Trickters of Undying Lotalty

When they reached the broken down cabin Sano and Hegiowu stampeded in to check on their human mother. Sano pushed open the thatched door and Hegiowu dashed in, "Mother we're here!" but the cabin was empty, "Mother?"

Sano: "Mama?"

One by one the Inu gang stepped into the hut.

"It doesn't look like anyone has lived here for a while." Sango said as she peered inside.

Kagome walked in and impaled herself into a huge cobweb, "EEWW! I'd be cranky myself if I had to live in a place like this." Inuyasha glanced around the room and turned to the mainly dog demon Hegiowu, "By the way you didn't say what was wrong with your mother. Care to fill us in."

Hegiowu starred at the older hanyou then gazed at the dust-covered floor, "Well, not long after we met you a demon attacked us. Mama managed to bring it down but ended up inhaling her own poison. We had to leave her in this cabin so we could find you. She must have gotten worried and went to search for us."

The white and black haired yoki Sano sniffed around the grass outside the cabin. His eyes light up as he ran toward Miroku. He started pulling at the monk's lavender robes to catch his attention.

Miroku glanced down to see he little half demon, "What is it Sano?"

Sano quickly dashed toward the forest, stopped, and turned to him. Moaning slightly he nodded his head at the trees.

Miroku: "I'm afraid I don't understand."

Just then Shippo jumped onto his shoulder, "I think he want us to follow him."

The mini hanyou nodded rapidly

The monk smiled sheepishly for not realizing it himself, "Is that right? You want me to follow you?"

Sano nodded again and ran into the woods, with both Miroku and Shippo not for behind.

The monk, fox and dog crawled their way into the thick brush. Miroku thrashed at the thorny bushes with his staff in frustration, "Arg! This is leading us to nowhere."

Sano franticly sniffed the ground to pick up a scent. Shippo climbed from Miroku's shoulder to a nearby tree, "Hey Miroku, I think I see someone on the road ahead."

Miroku: "Huh what? Are you sure?"

Shippo: "Yep. A woman."

Ironically the lecherous monk stormed clean through the heavy thick brush leaving a cloud of dust behind. There was a road clearing hidden in the darkness of the forest and in the middle of it was a woman battered with a curved blade in one hand, a bow in the other, and a quevler of arrows strapped to her back.

Immediately Sano raced toward her in a frantic rush rasping, "Mom-me mom-me!"

Cautiously Miroku knelt down toSoun Yee and turned her over on her back.He then placed a hand on her forehead, "She defiantly running a fever. We'll have to take her back to the others. Perhaps Kagome could find an antidote for the poison."

The others were about to go look in the forest when Miroku stepped out carrying the woman Soun Yee bridal style in his arms.

Sango: "It's about time we thought we lost you to."

"Really now? Were you worried about me?" Miroku said sinisterly as he neared her trying to reach behind her and hold the other woman up at the same time. Sango sternly shoved the corner of her boomerang against his hand. "Don't even think about it."

Hegiowu raced out of the hut with Inuyasha and Kagome not far behind.

Inuyasha: "Well, I see you've found that poison addicted wench."

Shocked, Kagome slapped him across the back of his head, "That's enough Inuyasha! Can't you see she's hurt?" the girls quickly jogged to Miroku, "Set her down and let me see."

The monk lowered Soun Yee on the thick grass. Kagome gently set the back of her hand against the ill woman's brow. Soun Yee hissed as her temperature shot up again and her breathing grew heavier and more labored.

Kagome: "This is bad. We'd better take her back to Kyede's village. Maybe she can help."

The two young half breeds looked at each other and Sano sprung up on Kagome banging his paws on her head.

"Ah ah eee! Get off!" she shouted waving her arms madly.

The hanyou jumped off and poised himself protectively on his mother's lap. Baring his tiny fangs to the Inu gang.

Sango: "What's the matter!"

Sano growled as gruffly as he could with his still puppy voice, "Stay… together… stay… together."

Inuyasha: "I don't understand."

Hegiowu pounced onto Inuyasha's shoulder, "He's afraid that you'll take our mom away and never come back."

Hegiowu: "We've already lost our best friend a few days ago because of humans. I can't blame him for fearing so."

Inuyasha: "Seems you're the smart twin."

Hegiowu: "I just understand his language. In truth he's the wiser one.

Carefully Kagome pick up little Sano and looked at him deep in the eyes, "Is that true?"

He quickly nodded not knowing what to do now.

The girls smiled sweetly at him, "Don't worry, we wouldn't take your mom away without you guys."

Hegiowu jumped off of Inuyasha and ran back into the hut. He came back out dragging a travel bag three times as large as he was.

"What's in there?" Sango asked while helping Kagome up on Kirara.

Hegiowu: "Everything we have. Including a sample of the poison."

Kagome: "That would help. Inuyasha could you bring Soun Yee over here?"

"Why should I ? Kirara can't carry all of you." Inuyasha argued lifting the woman off the ground.

Kagome: "Then how are we going to take her huh? You're more likely to drop her!"

"I won't you got that!" he shouted swinging her onto his back and held her fast. "I'll see you when we get there."

Both Sano and Hegiowu took guarding positions on Inuyasha's shoulders so their mother wouldn't fall. And together they set off back to their home village.

Along the way Sano leaned close to Inuyasha's left doggy ear, "Inu hate mama. Why Inu help mama?"

The grown hanyou sighed hearing what the little one was trying to ask, "Well kid, lets just say I've been through the same thing. Expect no one bothered to help."

FLASHBACK:

Inuyasha saw the local physician (whatever they had of doctors back then) and ran up to him, "Sir can you help me?"

The doctor only took one look before kicking him out of the way, "Back away half-breed I have work to do."

"But you have to come! My mama's sick and needs help badly!"

"Away!"

Inuyasha was then thrown face first into the mud where passerby's laughed at the mixed bred child. The boy crouched forward so no one could see his face covered with mud and blood, "Doesn't anybody care anymore? Daddy where are you?"

: END FLASHBACK

Miles away an old woman and a red and white priestess garb. Calmly walk around the village tending to whoever she saw that needed it.

"Kiyede!" The old priestess looked up see the large demon cat and Inuyasha drop down from the sky. Unphased she stepped up to her hut as the two demons landed a few feet from where she was, "A rather dramatic entrance yee may say." She said in her usual boorish way. Kiyede quickly became aware of the seriousness in the group's faces, along with three new passengers; one of which didn't appear well.

Miroku: "Lady Kiyede, we found this woman who needs serious help. None of our training can handle it."

"You can say that again." Inuyasha groaned as he shifted Soun Yee from his back to the ground with the minne hanyous to support her. The priestess hastily rushed to the ground to examine the woman. She felt her forehead and tapped her neck to feel a pulse. Gently, she opened one of the Soun's eyes and gazed in before closing. "She's in critical condition. Miroku, Sango, help me bring her inside. Kagome go on ahead and prepare a futon for our guest.

"Got it." Kagome nodded before running into the hut.

"What can I to Granny." Shippo asked sheepishly but eager to help.

"Yee can go get some cool water. Her fever has to be brought down immediately."

"Will our mother be alright?" Hegiowu asked nervously with his brother by his side.

Kiyede took a short pause to look at the two youngsters starring up at her with their bright yellow eyes. "We will see." She then glared up to Inuyasha who was scratching madly at his left arm, "I should expect a proper explanation from you Inuyasha."

"For what!"
