Inuyasha and the gang were currently following a lead to the whereabouts of a jewel shard that was guarded by a fiercesome lion demon when they heard shouts coming from the village ahead."Stop,ya' theiving wench."They saw a girl that was a little younger than Kagome in a blue tiger demon hoari, running with what appeared to be a plump dead hen.She continued to running toward them too busy looking over her shoulder at an angry looking farmmer with a hoe to notice them when Inuyasha grabbed up her up the same way you would pick someone if you were going to give them a bear hug."AHHHHHHHHHH,LET GO OF ME!"she screamed,"TORA,HELP!!!"Suddenly outta nowhere a fire cat in kitten form jumped onto Inuyasha's ear and bit down."AAAAAAGH"he screamed though not loosing his grip own the girl.Kagome pried th kitten of his ear making sure to have a towl over its head to keep it calm.Inuyasha finally managed to calm her down and make her drop the hen.Once the farmer came up the girl had calmed down enough for Inuyasha to let her go."Thank ya' feller.I thought I'd never catch this wench",the farmer said in a reedy voice."It was no problem,good sir,"Miroku said in his normal sauve voice."Here is somethin' for ya' troubles",the farmer said dumping 5 coins into Miroku's cursed hand and walk ing away with the hen over his shoulder.Once the farmer was gone they turned to the girl who had the fire cat her shoulder and was currently staring at her feet."You have some explaining to do,"Kagome said politely."I'll say,"said Inuyasha harshly while rubbing his sore ear.
