Inu Yasha and The Spell of Youth
Chapter 7: Second Half of the Battle, and Shippo?!
"Ah, I see he's already nearing full blossom, it'll be painful for you to be killed by him, won't it?", Lord Inako asked, as the pressure increased.
"I see we're picking on little girls now, Lord Inako.", Sessho said.
"Sessho- Maru.", he snarled, one vine bundle arm swung to catch him as well.
Only, Sessho dodged it, and ran along the other wall. "I see we've not lost our touch, traitor.", Inako snorted.
Meanwhile, Kaongy burned the other vines away. A terrifying scream followed. "Any solution for this Kagome?", he asked her.
"I know.", she said, producing the hair spray, she sprayed it, while hacking with the sword, until the Lord was cinders, "What about them?", she asked.
"The children are all fine, here watch.", Kaongy said, he folded his hands, and started to sing softly, as he did, his hair filled with blossoms, and started to bloom, the pollen from them lifted, and spread over all the buds, changing them all back, including little Inu- Yasha, though he remained child.
Kaongy stopped, and the flowers wilted, he stumbled a bit, breathing deeply. "What's wrong?", Kagome asked.
"He needs water, now!", Sessho yelled.
Kagome, having her bag always handy, pulled out some bottled water, and handed it to him. "Drink it, it'll help.", she told him to do.
Kaongy tipped the bottle and drank the thing dry, his eyes widened in pleasure. "I've never had water that good!", he exclaimed, with surprise.
"If you come with us, you can have more like that.", Sessho prompted.
"Here, take another one.", Kagome handed over another bottled water.
"It's so fresh, so.... Clean...", he commented.
"Ka- go- me? Sessho?", a small whimper came.
"Inu, are you okay?", Sessho asked.
"I'm okay, why? What's wrong? What's that?!", Inu exclaimed pointing a finger at Kaongy, who was draining a third bottle.
"A friend.", Sessho explained.
"I'll come to your place.", Kaongy was answering Kagome.
So, they all climbed through the well... Coming out on the other side. "Wow, feel all of that air.", Kaongy stated.
"That's right, a lot of people, meaning more air for you.", Kagome said, "Carbon- dioxide.",
...
When Kagome entered her home, she turned to Kaongy first, "I want to tell my Mother before I let you in.", Kagome said.
"Okay.", Kaongy said.
(Now, a few mentions as to what a plant being really is like, one, they need a lot of water, because are they not only a plant, but one that moves more than most, another is that they enjoy having mineralized soil to temporarily plant themselves to get what they need to live, their roots take in what is considered food for them. That's all...)
"Okay, you can come in now.", Kagome informed.
"So, you're Kaongy, I'm Kagome's Mother, and anything you need just ask for it.", she shook his hand.
"A nice plot of soil is all I really need, and a lot of that water in a bottle.", Kaongy said, "Is all I really need, and plenty of sunshine.",
"Oh, really, you're not really that needy are you?", she replied, "Grandpa, do we still have that planting soil in the shed?",
"Yes.", he replied shortly.
"I'll go ahead, and get that plot set up...", her Mom gave a nervous laugh.
"Wow, you're really tall, even taller than Sessho.", Inu said, tugging at Kaongy's silver colored komodo.
Kaongy swept Inu up, and held him to look in his eyes, "You're right, I am kinda tall.",
"Come here Inu, you need a good bath, little imp.", Sessho remarked, snatching him from Kaongy.
"Awe, but, I want to talk some more.", Inu whined.
"Then, it's off to bed, and a good rest.", Sessho said.
"But, why can't I stay up?", Inu argued.
"Because, all we do while you're in bed, is talk a bunch of boring stuff.", Sessho- Maru explained.
"Hey, did you get the jewel shard, Sessho?", Kagome asked.
"Oh, I did, here.", Kaongy said, he handed over the shard, "I'm going to go settle in for the night, good night Kagome.",
"Night Kaongy, sleep well, or whatever you do.", Kagome replied.
And that is when Shippo (I think I spelled that right) appeared. "Hi!", he said, unluckily, it was just as Inu was finished with his bath.
"I don't want to go to sleep, Sessho.", Inu pouted.
"Let him stay up for a half an hour.", Kagome said.
"Hm? What the?!", Shippo said.
Inu saw Shippo, and hid behind Sessho, "Is that after me too?!", he asked Sessho.
"No, he's not, he's a friend.", Kagome explained.
"What?! No way! Is he?", Shippo asked, poking at the small dog- demon.
"Yup.", Sessho- Maru stated.
"Sessho, I want to go to bed now, can you read me a story please?", Inu- Yasha stated quickly, holding his little hands up to be picked up.
Sessho scooped him up, and took him to his bedroom. "I think he's scared of me.", Shippo remarked.
"Most likely because any demons he's seen here have all attacked him so far, including Sessho.", Kagome guessed, "He'll get over it.",
Shippo shrugged,
End Chapter: Next Chapter, I don't know yet, might be the last so I can start my Inu- Yasha angst fic....
