Disclaimer- How high would one have to be to actually think that I might
own Inuyasha? It must be very VERY high.
Ch8
Kagome was walking with her two Kitsune friends into a village, obviously uncomfortable with the stares she was getting from villagers. She could tell that they were being watched closely by the people, and it was starting to creep her out.
Her nervousness was not unnoticed by Yoko, who also saw the staring eyes of the village people. He was used to being stared at, since he was the center of attention every time he went into a human village. It never really bothered him, in fact, he felt a certain bit of pride at the thought that the people had stopped their daily routine to watch him. He looked to see how the kit was reacting, and noticed that he was now gripping Kagome's hair tighter than before (he's on her shoulder). 'Might as well get out of here. My companions obviously don't like to be watched. I like the way that sounds. MY COMPANIONS. Yes, it dose have a nice ring to it. I never would have thought that I would have friends like them. I might get used to this. Besides, Kagome's a fun person. So angry one second, and happy the next.'
Kagome had begun to speed up in an unconscious attempt to leave faster, and wasn't surprised when they were stopped by the village miko. Shippou hid himself in her hair, while she tensed a bit. But Yoko looked as calmed, and careless as always. 'Can't he tell that she doesn't look happy? In fact, she looks like she's going to attack.'
"Who are you youkia, and why have ye come to this village?!" The old woman reminded Kagome of Keade by her looks, but their attitudes were completely different. While Keade was a kind, and gentle woman, this village miko seemed cruel and hateful. "Well?" You could tell by her tone of voice, and the fact that she had an arrow notched on her bow, which was pointed in their direction, ready to kill them.
Yoko didn't show any sign of fear, or noticing her presence, for that matter. He just waved his had dismissively, "My companions, and I, are headed in this direction, and your village happened to be the on the shortest rout to our destination. So, if you don't mind my asking, what concern is it of yours that we are walking through here?"
"It is my business to know when demons are terrorizing my village. Now leave, before I loose my patients!" Her voice was bitter, and unwelcoming. Kagome thought it was horrible for a shrine maiden to act such. So cold, and harsh.
"I haven't done anything to your villagers, and neither have my friends. I fail to see the conflict here, would you mind enlightening me?" Yoko was having a hard time not looking amused.
"Your mere presence is a hindrance to things." She glared at them all, and kept her bow ready at all times.
"It is not my fault that they were staring at us. Quit rudely, at that. You should be thankful that they were not killed for their manners, or lack there of." Yes, Yoko was enjoying himself. He always toyed with any mikos that chose to stop him. It was one of the funniest things he could do, with the faces they made, as well as the threats.
Kagome listened as Yoko argued with the woman in front of them, not liking how this situation might end up. It wasn't that she was afraid of what the old woman would do to them, but what Yoko could do to her. She hadn't known him for too long, but she did know that he liked to play around, and did so quit often. She decided that it was best to try and stop any kind of battle from happening, "We weren't doing anything, and had no intentions to, so if you'll kindly let us pass, we can be gone from your home."
The old woman scoffed, "You're worse than the demons! Parading around these filthy creatures, and in the garb of a lowly whore no less!"
'Wrong move.' Yoko thought as he saw the anger that was welling up inside Kagome, just waiting to be let out, 'This should prove more entertaining than I had thought it would be.'
Kagome was pissed. Clear and simple. But, she didn't want any trouble, so she tried to calmly talk her way out of this, and just get out of there before she had to yell at anyone, "I don't think it's right to judge someone before you get to know them in fact-"
Kagome was cut off by the miko, "You're right about one thing, you DON'T think. If so, you would have more sense than to let a foul creature like THAT ride upon your shoulder. OR travel with such a vile beast!"
Yoko smirked, 'Stupid woman. Kagome doesn't seem happy.' Shippou, seeing the danger in this, jumped onto Yoko's shoulder, and hid in the older fox's hair.
(this is going to be slightly OOC) Kagome was now officially pissed off. She took a deep breath, and looked the other 'miko' in the eyes, "Look, bitch, we haven't done ANYTHING wrong, so why don't you just let us pass without any trouble?! Or is it your 'duty' to annoy every living being that decides to wander into your stupid village?! I bet you wonder why youkia attack, well I'll tell you, it's because YOU'RE A STUPID OLD HAG THAT FEELS THE NEED TO JUST STEREOTYPE ANYONE THAT'S NOT JUST LIKE YOU, but then again, WHO WOULD WANT TO BE ANYTHING LIKE YOU!?! You're just as much of a narrow-minded ass-hole as Kikyo!"
The old woman was speechless. She had expected them to cower before her, but not for that slip of a girl to yell at her. And her companions weren't fazed at all. They just watched as the slut (in the old hag's point of view) insulted the person with the weapon. She narrowed her eyes, and raised her bow (she lowered it out of shock) "You shouldn't have done that. Now you will pay!"
Kagome drew Tetseiga with nothing more to say than "Feh."
Yoko smelt something different enter the air, so he sniffed again, 'Wait, I smelt that the other day, when she first got the sword......that's the half-breed's scent. Of coarse! He gave her some of his blood, and it's effecting her!' He saw Kagome narrow her eyes, 'I'd better get her away from here, before she slaughters anything.' Yoko stepped in-between Kagome, and the village miko, "As you might be able to tell, she has had a hard day, and is irritable. If you don't want your entire village, as well as yourself, killed I advise you let us pass peacefully."
She looked from the fox, to the girl behind him, and back to him. After grumbling a bit, she stepped aside, and let them pass.
~*~*~*~
Sango, Miroku, and Kirara were heading back to Keade's village, when Kirara suddenly went in the other direction. Not wanting to loose her companion, Sango fallowed. And Miroku followed Sango, for fear he would never see her again. (god, that sounds stupid, oh well) What they saw shocked them, to say the least. Kagome had Tetseiga drawn (and transformed) at another miko, and it didn't look like either was going to give up. Then, Yoko stepped in front of Kagome, said some things to the older woman, and left with Kagome and Shippou.
They raced over to their friends, and finally caught up with them in a forest clearing. Yoko was looking at them, as though he knew they were coming, while Kagome was trying to calm down a worried Shippou. Miroku walked up to the fox (not Shippou), "Might I inquire what that scene in the village was?"
Yoko looked at Kagome, then back to them, "I'm not too sure, but I think that henyou left something else behind when left."
"Inuyasha left? He didn't go with Kikyo, did he?"
"That seems to be the case. But before he left, he gave her his sword.... And some of his blood. It appears to be having some 'side- effects' on her."
"You mean, she's beginning to act like Inuyasha?"
"I've only seen it happen this once. She didn't appear to change when she went into battle against that guy that wanted the sword. I think she called him SesshouMaru, or something like that."
Sango's eyes widened in shock, "You let her fight SesshouMaru on her own?!"
"It wasn't my battle to fight, besides, there's no better way to train then first hand." Yoko said, an odd bit of pride showing in his voice.
Sango just walked past him, to her friend, "Kagome?"
Kagome stopped trying to explain to Shippou that Inuyasha hadn't possessed her, although she wasn't too sure if that was true, to look at Sango, "Yeah?"
"Why did you pull your sword on a miko?"
"She made fun of my friends."
"That's not a good reason."
"Feh, I don't see why not! It wasn't our fault that village was in that location!" Kagome crossed her arms, in a fashion much like a certain half-breed.
~*~*~*~
A small girl (or something that resembled a small girl) stood in front of her master as he looked through her mirror at the scene taking place far away from them. Naraku smirked to himself, 'So, the henyou is gone, and the girl is taking on some of his traits, eh? Interesting. This just keeps getting more and more fun. Enjoy your peace now, Miko, for it won't last long.' Naraku dismissed Kanna, and summoned Kagura, as he worked out the final details of his plan.
