Child Of The Demon Sword
Ch. 5
Ryoko yelled after Shessomaru's retreating figure, "where are you running to!?" There was a definite tone of annoyance in her voice. She certainly acted old for her young appearance.
Shessomaru ignored her tone and concentrated on the problem. How is it that the Tetsusaiga got transformed into a young girl? It was no wonder she smelled similar to his father, but he figured it was just a coincidence because she was hanging out with his half brother. He mentally kicked himself for his stupidity.
The forest leaves gently brushed against his face as he jumped from tree branch to tree branch. The air chilled his face as his anger heated it. He resisted the erge to turn back and kill the young girl.
Soon his eyes were presented the scene of Rin petting Uh-Un. She was humming sweetly. He realized that Ryoko appeared to be the same age as Rin, but in demon years she was over 200 years old. And she was strong.
--With the Inu Gang--
Kagome watched as Shessomaru fled through the trees. She turned around to see Songo and Miroku looking at Ryoko with shock. Inuyasha was examining her curiously. Ryoko looked uncomfortable under their gazes.
Kagome glared at Inuyasha while walking over to him and Ryoko. She drew her sword and placed it at Inuyasha's throat. He suddenly stopped circling Ryoko and put all of his attention on Kagome. His eyes were wide with surprise, "don't treat her like she's your new toy!" Inuyasha put up his hands and backed off.
Ryoko breathed a sigh of relief. She blew a bit of her hair out of her face, but it only fell back where it was. Kagome sheathed her sword and leaned down in front of Ryoko. She smiled, and tucked the hair behind her ear. "We have got to do something about this hair…" Ryoko laughed at the sound of exasperation in Kagome's voice.
Kagome pulled two hair ties off of her wrist, and walked to the back of Ryoko. With her fingers she combed the young girls hair back into a high pony tail. Ryoko fidgeted while Kagome went to work braiding her hair. When she was done there was a thick white braid barely brushing the ground.
Ryoko twirled and made the comment: "Now I won't trip over my hair," which made Songo and Kagome laugh. Miroku and Inuyasha sat around the smoldering ashes of the once fire.
Later Songo and Kagome took Ryoko into town to buy some clothes for her to wear. The walked off with her in the middle holding onto both of their hands.
For the moment Kikyou was completely forgotten.
But that wouldn't last long.
(A/N: Please don't kill me! I know it's a short ch. but it was all I could manage. I promise a longer one soon.)
