Disclaimer: I think this goes without saying, I don't own Inuyasha and Co. although I do own the good ol' boyz Korii, Mael, and Kentai and the Lady Maekomari and Saeko. You may borrow them if you so wish, all I require is recognition, so don't go stealin' and claimin' em as yerz! Got that!? Umm, okay point made. Anyway, enjoy the ficcy.
Chapter 14: Hisi
It was at this point in time that Kouga had promptly scooped Kagome up in his arms as if she weighed nothing and ran off in what she could only guess was an Eastern direction. Strangely enough, Inuyasha hadn't chased after them brandishing Tetsusaiga and screaming out various death threats. Was he really mad at her this time? She wondered. Nah, he probably just couldn't keep up with Kouga and the extra speed the shards gave him. Feeling a little bit more certain that she wasn't going to be yanked from the attractive wolf youkai's arms any time soon Kagome settled into Kouga's grasp and let herself simply enjoy the ride. After all, if Kouga wanted to take her somewhere there was really nothing she could do about it at this point. Kagome squeeled in childish glee as Kouga jumped and dodged various obsticles and natural barriers the Earth provided him. She almost hated to admit it, but riding with Kouga was kinda fun... Okay, so it was really, really fun! Kagome was so used to riding on Inuyasha's back where she couldn't see much beyond the Hanyou's thick, white hair that would slap her face in the wind, forcing her head down against his shoulder. Up front with Kouga it was an entirely different story. Watching all the scenery race by was absolutely breathtaking. Until now Kagome hadn't realized just HOW fast Kouga could go. Said wolf came to an abrupt stop, literally jarring her out of her thoughts. Setting her down gently she was greeted by to familiar voices.
"Sis!" They cried out in unison.
"Ginta! Hakkaku! How have you two been? I haven't seen you in ages!" Kagome laughed heartily as the two young youkai began regailing her with tales of their latest misadventures trailing after Kouga. Their story, which involved a giant snake youkai, was cut short by a small voice.
"Greetings lady." Kagome glanced down to find the most adorable little girl smiling up at her, a bashful expression on her face.
"Well, hello there. What's your name?" The girl was quite small, Kagome guessed her to be no more then five years old. Unlike any other wolf demons she had encountered she wore no armor or furs, just a simple baby blue kimono.
"Saeko." The name was spoken with a certain amount of pride behind it. Kagome smiled, ruffling the little girl's bouncy, Shirley Temple curls.
"That's a pretty name." Saeko beamed.
"My daddy gave it to me to name me after my momma so I would never forget her name."
"Do you know where your momma is right now? I'm sure she must be looking for you." Saeko shook her head, her curls bouncing.
"Nuh uh. She's on a run with Hisi." Hakkaku cleared his throat uncomfortably and Kagome stood once more, slightly confused. Ginta leaned over and whispered lightly in her ear.
"Sister, Hisi was the very first wolf youkai. To run with him means to be... Gone." Kagome's eyes widened and she was sure she stood a little bit straighter. Kagome glanced down at the child again. Saeko was still glowing up at her in that special way that children always do.
"What's your name, lady?" Kagome felt her maternal instinct kick in as she met the motherless child's eyes.
"Forgive me for forgetting. My name is Kagome." Saeko gaped.
"You're Kagome? You're Kouga's Princess?" Kagome felt her face flush violently and was about to begin her infamous 'I'm not his woman' speech when Ginta cut her off.
"That's right kid! Some day Kagome's gonna be your Queen!" Kagome shot Ginta a dirty look and Hakkaku just snickered behind his hand.
The day was already begining to seem too long.
