Me: Wah...uh?

Inuyasha: WAKE UP!!!

Inuyasha: YOU WOULDN'T

Me: TRY ME!

(Hey, in a few chapters before a youkai called Kagome shiroi or something like that...um...it's actually tenshi...And did you know in japanese Shippo means tail?)

(Sorry, I'm interrupting the story, but I found out on a Inuyasha website that although they are going to continue the manga, in Japan they are stopping the anime series at the 167 Episode!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!? It's a good informational website too. I think its Kagome-chan or something, one of Iridescent-dreams affiliates. It even tells you about the last anime episode. OMG THIS SUCKS! Because the ending isn't really an ending in the anime, if you understand what I just said. Maybe they'll be really cool and restart itstarts praying)

Chapter 8: Shippo's Sister and Kagome's Admirer

" Inuyasha, what are you doing?" asked a suspicious Kaede leaning over the sleeping figures. " Wha-AAAAAHHHHH!" screamed Inuyasha as he awoken, jumping up and Kagome hit the floor going, " Ow!" Miroku walked through the mat-door smirking before a feminine hand grabbed his shoulder followed by a line of foxfire binding his mouth. The foxfire was actually pink, though. " Kagome, are you up?" shouted Shippo walking through the door staring at the dressed Kagome who smiled slightly. Her pain had stopped when Inuyasha held, and she felt better.

" Yep, Shippo. I feel much better. What happened to your foxfire? I thought it was blue?" she asked curious as Inuyasha stopped blushing to look intriguingly at Shippo. Kaede proudly smiled, " We have found his older sister. Hayasa, come in here." The mat-door opened and in walked a fox-demon completely unlike Shippo. She stood much taller, like Sango's height, and also much thinner as well wearing a cloak of what looked to be fur. Her hair was similar to the color of the cloak and cut to the nape of her neck as her tail swished slightly as a bulk underneath. Yet, most odd were her eyes shaped cunningly and sharper like a fox unlike Shippo's childlike. " Hayasa shall take Shippo with her this time when we leave. Her pack is waiting in the nearby forest. Not, to mention her mate Ginta has been waiting for her to return. His pack leader, Kouga, doesn't like waiting around," spoke Kaede as though everything was final. Shippo smiled sadly at Kagome before jumping into Hayasa's arms. " Don't worry Kagome. I'll be fine, sis will teach me to be the best fox demon ever. Right, Hayasa!" he shouted waving behind him. Before leaving completely Hayasa turned to give Kagome a reassuring smile.

For a moment Kagome just sat. ( Sorry, Shippo fans, but I didn't really find Shippo much-needed. He'll be here and there a few times, though) " Kagome, I must speak with you. Myouga told me information about your...situation," said Kaede helping her into the main room and telling the others to get out. Kagome sat silent, thinking of little Shippo. " He decided we must find the other jewel. And figure a name for it as well...either way he thinks the jewel has given you the powers of a ten......nevermind. You'll be safer not knowing. Besides, there is someone listening in," Kaede said smirking to herself when Miroku walked through the door," I hope your not talking about me." Jokingly she nodded her head no before saying," Not just you. Inuyasha as well." Stubbornly, Inuyasha walked in," What? I wasn't listening. Besides ya old hag, where are we going?" "Kagome, would you mind fixing his speech problem for me?" asked Kaede sincerely. Silently Kagome just stared, not knowing what she meant," What?" "Here, touch this," Kaede said, showing her a rosary of beads. Touching it brought back a memory of the little boy chasing her, her fear, and a sentence she had forgotten. (I'm not sure how they write it in Japan, so I'm probably wrong,anway...) " Watashi shibaru anata," said Kagome calmly as if she was just voicing to hear how it sounded. Suddenly the beads disappeared to form in a circle around Inuyasha's neck. " WHAT THE HELL!?"

Fifteen minutes later he sat, tired of trying to pull the rosary off. Suddenly Kaede said," Kagome, what do you want the word to be? The rosary is waiting." Horrified of the look Inuyasha gave her and the fact of what she just did frightened her. Without warning he leaped after her...like a dog. " SIT!" she shouted, just like the time a dog had jumped after her before. The whole hut shook when his body slammed into the ground. Pulling himself off he growled angrily, " You bitch!" Scared, her eyes widened and she asked Kaede," How do I get it off?" " He needs it. He needs protection from you...although that's another reason for the beads is his pride," Kaede announced as Inuyasha stalked out of the hut.

" Inuyasha, quit sulking, and carry Kagome," shouted Miroku. Sango rode behind him on the black gelding since her horse was full of supplies. Kaede's mare was also loaded with supplies. " Don't worry, I can walk," spoke up Kagome, trying to change the subject. Suddenly she was lifted in the air by arms, " Hey, I said I'd walk." His glare told her just to shut up, but she didn't give, " Put me down! I don't want to be your burden! SO PUT ME DOWN!" Angrily, he let go and she fell to the ground with a cry. ' Ow, that hurt, of course I had to drop on my back,' she thought trying to hold back the tears she felt coming. Luckily, she was able to stand and walked stubbornly with the others although they either looked worriedly at her or stared death glares at him. Inuyasha ignored them, but he couldn't ignore the fact that her scent of blood was increasing as she walked.

When they stopped at a lake between the two villages Kagome asked if they could sleep here. Most of them agreed, except for Inuyasha who thought she was being a baby. While they made camp she slipped away to the small lake, filled by a river running on its left side. Gently she soaked the shirt before jumping into the cool, fresh water. Luckily she was underwater so no one could hear her scream from the burning pain. All the pain slowly faded to a dull pinch as she sat. After a few more moments, the wounds were cleansed and all the dry blood had drifted away along with the water. Weakly, she crawled out and placed her wet robe on. Dripping, she walked toward the campfire where they waited.

" Took you long enough, Kagome," said Inuyasha. At first she was confused until she saw him sitting in a tree above the camp. Sango had fallen asleep on the warm grass already with Kaede between Miroku and her. Softly, and carefully she lay herself on the ground, then shifting, to see the stars above. The stars that although a fake pink, were the only ones she had ever really seen, night lamps took away the need for stars above ground. Almost immediately she fell asleep, content against the grass and lying near Sango.

Inuyasha also stared at the stars before looking over their camp. His eyes finally landing on the sleeping Kagome who resembled Kikyo so much, but couldn't be more different. Kikyo had been so beautiful, almost royal while Kagome was naturally beautiful and sweet making her shine more. Then he remembered the rosary, his leash. Growling he snapped a nearby tree branch, waking Kaede who stared up at him. Then, ignoring his glare she lay back down, leaving a hanyou to steam up in the tree.

When morning hit, Kagome did not want to move and grudgingly stood surveying their camp. Inuyasha angrily shouted out," Come on, Kagome! You're making us wait!" She looked around noticing that the others hadn't even stood up yet, they continued to rub their tired eyes. At first she wanted to argue and then remembered what she had done to him, quickly holding her tongue. " Sorry," she said walking over to the forest, pretending to look at the trees while she waited. For a moment he stood, dumb-founded. ' She didn't argue? She...apologized?' he thought. He had seen her look around at the others, the look of irritation, and then a look of sorrow. Inuyasha started to say," Well, we should get go..." " KAGOME!" screamed a happy voice. Suddenly a ball of fur bounced on Kagome. " Shippo, act as I've told you," said Hayasa surveying the scene, although she smiled happily.

" Shippo, I thought you were with a tribe," said Kagome cheerfully as Inuyasha continued to babble about wasting time. " Yeah, but Kouga wanted Sis and I to check out the forest for game," he said while holding Hayasa's thin, callused hand. " Kagome, would you like to meet our tribe?" asked Shippo bouncing up and down as Hayasa tried to make him sit. " Sure," said Kagome smiling as the others started to argue, starting to agree with Inuyasha. " Sis, would you get Ginta and the others?" he asked smiling at her. She grinned before placing him on the ground, off her lap, and went off like a blur of pink.

Barely a moment later came the blur, a tornado, and a huffing-puffing wolf-demon. " Hayasa, point out to me the one holding the jewel! Now! I don't care if she took care of your brother, I can smell the same power from the shield on her!" shouted the taller male with a black ponytail who came from the tornado. Hayasa snarled angrily at him and her mate before standing in front of the others as if protecting them, but for once she spoke using a powerful, husky voice, " You will not DARE harm them, Kouga! You make act superior to me, but the only reason I haven't overthrown you is because Ginta begged me!" The quieter wolf just sunk back into the shadows hoping Kouga wouldn't call out to him. Then he tensed as did Hayasa, seeing he would not back down. The others were also ready to protect Kagome, even Inuyasha who did not realize it.

Kouga howled loudly, and soon more wolves and wolf-demons were involved. Snarling they charged at the others. Inuyasha killed many of them as Miroku defended Sango while she attacked them. Kagome was beside Shippo and Kaede who handed her a spare bow and arrow, saying," To survive here, you must know how to attack." Stringing the arrow onto the foreign weapon she pulled back and barely hit the wolf-demon Kouga as Shippo shouted," Go Kagome!". Actually, it was only a small scratch on his cheek. However, that was enough to draw his attention away from the battle. Becoming a raging tornado again, he plowed through the others and grabbed her before calling to the others to scatter. Then he jumped away howling at the others," Thanks for the gift, Hayasa. But, don't ever think of coming back to our clan." Growling in anger she chased after him, followed slowly by the others, but left in the dust by Inuyasha.

Kagome struggled with the wolf-demon Kouga who held her.He jiggled her to try and stop, then becoming annoyed said, "I won't hurt you, so stop f&king fighting me." That did little, but make her struggle harder to get away. Suddenly, she no longer felt his arms, and instead air. Hearing a loud curse she opened her eyes and realized she was falling...down a cliff. Screaming, she shielded her face with her arms, before feeling strong arms again. Slowly, she opened one eye and saw Kouga with a worried look. "Are you okay?" he asked, tentatively holding her on one cliff edge. Terrified she nodded, and he said, " Stop worrying. A male never hurts his woman." "WHAT!" shouted Kagome, scuttling further away, "I am no one's woman." Grinning he said,"Yes you are...you're mine. Its only fitting since you carry the jewel." "What jewel?" Kagome asked looking at her clothes, oblivious to his stare. "Not on the outside Kagome, I can feel the presence, but I noticed you wear no jewels," he said stooping over to pick her up. "I can walk myself," she said standing stubbornly, although she had no ideas how to get down from there. "Would you stop acting tough. You allow that dog&$ to carry you with less complaints, I've sent my wolves to investigate the new priestess, you, for awhile so I know," he complained trying to lift her once more. Angrily she pushed him away when a loud screech was heard. Kouga's eyes went wide and he growled like a wolf before placing her behind a jagged rock. A large bird came near, she realized, with two blue-skinned creatures riding...no...attached.

Sango heard Miroku shout to Inuyasha to slow down, the wolf obviously wouldn't hurt, might think she's his mate for awhile. To that, Inuyasha growled deeply, and angrily. "Shut up, monk," he said before rushing faster. Shippo called out, "Big sister, don't let him go alone, please." Hayasa looked back and smiled before speeding faster after. Quickly, Inuyasha realized Hayasa was running next to him, acting oblivious to his dirty looks. After a moment, both heard a screech and followed the noise.

"Kouga!" shouted Kagome looking over his bleeding body, torn by the demon's claws. "I'm sorry, I couldn't protect you, Kagome," he said slowly falling against the rock she was hidden by. Suddenly the demon was upon her smiling an eerie, sharp-toothed smile. Then it came down on her.

Inuyasha swiftly dealt with the bird with Hayasa's help. The body fell down the cliff and ended with a sickening thud. Almost flying, Inuyasha landed by Kagome, "Are you okay?" First, she nodded before saying, "Kouga is hurt. Could we lift him up to the top of the cliff?" "You're kidding me, right? He just KIDNAPPED YOU!" shouted Inuyasha, angry and underneath a little jealous. "Hayasa?" asked Kagome, but already, Hayasa had hefted Kouga over her shoulder. She leapt up leaving Kagome and Inuyasha alone. "What is wrong with you Kagome?" he asked staring at her. "Nothing. He didn't do anything, and he was hurt protecting me," she said angry. "HE KIDNAPPED YOU!" Inuyasha shouted clearly. 'Don't say it, don't say anything,' Kagome told herself. "Why would you help someone who hurt you!" he shouted. "I HELPED AFTER DECIDED I WAS KIKYO AND YOU WANTED REVENGE!" she screamed feeling horrible as it poured out. 'I...I'm a horrible person. He helped me once, too,' she realized seeing his face. "Sorry..." she said and she sat down. "Don't worry. I'll just sit here until Hayasa gets back. You can go," she said turning from him. She sat and waited to hear him take off, but instead felt him seat beside her. "We gotta go, the others will worry," he said seriously, bending down so she could climb on. Quietly she climbed on and they flew into the air.

That's all...have a happy week...I get my braces tightened for the second time...this sucks)
