CHAPTER FIVE
"Who-who are you?" Kagome squeaked.
"Ha ha ha. Did you see those two run, Kagome? Ha ha ha!" The voice said from a different direction.
"How do you know my name? I-I-I mean that's not my
name." Kagome said slightly stunned.
"What do you mean? Oh. Oh never mind. Of course you'd want to hide your true name from Inu-Yasha, but may I suggest new clothes? That way he would never know that you're you. What are you calling yourself then?" The voice spoke once again, yet very close this time.
"Oh! I know that voice. Myoga! How'd you know?" Kagome said finally understanding.
"Kaede said you would not be left behind. She, apparently, was right. Now we must get you a new name as well as some new clothes so Inu-Yasha won't recognize you. Make up a story as well, about the girl demon. If we run into those two again and you don't have a story there will be much trouble."
Kagome then left with Myoga upon her shoulder in the opposite direction of which the others had taken. She was headed for the nearest village to find new clothes.
Meanwhile she had come up with the story in which the demon they had saw was her twin sister. They had gotten into a fight and her sister had gone into the bush. They used to have a telepathic connection, but her sister was taken away by one of Tuashimaga's henchman and then killed. If someone asked why she was not crying she would simply say, because of their fight, she would probably have killed Emogak herself.
"I believe that will be believable to many demons. They won't want to ask much more then that. You seem to have a good imagination, so I doubt you'll have problems making up anymore details. Now we must find a new name and some other clothes. You stand out far to much." Myoga said matter-of-factly in Kagome's ear.
"Fine with me I just want to get out of here. It's creepy." And indeed it was. The village seemed to be deserted.
They walked down the street a little, and then Kagome stopped.
"I sense a shard!" Demon-Kagome exclaimed. "Myoga?" She whispered.
She looked around, but couldn't see the little flea-demon.
*Uh-oh. This doesn't look too good!* She thought, peering around for a place to hide.
Suddenly, she heard voices behind her, and dove into the nearest hut.
She looked cautiously around, and then saw them. They were walking down the main road, and there were two of them, both large kitsune.
"That was sure easy. Tuashimaga will be very happy with this," said the grey one, holding up a shard of the Jewel into the light.
"Why should we give this to him? Why not keep it? We could---" the other one started, but then was on the ground.
"Never say that. Do you want us both to die?!" The grey one exclaimed.
The second one, a red one, growled, and then was quiet for a while. They both stopped right in-front of the place Kagome was hiding and then looked at each other.
"Too bad that fight was over so soon. It wasn't really worth it. All the ones that fight back are in that stupid camp," the red one said.
Kagome shifted a little, so that she was hidden a little better. Something hit her shoulder, and she turned to look at it. She stifled a scream, but she was still heard. There was half a body beside her. All the in-sides were lying out the bottom.
"Maybe it's not over," the grey one stated, smirking, before grabbing Kagome, and pulling her into the street.
"Well, well. What do we have here?" He asked. "A spy? A survivor? Either way, it won't be alive much longer," he smirked at her, and then, like the last demon, noticed the Jewel around her neck.
"What is it?" Asked the other one.
"A chunk of the jewel. Tuashimaga would be very happy if we brought it to him," he said.
"Wait!" He yelled as the other moved to grab it off Kagome's neck.
"Why?"
"If she has that much, she must be very strong. We should just bring her, and Master Tuashimaga can get it," he said. "Even if she is strangely dressed."
"Night-night," he said, as he touched her forehead, and she slumped unconsciously.
"Who-who are you?" Kagome squeaked.
"Ha ha ha. Did you see those two run, Kagome? Ha ha ha!" The voice said from a different direction.
"How do you know my name? I-I-I mean that's not my
