Wow! You guys are great! When I asked for 100 reviews, I didn't expect you all to reply so fast!
Well, congratulations, and as promised, here is chapter 7.
Kyo was still sitting in Keade's hut when the faint scent of jasmines reached his nose. Leaping to his feet, he ran out the door and down the street, heading towards the origin of the smell. His eyes scanned the crowd, searching for the person the scent belonged to, when he finally saw her. Tearing towards her, racing through the see of legs, he launched himself into her arms screaming 'Mummy'.
Kagome braced herself just in time to support the excited hanyou. Cradling the young boy in her arms, she walked back to the hut to gather her bag. In the time it took to pack the items she deemed necessary, Inuyasha had informed the others of their departure and was now leaning against the doorway, gazing at the miko and her son. "You ready to go?" she asked as she stood and turned to face him. "Yeah," he replied, "I'll meet you outside, I just want to talk to Kyo before we leave." Hoisting the bag on to her shoulder she walked outside to talk to Sango.
Inuyasha bent down to Kyo's level. "Before we go anywhere," he told him, "There are three rules you have to follow. The first rule is, if we meet a smelly, mangy wolf by the name of Koga, you can taunt him all you like, but leave the fight to me. If you can distract Kagome from 'sitting' me long enough to kill that flea-bag it would be appreciated. Also if you can find a way to remove the jewel shards from his legs without being hurt, do it.
"The second rule is, if we meet a youkai who travels with a toad demon, a child and looks like there's a massive branch stuck up his butt, feel free to tell him how feminine he looks with all that make up. You can also pull his tail, hurl mud, or anything else that'll make him mad, but stay out of his line of sight, and out of his line of fire. Leave the fight to me, but you can beat the hell out of the stupid toad all you like, but be careful of the wooden staff he carries.
"The final and most important rule is, no matter what happens, you must protect Kagome at all costs, from demons, humans and especially from Miroku's wandering right hand. You think you can follow those?" Kyo nodded eagerly. "Oh," Inuyasha continued, "one more thing, you can't repeat this conversation to anyone. You got that?" Kyo nodded again. "Good kid," he told him, "Now, let's go find your mummy before she gets herself into too much trouble." Kyo snickered softly as he followed Inuyasha out of the hut, now he knew why he liked him so much, how could he not like anyone so dedicated to protecting his mum? Now if only he could find his mummy a good mate, then he'd have a family again. 'Or then again,' he thought as he glanced up at Inuyasha, 'maybe he wouldn't have to look that far at all.'
Thank you all for your support, but I do have one small favour to ask.
When my friend heard how many reviews I'd recieved, she bet me I couldn't get 135!
I will post the next chapter in about a week's time, but if u help me prove her wrong, I'll post immediately.
I love you all. Thank you for reading and ESPECIALLY for reviewing. When I wrote this I never thought it would be read by so many.
May your thoughts and creativity flow,
