Getting to know you

InuYasha woke up to someone pulling at his robe.

"What the Hell!" he yelled trying to get up only to find himself wrapped in some kind of cocoon. He struggled to get free.

" Don't bother," he heard and turned towards Miroku. " It's a powerful demonic web you wouldn't be able to get out even if you had the Tetsusaiga."

"And how would you know."

" Because she told us," said Kagome

" And how do you know she's not lying," InuYasha said.

" You don't," said a new voice. Every one turned to find the girl that had the terrible scream smiling down at them. "Hello, my name is Suki. Sorry we have to keep tied up for now until we're sure you won't hurt us." Then she waved her hand towards another figure by a fire. This is when InuYasha noticed they were inside a forest, the soldiers from the village were gone and it was night. " This is my sister, Botan." The mentioned looked up from the cloth in her hands.

" Oh hello your awake," Botan smiled. " Don't worry we won't hurt you unless you hurt us, and we won't let anyone else hurt you." She looked down for a second then looked back up at InuYasha. "By the way what in the world have you been doing that caused you to rip the cloth of the fire rat? Honestly you should take better care of your possessions."

That's when InuYasha realized the cloth in her hands was his fire rat robe.

" Oi, wench, what are you doing to my fire rat robe?" he yelled. "Ow, what was that for!" as she threw a stick at him, hitting him squarely in the forehead.

" Don't call me wench and I'm repairing it so you had better be quiet or you'll be wearing a fire rat dress." InuYasha paled and shut up. "Thank you."

" Supper's ready," said Suki then she looked at their prisoners. There were six in total (They had found Shippo unconscious in Kagome's backpack) and she really didn't want to feed them all by hand. "Uh 'Tan."

"What." Suki nodded towards the cocoon people. " Oh right. You had better not run away." She said to the humans. " And you are going to have to feed your demon friends."

They looked at each other then nodded. Instantly their bindings drew away from them and back to Botan. Then Suki handed out bowls that they gingerly took. Kagome looked at Shippo and Kirara then turned to Botan.

" Can you let Shippo and Kirara go? I promise they won't try to hurt you or run away," she asked shyly. Botan looked up from her soup then over to the three demons.

" Which ones are Shippo and Kirara?"

" Shippo is the kitsune child and Kirara is the cat demon." Botan eyed Kirara warily.

"Are you sure she won't turn all sabre-toothed and bit off our heads." Kagome almost laughed.

"No, you have my word." To back Kagome up Kirara mewed cutely in agreement (I love Kirara's kitten mew) and Shippo nodded.

" Aww, of course. Who could resist such cuties," Botan said as the threads holding Shippo and Kirara melted away.

"Yay!" yelled Shippo as he jumped around doing a little dance while Suki and Botan awed.

" Hey wench what about me!" yelled InuYasha. Two spoons flew through the air hitting him on the head.

"Don't call me wench!" said Kagome and Botan in unison. Then Botan added.

"You haven't proved that you won't attack us," she paused before continuing. " I'm only thinking for mine and my sister's safety. I don't want you attacking us just because we're demons. I know you probably don't trust us and honestly I wouldn't either but it's just for now I promise."

"As do I," Suki said as she walked over to him with a bowl of her soup and a spoon. " Now, open wide." InuYasha clamped his mouth shut. " Aww, come on. It's really good." She sang. InuYasha shook his head. Suki pouted then frowned. " Don't make me bring out the Eyes." She warned

" You'd better do what she wants you really don't want to see the Eyes," said Botan shaking her head but InuYasha held firm.

"Fine!" Yelled Suki. " You leave me no choice." Then she opened her eyes really wide and tears started to form. InuYasha held for a while before caving and opening his mouth.

"Yay! Puppy dog eyes rule!" She cheered as she fed him. Everyone else sweatdropped. Then Botan turned to the others.

" Sorry about my sister. Anyway we haven't been properly introduced. I'm Botan, half spider demon half human demon (Sis-Humans are a type of animal therefore they should have demons like them and besides how else would you describe Yura of the hair. She most defiantly wasn't a hair demon in my eyes because that's what attacked Kouga and Ayame when they first met her. Anyway I think of them like elves.) And that," she said pointing to Suki. " Is my half sister Suki, she's half bat and half human demon, hence the super sonic scream that caught you guys earlier. So who are you? "

"I'm Kagome" Kagome said pointing to herself. " And that's Sango the demon slayer, Miroku the monk and Inuyasha's the half dog demon that your sister's feeding. You already know Shippo and Kirara." Botan nodded then thought of something.

"Who's this Naraku everyone's been talking about?"

Kagome looked at everyone who nodded then started their story. The others added things and surprisingly enough InuYasha let Kagome tell his story as well. When she had finished both Botan and Suki bowed their heads.

"Wow, you've been through a lot. All of you." Suki said quietly as her sister nodded then looked up at the sky.

"It's late we should get some sleep." She looked over at InuYasha and his cocoon loosened and the threads returned to Botan once again. " You'll want to watch your friends. We'll tell you our story in the morning." InuYasha got up and nodded.

-oOo-

The next morning Kagome woke when the sun hit her face. She sat up and wiped her eyes. The smell of food filled her senses as she looked over to her companions she laughed at what she saw. Sango was up glaring at a fallen Miroku, Botan, Suki and Shippo were laughing up a storm and InuYasha was slurping up whatever was in the pot over the fire.

" Hey your finally awake," said Suki wiping tears from her eyes. " There's porridge in the pot if you want some and some brown sugar to go on top." (Sis-I'm not particularly fond of porridge but I don't know what else they could have for breakfast)

Kagome nodded then shooed InuYasha away from the pot so she could have some. Botan sat beside her.

" They like each other don't they," she whispered to Kagome pointing towards the unconscious Miroku and the fuming Sango. Kagome giggled and nodded (her mouth was full of porridge) after she swallowed she said;

" But Miroku always ruins the tender moments they have with his, ah … wandering hand." Botan shook her head.

" Stupid pervert" she muttered. Sango, upon hearing this walked over to Botan and wrapped her arm around her shoulder.

" Now you've got it," she said glaring at Miroku who was slowly picking himself up off the ground. Suki joined them.

" So what are the plans?"

InuYasha, whom gotten over the fact that Kagome had stolen the porridge from him, walked over.

"We are leaving," he said grabbing Kagome's arm pulling her up roughly.

" InuYasha," yelled Botan.

" What"

" Aren't you forgetting something," InuYasha looked at her weirdly then looked down.

" Shit! Wench give me back my haori," he screamed stomping back to Botan with the Tetsusaiga drawn.

" No," Botan said simply.

" Fine have it your way," he swung but didn't make it to her before kissing the dirt (incaseyou haven't already guessed Kagome sat him).

" What did you do that for!"

"InuYasha don't be rude," Kagome yelled. Everyone sweatdropped as the two argued.

" Are they usually like this," Botan asked. Sango, Shippo and Miroku nodded. Suki chose that moment to step toward the bickering pair.

" All right you two," she said trying to be peaceful but when that didn't work she squared her shoulders and took a deep breath. Botan covered her ears and the others upon seeing this mimicked her.

" SHUT THE HELL UP!" Suki roared, so hard her eyes closed, blowing InuYasha and Kagome off their feet. Suki opened her eyes again and saw they weren't in front of her.

" Where'd they go?" she whimpered.

Botan, the first to recover, walked over to where they had been blown and helped them up, holding onto InuYasha so he wouldn't attack her sister.

" I have a proposal," she looked to each of the Inu-gumi, including Kirara, before continuing. " If you let us come with you, we'll …" Botan trailed off and looked over at Kagome. "We'll train Kagome."

"What?" everyone exclaimed, including Suki.

" She has an enormous power reserve but by the look of it she can't control it and that could cause problems in your group," she said looking at InuYasha. Everyone was quiet until Kagome spoke up.

" How do you know this," she asked quietly. Botan hesitated then lifted her bangs.

" What's your forehead got to do with this," InuYasha screamed, as he still couldn't move.

"This," Botan glared at him, he gulped because instead of glaring at him with two eyes she was glaring at him with eight (if you've ever seen the second part of beasties when the spider (I forget her name) is a good guy. Botan's eyes are like hers.)

" My 'extra eyes' can see things not normally seen by the naked eye. I can see far away, close up, and ones aura, power and/or energy as well as normal sight."

"She's not the only one with heightened senses," said Suki unwrapping the cloth she used as a bandana (Sis-looks like banana teehee) revealing two bat-like ears. " I can hear things really far away, high pitched sounds, and movement. Of course like a bat, my eyes aren't so good…"

"Wow you actually admit that," Botan interrupted. Suki glared, Botan glared back with all eight eyes. The Inu-gumi started to get really uncomfortable when Suki blinked.

" Hah! I win," Botan jumped around in victory then noticed the looks she was getting and stopped. Scratching the back of her head she said;

" Opps sorry. Suki you can continue."

" I was finished any way," her sister grumbled. Everyone sweatdropped these two were strange. Then the group (excluding Suki and Botan) huddled.

" They are pretty powerful, they could teach us a lot," Sango offered.

" And I wouldn't mind two more beauties in our midst"

"Miroku be serious," Sango said bonking him on the head.

Miroku; being serious, " I would like to learn how they hid their aura." Kagome nodded

" So it's settled then," she said, " They can come with us?" Everyone looked at InuYasha for his opinion.

" What! I don't need two more wenches slowing me down!"

"Are you saying we slow you down," said Sango and Kagome, flames appearing behind them. InuYasha paled.

"No! That's not what I…"

"InuYasha!" Kagome said dangerously. " Sit boy! Sit, sit, sit boy!"

Botan and Suki watched as dog boy made a crater and giggled.

" He's very well trained," Suki said, then she walked over to Kagome and asked "Where can I get me one of those?" Kagome looked at her feet to hid her blush, Suki chuckled at her modesty, when Kagome's her head suddenly came up.

" What was that for Kag…" InuYasha was cut off.

" There's a jewel shard coming this way," Kagome said grabbing her bow and quiver (for those who don't know a quiver is the thing that holds arrows) as the rest of the group grabbed their weapons.

" We're here with you," said Botan, " but we won't interfere unless necessary." And with that they faded into the background. Leaving the Inu-crew (heehee it rhymes) wondering what was their real motive, but not for long as the demon appeared in front of them. The demon looked human only it had no face, long arms and legs, and walked on all fours.

" Let's make this quick," grunted InuYasha as he swung Tetsusaiga. " Wind Scar!" The demon was blown into little bits. " Hah! Weakling, he didn't even put up a fight." He bragged.

" That attack was amazing. Where did you learn that?" asked Suki in awe, as she jumped out of a tree. InuYasha swelled with pride.

" I learned it on my own," he said.

" Can you teach me?" Suki asked excitedly.

" No." Suki pouted.

"Why not?" she whined.

" You can only use Wind scar with the Tetsusaiga and demons can't hold it."

"Why?"

"Because of a barrier my father put on it."

"Damn barriers," Suki muttered, when her sister burst out of another tree.

" No, Kagome watch out!" Botan yelled shooting a hand out towards Kagome. Everyone's attention turned to the young priestess who had gone to purify the shard. Kagome screamed as bits of the demon moved and to attach themselves to her. Slowly they started to cover her.

"Kagome!" yelled InuYasha as he charged, only to have four copies of the demon formed in front of him.

" I don't have time for this!" He swung his sword, but the demon he was swinging at blocked it by forming a sword out of its arm. Sango and Miroku also headed for Kagome but were also blocked by copies of the demon.

" He can form copies of himself," yelled Miroku.

" We figured out that much," InuYasha yelled back. " But how are we going to save Kagome." As he cut off the head of one of the demon copies only to have it quickly replaced by another.

"You leave Kagome to me and just concentrate on fighting the demons" said Botan to the others. " Oh, and InuYasha don't use Wind Scar the demon's body doesn't seem very strong so you'll probably end up killing Kagome rather than the demon."

" And just how are you going to save Kagome by standing there?" he spat decapitating another faceless demon.

" I have my ways. Suki, cover me," said Botan as she sat down and closed her first three sets of eyes. Her sister stood in front of her and took the scythe from her back slashing any demon that came within her range, without moving away from her sister she called out.

" You might want to stay away from the centre demon, especially you demons," Suki yelled before spinning creating some kind of sonic boom that disintegrated three demons in front of her.

" We're putting a lot of faith in demons we only just met," said Sango slicing a demon in two with her Hiraikotsu.

"I know but they seem to know what they're doing," replied Miroku purifying a demon with a sutra. " We'll just have to pray whatever they do works."

Suki heard what the monk and slayer said and looked at her sister's sitting form. Please be OK Botan and please let this work, she thought before her mind turned back to the demons regenerating ahead.


Where's InuYasha he should have saved me by now. Kagome thought to herself.

Kagome…Kagome…can you hear me. It's Botan the spider demon that stayed with you and your friends last night. The voice echoed Kagome's mind.

Yes I can hear you but how? Asked Kagome.

Not now we don't have much time now listen to me carefully. You and I are going to go inside your mind to find the centre of your Miko powers. Got it? Said Botan. Kagome nodded in her mind. Good, here we go.

Kagome felt herself being pulled down into a pool of blue lights. Then she saw Botan standing in front of an ocean of water with only her fourth pair of eyes open. This 'water' is your Spiritual energy, she explained indicating to the ocean behind her. You have considerably more than any Miko in present existence. Right now I want you to draw it into your hand.

How do I do that, asked Kagome still in shock of being told that all this was her Spiritual energy.

Pretend you have that water in your hand. Replied Botan. So that's what she did and to her surprise her hand started to glow pink. Very good, exclaimed Botan. You're a fast learner, I thought this was going to take longer but since you're this far already for now all I want you to do is do what you did to your hand except to your whole body and push out. Not too hard just like if you were pushing yourself up from the ground. Kagome nodded and started to collect the pink light around her body watching in fascination as her body part lit up. I'm going to have to leave you now, said Botan. I don't want to get purified. Kagome nodded

See you on the other side, she said with a grin as her body became totally consumed by the light. A few seconds after Botan left she pushed out.


Botan retracted the thread she used to talk to Kagome in her mind. Then she pulled a purple piece of cloth out of her bag.

" Suki," her sister turned at the sound of her name. "I want you to take Shippo, Miroku and Sango away from the battle, Kirara should follow. Get as far away as you can. I'll take care of InuYasha." Botan said. Suki nodded and, wasting no time, bat wings grew out of her back. When they were done growing she took off grabbing Miroku and Sango away from their fight.

"What are you doing!" screamed Sango " Kagome's still back there!" Suki said nothing as she picked Shippo up in her teeth. Having no room for him in her arms with the two humans struggling so much. She skimmed along the top of the trees.

What do these people eat, Suki thought as Miroku tried to purify her arm but the sutra dissolved.

"Put us down," Miroku said, "or I'll suck you into my wind tunnel." Suki looked at him with her big puppy dog eyes but couldn't reply thanks to the young kitsune in her mouth. Miroku gave in to the eyes.

Muahahahah no one can resist my eyes, thought Suki as she sped up so that Kirara wouldn't catch up until she landed. Then she could subdue them without the extra weight after all that, all she had to do was wait for Botan, InuYasha and Kagome.


Sis-Sorry I had to stop there but I was getting tired of this chapter. This is the longest chapter yet so I hope you're happy. glares at Suki I had to do this all by myself.
