said.
"What do you mean?" Aneko asked.
"I think that Koga sensed the power of Tetsusaiga before it could hit him. That's why he ran away, because he knew it was too dangerous."
"If that's the case then its not jsut brute strenght we're up against," Sango said.
...Sunset...
Shippo and I were outside getting some firewood.
"Hey Shippo. Have you ever heard of Koga?" I asked him.
Shippo jumped down from the log pile after he got the last log he cold carry.
"Nope. But I do know that the Wolf Demon tribes take residence in caves in mountains." he shrugged and said, "That's mostly it."
"Well at least that's something," I said. Shippo and I walked through the entrance to the hut.
"We brought more firewood!" Shippo chirped.
"Thanks guys,"Sango said. I set my part of firewood by the fire and went over to Sukura and sat down by her.
"Hey Sukura," I said. "I need to ask you something."
"Yeah?"
"When InuYasha and Sesshomaru were fighting two days ago I picked up on his thoughts. He said-or though more precisely-that Madoka's eyes were demonic eyes. That she was half-demon."
"Uhh.. Well..look.."Sukura was stammering. Then she sighed. "Okay it's true. My and Madoka's mother is human and our father was Demon."
"Wait did you say was?" I said.
"Yes. He dies when Madoka and I were eleven." She started rubbing her arm.
"I didn't mean to bring up bad meemories. But if it helps Aneko and I never really knew out dad either. He didn't die. He just...went missing for ten years now." I hate to lie to her or any of my friends but I can't say it right now.
"It's okay. At least we're kinda on the same page here." She quit rubbing her arm and looked back up to me. "And why InuYasha doesn't know is because our mother concealed our demonic scents and auras."
"Says why I couldn't sense your's or Madoka's."
"Yeah. But how did Sesshomaru know?"
"That's a good question. Well, I think we should just east, sleep, and find out tomorrow." I helped her up.
"Sure. 'Sides I'm starving." I had to do this, I mean I had to.
"Really? You're starving? There are children in Africa dying almost everyday and you say that you are starving? Really?"
"Umm..I..." I laughed.
"I'm kidding. My mom would do that to me or Aneko whenever we said that we were starving."
"O-oh. Okay. No offense but your mom has a weird sense of humor."
"It's alright. She did stuff like that alot. That's where Aneko gets her personality."
We both laughed at that.
...Mountains, Koga's Point of View...
That girl he met. The pretty one with the really long hair.
She can sense the jewel shards. I can put her skills to very good use.
...Hioko's Point of View...
I felt a shiver crawl up my neck.
What did Koga say?
"Alright I picked up their scent. I lead us straight to them, no problem." He sniffed some more. "Cocky bastard, calling me a Mutt." He sniffed around some more.
"I don't blame him for being mad at being called a mongrel, but when he sniffs around like that, he sure looks like one."
InuYasha turned to us and yelled, "I heard that!"
"If he can hear that from over here then he's a freakin' bloodhound! Talk about canine power!" Aneko yelled the last few words louder than the others.
"Canines are carnivorous! Remember that you runts!"
"Guys I sense other demons,"Sukura said.
"The Wolves?" I asked.
We heard barking and looked up. The wolves with Koga yesterday came down from the side of the mountain and punced InuYasha.
"InuYasha!" I tried to reach for his hand before he fell completely off with those wolves but someone held me back.
"Heh." That was Koga.
"Hey! You let my sister-" Aneko punched one of the wolves coming at her. Sango and Miroku and Sukura had to beat off others too.
"Guys!" I tried to get out of Koga's grip. But all efforts were in vain.
"Now your mine!" I could barely hear the others screaming my name as Koga carried me and Shippo off.
"Aah!" That's all I said besides when Koga told me to stop I yelled,"I'll scream if I freaking want to!"
...Lair...
"Here! Have an appetizer!" Koga threw Shippo to his wolves.
"Ah! Mommy! Mommy, help me!"
I sent one of my aura spheres into the space between Shippo and those wolves. The things ran with their tails between their legs. Then Shippo jumped into my arms and held onto me tightly while saying,"Mama!" a couple of times.
"You-you're his mother?" Koga gave me one of really confused looks.
"Yes I'm his mother, what of it? And also, if anyone lays one hand or paw on my son. Heads will roll. Along with me kicking and purying your butts 'til Hell won't have it again!" My eyes were glowing sort of purplish-blue along with the rest of my aura around me. I saw everyone in the cave back off.
"Quickly! We have injured!" They carried in two Wolf Demons brutally injured. One of them holding some large feathers. The Birds of Paradise that Koga and I saw earlier.
"Out of the way!" I pushed the other Wolves aside and held one of the Wolf Demon's hands with both of mine. "You'll be fine. It'll just take a moment." I sent a prayer for him to heal. Truthfully I thought of the Healing Incantation from that movie Tangled. I don't like singing it in front of others, but these injuries are too serious.
"Flower gleam and glow."
"Let your power shine."
"Make the clock reverse. Bring back what once was mine."
"Heal what has been hurt, change the Fates' design."
"Save what has been lost."
"Bring back what once was mine. What once was mine."
When I was done and once the glow subsided the Wolf was asleep, healed completely. I did the same with the other Wolf Demon. Once I was done all the Wolves were looking at me.
"What? Is there something on my face?" All their mouths were still hanging open.
"A-amazing,"I heard Koga say.
Shippo jumped onto my shoulder.
"Yep! My mama is the best healer and singer ever!" He hugged me and I hugged him back.
...Koga's Point of View (While Hiroko was still singing)...
This girl. She ran to save his people the second she heard they were hurt. Even though his men wanted to eat her and her son, not to mention Koga had kidnapped her.
She's the one. The only one for me.
...Hiroko's Point of View...
I was finally able to get Koga to tell me about those Birds of Paradise and what they do to the Wolves.
"Those scuzzballs!" I would've said worse but then there would've been too many bleeps in here you guys would've been annoyed. I stood up and dragged Koga up with me. "Then lets go get those birds of Paradise. I'll get the one with the shard and your clan can be alright from now on."
"But you don't even know any of them," Koga said.
"Do I look like I give a (bleep)? You and your people are important to me. I care about everyone I meet, no matter what race." (Okay I just sounded like Martin Luther King Jr. Ilove you dude!)
...Koga's Point of View...
She wants to help? She cares for everyone is what she said.
I think I might've just fallen for this girl.
...Hiroko's Point of View...
"Don't pick 'em if ya can't eat 'em!" The slver-haired Wolf Demon who said that threw one of Shippo's mushrooms at one of their wolves. The one that got hit whimpred and the others backed away. I stomped up to him and slapped him hard enough to leave burn mark because of my powers.
"That was for hitting that poor wolf! Don't you think you could show them some praise for finding food? They found food, if you don't like it then teach them to find good food then!" I bent down to the wolf that got hit with the mushroom and pet his nose and began to scratch behind his ears. He leaned into my touch. I looked at all the others. "Aren all you guys tired of doing things for those mean men?" They nodded.
"Excuse me?" Koga said. I turned my nose up in the air at him.
"Nobody appreciates you babies do they?" They shook their heads no. "Do they?" They all cuddled up to me and I pet all of their furry heads. "Such pretty puppies!" They let me scratch their bellies too.
"Why don't they obey us like that?" one of the Wolves said.
"'Cuse you're all big stupid-faces!" I stuck my tounge out at them and the Wolves growled at them lightly too. "That's my Wolves!"
Author's Note: Review please! And once again I thank sangothegreatdemnslayer, her sister kagomethebeautifulmiko and their mother kagome the beautiful's mother for giving me the idea of when we find out the sisters' secret. I just changed it up again. But seriously you guys are so awesome that I am tempted to realease what I'm gonna do with Kagome later on in the series. Anyway the song Healing Incantation, and the scene where Hiroko is talking to the wolves is from the movie Tangled. I own nothing. Though I wish I could. Oh well, we need more Disney Princess movies. (Hey I'm 15 and I wanna be a princess still.)
