The help of a Thief
Don't sue cause I don't own them.
Chapter 3
"I am Kyotanryu," said Kyo. "Just call me Kyo, and by my look and smell I am a hanyou, now, thanks to this," he then held up the jewel fragment.
"How the hell did you get that?" asked Inuyasha obviously surprised.
"I had it stolen," responded Kyo, "If you really want to know it was stolen last night."
"Ironic that you stole it last night," said Kagome, "It was the new moon and Inuyasha was practically powerless."
"It wasn't ironic at all," said Kyo, "My associate and I were paying close attention to Naraku and we chose that night for him to strike."
"But why that night," asked Sango, "If his thieving were that good why not any other night?"
"Because I'm not that good," replied Kaitou.
"This is Kaitou, a shadow youkai," said Kyo. "The truth is Kaitou is the best thief, but unfortunately no thief is good enough with Naraku as he is so we waited until his human time of the month."
"But why would he choose his time of the month to be the same as Inuyasha's," asked Shippo.
"Because if he had chose a different night, he would be vulnerable while Inuyasha would be at his strongest," responded Kaitou.
"That would make sense," said Miroku. "Anyway you said before that Kaitou is a shadow youkai, how is that possible?"
"He has a point," said Sango, "I've never heard of them. And from the way you described him before it sounded like he was human."
"He was once human," Kyo simply stated, "A shadow youkai is a new breed that can use the darkness to its advantage. Kaitou was a test for another new youkai that I created."
"So I was a test," said Kaitou calmly, "I'm not afraid to lose my life for it has no worth."
"I really should return this to its owner," said Kyo holding up the fragment.
"You're just going to give the fragment back to Naraku?" asked Kaitou enraged.
"No I said I would give the fragment back to the owner," replied Kyo. "I didn't say Naraku was the owner."
He then walked up to Kagome and handed the jewel to her.
Surprised, she accepted it.
"Well at least we have that back now," said Inuyasha.
"You also have 2 new allies," said Kyo, "Don't you agree Kaitou."
"Sounds good to me," responded Kaitou.
"You seem to be very powerful," said Miroku, "Do you specialize in any type of weapon?"
"Actually my walking stick is around here somewhere," said Kyo.
"And I carry 2 assassin swords of which I can kill youkai," said Kaitou.
"Then it's settled," said Kagome excitedly, "We accept your offer."
"If we run across a certain acquaintance of yours I may need to borrow the jewel fragment," said Kyo.
Just then a youkai came, "Where is the jewel fragment?"
"Oh you're too late to get the fragment," said Kyo, "But perhaps you'd like to meet my friend. Kaitou?"
And in the blink of an eye the youkai was sliced up with Kaitou standing next to him.
"We definitely have found some powerful allies," said Inuyasha.
