InuYasha's Mother Returns

Chapter 2: "What's Your Deal?!"

The next morning looked promising as the sun crept over the mountains. InuYasha was a little worried that he shouldn't have yelled Kagome last night. She really cared about him, and so did he. Though he was quick to jump at Kaede, he should have held his tongue. 'Now she won't even talk to me for a while, why can't I ever tell her how I feel? Am I that much of a coward? No, I just can't tell her about mother, not now.' "Do you think InuYasha is feeling well, Kaede?" asked a wide-eyed Shippo. "He left in a hurry to see Kagome off, but then he went up into his favorite tree". "Ye must not worry about young InuYasha, he is going through a very tough time. We must be patient, and respect his space." With that said, Kaede finished the morning dishes and she and Shippo headed towards the peaceful village. (Meanwhile, near the edge of the forest) Our hero was up in his favorite old tree, when the monk arrived. He was so engulfed with his thoughts, that he didn't even notice Miroku. "Where is Lady Kagome, InuYasha?" said Miroku. To arouse InuYasha's anger would be foolish at this time. Yet, Miroku's concern made him press on. "Don't tell me you made her leave last night, with yet another fight." Miroku was now treading on dangerous waters. He knew just how to get under the dog demon's skin, even if it was the truth. "No I didn't send her away, you Baka! Kagome left on her own terms. She said she had some sorta test thing to do. And that she wouldn't be back for a few days." "Well, if you did do anything, you really should go and get her. Without Lady Kagome's cooperation, Naraku will posses all of the Shikon no Tama for himself!" This of course got InuYasha to think even harder for a while. His long lost mother only needed one fragment of the jewel to become human again. Then a grim look crawled upon his face. 'Wait, if I give her a fragment, then the jewel will never become whole again. I can never become a full- blooded demon.' It appeared that InuYasha was not about to finish this conversation, so Miroku began to walk away. "You're right, Baka, we need Kagome to find the jewel shards faster." "Indeed we do InuYasha". So InuYasha jumped from the tree and was off to Kagome's era, to retrieve his "jewel detector". He would have to be quick about it though, he didn't want Miroku to nag any farther. (Meanwhile in the village)
The air was filled with blood as a new demon made its attack on Lady Kaede's village. "Where can I find the half-breed named InuYasha?!" screamed the young kitsune. She was an especially beautiful kitsune, with her coat of gold and hair of silver. Her eyes were of the sharpest chartreuse, with a glitter of yellow around the iris rims. Her name was Maven, and she believed that InuYasha killed her family. "I said, where is the dog demon named InuYasha! I will have my revenge for the slaughter of my kin!" growled Maven. Kaede and Shippo were upon the village gates when suddenly Maven's horrible growl made them worry. "Shippo, I wish for ye to go to the Bone Eater's well, warn InuYasha and Miroku of this attack. Now be quick with thine feet, for this kitsune has a strange aura about her. She will be dangerous." "Yes Kaede, I will be the fastest kit pup ever!" Shippo called over his shoulder. As if he were a flash of lightening, he was over the hill headed towards the well. "Ouch!" went Shippo, as he bumped into Miroku's staff. "Oh, sorry about that Shippo, I didn't see you there. I was just talking to InuYasha, but now he is going to the well". Miroku then notices that Shippo is out of breath, so he bent down to pick him up. "What is the matter?" Shippo was so tired, but he managed to say, "Come help the villagers... a demon is attacking", before he passed out in Miroku's arms. 'Dammit! InuYasha won't be back in time to help stop this demon's slaughter. And Sango wont be back from her home for another year! It's up to me to stop it.'
( Hello, it's wizogirl again, just wanted to let you know I'm still
writing. Please don't be upset when I can't post more than one chapter
every two weeks. Each chapter will vary in length, so don't be
disappointed. I'm really busy with college work, so be patient.
May God ever bless and keep you all.
