Hiya, everybody! Guess what? I got to see YuYu Hakusho: Poltergeist Report this weekend. It was so good. I recommend it. The only thing that really bothered me was that the voices were so different. Grrrr. . . But at least I finally found out who Kuronue is!
Chappy 15: Enter Kori, the Kind and Gentle Youkai
Kagome woke up around one in the morning, feeling a rush of energy that was her soul returning. She couldn't help but wonder, what happened to Kikyou? She then noticed her math book lying open on her desk. 'I'll just go back to sleep. I'm gonna fail, anyways; I might as well get some rest.'
~~~~~~~~~~~Sengoku Jidai
"That wench better be back soon," Inu grumbled as he paced back and forth the next morning.
"Oh, Inuyasha," said Miroku in his usual carefree voice while trying to get closer to Sango's rear, "Give Lady Kagome a break. She has responsibilities in her time that she must take care of."
"She has responsibilities to take care of here! We can't get any more shards without the shard detector!"
Both Miroku and Sango rolled their eyes at this statement. Shippou did the same while shaking his head and folding his arms across his chest with that kawaii-ness he has. Kirara was taking a catnap.
No one noticed when Shippou disappeared. Then Inuyasha smelled a familiar scent. It was Kagome!! Just when he was about to insult her for taking so long, she interrupted him.
"Inuyasha! How dare you say those things about me! SIT!"
Inu was on the ground by reflex, when he noticed that the spell wasn't keeping him down as it usually did. That's when he heard the annoying laughter of that annoying trickster of a kitsune coming from Kagome's mouth.
He jumped up with a rush of speed. "I'm gonna kill you!"
'Kagome' turned and he saw a bushy tail growing from her backside, confirming his suspicions of this not being his sisterly friend. After that, the chase began, with Sango and Miroku laughing hysterically. Even Kirara looked like she was laughing, as she hyperly (not a real word, but u get the point) bounced around in a little circle before collapsing to her back and rolling around in amusement. (kawaii!)
But just as Inuyasha was about to catch Shippou, who had now transformed back into his usual self, a painful scream was heard. Of course, this scream just HAD to spoil Miroku's plans.
'And I was so close too,' he thought with a small pout. But he instantly cheered up, as he had recognized the scream as female. "Come on, everyone, there's no time to waste!"
Sango nodded once. "Right. Kirara! Keep Shippou safe once we're there."
Said fire neko then proceeded to transform into her larger people-carrying state. Sango and Miroku climbed onto her back, while Shippou happily jumped. After all, he had once again outsmarted the 'stupid hayou' as he liked to call Inu.
*With Inu*
Inu had bolted toward the direction of the scream as soon as he had heard it. He didn't know why, usually he would wait for the others; put on that tough-guy act until Kagome 'forced' him to do something. But for some strange reason he felt that he had to hurry.
When he broke from the cover of trees, he emerged into a clearing (there a lot of those in feudal Japan right now, aren't there?^.^'). What he saw was somewhat surprising.
A giant, bat-like youkai, whose strong scent wasn't at all pleasant for neither demon nor hanyou. In fact, it was almost worse than the smell of rotting food that's been in the sun for several days.
Across the clearing, and severely wounded, unlike the smelly bat-thing, was a beautiful youkai. No, wait, she was hanyou, he could smell it. He watched her as she struggled to raise herself while clutching at her arm, which must have been why she had screamed so terribly in the first place. He could see to the bone. Surely nothing short of the Tenseiga could return that arm to normal.
On the edges of his senses, he could tell his companions had come through the forest to witness the sight before them, for he was concentrating on the beautiful hanyou before him. Just barely, he could make out her pained words. "Please leave, I will not fight you, youkai. That shard you swallowed had blackened your heard and reddened your senses, therefore it would be unjust if I were to cause you any harm. I will fight against none but Naraku and his minions."
'Even in as much pain as she must be experiencing, he voice is wonderful. . .Wait! stop that thought. I don't even know her! Hey, what's she saying 'bout Naraku?'
The hanyou attempted to take another step, but ended up collapsing from blood loss.
"Inuyasha, go take care of the youkai, we'll make sure she's alright," he heard Miroku say. Sure enough, the next second, Kirara was carrying the two humans and kitsune toddler to the hanyou with lightning-fast speed. Certainly faster than he had ever seen the neko youkai run before.
'Right.' He drew Tetsusaiga and with one attack, Kaze no Kizu of course, the youkai was annihilated and a shard popped out from its body. Knowing not to touch the tainted shard, he called Miroku over. The monk wrapped the shard in a super-purified cloth, also taking care not to touch the dark purple shard.
The two men soon returned to the rest of the group and the hanyou, who looked rather worse for the wear. There were all kinds of small cuts and bruises that had been inflicted upon her by the bat youkai, along with some medium-sized cuts, those of which had been bleeding had small strips of cloth to help clot the blood. What Sango was concentrating on right now was the ghastly gash on her left arm.
Without the wounds she must've been a beauty. Inuyasha mulled over this. Her skin wasn't really pale, but wasn't exactly tanned either. Her dark purple hair, which had been kept up by a blue ribbon that now hung askew, would hang to her hips were she to stand. Petals of some purple flower could be seen in her hair. Her clothes were somewhat like Inu's, but more form-fitting and black with a green undershirt. Not that there was a lot of the outfit left. Her claws were smaller than Inuyashas, and her ears were pointed and two or three times as long as Kouga's. He also noticed the female hayou had markings. There was a silver crescent moon facing the opposite direction of Sesshoumaru's. Two small silver stripes were on each of her wrists and ankles. He also took note that she wore some jewelry, but being a guy he didn't really care.
The female hanyou opened her eyes slowly, revealing her white orbs with violet centers. "My name . . .is Kori." Her eyes then closed and she whispered out, "Please, before going anywhere, my bag. . ."
Following her wishes, Inu grabbed her bag then picked Kori up bridal-style and, followed closely by his companions, headed to Kaede's hut. She would be able to help this poor, injured hanyou.

REVIEWer Responses:
Instead of writing individual responses, I'll just answer the general questions this time. The last chappy wasn't supposed to be there at first, so these are from the one before.
1.) Let me start off by saying that I'm not a major kikyou hater, but everything would be so much better (relationship-wise) if she didn't come back. Besides, she's literally a clay pot (well maybe not a pot, exactly. . .) that steals people's souls. However, I do think that her little soul- stealing bug-thingies are really kawaii! ^.^
2.) For anyone who was upset about the death of kikyou and hojo: at least they found their one true love! ^_^'
3.) The idiot and clay pot fell in love in less than a week. Yeah, I know. Let's just call it. . . Love at first sight! Heh he.eh.^.^'
4.) How did kikyou go to heaven? In my mind, if kikyou didn't go to heaven, her soul wouldn't have been released to Kagome.
5.) The whole purpose of that chappy was to get rid of those two so that kikyou wouldn't try to get in the way and drag inu to hell with her and whatnot, and to do the same to hojo so that he wouldn't ruin a good moment with kag/kur like the idiot surely would, were he still among the living.
6.) I don't have anything against hojo, actually, but while I wrote that chappy, I was putting this guy I kinda hate (you will know who u r if ur reading this, which I doubt) in hojo's place. It was payback for all the times he's acted like a jerk.
7.) Many of you are wondering when the KENSHIN gumi are coming in. I have this all planned out so that they WILL be coming within the NEXT FIVE CHAPPIES! YEAH!
SilentDark: I hope I got all the descriptions right. My brains fried from all the math I had to do tonight and so I worked on this to relax a little. The next chappy will be all about you! Yay! Love and Peace!
Ja Ne!
