A Demon's True Nature

Chapter 6

Hello My Dear Friends...

Kagome lifted her nose high into the air and sniffed around. She could faintly smell Inuyasha, but he had probably left. There were no other smells, unless she counted the weak ones from the village.

A sigh escaped Kagome's lips. She missed everyone, save Inuyasha. (a/n: die kikyo bitch!) Maybe she could go see them, just briefly of course. Kagome didn't want to start a riot. She had been gone for a month, while the well sealed and her scent was disguised.

"Miroku, Sango," Shippo began to his older friends, "when's Kagome coming back?" He looked at Inuyasha. They had found him badly beaten by the well. "And how did Inuyasha get like this?"

"Truth be told, I cannot answer any of your questions. For I do not even know the answers myself," replied the wise, het perverted monk. Sango nodded sadly.

'Kagome is my best friend. Why would she just leave. She loves Inuyasha and Shippo sees her as a mother. I just don't understand!' Sango thought, angrily. She stopped thinking these sad thoughts, strong making sure that she did not break again. Sango had to be strong for herself and the group.

Miroku, Shippo and Sango just sat in Kaede's hut, all in a depression. Inuyasha had not yet healed. Kaede left to a nearby village to request some herbal medicines. She turned down the offer of them coming with her.

A light knock was at the door. Everyone thought that it was just Kaede, so they did not move. Only Shippo knew that it wasn't her. This being had no smell whatsoever. The knock sounded again.

"Kaede, this is your home, you may enter," Sango called out. The person stepped in, but it was not Kaede, or anyone that they were expecting.

"Who are you?" asked Miroku instantly, grabbing his staff as Sango reached for her Hiraikotsu. The demon before them looked confused.

"Come on guys, I've only been gone for a month and you've forgotten who I am!" exclaimed Kagome. Everyone's eyes grew wide.

"K-Kagome?" asked Sango weakly. "What happened? You don't look human!" Shippo jumped onto Miroku's shoulder.

"We can't be sure that it is Kagome!" cried Shippo.

"But Shippo," argued Miroku, "Lady Kagome is right there, though her looks have altered."

"But," Shippo hesitated, looking at the strange demon. "She has no smell at all!" Wide eyes narrowed as Miroku and Sango took their usual fighting stances.

"I can explain why," answered Kagome, bringing her hands up in front of her. She used one hand and gently unded the small latch on the necklace. It fell into her hands as Shippo inhaled her scent.

"M-Mommy!" cried Shippo, jumping into Kagome's arms. She smiled, petting him and hugging him. Miroku and Sango followed uncertainly. But Kilala had even joined in with Shippo.

"Kagome?" asked Sango. Kagome grinned at her best friend. Sango smiled as she ran into her best frien's arms. She let her tears fall freely. Miroku smiled too.

"Lady Kagome," he started. The girls looked at him. "Your looks have changed, might I ask why?" Kagome sighed and sat down. Her friends followed suit. Then and there she told her friends of her long tale. Including when Inuyasha had tried to kill her. They gasped and had wide eyes through it and at the end.

"I never believed that Inuyasha could do such a thing!" exclaimed Miroku. Sango nodded. Kagome's eyes widened.

"Oh my god!" she exclaimed. "I have to go back to Tojo right now! He could be worrying!" She hurriedly put her necklace on. She kissed Shippo on her cheek and walked out.

"Wait!" Sango called out. Kagome turned her head. "Can we come with you? We don't want to stay with such a dispicable beast as Inuyasha." The others agreed. Kagome thought this over.

"I'm not sure," she replied. "I have to ask Tojo. He seems nice, but maybe. I'll come talk to you once in a while and tell you if you guys can." She smiled before running off, waving. "Ja ne!"

A monk, a demon slayer and a young fox demon watched asa miko demon ran into the horizon. They all wondered if they would see their friend again.

some guy asked me if tojo and hojo were related. nope. i used that name because i dont know many japanese guy names. and i dont think that yoshi sounded to masculine.
