haven't seen any eps with Souten so I'm sorry if she's OOC.

Kagome the Cat Demon Chapter 17 The Thunder Sister
" How are you feeling pal?' asked Kazesune smiling. Vadimir had managed to stand up and walk but Kathy still had a vice grip on him.
" One of these days Kazesune." Vadimir muttered.
" Why is Kathy so afraid of snake demons?" asked Sango.
" When Kathy was very young she saw Snake Youkai devour her parents. It traumatized her, so that when ever she hears or sees them she's paralyzed with fear. When they're gone she finds Vadimir and pounces on him. She'll let go in a couple hours." said Kazesune. " It looked like this." He transformed into a snake demon and bit Jaken's head, then swallowed him whole. Jaken squrimed in his throat before the fox spit him out.
Inuyasha was glaring at Sesshoumaru with his hand constantly on the Tessaiga's hilt. Sesshoumaru did likewise with Toukijin.
" Can't you guys at least tolerate each other?" asked Kagome.
" No Way!"
" Hn."
" He'll kill us while we sleep!" said Inuyasha.
" Please?" Inuyasha and his brother were confronted with the one weapon that never fails to hit its target, ...Puppy Dog eyes.
' No, why does she always do that? I wish she'd just sit me instead, at least then I won't give in of my own free will.'
' I am the Lord of the Western Lands! I cannot be subdued by anyone! But when she looks at me like that I can't help but yes, ...What is this power she has over me?'
" Alright." they said to their mates.
" Now shake hands." The two brothers grudgingly shook hands, trying to crush each other's hand in the process. They walked a little farther and then Inuyasha sniffed.
" That's Shippo's scent, he was here a little while ago. Along with someone else, ...it was a female his age...it smells similar to Hiten!" He said.
" It must be Souten." said Kagome.
" Whose Souten?" asked Kathy, who was still glomping on Vadimir.
" She's a friend of Shippo's. Now that I think of it the little Kitsune should be hitting Puberty soon." said Miroku.
They followed Shippo's scent to a group of tents. In the center they saw a girl with raven hair in braids, wearing red and blue Samuari Style armor , she had a weapon strapped across her back, it was a pole about half as long as she was tall, and had two thick spear blades on the top, one pointing straight while the second crossed through it horizontally.
" Souten!"
" Hi, long time no see." She said cheerfully.
" Is Shippo with you?" asked Kagome.
" Yeah he should be back soon." said Souten. After a few minutes Shippo came walking up to them.
" Oka!" Shippo shouted happily. He jumped in Kagome's arms. Kagome hugged him tightly.
" So Shippo, what have you been up too?" She asked.
" I was helping Souten." said Shippo.
" With what?"
" Well, uh, I"
" Shippo-kun was helping get my new weapon." said Souten.
" SHIPPO-KUN?" Shippo blushed.
" I would like to hear this story." said Miroku.
FLASHBACK
" Hey Shippo!" called Souten.
" What do you want?" asked Shippo.
" I need some help with my new weapon." said Souten.
" Why should I help?" asked Shippo.
" Please Shippo-kun? I thought we were friends. " She looked down and sniffed.
" Alright, what's it for?"
" I felt bad about tricking you and your friends, so I want to help. Come on." She lead him to a dark cave. " It's in here."
" There don't seem to be any demons here, so why do you need my help?"
" I just do that's all." Then there was an eerie noise and Souten grabbed Shippo's arm.
" You were scared weren't you?" asked Shippo, a triumphant look on his face.
" You would be too if you had to go down here to fight that thing alone." said Souten. They continued walking, after a few minutes Shippo spoke up,his face slightly red.
" Ah, Souten you can let go of arm now." He said, Souten blushed.
" Sorry."
" I didn't mind, I mean, forget that." said Shippo now blushing as well. A little longer and they reached a large chamber. There was a loud screeching was heard. The two demons looked up see a large bat demon.
" I couldn't beat it the first time I came, that's why I needed your help." said Souten. Shippo got out his top and threw it the bat, He looked like he hadn't even felt the blow. Souten shot lightening from her fingers but it only seemed to make the bat mad. It charged at Souten and picked her up with its talons. Shippo jumped toward Souten and transformed into a sword.
" Thanks Shippo-kun." said Souten. She hacked at the bat with the sword until it dropped the two. Shippo made a leaf bigger and used it to lighten their fall.
" I have an idea." said Souten. She broke a stalagmite out of the ground.
" If you can get it close enough, I can harpoon it with this." she said. Shippo nodded. He got in the Bat's way and used Fox Fire to get its attention, it the flapped madly at Shippo, The Kitsune ran for his life back towards Souten. Right before he reached her he tripped and fell over, the bat was about to pounce on him when Souten threw the stalagmite and impaled the Bat demon. As its blood traveled along the floor, a door glowed and within it stood a pike. Souten helped Shippo up and went to get the Pike.
" I need to get back to my oka."
" Thanks Shippo-kun."
END FLASHBACK
" Shippo-kun, you left out a part." said Souten. Shippo turned dark red.
" I did not!"
" Does that mean you didn't like it?" asked Souten sounding hurt. This aroused Miroku's interest.
" What does she mean Shippo?" He asked.
" I'll tell you." said Souten.
FLASHBACK
" I need to get back to my Oka." said Shippo. Souten put down her new pike and pinned Shippo's shoulders to the cave wall. " Souten what are you doing?" asked Shippo, turning red. Souten leaned in and kissed Shippo's check.
" Thanks for all your help Shippo-kun." said Souten.
END FLASHBACK
" AW! Little Shippo got his first kiss." said Miroku teasingly . By now both demons had turned red.
" Let me guess, you wanna come with us now?" asked Inuyasha in an annoyed tone. Souten nodded.
" Alright." said the Hanyou. ' Maybe she'll keep him of off my back.'
