Chapter 3: KILALA?
Kagome slept peacefully until she heard a twig snap. Kagome got up and walked outside of the hut, only to see Kohaku and Kilala standing there.
"Kohaku! Kilala!" Kagome ran over to them and hugged them both.
Inuyasha yawned and walked out of the hut only to find Kohaku and Kilala on his doorstep. "Welcome. Taking a break?"
"Yeah. Sorta." Kohaku replied. "We don't have a lot of work anymore since Naraku is dead."
Everyone laughed and soon Sango and Miroku, and their kids came over to talk with Kohaku. Kagome and Sango were both smiling as Kohaku congratulated them. Kohaku smiled then let some amazing news rip.
"I'm not going to be demon hunting for a while, unless the need arises." Kohaku told them getting them to gasp, then smile.
Suddenly Kagome grabbed her bow and arrow, which she hadn't used in a while, strung an arrow and fired. The gorilla that had orders to capture Kagome dodged the arrow barely. Inuyasha looked at Kagome confused.
"I noticed it this morning." Kagome told Inuyasha setting the bow next to her again, as become a habit. "Someone is watching us."
Inuyasha growled at where Kagome had fired the arrow, but Kagome grabbed his arm and motioned for the group to get as close to her as possible. The group obeyed and Kagome whispered what she wanted to know.
"I wanna know what their after." She spoke just loud enough for the group to hear.
The gorilla turned and ran back to his master who again offered him food and allowed him to speak freely.
"The priestess knows that I'm spying on her and her group." The gorilla told his master. "I made sure not to make a sound, but I think her child is helping her."
"Hmmm. This is a problem Harold." The master told the gorilla now known as Harold. "It seems we'll need to put my plan into action soon than I thought."
"Mikora?" The master turned and glared at Harold. "Sorry. Master. When should I do my part?"
"Tomorrow."
Smiling the gorilla went to sleep, early the next morning he went after Kagome. Making sure everyone knew where he was, the group followed after Inuyasha, who was chasing after the gorilla. Kagome was running after him when she a soft grunt feeling something prick her.
Kagome figured it was just a branch, but Kilala landed and as Inuyasha fought the gorilla she silently hid in Kagome's robes. Now Kagome knew that the prick was something bad, she had a hard time keeping her eyes open.
"Inu… Yasha." Kagome whispered as she fell on the soft grass unconscious.
Sango heard the whisper and looked back only to see a demon she didn't know picking Kagome up. She threw her Hiraikotsu and missed Mikora. Sango turned back to Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha! Kagome is being kidnapped!" Sango yelled at the half demon.
Inuyasha looked up only to see Kagome's limp body in a demon's arms. Inuyasha cursed and tried to stop him but they became lost quickly. Soon the group had to rest and Inuyasha punched the rock crying.
"Calm down Inuyasha." Miroku tried to comfort his friend. "We'll get her back."
"I was careless!" Inuyasha yelled as he punched the rock again. "I was the one who should've been captured not her! I'm supposed to protect her! Damn it! DAMN IT!"
The couple left Inuyasha to blow off his steam. Mikora had just landed in his castle, and was about to set Kagome down when he cried out in pain. Dropping Kagome, he pulled his hand and arm into his site. She had started to purify him, and as Kagome ran towards the door he slammed it in her face.
Kagome grunted as she tried the handle. Useless. She tried to slam her body into the door once. Useless. Grunting she looked for a wrench. Finding one she tried to pull the hinges free. Useless. Kagome stood up and put her head on the door, giving up for the time being.
"Mew."
"Kilala?" 'Fool your mind is playing trick on you. Your alone.'
"Mew."
"Kilala?" Kagome turned and felt tears spring to her eyes as she ran and hugged the two-tailed demon cat. Just then Kagome heard the doors locks opening. "Kilala." She whispered. "Hide."
The two-tailed demon cat did as commanded and as Mikora opened the door enough to stand in the way of it he growled at Kagome. "Whom were you talking to?"
"Myself." Kagome retorted sourly. "I reserve the right to talk to myself if I so choose!"
Rolling his eyes Mikora left and locked the room. Kagome glared at the door then opened her arms in a hug motion. Kilala ran from her hiding spot and into Kagome's arms. Kagome hugged her best friend then hearing something out side inched her way silently to the door.
"Sir? It's only for a little while right?" Someone asked someone else.
"Yes but she's driving me up the wall!" Mikora told the other person. "How's that potion coming?"
"Potion?" Kagome whispered so quiet only Kilala heard it.
"Which potion sir? The lust one is finished."
"No your moron! The birth potion!"
"Birth potion?" Kagome whispered again just loud enough for Kilala to hear.
"Oh. I'd say two more days, and then we can give it to that Kagome person."
"And the pups will be full term?"
"Full term and very painful birth. But yes they will be full term."
"Good. Get it done as soon as possible."
