AN: I don't own Inuyasha and the gang. But I do own Shinrami because she is a creation of my demented mind.
In the late afternoon. Shinrami woke up. She smiled for she was happier that she ever was… except when her mother was still alive. She stood and walked out of the hut. She was still in a bit of pain. Her gaze was stern and unemotional. She walked a bit, seeing Miroku and Sango holding each other. She didn't see Kagome, Inuyasha or Kouga. Oh boy… Inuyasha must have made Kagome his. She concluded. Cute little Shippou was using Kirara as a pillow. She didn't disturb them, and walked somewhere she could see water. "What are you doing!? You shouldn't be walking!" She turned to the voice to find Kouga. "That's your…ouch!" He had pushed on her abdomen. "I think not." She just sat down. He took a seat next to her. "What is the matter with you?" Her gaze didn't move to him. "I… I still hate Kikyo. She was going to kill… my friend. She stood back up. Her back was to Kouga. "I hate her. Just like I hate the youkai's that killed my mother." Tears pierced her eyes, as she thought about it. "I've never felt so much… hate." Kouga moved himself closer to her. "Please tell me. What do you dream of?" She blushed. What is wrong with me? Why does he have this effect on me?
Her hands touched each other, and her chest. "Me… I've always wanted to find my mate… the love of my life. Someone who loves me… But I'll never find such a man." But her heart was saying that was a lie. He was right there behind her. "But also it is weak to show such emotions. Kindness, fear, and love." Her heart again told her. All she was saying was all a lie. "What about that? You show kindness…" Her eyes widened. He's right! …I have… I'm afraid to love someone… I'm afraid… that I'll end up like my mother… Kouga then rested his hands on her shoulders. She blushed. But she shook it away. "You know… my mother… she died because she was kind and gentle. And the fact she mated and loved a human." Kouga looked kindly at her. "Why are you…" Shinrami shoved Kouga away. "My mother was killed right in front of me! Just leave me be!" She ran away from him. Leaving him shocked. A mile away she found a pool of water. She felt sticky…. Must be the blood She thought. She carefully took of her clothes. She walked over and submerged her whole body, but her shoulders and head.
Kouga still in shock, walked back his head in a daze. Her mother killed in front of her… He sat with a thump. Sango and Miroku looked over at him. In no time Inuyasha and Kagome came around. Kagome saw Kouga sitting there in a daze. "Sango-chan, come with me." Somehow she knew that Kouga's daze was caused by Shinrami. Kouga even in a dazed state could smell the musk scent of Inuyasha on her. She was now his. I wish I could make Shinrami mine…but… He bit his lip. She wouldn't allow me to..
Sango and Kagome searched around until they found her resting in water. Her crimson hair wet her eyes full of confusion. "Come join me. Sango-chan, Kagome-chan." Sango and Kagome smiled. They did just that. "What's on your mind?" Sango asked as she parked herself. "Mostly my mom and…" She stopped. "What is it? You know Kouga really seems…" Shinrami cut her short. "I know… He has fallen…" She said softly. "I just don't know… how do I feel…" She lied. No one at the time could tell she was blushing. "Hey remember when you said you had no qualms. About seeing someone nude?" Shinrami reluctantly nodded. "What about Kouga?" Kagome questioned. It was then she turned redder. Just thinking about it. "Oh, you do…" Shinrami was about to say something until she smelled mint, dog, and wolf. This time she noticed that Kouga's scent had more that wolf to it… she just didn't know what it was at the moment. It was different that what she was use to… She picked up a good sized rock without the boys seeing it. "What's wrong, Shinrami-chan?" She smirked "Who are the only ones that smell of mint, dog, and wolf?" They nodded as she tossed the rock over. Two seconds later, screeching could be heard. Those of Kouga and Inuyasha. That rock completely missed Miroku. It apparently hit Kouga in the shoulder, then fell onto Inuyasha's foot. They whimpered as Miroku forced them to move.
"Ouch…" Sango muttered. Then Shinrami blurted "I think… I'm afraid… afraid to love someone else. Mostly because my mother died… murdered by other youkai. She was killed because she loved a human, and she was kind and gentle to the human race." Kagome gasped. "Your mother was killed…" She nodded. "Right in front of me. She was a beautiful woman. Her name was… Aikatana… I can still see her. Her sparkling silver eyes. The long soft dark violet hair. She soft fair skin. She could had anyone…" Kagome leaned in Shinrami smiled. "Come here, Shippou." Shippou unwillingly came out from behind a rock. He sat on the bank next to Shinrami. She pulled her hand out the water and rubbed Shippou's head, as she spoke. "One night. My mother was taking care of me for my father was gone. Then the youkai's attacked my mother. They didn't know I was there. They slashed at her. When they were done, they left her for dead. Her blood every where… But she was still alive." Tears coursed down her pale fair face. "She… she crawled in agony over to me. She smiled at seeing me unharmed. But also she did that so she could give me her flute. A flute made from her own fang. She told me how to use it… then…then she died. I was so scared… Not long after my father died of grief…" Sango and Kagome were in tears. "Who killed Aikatana…?" Sango had to ask. "Wolfs. But none from Kouga's pack. All tribes smell differently. But ones from the same tribe smell alike. The ones who killed my mother smelled nothing like Kouga's tribe." Shippou jumped on her shoulder and wiped her tears away with is fuzzy fox tail. "Thank you, Shippou." She gently hugged Shippou. "I think you should tell Kouga." Kagome said. "I guess… your right…" Shippou whispered to her. "Don't worry, Shinrami. Kouga would take care of you. He would protect you. So would his tribe." Her eyes glittered. "Thank you. Thank you so much. Now I feel ready." They just sat there and sat there for hours. When it was getting dark, Kagome stood and Shippou closed his eyes. "Come on, lets get back to them." Sango nodded and got herself up. Shinrami picked herself up, and got her clothes. Kagome and Sango stared in awe. Her wound from Kikyo was now fully healed.
But another thing caught there eyes. Any man who saw her like this would say she was rounded, almost voluptuous. They would want her. Excluding Miroku and Inuyasha.. But Kouga would drool. "Wow… to a guy, you have a … great body…" Shinrami smiled and lightly blushed. "Thank you…" She put her clothes back on. When every one was dressed, and Shippou had his eyes open. Sango said "Let's go." As they walked Shippou jumped into Kagome's arms.
