Kagome the Cat Demon Chapter 20 A little Change of Plans

" Mom, Souta needs to come with us to the Feudal Era to get a sealing weapon." said Kagome.

" Sealing Weapon?"

" So his New Demon Nature won't take over his soul and devour his human heart."

" Ok, But be careful." The group went to the well.

" I guess I'll be lying for both of you now. I'm going to need more fake diseases." muttered Kagome's Grandpa. They all jumped through the well and arrived in the past.

" Come on, let's get going to Toto-Sai's." said Inuyasha.

" Souta? Souta?" asked Kagome. She looked back and saw some Village girls rubbing Souta's tail and ears.

" Looks like your brother is quite popular with the ladies, maybe I could give him some pointers..." said Miroku.

" Don't even think about it, monk!" said both Sango and Kagome. Inuyasha picked Souta up by the tail and carried him away. Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru started sniffing the air.

" Their's been a massacre nearby."

" It's none of our concern." said Sesshoumaru.

" It could be Naraku." said Kagome.

" Let's go then." said Sesshoumaru. The Dog Demons followed the scent and came to large field were there were so many bodies they were stacked on top of one another. Souta covered his mouth to keep from hurling at the gruesome sight. No one else was affected that way.

" Onee-chan, is it like this all the time?" The Gingisunec Asked.

" Yes, We see a lot of this. It is the Warring States Era after all." said Kagome. The older fighters began digging graves, Sesshoumaru needed a little Motivation from Reia. Shippo and Souten came to Souta and each put a hand on his shoulder.

" Are you ok?" they asked.

" I'll be fine." He answered.

" Well? Was it Naraku?" asked Sango.

" No, It was more like Mantis Demons. Their scent is all over the place." said Inuyasha. After they finished burying the dead, it was getting dark.

" Let's make camp." said Kagome.

Later that Night

" Souta why are you up? It's late." complained Shippo.

" I couldn't sleep."

"Bad dreams?" asked Souten.

" Yeah." Then he sniffed the air. " Something's coming."

" Smells like a Mantis Demon." Said Shippo. As soon as the words left his mouth, A giant Mantis demon was seen running towards them. Souten grabbed her pike and charged. The mantis slashed at her but she blocked with the side blade and pushed it down. The Mantis struck with the other arm slashed Souten across her back, she screamed, dropped her pike and fell to the ground as red liquid started leaking out.

" SOUTEN!" Cried Shippo. He put his hands together like he was holding a ball

" FOX FIRE!" The Kitsune shouted. Blue Fire erupted from his hands and covered the mantis. "Got 'em." The Mantis rushed out of the fire and slashed at Shippo and made a gash on his stomach. Souta could only stare as his new friends got beaten up. The Mantis posed to strike when something in Souta snapped.

Shippo watched as the Mantis was about to finish him and Souten off but in the next instant, Souta had impaled the Mantis with Souten's pike. The Mantis fell back and Souta got off it, with the mantis' blood on him.

" I...I ...I... ju...ju...just..."

" Just killed the demon." Finished Shippo.

" Shippo! Souta! Souten!" Called Kagome, then she gasped. " What happened?"

" A Mantis Demon." said Shippo. Kagome ran over to Souten and Shippo and began healing them.

" Hey kid! You slayed it right?" Inuyasha.

" I...I...I" Souta was still too shocked to speak.

" He did." said Shippo. Inuyasha gave Souta a slap on the back.

"Your first kill! Let's celebrate!"

" SIT!"

WHAM

" I was trying to be nice!" complained Inuyasha.

" Getting your first kill may be a big deal in this era, but in ours it isn't. Souta's in shock." Said Kagome. She went over to her brother and pulled him into a hug.

" Onee-chan, ...I think understand why you spend so much time here."

" Hush, It's ok now."

" No, It won't be ok until WE beat Naraku and stop these people from being killed." Kagome was very surprised this was coming from her little brother.

" Don't you know how powerful Naraku is?"

" Yeah, But Grandpa said Nine tailed Kitsunes were super powerful and I ate it's tail. I can help." said Souta.

" Just let 'em come." said Inuyasha, trying to sound as if it didn't matter to him. Souta hugged him.

" Thanks Inuyasha!" He said.

" Feh."
