Chapter 7

Kagome, Inuyasha, and Kiotsu made their way to Kaedae's hut. As they neared it they saw a red headed kitsune carrying some healing herbs in his hand, his other hand over his nose.

"Shippo nii-san!", Kiotsu cried out as he rushed towards the kitsune he portrayed as an older brother.

Shippo turned around and smiled happily when he saw the white haired boy he treated like a little brother.

Kiotsu hugged Shippo and said," We came to visit!"

"That's good", said Shippo, still holding his nose.

Kiotsu noticed the herbs and sniffed at them. He suddenly took a few steps back covering his nose and said," What is that stuff?"

"I know it smells terrible! I think it's something called aloe or something. I have to hold my nose it's so strong!", said Shippo.

"Ugh", said Kiotsu, still covering his nose.

"I'll go take it to Kaedae and come back, okay?", Shippo said, running off towards the hut.

Kagome and Inuyasha came up beside Kiotsu and they went into the hut. Shippo was handing Kaedae the herbs. As she thanked him, Shippo ran up and gave Kagome a hug.

"Kagome!", said Shippo," I haven't seen you in a while."

"It's nice to see you, Shippo", Kagome said.

"Hey, Inuyasha", said Shippo.

" Hey, Squirt", Inuyasha replied.

"Granny Kaedae!", Kiotsu said, running up and giving the elderly woman a hug.

"It's nice to see you too, child", replied Kaedae, smiling.

Kiotsu smiled back when Shippo said," Why don't we go play now?"

Kiotsu turned to look at Kagome and said," Mommy? Can I go play with Shippo nii-san?"

"Sure", Kagome replied.

Kiotsu went towards the corner of the hut and went to get his ball from the spot he left it whenever he was not here. He ran out the door with Shippo not far behind.

"Just be careful!", she called after them.

Kiotsu and Shippo tossed the ball back and forth between themselves as they ran around laughing and enjoying themselves. Suddenly, Shippo turned his head and stood there with a sort of shy, lovestruck face.

"Shippo nii-san?", Kiotsu asked," Are you okay?"

Getting no answer, Kiotsu walked up beside him followed his eyes to what had caused this from him. His eyes were met with a girl of about 6 with dark brown hair pulled into a ponytail at the base of her neck with a navy blue ribbon, dark blue eyes, freckles sprinkled on her nose, with light skin, wearing a navy blue kimono with a sky blue under kimono and a green sash around her waist. She was picking flowers on the edge of the village and humming a song to herself.

"Why are you staring at Tsunami, again?", asked Kiotsu. Everytime Kiotsu and Shippo were togeather and Shippo saw Tsunami he would get like this.

"Why do you act like this around her?", asked Kiotsu. Still no answer. "Hello? Anybody home?", he asked waving his hand in his face.

Shippo shook his head and turned blinking his eyes and said," What? Did you say something?"

"I said, Why do you always act like this when Tsunami's around? You look at her like Daddy does Mommy sometimes", said Kiotsu.

"Uh...", said Shippo.

"Are you in love with her like Mommy and Daddy are?", asked Kiotsu, curiously.

"Um...well...I", Shippo stammered, his cheeks getting pink.

"Does that mean yes?", asked Kiotsu. Shippo's cheeks got pinker.

"Okay", said Kiotsu," I guess that does mean yes."

Shippo sighed and said," Yeah, I guess you could say I like Tsunami. But, she doesn't even notice me."

"Maybe you should talk to her", said Kiotsu.

"No way", said Shippo.

"Why not?", asked Kiotsu, curiously.

"W-well, because! I-I can't just go up and talked to her!",said Shippo.

"Why not?", asked Kiotsu, innocently.

"B-because! I just... I mean I can't...", Shippo protested.

Shippo looked as Kiotsu gazed at him curiously.

Shippo sighed and said,"I'll talk to her."

"Yay, nii-san!", said Kiotsu," I'll go play with my ball while you talk to her. Okay?"

"Fine", said Shippo, walking towards Tsunami, nervously.

"See ya!", said Kiotsu, running off to play.

Kiotsu tossed his ball in the air running around, not noticing where he was going until he came just inside the village. Suddenly, Kiotsu saw something and stopped. He looked at the 10 year old boy with his back to him who Kiotsu did not recognize. Kiotsu then smiled at the thought that maybe he could make a new friend.

"Hey!", he said," I haven't seen you before! Are you new? What's your name?"

The boy turned his head and looked at him from the corner of his eye. His eyes narrowed and he turned his head back around.

"It is none of you concern...", he said, coldly,"... Half-breed."

Kiotsu looked at him confused as the boy walked away, silently.

'What's that mean?', he thought.

Kiostu turned and walked towards Kaedae's hut, playing the conversation over and over again in his head.

'What did I do?', he thought,' Why did he act like that? His words made me feel really guilty. Like I did something wrong. Why?'

He went inside the hut still in thought and set his ball down in the corner. He sat down against the wall thinking about the matter at hand.

"Kiotsu", said Kagome," You're back already?"

Kiotsu was brought out thinking, nodded, and said," Mm-hm."

"Where's Shippo?", she asked.

"Oh", Kiotsu said," He's just talking to Tsunami. I think he likes her."

"Aw!", said Kagome," How sweet! It's puppy love."

"So the squirt'sactually got someone to like", said Inuyasha," That's a suprise."

"Inuyasha!", said Kagome.

"What?", he said.

Kagome sighed and shook her head. "Just forget it."

Inuyasha shrugged.

"Mommy? Daddy?", Kiotsu said," Can I ask you something?"

"Sure kid", said Inuyasha," What's up?"

"What's a...", said Kiostu, pausing,"... Half-breed."

They both sat in shock at what had just left their son's mouth.

Inuyasha's head bent down so his bangs hid his eyes.

Kagome walked over towards him and said," Kiotsu, I want you to ignore anyone who says those words. They don't deserve your attention if they think that. Understand?"

Kiotsu nodded still confused and said,"But, what's a half-breed?"

Inuyasha tensed up and said,"Did someone call you that?"

"Yes", Kiotsu replied.

"Was it someonein the village?"

"Yes."

Inuyasha growled low in his throat.

"Who was it?"

"I don't know. I've never seen them before. I think they were new."

Inuyasha ground his teeth togeather and got up.

"Daddy?", Kiotsu asked.

Kiostu then noticed that his father's claws were longer and he had two jagged purple marks appearing on his face. His fangs were longer as well.

Kagome didn't miss it either. 'Where's tetsusaiga?',she thought.

Her eyes widened. 'Oh-no. He left it at home.'

"Daddy?", Kiotsu asked again.

Inuyasha turned towards the door.

"Daddy?", Kiotsu asked standing up.

Inuyasha turned his head and growled in a deeper voice that usual", I'm going to get something at home.Don't follow me."

Kiotsu gasped when he saw his father had red eyes with golden orbs slowly turningblue.

Inuyasha stormed out the door, ripping the bamboo mat as he went.

Kiotsu stood, very confused at the events that had just occured. He turned to look at Kagome and said," Mommy, what's wrong with Daddy? He looked strange and was acting weird."

Kagome hugged him and said," It's going to be okay. Daddy just had to go get his sword. We'll meet him at the hut later. Okay?"

Kiotsu nodded unsure and let his mother hold him, feeling it would be a good idea not to ask why.
