Nieva, Part Two
*~*
Even as she sat on the cold mat of Kaede's hut, suffering from the wound inflicted on her side, she could smell it. The highly recognizable scent... of her mistress. But then... Sango's scent was... different.
Kirara couldn't place it, but it was different. Blinking her ruby eyes up at the door, she saw her mistress walk in, followed by the hanyou she was looking for. Relieved to see her beloved neko-youkai, Sango scooped up Kirara in her arms and sat on the matted floor. Kirara's nose wrinkled at her mistress' odd scent.
What was it mixed with?
It sure smelled like her mistress, but there was something different about it...
"You know, you two were gone for awhile," she heard the monk say. Kirara didn't pay attention. So long as she was being petted by her mistress.
However, that scent problem was grating on her nerves...
"I wonder what you two were doing?" Kirara closed her eyes as the monk was hit by both Inuyasha and Sango.
A spike in Sango's scent...!
Was that... embarrassment? Looking up to her mistress, whose face was oddly pink, Kirara was stumped. This was confusing.
"Pervert." Sango muttered. "We didn't do anything." Now Kirara heard Sango's heartbeat quicken. Was Sango lying?
"Yeah, like I'd want to do anything with her anyway," Inuyasha muttered.
Hey, Inuyasha's heartbeat went up too...
"And like I'd want to do anything with him!" Sango finished quickly.
Too quickly, if you asked Kirara...
But still... what was that scent mixed with Sango's? It was weak... yet familiar.
She had smelt it before... what could it be?
Tilting her head away from her mistress, she sniffed the air.
Her eyes reflected her confusion as she looked to Shippou, who was doing almost the same as she. Sniffing the air in Inuyasha's direction...
Her eyes narrowed, and she realized that Inuyasha was definitely lucky that she was injured...
"Ow! Sango, get your cat off me!" echoed throughout the village a half-hour later.
When Kagome returned, the first thing she saw was Inuyasha being chased by a now-transformed Kirara.

I'll be honest: I wasn't expecting to continue 'Nieva,' because it was intended to be a one-shot. But this idea ate at my head during Algebra (which is really bad...) And on my way home from school. So you all that were begging me for another chapter should be happy! ^_^ And I will not continue this!!
Thank you to kik, Rikou Suiyou (I know this couple's a lost cause in the series, but they act way too compatibly together), MissKagome (I honestly felt the same way before finding SandraE's treasure of a fic, "Chasing Methuselah."), Shinna, Inu-Fan Quistis Almasy!
