The Other Hanyou
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.
Welcome to chappie number 5!!!
I'm back from vacation, so here I am, my readers! -looks at everyone ready to maul her with kunai knives- DON'T KILL ME!
Kira wolfed down her ramen in an even faster and messier way than her own brother. Hey, who can blame her? She hasn't eaten anything in 51 years. And it also seemed that she had developed a fondness of the noodles, but not as much as the sweet dumplings Kagome brought. They were a pure heaven for her tastebuds, with their sweet sweetness.(A/N: Heh, paying a tribute to my fangirlism for Itachi Uchiha of Naruto, and his love of sweet dumplings. Oh, and I sadly don't own him nor the series. T.T) Though it wasn't strange for her, as she was famous in her sensei's castle for her terrible sweet tooth, and her sneaking out pocky from the cook's secret stash just to satisfy it.
Inuyasha then frowned, so did Kira. "Inuyasha, what's wrong?", asked Kagome, "I smell blood, a demon's blood, and it's coming closer."
A rustle was heard from the bushes nearby, and both hanyous readied their swords, prepared for anything they might encounter. Another rustle, two...SWISH!! Went their swords, cutting the top part of the bushes, revealing...drum roll please -random drum rolls by- ok, that was random...anyway...revealing a trembling small, black, three-tailed kitsune with a yellow diamond-like mark on it's forehead, holding on to one of it's tails for dear life(A/N: Chorus of girl 'Awwwwww' please). One of it's tails had a newly made gash in it, which looked pretty bad. Kira picked up the trembling creature carefully to take it back to Kagome. "Do you think Kagome-san can help him, aniki?", asked the young hanyou to her brother. She has a soft spot for sweets, children, and small animals. That's Kira for ya. "Feh, I couldn't care less. And stop calling me 'onii-san' and 'aniki'. It makes me feel awkward.", said Inuyasha nonchalantly, earning himself a face-pull from his sister, "I'll call you whatever I want, whenever I want, aniki.", she answered as she let go of his face, leaving a red circle from where she pulled. Inuyasha rubbed his face while mumbling something about 'stupid bozu and her stupid kitsune'.
By now the little kit recovered from it's original scare and watched the siblings arguing with it's electric blue eyes. 'This guy's the hanyou of the group, but I didn't know there was a second.', the little guy thought, 'Must be the new girl. Anyway, I hope they stop arguing soon and start moving, 'cause this gash's starting to itch. A lot.'
A minute of face-pulling, painful head- rubbing, and sitting later...
As Kagome wrapped the little kitsune's tail with the bandages in her first aid kit, it told the story that brought him there in the first place, while Shippou was quick to translate.
Flashback
Well, where should I begin...well, maybe with my name. My name's Kagemaru, and I'm the pet of the granddaughter of my village's elder. Today, in the morning, a stranger came to town, asking to see the elder. As soon as they were left alone, he turned into a serpent demon, taking him and his granddaughter hostage until the village was willing to sacrifice all children to him, or else he would destroy it by dawn. Of course, no one wanted to lose their children, so they sent a messenger to find a group of demon slayers that one of the villagers heard of from a friend of a nearby village.
That messenger, of course, was me, since the demon kept close watch on all the humans of the village, and didn't notice me when he invaded the elder's house.
I ran as fast as I could possibly go, not really knowing where, just going on by pure instinct. An hour passed, and I finally caught the faint smell of you guys, and food.
Ehe, I just realized I haven't eaten since lunch...(Kagome gives Kagemaru some ramen) Arigatou. Anyway -slurp- I caught your scents, human, hanyou, and kitsune scents. -slurp slurp- So, I ran towards the scents, got one of my tails caught in a sharp branch, tried to get it free, but ended up hurting myself, then -slurp- these two came with their swords, nearly scaring the life outta me, and here I am.
End Flashback
"Wow, that's one troublesome situation you're in.", said Shippou after he finished translating the tale, "Maybe we can help you, Kagemaru-chan.", said Kagome, a pleasant smile on her face. "Really? You would?", said the little kit, almost not believing how simple it was to convince them, "Of course, it wouldn't be a bother at all.", said Sango, getting up. "Well, as long as that demon has a shard, I'm in.", said Inuyasha, already up.
They put out the fire after Kagemaru finished eating and quickly set out for the village.
Finally! I updated the story. I was on vacation, so I couldn't get close to my comp since I was spending it in Florida, so yeah. Oh, and about the whole bozu thing, it means kid. Anyway, the thanks to my pwnful reviewers:
