Chapter 16: Girl Talk, Secrets, and the New Demon Oh My!
By InuShemeeko
Kagome sighed as she slid into the warm water. The warm water felt good against her tired body. She thought to herself as the warm water soaked into her body.
'Wow, it's now been a month and a half since my birthday.'
Kagome blushed lightly as she recalled what had happened the night of her birthday. She was brought back to her senses when a voice spoke from behind her.
"Mind if I join you Kagome?"
Kagome looked to her side to see Shimiko standing there.
"You want to join me in the hot springs?"
Shimiko nodded her head at Kagome.
"Yes, I would, that is if it is alright with you."
Kagome's eyes widened as she looked at Shimiko.
"Yes, of course you can."
Shimiko disrobed and then slid into the water.
"Ahhhh. That hits the spot."
Now that she was so close to Kagome. Shimiko picked up on a scent that she had not smelled before. She then caught Kagome glazing down on her grown abdominal area. Kagome realized she had been staring when Shimiko's amber-green eyes connected with her brown. She then quickly looked away.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been staring."
Shimiko smiled softly over at her.
"It's fine, Kagome. I should be the one saying I'm sorry."
Kagome looked back over at Shimiko.
"Sorry for what Shimiko?"
*****************************************
A pair of keen green eyes scanned their surroundings. As a K-9 nose smelled the air. A pair of pointy fuzzy orange dog ears with black and brown spots on then flicked back and froth as they listened to each sound of the forest. The winter wind blew her orange hair into her face. A mumbled curse passed from her lips as she looked around.
"Damn you to hell Yasahiro. Wait till I get my claws on you."
The female demon sighed as she sat down on a log. She hated her family sometimes. However, no matter how hard she tried she couldn't stay mad at her human mother for long. It broke her heart to be labeled a half- breed. Her father had also been labeled a half-breed. However, it had not been humans, who had labeled him, it had been other demons. Leiko sighed once more as she thought about her father's family tree.
Leiko's father Haku had been half dog demon and half fox demon. However the fox in Haku had never really surfaced. It wasn't until Leiko came along did the fox show itself. Leiko had always guessed the spots had come from the dog demon in her father.
Leiko jerked on the turquoise beads that Yasahiro had placed on her neck. Leiko noticed that there were cravings on the beads; bone beads were laced in with the turquoise ones. Her green eyes flashed with anger as she thought back to what Yasahiro had told her.
~~~~Flashback~~~~
"The necklace I have placed on your neck is to make sure you protect my sister while she is in her delicate condition. Disobey or try to run and there will be a price."
He had then turned and looked at her with his beautiful bronze eyes. She could have gotten lost in those eyes that day. However, she had let her pride get the best of her. Leiko had tried to go in the direction away from Shimiko and she had gotten zapped so of course she had to go back and do as she had been asked.
~~~~End Flashback~~~~
Leiko shook her head all in all Yasahiro was very kind and caring. When protecting the ones he loved he could become hard and firm. The way Yasahiro looks at her sometimes Leiko wonders if protecting his sister was all he truly wanted from her.
*****************************************************
Kagome's eyes widened when she realized what Shimiko was referring too.
"Oh. You're talking about what happened in the cave between you and Inuyasha."
Shimiko nodded her head in response.
"Yes, I'm sure you know that there is a chance that the pups I carry could both be Inuyasha's."
Kagome could see the regret and sorrow in Shimiko's eyes. She slowly reached out and touched Shimiko's shoulder.
"It's okay, I don't blame either one of you. You and Inuyasha weren't yourselves."
Shimiko looked over at Kagome and smiled before she made a comment about the mark on her neck.
"I see that you and Inuyasha have become one with one another."
Kagome blushed lightly as she nodded. She then realized her right hand lay on her abdominal area. However, Kagome did not move her hand away. Shimiko glanced over at Kagome and saw where her right hand lay. She smiled lightly over at her.
"Don't worry Kagome, I'm sure it won't be long before you conceive a child for Inuyasha."
Kagome couldn't hide the bright blush that slipped into her cheeks. She then had realized that Shimiko had seen where her hand was. A voice spoke to Kagome and Shimiko from a distance behind the bushes.
"Hey, Kagome are you and Shimiko finished we need to get moving."
The two females knew that the voice belonged to Inuyasha. Kagome replied softly back to him.
"Coming Inuyasha."
Now dried cleaned and feeling refreshed Kagome and Shimiko and Co. moved on their journey. As they made their way down a narrow path, Kagome stopped suddenly and gasped. When Inuyasha's sensitive ears picked up Kagome's gasp and turned quickly to face her.
"Kagome. What is it? What's wrong?"
"There's a pretty big demon heading this way, and it's got a jewel shard with it."
Inuyasha then unsheathed the Tetsusaiga.
"Let him come I'm ready for him."
Within seconds Inuyasha got his wish as a huge puma demon crashed into the clearing. Unfortunately before Inuyasha could attack, the cat's huge massive claws hit Inuyasha across the chest. The demon's attack had carried such a punch; Inuyasha was tossed backwards into a tree. The tree then slip in half from the force of Inuyasha's impact. Kagome screamed as she watched Inuyasha fly through the air.
"Inu...yasha!"
Kagome then turned quickly to go and run toward Inuyasha. However, Shimiko's voice stopped her in her tracks.
"Kagome, don't move!"
The large feral demon quickly turned and stared at Shimiko. It then spoke to her with an evil grin on its face.
" That's right stay still so I can kill both of you and sink my teeth into some tender flesh."
*****************************
Leiko flinched as her nose picked up the smell of a demon close to Shimiko.
"Damn it. It got to her before I did, if it thinks it can out smart me it's got another thing coming."
The puma demon started to approach Shimiko. Just as it was about to attack dozens of tree vines sprang out of the ground, the vines started to wrap themselves around the demons hind legs. The puma demon fought against the vines as they started to break. A feminine voice then spoke from shadows of the trees.
"Aw, you broke them do you have any idea how long it took me to grow them?"
A ball of green fire then ripped through the air hitting the demon in the chest. Miroku and Sango watched in amazement. Miroku looked down at Shippou and spoke.
"Shippou, I must ask you wasn't that indeed some kind of fox fire that was used against the demon?"
Shippou nodded his head.
"It sure looked that way to me Miroku. Only it wasn't blue like fox fire is."
"I see."
Leiko stepped out of the shadows, Shimiko gasped when she saw her face.
"Leiko."
Leiko smiled over at Shimiko.
"Gee, can't you stay out of trouble. Oh and there is no getting rid of me. Your lovely brother has placed me by your side until the child is born. He wishes no harm to come to it."
Inuyasha was slowly coming too, his eyes were slowly focusing on the demon standing in front of them. Kagome noticed Inuyasha waking up.
"Inuyasha, your awake are you ok? I was worried about you."
"Feh. I'm fine."
However, he knew that he was in bad shape. He could barely move without pain shooting through his body.
'Damn, I can't move. Damn it, another demon. Wait a minute she only half demon, and she is protecting us. But Why?'
The puma demon sneered at Leiko.
"I'll just kill you all!"
Leiko shook her head.
"Sorry can't let you do that. Fox Fire!"
The demon stumbled backwards. A burn could be seen on his chest. He then laughed.
"Do you really think a half bred like you could kill a demon like me?"
Leiko's spotted ears twitched as she glared at the demon.
"Well, we're about to find out. Claws of Iron!"
The puma demon screamed as his chest was ripped open. Within minutes he was gone. Leiko took in a couple of quick breaths as she looked at Shimiko.
"Hey, if you have a beef about me being here. Take it up with Yasahiro he sent me here."
Leiko then lifted the necklace up for Shimiko to see.
"As long as I have this thing on my neck I belong to your brother."
Leiko turned to jump up into the trees as the wind changed it course. Leiko sniffed the air, and then turned quickly to look at Kagome.
"Oh no, hell no Yasahiro never said I would be protecting two of you. Damn it this can not be happening to me."
