Two Dogs

Chapter 4

GACK! I'm sorry I've been gone SOOOOO long, but I am updating... sry again... I've been learning to Waltz... don't ask. XD

"Huh?" Dorochet cocked his head to the side, "But I thought you said Naraku was a demon?"

Kagome shrugged, "He seems like a demon, what you said about Humunculi being fake humans seems to fit the bill. Naraku can make fake humans... er fake demons using the Shikion Jewel. Plus he was once a human, but now he... well he isn't."

Dorochet seemed to think this over for awhile, then he looked Kagome in the eyes and asked, "Do you know where he was created?" Kagome nodded and looked to Keade whom turned to Dorochet.

"I will take you there, but be warned, it is a vile place," Dorochet simply smiled and shook his head.

"I've been to hell and back, trust me, I'm not worried,"

Keade walked towards the door, motioning for Dorochet to follow. He got up and was followed close by Inuyasha and Kagome. As they traveled further though the forest they passed a large tree, Inuyasha seemed to aviod any contact with even the tree's shadow. Kagome simply looked at it as if it was a sweet memory. As they finally reached the cave Keade stopped and sighed, "I'm not going in there again," she looked at Dorochet, "Watch yourself pup, it's still dangerous in there." Dorochet nodded and walked past her.

As they entered the cave Dorochets hairs stood on end and he let out a soft growl. Kagome put her hand on his shoulder, "What is it?" Dorochet's eyes flashed across the room, finally resting on the strageblack spot on the ground. Kagome followed his stare, "That's where he was while he was still a human, nothing will grow there anymore," Dorochet wasn't listening , his eyes were focused on the pattern inside the outline.

"There," he said, pointing at the blackened marking, "Those symbols on the ground," Kagome looked but saw nothing.

I don't understand. What do you see?" She looked towards him innocently, "Inuyasha, do you see anything," Inuyasha shook his head.

orochet kicked some dust on the mark and watched as a faint circle appeared, "It's a transmutation circle," he sighed heavily, sitting in the dust, "And that smell in the air, it's faint, but I'd know it anywhere," He turned back to Inuyasha and Kagome, "This Naraku of yours is definately not human, but then again, he's really not a man either," he motioned to the circle again, "Her true name is Dante,"
