Chapter 16 Fox-demon twins

As the gang was on there way to kaede's, sango and kagome noticed shippo lagging behind with a sad look on his face. "Poor shippo it just dawned on me, I haven't really been

paying that much to shippo lately, don't get me wrong I try but…," "I know what you mean kagome I haven't really spending that much time with him either." "I feel so bad, I wish

there was a way to cheer him up." "What he needs is a friend, his on age to play with that way he want be alone." "That's a great idea sango but where are we going to find a village

with a lot of kinds there, and besides with inuyasha with us and the monk we don't really stay long." "Good point kagome we'll think of something sooner or later." Both the girls let

out a sigh and continue walking catching up with the boys who were way up ahead lost in there own conversation. "I wonder what those two could be talking about; they never talk

this long without the miroku getting slapped or inuyasha getting hit with sutras." "Beats me sango your guess is as good as mine but i'm just glad there finally getting along." "Me too,

boys are so dumb," "you got that right," "hey I heard that wench." Sango and kagome looked at each other then started busting out laughing. Inuyasha just brushed them off by

saying "keh" and went back to the conversation he was having with miroku. Kagome stopped and turned around to shippo who was even further away; by the looks of it he was

lost in his thoughts. "Ever since kagome and inuyasha been together, now sango and miroku no one pays me any attention any more. Kagome and sango try to but then

are taken away from me by inuyasha or miroku then I'm left alone again." Shippo was broken out of his thoughts by some one calling his name. "Shippo…," he looked up to

see kagome calling him. "Would you like to sit on my shoulders," but after kagome said the word sit there was a loud thump then muffled cursing to be heard about "stupid beads"

and "stupid wench always sitting me." Kagome turned around to see inuyasha in a crater slowly getting out, "I'm so sorry inuyasha I didn't mean to…." But she was cut of by

inuyasha, "When will you take these damn beads off of me," he turned around and started to walk off leaving kagome and the others behind. "Stupid wench, why want she take

these stupid beads off, there of no use to her now any way since we've became mates." Inuyasha blushed at the thought him and kagome were finally together now. "But she's

not completely my mate yet there's one more thing I have to do before were completely together." Inuyasha let out a big sigh and turned around to see the others catching up

to him, shippo on kagome's shoulders, miroku and sango walking side by side with each others arm wrapped around the others waist. Inuyasha smiled as kagome grabbed his hand

as she walked by him turning him the other direction heading off to kaeda's hut. She laid her head down on his shoulder and continued walking with the little kitsune on her other

shoulder. Up ahead they could see a village outside you could see a group of kids playing tag and chasing each other around. Kagome saw the kits face light up when he saw the

other kids; kagome turned to sango and smiled which in return sango smiled back. They were both thinking the same thing, "This is perfect I can't believe I forgot about the

other village, we never went threw it always around it, never thought there would be this many kids, the only problem now is talking inuyasha into staying a couple of

nights." As the gang got closer they could make out the kids in the front that were playing. There were two twin fox- demons a boy and a girl, and there was another boy and girl

but they were human. The girl fox had black tale and hair tied up in a red bow. Her eyes were a light gold and she was wearing black kimono pants with a shirt like shippo's except

hers was red with black leaves, and the vest she was wearing was black blending in with the color of her hair and tale. Her twin brother looked the same as she did except his eyes

were brown and his shirt was a navy blue matching the bow in his hair and his leaves on his shirt was also black along with his pants and vest. The other two kids with them both had

dark brown hair and brown eyes, the boy seemed to be the eldest of the two he wore a green and black kimono and his sister wore a pink and white one. The sun started to go

down so the gang decided to stay the night in the village. Kagome and sango didn't stopped smiling which started to creep out the boys a little except shippo who didn't really notice

he was two busy thinking about the two fox-demons he saw earlier, he was mainly thinking about the girl. Inuyasha sat down by kagome and nuzzled his face against her neck, "you

okay kagome," "couldn't be better," "you sure," kagome nodded her head yes and snuggled against inuyasha's chest looking at sango, who had the same smile on her as she did,

until she drifted off to sleep laying on her hanyou. Inuyasha looked down noticing that kagome had went to sleep he wrapped a blanket around them and propped back up against

the wall before falling asleep himself. Shippo slept with kilala, while sango and miroku slept together. Shippo couldn't wait till in the morning he was going to find those kids

tomorrow. The next day shippo awoke bright and early and left to go outside to see if he could find the kids he saw playing yesterday. As he turned the corner he fell being ran into

by a little girl. Shippo sat up to see what knocked him down then turned a bright red, before him was the girl fox demon. She slowly got up and turned to see who she had run into.

"Oh I'm sorry; I haven't seen you around here before, my names nozomi." "Its okay, my names shippo, I came here yesterday traveling with my friends." "Oh yea you were with

that monk, half-demon, priestess, exterminator and that cat demon." "Yep," in the distance they heard a boy yelling, "Ready or not here I come." "Oh, no," "What is it nozomi," "I

was suppose to be hiding, here follow me." Nozomi grabbed shippo's hand and ran toward some barrels in the opposed direction the voice came. Shippo blushed because she was

holding his hand which made her blush when she saw his face. "She's so pretty," "so who's coming after us anyway," "my brother tomo." "Oh, I get it you guys are playing hide

and seek." Nozomi smiled and nodded her head yes before dunking behind the barrel from her brother.

Te next day shippo woke bright and early and left to go outside to see if he could find those kids he was playing with early. He left without saying a word to the others, since they

were all still asleep at least he thought they were. Inuyasha had notice him leave, "I wonder where that little runts going to in such a hurry." Inuyasha looked down seeing that

kagome was still peacefully asleep in his arms, he smiled and laid his head back down on hers with one hand running threw her hair and the other on the small of her back pulling her

closer to him without waking her up. "She almost looks like an angle in her sleep, she's so peaceful." He looked around noticing the monk and sango were still asleep as well,

with sango cuddled up to miroku. His smile soon faded as a thought came to his mind. "Kikyo, I'm suppose to go hell with you now that naraku is gone, I just can't do that

now, I'm not going to leave kagome again, I don't want to hurt her any more then I've already done. How I'm I going to tell her I don't want to go with her, I just want

her to rest in peace." "Inu…yasha," kagome's voice broke him out of his thoughts as the young girl stirred in his arms. "I'm here kagome, just go back to sleep, it's too early in the

morning." Kagome nodded her head yes, then cuddled closer to inuyasha, but before she drifted back to sleep she asked inuyasha a question. "Inuyasha do you think we could stay

in the village two more days?" "Why, I thought you wanted to hurry up and get to kaedes." "I do but it's nice here and I'm not in that big of a hurry to get there," kagome opened

one eye and realized that it wasn't working so she thought of another way to get inuyasha to let them stay two more days. "If we stay two more days maybe we could get a hut of

our own." "Fine, you win we'll stay two more days as long as I'm away from that monk, I swear if he gives me one more of those perverted looks then…," "I know you'll kill him."

Kagome closed her eyes back and snuggled back up to her hanyou satisfied that she talked him into letting them stay two more nights. Inuyasha let out a big sigh and wrapped his

arms around kagome pulling her closer to him (if that were possibly), then nuzzling her nose in her hair. "Hopefully shippo can find him a friend or maybe even a girlfriend."

Kagome smiled then drifted back off into a deep sleep.

"Found you," "shippo run come on follow me we have to get to the tree before he gets us." Nozomi and shippo bounded off to the tree in the distance with Tomo not far behind.

"Base, hehe looks like your it again," "oh, come on, I've been it twice already, it's your turn." "It's not till you can get me," tomo turned and saw shippo next to nozomi out of

breathe like her and him was. "Who's that," "oh, I'm sorry this is shippo he came to the village yesterday with those people." "Well it's nice to see another fox around these parts,

my names tomo if you already didn't know." "Hi, it's nice to meet you," "shippo would you like to hang out with me and my brother till are friends come out then we can introduce

you to them." "Sure," "I'm sure the gang want worry about me being gone, they probably don't even know I'm gone."

"Kagome have you seen shippo today," "no, have you seen him inuyasha," "Yea, the little runt sunk out this morning while you guys were still asleep, he's probably with those kids

we saw yesterday." Kagome and sango looked at each other and smiled, there plan was working perfectly. "So inuyasha when do we do head back to kaedes or are we staying

here a couple more days." Inuyasha looked over to kagome; she was giving him her pleading look along with the puppy eyes, he let out a big sigh then looked back over at miroku,

"we're going to stay here two more days but that's all after that we leave first thing to kaedes got that." Kagome and sango let out a big squealed and hugged inuyasha. "Hey… what

about me," sango turned and glared at miroku before walking over to him and giving him a light kiss on the cheek, letting kagome crawl into inuyasha's lap, until shippo came inside

ready to eat telling everyone about his new friends. "Yes it worked and he really seems to like that nozomi girl, and since it's so close to kaedes he'll maybe get a girlfriend,

I'm so happy for him."
