I know I've already said this like a thousand times but I'm so entirely sorry that I haven't updated, I didn't have anytime or inspiration to right a new chapter. But thankfully I went through it. Enjoy.
About five days have passed ever since Shippo and Kilala's little encounter. Ever since that day their bond with each other grew, they were even more affectionate with each other, and it showed greatly, the occasional hugging (and staying that way for more than five minutes), the sweet talking, their tender actions towards each other, and when the thought nobody was looking they would sneak a sweet kiss in the lips (again, when they THOUGHT, nobody was looking).
It was nearly sunset; all of them were currently camping out, as usual. Inuyasha was on his usual lookout, Kagome was stirring some ramen, Sango was checking her hiraikotsu
for any damages ,(I sorry I don't know its correct spelling, Miroku was meditating and Shippo was helping Kilala in combat training .
Shippo & Kilala POV
They were a bit far out, but not too much in case of any danger. They had been practicing some combat movements for some time; until they decided give it a rest. Kilala was lying on ground with her head in Shippo's lap, while he gently stroked the long blond tresses. Everything was quiet and the scene was calm and relaxing. Shippo saw a bit of an uncomfortable look on Kilala's face.
"What's wrong?" He asked a tint of worry in his tone.
"I'm just thinking….. Do you think were finally going to defeat Naraku?" She asked looking up at him.
He was taken out by the sudden question.
"Well we have to, we cannot continue our lives like this .Inuyasha and Mom, Sango and Miroku, they are all dying to have children, to settle down and live with peace, but with Naraku around that's just as impossible as it will ever get." He replied.
The look on her face still didn't vanish.
"What about Koneko? If we defeat Naraku we still have her to deal with, and you must remember that she has her clan, with many many members…….By just fighting Naraku alone we risk everything, not all of us may make it .With what energy in our bodies would we fight Koneko and her army ?"She stated.
"Don't worry, together will get through this"
"Somehow" he thought.
Later that night when everyone was asleep (not Inuyasha), Kilala's training began once again.
Kilala's dream (training):
"Kilala dear, remember to concentrate, you won't be able to control fire unless you can concentrate." Her father said.
Kilala was back in her training session, when she arrived she was told of her special skill, it isn't new but it will certainly be an advantage in combat through her current form.
"You can do this love, it's just as you would do it in your demon form" her mother said soothingly.
Kilala, once again tried, this time she closed her eyes and sat up straight with her arms spread out.
"Stay calm" she thought.
After a few more tries, she could already feel the heat coming through her arms, then pass her legs and finally at the sole of her feet. The fire was building itself on the outline of her body, though she could feel a lot of the heat, it wasn't burning her.
"Am I doing right?" she asked, afraid to open her eyes and lose concentration.
"Yes, perfect, now try to move around" Her father replied.
"I can do this" she thought.
Kilala started walking at a slow pace; she dropped her arms so they were now side by side, and began to open her eyes.
"You're doing great honey" Her mother said soothingly.
"Now, run" her father said loudly.
Kilala started running, at first she ran not in her usual speed in fear that somehow the fire would go out, but then the faster she went the more they increased. She went fast and faster, until she heard her father's alarmed voice.
"Stop Kilala!!!!"
"What?" she thought confused.
Her father went quickly where she was and stiffened her by the shoulders.
"You must not over do it, this skill takes lots of energy from your body, only do it when fully necessary"
Kilala nodded.
"In here you can use it more than on the real world, but still, its better to be warned earlier than to be later……Lets continue, you've mastered your stability with the fire, now, to master it in combat."
"In this short time, you have been with us, you have learned the art of fighting, and I'm really proud. Now the last thing we need to teach you is flame throwing." He finished.
"Flame throwing?"
"Yes, just focus the fire around your arms ,mainly into your hands, then simply throw."
"Alright"
She did so ,and succeeded, at first she could even tell if the fire was starting to spread her arms, until her mother confirmed it . She opened and her eyes and lifted her arms, she saw her work and smiled to herself.
"Now, throw"
Again she closed her eyes just to get the concentration effect down, and swiftly through the ball of flames that was forming on her hand. She tried it again, this time with both her arms and the impact it caused was a lot greater.
"I did it!!!"
Her parents smiled at each other, and then at her. After a few more moments together it was time for farewell.
End of Kilala's dream
Shippo was lying beside Kilala, he was very quiet, though he knew that at this time she would be beat by slumber.
Five hours later, everyone was up and at it, all of them doing their daily chores, and all the while looking out for Naraku.
Inuyasha stood up, with a disgusted look on his face.
"Is something wrong Inuyasha?" Sango asked from behind him.
"They're coming" he answered back.
At that being mentioned, everyone got into fighting position. Only seconds passed until ten cat demons were in front of them.
"State your business" Inuyasha growled.
"Easy doggy, were not looking for a fight…….yet." the leader answered.
"What do you want?" asked an angered Miroku.
"We just want to inform you that Naraku has put down his barrier, and he is just thrilled to be reunited once again with all of you. Follow our scent and you'll be sure to find us." The leader once again said.
"No, don't!! This is an ambush Inuyasha" Kilala said, coming out of Shippo's side.
"Oh there you are. Mistress Koneko will be so pleased with your presence "He said coming closer and closer towards Kilala.
Shippo growled at the thing.
The leader turned his attention back at Inuyasha and said.
"Take it as whatever you want, ambush or no ambush I'd advice you to come….especially you" he said looking at Kilala once again.
So this is it for this chapter. I will let you know that the story will end soon; this was originally a one shot, and my other story too. Thank you for reading and please leave a review.
