The Demon Known as Kagome

Chapter 8

------- --------- --------- Last Time ------ ---------- ------
Kagome, Inu Yasha and Sesshomaru all growled at the same time at the demons. Kagome was able to lunge forwards in an instant and grabbed Shippo from the demoness and did a spinning back kick, making her fly into a nearby tree. ---------- --------- -------------- ------

The male demon growled at Kagome dangerously. The female was up and by the males side in a matter of seconds. He quickly gave the two girls to the demoness and turned to Kagome. The demoness had her claws around their necks so they wouldn't go anywhere, but they were standing.
Kagome watched his every move. She wanted to be ready and she gave Shippo to Kiade. Inu Yasha had drawn his sword and was watching the demons closely. Sesshomaru seemed to be getting pissed off. He was glaring at the demoness who held Heisei and Rin captive. Sango held her boomerang high and Miroku was at her side with his staff. Kiade stood next to Kilala holding Shippo.
Kagome moved a step forwards and said through clenched teeth, "Give them back!"
The demons looked to each other than back to Kagome. The male smirked slightly and staggered, on purpose. He sped towards Kagome, going this way and that. She barely had blinked and he already had a hold of her.
He had her right arm twisted behind her back with his own right hand and had his left hand around her neck. He took her with him and jumped back to the demoness's side.
"Kagome!" Inu Yasha yelled and his eyes flashed red. He held his sword with both of his hands and took a step forwards.
"Return them all. now!" Inu Yasha yelled to the two demons. They merely looked at him.
The male, however, smirked again. He held Kagomes neck to the side and licked it. Kagomes eyes went wide as did everyone else's. He smirked again.
Inu Yasha was becoming outraged. 'I can't believe he's touching her!' he yelled inside of his head.
'This isn't going to end well,' Miroku and Sango thought. Sesshomaru looked at his half brother, his face faltered for a moment and it showed great surprise.
Inu Yasha growled again and demanded that they be let go. The demon however licked Kagome's neck again. Kagome in the mean time was slowly moving her tail upwards, towards her captures neck, but she gave a slightly grossed out look when he licked her again.
At that moment Kagome wrapped her tail around the demons neck and pulled herself away from him, but in the process she managed to dislocate her right shoulder. Sesshomaru lunged at the female and punched her in the chest with his left hand. He grabbed Rin and Heisei in both of his arms and jumped back to the others. Kagome made her way back to Inu Yasha, her right arm hanging loosely. Sesshomaru released the kids and they went over to Miroku and Sango. They looked back to Kagome and Sesshomaru. She smiled sweetly to reassure them. Inu Yasha looked to Kagome's arm. He picked it up and said, "This will hurt." "I know," she said calmly. Inu Yasha, in one swift moment, relocated her shoulder and Kagome winced in pain. A single tear fell down her left check, but Inu Yasha wiped it away with his thumb. She smiled to him, but then turned to the demons with a cold stare. Now that Kagome was free, Inu Yasha moved in on the demon. He swung his sword and only missed by a few inches. The demon, however, was quick to counter attack. He kicked Inu Yasha hard in the side and sent him flying into a tree, only to have him go through it and into the second tree. After hitting the second tree he fell to the ground in a heap. "Inu Yasha!" Kagome screamed as she ran after him. Kagome turned him onto his back and checked to make sure he was still breathing. He was, but barely. She placed her palms on his chest and her hands glowed a faint pink. Inu Yasha stirred slightly and was still unconscious, but he was breathing better. Kagome picked up his right arm and lifted him onto her shoulder. She walked back over to the others and laid him down. She sat down and placed his head on her lap, stroking his hair. "Why is it that you have come here?" she asked, greatly restraining her anger, but you could really tell. The demons looked to each other, nodded and sat down. Sesshomaru sat down as well, as did Kilala, Kiade, Heisei, Shippo, Miroku, Sango and Rin. The demons looked to each other again and the male said, "My name is Ganu and this," he said gesturing to the female, "is Lanuta. We have come in search of your group." "If you were in search of us, than why did you attack us?" Miroku asked flatly. "We had to test you somehow," Lanuta said calmly. "So this is how you test someone? By hurting them, as well as others?" Kagome asked with rage. "I can understand why you are angry," Lanuta said. "You can't even begin to imagine," Kagome said. She continued to stoke Inu Yasha's hair and closed her eyes. "Hmmm..." Miroku said, while placing his hand on Sango's leg. Which was followed by a slap. Miroku fell over and Shippo sweat-dropped and sighed to himself. Rin and Heisei giggled to themselves, as did Kiade. Sesshomaru just watched the demons and Kilala came over and sat next to Kagome. Ganu and Lanuta looked from the monk to Kagome. Kagome sighed. Everyone looked at her except Sesshomaru and Kilala, who kept their gaze on the two demons across from them. Kilala occasionally twitching her tails. Kagome looked up to the demons, "Very well, you may join our group. Are you done 'testing' us?" Kagome asked, still restraining her anger. "Well.. actually, no," Ganu said, while keeping his gaze on Kagome, "There is one more test, but it will have to wait," he said calmly. Kagome looked to the sun and it was almost dark. She told everyone to retire to bed. She told Sango to give Ganu and Lanuta some futons. She looked back down to Inu Yasha, 'Inu Yasha.' Kagome asked Miroku for his help in moving Inu Yasha next to a tree onto a futon. Miroku was willing to help and together they moved Inu Yasha, he wasn't heavy. it was just easier. Kagome said thank you and her good nights to everyone else. She sat down next to Inu Yasha and watched everyone slowly fall asleep. First was the kids, then Miroku, followed by Lanuta, Sango and Kiade, then Ganu and Kilala and lastly was Sesshomaru. Kagome looked back down to Inu Yasha. She then jumped up into the tree above her. Kagome looked out over the treetops and watched the stars and the moon. From behind her a hand wrapped around her waist and another covered her mouth. She tensed, but then relaxed when she realized who was behind her, or at least who she thought it was. The hands were removed and the figure sat on the branch a little bit away. She turned and was about to softly say Inu Yasha, but it was in-fact Sesshomaru who sat next to her, not Inu Yasha. "Sesshomaru?" Kagome asked softly. "Is there something wrong?" she asked, concern in her voice. "No, nothing is wrong," he said emotionless. "Than what is it?" she asked. "I would like you to watch after Rin for two days or so. I need to return to my palace and take care of a few things," he said calmly. "Sure. Why do you ask? You know that I would watch her anytime," Kagome said with a smile. "I was just asking," he returned. "Sesshomaru?.," she asked, sort of shyly. "Yes," he asked as he looked to her. "Why did you catch me earlier. when I caught Heisei," she said calmly and quietly. "I owed you for my arm," he returned. He looked back to the stars again. "I see," Kagome said and she looked back to the moon. "Would you have preferred to fall?" he asked innocently. "No... it's just. never mind. I'll watch her for you," Kagome said calmly. Her hair and tail swayed in the light breeze. "Hmm.. I will leave in the morning then," and with that Sesshomaru jumped off of the branch and went back to sleep. Unknown to Kagome and Sesshomaru, Inu Yasha had heard their conversation and when Sesshomaru had touched Kagome like that he almost jumped up and would have tried to beat the shit out of Sesshomaru. ------- ----------- ---------- Nothing wrong was said???
