Chapter 8: Stranger in the Wind
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Musuko and Miroku sat fishing on a small bridge over a stream. Inu Onna didn't understand, she was pretty sure that monks were supposed to have some kind of vegetarian diet or something. (AN: Did you know that "vegetarian" in India means "can't hunt well"?)
So she sat on the grass beside the stream looking into the clear rushing water. She watched as a cat fish swam by. She raised her hand and swiped at it. The fish flipped into the air but went back into the water and swam away.
"Be careful! Don't scare the fish away." Miroku said.
Suddenly Musuko's line started to tug. "FATHER!! I think I got one!" he shouted. Miroku got up to help him.
"Reel it in, Son!" Miroku said.
Musuko's eyes widened and the excitement rushed through him. The fish popped out of the water wriggling around at the end of the line. Musuko saw it and took a step back terrified. "It's alive!" he shouted making scared sounds.
Miroku got a sack and helped him put it in. Musuko still looked scared as the fish flopped around in the cloth. Miroku held it out for him to look inside. Musuko leaned foreward and the fish leapt up at him.
"WAHH!!" Musuko jumped back in shock and fear. Miroku laughed a little.
Inu Onna snorted. "Chicken." She looked into the water again and another cat fish came, it was a little bit bigger then the last one, but it was nothing she couldn't handle. She raised her claws again and smashed it against the water, sending the fish flying into the grass. "Ha, ha!" she picked it up in her teeth and scampered toward home, humming victoriously.
Inu Onna ran into the castle, she heard the baby crying. It had been three months since Inu Otoko was born. He woke her up late at night with his crying, just so he could get a late night snack. And her parents were ALWAYS spending time with him. ALWAYS!! It was like they didn't think the kid could take care of himself.
Inu Onna ran into the room where Kagome was trying to calm the baby down. Inu Onna dropped the fish at Kagome's feet. "Look what I caught, Mama!" she said.
Kagome glanced at it, but didn't really see it, because if she did, she would've told Inu Onna to get it off the Oriental rug. "That's nice Inu Onna, could you go get your father?"
But Inu Yasha came in there right as she said that. "I'm here." He said.
Kagome handed Inu Otoko to him and the little whelp stopped crying immediately. Inu Yasha raised him in the air and Inu Otoko wriggled his legs and laughed. Kagome smiled and hugged his arm. "You were made to be a father, Inu Yasha." She said.
Inu Yasha just smiled and played "airplane" with the baby while Kagome watched joyously. Inu Onna sat there watching for a few seconds then walked off on all fours scowling, "Suck up." She muttered.
She walked outside and walked over to sit on a tree stump. Six or seven cats sat around her and she scratched their backs. They wanted to help her, but she told them she was fine and that she wanted to be alone. So the cats started to walk back to their homes, 'If you need our help, just *call*.' They said.
Inu Onna sat looking around when the gentle wind all of a sudden blew harshly at her. She heard a voice through the trees. "Inu Oooonnaaaa..."
She wasn't scared, but she kept her guard up just in case. This was not a voice she had heard before. It was a man's voice, charming, but she got some evil vibes from it. "What do you want?" she asked the voice.
The wind whipped her hair around violently. "You are the daughter of Lord Inu Yasha, why would some one so important be so unprotected?"
"I can take care of myself." She said looking around. Hide and Seek wasn't exactly her favorite game.
"I'm sure you can." The voice said. "And what about your younger human brother, Inu Otoko?"
"How do you know about him?" Inu Onna asked.
There was a pause. "The question is who doesn't know? What do you think of him?"
"None of your business!" Inu Onna spat.
"Of course." The male voice said. "If it were me, I'd be jealous of all the attention he was getting, and after you caught that big fish, too. It's like you don't even exist sometimes."
"Who are you?!" Inu Onna asked.
There was another pause. "Let's just say, I knew your father."
"Oh that's a clue, everyone knows him!" she shouted back.
No one responded.
"Hey! I'm talking to you!!" Inu Onna stood up on the stump. "HEY!!"
The wind went back to normal, but Inu Onna's temper was ten times worse. She could smell the guy, but the smell was in every direction, so she couldn't find him if she tried. He smelled dangerous and evil. There was also the strange smell of monkey in the air.
