The Demon Known as Kagome

Chapter 13

--- ------ ----- ----- Last Time ----- -------- --------- Rin looked into Sesshomaru's eyes and Sesshomaru looked back into hers. Then he caught her scent in his nose. "Rin?" he asked in amazement. Rin smiled sweetly and gave him one of her old looks. ------- ------------ ------------- ----------

Sesshomaru was in utter bewilderment. He knew Rin would turn into a demon, but he didn't think she would be older or be so beautiful.
'Wait!. What am I thinking?' he yelled to himself.
Everyone was watching Sesshomaru hold Rin, that is until he noticed and calmly removed his hands from her waist. Rin smiled again.
Kagome was in Inu Yasha's arms and coughing for breath.
"Are you ok Kagome?" Inu Yasha asked concerned.
"I'll be fine," she said. Inu Yasha let he stand of her own accord. He placed her pack on the ground, tired of carrying it. Sesshomaru was moving towards them and looking from Kagome to Inu Yasha. Inu Yasha moved protectively in front of Kagome and growled at Sesshomaru.
"Where is my brother," he asked calmly. Kagome looked at him.
"Do you not recognize him?" she asked calmly, "You don't recognize a lot of people."
Sesshomaru raised a brow and looked to the demon in front of her. He sniffed his scent and it was Kagome's mingled with Inu Yasha's, along with musk. Sesshomaru also sniffed her scent again and smelled mostly Inu Yasha with a trace of her own and musk. He gave sort of a disgusted look.
"So you and Rin have changed while I have been gone," he said calmly. "Along with the kit over there," he said, glancing sideways at Shippo. Inu Yasha smirked and looked at Sesshomaru.
"I wouldn't be smirking if I were you Inu Yasha. Everyone can smell what you two have been up to while I was away," he said. He turned and walked over to a tree and leaned against it. Rin walked over and sat next to him.
Inu Yasha looked back to Kagome and turned to her. She looked sort of nervous by what his brother had said. He gave her a quick kiss.
Sango's hair was still standing on end from being surprised by Sesshomaru. Miroku looked at her worriedly. He took her hand in his.
"Calm down Sango. Everything is fine," he said in a sweet voice.
Sango nodded and took a couple of deep breaths. She didn't pull her hand from his, instead enjoying the comfort she got. Kilala had disappeared and Heisei walked over to Inu Yasha and Kagome and asked if they knew where she was. They said no and she sighed. She tried Kiade and she said that she hadn't seen her in a while. Ganu and Lanuta hadn't seen her either.
Heisei tried Rin and was going to ask Sesshomaru, but he was staring at something and she was freaked out. She tried Shippo, but he had no idea either. Than she turned to Miroku. She didn't want to ask Sango, that way she wouldn't get worried.
She went over and sat next to him. He looked at her like she had made a mistake. Heisei looked to him with a serious tone. She flexed her index finger for him to move closer. He leaned over, letting go of Sango's hand, and Heisei whispered into his ear.
Miroku looked at her. He stood and held out a hand to help her up. She accepted and they moved off into the woods. Sango had been watching. She was worried now. She followed a few minutes after.
When she got their Heisei and Miroku were talking. She couldn't hear them cause she wasn't close enough and they where whispering. She moved closer.
"Do you know where she is?" Heisei asked.
"I'm afraid not. I haven't seen her in about an hour or so," he said.
Sango was relieved that they were only talking and stood up and moved into their view.
"Who can't you find Heisei?" she asked with a smile. Miroku looked at her and Heisei jumped a little. Heisei smiled back. Sango moved to Miroku's side and looked up to him. Miroku looked down at her and smiled. Heisei looked to Miroku and he looked at her and nodded.
"We can't find Kilala, Sango," Heisei said truthfully, "No one has seen her for about an hour."
Sango looked to Heisei as she talked, but when she was done she looked back up at Miroku.
"We'll have to find her then. She has to be somewhere around here," she said calmly. A rustle in the leaves was heard and Miroku growled and moved in front of Sango instinctively and Heisei lowered her body to a fighting position. Sango was looking out from behind Miroku. Then a cat demon jumped out of a tree. Her creamy tan hair was waist length and her two tails were of the same color with black marked tips. She was as tall as Sango. Her ears were pointed and her claws and canines sharp. Her eyes were a piercing yellow. She had a black diamond on her forehead and black markings on her wrists that matched her tails markings. She wore a white kimono that had a dark blue dragon up the right side and a very pale purple obi with a sword at her side. "Kilala?" Heisei asked. She eased from her crouched position. Kilala giggled to herself. She looked to Sango and blinked a few times. "Sango," she said slowly. Her voice was soft and shy, yet was elegant. She looked to Miroku, "Miroku," she said with a bit of trouble, and lastly, "Heisei," she seemed to be getting better with every word. She held something in her hands. "Kilala?" Sango asked, "Is that really you?" She moved out from behind Miroku and walked towards her. Kagome appeared behind Miroku. "I was wondering where you three got to," she said with a smile. They all jumped and turned to see Kagome standing there. Inu Yasha was behind her and poked his head out to her right and Shippo behind him with his head to the left. Shippo moved from behind them to Heisei's side. Inu Yasha watched with a smirk on his face. "Hello Kilala," Kagome said to her. Kilala looked behind Sango at Kagome and Inu Yasha. "Kagome. Shippo," she said, "and Inu Yasha." She said his name with a bit of difficulty, but Kagome smiled none the less. Inu Yasha looked at her. He smelled something in her arms and growled. Kagome looked at him. He moved from behind her and Kagome followed. He looked at what she held, but couldn't tell what it was. Whatever it was it was white and red. Everyone noticed that Kilala had a piece of her kimono torn off. 'It's soaked with blood. but the scent doesn't match hers' he thought. Kagome looked at it and smelled the blood, too. She looked at Kilala worriedly. Kilala shook her head no. Kagome was relieved that it wasn't her blood but wanted to know where it came from. More movement was heard behind Kagome and she turned around. Kiade, Rin, Ganu, Lanuta and Sesshomaru all came to the little clearing. "We were wondering why you all had left," Rin explained. Everyone who was already there looked at Kilala. "Ganu. Lanuta. Kiade. Rin. and Sessho. Sesshomaru," she had real trouble saying Sesshomaru's name, but she could say it, along with everyone else's. They all looked at her with a questioning look. They looked from her to the thing she was holding. From somewhere behind Kilala they all heard a loud cry of pain. Kilala looked immediately behind her. Inu Yasha and Sesshomaru growled. Kilala looked back at them when they growled and instead growled at them. They all looked at Kilala. "Kilala," Sango asked in almost a hurt tone. "Sango." she said she moved to Kagome and grabbed her wrist pulling Kagome behind herself. Inu Yasha didn't like this. He moved in front of Kilala and growled, a very menacing growl I might add. Kilala growled back and her eyes flashed red. She wasn't in the mood for being stopped at the moment. Inu Yasha looked at her with no signs of moving. Kilala squeezed Kagome's wrist and moved to go around Inu Yasha, but he moved in the way again. "Inu Yasha. Just let her pass," Kagome said calmly. Kilala looked back at Kagome and then back to Inu Yasha. Kilala let go of Kagome's wrist. "Transform," she said and she transformed into her large cat self, with the white thing in her mouth. She looked at Kagome and she slowly got on sideways. Inu Yasha watched, not very happy at all, but he moved when Kagome pleaded with her eyes. Kilala took off running with Kagome on her back. Everyone else was soon out of site. "Why did she just want Kagome?" Shippo asked. "I don't know," Miroku said. "We'll I'm not letting Kagome out of my site," Inu Yasha said and made to go after them. Sango, however, moved in his way. Inu Yasha looked down at her and raised an eyebrow. "Why don't you trust her? Kagome will be fine," Sango said. "It's not her that I don't trust. Kilala's eyes flashed red when she growled at me for being in her way. She's never done that before. has she," he asked with a knowing look in his eyes. "Well. no. I must confess that she was acting a little weird," Sango said. "Than I'm going after them," Inu Yasha said. "Inu Yasha. There is no reason that you cannot trust Kagome and Kilala. "But," Inu Yasha started. "No buts," Shippo said, ".although Inu Yasha does have a point I have to admit." Inu Yasha looked at the kit. "Fine. Inu Yasha, Miroku, Shippo and I will all go after Kilala and Kagome," Sango said, knowing that she was beaten, "Kiade. you and the others stay here." With that the others went back to camp and Miroku picked up Sango. Inu Yasha in front followed by Shippo, Miroku and Sango they ran in the direction Kilala went. Kagome had never seen Kilala run this fast before. What he wanted must be very important. A few minutes later they came to a small pool of water in a very small clearing. The trees were hundreds of yards tall. Kagome had never seen trees this big before. Kilala stopped. On the other side of the clearing lay a black version of Kilala, with white markings instead of black, silver flames and it seemed larger than Kilala and more muscular. Kagome got down and Kilala transformed back into her human/demon form and was holding the bloody cloth. She walked around the pool of water, beckoning Kagome to come, too. She knelt down next to the cat demon, Kagome had figured out and pressed the bloody cloth to its side, where there was a wound about as big as Kagome's hand. Kagome looked from Kilala to the cat demon. Kilala looked at her with an empty look, then looked back to the black cat. "I'll do what I can," Kagome said. Kilala looked at her and moved the white cloth away from the cats wound. Kagome placed her hands on the cats side and they glowed pink. The cat stirred and Kagome closed her eyes concentrating really hard. The others were coming near Kagome and Kilala. Kilala could sense them and stood up. She moved in front of Kagome and the cat demon. Inu Yasha was the first to get there, followed by the others. Shippo's hands were already surrounded by blue flames and Inu Yasha had his sword drawn. Miroku and Sango left their boomerang and staff at the camp. Kilala growled and flexed her claws. Inu Yasha and Shippo growled back. "Kagome!" Inu Yasha yelled. He saw Kagome next t the other cat demon and didn't know if he could trust it. Kagome never heard a sound. He was too busy with her healing. The black cat demon opened its eyes. It was a male cat and his eyes were blue. Kagome was done healing him and fainted onto the, now healed, previous wound. The cat demon transformed into his human/demon form and stood up holding Kagome in his arms. He was the same height as Miroku, he had black hair that came to the middle of his back and had it tied at the base of his neck(Kenshin style!!), his two tails were black with the white markings, he had the white markings on his wrists, his blue eyes were the color of a clear, cloudless day, pointy ears, his claws and fangs were sharp like Kilala's and a white diamond on his forehead. He wore a green version of Inu Yasha's and Sesshomaru's clothing with yellow details instead of red and white, but he had no armor and a sword at his side. Kagome was limp in his arms. Kilala turned to him. She gave a happy smile. Inu Yasha growled again for the demon was holding Kagome. The male looked at him. He walked over to him and held out Kagome. Inu Yasha sheathed his sword and took Kagome from the demon with a protective and disgusted look. Shippo put away the flames around his hands and Sango moved closer to Kilala with Miroku behind her.
