Families CAN Be Replaceable

Kaede was outside when we arrived. "She's gone!" she exclaimed, "The cat demon is gone!" I giggled. "She got into Kagome's backpack." Inuyasha said growling, "I carried her the whole way to where we were fighting." Kaede looked at me.
"I see." she said. I could tell she was comforted by this, "Ye was supposed to stay with me, Kyo." "I know." I replied, "I thought it would be more fun with the others." "And she caused problems." Inuyasha said. "It wasn't her fault you thought you could catch arrows too!" Kagome told him.
"Catch arrows?" Kaede questioned. She turned to me. "Go to the edge of the woods and collect some herbs, child. I believe thyme, rosemary, and mint would be nice. Do ye know what they look like?" I nodded. She handed me a basket and turned back to the others. "Let us go inside and talk."
I did not appriciate being sent on an errand while the others talked inside. I watched them go and close the door. I then sat in front of the door and listened.
"Tell me the story." Kaede requested, "Something happened. "Kyo saved my life." Kagome said. I smiled. "She wasn't supposed to be at the fight." Inuyasha pointed out. "Would you rather me be dead?" she demanded. "No." came the response.
"What happened was we saw Kagome's pack move after Inuyasha put it down so Kagome went to investigate." Miroku explained, "We found Kyo in her pack. Of course Inuyasha was upset, but anyway we agreed she could stay as long as she didn't come to the fight with us. She agreed. Kyo went to the stream to wash the dishes while we left to get the jewel shard. One of Kagome's arrows went astray during the fight. We didn't know what happened to it until later. Kyo told us it almost hit her in the head. That's why she went to the fight."
Kagome picked up from there. "I guess Kyo found a good seat in a tree that I was under. It was up pretty high, I'm guessing. As Shippo, he watched. The demon we were fighting sent a needle thing at me. I ducked and covered Shippo, but I knew it was going to get me in the back."
Shippo's turn. "Kagome was protecting me, but I was watching the needle come closer. Out of no where Kyo just fell out of the sky and caught the needle with her toes! The demon then shot lots more needles at Kyo and she caught them all with her hands!"
"Aye." I heard Kaede commented, "That is amazing, but is there something more with arrows?"
"Later that day I was practicing my aim on a tree." Kagome told her, "Inuyasha decided that if Kyo could catch needles, he could catch arrows so he asked me to shoot some at him. Of course I said no, but he talked me into it. I shot a total of three arrows at him. He missed the first two. The third went through his hand."
I had heard enough. Kagome and the others were not mad and did not blame me in any way for what had happened. I walked to the edge of the forest to gather the herbs Kaede wanted.
I was so caught up in trying to remember what the herbs Kaede wanted were, I didn't notice that there was a cat smell around. And a familar one at that. "We meet again Kitten." I looked up to see Mikoto. "What are you doing here?" I asked very surprised.
"Watching you of course." He replied. I rolled my eyes and started to pick the herbs that Kaede wanted. When I finished he was still there. Just standing and watching me. "You're freaking me out." I told him, "Leave me alone." I ran back to hut.

"That took ye a while." Kaede commented. "I couldn't find the herb patch at first." I lied quickly. Kaede took the basket and the lie. "There's soup waiting for ye." she told me. I quickly located it and began to eat. It was good.
I finished my soup quickly. "I'm going to be on my way now." Kagome said as soon as I was finished. "Let's go, Kyo." I put my soup down and got up. My eyes saw my bag. I walked over to it, opened it, and pulled out a package of ramen. I then tossed it to Inuyasha. "That's for not trying to kill me." I told him. He grabbed it out of the air. I grabbed my bag and followed Kagome out of the hut.
She led me to an old well. "This is how I get home and back." Kagome told me. She dropped her pack in it. I couldn't see the bottom. Kagome jumped in after it. I wasn't sure what to do. "Just jump in!" I heard Kagome's voice. A little unassure, I did what she asked.

Inuyasha: It was short!

Kagome: It's been shorter.

Inuyasha: What the hell Clear Waters?! An arrow went through my hand?!?!

Clear Waters: Yup.

Inuyasha: All because of the stinking cat?

Clear Waters: It was your fault. You believed you could catch arrows.

Sango: I'd have to agree with Clear Waters. Kyo did nothing to make you do it.

Inuyasha: How the hell did she do that?

Clear Waters: She's fast. Maybe if you practice you could do it too.

Kagome: NO! I am not going to shoot more arrows at him! Look what happened last time.

Inuyasha: You shot arrows at me when you were cursed.

Kagome: I thought we agreed that I didn't shoot those.

Inuyasha: Right.

Miroku: So where and why are we here again?

Clear Waters: We're at a prison. Where's here because I did not feel like sit proofing the house anymore. This place was already sit proofed.

Shippo: Why are there lots of people behind bars?

Clear Waters: Because this is where they stick people who break the law.

Inuyasha: Miroku should be here for groping.

Clear Waters: Actually there's no law against groping.

Miroku: Really? Cool!

Sango: DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!

Clear Waters: Well I hope you liked the chapter. Sorry it was so short. R&R!

Kagome: This is only the second chapter I haven't sat him.

Inuyasha: Bitch.

Kagome: SIT! Oh well, never mind.
