Chapter Two: The Rescue
xXx Inuyasha and the Others xXx
Inuyasha lifted his head when he heard a scream coming from near by. Him, Kirara, and a sleeping Miroku were waiting for Sango, Kagome, and Shippo to finish bathing. All of a sudden a female hanyou came running into the clearing. She was panicking so she tripped and fell to her hands and knees. She flipped over and looked in front of her. Her violet eyes filled with fear. Inuyasha ran over to her.
"Daijoubu?" he asked as he kneeled in front of her.
She gasped (she didn't know that he or Miroku was there). She then looked over his shoulder and growled. Inuyasha the caught the scent of a kage youkai. He stood and drew the tetsusaiga. The youkai stopped when he seen Inuyasha.
"Stand aside zasshu!" ordered the youkai, "This is none of your concern."
"Why are you after her!" asked Inuyasha with a growl.
"She ruins the kage hanyou tribes name for being a hanyou, so I have been ordered to kill her."
"Just because she's a hanyou?"
"Yes. And now for interfering you will die as well," the youkai took out a sword with a glowing black aura.
Inuyasha growled as the youkai charged at him. But his attack was blocked by Inuyasha (who threw him back).
"Wind scar!" he bellowed as he used the attack.
The youkai was thrown back against a tree. Inuyasha the put the tetsusaiga away and charged at the youkai.
"Iron reaver!" he sliced at the youkai's throat.
The youkai then took his last breathe and died. Inuyasha turned back to the girl.
"Daijoubu?" he asked again.
"No one would ever bother trying to protect me but father why would you?" she asked.
"I wouldn't want to watch you get killed... just because you're a hanyou," he said.
"You're just like my father," she said as she put her arms in her sleeves and sat cross-legged.
It looked like she was trying to hold in tears but she couldn't. She then started crying with her face in her clawed hands. Inuyasha put his arms around her trying to comfort her. Sango, Kagome, and Shippo the came from bathing. Kagome was the first to see Taka.
"Inuyasha... who's that?" she asked when she seen Inuyasha holding Taka.
"This is..." he trailed off and looked at Taka.
"Taka.." Taka finished the sentence.
"Why are you crying Taka?" asked Sango softly.
"My otou-san died to another kage youkai who wanted to be leader. Before he died he told me to run because the youkai hates hanyous and would kill me if he ever got the chance. That youkai over there tried to kill me but then..." she looked up at Inuyasha, " what's your name anyway?"
"Inuyasha," he answered, "and i saved her from that youkai," he pointed to the dead youkai.
Taka then began to look around, " Kalis?"
"Who's Kalis?" asked Kagome.
"He was my only friend back at the tribe. He's a raven youkai," she stood and searched the skies for her friend, "Kalis!" she called.
They then heard a loud caw from above them. Everyone looked up to see Kalis flying over them. He landed.
"I'm glad you're safe Taka," he said as he transformed into his smaller form.
"Arigatou Kalis, this is Inuyasha... he saved me. But I have no idea who they are yet," she said as she pointed over to Sango, Miroku, Kirara, Kagome, and Shippo.
Shippo ran up to Taka, "My name is Shippo, and she's my Okaa-san Kagome," he said as he pointed over to Kagome.
"Okaa-san?... but your ningen and I know he's not hanyou," said Taka.
Kagome laughed, "Actually I adopted him when his otou-san was killed by the thunder brothers."
Miroku awoke and when he seen Taka (A/N you all know what's coming) he walked over to her and grasped her hands.
"My name is Miroku. Would u kindly bare my children?"
Taka was about to protest when Sango took her Hirakotsu and whacked him over the head with it.
"My name is Sango." she picked up Kirara, " and this is Kirara,"
Taka laughed. She then looked over at the dead youkai again and gasped.
"What is it?" asked Inuyasha as she ran up to the body.
Taka took the sword from the body and growled, " That bastard!" she growled, " planning to kill me with my otou-san's sword!"
Everyone gasped. Inuyasha walked up to Taka ( who looked furious).
"Are you going to be okay?" he asked.
"Yes I'll be fine. I'll just take the sword and use it myself." she said as she strapped the sword to her waist.
Kagome looked at Taka with jealousy in her eyes. 'Inuyasha would just tell me to suck it up rather that ask if I was okay,' she thought to herself, 'he probably cares for her more because she's a hanyou his age!'
"Would you want to stay with us?" asked Inuyasha.
Inuyasha looked at him surprised but she nodded. Now Kagome was mad.
'He would've left me if I wasn't able to sense the jewel shards!' she thought again.
Shippo yawned, " Can we go to sleep now okaa-san?"
"Yes, lets go," she said trying not to sound mad.
Kagome walked over to a rock with Shippo, took a blanket, and laid it on the ground. Her and Shippo the lay down to sleep. She half expected Inuyasha to sleep near them as always but no. He followed Taka to a tall tree and slept on the branch opposite of where Taka slept. Kagome scowled and went to sleep.
