Chaos the Shadow Inu Hanyou- Some ideas come to me while I'm doing other things, sometimes I have to sit and wait for an idea to come in mid chapter, other ideas come from IMing with other authors.
Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha
Kagome the Cat Demon Chapter 22 Like Father Like Adopted Son
" Are we there yet?" asked Souta.
" Not yet."
" Are we there yet?"
" NOT YET"
"Are we there yet?"
" Kagome, can you shut him up?" complained Inuyasha.
" I'm a Miko/Hanyou, not a miracle worker." said Kagome.
" Sorry, I'm just so excited! I'm going to help save the world!" said Souta excitedly. They had been traveling for days and Souta had gotten over his shock.
Modern Day Japan
Ring! Ring! Jichan got it
" Yes? Oh your wondering why Souta is absent? He has Chosticlatis Syndrome. Yes he feels awful about missing school. I'll call when he gets better. "
Fudeal Era
" We will get to Toto-sai's soon." Said Miroku.
" Hey Kid! Time for practice!" called Kazesune.
" Ok!" Souta called back. Kazesune was helping Souta with Shape shifting.
" Try a cat." said Kazesune. Souta turned into Boyou (Kagome's cat)
" A fork." Souta did so.
" Now do Inuyasha!" Souta turned into Inuyasha.
" I'm the mighty Inuyasha! Hand over your jewel shards or I'll rip your throats out!" said SoutaInuyasha. The real Inuyasha pounded him, causing him to go back to normal. Shippo cracked up laughing.
" That's otousan alright." He said between laughs. Soon they came to Toto-sai's home.
" Who are you?" asked smith.
" Stop acting Senile Old Geezer!"
" Oh yeah, Inuyasha."
" Toto-sai, We need you to make a Sealing Weapon for my little Brother." said Kagome.
" Oh sure, what kind of demon is he?"
" Gingisune."
" OH! In that case I'll need two fangs." said Toto-sai. He grabbed his plyers and walked over to Souta. " Now hold Still."
" AHHHHHHHHH!"
" It wasn't that bad. They'll grow back in half a day."
" Toto-sai!" called a cold Voice.
" AHH! It's him!" Toto-sai hid behind Inuyasha as Sesshoumaru approached.
" I need you make a weapon." The Demon Lord commanded.
"I'll never make a weapon for you!"
" It's not for me. It's for my daughter, I would like her to have a weapon." Said Sesshoumaru, he stepped aside to reveal Rin.
" Hi." She said.
" Alright, Open wide."
"AHHHH!" Toto-sai also said he would make a weapon for Kagome. She screamed too.
" It will take nine days to finish all these." He said.
" Alright, we'll be back in nine days." said Kagome.
" Why do I have nine days?" asked Toto-sai. Everyone fell down Anime Style, except Sesshoumaru.
" That's how long you said it would take!" Said Inuyasha angerly. An anime vein popping out of his forehead.
" Where are we going to stay until Toto-sai's done?" asked Souten.
" I smell a large group of humans not too far away. We'll stay there." said Vadimir.
They continued walking and came to a village.
" Have we been here before?" asked Sango. " The place looks familiar."
" All the Villages seem to look the same after a while to me."said Kagome.
" No, We defiantly been here before. There's a familiar scent here." Said Inuyasha.
" I'll go check it out." Said Shippo.
" I'll go too." said Souten. Souta made to follow his friends but Miroku but out his staff to stop him.
" Let's leave them alone." The Monk said.
With The Chibi Youkai
" Shippo-kun, why are you so excited?"
" An old friend of mine lives here."
" Friend?"
" Um uh, yeah, friend." As they walked trough the village, lots of people gave them odd stares. One person took one look at them and ran away. The two demons walked a little further until they were surrounded by Soldiers.
"Come with us." One said. They were taken to a mansion.
" The Young Mistress wants to see you." Said the same soldier. A girl walked up to them. She looked to be Teen to Preteen(Not sure the age) She wore a long pink kimono that dragged along the ground, with a Gold colored Obi. She carried a red fan in front of her face.
" Remember me, Shippo?" She asked.
' She smells familiar.' Shippo thought.
" Come on, little racoon." The Girl said.
" FOX! Wait a minute, Satzuki?" Shippo asked.
" Yep." The Girl removed the fan to reveal her face. Shippo smiled happily and ran up to hug her.
" How have you been?" Satzuki asked.
" Good. You?"
" Pretty good. But the Headman is trying to get me a friend, a "Male" friend." said Satzuki.
" Oh."
" Whose that?" Satzuki asked. Pointing to Souten.
" That's Souten. She travels with me and the others." said Shippo. Souten was shocked, she even felt a little, ...betrayed maybe? Then she saw Satzuki rub Shippo behind the ears and heard him give out a Fox equivalent of a cat's purr, while smiling happily. The Thunder Demon ran out of the Mansion as fast as she could. The rest of the group was walking into the village when Souten ran up to them, tears flowing freely down her face.
" Souten, What happened?" Asked Kagome.
" (Sob) (Sniff) Satzuki(cries more)" replied Souten. Kagome got an understanding look in her eyes. She called over the other girls and they walked away form the group. The males made to follow but Souta spoke up.
" I wouldn't do that. When Girls flock like that, and one of them is crying, that's a sure sign that Males should stay clear."
" And if we don't?" asked Inuyasha. " Will Kagome, you know, 'sit' me?"
" Yep. BIG Sit." Souta answered.
With the Girls
"Males are so Fickle!" Souten Shouted, after she had finished crying.
" Shippo DID seem to like Satzuki the last time we came here." Said Sango. " But I thought he was over her."
" Sister, this is like when Inuyasha was cheating on you with Kikyo." said Kathy.
" Yeah, But My little doggy and me patched things up, I know he really loves me." said Kagome.
" Do you like Shippo?" Reia asked.
" Yeah, He's my friend." Said Souten.
" No, do you REALLY like him?" Reia asked again. Souten looked up.
" I...I.. Don't know. I thought He liked me, but then he jumped into that Ningen's arms and left me in the dust."
" You should tell him how you feel. " Said Kagome.
" But I'm not sure how I feel... If he doesn't feel the same, I couldn't take the rejection." said Souten.
" But maybe he's thinking the same thing." said Sango.
" I don't know." said Souten.
With Shippo
" Satzuki! There you are!" Called a boy her age. He had black hair and green eyes. He wore an expensive looking royal blue Gi. A katana was secured to his waist.
" Hi Kenha." said Satzuki( I think the Literal English translation of Kenha is Sword Blade, I got the words Ken and Ha from Valdimarian)
" Whose this?' asked Kenha.
" This is Shippo, a friend of mine." said Satzuki. " Shippo, this is Kenha, I've known him for him for years."
Kenha extended a hand to Shippo.
" It's very nice to meet you meet you Shippo." He said. Then he turned back to Satzuki. " The Headman would like to see you." Satzuki left.
" Shippo, How close are you and Satzuki?" Kenha asked.
" We're friends." The Kitsune replied.
" Good. I really like Satzuki, so I'm glad I don't have competition." said Kenha.
" If Me and Satzuki were closer then friends, would you try to kill me?" asked Shippo.
" No, ...Why?"
" Oh, my Okasan was involved in love triangle where one of her admirers tried to kill my Otousan, so he wouldn't have any competition." Shippo explained.
" Don't worry about that. I don't like killing unless as a last resort." Said Kenha. " I've known Satzuki for a long time, and I've grown quite found of her." Shortly after he said that, Satzuki ran out of the Mansion at a surprisingly fast pace considering she was wearing a long kimono. The Headman slowly walked out too, his face showed sadness.
" What happened Kaiganco-sama?" asked Kenha (I made that name up. I couldn't just call him Headman.)
" I told Satzuki she was to be betrothed to you. She didn't take to the idea as well as I had hoped." said the Headman.
" I'll talk to her." said Kenha.
" Before you go, I want to give you something." said the Headman. He lead Kenha to the Mansion's armory. The Headman removed a section of the floor and pulled out a box. He gave it to Kenha. The Young warrior opened the box and pulled out a royal blue hilt. Kenha had a confused expression.
" That is a Trial Sword. By using it, the sword will change appearance to reflect your inner self." Kenha bowed.
" Thank you Kaiganco-sama."
" And for the Little Kitsune, this dagger was made with Kitsune fangs, no one here can use it, maybe you can." The headman gave Shippo a dagger with a rusted blade like the Tessiguia. Shippo bowed too. The two went looking for Satzuki. They found her by the ruins of her old hut.
" Satzuki?" Kenha said.
" Go away." said Satzuki.
" So you don't like me?' asked Kenha.
" No, I love spending time with you, I'm just not sure about marriage." said Satzuki.
" I'm just as shocked as you. But I'm not unhappy about it." said Kenha.
" You mean..."
" Hai."
Shippo looked at them with longing. ' I wish I could be like that with Souten. WAIT! I didn't just think that, did I?' He thought, blushing. Suddenly the ruined hut shock and a giant green lizard demon emerged and grabbed Satzuki.
" Remember me Bouzo?" asked the Lizard. The light of recognition was in Shippo's eyes.
" You're the demon that pretended to be Satzuki's brother!"
" That's right. Now I'm back and more powerful then ever." That's when Shippo noticed that the Lizard had three jewel shards in his forehead.
" Now get me the ones your friends have, or I'll snap your friend's pretty little neck." Threatened the Lizard. Satzuki bit the Lizard's arm, which caused him to release her. She ran to her friends.
" TE'ME'!" The Lizard shouted.
"I'll get him!" Said Kenha. He drew his sword and charged, aiming for the demon's neck. The Lizard demon lowered his head and caught the blade in his teeth, then snapped it. Kenha fell to his back, the Lizard was about to bite him when Shippo jumped in front and the Lizard's jaws closed around him.
" SHIPPO!" the Ningens shouted. Shippo went poof and there was a leaf in his place.
" Huh?" The Lizard was confused.
" Fox Fire!" The Lizard was covered by blue fire. Shippo had fired his attack from the air and landed in front of the humans.
" How did you survive?" asked Kenha.
" Fox Magic." said Shippo smirking. The Lizard emerged from the flames, slightly charred, but still very much alive.
" DIE!" He fired acid from his mouth. Shippo dodged barely.
" I'm going to help him." said Kenha. He got out the Trial Sword. 'Wait, The Headman didn't say how I use this.' Shippo was getting tired fighting the Lizard. They used to be on the same level, but the three shards made the Lizard much too strong for Shippo to handle.
' I want to help Shippo, and Protect Satzuki, but I don't have enough power. I'll just throw this hilt down his throat and choke him with it.' thought Kenha. While the Lizard was busy with Shippo, Kenha jumped onto the Lizard's back and made to jam the Trail Sword into the demon's throat. The Lizard shook him off and then pinned him to the ground.
" Human flesh is considered a delicacy by Lizards, I'll enjoy eating you." Said the Lizard. Kenha pointed the Hilt at the Lizard just as the Demon thrusted his other claw.
A bright blue beam sprang to life in the Trial Sword and impaled the Lizard demon. Making a big hole in it's chest. The hole began mending itself until Shippo pulled the shards out of it's forehead. The Lizard Demon's flesh and organs disintegrated, leaving only it's skeleton.
" I should get back to my friends, they're probably worried." said Shippo.
" Bye Shippo." said Satzuki.
" Thanks for your help." said Kenha.
" Good Luck you two." said Shippo with a teasing smile. They blushed. Then, with the shards in hand, He walked away.
With the rest of the group
" I'm getting worried about Shippo." said Souta.
" Can't you smell him? He's headed in our direction." asked Vadimir. Sure enough, Shippo came running towards them.
" Okasan! Okasan!" He called.
" What is it Shippo?" asked Kagome.
" I found these." said the Kitsune and handed Kagome the shards.
" Were did you get these?"
" That Lizard demon from before came back and tried to kill me and two other humans. But we beat him and I took the shards."
" Um, Shippo?" called Souten.
" Yeah?"
" Do you...like... that human?" She asked.
" Satzuki? I had a little crush on her the first time we came through but there's someone else in her life now." said Shippo.
" Great!" Souten said happily simultaneously hugging him. Then she blushed dark red and let go.
" I mean, that's too bad." said the Thunder Demon, still blushing.
" That's ok. I'm over her."
