The Kitsune
Kagome looked up at Inuyasha, who looked onto the chuckling hole with
malice. She was surprised to see a youkai that looked like a mole
jump out of the hole and the hole closed up underneath its feet where
it landed. The creature had brown freckled skin with no hair except
for the few atop his head. Its eyes were big and the irises blended
in with the pupils, contrasting strongly to the whites of his eyes.
He squinted those eyes and let out a chuckle.
"Pretty lady you got there, dirty hanyou." The youkai laughed again.
"You should watch her closely, or something might come up between you
two." With that, he was underground and appeared between Inuyasha and
Kagome. Luckily, Sango was quick on the draw and had thrown her
boomerang right where he was to come up. The youkai was back in the
ground as soon as he came up, but so was Kagome.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled as he struck the ground with the
Tetsusaiga. He could smell the youkai.
"Damn," Inuyasha cursed "he's moving all over the place! I'm having
trouble smelling the Cutting Wind with all the fucking dirt, too!"
Shippou cried out for Kagome.
"Kagome! Come back!" Shippou yelled. Damn fucking youkai. How dare he
take Kagome? Shippou used his disguise to turn himself into another
Kagome. "Hey! You are one stupid youkai. That one's not the
priestess, I am!" Shippou cried out. The youkai popped up out of the
ground in front of Shippou and changed "girls" before plummeting back
into the earth.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha and Sango cried. They rushed over to help her, but
she was unconscious.
"We should save Shippou!" Miroku yelled to the two. "We don't know
how long he can last down there." Miroku said gravely. Inuyasha and
Sango jumped up to help.
"Ofuda!" Miroku slapped the sacred scroll on the ground. Immediately
the mole-youkai jumped out of the ground and let loose a high pitched
scream. Shippou bit its hand and it dropped him. Shippou changed back
into himself when he hit the ground and Sango ran over to tend to
him. Inuyasha laughed.
"Dumb bastard," the youkai looked in Inuyasha's direction "now you
can't even deal with me, Cutting Wind!" he yelled as he cut the place
where the youkai meets the wind. The mole screamed as it was cut
apart by the wind blades and enveloped in its own youkai.
"I failed you, Se…" The youkai said with his dying breath. Inuyasha
shook his head once it plopped onto the ground.
"Dumb bastard." He suddenly remembered Kagome laying unconscious with
Sango and Shippou tending to her. Inuyasha and Miroku ran over to
join the group.
"Is she okay?" Inuyasha asked worriedly.
"Yeah, she'll be just fine. Her air was cut off down there for a
little while, but she should wake up in a couple of hours." Sango
informed them with relief. Inuyasha turned to Shippou and ruffled the
kitsune's hair.
"Thank you, Shippou. What you did was really brave, and probably
saved Kagome's life." Shippou squirmed out from under Inuyasha's
hand.
"It was nothing, really. Um, anyone would of done the same thing,
right? I mean, what else was I… Yeah, let's get going." Shippou said
uncomfortably.
"No, I think Shippou saved the day today." Sango picked him up and
hugged him. She laughed when he tried desperately to squirm from her
grasp. "Hey, Miroku!" Sango giggled "I think Shippou needs a hug from
yo-ou!" She laughed when he struggled harder. Inuyasha rolled his
eyes and put Kagome on his back.
"Okay, children, leave the puppy alone and let's get going." Shippou
gasped for air while Miroku and Sango cracked up laughing. Again the
group was headed west. To a place where Hojo was kept captive and
Sesshoumaru plotted against them.
After walking for a few hours, Kagome finally woke up. Her eyes
opened up and she realized that she was being carried. She instantly
knew by the hair her face was buried into.
"Inuyasha," Kagome mumbled. His heart jumped.
"Yeah?" he asked softly.
"I'm thirsty." Inuyasha slid her carefully off of his back and gave
her a drink out of Sango's leather pouch that she had given him for
when she woke up.
"Thanks, how long have I been out?" She asked drowsily. Inuyasha
smiled and gave her a quick kiss on the lips.
"For about three hours. Shippou practically saved you. He used his
kitsune disguise and acted like he was the real priestess. The demon
got him and left you lying there, any longer and you probably would
have died. I just kind of cut him apart once Miroku drove him out of
the ground and Shippou bit the youkai to make him drop him." Inuyasha
smiled. "Sango was really worried about you there for a second."
"Oh and you weren't?" Kagome asked playfully.
"Of course not." Inuyasha answered with fake nonchalance. They
laughed and Kagome called Shippou over to her.
"You're awake!" Shippou exclaimed as he jumped up onto her shoulder.
Kagome carefully picked him up and hugged him.
"I heard what you did for me Shippou." He kind of squirmed
uncomfortably, but accepted the attention. "I just wanted to say
thank you." Kagome gave him another hug before stetting him back on
her shoulder.
"No problem, anyone would o-"
"I have a question." Inuyasha asked abruptly. Kagome hadn't even
realized his absence from the conversation.
"Okay, what?" Kagome looked at him quizzically.
"Where you the only offspring of Kikyou that resembled her at all?"
Inuyasha looked at her seriously.
"Well, yeah actually. No one else ever looked a thing like us. Why do
you ask?" Kagome furrowed her eyebrows in deep thought.
"Well," Inuyasha sighed "nether did her parents or sister when they
were younger. I'm wondering if it means anything. Probably just
stupid, though, I don't know what exactly it could mean. It's just
kind of weird, you know?" Inuyasha looked down at his feet. Kagome
and Shippou followed suit.
"Yeah, I don't know either." Kagome said evasively. She didn't know
what the heck he was talking about, but he was right: there was
something unsettling about the whole thing. All of a sudden, she
couldn't wait for this whole trip to be over.
(A/n: What's happening? Who knows yet? Nobody! So tune in next time
for more interesting things and a long talk between Inuyasha and
Kagome about the Well! Maybe that'll clear up a few questions.
Hopefully, if my writing goes as planned. Love you all!)
