*~*~*~*Chapter 5 Friend Or Foe*~*~*~*
Siyango woke before dawn. She saw the wolf pup next to her as she sat up. She
picked it up and placed it on her lap. She stroked its fur, and scratched behind its ears.
"Good morning Moji," Siyango said as the wolf pup lifted up its head and yawned,
waking up after its night's rest.
"G'mornin' Si," Moji said as he stretched and looked around the cave. He noticed
the others as he had when he had walked into the cave in the middle of the night. "Hey Si,
what are they doing here?"
"Them? You know how I was taking care of the little fox? Well, these are his
friends," Siyango told him as she stroked his vibrant silver fur. Siyango quickly glanced at
Moji's paw, and picked it up. She looked at his fur enveloped face, and saw a small
grimace. Siyango looked worried. "Moji, what happened to your paw?"
"Er... Whatcha mean?" asked Moji as Siyango gave him a stern stare. "OK, OK,
I'll tell ya. I got attacked by a demon, that's why I was home so late. Please don't get
mad at me."
"Moji, why would I be mad at you? What did the demon look like?"
"Er... The demon was big, and vicious looking. It was covered in fur, and its eyes
glowed a vibrant red."
Siyango nodded and placed Moji gently on the floor of the cave. She walked over
to a cupboard, and took out a herbs, a mortar, and a pestle. Siyango started to crush the
herbs with the pestle in the mortar, and adding liquids and more herbs. Moji looked as she
mixed up the herbs expertly.
Siyango applied the mixture to Moji's paw, and wrapped it in a soft cloth bandage.
Moji cringed as the herbs were applied, for they stung a little on the wound.
Inuyasha awoke shortly after Moji's paw was done. He looked about the cave,
seeing the wolf pup he had seen earlier laying on the pile of furs where Siyango had once
slept. His gaze was transfixed on the wolf pup, until he heard Siyango call out to him.
"Mornin' Inuyasha, did you sleep well?" Siyango asked in a cheerful voice.
Inuyasha kinda looked at her oddly and yawned, but then spoke. "Er, ya, I slept
well, and mornin, er, whatever it is..."
Siyango shrugged, and started to add wood to the coals of the once vibrant fire.
The fire spluttered to life after a few minutes with the wood carefully placed on the coals.
Siyango started to cook something over the fire.
'What are you makin' over there?" Inuyasha asked.
"Me? I'm making some food for the morning meal," Siyango replied looking at
the fire.
"I've been meaning to ask, what is that wolf pup doing over there," Inuyasha said,
nodding to Moji.
"That's Moji, found him right after he was born, badly hurt, couldn't just leave him
there to rot," Siyango said fastly, as she mixed something over the fire.
Kagome and the others woke up to the smell of the food. Siyango greeted them
each as they woke up. Miroku was the last to awake by Inuyasha shaking him awake.
Siyango served them each some food when Miroku had finally been awaken.
Siyango did not eat, Inuyasha noted. The rest ate hurriedly, as to continue on their
adventure.
When they finished, they all jumped up, and headed for the cave exit, Siyango was
standing in their way.
"Siyango! Move your ass," Inuyasha said.
"Guys, and girls, please wait, I want to ask you something," Siyango said
hurriedly.
"Well, ask and then get the hell out of our way," Inuyasha said, clutching the
Tetsuseiga.
Siyango saw that Inuyasha was clutching his sword, getting ready to use it if he
had to.
"I...I want to come with you on your travels, please allow me to accompany you,"
Siyango said hopefully.
"What?! Why should we allow you to come with us?!" Inuyasha shouted.
"Inuyasha, don't be rude, I mean, she let us stay in her cave and fed us," Kagome
scolded Inuyasha. "If she wants to come, we should let her!"
"Why? So she can steal our our jewel shards? I don't think so, not one bit! I've
seen what she can do, believe me. I even bet she stole most of the shit in this cave! She
probably stole the damn cave too," Inuyasha ranted loudly.
"I did not steal my belongings, except what was from my fallen enemies that I
thought was interesting, or I needed. And I did not steal my cave here, it used to belong
to my parents," Siyango said
Oh, OK then, where are you parents?"
"They are dead..."
"Hmph...Probably stole their lives too."
"Inuyasha, what has gotten into you," Kagome shouted at Inuyasha.
"Well, don't you think that it is kind of suspicious that she wants to come with us,
when we just met, and that she knows everything about us, and we still don't know a
damn thing about her? I mean, come on, she didn't even eat this morning, now that is
suspicious!" Inuyasha finished.
Now it was Shippo's turn to speak out.
"Si never eats in the morning..." Shippo rang out.
"What the hell is a Si?" Inuyasha asked.
"Si is short for Siyango, so Siyango is Si, got it?" Shippo said, looking at
Inuyasha, for Inuyasha was obviously the only one who didn't get what Shippo had meant
by Si.
Siyango had not spoken for a while.
"So, you want to know about me? Fine, I'll tell you. I'll start from the beginning,
that way you will get the whole story," Siyango said as everyone stared at her for
suddenly speaking out.
Siyango woke before dawn. She saw the wolf pup next to her as she sat up. She
picked it up and placed it on her lap. She stroked its fur, and scratched behind its ears.
