Inuyasha : Kagome's heart
Chapter six Kira .
Inuyasha Jumped out of the well , irritated. . Sango and Miruko greeted him warmly , to find Kagome wasn't there .
"Where is she?," asked Miruko confused . His thoughts instantly , incorrectly calculated that inuyasha and Kagome had a fight . He smiled devilishly .
"She ain't there!," Inuyasha spat "Her mother is positive that she crossed over here," he said weakly .
Miruko's smiled turned into a frown with worry line strung across them . So did Sango's .
"How can that be?," asked Sango "You would have known , and not you one of the villagers would have alerted us straight away if they saw her ," she explained , still confused .
"Yeah , I know," he hissed . The thought of Kagome out in the open made him angry , but scared at the same time .
"So what do you think might of happened?," asked Miruko . Miruko had frightening images of Kagome , dead in a demons hands , that made him shiver .
"I don't know," he growled "But I'm going to go looking for her, Sango , grab Kilala , your coming with me," he commanded . His eyes were dead serious : spurring with anger inside of him .
Kagome … Where are you ?
I lost Kikyuo , I'm not willing to lose you without a fight …
They travelled around many villages . Inuyasha picked up Koga's scent and reluctantly decided to follow it .
They arrived by the 'Ikuto Lake' , coldly greeted by Koga .
"Mutt face , where's Kagome!," Koga growled his hand in a fist "I've been looking around for her scent and I can't find it!" he yelled . Koga had already noticed that Kagome wasn't with inuyasha.
"That's what I came here for!" spat Inuyasha "I thought that she'd be with you , but I was obviously wrong," his voice weakened of confidence and strengthened with sadness .
"You mean to tell me she's out there in the open alone!" exclaimed Koga .
Inuyasha walked back to Kilala and hopped on her . He didn't bother answer , he was to ashamed .
"Inuyasha , you dumb mutt!," Cursed Koga "You can't even do protect one women without putting her in danger!" That was the last Koga said before he left . Ginta and Hiten steadily following him .
"Let's go," he moaned .
The reached a town that rested on three hills . It looked to be in a mess , only the second hill as well as the fourth . Inuyasha picked up the scent of a demon and instantly was on his guard . They were greeted by Ayumi .
"Are you friends of Kira's?," the girl asked , after they formally introducing one another .
"Who's?," asked Sango .
"Kira , a demon slayer , she was here early last night , then she left," the girl ended sadly .
Ayumi described Kira to the group .
Inuyasha seemed to be more and more convinced it was Kagome until :
"She has dazzling blue eyes! With golden radiant skin !And wears a lovely blue kimono . She comes from the southern side of town , her parents are rich!," she exclaimed .
"And she told you all of this?," asked Inuyasha doubtfully .
"Yep!," she lied .
Kira had told her to say all those things to any strangers that come here or ask about her . Kira told her she'll come back after her job was done and be her older sister . Kira told her all of this after she destroyed all the phoenixes .
Ayumi watched her kill every last one of the phoenixes . Kira promised she'll come back , if Ayumi does what she tells her . She did .
"Can you tell us more about this Kira person?," Sango asked getting more interested . Sango hadn't bet another female demon slayer before so this was a shock to her .
"Did she use archery?," asked Inuyasha strictly .
Ayumi shook her head "Only her two daggers," she lied .
"Daggers?," asked Sango . "She must be upper class to only use daggers," Sango was getting more excited about meeting Kira . "Did she tell you where she was heading?," she asked .
Ayumi shook her head . "Only that she had a mission to complete," she said truthfully , but sadly .
The thought of her soon to be older sister in the middle of battle scared her half to death . But she was proud to think that her sister was strong , just like the lady asking her questions .
"I see..," Sango said disappointed .
"Have you seen a pale , skinny girl . She wears odd clothing with a bow around her shirt?," asked inuyasha , sick about hearing the name 'Kira' come up constantly .
"No , I'm sorry , mister demon," she said sadly.
Inuyasha groaned . "Well thanks for your help, anyway," Inuyasha getting out of the hut . His friends followed him , disappointed .
"That was a waste of time!," he snorted , jumping on Kilala .
"Not necessarily , inuyasha," said Miruko calmly . "maybe if we find this Kira per-"
"No!," he yelled "This Kira person is a demon slayer who travels , she won't know anything about Kagome!" he continued "if anything she'll try to kill me," he ended calmly .
"Your right," agreed Miruko "sorry for suggesting such a silly thing"
Sango was the last to get on , angered my what Inuyasha said , she was silent through the hole jounery back .
Kagome's/Kira's POV
Blazed down another short woods at top speed . Two shards in my legs , it was nothing !
I left overpowered . Energetic , on fire . I whished past two towns with out them even knowing . They probably thought it was a strong gust of wind .
Thank God I compressed my scent , or those dogs would be chasing me . Wearing me down .
I'm Kira . I'm nobody's servant .
I am my own leader .
The jewel shard I was chasing wasn't far from where I was . It was moving from the South . Only two , but it's better than none .
Spring . I flew up in the air . Jumping between 700 and 1200 kilometres . That was nothing .
It was dead close to it now . Seriously , I felt the presence puff around me .
Swing . Swing . Swish .
Something circled me it was a demon . It was black and tall . Smelt real bad .
Swing .
"Owmen." The demon was fast . Means the jewel shards were fresh . Great .
Swing .
Flexed my leg muscles before .
Swi- Thud .
I accidentally stuck my foot out where the demon was running . It was a tall panther demon , that crashed on its chin . There was a red spill on its forehead . Jewel shard . And another red thing on it's knee ,jewel shard .
Collected them . Was on my way .
Swing . Swish….
Inuyasha's POV .
Dam it . I followed the scent of a demon up to this point . And it's dead , not that , but it's been robbed of it shards . Kira .
But I couldn't catch a smell of anyone but the demon .
"Two shards! Dam it!," I growled "This Kira is really getting on my nerves!"
"Inuyasha , calm down," Miruko said quietly . He waved around a green piece of paper .
"Miruko what the hell are you doing?," I asked , getting more pissed by the second .
"Tarlala," he said "It's a technique to show if there was any other demonic aura around this demon, if there was then it should show." .
I don't know why but the way his calm twenty four seven started to piss me off .
"Well?," Sango said , putting her hand on her hips .
"Nothing," he said sadly .
"Now what ? We don't know when another jewel shard is going show-"
I gasped , not meaning to cut her off . Is there a possibility that - No . Of course not , but maybe …..
Kagome's / Kira's POV
What was this ? Was someone following me ?
Yes ! Not just anyone .Koga!
He was right on my tail . I couldn't shake him . He was just two or three kilometres away from me but he was catching up .
I thought I ditched before but no . I had to get rid of him but how ?
Think Kagome , think . I know . I remember learning something about velocity : speed and what not .
Koga is only good at moving straight forward back is not the fastest turner . I got him . Edged round the corner and turned east . Tiptoeing over the branches of trees as I stepped on them .
He was slowing down by seconds . Then I heard :
- His too fast . I'll let the mutt get , whoever he is .
Yes ! I won . Koga's and this mates footsteps headed straight back to the town in the hills / or on . I relaxed by the Eastern lake , counting the jewel shards I had in mind head : thinking , counting . :
One from the wind demon that I stole off , before inuyasha knew .
Four from the birdie demons .
Two off that panther demon .
I just needed the rest .
I never really thought why I was collecting the jewels , I just did .
Inuyasha's POV
"You what!," I yelled outraged at the dumb wolf "how could you let him get away!," I repeated .
"Why does it matter he ain't important is he?," he asked , stupidly . I guess I should of told him the full story but still , his stupid !
"Yeah , if he was moving faster than you then it means he got the jewel shards , DUMMY!?," I bellowed .
"Add? He has nothing to do with Kagome does he?," he asked in a smug tone . This made ten times more pissed then I already was . Doesn't this mongrel know anything?
"He or she ! Might be the one who kidnapped Kagome! Your Idiot!," I snapped .
Koga took a step back surprised at the news then replied "He couldn't of , or I would of picked up her scent!," he hissed back .
Idiot ! Doesn't he know anything . I massaged the bridges of my nose wit my thumb and fore-finger , trying to calm down . I breathed in . "If you can't find Kagome's scent , and I can't find Kira's scent it means , Kira some how hid her scent," I went on "Which means she done the same thing to Kagome's scent : that's the explanation why Kira keeps on finding the jewel shards before we have a chance . Do you understand?" I asked as calmly as I could .
Koga's cheeks were fuming in anger . "That bitch when I find her I'm going to-"
"You can't find her," I cut him off , purposely . That made me feel a bit better "If she hides her scent that well , that neither you or me can find her it's impossible. Since you let her go , it going to be even harder"
"I didn't know!," he growled at me . I raised my hand up to silence him and he did .
"Shouting at each other isn't going to save Kagome from Naraku is it?," I was surprised at how calm I was .
Koga nodded , sitting down on the ground . "So what should we do?," he asked in a calm and gentle tone .
Kagome's/Kira's POV
Oh , water never tasted this good . Nice and clear . Sucked up some more . Jumped on to my feet . I need a place to rest where they won't find me .
Hmmm ….
I closed my eyes and let my senses take control , show me some where to sleep . :
I saw a cave , two hundred kilometres East . But .. Its guarded by demons , pathetic demons , rat demons easy pickings . One of them had a large jewel shard in it's head . The rest had tiny shibblings of jewel shards in them .
Eight rat demons all together . None of them with a special technique or power .
Boring , but easy . I wanted a challenge and I guess the rat demon with a shard in its head would be quite a challenge and maybe a dinner . The rats looked pretty big in my vision . So I was off in a whisper and a jump .
The cave looked pretty dingy , and ugly from where I was from . I couldn't take any chances of me sleeping in there in case Koga tries to track me down again . I couldn't leave a trace . So I had to be quick and slick .
The first three rat demons were guarding the outer surroundings , with a dagger or two . Yawn .
I swished past the first three , stabbing them with there own daggers collecting their shards ,on my way to the next .
The other two were severely big . Muscles , rippling every time they moved their arms . They had each had a sword with them . They were guarding the inner forest : 3 kilometres way from the cave . I had to be really quick and silent .
Thud . Thud . Bang .
Thud . Thump .
Done , easy . Punched the two simultaneously , dragging out their shards along with their brains . They dropped to the ground at synchronized times . Cute .
The sort of scary looking ones were directly , accurately three metres away from the main rat . They all seemed to be on high alert : clenching their weapons , tightly .
Okay Kagome time to work your magic .
I dropped the body of the first rat down from the tree where I was standing in . The two rats looked up at the tree surprised . Before they looked down they joined their dead friend , shardless.
The Final rat stood in front of me out raged and sad .
"Youu!," he roared . "You shall pay for-"
"Yeah , yeah , lets just get this over with shall we?," I asked , arrogantly . But I didn't care , I had seven shards in my bra , but add together the rest of the shards and I had more then Koga or Inuyasha .
I had Fourteen adding the one that I'll soon enough get .
He charged at me with top speed , the shard in his head glew a bright purple .
I jumped out of the way , stabbing him in his back before he even turned around . Collected my shards and had my dinner before I left , wiping the blood of my hands onto the demon .
