I do not own Inuyasha or any of Takahashi-sama's characters.
"Wren?" Kirara asked nervously when he appeared.
"Moron! You don't know what's on the other side…"
"Ow!" Shippo landed on his face.
"We better start climbing before your parent's come to find us," Kirara grasped Wren's hand tightly.
"OY! WENCH!" Inuyasha yelled as he saw their forms retreating over the top edge.
"Inuyasha! You're exactly like the comic portrays you! I can't believe that you were my favorite character!" Kirara growled in annoyance. "I have to agree with Kagome on her name for you! INUYASHA NO BAKA!"
"Kagome?" Inuyasha looked worriedly at his wife.
"Sometimes it still fits, but not as often," Kagome hugged her husband tightly.
"Great, now that the pleasantries are over, let's find the baba," Inuyasha sighed in annoyance.
"Maybe I should use Koga's saying, but then I don't want to loose a friend," Kirara sighed.
"Kirara, are you okay?" Shippo asked concerned. "I haven't seen you this worried since the day you got…"
"Just nerves. I apologize, Mr. Inu, but if I was a cat demon I think my mouth was of better use then," Kirara sighed.
"Kirara, you don't need to apologize to my dad," Wren looked at his new friend worriedly. "It was either a tongue lashing from someone or an osuwari from my mom."
"Wren, I hate to say this, but even if your dad deserved it, I still have to apologize. It's the one thing I remember about my mom. She taught me to never go too long when an apology was needed."
"Your mom and my foster mom were friends, remember Kirara?" Shippo smiled. "They even watched all the televised episodes of Inuyasha together."
"And if you remember, they died together," Kirara's eyes began to water but she immediately wiped them away.
"Dad could you and mom, take Shippo over the hill for a minute or two?" Wren asked.
"We'll wait up ahead for you two," Inuyasha nodded. "Apology accepted." They walked away.
"Kirara, it's okay," Wren held her in his arms letting her cry on his shoulder.
"I hardly remember her, Wren," Kirara cried into his shirt.
"Shh, I understand, I never got to meet my grandparents, and my dad's mom died when he was really little," Wren tried to comfort her. "Can you stop crying now?"
"Yeah, thanks Wren," Kirara hugged him and smiled. "You and Shippo are the only friends I've ever had, not to mention the best."
"…" Wren blushed.
"We better hurry and catch up to the others!" Kirara grinned at him and took his hand. They both ran to catch up; surprisingly, they used their hanyou speed.
"Slow down! They aren't going to leave us behind!" Wren yelped.
"But this is fun!" Kirara laughed happily.
"Here they…" Inuyasha began laughing in the middle of his sentence.
"Inuyasha! Don't laugh at your son!" Kagome put her hands on her hips and pouted.
"I'm laughing at our future daughter in law," Inuyasha kissed his wife.
"OUR WHAT!" Kagome screeched.
"He's already started protecting her, you know it's only a matter of time," Inuyasha laughed.
"You guys did know that they heard that, right?" Shippo asked.
Kirara dropped Wren's hand and faced the adults, "We both heard everything you two said. And, you two don't get to decide on my future. I'm an orphan and I am entitled to advice, but I don't have to take it. You two aren't my parents, my mom is dead and my dad may as well be for all he cares! I HATE Naraku and Kikyo! I dislike Shane! I only have two people I can even call my friends and one of their parents is a really annoying…!" Kirara stopped herself just in time and stomped off in the direction they were heading in.
"An annoying what?" Inuyasha pressed.
"Husband of a very nice and sophisticated lady," Kirara smirked.
"What?" Inuyasha finally understood when he got to the village. "GIRL!" he growled.
"Ignoramus," Kirara played with her nails.
"I AM NOT! YOU LITTLE BRAT!" Inuyasha growled.
"OSUWARI!" Kagome glared at her husband, "Leave her alone Inu-chan."
"Um, mom, dad, Kirara?" Wren choked out. "WHY ARE THEY LOOKING LIKE THEY'RE ABOUT TO KILL US?"
"RUN!" Kirara yelled. She ran straight into the forest, Inuyasha had Kagome on his back, and he was going in the same direction she was.
"Move it!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Shippo! Wren!" Kirara did a 180 and ran back to get her friends.
"Kirara!" Kagome yelled hopelessly.
Kirara landed between her friends and the mob, "LEAVE MY FRIENDS ALONE! WE'VE DONE NOTHING TO YOU!"
"Get the youkai!"
"SHIT!" Kirara growled and attacked.
"AHH!" the mob charged.
"Kirara!" Wren yelled in distress, he jumped in to help her.
"Shippo! We could use some help now!" Wren yelled.
"KITSUNE-BI!"
"CLAWS OF BLOOD!"
"CLAWS OF BLOOD!"
"RUN AWAY!" the villagers too off in the other direction, not noticing that they were only wounded, and none had died.
"MOM! DAD!" Wren yelled.
"INUYASHA!" Kirara yelled.
"KAGOME!" Shippo yelled.
"Those names, how do you know those?" an ugly toad croaked.
"It's Jaken!" Kirara whispered to Wren. "Watch out for his staff, but he won't be a match for the three of us."
"Why watch the staff?" Wren asked.
"It throws fire," Kirara replied softly.
"I DEMAND AN ANSWER!"
"Shut up ya toad faced, wart headed, piece of dung," Kirara rolled her eyes.
"WHY YOU LITTLE BITCH!"
"Not quite right, moron!" Kirara smirked.
"Leave them alone, Jaken!" Inuyasha had finally returned.
"Well, fashionably late as usual, Inuyasha," Sesshoumaru entered the picture.
"Fancy seeing you again, brother," Inuyasha growled.
"Why are you here?"
"My son and his friends left our home to see the baba," Inuyasha growled.
"You don't look that much like a girl," Kirara stated.
"…" Sesshoumaru gaped at the girl hanyou.
"The book makes you look way too girly."
"What book would that be?"
"If I show you… you have to promise not to fight or kill Inuyasha or any member of our group and you can't steal or ruin my book. Is it a deal?" Kirara asked.
"…Deal," Sesshoumaru replied.
"Here's you and Rin and Jaken, he needs to get hit more often," Kirara grinned when Sesshoumaru showed a surprise interest at the name.
"Inuyasha?"
"It's about the dead bitch, Inuyasha, Kagome, you, Rin, Jaken, Sango, Miroku, Kaede, and Shippo," Kirara grinned. "Oh, I forgot about Naraku."
"Really?"
"Yeah, Rin is one of my favorite characters!"
"My Rin?" Sesshoumaru smiled.
"Yes, Kagome, Inuyasha, Rin, Shippo, and Sango are my first favorites!" Kirara laughed, "You get included into that when you started to be nice to Rin! Then I think the way the series went is that you help Inuyasha fight Naraku… but since the Kikyo and Naraku I know, threw away my mom's comics… I only have one now."
"Kikyo and Naraku?" Sesshoumaru raised a brow.
"My foster parents, only they look exactly like Kikyo and Naraku from the comic. They even act like them!" Kirara's face was now a mask.
"Don't put on my face, girl, it doesn't suit you," Sesshoumaru frowned.
"Hey, if it's on my face, it's not yours," Kirara shrugged.
"…"
"Let's go see the baba!" Kirara laughed when she saw Sesshomaru's expression.
"Kirara," Wren sighed and laughed softly.
"What?" Kirara cocked her head in confusion.
"Never mind," Wren sighed.
"Okay, if it's important enough you'll tell me later," Kirara smiled happily and took off toward the village again.
"Um, Kirara," Shippo tapped her on the shoulder. "The villagers attacked us, remember?"
"Feh! Like that's a big deal!" Kirara waved her hand and motioned to Kagome.
"Huh? Why are you waving at me?" Kagome asked.
"Well, out of all of us, you are a human…."Kirara shrugged.
"I have just one question," Shippo piped up. "How did they know we were coming?"
"Taiji!" Kirara growled and turned to face many demon exterminators.
"Demons," the leader glared. "For terrorizing the village, you will die!"
"What the hell! Wait a damned minute! The villagers attacked us! We were defending ourselves!" Shippo shouted.
"Quiet demons! You have no rights!"
"Sango, do you wish to enlighten your brethren?" Miroku asked.
"LEAVE MY FRIENDS ALONE!" Sango charged in to stand between the hunters and her friends. "I AM TAIJI! THESE DEMONS WOULD HURT NONE! UNLESS PROVOKED!"
"Um, we were just here to see if I was a reincarnation of Sango-sama's pet demon cat," Kirara swallowed hard when the hunters came closer.
"If you attack you will be attacking one of your own, two innocent hanyous, four demons, a human child, a miko, and a monk!" Sango growled.
"MIKO! MONK!" the Taiji begged forgiveness and fled.
"Sango!" Kirara hugged the taiji happily.
"Kirara, are you guys okay?" Sango asked worriedly.
"We're okay. That was awesome!" Shippo cheered.
"Can we try to go see the baba now?" Wren sighed.
"Wren?" Kirara looked very concerned at her friend.
"Keh!" Wren Inu snorted.
"Let's try again," Kagome announced.
