"Kit." Kouga said after he put the jewel shards back in his legs.
She turned around looked at him. "Hai," she said.
"Do you want me to walk you back to the others?" he asked.
"If you want to, but don't you want to see that Kagome girl." she said turning around.
"Alright and no I don't Inuyasha can keep her." he said as he stepped up beside Kit.
She shrugged and started walking towards where she smelt Karena.
Through out the whole walk they stayed in silence, just looking ahead.
"Kouga!" two voice yelled behind them. Kit's ears picked up and she tensed, but then she caught Kouga's scent on them and relaxed.
Kouga turned and looked a little bit shocked. "Ginta, Hakkaku what are you two doing here?" he asked as he looked at them.
Kit ears turn in their direction but didn't turn around. "What do you think we're doing here? We're trying to catch up with you." Hakkaku said out of breath.
Kouga sighed. "Maybe if you two weren't such slow pokes you would be able to catch me." he said as he looked at them while shaking his head.
Kit started walking again.
"Kouga, when are you coming back to the clan?" Ginta asked.
Kit fell on her knees coughing up blood.
Kouga ran to Kit's side and made sure her hair was out of her face as he watched her worried.
She leaned against his chest breathing heavily.
He just held her but loosely as to not put pressure on her.
She crawled into his lap and pass out.
He sighed once more as he gently picked her up. "I can't take her to the others like this." he said.
Ginta and Hakkaku walked up. "Who is this Kouga?" Ginta asked.
"Remember that girl Karena we meet sometime ago?" he asked. They nodded. "This is her younger sister, and somebody I have grown found of rather quickly." he finished.
"But… what about Kagome?" Hakkaku asked.
Kouga shook his head. "I never really loved Kagome and I didn't realize this till Karena made me see sense." he said.
"Then how do you know if you love this girl?" Ginta asked
Kouga shrugged. "I don't know I feel scared since she is like this." he said.
Kit shifted in his arms and started purring lightly.
He looked down at her and smiled softly.
A snake demon slithered into view.
Kouga saw this and growled in annoyance as he held Kit a little closer.
The snake demon lunged at them.
Kouga jumped out of the way as did Ginta and Hakkaku.
It caught Kouga and wrapped around him.
"Ginta." he called out and Ginta looked at him as Kouga was able to get lose and ran towards him. "Take Kit and get out of here all of you." he commanded as he handed Kit over then turned back towards the demon.
They ran but the snake used its body to stop them.
"Hey your fight is with me leave them alone." Kouga growled.
The demon didn't listen and lunged at Ginta.
Kouga was quicker as he kicked the demon away. "Get to the trees." he commanded as the snake got up shaking its head.
The snake sunk its teeth into Kouga. Kouga let out a small yelp of pain as he was able to get the demon off of him.
The demon went after Ginta again, this time Kouga was slowed because of the venom.
Ginta tried to move out of the way but couldn't so he closed his eyes as he waited for the attack but it never came so he looked up so see someone standing in front of him.
Kit opened her eyes to see what was going on.
"I can't let you out of my sight for a minute can I?" Karena asked as she threw the demon to the side.
"Hey, it's not my fault I'm weak from when Kouga tried to rape me and then got attacked by bear demons." Kit said as she got out of Ginta's hold and stood by Karena.
Karena shot a glare at Kouga. "You were gone way to long for my liking so I came to find you." she stated firmly.
"I told you if wasn't my fault," Kit said hugging Karena.
Karena sighed as she placed a hand on Kits head. "Everyone, come with me and I don't want to hear any objections." Karena said firmly with slight agitated as she picked Kit up and started to walk as Ginta and Hakkaku who were holding Kouga up followed.
Kit crawled on to Karena's back and fell asleep.
Karena sighed but she still looked pissed off as she walked towards the place Kit and Kouga had just left.
"Boss did you really try and rape her?" Ginta asked.
"No." Kouga said weakly.
"Don't make him talk he needs to save his energy, especially for the little lecture I'm going to give both him and Kit when they are better." Karena said her tone slightly on the threatening side.
Kit let out a whimper in her sleep.
Karena calmed down herself as they made it to the shack as Karena greeted the old woman who helped once again. "She got hurt again huh?" the woman asked as everyone came in and sat down.
Karena moved Kit to where she could hold her still so Kit couldn't run but since Karena wasn't at all happy she doubted Kit would want to test her.
Kit snored lightly in her sleep as she leaned against Karena.
Karena sighed. "Yes these two idiots have a tendency for not listening at all." she said as the woman handed Karena the same liquid to give to Kit as before then she went and tended to Kouga.
Kit pulled her ear as she heard the comment because she was waking up.
Karena gave her younger sister a slight glare. "You know I hate that." she said.
She tugged a little harder.
"Kit." she growled in warning.
Kit sighed and let go of the ear, letting her own twitch.
Karena sighed also. "Drink it." she said as she held the class for Kit to take. "And I mean it." she added her tone warning again.
Kit took it. "Oh Kouga," she said smiling.
Kouga didn't respond. Kit growled and was tempted to throw it at his head.
"Kit drink that, Kouga there was poisoned so I ordered him to save his energy." Karena said firmly.
Kit went to throw it at his head.
Karena caught her wrist. "Kit." she warned once more.
Kit sighed and drank it.
Kit was about to puke when she swallowed it. "If you throw up you'll have to drink it again." Karena stated as she watched her younger sister who didn't vomit for fear of drinking that crap again.
"Can we go now?" Kit asked walking to the door.
Karena grabbed Kit's wrist and sat her down again. "Not until I say that you and Kouga are better and after that I'm going to have a little chat with you two." she said firmly.
Kit looked at Karena pleading to leave.
Karena just gave her a look that flat out said 'No just rest and when you two are better and after we talk then we will leave.'
Kit disappeared and reappeared outside of the hut before running into the woods.
Karena growled as she left appearing right in front of Kit with and ice cold glare. "Kit, you do not want to test me at this moment in time." she stated as Kit saw something on Karena wrist, but Karena covered it quickly before Kit could figure out what it was.
Kit jumped over Karena and head to the woods.
Karena stopped her once more. "Kit, if you die think of what will happen to Inuyasha, Sesshomaru and me all because you refuse to listen." she said.
Kit ran past her and climbed up a tree before turning invisible.
Karena let out a threatening growl but then started to cough so she leaned against the tree she was closest to.
Kit was in front of her in a flash. "What's wrong," she asked worried.
Karena gave another cough as she waved her hand. "Nothing." she said as she started to breath heavily.
"Yeah, like I'm going to buy that one." Kit said grabbing her Onee-chan's arm. "Tell me what's wrong." she pleaded.
Karena grit her teeth in pain since Kit had grabbed the wrong arm. Kit realized this and pulled up Rena's sleeve. Karena looked down at her own arm before looking away from the blood soaked bandages that had her arm wrapped up.
"Rena this is not nothing! What the hell happened?!" Kit yelled worry clear in her voice.
Karena stayed silent and would not look at Kit but then spoke after a minute. "How do you think I knew exactly where to find you?" she asked.
"What do you mean?" she asked still worried.
"I ran into a couple of Bear demons who attacked me after they told me a young girl that had my same scent killed there brethren and then I ran into that snake before I had found you." she said still refusing to look at Kit.
"Then why the hell didn't you tell me?" Kit said as tears started to fall down her cheeks.
Karena pulled Kit against her softly. "Because I didn't want to see you like this, that's why I said we were staying at that place." she said sadly.
Kit clung to her. "I don't want to see you hurt, but I don't want to see you lie about being hurt even more."
Karena hugged her tighter as she closed her eyes so she wouldn't cry herself. "I know and I am sorry." she whispered softly. "That's why I have been so mad a little bit ago."
Kit dragged Karena to the hut.
Karena tried to ignore the pain in her arm.
When the got there she forced Rena to sit down and sat next to her, looking pissed. Ginta and Hakkaku looked at Karena who smiled weakly. Kit pulled up Karena's sleeve so everyone could see the wound.
"Karena!" Ginta and Hakkaku said as they looked at her annoyed the old women didn't say a thing neither did the demon.
Kit glared and Karena who just sighed. Kit rolled her eyes and started to walk out of the hut.
"Kit, if you leave so do I." Karena said
"No you stay. I'll be back by nightfall." Kit said as flames started to form her sword.
Karena was about to say something but Ginta put his hand over her mouth. "We'll make sure she stays." he said.
Kit nodded and ran out of the hut.
Karena glared at Ginta who removed his hand.
Kit ran through the woods in search of the bear demons from earlier.
The old women treated Karena's arm and then they all went to sleep.
