Chapter 8: Meet DADDY!

'Why is there wolf smell coming from that mutts direction?' Koga thought as he sped through the forest. 'It kinda smells like I do.' Koga took a turn, to find a cave to rest. 'I will go find out more tomorrow.

Akita's POV.

'I'm.... So.... Cold.' I thought as I tried to get up.

"Sesshomaru Sama! She is awake, I think." Rin exclaimed as Akita moaned.

"Let her sleep, Rin. She is probably to die anyway." The demon lord said calmly as he sat beside Rin.

"But, you will bring her back, wont you my lord?" Rin asked, looking curiously up at Sesshomaru.

"She is of no use to me, so it is not likely."

"So... why then, my lord, did you save me?" Rin asked, with a hint of curiosity in her voice.

Sesshomaru's eyes widened. 'Why did I save Rin? Was it compassion? Did I feel I had owed her something for trying to save me? Or was it merely another test for the tenseiga?' "That is a question I cannot answer."

"But would you save her?" Rin asked.

"Rin."

"Yes, Sesshomaru sama?" Rin asked.

"I wish for you to stop asking me questions now."

"Ok." Rin was still puzzled, and worried. Usually he would give a short, understandable answer as best he could to all her questions. But today he seemed to search for answers and his were long and complicated.

"Some one.... Help me.... Chasing me. Something.... Chasing me." I moaned as I made the effort to talk. 'I had fallen asleep, and saw something chasing me. Screaming out my name.' I recalled as I lay there with my eyes closed.

Koga's POV

'Now that I'm closer, I can smell death. From the wolf, maybe? I'll go check it out, I guess.' I sped up, running in the direction of the old women's hut.

Regular POV

"Akita, do not try to talk. Ye might die, if you do not rest." Kaede pleaded with Akita as Akita tried to get some food.

"BUT I'M HUNGRY!" Akita whined, and yelled, while reaching out towards the pot full of stew.

"All half-breeds are stupid. You just keep helping me prove it." Sesshomaru said as he stepped into the hut. He had gone to hunt, saying, "I don't eat human food."

"Humph. I'm just hungry. I probably wouldn't eat human food either if I was STUPID like some people." Akita growled back.

Inuyasha stepped into the hut. "Koga is coming." He said.

"Isn't he a wolf demon?" Akita asked. Rin was in the process of trying to get her to lie down. She was swinging a cooked fish in one hand, saying, "I know you want it, just lie down!"

"Yeah." Inuyasha replied as he walked over and took the fish from Rin. He walked so he was beside Akita, then he started moving the fish over her head, making her look back farther and farther, until finally, she fell down. Then of course, he ate it.

"OH come on!" Akita whined as she lay there, begging for food.

Hey muttface. What are you doing with one of my kind?" Koga said from his position in the doorway. Sesshomaru was watching him calmly out of the corner of his eye, and Kaede was watching Inuyasha.

'He smells familiar. And he sounds familiar too. I just don't know from where.' Akita thought as she looked up at the new face. Then it hit her. "....Dad?"

Cirrus: Yes yes, it's a cliffie. LIVE WITH IT!

Inuyasha: That one sucked.

Kagome: Don't be so mean Inuyasha!

Inuyasha: Why not, wench?

Kagome: Cause I can sit you whenever I want!

Cirrus: (looks into Inuyasha-shaped whole in the ground) Ow.

Kagome: Oopsies. 0.0

Inuyasha: KAGOME!

Kagome: EEP!

Cirrus: C ya later guys! Don't forget to R&R!
