Only in a world so cold
A/N:dear "Kakashistar"
No, I'm going to continue writing my shit until it's done. Maybe I haven't posted in a while cuz of comp problems…but I won't stop writing cuz of a low life, bitch like you. And BTW Kat, I only write bad reviews to stories that I actually don't like. And even then I don't blab on-an-on about how it sucks, I tell the author that they should change a few things, or if I REALLY don't like it, I don't post at all. And I've never done that.

Chapter 8
Feline determination
"How could you say that? What did I ever do to you?" Shintė stared in total shock.
"I'm sorry. I-I really am. I didn't mean it. Really."
"So is that how you feel about me? Is that how you feel Kagome?"
"NO! No! NO! It truly slipped out…I was thinking of Souta….my little brother back home! I'm sorry Shintė." Kagome's cheeks felt hot and she stood there arms apart.
Shintė, however could tell, no one ever really trusts a cat, except of course a cat.
The group remained silent for awhile until they reached a clearing.
"We should make camp." Sango looked around. "It's late, and this is probably the safest place in this God-forsaken forest.'
"I agree with Sango." Miroku's eyes seemed to be traveling from Kagome to Shintė to Sango then Kagome again.
"Yah. Good idea."
"Yah."
It was sometime after they had started a small fire that Shippou broke the silence. "Kagome?"
Kagome's eyes were foggy and seemed to be staring at Shintė, yet nothing at the same time, only half-way seemed to notice. "Huh?" She sounded almost faraway.
"Never mind…" The little fox looked sadly down at the fish he was eating.
Shintė, who had eaten all of her fish got up and walked up to the less-dead/strongest tree and jumped to one of the higher branches. 'I dunno what it is….but something's not right, I have to leave to night…or something bad will happen to them…' She leaned against the trunk, letting her tail flow in the increasing wind. She closed her eyes, acting as if she was asleep until she heard everyone's silent, heavy breathing.
Her bright lime-green, yellow-ish eyes flew open. The black line in the middle of her eyes looked around, telling her 'cost's clear, leave now or forever hold your peace.'
She cautiously double checked that Inu-Yasha wasn't going to catch her and then leaped down with a silent landing. Looking back over her shoulder, Shintė left the group and into the forest.
It wasn't to long after that, that Inu-Yasha woke up and noticed she had left.
Panting, Shintė ran through more trees and more bushes, before taking a break. "Shit, I knew if I ran away, I'd get lost. But it's better then staying with them…I don't want to--" Her voice was cut off as she sensed something headed towards her. Something bigger, something…
"Inu-Yasha? What are you doing up?" Kagome sat up and looked around.
"She's gone." Inu-Yasha looked as if he really didn't care.
"Who is?"
"Shintė, she left." He answered carelessly.
"She did?" Kagome sounded almost hopeful about her absence to the group. 'She left?!? Wow, maybe this trip will get better!' she thought happily to her self.
"Yes."
"Hmm?" Miroku sat up, rubbing his eyes. "What are you doing up? Where's Shintė?"
"She left. Now go back to sleep." InuYasha closed his eyes, in attempt to go back to sleep.
"She left?! We should go look for her! She could be in danger!" Miroku jumped up alarmed.
"Shintė… what are you… doing here?" A dazed voice came from behind.
"I-I—Who are you?" She turned around sharply and now looking into huge red eyes,no not eyes, red wholes attached to a huge head with fangs that dripped with poison!
"Don't you remember…..mmeee? You were only a kitten… when you came to my… cave…it-s been….years."
"You were that…spider…from the cave?"
"…Yes…"
"Oh!" She sighed with relief. "I thought you were some demon that wanted to kill or eat me, or something! Heh heh!"
"…No… I couldn't…even if I wanted…I've grown old…even for a…demon…"
"What are you doing here?"
"…family…"
"Family…." She looked down, obviously sad.
"I…must go…excuse me…" Shintė moved so her old fiend-friend could pass.
She watched as the giant spider slowly, and carfully weaved her way through the forest...the thought of family drifted through her racing head as she leaped off, almost flying...
Back at the camp
Kagome sat up, shortly after she saw Shinte run off into the woods. 'Finally, she's gone. I knew she would leave, run away little kittie find your way back home. For a cat she's really chicken. Ha, ha, ha, runing away with her tail between her legs, a Kodak moment..' Kagome chuckled slightly. But really didn't like Shinte, nope, not at all. She thought that she had some hidden desire for Kagome's beloved InuYasha. She already had Kikyo to worry about, because so many times Kikyo put InuYasha into some sort of trance and attempted to drag him to hell with her...
Yes, it was true, of course no one said it, but, Kagome could get very envious... Of course no one should blame her, all she wishes is to be loved and not used as a thing to find jewel shards. She's sick of how InuYasha goes head over heels for that bitch who's tried to kill him so many times. And now she thought that Shinte would try to do the same thing, and try to steal InuYasha away from her... 'Finally.' Kagome hadnolast thought as her eyes slowly clossed and she was finally able to sleep.
Back in the forest
Shinte sat up, high in a tree. Her tail swayed as the wind blowed. She was exhausted, but to scared to fall asleep. There was one person in her mind she could think about... that special guy she loved. Kagome had been wronge about her loving InuYasha, Shinte loved someone else... Images of his faced flashed through her head, images of the first time she slept at his house, how they met, and when they fell in love. How he always wanted to be boss, his only weakness was women, and how he curled up like the dog he is, when he's asleep... How he never talked about the brother he had, and how she never new his brother's name...Her eyes were glazed over as she was completly oblivious to what was above her.
"Shinte." A vioce came from above, but she did not jump like she normally would have. The person swooped down and carried her in his arms, but she did not fight....
