Numero 2! I updated, though no one has reviewed…..*pouts* is it that no one likes it? *hugs inuyasha plushy* anyways on with the story.
Kalani sat down at the edge of a cliff, where the river emptied into the ocean. During her years here, she had traveled all over the land, and felt so free, if not a bit lonely. But she had animals to keep her company, though it wasn't the same as human company. She felt a disturbance in the air, and she turned.
Inuyasha landed softly in front of her, and look apologetic. "Kala, I didn't mean to make you think I was mad at you. I wasn't. I was hurt by Naraku over fifty years ago. He took my form, and hurt a priestess that I loved, turning her against me. Then she came after me, and sealed me to a tree where I stayed for fifty years, till Kagome released me. Naraku put me and Kikyou against each other, making us hate one another-" Before he could finished, he felt shy arms around his waist.
"I know it hurts you to speak of Kikyou Inuyasha. You don't have to speak of her or your past if you don't wish to. I don't care about your past. I care about your future, as well as the others. I don't know why I was sent here, or what Naraku wants me for, but I know that your futures are more important then the pasts." Kalani let him go before he recovered from his shock.
The next morning, Kaede walked out of her hut, and found Kalani sitting on the ground by the door. She was wide awake, and restless.
"Are ye ready child?" Kaede asked, ready to take her to the ill feline youkai. Kalani stood, and stretched, letting out a huge yawn.
"Ready Kaede-sama." The two healers walked through the town, and into the Inuyasha Forest. There, laying at the base of the God Tree, was a Kirara look a like. Only it was male.
Kalani frowned and immediately sat down and spoke with the youkai. "Hey little one," she whispered with a slight smile. The Kirara-look a like mewed, and purred. "Where does it hurt?" She asked. Another meow then a hiss. "I see, I will help you." Kalani gave a genuine smile, and put her forehead against that of the feline youkai.
Kaede watched the warm blue glow surround the both of them, and then it disappeared. Kalani clutched her stomach, doubling over, her expression one of intense pain. Kaede knelt beside her. "Kalani?" She inquired, noticing that the girl was holding her breath, and she was trembling.
"Can't breathe," she managed to choke, gasping for air. She slumped over, passing out. The little Kirara-look alike, transformed into a larger version, it's tail was completely black and its eyes were orange.
Kaede smiled at the youkai, and helped position Kalani on his back. "Now, back to the village." The youkai matched pace with the elder miko, and kept looking over his shoulder at the human that had saved him. It growled a little, much like Kirara did when something was wrong.
Kirara woke from her cat nap, and sprang alert. She hissed and growled, while dashing from the hut. At the sight of the bigger youkai, she too transformed.
"What's going on?" Came a sleep slurred query from a bleary eyed Sango, who was followed closely by Miroku.
Kaede patted the male youkai on the head. "Kalani is ill," she said, and motioned for Miroku to help her with the young girl. The monk complied, yawning and asking of Inuyasha's whereabouts.
Kagome came from inside the hut, and her eyes were immediately drawn to the unconscious girl. "Inuyasha stopped by just a few minutes ago, saying he needed some time alone to think. What happened?" She knelt beside Kalani's prone form after Miroku laid her down.
"She healed this little youkai," Kaede explained as a small Kirara and the male came in. "After that, she said she couldn't breathe, doubled over in pain, and then she was unconscious.
