The Mutt

Chapter 4

Kagome stalked through the trees, trying to capture the scent of the evil she had scensed.'Must have imagined it' she thought to herself as she started to walk back to camp. 'Tengi had better made a fire by now.' After all the traveling that neko has done with her, he should know to at least make a fire when they settle down if she's gone. Suddenly...CRACK. A twig snapped. Now she knew she wasn't imagining that! RUSTLE... the bushes surrounding her seemed to make noise that the wind could not possible controll. She just stood there like a board without making any movement, trying to take in all that was happening around her.

Then-CRACK, RUSTLE, and Moving Forms

CRACK, RUSTLE, and Moving Forms

This was getting wierd now. She had enough.Kagome stood in a prepared attack form to strike down the stalkers. She knew there was more than one. It was obvious. Besides, she could smell more than one of them, and Kagome didn't like the aura coming from them. Kagome was also lucky, for she had no aura even though she posessed some demon powers.She wasn't a demon because you can't be a demon and have miko powers too. And Kagome wasn't a miko because you can't be a miko and have demon powers also. And of course she wasn't human because she had these powers. But she looked absolutley human, and this was an advantage because then anyone would under estamate her power.

Then everything went quite.Not scensing anything else she decided to head back, when..."Ahhhhhhhhhhhh."

"Anna" She muttered to herself then rushed to the direction of the scream. Unfortunatley she also runs like a human-a little slow comapared to a demon. But at least she can hear and smell like a demon. Right?

"Lord sesshomaru, Lord sesshomaru. The human child is now safley back at the castle as you odered my leige." came a swakky of a taod demon.

"Jaken, which direction is she in?" Sesshomaru's low toned vioce came.

"er...Ahem... I believe it is in the East that the wrech is in, Milord" Jaken replied bowing nearly to the ground.

He just started on his way towards East, not paying any attention to the Bowing imp.

"aw..Wait for me Milord. Please dont leave this humble servant"

As Jaken yelled out to the already far away Demon Lord, Sesshomaru was containg his anger.

'That wench will die by my sword. If she can't accept that fact then she is even more weak than i thought.' He thought

Then he stopped in mid walk and began to smeel the air. "Her" He murmured too low for anyone to hear. And with that a small smile, Sesshomaru sped off, farther into the Eastern area.

"L-lord sesshomaru?...Aw, he's smiled. This can't mean good news... Oh lord sesshomaru wait for meee!"

The Great Tai-yokai came into a clearing only to see a crying neko girl with three tails hiding behind a huge boulder.

She looked up in horror to see him stabding over her with narrowed eyes. She tryed to run but her speed (even with the awsome power that she had) was no match for his. In ran after her only to see that she was trapped by the dead end of a cliff.

"Kagomeee-ak" She was cut off from her sentence when a man's firm grip came closing down on her neck before you could say "wow".

He lifted the girl up and then noticed something. At the bottom of the cliff, to his right , stood...Kagome. She was smilling.

..."Ahhhhhhhhhhhh."

As she neared the the clearing of camp she already could smell the disgusting stench of the bandits.

One was holding Anna by the arms while ahe tried to break free to use some magic on them to turn her capturer into a worm. And tengi was also being held down adn was thrown to the grown with a dagger held to his neck

"Let go of my sister you thief" he said bravely with great confidence and also great stupidness. He couldnt even transform with out the blade coming down on his neck. (remember some people weren't aware of some animals existants yet so he new very little to transform into. And the animals he knew of were big for when he needed help in battles).

"Ohhh-lookie here fellas. We got ourselves the Grand prize of them all. And i thought that the little one here would be a good pleasure to have about. Haha." said on of the thieves. There were about 15 of them. Though Kagome knew how to defend herself, she wasn't exactly trained for combat battles. No one tever taught her. Her father died to quickly and her mother died only about fifty years ago, which is not long for someone who ages like a demon.

"Hey Crankat, isn't this the gal that the boss was looking for?" asked a scruffy lookin demon to the one trapping Tengi.

"Hey, your right. She's an even better prize than i thought. Grab her."

Next thing you knew, all sorts of demons and hanyous part of the gang were coming towards Kagome. With a flick of her wrist she killed of at least five of them with a bold yellow colored posion whip and then jumped up in a tree to dodge the other. They weren't very bright though and wondered where she went for a second,then came her voice.

"A little slow aren't you boys?' she asked sarcastcally adn lightly jumped from the tree.

They ran after her again but only about 8 of them remained. 'Pfft, this should be easy' she thought and leapt up into the air causing the dumfounded crooks to smack right into the tree she was once up in. She came down and another two ran back after her.

"Why you putred little wench, get your ass over here" yelled out a hanyou. (I know-weird mix huh?)

Him and his comrade thrust toward her with all their speed. And they still wound up getting a stab of the miko powers within them. they landed dead in her arms and she threw oneover to the snake demon ,who was getting fresh with Anna, and then heaved the other one over to the wolf demon threatining to stab Tengi.In a flash Tengi was up and morphed into a huge spider demon.

"Anna run" commanded kagome then from out of now where a knife rammed into her. Anna then did what she was told and ran out of sight. Kagome, however, just elbowed the hoodlem in the mouth while Tengi was beating up and throwing the other burglurs out of the forest in seperate directions. But he left one for Kagome to interrogate. She knelt down and grapsed the creaton by his collar.

"Who is your leader?"

""- He refused to answer

"Tell or your death will be most unpleasent" she said with a scowl on her face that proved she had no patience with him.

" He-He's coming to get you. There's no where to run now wench"

"WHO SENT YOU?" She really had no patience now and tengi knew it. He stood far back enough, morphed into his originall state,to stay out of their way but enough to spring into action if the crook did anything funnie.Whether Kagome could defend herself or not, Tengi did care for her like a sister rather than a protector.

The banditanswered "Chintado" and with that he died.

Sigh-"Come on then, we best find Anna"

They were walking for about 5 minutes when Tengi spoke.

"Where do you think she ran off to?"

sniff, sniff-" I caught her scent, calm dow-"

"Kagomee-aw"

By the time Tengi could say anything Kagome had already ran off to that direction. So he decided to follow. But when he got to Kagome's destination he had to catch his breath a bit befor relizing ...

'Oh my Kami-Anna', Tengi thought as he stared at a great, and powerful looking demon nearly choking his sister to death.

"Kagome, Anna is...Oh my Kami. Your smiling?" He asked in confusion.

'Why the hell was she smiling at a time like this' he thought panicky

'Infact, why the hell is she smilling at all' he wondered pondering over the slight upward lip expression on her face.
