The Loyalty of the Wolves
Seine: People are liking this! WOW! YIPPEE!
Kouga: Seine doesn't own nothing.
Seine: Thank you all for the wondrous reviews! They're coming in so fast, I can't keep up!
Sango sighed, absent-mindedly staring at her new claws, seeming to grow within the time it took to arrive to the group.
" What's going on is this... I was walking, and a bunch of stupid villagers wanted to kill a poor little wolf pup. So I killed them and saved the wolf pup. I went with Hakkaku and Ginta to Kouga's den, had a great time, became a wolf tribe member and now I'm here. Is that good enough for you folks? Can we get going now?" Sango explained briefly, turning to the direction they should be headed. Kagome went and stood beside Sango.
" Good enough for me. Let's go, guys, it's going to be a BEAUTIFUL day, and I don't want to miss it!" Kagome explained, launching her finger in the air. Kirara mewed, and they were off, all though Inuyasha and Miroku stayed behind, still staring at the back of Sango's head, stunned. Finally, Shippo started talking from Kagome's shoulder.
" Sango, you have a pretty tail." Sango looked down at Shippo and smiled.
" Why, thank you Shippo... Wait a minute... I smell a demon!" Sango exclaimed, stopping in her tracks and sniffing the air. Inuyasha smelt the air.
" Your right. It's a pretty awful stench, too." Sango snarled in her throat, and subconsciously cracked her knuckles. Suddenly, the morning sky was filled with shrieks. Sango looked up, and cried out.
" Dragons! And a whole lot of them!" Kagome looked up, and readied her bow.
" One of them has a jewel shard!" Inuyasha drew Tetsusaiga, and Miroku gripped his prayer beads. The dragons swooped in, about 10 of them. The largest one shot a large fireball at Kagome. Sango dove forward and lifted Kagome, jumping to the side. The area where Kagome had been was smoldering. Inuyasha leapt forward.
" Wind Scar!" The blinding light killed about 7 of the dragons, shattering them to pieces. There were 2 left, but Miroku quickly did the math.
" One of the dragons is missing!" Sango leapt high into the air, a feat that she would have never normally performed, and kicked hard to the left. She connected with something invisible, sending the invisible dragon into the ground, skidding up dirt. A dragon swooped and tried to attack Sango from behind. She whipped around and clawed it across the face, the blood flying off of her claws and she landed on the ground, pouncing on the fallen dragon, tearing deep into it's flesh, the one spot where it's hard scales wouldn't deflect her newly grown claws.
" Wind Tunnel!" Miroku sucked up the last visible dragon into his tunnel, and Sango had finished with the dragon laying dead on the dirt path. Blood was covering her hands. Kagome looked around.
" There!" She pointed to behind Inuyasha. He whirled around and unleashed the Wind Scar, and the invisible menace was done, the jewel shard falling to the ground. Kagome picked it up, instantly purifying it. Inuyasha walked over to Sango.
" Good work, Sango. Didn't expect that much power out of you." Sango blinked, staring at her hands. She flicked the excess blood off of her hands, and washed the rest off in a nearby stream. Kagome put a hand on Sango's shoulder when she stood up.
" Thanks Sango, for saving me." Sango laughed and waved it off.
" No problem, Kagome, anytime." Miroku walked over to Sango, and Kagome walked over to Inuyasha.
" Sango, may I-"
" No." Sango said briskly, and began walking, the tail from the pelt swishing in her wake. The others followed. Inuyasha caught up with Sango, and sniffed the air.
" Your scent changed a bit. You must have really been accepted as a wolf. You just better not steal my victories." Sango burst into laughter, giving Inuyasha a smack on the back, making him lurch forward a bit.
" Well, we'll see about that. Just don't be worrying about my scent, it's Kagome's your going to watch about, I've already noticed she's in heat, haven't you?" Inuyasha blushed, and nodded.
" Yeah, I'm trying to avoid her. I don't... well, you know." Sango let out another chuckle.
" Course I know. Just remember, I'm still the same person if you need to talk. Although your too stubborn to do so, hehe." She smirked as Inuyasha growled a bit, and she growled back, nudging him over with her shoulder. He half tackled her back, and this continued, both pushing each other over. Kagome and Miroku sweat dropped as Sango pushed Inuyasha, sending him flying into a tree.
" Whoops, did I do that?" Inuyasha came back, and then Sango flew into a tree. She came back, and the two from behind burst into uncontrollable laughter. Sango and Inuyasha looked back, a confused look on both of their faces.
" What?" They said in unison, causing Kagome and Miroku to burst into even more laughter. Inuyasha shrugged, and they continued walking.
" Hey, Sango," Inuyasha started, turning to the slayer gone wolf. " Since you've gotten fangs and become a demon tribe member, does that make you a hanyou or something?" Sango looked up, resting her hands behind her head.
" Well, I think so. I mean, I can already feel that Hiraikotsu seems lighter then usual, and I could smell things I NEVER would have before. I can certainly jump higher, and I feel faster. I can even hear the jewel shards clinking in the bottle Kagome keeps them in. Is that what you feel?" Inuyasha nodded.
" It's weird... You're suddenly just like me. Kind of a scary thought." Sango tried to suppress a laugh.
" Ya, wouldn't want another Inuyasha running around. I feel more confident though, even around that lecher." Sango sighed, and absent-mindedly stroked Kirara. The neko mewed softly. Kagome stopped abruptly.
" OH NO! I FORGOT I HAVE A TEST TOMORROW! WE HAVE TO GO BACK, NOW!" Inuyasha growled.
" Well why didn't you think of that earlier?" He asked, standing before Kagome. She shrugged.
" I was too caught up in jewel hunting... Oh well, I'm going back. Are you coming, Inuyasha?" Inuyasha simple feh'd, and walked away, standing his ground.
" I'm not giving you a ride." He said stubbornly, hoping it would keep her in the feudal era. Sango sighed, and shook her head.
" I'll give you a ride, Kagome. I want to try out this new speed. Besides, Kirara can keep Inuyasha and the monk safe. See you all later." Sango stated, folding her kimono into a small carrying pouch. She removed Hiraikotsu, and kneeled down. " Hop on, Kags." Kagome climbed on to her back, and let out an 'oof ' when Sango placed Hiraikotsu on Kagome's back, the strap looping around both of them. Sango took off, her speed easily matching Inuyasha's, though she was at a comfortable jog.
" Thanks, Sango. Hey, do you want to come back with me? We could tell Kaede." Sango thought about it for a moment.
" Well, since it's only a day... Sure, I'll check it out." Kagome smiled, and let out a little scream when Sango leaped over a wide river.
" Great!"
Although I'll miss Kouga... Oh well, Kaede will tell him if he comes looking for me. I doubt he will though... He probably still has feelings for Kagome. And where's Kohaku, haven't seen him or Kagura and Kanna for a long time. Or Kikyou, but that's good for Kagome. Blah, too many K's! Ha, at least I'm an S!
