"Thank you Rylie" Koga said, I stared at him and shook my head.
"I would do anything for my family, you know that. No thanks needed"
I said leaving the room after hugging my friends. Sesshomaru followed me
out with the rest of the family following.
"Rylie how did you comfort them enough to calm them down?" dad asked,
I glanced up at Shippo who was smiling.
"It was always a secret between Rylie and us, when we were really
upset growing up we would go sit in Rylie's room. We would lay our
heads down in her lap, while she played with our hair we would tell
her what was wrong, even when she didn't have the answers we needed
we would always feel better about it and calmer." Shippo said, I smiled
at him.
"Really? We never knew you did that" mom said, we smiled bigger.
"You weren't suppose to know, it was a secret between us. But now
everyone knows in case I'm not on hand if something like that happens
again." I said grinning at Sesshomaru who watched me.
"Does anyone know who hit the girls anyway?" I asked turning the
conversation serious.
"Shori thinks she saw the driver but she is so worked up about Souten
and Ayame she will not talk to me" Shippo said I nodded.
"Where is she?" I asked, Shippo pointed up to his room, I nodded and
went upstairs.
"Shori, it's Rylie. Can I talk to you?" I asked after I knocked on their
bedroom door.
"Come in Rylie" she called, I opened the door and stared at her while
she watched the stable boy run around the backyard.
"Souten and Ayame are fine, see" I said pointing to the girls
chasing Bankotsu and Koga around the backyard with sticks in their
hands.
"What happened? The guys couldn't heal them a few minutes ago" she
asked looking up at me, I shrugged.
"Apparently all they need was a sister's soft touch and encouraging
words. Shippo will explain it to you later. Tell me who was driving
that truck?" I asked she looked back out the window.
"It was Hakudoshi, I'm sure of it, he was driving Kikyo's truck" she
said, I nodded and grabbed her hand pulling her out of her room and
to the living room where the rest of the family waited.
"Alright guys, Hakudoshi was the one driving Kikyo's truck now what do we
do?" I asked sitting on Sesshomaru's lap with his arms wrapped around me.
"I think we should call Kyakuya, Mukotsu, Ginto, Hakkaku, Inuyasha, Kagome, Jakotsu,
Kyokotsu, Cheyenne, and Renkotsu. Get as many allies as we can to take care
of this once and for all." Suikotsu said, we all nodded as we started
making calls, soon the house was filled with our friends. We quickly
filled them in on what happened.
"Let's split up, call the others if you find Hakudoshi, meet back here
when the sunsets" dad said we nodded, Sesshomaru and I went together. Koga
and Ayame, Shippo and Shori, Bankotsu and Souten, Inuyasha and Kagome, Kyakuya and
Mukotsu, Ginta and Hakkaku, Kyokotsu and Cheyenne, Jakotsu and Renkotsu, Mom
and Suikotsu, Dad and Rin. I smiled and waved at my family and
friends as we all went different directions. Sesshomaru and I searched
caves, the mountains, and the dump but found nothing. The sun was
going down so we needed to head back. We opened the door to the house
and the place was trashed.
"Anyone here?" I called as Sesshomaru ran upstairs looking for anyone who
might still be there, I heard moaning I ran into the living room and
found Sango laying under the window. I looked over her wounds and
they were pretty serious, I glanced around and found another pair of
feet, I rushed over and found Miroku laying on his stomach barely
breathing.
Get home now, we have a problem. I called to everyone who had
telepathic powers.
"SESSHOMARU, Help me" I yelled through the house, Sesshomaru ran to my side and
lifted Miroku to the couch and gently set him down. I knelt down on the
ground next to Sango and put her head on my knees while I whispered
a healing chant over her battered body. I started rocking my body
back and forth, when the front door banged opened I continued to take
care of Sango while Bankotsu took care of Miroku. Once Bankotsu was
done healing both of them, and they were calm enough to talk to us,
we would finally know what happened.
"Sango, what are you guys doing here?" I asked Miroku looked at me
then everyone else. "You can talk freely here" I added when they
looked worried.
"Well I came to ask for your help, someone has been watching me and
it is starting to frighten me. We came today because I was really
frightened when someone broke into my home and stole some of my
laundry, plus I know today is your birthday" Sango said, I stared
at her not knowing when I told her when my birthday was.
"Well thank you for remembering even though I don't remember telling
you, but can you tell what this person looks like?" I asked.
"The only thing I can tell you is that he leaves the smell of wet dog
on everything." she said, I looked up at Sesshomaru who was opening a
secret passage way, he disappeared briefly then returned with a huge
box.
"Alright, Sesshomaru do you think it would be safe to have them stay with
us until we can get rid of this threat against them?" I asked, he
looked down at me.
"Absolutely, we have plenty of rooms." he said, I started to feel
sick to my stomach. I stood up slowly then ran to my bathroom. I
became violently ill, I felt someone holding my hair.
"When are you going to tell him?" mom asked, I knew mom would know
about the baby.
"I will tell him when the time is right, don't say anything to him,
he worries about me enough" I said, I stood up and brushed my teeth
and splashed cold water on my face.
"You need to tell him soon baby" mom said then looked at me when the
ringing started. We ran down the stairs and grabbed our weapons, we
drove to the middle of town and notices a demon named Daevas. Daevas
was destroying the town with lightning bolts. I looked back at mom
and she shook her head at me which Sesshomaru noticed.
