Families CAN Be Replaceable
DarkPirate-510- Mikoto will continue to stalk Kyo for a while. He's a good guy. And don't worry. Inuyasha and Kyo will NEVER hook up. As I've said before, he's all Kagome's and a bit Kikyo's.
animecraze11- Yeah! I'm trying for funny! Here's the next chapter.
I guess Kaede was right, because as soon as Kagome and I pulled ouselves out of the well, my ring started working again. "Mom's going to want us to eat dinner." I commented walking into the house. "I'm still stuffed from Kaede's stew." Kagome replied, "I think I ate too much. I'm going to go to be as soon as I get inside." "What about homework?" I asked. Kagome smiled grimly. "I'll go to bed after I finished it." she replied.
Kinomo and Josh walked over to me as I came into the classroom. "You're here!" Kinomo exclaimed. "Yeah." I replied, "Why wouldn't I?" "Miss KIMONO over here likes to do research." Josh explained, "He's found that your sister, Kagome, is out all the time. Kinomo thought that you might be out all the time too." I shook my head. "I'm adopted, "I told them, "That means I don't have their family illnesses."
"Oh yeah." Kinomo replied, "Sorry." "That's alright." I said, "Kagome is out a lot." "Good morning." Tsukonee said walking up to us. "Good morning!" I replied. "Is it true you've read the entire Secret Garden?" he asked me. I nodded, "Then can you give me a summary of what happened in last night's homework?" Tsukonee questioned, "You should feel the need to serve me. Women along time ago listened to men and did whatever they wanted them to do. "Stop living in the past." I told him, "Or you might see a demon."
Tsukonee laughed. "There's no such thing as demons, Higurashi-san." he told me, "You should stop reading fantasy books." The bell rang and we all took our seats. Jian-sensei walked in. "Good morning class!" she said cheerfully, "Can anyone tell me what happened in last night's reading?" Everyone raised their hand except Tsukonee. Of course he was called on.
At lunch we watched again as Emily beat up another kid. "She makes me sick." Kinomo commented as she bit into her sandwich, "Then again, I'm glad she's after people besides us. She's strong. I wouldn't want to take her on by myself." "If Emily ever threatened on of you, I'd help you keep her away." I said. Kinomo, Josh, and Tsukonee stared at me for a second. "What?" I asked.
"Emily is big." Josh said, "I'm not even sure I could take her on. No offense or anything, but you look weak. What could you do?" I smiled. He was right. With my pale skin and without my demon features, I looked like someone who had just gotten over a bad case of the flu. "You'd be surprised what I could do." I replied.
"I'm not sure if I believe you." Tsukonee said, "I wouldn't want one of my friends getting hurt just because her pride was so large that she thought she could take on the school bully." "One day you'll see me." I told them, "Then you'll believe that I can do more than it looks like." Kinomo shrugged. "Whatever." She replied, "Right now I just think that you have serious pride problem."
"How's your arm?" Kagome asked me on the way home. "It's a little sore today, but nothing to worry about." I replied, "That problem with the ring is really annoying." "Yeah." Kagome agreed, "I guess we'll have to keep you away from the fighting." "No." I told her stubornly, "There is no way you can keep me away." Kagome sighed. "With all the ways you've gotten yourself to our fights, I believe you." she said.
"You can't keep Kyo out of your fights!" Souta insisted, "She's a demon! She could help alot!" "She's just a young demon." Kagome pointed out. "Shippo's younger." I said. "But he's a full demon." she said, "So he's stronger." "But younger." Souta added. "How'd you know that?" Kagome asked. Souta shrugged. "I guess you told me." he replied.
I laughed. "It doesn't matter." I said, "Like it or not, Kagome, I'm going through the well with you, not just to visit my friends, but to help you fight." "Sometimes I wonder what would have happened if we had left you in the woods like you wanted." Kagome mumbled. Souta and I laughed again.
Half way through my homework mom called me downstairs. When I arrived, she was holding a mug of tea. She handed it to me. "Your friend, Kaede wrote instructions to give this to you." she told me, "It's got herbs in it that should help your arm heal." "Thank you." I said taking a sip. I must admit it was extremely bitter, but I managed to choke down the whole thing. I put the mug in the sink and headed up the stairs to finish my homework.
"Kaede also wanted you to come back so she could look over your arm." Mom said, "Make sure you do that after dinner. Finish your homework. I nodded and walked back upstairs.
After dinner I made my way through the well. Kagome couldn't come. She was studying hard for a test tomorrow. I hadn't bothered to put my ring on. What use was it there if it didn't work? I wondered why Kaede wanted to see my arm today. She hadn't wanted to see it yesterday.
I climbed out of the well giving my self a challenge. Could I only use my right arm to climb up the side? I could. Though it was already dark, I found my way easily back to the village. Kaede was waiting for me outside. "There ye are." she said, "I was afraid ye wasn't coming. Come in." We did. Kaede walked me over to the fire and started examining my arm in the light. She gently unwrapped the bandages and looked at the cut.
"It does not look good." Kaede said after a few moments, "The skin around the cut is turning purple. I fear it is infected." "Infected?" I asked. She looked at my fingers on my left hand. The same one that I had hurt. "Aye." she replied, "Infected indeed. Try moving ye's fingers." Though I intended my fingers to go quickly into a fist, they did not. They went much slower.
"Did that feel strange?" Kaede asked. I nodded. She walked over to a closet and pulled out a sling. "In a few day ye might not even be able to move ye's arm." Kaede told me sadly, "Hopefully in a week or two, the infection will be gone." "But what about my blood?" I asked. "It can't help because ye was wearing the ring." she replied. I sighed and allowed Kaede to put the sling on my arm. "Come back tomorrow." she instructed." "Alright." I said.
Kagome: Poor Kyo. Don't you agree Inuyasha?
Inuyasha: What?
Sango: Yes. I feel bad for Kyo.
Shippo: What's going to happen to her arm?!?!
Inuyasha: Maybe she'll have to get it cut off! Then she'll look like Sesshoumaru! Ha! HA!
Kagome: SIT!
Inuyasha: What was that for?!
Clear Waters: That was clearly for saying something mean.
Inuyasha: What did I say?
Kagome: Oh, forget it!
Miroku: Perhaps it is more than an infection. Maybe it's a demon.
Sango: Kaede would have known it if it was a demon.
Kagome: Wait. Isn't demon spit good for healing?
Inuyasha: Yeah. What about it?
Shippo: Maybe Inuyasha could lick Kyo's cut and it would heal!
Inuyasha: Why would I want to do that?!
Miroku: So that Kyo doesn't end up looking like Sesshoumaru.
Shippo: You're confusing me.
Kagome: Basically what we're saying is that we want Inuyasha to lick Kyo's cut so that it can hurry up and heal so there's no chance that we'll have to cut it off and make Kyo look like Sesshoumaru because Sesshoumaru only has one arm.
Shippo: Oh.
Clear Waters: That was a very long run on sentence.
Kagome: I know.
Clear Waters: R&R everyone!
