-=-=-=-8. Holding Palaver-=-=-=-
"Over here!" Kagome shouted, waving her hands excitedly. She had found one miko home still standing and unharmed, very odd. Miroku, Sango, Hreru, and Shippou who had been also looking around hurried over. In the five of them went without hesitation, a fire already lit in the center of the room.
The hut was incredibly small, but cozy. Shelves of medicine, herbs, and blankets lined the walls.
"Glad you guys could finally make it." Inuyasha sneered from the corner of the room.
Hreru gave him an annoyed glare and sat down in front of the fire where Inuyasha sat across from him. The others also sat, circling the fire.
"Alright, man. Tell us why you were attacking that girl now." Inuyasha began, crossing his arms sternly.
"I wasn't attacking her." Hreru lain his sword across his shoulder. "Kagome already tried to explain that to you."
"Whatever. I know what I saw. I bet you're just lying about the jewel shards. You'll get us to trust you and then you'll steal the shards right when our backs are turned."
"Inuyasha!" Kagome scolded.
"It's alright, Kagome. Don't waste your time." Hreru sighed. "He's obviously too thick-headed to take things into consideration before opening his mouth."
"You wanna take this outside!?" Inuyasha jumped up.
"SIT!" Kagome screamed. Inuyasha fell straight through the floor, floorboards splintered behind him. "Oops." Kagome giggled. "It slipped."
Sango noticed Hreru's puzzled look. "It's the beads around Inuyasha's neck that does that. Kagome tells him to sit and well...he sits."
"Well, Hreru. Why don't you start by telling us about yourself?" Kagome smiled.
"Alright." Hreru nodded.
An hour or two had gone past...
"So these Shikon Jewel Shards can be used by evil?"
"Yes, Hreru. It would be a horrible thing if any demon got ahold of them." Miroku explained. "The Hikage Shinji you spoke of are made from a totally different mineral."
"Then you have no reason to suspect me of stealing anything, Inuyasha. As long as I have my jewels, I will need no other."
"Yeah well. I still don't trust ya." Inuyasha turned up his nose.
"I don't expect you to." Hreru glanced down at Shippou who was curled up asleep in his lap. "What do plan to do when you gather all of the jewels, Kagome?"
"I'm using them to become Yokai." Inuyasha interupted.
"Should of known."
"What's that supposed to mean!?"
"Shut up, Inuyasha!" Kagome grabbed his sleeve and yanked him down. She smiled sweetly at Hreru. "We haven't been thinking about it. I guess we'll know once we gather them all."
Miroku and Sango nodded in agreement.
"Why do think your father would want the jewels?" Asked Kagome.
"Most likely to become whole again. He's slowly rotting away into nothing." Hreru's nose cringed.
"Yuck. Well, about your problem, Hreru. We'll help get rid of your father once we find out what's happening in this village."
"As long as we get the jewel shards your dad has." Inuyasha added in. Kagome glared.
"Now since we got that out of the way." Sango stood, sleeping Kirara stirred on her shoulder. "We should sleep. It's getting dark."
"Yes. We should figure this out in the morning. Sleep while we have the time." Miroku sat leaning against the wall of the hut and prepared to sleep.
Sango and Kagome fixed themselves a bed out of the blankets and curled up. Kirara was already snuggled under Sango's arm.
Inuyasha was outside keeping watch. Hreru sat, backing up to the wall with his sword resting against his shoulder. He covered his body with his cloak.
"Hreru?" Shippou yawned, rubbing his eyes.
Hreru looked up and smiled warmly, stretching his legs until there was just enough room on his lap for the fox child. Shippou hopped up and immediately fell asleep. Hreru watched him for a while then wrapped his arm around Kassatsu and nodded off, his head resting peacefully on his chest.
'What are you doing hanging around with these fools?' An image of a smirking Kross drifted through a dream. 'You could never stand humans, Hreru. What are you thinking?'
'I'm not thinking.' Hreru replied in his thoughts. 'Not thinking at all.'
Five more Wolf Demons appeared, this was Hreru's pack. The first was the wise Dima. Uri, being the tallest, a shaggy black haired young leader, with determined green eyes. The one in the middle, the shortest. She was known as Amaya, a wolf with short white hair, blue eyes. Raze, the muscle man with spiked red hair and green eyes as well. The youngest and smallest of the bunch, Yoshiro with brown hair and bright hazel eyes.
Hreru smiled in his sleep. He missed his pack, hadn't seen them for years after he decided to leave from his father's reign.
He awoke, frustrated and confused. What did this mean? Would he meet his pack again soon? Hreru was wide awake now, no longer able to rest. He gently sat Shippou on the floor beside him and slid Kassatsu under his belt. Hreru headed outside.
"Going somewhere?" Inuyasha's voice appeared. Hreru looked up to see the hanyou sitting in a tree.
"Yeah. Why is it any of your business?"
"It is my business if it has anything to do with the jewel shards." Inuyasha situated himself to where Hreru could see Tetsusaiga.
"Not everything has to do with the shards, Inuyasha." Hreru stepped towards the forest.
Inuyasha jumped down in front of him. "You promised jewel shards if we got rid of your dad so I'm making sure you stay alive until then." He faced his tree. "You're not getting out of my sight."
"I could slaughter you right now, little hanyou. Step asside, I won't hesitate."
"I'm sure you wouldn't." Inuyasha gripped the hilt of his sword, smirking. "I won't hesitate to cut you in half either, that makes us even."
"Get out of my way. I need to go away for a while. If I don't come back by daybreak then you can kill me once we meet again. I won't resist."
Inuyasha stared at him for a few minutes then shrugged, leaping into his tree. "Fine. Just remember what you agreed to."
Hreru walked off into the forest.
