Families CAN Be Replaceable
I have one more reply for my reviews.
Important Notice!
Just to let people know. I've already gotten one flame on this story. It really didn't effect what I was going to do with the story, but my parents weren't too happy about what it said. If you are going to flame me please watch your language. No hells, damns, fucks, shits, or anything like that. Also, I would like an explanation on why you are flaming me.
But anyway, on to my reply!
Aniasister29- I'm glad you're lovin it. That's what I want to hear!
Lil:.CaT:.AnImE- I'm very very glad you liked the 7th chapter and I'm ever gladder you disagree with the flamer guy. He wasn't very nice about stating his point, was he? Lastly, Kyo is my master piece! I'm glad someone respects this!
Alright. Usually I don't put a replay of what just happened in my stories but in this one I'm deciding to do the last two paragraphs. Just because I think this chapter's going to be sooooo fun!
"Do you still sense the shard?" Inuyasha asked Kagome. "Yes." she replied, "It doesn't seem to be on the move, so we don't have to worry about it." "We should still go after breakfast." Miroku said. "And I'll help in this fight! Right, Kagome?" Shippo asked. Kagome laughed. "Yes Shippo." she replied. She turned to me, "And you're going to be here at the campsite, right Kyo?"
"Yes." I replied sighing, "I guess I'll do the dishes." Inuyasha, Shippo, and Miroku shoved their plates at me. I took them and walked off towards the stream. "Bring me your dishes when you're done Sango, Kagome." I called behind me. I turned back to the stream. Mikoto was sitting there, on the other side again. Waiting for me.
"What are you still doing here?" I asked dunking the dishes in the water. "Waiting for you." he replied, "I knew you were going to be back." "Why?" I demanded, scrubbing rice off with my claws and scratching the plates. I wished I had thought to bring a cloth or something.
"Because I wanted to." Mikoto replied, "And I knew there was going to be a fight today." "Do fights amuse you?" I asked shaking the dishes dry and hoping the water got on him. "I guess." he said.
I got up, wondering where the others were. "You know I've got friends here that will protect me if you do anything." I warned. "You mean them?" Mikoto asked pointing to a group that was confronting something very large farther down stream, "Because if you do, there's no way they're getting away from that demon without a fight." "Is it strong?" I asked a bit nervously. I didn't want my new friends getting hurt.
"Yes." he said, "It's got a Sacred Jewel Shard. That makes it much powerful than if it was just a demon." I became nervous for them. Even Inuyasha. "Do you have a Sacred Jewel Shard." I asked. If he did, I would tell the others when they got back and we'd get it. Mikoto chuckled a bit. "I don't need a Jewel Shard." he told me. I'm strong enough without one."
I got up and turned around. "Where are you going?" Mikoto asked. "To finish the dishes." I could feel his eyes on me as I left.
He was in the same spot when I returned with the last two plates and a cloth to wash them with. "The battle is progressing nicely." Mikoto told me. "That man with the silver hair. He is somehow a demon isn't he?" "Yes." I said inspecting the two plates, "He's half demon." "And that girl aiming the arrow, what about her. She's special too." "I really don't know." I admitted.
Mikoto didn't reply. I went back to washing. A few minutes later I finished and straitened up.
Suddenly Mikoto was on top of me. I gasped. An arrow with a blue glow to it hit a tree, practically splitting it in half. That would of been my head. A few branches fell around us. "Uh, thanks." I said as he got off of me. "Don't mention it." Mikoto replied, going back to his spot on the other bank.
I got up a bit shakily and returned to camp with the last of the dishes. Mikoto didn't ask where I was going.
After returning the dishes to their spot in Kagome's bag, instead of staying and doing nothing, which was what I was supposed to be doing, I decided to get a better seat and watch the fight. Checking my clothes I decided that they were tight enough to fight in. I pulled off my shoes and socks so that I'd have one more weapon if I needed it. Then I started towards the fight.
A few feet away from the initial 'battle ground' was a very tall oak tree. Using my claws, I climbed the tree and found a very nice branch overlooking the fight. And it was indeed an interesting fight.
The whole group was doing alright. Inuyasha sported a few cuts and bruises but besides that they were fine. Sango and Miroku were riding on Kilala (I spelled it right!). Kagome was right below me aiming another arrow. She had been the one who had shot the one that almost nailed me in the head. I'd have to ask her about that later. Shippo was behind Kagome. I doubted the kid had done anything in the fight yet and doubted that he was going to do anything. Inuyasha was really the only one fighting. That's probably why he was the one with all the cuts.
Inuyasha almost always seemed to be in the air, delivering large cuts to the demon with a very large sword. I knew he carried a sword but this couldn't be it. It was much to big to fit in his scabbard (spelling?). He seemed to be doing okay. Every once in a while the demon would throw a bunch of needles at Inuyasha. He always managed to dodge them.
It had been a while since the demon had shot his needles. I knew something was up. I was right. The demon sent the largest needle yet at Kagome. There was nothing she could do. She ducked and sheilded Shippo, waiting for the blow to hit. Inuyasha was too far away to help. I could tell he was horrified of what was going to happen.
Well I wasn't going to let it happen. With the ease of the cat I am, I jumped of the tree, speeding to the ground. I caught the needle in my toes, not the sharp tip of course, and brought it to the ground with me.
The battle ground became silent. Everyone was staring at me. Except Kagome. Kagome didn't move. Shippo had though. He was peaking out from behind. "You WENCH!" the demon yelled at me. He let about 5 needles go at me. I jumped up into the air like I had seen Inuyasha do. That wasn't going to stop all of them. Just the one low one. I caught the other four from the sides.
The demon seemed to tire of me and go back to Inuyasha. I was glad. You wouldn't like having to catch needles in your hands! What if you missed one or caught it the wrong way? That would hurt. Anyway, I made my way over to Kagome. "That was so cool!" Shippo exclaimed running out of the safty behind Kagome. She lifted her head and saw me.
"I thought you were at the campsite!" Kagome exclaimed. "I was." I said, "Until- I'll tell you later." Somehow I was able to hop back onto my branch in the tree, like twenty feet up. Don't ask me how I did it.
Shortly after my needle catching experience (more spelling?) the fight ended. Inuyasha looked at the jewel. The only big wound he sported was a deep cut on his arm. "I'm glad that's over with." he said. "I am too." I agreed. "You're not even supposed to be here!" Inuyasha yelled. "I saved Kagome." I pointed out. "SO?" he asked. "Aren't you glad?"
"We are very greatful." Miroku said. "Especially me." Kagome said, "So you were going to tell me why you were at the fight." We started towards the campsite. I decided to leave out Mikoto. "I was washing dishes in the stream and an arrow almost inbedded itself in my head." I told her.
"Sorry!" she said, "I wondered where that arrow landed. I was in the wrong spot to shoot and the arrow just sort of bounced off the demon. I guess it went in your direction. "Did you catch it like you did the others?" Shippo asked. "No." I replied, "I just dodged it." "That's still really neat!" the kid said jumping onto my shoulder from Kagome's. I laughed. "I'm glad you think that."
Inuyasha: I got a bad wound from a stinking demon?!?! What's with you Clear Waters?!
Clear Waters: Nothing. You're a half demon. They'll be gone by tomorrow.
Inuyasha: Do you mean the next chapter?
Clear Waters: No.
Kagome: She means the next time the sun rises in the story.
Inuyasha: Oh.
Miroku: So what improvements have you made in this room to 'Sit' proof it?
Clear Waters: The ceiling is solid metal.
Sango: That's going to hurt.
Shippo: When he gets sitted, bounced off the floor, hit with metal, and fall back to the floor, he'll deserve it.
Inuyasha: What did you say runt?!
Shippo: You deserve it.
Inuyasha: I'M GOING TO GET YOU!
Kagome: Don't chase him, Inuyasha.
Inuyasha: SHUT UP BITCH! I'M GOING TO GET THAT LITTLE BRAT!
Kagome: SIT!
Inuyasha: {Hits ground, bounces off, hits ceiling, loud clanging noise is heard, hits the ground. Flies out the window.{CRASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!}}
Clear Waters: WILL THIS MADNESS NEVER END?!?! R&R while I have a little 'chat' with Kagome.
Kagome: {Giggles nervously}
