Saiko walked slowly down the path back to the forest and Shippo sat on her shoulder looking around at the forest and all the flowers that were around the pathway. Saiko looked back at Shippo on her shoulder out of the corner of her eye and smiled. He is kind of really cute for a little kid. Saiko thought and smiled when Shippo turned from what he had been looking at and looked at her.
"So where are we going? Back to where we first meet ya?" He asked and she smiled.
"Yes we are going to the edge of the village, that is where it is peaceful and quite and no one will bother us." Saiko said and sniffed the air lightly and then she stopped and looked around cautiously.
"What's the matter?" Shippo asked his voice showing that he was a little scared at her actions.
Saiko slowly reached up and picked Shippo off her shoulder and sat him down at her feet and then she reached and pulled her golden sword she had, had out earlier out and then she looked back down at Shippo.
"Get back to the village and stay with your friends," She said and then something started to make the trees crack and break as it made its way toward Saiko and Shippo.
"But." Shippo started to say when he saw what was coming toward her.
"No buts just go!" Saiko yelled and then she kind of shoved him toward the village.
Shippo didn't argue any more he just set out at a dead run for the village that Saiko lived in. "I've gotta get Inuyasha and Miroku they can help Saiko." Shippo said to himself as he ran as hard as he could.
Back With Saiko.
She looked around cautiously, and then her attention fell on a whirl wind of dust coming toward her. "What the heck!" She yelled and barely dodged the dust cloud. She spun around on her heal and watched the swirling cloud of dirt and dust closely as he spun in front of her.
All of a sudden the wind and the dust settled down and Saiko could see what was inside the cloud of dust.
"Who.who are you?" She asked the figure standing the place of the dust whirl wind now.
He was a young man with long blackish blue hair that was put up into a high ponytail and he has a dark brown fur head band holding back his hair out of his eyes, which are a teal color with speaks of black in them. He has a black kimono pants on and no shirt on. By his side is a sword and a small dagger hung by the sword. He has a dark blackish blue wolf tail behind him that was swishing calmly as he looked at Saiko.
He kind of laughed and smirked at Saiko before he spoke. "My name is Kyofu, and you are?" He asked and looked at her closely.
"Uhm." Saiko said as she just stared at him wide eyed.
"Do you have a name?" He asked and kind of laughed at her look toward him.
"Yes I have a name..." Saiko said in defense.
"Well.what is it?" Kyofu asked and looked at her and crossed his arms waiting for her to answer his question.
"My name is Saiko, why would you care and what are you doing so close to this human village?" She asked and looked at him and then she turned and walked over to a stump and sat down and kept her hand on the handle of her sword.
"I was just passing through the forest and I sensed a demon this way." He said and smiled at her. "And I thought I would check it out since it was so luring." Kyofu said and looked Saiko up and down where she was sitting. "And you are quite beautiful if you don't mind me saying Saiko." He said and started toward her.
She flung her sword from its sheath and pointed it at Kyofu's neck before he could blink an eye. "You move one more inch near me and you won't breathe another breath." Saiko said and glared at him with her fangs showing.
"Your feisty I'll give you that Saiko," Kyofu said and then with a blur of black Kyofu had his dagger at Saiko's throat.
She started to sweat in fear as she looked back at him out of the corner of her eye. "What do you want from me?" She asked and tried to free herself from his grip and wiggled away from the dagger about to cut her neck.
"I just want to have some fun with you," He said and licked the side of her face and she shivered with fear and tried to move away from him.
"Get the hell away from her!" Inuyasha's voice yelled and then a huge crash was heard from his sword slamming into the ground between Saiko and Kyofu.
Saiko almost fell over because of her being so scared. She looked over at Inuyasha and smiled. "Thank you Inuyasha.wasn't it?" She asked as she rubbed her neck and got into a fighting stance to help Inuyasha fight Kyofu.
"Yea, get back out of the way I don't need your help to fight him.you'll only get in the way." Inuyasha said and charged toward Kyofu and he created another whirl wind and blew Inuyasha away from him like Inuyasha was a rag doll.
"Are you ok?" Saiko asked as she ran over to Inuyasha and looked at him worriedly.
"Get the hell away from me wench I'm fine," Inuyasha said and shoved Saiko away from him and glared at Kyofu.
Saiko watched Inuyasha and Kyofu and then she felt a hand on her shoulder and turned around to see her mother smiling at her. "Yes mother?" Saiko asked as she turned to look at her mother.
"Saiko my dear let Inuyasha fight alone, he can win as long as he doesn't have to worry about making sure you are safe." She said and smiled at Saiko when she got a slight blush on her face.
"He doesn't have to worry about me," She said and turned and walked back toward the group that was standing back watching to see if Inuyasha needed any help.
Kagome watched Saiko walk toward where she was standing and lean against a tree and watch Inuyasha with a worried expression on her face. She smiled and walked over to Saiko and stood next to her for a few minutes and then she finally said something.
"Don't worry Saiko; Inuyasha knows what he's doing." Kagome said and watched Inuyasha fight as she talked to Saiko.
"What do you mean he knows what he's doing?" Saiko asked and turned to look at Kagome.
"He has been fighting demons and even evil humans the whole time I have been with him, he may act mean and say he doesn't care about you but he has a good heart and is kind and caring but he just doesn't seem to want to show it to any one." Kagome said and smiled kindly and then she turned and looked toward where she had just looked away from to find Kyofu lying with his face in the dirt and Inuyasha with Tetsuiaga on his shoulder glaring down at Kyofu.
"See..." Kagome said and smiled back at Saiko and then she ran over to Inuyasha who was now sheathing Tetsuiaga.
Saiko just stood and watched Inuyasha for a minute and the she jumped a little when someone touched her arm.
"Saiko my dear lets go home, there is nothing we can do here." Her mother said and turned and started walking slowly back toward the village.
Saiko turned and walked a little way and then she stopped and looked back. "He really is a caring at heart I think." She said to herself and then she noticed that her mother was a good way to the village already so she sprinted off into a slight run catching up with her mother.
Back With Inuyasha and Gang.
"Are you ok Inuyasha?" Kagome asked as she looked over at Kyofu who was now in a pool of his own blood.
"Yea why wouldn't I be?" Inuyasha asked in his normal cold tone and then he noticed that two people were missing.
Miroku also noticed it too and looked around but couldn't find neither of them anywhere. "Kagome where did Saiko and her mother go? They were here just a minute or two ago." He said and looked at Kagome waiting for her answer.
"They must have decided to go back to the village." Kagome said as she turned and looked where she thought Saiko and her mother had been.
Inuyasha looked down toward the village where he could see Saiko and her mother's hut and then he kind of smirked at remembering her wanting to help him fight.
Kagome got right up in Inuyasha's face and looked at him kind of weird.
He turned and looked at her and then he glared a death glare at her. "What?!" He asked in an angry tone.
"Nothing." She said and smiled when she figured out what he was smirking about.
"No! Hey wait what did that mean!?" Inuyasha asked and chased after Kagome when she started to kind of run away down toward the village.
"It meant nothing!" Kagome yelled back at him as she ran.
Author's Note: For the reviewer who asked Saiko is around Inuyasha's ago but she does act a little younger and immature sometimes in the story. Please review this chapter and tell me what you think of this chapter. Thanks
