And now you see why I turned them into wolves instead of pigs ^_^ had to put Kouga in someplace. I was hoping ppl would enjoy chibi Kagome's description of weddings lol.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
One of the figures turned to Jaken and raised a hand. The next thing he knew, he was in the air, and then, Jaken knew nothing at all.
The figure's hand lowered. "A pity. Come on. I want to be gone before Kikyou finds out. The figure walked towards the elevator and the smaller figure hurried after.
Manten froze as he heard voices. *I hoped I was the only one looking for gold* he thought. He stomped away from the tub and out into the hall. "Who's there?!" he yelled, never one to do anything quietly. He turned the corner to the elevator and saw someone he didn't expect to see. "It's you!" he gasped.
The two figures turned to him. "Manten, since I'm here I may as well enjoy myself. Wake up the girls, and we'll have a little party in the employee lounge." the taller one said, he gestured to the shorter one. "My friend here will see that you are well paid." The smaller one held out a hand with several gold coins stacked on it. Manten reached forward and took them. "Will I be receiving more?" he asked, greedily. The tall figure laughed, "If you make sure that Kikyou does not find out that I am here."
"Finally!" Rin said, as Sango woke up. "I've been shaking you for ages, you sleep like a rock." Sango blinked at the light. "It's not sunset yet, what's wrong? Where is everyone?" she asked, noticing that Kagome was the only other person there. "Come on!" Rin said pulling Sango to her feet. "What about Mei? Shouldn't we wake her?" Sango asked, as Rin dragged her out of the room. "Just come on! Hurry!"
"The lounge?" Sango asked, realizing where they were heading. Rin said nothing but kept tugging on her hand to make her walk faster. "Go in!" Rin urged. Sango sighed in defeat and slid open the door. She frowned in surprise, no one should be awake yet, but the lounge was filled. Several guys were in there, Manten and his brother talking to Sesshoumaru (the guy with the fluffy tail, as if nobody knows that) were the first ones she noticed. A short guy she had never seen before, with a striped tail, was standing in the middle of the room handing out money.
Sitting on the couch, surrounded by the rest of the girls, was another guy. Sango gasped. The guy looked at her and stood up. "Sango." he said.
Kagome yawned and rolled to the side, trying to escape from the sunlight coming through the door. She blinked for a moment and then snuggled into her blanket. *there's no one here!* she realized, as what she had seen registered. Her eyes flew open and she sat up, looking around. The beds were empty, with the blankets thrown back, but none of them were folded. It looked like the girls had left in a hurry.
Kagome got out of bed and hurried out onto the balcony. She leaned backwards out over the rail, looking up at the chimneys. *No smoke. That means Myouga hasn't lit the fires yet. I wonder where the girls went.* she thought. Frowning in thought, she turned to look out at the water.
She watched the waves breaking against the shore calmly. Suddenly something in the air caught her eye. It was the flying dog she had seen before. It didn't look as white has it had before though, it looked like it had patches. It was flying erratically, lurching around in the sky. Something seemed to be following it. Kagome squinted into the light. There were several long white snakes; they seemed to be attacking it! Then Kagome realized, the patches weren't its fur, it was blood.
Kagome stared in horror; afraid the dog would be killed. "Yasha!" she screamed. She covered her mouth with a surprised hand. *Why did I say that? it can't be Yasha, can it?* The dog half turned to her, as it continued frantically trying to escape the white snakes. And suddenly, although she didn't know why or how, she knew it was Yasha.
"Yasha!" she screamed again. "This way! Yasha!" This time the dog turned and flew right at her. Kagome leapt out of the way as it half flew, half crashed into the room. Kagome pulled the door closed and there were several thumps as the white snakes smashed into it. Cautiously peeking out the door when it was silent, Kagome was surprised to see that the snakes had completely vanished.
She turned around, "Yasha?" she said, looking at the dog in horror. The dog looked even larger up close. It was a huge white dog, bigger than Kikyou's cat Kirara. There were deep gashes along one side and down one of it's legs. "Yasha?" she said again, stepping closer. The dog snarled at her, causing blood to drip out of its mouth.
Suddenly the dog lunged forward, Kagome dove to the side and the dog crashed through the door and back out into the sky. It headed up along the side of the bathhouse. *He's going to Kikyou* Kagome thought. *But he's so hurt, I have to help him!*
Kagome ran out of the room and down the hall. She was almost to the elevator when she heard laughter from the lounge. *So that's where everyone is, maybe someone can help me* She turned and rushed into the lounge, and stopped in surprise. A strange guy was sitting on the couch. He was wearing strange purple and black robes. He had his arms around a girl sitting on his lap, one arm was wrapped in cloth and a string of prayer beads. The girl, was Sango. "Mei!" she said excitedly, seeing Kagome.
Sango jumped up and went over to her. "It's Miroku!" she cried. "He's back!" Kagome looked at her in confusion. "Who?" Before Sango could answer, Kohaku rushed into the room. "Miroku! Kikyou's back!" Kagome's eyes widened. *I've got to get to Yasha before Kikyou* she ran out of the room before anyone could stop her.
She hurried onto the elevator and took it as high as it would go. Rushing out onto one of the floors above the baths she frantically looked for another elevator. She spotted one and ran towards it, passing a smaller one with a sign on it. The sign read "For Kikyou's Use Only." *It might get me there faster* Kagome thought, and quickly hopped on.
The elevator flew up and stopped so suddenly she nearly fell. Kagome rushed out the instant the doors opened, and stopped in confusion. She wasn't in the long hall that led to Kikyou's office, but in a four-walled chamber with three doors, one on each wall, and the elevator on the fourth one. Kagome quickly went to one of the doors and opened it. *it must be Kikyou's bedroom* she thought and backed out.
She went to another door and opened it, finding herself in a large room that resembled a forest. *what the?* she was about to leave when she heard Kikyou's voice. She spotted a curtain on the other side of the room. *that must be the one I saw when I was in her office* She hurried over to listen. Peeking around the curtain, Kagome could see into Kikyou's office. The giant dog was lying still on the floor. The white-haired girl with the mirror, Kirara, and Kikyou stood around him. "I no longer have a use for Yasha. Get rid of him while I go deal with the problem downstairs." Kikyou was saying. Then she turned and headed right for Kagome!
Kagome looked around and dove into a bush. Kikyou came in. "Be a good boy, I'll be back soon Shippou!" Kikyou crooned into a tree. After saying that, she quickly left the room through the door that led to the elevator. Kagome leapt up and headed for the curtain. Before she got to it a line of blue flame shot up, blocking her path. She whipped around.
A little boy stood behind her. He had messy brown-red hair and pointy ears. A bushy tail wagged behind him and he stood on two thin, black, furry legs. "Stay here and play with me!" he begged. Kagome shook her head. "No, I have to help someone! I'll play with you later." she answered.
The boy glared and pulled out what looked like a tiny Jizo statue and a piece of paper. *That looks like the paper Kikyou used on me* Kagome thought nervously. "You'll play with me now, or I'll use these!" he threatened. Kagome tried to reason with him, after all it had worked when Souta was little. "Be a good boy, and I'll come back and play later. We can go for a walk in a real forest." she said, brightly.
The boy shook his head. "Kikyou's afraid something will happen to me if I leave. Someone might kill me. So we'll stay here. And we'll play now, or I'll scream! Kikyou will hear and she'll turn you into a wolf!" the boy promised. Kagome glanced back through the curtain and saw the girl and Kirara pushing Yasha into a large hole in the floor. She looked around desperately and she saw that some of Yasha's blood had splattered on her.
"See this? It's blood! I just killed someone and I'll kill you too!" she said, hoping it would work. The little boy squealed, it would have been cute under other circumstances, and scrambled up into a tree. The flames disappeared and Kagome ran out into the room.
"Leave him alone!" she cried, dropping to her knees by Yasha. Kirara snarled and the girl with the mirror moved towards Kagome with a glare. Just then the little boy walked out from the curtain. "I'm not scared of you!" he said. "Play now."
The little girl hurried to him. "Shippou, you must stay in your room! Go back!" He pushed her back and headed towards Kagome. Suddenly the window behind the desk burst open and one of the white snakes came flying in. It stopped between Kagome and Shippou and transformed into Kikyou! "My, my" she said. "What's going on here?"
Shippou looked at her in surprise. "Kikyou? How'd you do that?" he asked. Kikyou laughed. "Do I really look that much like Kikyou? she asked. Kagome looked at her, and noticed a small patch over one eye. "You're not Kikyou!" she gasped. Kirara snarled and leapt at the Kikyou look-alike.
She calmly raised a hand. "Down kitty." she said. There was a flash of light and Kirara landed on the ground with a confused "mew?" She had been transformed into a tiny kitten. The Kikyou look-alike laughed and turned to Shippou. "Now to keep you quiet." She raised her hand and Shippou was engulfed in a puff of smoke. When it cleared he was a little fox. The white-haired girl started to run off and was caught by the puff of smoke too. She turned into what Shippou had been.
"Who are you?" Kagome asked. The Kikyou look-alike turned to her. "I'm Kikyou's sister Kaede." she answered. Kagome stepped closer to her. "I saw those snakes attacking Yasha. Why?" she asked. Kaede frowned. "I sent the Shinidamachuu after him because he stole something important from me." she said. Kagome was quiet for a moment. "But, but why would he steal from you?" she said finally.
"Because he is under my sister's control. She sent him to steal my Shikon no Tama. It's very important to me. So I sent my Shinidamachuu to retrieve it and kill him. They were unable to get it back however, so now I'm here to take it myself." having said this, Kaede stepped towards Yasha.
"No! Leave him alone!" Kagome cried out. Suddenly Yasha lifted his head and snarled at Kaede. He tried to get to his feet. "Yasha, be careful!" Kagome gasped. But she was too late. He stumbled and fell over the edge of the hole, taking Kagome, Shippou and Kirara with him. Kagome held onto him for dear life with one hand and held Shippou and Kirara under her other arm. For some reason as she fell through the darkness, clinging to Yasha's back, Kagome had a strange sense of déjà vu.
The four of them fell for what seemed like forever to Kagome. Suddenly there was a light which grew brighter and brighter. Looking over Yasha's shoulder Kagome could see a roaring fire beneath them, and quickly coming closer. "Yasha wake up! We'll be killed!" Kagome screamed.

A couple notes:
Yes I know that the Shinidamachuu's are Kikyou's and not Kaede's. But in my story they are.
And I know Inuyasha can't turn into a giant dog, that's what Sess does. But again, he does in this story. Also that's what he looks like if you're having trouble picturing it.
