Kat didn't turn around at the warning from the young hanyou. "No need to worry. I know exactly what is following, and it won't harm anyone." She shifted the baby Camren to a better position on her back.
"What is it?" Shido asked. He picked up his pace to be closer to the youkai.
"It's a small swarm of bee youkai," she said off handedly. She shrugged, "They won't hurt us."
"If Naraku was still around I would think otherwise," Miha said. She also moved closer to the others. Everyone seemed to unconsciously move into a tight group.
"Why would they be following us?" Kisa asked.
"Maybe we just passed their hive," Ryu offered. "They could just be protecting it."
"Not likely. I think they do mean us harm," Miha said to Kat.
Kat didn't say anything as she seemed to be trying to find out just why everyone was worried, "Look. I'm not going to place harm in my childs way. If they ment business, then they would have attacked!"
Just as she had finished her sentance they came from the bushes. They started to come after the hanyou children first. They tried to sting Ryu as he fought them off using anything he could think. "Why did mom insist on cutting our nails!"
"Ah! Ryu!" Chiann called as she was attacked. Ryu looked over and saw that most of the swarm had gone after the young hanyou girls. Kisa was doing a great job defending herself and her cousin, but she wouldn't hold out for long.
He hit another bee back and looked to where Shido was. The human boy and miko girl were fighting together. His eyes roamed to the youkai with child. The child was still holding onto her back as Kat moved effortlessly to keep the bees away. He ran over to the young hanyou girls and started to help his cousin.
Chiann sat between the two and like a coward, but she didn't care. She knew that if her father were there he would repriment her for letting others fight where she was just as good as the others. She didn't care though, she was the baby. The one that didn't need to fight because her brothers always took care of her. She watched as a bee got passed the other two and in her fright she batted it away with ease. "Ah! Get 'em away!"
"Chiann! Get up and help us!" Kisa yelled. She nudged the girl with her foot. "Get up you worthless piece of shit!"
Ryu stopped for a second on the mention of the cuss word. "Hey!"
"Watch it!" Kisa yelled as she hit a bee that almost stung him. "Pay attention!"
Ryu didn't say any more as he killed yet another couple of the bees. He decided that he would take care of the insult on his sister later. For now he was content in helping to keep Chiann safe. "She doesn't have to fight!" he yelled at his cousin. The hanyou with claws just sniffed angerly and continued to fight.
Everytime the killed a bee it seemed as though more came from the trees and bushes. They fought until they started feeling fatigued and the sun started to set. "Don't bees go into their hive when the sun goes down?" Ryu called as he hit three more bees away from them.
"Their youkai, you tell me!" Kat called back. Her breath was starting to come in short gasps, and her son had started to cry. No one knew if Camren had been stung or was just trying to be difficult.
"I want this to end! I'm tired and hungry!" Shido whinned as he used his small sword to chop some more youkai bees to bits. "I want this to end!"
"Well, kill them all!" Miha yelled at the little boy behind her. "Like this!" She pointed an arrow inbetween the youkai group. It started to glow a light pink, then she released it and all the youkai bees fell to the ground twitching. Everyone stared at her with open eyes now that they didn't fight anymore.
"How did you do that?" Ryu asked. The kids all nodded their agreement to the question.
"Easy, I just put all my Miko power into my arrow and released it," she said like it was nothing.
"Then why aren't we dead?" Kat asked. Her question meaning the hanyous and her youkai son too.
"I directed the power to them only," Miha said. She stood like she was now ready to attack them as well, if anything were to proceed from her admitting something wrong.
"Can that be possible though? My mom always said that even the strongest of Miko have to be careful if they have friends who have any youkai blood at all," Shido said. He stood next to the girl, but now was moving slowly back to his friends. "Could you really have done that?"
"I did didn't I?" she said. Her voice held fear.
'Fear of what though?' Ryu asked. His mind raced, but he could't think of anything that could make her afraid of them. "Fine, you did.
"Let's go before sunset. We have to find a camp, but I rather be away from here." He watched as Kat nodded and started leading again. As the hanyou girls once again went to the end of the line and the humans right infront of them. He followed Kat. They walked on for about a couple of hours.
"Kat, let's hurry and find a place so that we can hunt," Ryu said in a form of an order.
"Yeah, sure kid," Kat didn't sound thrilled to be following someone who was way younger then her.
Ryu sighed. 'Why can't Dev be here instead of me?' he asked himself as he rubbed a painful scratch he recived while fighting the bees. It had started to become a huge bump, but he wasn't worried.
///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///
Dev stood watching the sun set over the trees. "And what if I do what you said? Can I go home?"
Ashi stepped from the shadows that came from the sun rays. "I will let you go home. First, though, you have to do everything I say."
"I'll do it. I just want to go home," he never took his blank face from the setting yellow orb.
A strong wind shoved through the trees causing patterns to fall onto the father and son. It travelled through the whole forest causing animals to hind and run from it's menacing feel. They knew something was coming. Something soon.
///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///
Chiann shivered into her arms as the wind came over their small clearing. Camren started to cry, and she went over to him and gathered the little youkai child into her arms. "It's o-o-kay," she stuttered. She pulled the baby closer to her even though he had stopped crying. They both held eachother for comfort.
"Okay," the baby answered as he held her too.
"Yes, okay. They'll be right back, and we'll have food too. See, we have to make a fire, want to help?" she looked at the little boy. "You look like Uncle Shippo in the pictures mommy shows me," she told Camren.
"Shippo?" he asked.
"Yeah, he's a kitsune.
"C'mon, let's get the fire started," she stood up, the boy also forced to stand. They walked to where everyone had made a fire pit. "See, all the wood is there and Ryu gave me his lighter."
They set to work on using dry leaves as Chiann had seen her camp instructor at home use paper when she had gone camping. 'This is different though,' she thought, 'We NEED to hunt to get food this time. Not play hunt.' She started to feed the fire sticks and things as it grew into a large, bright, hot flower. Camren watched amazed as the flames danced in the night air.
///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///***///
Ryu stalked a small rabbit. His body crouched low in the wood as he was about to pounce and maybe even give chase. The rabbit perked up and looked away from the setting sun into the East. Her ears looked to where she could't see. They twitched at a sound even Ryu couldn't hear. He felt a chill run down into his core as he watched the rabbit also shake. He felt like he should run and hide. Like the world was coming to an end and he should hide, and not bring to it anything more. He held himself though, and watched as the rabbit didn't. It ran. He took chase. His hunger over-running him. And he knew he had to give this same rabbit to his little sister. In one swift sweep of his non-clawed hands he grabbed ahold of the rabbit by it's neck. A quick click insured the rabbits neck was broke.
A wind swept through the forest bringing a smell he reconized. "Dev?" he asked the wind as he looked again towards the East. He knew his older brothers scent, but it seemed old. Real old, as if it had travelled far. "Dev, where are you brother?"
He started to travell back towards the camp they made. He would tell Shido and Chiann what he smelled but not the others. He didn't trust Miha anymore, something about her made him feel vanurable. He didn't like that feeling.

Quick Note: Sorry for the delay in the up-date. My computer here has been acting wierd. My sister brought her friends over and they have fixed it so far. Hopefully it will work for the next up-date!
A/N: I promise I will get the next chapter out soon (I will up-date on Friday the 22. Voting will only last till the 21 at the lastest). I'm going through somethings right now. And I've been just trying to read instead of write because of them. Also, it didn't help that I forgot what I was going to write. I had a huge writers block. I also think reviewing will help a lot. Thanks.
Again I'm going to ask this question only because not enough people answered it. I don't have enough votes for thre three finalist. And these are who you have to answer for.
QUESTION: If one of these could some how be thrown back through the well to help the kids who would you want to help them? Kagome? Shippo? or InuYasha? Choose wisely! ^_^ (You may choose other if you truely feel it. It could help anothers case! ^_^)
