Chapter 4

- In the moon castle. Western Lands-

" Do you find my mate and son, Shaoran?" asked Inu Taisho from youkai that stood near him. "We find your mate, Inu Taisho-sama. She's dead" answered Shaoran.

"And what about my son?"

"He wasn't there. However, there is some female scent mixed with your son's scent. It's heading towards your lands, west"

"Was it she who killed my mate?"

"No. As well as I think she was the one who killed your mate's killer, bear youkai"

"A miko?"

"Yes"

-With Kagome and Sesshomaru-

"Ow" said Sesshomaru when a piece of wet cloth touched wound on his beck. "Sorry, it will hurt a little" said Kagome and tried to wash his wounds more carefully. The wound was pretty big. Then she said: "Close your eyes, I will try to heal your wound". Sesshomaru obeyed. Kagome consecrated. She felt her miko power run through her hands and to the wound. Healing it. Sesshomaru sensed warmness and it calmed him down. Miko's words brought him back to reality. "You can open your eyes now" said Kagome. Kid's eyes opened.

"Do you fell better now?".

"Yes".

"Well, I think we must go on then?" asked Kagome. Sesshomaru nodded. Suddenly a harsh sound came from behind the bushes. Both Kagome and Sesshomaru turned to the sound. Then a low dark voice said: "It seems that I have a human girl and youkai pup for the dinner today". An ugly toad youkai walked off from the bushes. It was GIGANTIK! "Stay away, Sesshomaru" said Kagome. Sesshomaru's eyes widened in surprise. 'How come she knows my name?' he thought. "Stay away from us, demon!" yelled Kagome to the toad. "And who you are, miko? Handing around with youkai pup…" it chuckled "I will kill both of you for my meal!". The toad attacked. With help of some miracle Kagome managed to dodge, but she fell with toad on top of her. Kagome prepared to die. But somebody yelled "Dokkasou!" and toad youkai fell from Kagome winching in pain from poison. Kagome quickly got up to see Sesshomaru with his claws glowing with green light. 'Poison' she thought. Then quickly grabbed her bow and prepared an arrow. "You runt!!!" yelled toad and attacked Sesshomaru. "Oh no, you don't!" miko released her arrow. It hit youkai in the shoulder. It suddenly changed it's mind and lunged at Kagome. Kagome shot another arrow and prepared for attack. But it never came. She opened her eyes only to see toad dead. Sesshomaru run to her. "Are you okay, lady?" he asked her. "Yes, I am. And please, don't call me Lady. Kagome will do". Sesshomaru nodded. "Yuk! My closes id dirty! Now I have to wash them!"

-Two hours later-

"Kagome-chan, are you ready?" asked Sesshomaru. "Yup". "Maybe we should go. It's getting dark". "I think you are right. We should get to the village before dark" answered Kagome " Can you walk on your own?". "I suppose I can. My wound doesn't hurt anymore" "Then let's go, the village is not far from here". For some time they walked in silence. Until Sesshomaru said: "There is village ahead of us". Kagome nodded. Then she said "I need to put an illusion on you. As far as I know people in this village hate youkai". "Okay". Kagome kneeled so her face would be closer to Sesshomaru's and wisped few words. A sea-blue aura surrounded inu-youkai and when it faded away, Sesshomaru's eyes were black, his hair the same black and his eyes wasn't pointed anymore. He looked purely human. "Well, I'm done! Now we can go!"

-Near the village-

"Open the gates!" yelled Kagome to the guard. "Name your self!" came an answer. "Kagome, the miko and my younger brother, Sesshomaru!". "A miko?" the gates opened "Come in, miko-sama". Kagome was really surprised. She noticed that the people were oddly sad. "What is it?" she asked. One of the villagers responded: "There is youkai that attacks our village. It says that we killed its mate and ruins our houses, kills our villagers. But we haven't seen any youkai for a month". "When it comes?" "It must come…" the villager looked at the sun "Oh no! It will be here right now!" .

Thank you all for your reviews! I'm sorry for my mistakes, but what can I do? I'm Ukrainian. And by the way, Inu Taisho looks around 22-24 years old! Not 30!
