I don't own Inuyasha, and you should know that by now!
Chapter 7
The Prince Has Returned
"Thank you, Uncle," Wren nods formally at Sesshomaru.
"Wren!" Kirara runs up to the two dog demons. "Something is headed our way, and it's moving fast!"
"What?" Wren turns, to find himself, facing Kirara's nervous face.
"Sesshomaru-sama, what is that putrid scent?" Riana covers her nose with her sleeve.
"It can't be…" Shippo growls and moves to stand in front of Riana.
"Shippo?" Wren frowns.
"Wolf," Sesshomaru narrows his eyes.
"Koga," Shippo snarls angrily.
"Oh SHIT!" Kirara hides behind Wren in a blink of an eye.
"Kirara?" Riana questions.
"He's a stupid wolf demon that likes to claim women as his own," Kirara hisses, grasping the back of Wren's shirt nervously.
A bit of wind is moving quickly towards them, and then it stops, "Where is Kagome?"
"Does he not know how to bathe?" Riana grumbles as his stench assaults her delicate nose.
"What did you just say?" Koga turns and looks murderously at Riana.
"You heard me, wolf," Riana snorts. "Your stench is appalling, you should bathe more. A pig smells better than you."
"And who are you supposed to be, the fox's mate?" Koga walks up and slaps Riana to the ground. Shippo growls while helping Riana up. Koga smirks, "I came here for my woman and you won't get in my way."
"Stupid wolf," Kirara hisses angrily. Kirara begins to growl and steps out from behind Wren, "How dare you hit my friend!" Kirara's eyes flash angrily at him. "And how dare you assume that Kagome is yours! She's mated and died with her mate!"
"Oh, is that so?" Koga sneers.
"I saw their corpses, wimpy wolf," Kirara narrows her eyes. "You have no idea who all stands before you. You should use better manners." Kirara smirks.
"You," Koga points to Wren. "Why do you smell like my Kagome and dog-breath?"
"My father's name was Inuyasha. Get it right, wolf-scum," Wren growls.
"So, the wench speaks the truth," Koga snorts. "Well, I'll just have to pick a new woman." He looks at Kirara and Riana. "I guess that makes you my new woman, girl," he smirks at Kirara.
"No way in bloody hell!" Kirara growls, "That's the last straw!" Kirara draws Fang and holds it in front of her. "I hate wolves! I hate you, Koga! I'll never be your woman! You arrogant, stuck-up, son of a whore!"
"K-Kirara?" Riana and Shippo stare at her in shock. Sesshomaru just blinks in amusement.
"Woman, you have a foul mouth and a temper. You'll make a good mate," Koga smirks.
"Chauvinistic, pig-headed, asshole! You are among the pond scum and manure of this earth!" Kirara hisses threateningly. "I refuse to be claimed as yours! I will choose whom I mate with, and it won't be a wolf!"
"Oh, and I suppose you'd choose an inu or a kitsune?" Koga laughs.
"I would," Kirara states. Koga stops laughing, "In fact, I'm already in a relationship with another, and he just happens to be an inu."
"What?" Koga gasps out.
Wren smirks at the look on Koga's face when Kirara walks up to the wolf and sniffs him, "Riana is right. You reek." Kirara walks back to where Sesshomaru and Wren stand.
Kirara stands next to Wren and he places his arm around her, "You know… it's not polite to be in my uncle's presence with your wretched scent. I suggest you leave." Wren looks out of the corner of his eye, to see Kirara leaning into him, while playing with her 'Fang'. Kirara's eyes remain angry as she watches Koga leave.
"Impressive show, nephew," Sesshomaru chuckles. "You've found yourself an interesting mate, even if she is part neko."
"You knew?" Wren blinks at his uncle.
"Nephew, I am a full inu youkai, my nose is better than yours," Sesshomaru raises his eyebrow.
"Sesshomaru-sama! Rin wants to know if Rin can take Kirara nee-san and Riana nee-san to Sesshomaru-sama's and Rin's home!"
"We are heading there now Rin, and they will be staying with us for a bit," Sesshomaru's eyes soften a bit as he gazes at Rin.
"Riana," Kirara pulls her friend aside. "Do you use a bow?"
"Yes," Riana replies in confusion.
"I think you should have Kagome's bow. It keeps pulsing and it wants to go to you," Kirara smiles as she hands the bow and quiver full of arrows to the kitsune-vampire.
"Thank you, Kirara," Riana accepts the gift and goes off to find Shippo.
"Kirara, you need a long distance weapon," Wren frowns.
"I have one."
"Neko-hanyou," Sesshomaru calls out, catching Kirara's attention.
"Hai, Sesshomaru?"
"Why are you packing?"
"Oh! I don't want to overstay our welcome, and we've enough camping equipment to travel until we try to go back through the well. Plus, I want to go to the God tree and see what it looks like in this time. That and everyone, including Shippo, are curious about what Feudal Japan looks like and how the people and demons act. So, I think Wren is planning for us to leave in the morning, plus it wouldn't be good for your reputation to have a neko hanyou under your roof for too long, other demons might think your going soft."
"I see you think about politics, neko hanyou."
"Sesshomaru, my given name is Kirara. I am the reincarnation of Sango's pet neko youkai, who originally belonged to the miko that created the Shikon no Tama. So, I would appreciate it if you would call me by my name."
"As you wish, Kirara."
