Chapter 4 - Eyes on me
****************************************************************
In a large forest, far away from any human villages. Away from merchants and most demons, lived an very unusual girl.
Now if you happen to be passing by the forest, you might have noticed an odd sight running through the lumonescent lower forest canopy one day in mid summer.
She had long raven hair flying behind her. Her clothes were perculiar, but well fitting on her small built form. A black, and midnight blue with weapons tied on her back and waist. On her feet she wore nothing.. not even sandals.
The woman ran at a fast pace, her large sapphire eyes concentrated and straight foward.
On her shoulder sat a small kitsune with red hair and emerald eyes seemingly used to this sort of thing.
She was wild and untamed, yet sophisticated and inteligent.
Just like the animals that raised her, and what she had become.
The great wolves of Haijira mountain, and their princess living among them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome sniffed again and growled. There were several new scents in this territory, and they were making her edgy and irratable.
How dare they trespess on wolf grounds! Any youkai could sense the markers of their domains!
The kitsune at her shoulder asked
"Okaa-san?" He asked quietly.
"Yes Shippou?"
"Where are we going?"
"There are new scents coming our way. I've been sent by Kaiten to warn them back in to human territories. The only thing is out of all the scents it seems only three and a half are human..." She said roughly still running, and dodging tree roots.
The kit was confused.
" 'And a half?' how is that possible?"
"A hanyou. A dog one by the smell of it.." She growled. HE should have at least new of the marks! Oh would he pay!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Inu yasha!!" The taijiya called from atop a large fire cat demon. A large boomerang slung on her back. There was also a monk behind her, a serious look plastered to his face.
"What!??!" He growled back.
"Are you sure he went in to this forest?!" The monk yelled.
"Yes so keep movin'!!"
He doubled his speed, and the fire cat chased after him. The woman holding on to the ruff of fur at its neck to keep from falling off.
They carried on for about five minutes until they started down an narrow valley surrounded on both sides by tan rocks that towered well over twenty feet above them.
Suddenly Kirara turned her head to the side roaring slightly to let her mistress know something was up, and most likely dangerous.
With out a second thought Sango launched her boomerang in to the forest yelling
"HIRAKOTSU!!!"
It cut through the branches like paper.
They saw a flash of black as it dodged it expertly, sliding to the side, and skidding to a stop at the edge to peer down and up at the intruders with ease.
Her eyes were narrowed, blue slits that glittered dangerously.
All Inu yasha could do was gawk.
A woman in black clothes stood proudly above him, hands on hips and looking down at him dangerously. Strands of her hair swoshed around her face at the sudden stop, giving her an unearthly apperance.
What made the picture even more unusual was the small kitsune perched on her shoulder calmly.
A scent suddenly filled his nose -an intoxicating scent of springtime flowers- coming from her. With the kitsune marring her scent.
He growled.
"Who are you and what are you doing tresspassing on our lands?!!?!" She snarled her lips curling up in an wolfish fashion.
"We're chasing a wolf through these parts!" Miroku shouted, a handsome grin on his face trying to impress the woman before him.
She just glared boredly at him.
"Wolf?" She growled softly.
"Yes a strong youkai wolf by the name of--" Sango was cut by a yell from Inuyasha.
" ' STRONG?!!?' THAT WIMPY WOLF!!? I COULD TAKE HIM ANYDAY!!"
Kagome flinched shouting herself
"Shut up your hurting my ears!!!"
He looked at her dumbfounded. She continued.
"You have no buisness traveling through these parts. Leave now and I won't attack you!"
He snorted.
"You? hurt us?! I know your scent! YOur nothing but a human!!"
She growled
"And as can I smell the human in you - hanyou."
He stared at her in shock.
"How did..?"
Suddenly Kagome's head whipped to the side at the cry of wolves -not her packs but wolves. She then caught sight of a whirlwind coming their way.
Heading straight to the unoticed eyes of the hanyou.
In a flash she unsheathed her dagger and leapt off the ridge. The taijiya gasped in shock.
Kagome leapt in front of the hanyou, and deflected the blow the whirlwind would have inflicted apon his cheek, with her dagger.
She staggered slightly but pushed it away.
The whirlwind leapt back, and she was surprised to see it transform in t a youkai with long black hair in a pony tail and shocking blue eyes.
She held her dagger in front of her ready for attack, as they tudied each other.
"Who are you and what are you doing on our lands?!" She barked. he growled.
"Quiet wench! These are wolves land not some stinking human!"
She ignored him.
"I asked you a question! Who are you?!"
"I am Kouga, leader of the wolf demon clan in the northern lands."
Kagome's lessons from Rei shot through her mind and she relaxed, sheathing her dagger in the process.
"What?! What do you think your doing wench!?!" The hanyou shouted. She glared at him.
"His clan has a treaty with the ruling wolves in this land. He has right to be here. Unlike you four."
Inuyasha looked throughly angry now.
'What the hell are you talking about!?!"
Kouga intervened.
"She is right only I'm wondering how you know that. What is your name?"
She snorted.
"I do not have to give you any answers..."
She turned to the other band of people saying
"I expect all of you out of these lands by sunset or I will be forced to attack. Now I have to go deal with OTHER trespassers."
Without another word, she started off at a run and started leaping up gracefully on the side of the valley's sides until on higher ground where she lauched off at a inhuman speed.
Leaving all others in the dust.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kagome sighed. Of all the days for the racoon clan to try to take over their lands.
She had been forced to dispose of a few and let the others carry back the message not to attack again if they valued their survival.
Kagome neared the cave entrance, catching a new scent in her nose. It was new-yet slightly familiar.. like the smell of the early morning dew on the trees.
She shook the trival thoughts from her head, as she ran through the entrance a sleeping Shippou in her arms calling out in her wolf tounge
"Kaiten! Rei! I'm back from patrol!"
"Good Kagome. Come here there is someone here I'd like you to meet." Kaiten's voice called back to her.
She smiled happily.
If Kaiten wanted her to meet somebody it had to be important.
She padded softly in the main den, saying
"Yes?"
On her bed sat Kaiten on his haunches and another taller built figure that belonged to no other than-
"Kagome I'd like you to meet Kouga."
he smirked back at her.
"Ah so that is how you knew of the treaty. You are part of this tribe."
She nearly growled in disgust but held it back for the sake of her father figure.
She turned to him expectantly. Catching her distress he continued.
"He is here seeking an allliance between us and his tribe to fight the harppies threating his lands. What is your opinion on such a alliance?"
She frowned thinking, and sade in a thoughtful tone
"Well it all depends if the foe is worth the trouble or not. If the alliance were to be good for all tribes that might be threatened by these 'Harpies' then I say yes. But if is a weak foe and not worth the trouble or lost of our members then no. That is what I think."
Kaiten nodded and struck up another conversation with Kouga who remained transfixed on her.
She glared at him, yelling to Kaiten
"I'm rather restless. I'm going for a run. I'm taking Shippou-chan with me."
She tore out of the cave like the devil was at her heels. Maybe they were. His gaze was overwhelming. And she had to get away, before she was lost anymore in his surprised blue eyes and soft lips..
She shook her head angriliy.
Where were these toughts COMING from!?!?
She sighed, at continued running.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kouga turned back to Kaiten when he had stopped talking to look at him quizically.
"What is it?" He asked irratibly. Kaiten grinned.
"That look it your eyes. It came from my adopted daughter no?"
Kouga flushed.
"I don't know what you mean."
"Yes. She is quite beautiful.." Kaiten continued as if not hearing the young leaders words. "She is a strong one. I find myself doubting that she is even human."
"But she IS." Kouga corrected. Kaiten smirked mysteriously
"I wouldn't be so sure about that.."
"What do you mean?" He aske curous. The wolf just shook his head.
"That is not the point. I know that look, and thoughts of young male wolves . When looking at a female he desires to become his mate.. Is that how you feel about Kagome?"
Kouga blushed standing up.
"This conversation is over for tonight. we shall resume in the morning."
He ran out of the cave away from the odd old wolf. What the hell was he talking about any way? Not human? of course she was! A disgusting, resentful human wench!
even as he thought thishe hadn't noticed his nose had taken control, and his legs were following..
...Straight towards Kagome.
