Once Shippo had fallen into a deep sleep I removed him from my head and allowed him to cuddle in my arms. I smiled down at him, my motherly instincts again prevailing. I wanted to protect this little cub. He would be the reason why I stayed with Kagome and nothing else. Suddenly I was aware of Kagome cautiously approaching me and I couldnt help but chuckle to myself. Without looking up from the kit in my lap, I said, "You can come over, you know. I wont bite... well, not you at least."
Kagome's surprise was evident as she gasped, apparently unaware that I could sense her presence. At last she came and sat beside me, her eyes troubled as though she was searching for something to say. Again I chuckled.
"You have a question to ask. Go ahead. I have no problem with it."
She smiled gratefully at my permission and began, "Well, I guess my first question is how did you become what you are? I mean, at school you appear to be a normal girl." She blushed, obviously remembering my eyes and ears. "Err.. except for a couple things."
I sighed. "Both of my parents were shapeshifters. My mother a panther, and my father a falcon. When they got married and had me, they were sure that I would be either one or the other... they never expected both." Before Kagome could ask a question, I hurried on. "I was born during a time of struggle. My parents were a part of an elite fighting team that was trained to kill at any cost. They were protecting our planet when out of no where the enemy breeched the defenses. Both mother and father wished to die for our people, but they wanted me to live. So, I was sent here to be reborn over a thousand years later and live out my life normally. Heh, but I guess they didnt count on my genes remaining the same." I looked up at Kagome. She had questions burning in her brain and I could tell that it was going to take a while to get everything worked out.
"So wait. You're from the past, technically. So why'd you seem surprised to come back five-hundred years to the Warring States when you'd already been here?" she asked.
"I dunno, really. Anything about the past creeps me out a little. I guess it's just knowing that my parents died so long ago and that I was going back in time to just after the war stopped."
Kagome nodded in understanding. "So, you're a shapeshifter then? But, if you're both cat and bird what do you call yourself?"
I smiled at her. This girl was an inquisitive one. "An angel of darkness. Well, thats what my adoptive mother calls me. The whole black fur and then having angel-like wings I suppose."
Kagome laughed, much to my surprise. "Well, can I just call you Namir?"
I laughed with her. "Of course, of course."
"I see nothing to laugh about here."
Both mine and Kagome's eyes shot up at Inuyasha's tree. The silver-haired boy jumped down, landed gracefully and came to sit by us.
"Oh come on, Inuyasha. She's okay. And anyway, you should be thankful. With her skills and your own, we'll be able to take Sesshoumaru and whatever he throws at us." Kagome gently nudged the dog demon who just sat and stared at me.
I was becoming uncomfortable around Inuyasha and began having a slight argument with my subconscious.
*begin inner turmoil*
What's going on with you? He's just a demon. I dont care... there's something about him....b *gasp* You like him dont you?! bNo! Dont be silly! Although... it is nice to meet someone like myself.... Snap out of it, girl! He still has a thing for Kagome so it's not like he'll be noticing you anytime soon. Shut up! I dont like him so just leave it at that!
*end inner turmoil*
"Namir? Hey, you in there?" Kagome was tapping on my head, trying to snap my out of my trance. I shook myself, trying to push my thoughts to the back of my mind.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I lied. "Just a little tired, thats all."
"Well, you probably ought to sleep anyway. We get up pretty early and I'm not waiting for your winged ass," Inuyasha growled. I just stared at him. Heh, he has fangs, too...
"What? Why the hell are you looking at me like that? Snap out of it. Hmph, stupid cat," Inyasha muttered as he got up to find Miroku and return to his tree to sleep. Just as he got up I reached out and SLASH! put four nice red claw marks on his back. With a yelp he whipped around, growling, and rushed me for the second time that evening. Just as he was about a foot away I heard Kagome scream, "SIT, BOY!" and the next thing I knew, Inuyasha was face down in the dirt. I looked at her, rather stunned that a human girl could have that sort of power over a demon like Inuyasha. When I turned to ask her where that had come from she said, "Long story, I'll tell you sometime. Oh, and I'm not your regular teenage girl either. I'm the reincarnation of the great priestess Kikyo. See, we all have our little secrets to hold." She winked and spoke again, "Inuyasha's right though. We had better get some sleep. I sense a jewel shard nearby." And with a slight kick in Inuyasha's ribs, she was gone, leaving me with Shippo and an irate halfbreed.
I snorted and curled up, covering both myself and the snoring Shippo with my wings. "I'm going to sleep. I'll see you in the morning." Inuyasha just rolled his eyes and jumped into his tree. I closed my eyes and tried to sleep.
*~ yes, i'm aware its INCREDIBLY confusing, lol. but hopefully you all get the gist of it and if not lemme know so that i can change stuff, okay??? thanks a bunch. oh, and let me know what you think about having a couple small parts in Inuyasha's POV, okiez?~*
