Chapter: five
Latmo open her eyes. She felt a great deal of pain in her side. She remembered what happen and felt the wound. It was bandaged up. Who did this?
Kagome: Ah. I see you are up. How do you feel?
Latmo: Still a little pain.
Kagome: Should go away soon.
Latmo: Who are you and where am I?
Kagome: I am kagome and you are in a hut.
Latmo: You saved me.
Kagome: No more like you saved us
The rest of the gang walked in, including Kouga.
Sango: How is she Kagome?
Kagome: She should be fine.
Inuyasha: Good. Now she can answer my questions. Where did you come from? How can you change from demon to human?
Kagome: Inuyasha she is not that healed yet!
Latmo: You saw me change?
Shippou: We all did.
Latmo: Oh no.
Kagome: Don't worry. Inuyasha is a half demon too. In fact, he is a dog demon like you too.
Latmo: Inuyasha?
Kagome: Yes and this is Shippou,
Shippou: Hi
Kagome: Sango, Miroku, and Kouga. He was there before we came.
Latmo: He looks just like him but it can't be.
Latmo turn to Kouga
Latmo: Thank you for saving me.
Kouge stung by her and did not speak.
Inuyasha: Ha, you should be thanking me I came when the thing was going to attack.
Miroku: Really, we need to be thanking her. As I recalled your wind scar could not break the barrier.
Inuyasha: I could have.
Latmo: I thank you all. I better get going.
She tried to get up but it was still painful and the other could easily see.
Kagome: You better lie down your not ready to leave or answer questions. She said eyeing Inuyasha.
Latmo: Your right but the least I could do is telling you a little about my back round. Yes, it's true I am a half dog demon like Inuyasha here. My father a great swords man was a dog demon. My mother was a priestess. My dad was killed when I was little. They never told me how it happen, I came home from playing on day and found my mom crying.
Flash back
Latmo: Mommy what's wrong?
Lakara: It's you father.
Latmo: What's wrong with father, where is he?
Lakara: He died.
Latmo stood back in horror
Latmo: No.
She hugged her mom and they cried together.
Flash back ended
Sango: Wow the sad.
Latmo: Yeah but worst to come. As I got older, the villager began to torment my mother and me. They called her a fool for marring a dog demon. After what all my mom did for them.
Inuyasha: No good Busters.
Latmo looked at Inuyasha.
Latmo: Do not hate them for what they cannot understand or control. I know for my mother to live in peace I must leave. I left with out a good bye and took the sword, which were my father's and my mothers bow and arrow. I felt that was best. I soon realize I could not be accepted from humans or demons. I was on my own and as I grow so did my powers. I began realized my ability to transform from a half demon to human.
Things began to lighten up. I would go to villages as a human girl and use the healing powers my mom taught me. One day I was by the river catching fish. I was in my normal form since no one was around and it made it easier to catch the fish. I heard some noise so I over from behind the rock from where I was hiding. It was a boy around my age trying to catch fish. I known him from the resent village I visited. He's name was Brendan.
As I was watching him, he had fallen into the lake. I could not help but to laugh. He saw me I was still my original form. Yet he was not scared he just looked at me and laughed along. We became the best of friends. But day we where walking and I stayed in my normal from because I know Brendan was not afraid and I felt comfortable around him. A villager notices we were spending sometime together and followed us. When we were far enough I changed and her saw me. Immediately he ran back to the village and when we came back, they were ready to ambush me. I fought them off but there where so many and I did not want anyone to get hurt so I ran. Brendan followed me but I told him to go back I already caused enough trouble but he said he wanted to stay with me. I promised him I would never let thing happen to him but I failed.
We were walking not too far when you guys found me. Tons of demons fell from the shy. I fought and fought but I got injured badly and they took him. I was too weak and lost to much blood to fight. I had to run as a failure. Then you guys came.
When Latmo finished she realized she was crying.
Miroku: We will leave you alone for a while to rest.
Latmo: Thank you but if it's not too much trouble but I would like Kouga to stay for a min.
They at look at Koga waiting for his answer.
Koga: Sure
They all lift the hut with out a word. Kouga sat beside her.
Kouga: So what you need.
Latmo: Kouga I want to thank you for giving me the strength to fight.
Kouga: What?
Latmo: You give me the strength you. Reminded me of Brendan for a sec I thought you were him. But I soon realized you weren't when I looked into your eyes. A wave of energy came to me. I know I already failed Brendan but some reason I could not fail you.
Kouga: I am very flattered but.
Latmo: Ouch.
Kouga: What are you in pain, I will get Kagome.
As he was about to get up she grabbed his hand.
Latmo: No stay with me
Kouga looked onto her eyes and saw the sadness. He sat back down.
Kouga: Very well then.
Latmo gave a brief smile and fell asleep.
