"My point exactly," Karena said before she ran off.
Kit got off Kouga and followed.
Kouga looked at them confused. "You two return to the clan." he commanded as he chased after the girls.
Kit was running on all four behind Karena.
Karena's speed matched that of Sesshomaru's, if not faster.
Kouga couldn't catch up to the two girls.
Karena didn't say anything but kept straight ahead with a look of determination as she ran.
Kouga caught up to Kit.
"What going on?" he asked.
"Sesshomaru's death if he laid a finger on Otooto-chan's head." Kit said not looking at him.
"I'll kill both of them if they are fighting in front of those children." Karena growled as she continued to run.
"You better not hurt Otooto-chan." Kit said annoyed.
"Kit, you know how I act with kids so don't even try to stop me from going after both of them." Karena said equally annoyed.
She growled and knocked Karena to the ground.
Karena got her off and ran even faster than she was originally running.
Kit easily matched her speed and knocked her down again.
Karena got her off again as she ran but this time got to the clearing as Sesshomaru was bringing his sword down Karena appeared in front of him holding his wrist tightly in her hand.
Kit jumped on his back and bit his ear twice as hard as she bit Kouga's.
"Kit, if you don't want me to go after Inuyasha I suggest you go deal with him." Karena growled both her eyes and words as cold as ice.
Kit glared at her and growled.
Karena removed her glare from Sesshomaru to Kit. "You do know that Inuyasha does start this half the time so go to him or I will." she warned.
She continued to growl as she tightened her hold on Sesshomaru.
Karena sighed as she started to feel weak but she just blinked and shook her head. 'That old woman doesn't know anything about my kind.' she thought.
Kit let go of Sesshomaru ear and bit his neck.
Sesshomaru actually flinched this time.
"Kit." Karena warned as she felt even weaker, you see Karena hadn't been taking it easy at all like she was supposed to. After Kit and the others had fallen asleep Karena had left and was excreting herself, not even caring about her wounds or anything and with the lack of sleep, it didn't help either.
Kit noticed and quickly let go of her older bother. "Ne, Onee-chan, are you ok?" she asked worried.
"I'm fine." she said but her voice betrayed her as it sounded strained, and she had closed her eyes and shook her head again.
Kit dragged her over to the others and forced her to sit down before looking at her wound.
Karena tried to yank her arm away and tried to stand up but fell against the tree.
Kit pushed her down and growled at her.
Karena was too weak to even try again so she just sat there.
Kit looked at her sister's wound. Karena's arm was still bandaged up, but the bandages were soaked in dried blood along with new blood from now, and Kit had remembered they had fixed Rena's arm up yesterday with clean ones.
She slapped Rena across the face. "You where excreting yourself again."
Karena didn't look at Kit and was glaring at the ground her hand trembling slightly.
"What the hell did you do last night?" Kit said pissed.
Karena still looked at the ground. "Protecting you all." she said after a moment.
"What do you mean 'protecting?'" Kit said still pissed.
"Did you honestly think there weren't other demons who did not hear about our wounds." she said. "When you feel asleep I left for the roof then I had to leave that hut since my wounds were still a little bit fresh."
She growled and smacked Rena again. "So you risk your life instead."
"It's better that I risk my life than to have watched my little sister and only living blood family that is close to my heart die because of me!" Karena shouted as she looked at Kit with tears in her eyes.
Kit hugged her. "Do you think I want to lose my only family ether?" she said with tears running down her cheeks.
"But I'm not your only family you still have Inuyasha I only have you." she said as she closed her eyes trying not to cry.
Kit didn't say anything, she just cried into her sister.
Sesshomaru and Inuyasha put their swords away as they looked at the girls then went and sat down by them Inuyasha rubbing Kit's back trying to comfort her while Sesshomaru placed his hand on Karena shoulder, but when both boys did that Karena passed out from exhaustion.
Kit soon cried herself to sleep.
Inuyasha gently removed Kit when she had fallen asleep, as Sesshomaru moved Karena to where she was laying against him, but he placed his fur boa over his arm and chest so Karena could use it as a pillow.
Kit let out a cute yawn in her sleep.
Inuyasha smiled down at her as he yawned himself and fell asleep also and the others soon followed as Sesshomaru was the only one awake now.
Kit woke up to a sea of red. This frightened Kit since she thought it was blood, but then noticed it was moving. She looked up to see it was just her little brother.
Sesshomaru looked up from Rena as he looked around watching each person sleeping.
Kit yawned and got up, before going up to Kouga who was sound asleep against a tree. She curled up in his lap and went back to sleep.
Sesshomaru had watched this and sighed as he looked down at Karena again. Karena snuggled closer to him but did not stir for her sleep. He smiled somewhat as he looked up once more.
Kit grabbed Kouga's tail and yanked it.
That woke Kouga up as he jumped and looked around. Sesshomaru had to resist from laughing since that would have been so unlike him.
Kit fell of Kouga's lap but still clung to his tail.
"Kit you have my tail." he whispered to her since he didn't want to wake anyone up.
She wagged her tail and snuggled against his.
He sighed as he stroked her hair.
She started to purr, while leaning into his touch.
He smiled as his hand went to her ears.
They twitched at his touch.
He smiled as he picked her up and placed her on his lap, his tail still in her hand.
She let go of his tail and wrapped her arms around his waist.
He gently kissed the top of her head as he wrapped his arms around her and then went back to sleep.
Sesshomaru let sleep consume him.
Karena woke up some time later only to see a bunch of white in front of her.
'Oh great I died.' she thought. Karena laid there cursing herself but then she felt something on her arm so she turned her head and looked. She saw Sesshomaru looking down at her. She sighed in relief. "I thought I was dead for a minute there." she said as she looked up at him.
A small smile appeared on his face as he looked down at her.
She blinked a few times then smiled back. "Good morning." she said.
He nodded before standing up.
"Going somewhere?" she asked as she yawned.
He didn't answer as he walked into the woods.
Karena just shrugged as she looked at everyone, resting her hand on her hurt arm unconsciously.
Kit woke up sniffing the air.
Karena looked at her confused.
Kit crawled around with her nose to the ground.
"Kit what are you doing?" Karena asked with an eyebrow raised.
Kit peered into a bush before screaming and jumping on to Kouga. "Bug... big bug."
Kouga woke up and looked Karena just smirked. "Can I get rid of it Kit?" she asked, Karena was the type that couldn't sit for very long with killing a demon.
She just clung to Kouga. "It's a big bee,"
Karena sighed as she stood up and her hand was surrounded in darkness before a whip appeared in her hand, as she walked towards where Kit had seen it.
When Karena got to the bush a saimyosho flew out and head towards the sky.
Karena narrowed her eyes at it. "What was that?" she asked to no one in particular.
Kouga stood up. "That's one of Naraku's bugs." he said shocked.
Karena looked at him confused. "Naraku?" she asked.
Kit still clung to Kouga. "It's a big bug... Karena kill it." she whined.
Karena only nodded as she went after it.
Kit still didn't calm down as she hung on to Kouga as if he was her life line.
Kouga held Kit as he tried to calm her as Karena came back looking bored her whip gone. "Wow that was a complete waste of my time." she said as she sat down. "Although I should have used my other hand." she said as she gently rested her hand on her other arm.
Kit still didn't calm down.
Kouga picked her up and sat down cradling her close as he started to stroke her hair. "Kit, it's alright its gone now." he said gently.
She looked up at him before burying her head in his chest.
He just held her tightly as he continued to stroke her hair, as he kissed the side of her head gently. Karena sat and watched this before she got up and left.
She looked back at him and licked his cheek. He smiled as he licked the tip of her nose and then kissed her forehead.
She purred against him and started to lick at his neck.
He shivered slightly and shook his head.
She nipped at his ear as she shifted in his lap.
"Kit, don't start that again." he sounded as if he was begging her.
She looked at him confused.
He sighed and shook his head as the others started to wake up.
She started licking at his neck again.
"Where is Okaa-san and Otaa-san?" Rin asked as she looked around.
Kit stopped what she was doing and looked around. "I don't know," she said.
Kouga was trying to control his breathing. 'Just do it, take her into the woods and make her yours.' his mind thought.
'Hell no, as much as I want to I'm not going to unless she wants it, not to mention I don't feel like being killed by Karena, Sesshomaru, and Inuyasha.' he thought back as Kouga started an argument with his own mind.
'She does want you, remember how she was licking you, remember how much you enjoyed it and when she moved in your lap.'
'No unless I hear the words come out of her mouth I wont do it.' he argued back.
'The words never came out of Kagome's mouth, but you were going to mate her.'
'Because that was lust, I am going to be patent with Kit.' he argued.
'Why wait. Just take her in the woods and she will be yours forever.'
'Not if Sesshomaru and the others kill me.'
'Since when did you become a dog that runs away with its tail between its legs?'
That was a low blow to Kouga's pride as he quickly stood up. "I going to go for a little bit." he said before he ran off.
