Thank you all for your reviews, and, Sora Moto, I will start remembering to describe what Kagome is wearing.
Inu-youkai- Dog demon
Kitsune- Fox
A Single Red Rose
Shape Shifting Madness: Enter the Kitsune Shippo
Two days, and lots of Miroku and Inuyasha bashing, later found our group with an added fire cat that had caught up with its mistress and in new territory. Now that Sango and Miroku had joined Kagome and Inuyasha did more walking than usual, making a certain hanyou grumble about slow humans. But a compromise had been reached. When Inuyasha wanted to run, as long as his urges to move faster were within reasonable time spaces, the monk and his wife would ride on Kirara. This was met with a few more grumbles but also an agreement on the hanyous' part.
At the moment the group was standing out side a shield of bluish colored fire. Inuyasha had tired to go through but had gotten thrown back with his shirt making a slight sizzle sounds, Miroku had tried and the same thing happened to him, Sango had the brains enough not to try so all three of them were looking at Kagome.
"What?! What makes you think -I- can get through? You guys couldn't." She was starting to get freaked out by the stares she was receiving.
"But maybe it repels just humans. It could have repelled Inuyasha because he is half human. You on the other hand are full youkai." Miroku made a show of that statement by making his voice all serious while holding his left hand in front of his chest in a prayer like position, his eyes closed.
"Come on Kagome just go through the damned shield already and find a way to disarm it." Inuyasha had found a place under a tree to stand with his head bowed and his arms crossed over his chest.
Growling at him Kagome mumbled about stupid hanyous' that needed attitude adjustments. So, taking a deep breath she held out a clawed hand and, ever so slowly, moved her hand towards the shield. Her left eye was squeezed shut while her right was narrowed to see if anything bad would happen. Then suddenly something rammed into her back and she tumbled forward, into and through the barrier. Whipping around to glare at the person who dared do so she was surprised to see that she was being looked at strangely. "Whoever did that will pay!" Well, if she hadn't been pushed she could just her Miroku since Inuyasha hadn't moved from his tree and the monk was the only one that would have done it. Sango was too nice.
Brushing her hands down her sides to smooth out imaginary wrinkles from the miko cloths that Kaede had lent she looked around where she was. "Okay so maybe they had been right about only youkai being able to go through." But that didn't make sense. Obviously the shield was meant to keep things out and youkai were more treating that humans. Glancing back over her shoulder at the others before she started to move further she stopped in the middle of some sort of clearing. There were trees and bushes surrounding an area that had a small spring in it and the sent of a youkai was in the air. "Hmm…"
As she looked around she was to late to notice the shadow that had suddenly lurked over her and a scaly green hand close over her mouth while an arm just as green and scaly pinned her arms to her sides as it went around her waist. "You dare enter my territory!" The voice had a slight hiss to it, meaning the youkai that held her was a snake, and clawed fingers dug slightly into the flesh of her cheek. "You will die for thisssss."
'Wait a minute! I'm an inu-youkai! And inu-youkai are stronger than snake youkai!' Growling lowly against the hand she managed to slam her elbows back into the body behind her, successfully making the thing let go of her. Leaping away she spun to face the youkai, crouched low in a fighting stance. But what she saw was not a snake that was green and scaly but something furry and reddish orange. 'A kitsune?!' Her eye began to twitch as she watched the kitsune right itself while rubbing its abdomen. 'A really cute kitsune. Gah! Bad Kagome!'
"You have pointy elbows you know that?" The kit was glaring at her with, what seemed like, icy emerald colored eyes.
Kagome huffed and straightened herself, folding her arms over her waist while glaring back at him. "Well if -you- hadn't threatened to kill me -maybe- I wouldn't have done that."
The kit just growled and glared at her even more, dropping his arms to his sides. "Well if -you- hadn't passed through my fox fire then niter one of would have had to worry about this confrontation." Why was it he kept egging her on? Was it because she looked cute when her eyes flashed with anger and her sent flared, a whiff of vanilla and roses reached his nose. 'She smells good.' The kit shook his head. "Anyway I'm Shippo and how -did- you pass through my fox fire? It was supposed to keep -everything- out that wasn't already in."
'So Miroku and the others had been wrong. I was supposed to be blocked from entering also. So then how -did- I get in?' "Uh, I'm Kagome and you've got me on that one."
