Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha
BTW, there's a PG13-R part with Souta and Kina in this chapter. It's not a lemon but there's some implied stuff
Kagome the Cat Demon Chapter 44 Minion Solution Part II
" Kanna right? Let me take a look at your bracelet."Said Faia. Kanna held out her wrist and Faia began inspecting
" Well, can you remove it?" asked Kohaku.
" Whoever made this is an overachiever." Faia muttered to her herself. " Now how to remove it..."
"Kohaku." Called Inuyasha.
"Yes Inuyasha-san?"
" Tell me where Naraku's hiding."
" I can't."
" And why the hell not?"
" That would be betraying him.I can't betray him until the bracelet is off Kanna-chan or she'll die."
" Faia! Don't you need something of Naraku in order to remove the bracelet?" Faia snapped out of her deep thought.
" Yes I do."
" Then use something of Kanna, she's one of Naraku's incarnations."
" I wish it were that simple, but I need something of the user, Kanna isn't Naraku even if she is one of his incarnations." This frustrated Inuyasha.
" We have to find out where Naraku's hiding in order to remove the braclet but they won't tell us."
" We can't or Kanna will die!" Kohaku shouted back at him. Kanna looked down at the ground.
" I'm sorry for being so much trouble." She said softly.
" Don't apologize Kanna-chan, none of this is your fault." Then he turned to Inuyasha. " Your making her feel worse then she already does!" Inuyasha was taken a back by this. He was used to the quiet shy Kohaku. Sango was beaming, her brother was in love and was gaining self confidence because of it.
" Maybe my sensei will know a way to remove the bracelet without something of the original user." Said Faia. She lead the group through the demon village to a stone temple. Inside was a kitsune kami with sliver grey fur.
" Furukitsune-sensei, I need your advice." the kitsune changed to a humanoid form wearing a grey robe.
" What do you wish to know?"
" Is it possible to remove a curse bracelet without something of the original user?"
" I remember there being a way." Furukitsune said. " If I could have a momment to think." Inuyasha groaned.
" So how long is this going to take?" Faia glared at him.
" Furukitsune-sensei is very old and is very knowledgeable. Show some respect!"
" Feh, I'm going to practice." Inuyasha muttered.
" Faia what else would you need to remove the bracelet?" asked Kagome. Faia gave Kagome a list.
" But it'll all be useless if If we can't get something form Naraku."
" Somtimes the newest minds have the newest ideas." Said Furukitsune
" Meaning?" Kagome asked.
" Ask a pup." Said Faia. " Adults in my village aren't ashamed to ask pups for advice. It's an old saying. " Kanna and Kohaku stayed with Furukitsune and Faia while the rest went back to Kaede's village.
" It's really pretty simple." Souten explained when asked. " Just find another one of Naraku's minions. I'm sure one of them will tell you."
" But where are we going to find another one of them?"
With Sout and Kina
With the pervious night's events still fresh in their minds, The two kitsune set up camp once more.
" We should reach Toto-sai's cave tomorrow." Said Souta just to fill the silence.
"Ok. How long does it take to make the new weapon?" Kina asked.
" Just a few days." Souta answered. Meanwhile Youko had taken the liberity to look through Souta's memories.
" Souta's shyness is worse then I thought, Kina has made a number of moves but he still won't claim her. I'll have to give him a little help." Then he began looking through his own memories, looking for his memory of when he first smelled a vixen in heat, then transfer it directly into Souta's mind. That way the smell would bypass his senses completely and be more effective.
Outside Shiken waited for them to fall asleep. He watched as they curled under the same blanket and fell asleep As he was about to make his move, he saw Souta get on top of Kina, and pin her hands above her head with one hand.
' Looks like they're going to mate. Naraku can wait for the tail. He didn't say there was any hurry.' Then he turned around.
Kina woke up and saw Souta sitting on her. When she tried to rub her eyes to rid them of her lingering sleepyness she found Souta had pinned her hands above her head. She tried wiggling free but his grip tightened. Thoughts of fear raced across her mind but she quickly banished them.
"This is Souta, my friend. He' d never hurt me.' but the look in his eyes was different from normal.
" Souta-kun, what are you doing?" She asked, unable to keep all her fear out of her voice.
" Making up for all the times I was too shy." He replied . Before Kina could repond Souta kissed her possively. The Kinkitsune was momentarily surprised. She thought she'd be the one to eventually bring up mating. That sooned passed and kissed back. Within Souta's mind Youko chuckled seeing that his plan worked. He looked over at the mental manifestation of Souta's consciousness, it was in a state of bliss. Outside Souta and Kina were still liplocked, Kina tried moving her head to the side to break the kiss and get some air but Souta took her chin in a gentle but firm grip. After a few more seconds he leaned up both of them breathing hard. Once the Gingisune had caught his breath, he leaned down and began biting her neck. When he heard her whimpering he bit harder making a permanent mark. She did the same. To seal their mating he removed her Yukata and tore off his own clothes.
Shiken knew his susipions had been confirmed when he heard growling coming from the kitsunes.
When Souta woke up the next morning, he was surprised to see Kina naked and curled up on his lap. The events of the passed night came back in a rush.
' YOUKO!'
" You screamed?'
' What did you do to me last night?'
" I merely made you realize how much you wanted Kina, you did the rest on your own.'
' But you made me make her do it!'
' She seems pretty happy to me.' Souta looked at Kina and she was indeed smiling. Kina began stirring and woke up.
" Good morning." She said.
" Good morning." He replied.
" Souta do you have two more pairs of clothes in your pack?"
" I think so, why?" Kina pointed at the other side of the tent and saw both their clothes were torn up. " I did that didn't I?"
" Hai." Souta got his pack and began rummaging through it. He pulled out some jeans and shirts. He gave one of each to Kina.
" Thanks."
"We should get going to Toto-sai's." They packed up the tent and headed for Toto-sai's cave.
" Toto-sai! Are you here?"
" Souta?"
" Yeah, can you make me another sealing weapon?"
" Sorry but I'm already working on another project." Souta was trying hard not to panic.
' If I don't get another sealing weapon I'll have to glue Ginfaia to my hand to keep Youko from interfering with my life!'
' I'm sure It won't be that bad.'
' Or reading my mind.'
"But I could take a piece of Ginfaia and meld it with this." Toto-sai held up a grey gauntlet that came open with a clasp. " I could finish it in one hour."
" That's perfect! Thanks a lot Toto-sai." The Smith Demon carved a piece off Ginfaia, put it on gauntlet and put both in his furnace.
1 hour later
" It's finished." said Toto-sai and handed Souta the Gauntlet. The gingisune put it on, it went from his wrist to his elbow.
' This looks pretty cool.' He thought and he didn't hear or see Youko.
' It is cool, but hopefully it's also useful in battle.'
" Oh no."
" What's wrong koi?" Kina asked. Souta blushed at the term of endearment.
" I can still hear Youko talking to me."
" Oh yeah, The gauntlet can't keep Youko's consciousness completely surpressed. Just so he can't control your body."
" Alright."
' Tonight I'll get his tail.' thoght Shiken.
' No you'll get it now. Kanna, Kohaku, and Helig are missing. I need that tail now.' Shiken felt several flashes of pain.
' Fine.' Shiken drew his sword and attacked as Souta and Kina were leaving, aiming for the silver tail. Souta heard him comming and jumped out of range, he landed with Ginfaia drawn.
" You again? Why are you attacking me?" Shiken answered by firing a blast of youki from his sword, Souta jumped up to avoid it, Shiken fired another blast that hit Souta square in the chest while before he landed.
' You know the funny thing about jumping? It's hard to dodge things in mid air.'
' Very funny.' Shiken thrusted at Stomach, Souta rolled to the right and got back to his feet.
" FOX FIRE!" golden flames struck Shiken back. The sword demon spun around to strike Kinna, but pulled his blade back in mid spin and punched her in the face instead.
" Don't worry, I just knocked her out I'm not going to hurt your mate if I don't have too. "
" Then what are you here for?"
" Your tail."
" My tail?"
' He means me baka! Naraku must want my power." Shiken made a diagonal slash, Souta blocked , Shiken split his sword and attacked again.Souta used the lower blade. Shiken smirked, then crouched and swept Souta off his feet with a low kick, then brought his sword blades under Ginfaia's handle and lifted his swords, removing the pole arm from Souta's grasp. Souta rolled over and ran for his weapon. Shiken knocked him down with the flats of his sword.
' You can't show your back to your enemy, unless you want a blade in...'
' Youko? Answer me!'
" Now that I have what I came for I'll leave." Said Shiken holding Souta's tail.
' I'm human again.' Souta thought.
' Shiken, take the girl too. With her I will be able to cause more malice to be born and more sorrow to be added to the sacred jewel.'
' Fine.' Shiken picked up Kina and began to walk away.
" Leave her alone." Souta jumped on Shiken and began hitting him. Shiken backhanded him.
" Go away boy, you didn't stand a chance against me as a demon, you'll never hurt me as a human." Souta tried again, Shiken merely side stepped the attack ,then tripped Souta.
' I just don't have enough power. Wait maybe I do for one last trick.' Souta put one hand in front of his face and focused as hard as he could on what he wanted to do. He closed his eyes and pictured a silver tail sprouting from his rear.
" FOX MAGIC!" Shiken felt a youki suddenly appear behind him. He turned around and saw Souta surronded with silver fire. He had a new a tail, silver ears appeared on his head, claws on his hands, and molars into fangs.
"IT WORKED!" Souta grabbed Ginfaia and pointed it at Shiken. " Now put my Kina down."
" I don't think so."
" I knew you'd say that, that's why I have these." Souta showed him two rocks.
' I think I hit him too hard, he isn't thinking clearly.'
" FOX MAGIC! EXCHANGE!" There was a silver poof around Souta's rocks, tail and mate. When the smoke cleaered, Shiken was left with nothing but rocks.
" I'll just have to take them back. You can't beat me."
" We'll see." Souta curled up Youko's tail into a ball and swallowed it. He became surronded one again with silver fire and a second tail sprouted from his posterior. Then removed his gauntlet. and became Youko.
" I think I will be able to beat you." Youko reached in his hair and pulled out a rose, with one swing it became his rose whip. Shiken fired a youki blast from both swordsYouko grabbed Kina and jumped out of the way.
" Stay here." Youko raised one arm and lowered the other at angles. " Petals and Thorns." Sakura blossoms and rose thorns rose and began swirling around Kina, making a barrier. Shiken ran for another thrust but Youko avoided it by back flipping and slashed Shiken's back.
" I can tell you don't want to do this." Said Youko as he dodged Sword swings. " You weren't trying to kill my host or even hurt him if possible, you could have killed his mate but you held back, why are you doing this?"
" Naraku is controling me through a sacred jewel shard in my back, I can't get it out because he tainted it with evil."
" I may be able to help, but my solution is painful."
" I'll do it."
" Very well." Youko slashed Shiken's chest, shattering the armor and with his free hand made a gouge in Shiken's stomach. " Janen Ju."
"It didn't work."
" It worked, trust me." Said Youko smiling wickedly. Vines and roots soon emerged from Shiken's stomach and wrapped around him, while a trunk with sad experrsion appeared on his stomach.
" What are you doing to me?"
" I planted a Sining Tree in you, it feeds off negitive energy. Call it a crud way to purify the sacred jewel shard, as long as you don't think any negitive thoughts, you'll be fine." After several antognizing momments the shard fell out, and Youko removed the tree.
" Thank you Youko."
" I did it so I could get so information, I want to know where Naraku is hiding,"
" Go to a village northeast of Mount. Gasuchuudoku." Then he left. Youko walked back over to Kina and picked up the Gauntlet.
" I got the information you wanted." Then slipped it on and closed the clasp and reverted back to Souta.
" Thanks Youko."
