Disclaimer: I do not own or claim to own Inuyasha or it's characters. Tsuruko (pronounced Sue-RUE-co), Seiki (pronounced SEE-Kee), and Tigonshi(tee-GON-she) are characters I created. I dont know if they are from the show or from anything else. I thought them up, so if they are from the show or anything else, they're still mine... :)
Chapter 12: Shippo and Kilala's Return
On the other side of the well now. Miroku and Sango hadn't seen Shippo or his new girlfriend for a while now, and were starting to get worried. Sango and Miroku were just about to set out and look for him when he and his girlfriend walked out of the forest towards them.
"SHIPPO! We were just about to go look for you." Sango said happily.
"Yes, we were getting worried about you." Miroku added.
"I'M NOT A BABY, and stop making fun of me in front of my girlfriend." Shippo said in an angry tone to them.
"We didnt mean that Shippo, and we arent trying to make fun of you," Sango said kindly.
"Shippo its ok, calm down. They just got worried about you, because they are your friends," Seiki said soothingly to him.
"Yeah. You're right, sorry guys," apologized Shippo. "OH, I'm sorry this is Seiki, my girlfriend. Seiki this is Miroku, and Sango, two of my best friends," Shippo said quickly.
"Nice to meet you Seiki," said both Miroku and Sango.
"Nice to meet you too, Miroku, Sango," greeted Seiki.
"Sorry I was gone so long guys, Seiki was showing me the rest of her clan, and introducing me to them, so it took a while. Sorry if I worried you," Shippo explained.
"Oh, thats where you were. We never would have found you then," Sango said, holding in a giggle.
"You have fun with Seiki, Shippo?" Miroku asked teasingly.
"Of course I did I'm always happy when I'm with her...wait you're teasing me again, aren't you, you jerk!" Shippo snapped at him.
"Shippo, its ok," Seiki said soothingly as she put her arms around him, "Its nice that you have friends who care so much."
Just then, Kilala floated down from the sky, in her full demon transformation, and Seiki got scared, "Its ok Seiki, thats just Kilala, Sango's Fire Cat," Shippo said as he sat down on the ground, and pulled Seiki into his lap.
"KILALA! Oh, I missed you so much! How was Kaede?" Sango asked. Kilala just mewed while purring, and looking at Sango. "Good, huh?" Sango said talking to Kilala, who just mewed again.
Miroku put his arm around Sango's waist and said, "Kilala nice to have you back." Kilala jumped up on Sango's shoulder and growled at him for touching Sango.
"It's ok Kilala," Sango said as she put her arms around Miroku. Kilala, now confused, cocked her head to the side, and made a confused sounding mew. "Kilala, Miroku and I love each other, its ok if he puts his arm around me," Sango explained to her little fire cat, who understood. Kilala hopped down and went over to Shippo and his girlfriend. Seiki, still on his lap, wrapped her arms around him, and put her chin on his shoulder. She was shaking. She was scared of Kilala!
"It's ok Seiki, it's ok, Kilala wouldn't hurt you. Right Kilala?" Shippo said soothingly. Seiki calmed down a little and stopped shaking, but kept her chin on his shoulder and her arms wrapped tightly around him. "You know I wouldn't let anything hurt you. If Kilala hurt you I would fight back. Kilala can you come here?" Kilala mewed and came over, laid down next to him, and curled up into a little ball, not even looking at them. "See Seiki? Kilala wouldn't hurt you."
"You're sure?" She asked cautiously.
"I haven't lied to you and I won't lie to you," Shippo reasured her. Seiki turned her head and when she saw that Kilala had her back to them and was curled up with her eyes closed, she calmed down. Seiki got up, pulling Shippo with her and went into the hut. She led him into Shippo's room, and closed the door.
"What was she so scared about?" Miroku questioned still confused, "Kilala only defends, she doesn't even attack anything."
"I don't know, but don't make too big a deal about it, or I'll hit you with my heriakotsu," Sango said to him quietly.
"NO, it's ok...you don't have to pull that thing out again, I was just wondering," Miroku said quickly.
