Kagome's Tale or Kagome's Tail!
Chapter 7: A Wolf Demon Child of the North
Last Time: "It will heal so worry nothing of it," said Kagome, using her free hand to comfort her surrogate son that was crying. "Well how about we just stay here tonight seeing as the sun is setting anyways," said Inuyasha, picking Kagome up bridal style, resulting in Shippou jumping up on his shoulder. As soon as Kagome's wounds were bandaged, they all went to sleep.
This Time:
Next Morning
Kagome woke up the next morning with her mate's strong arms around her small waist. She smiled slightly, trying to wiggle out of his grasp but she was only pulled closer to his body. She sighed and turned in his grip, careful of the wounds on her stomach, hoping that she wouldn't disturb him. After she had turned around, she saw that Inuyasha was wide awake and smiling brightly at her. "Ohayo, love," he whispered gently, letting his warm breath tease her sensitive ears. "And ohayo to you," she said, sitting up slowly. She saw that everyone else was already awake and busily working on something. "Mama! You're okay!" exclaimed Shippou, noticing that his surrogate mother was sitting up. Sango and Miroku heard Shippou's outburst and ran towards Kagome to see if she was alright.
The demon exterminator and monk had many questions to ask their wolf-hanyou friend but the little kitsune spoke the main question. "Mama, who was that man?" asked the little fox child. Kagome's smile faded and she ran a shaky hand through her silver hair. "His name's Saura and unfortunately, that's all I know," sighed Kagome, standing up slowly. Kagome packed her big yellow backpack and waited patiently for everyone else to pack. She knew now that she needed to find Kina now. She needed to know how everyone knew who she was.
About fifteen minutes later, everyone was ready to go and find the young wolf child. They traveled about 4 miles, with occasional stopping for Shippou, before they came to the extraordinary lands of the North. Kagome's eyes filled with tears of joy and sorrow. She was home and now, things would only be getting harder. "Hi there," piped up a voice. Kagome looked down and saw a girl around Shippou's age waving up at her with a smile on her face. She smiled and bent down to the child's height and asked," Hi there, are you by chance Kina?" "That's me! Who are you stranger?" smiled the 11-year-old girl. "Awesome! A man told me to tell you that the western sun has risen," said Kagome, smiling. The little girl's eyes widened and she bowed in front of Kagome. Kagome was greatly taken aback at the actions of the little girl. She lifted the young girl in her arms and cradled her like a mother would. "You're finally home," she heard Kina murmur. "I never left," she whispered in the little girl's ear.
Kagome looked down at the young girl and took in her young appearance. The young girl had dark ebony hair with scattered midnight blue highlights that was already down to the girl's knees. Kina had bright amethyst eyes with emerald specks dancing wildly in them. The little girl had an ebony tail with a midnight blue tip on it. She had markings similar to Bakutso's which made Kagome smile widely. The pink kimono that Kina had on was graced with the insignia of the North in a hunter green with a rose obi.
"You're Bakutso's daughter, aren't you?" asked the wolf teen. Kina nodded up at Kagome and jumped out of her arms. "Yep, I am and we need to get going 'cause the palace may not be far from here but it's not safe," said Kina, whistling. A huge white wolf jumped out from the forest and landed beside Kina, making Shippou jump into his surrogate mother's arms. Kina giggled at Shippou's actions and said," Don't worry! Garna would never hurt anyone that is in alliance with Lady Kagome!" "Um…..Kina, don't call me that. Just Kagome is fine," said Kagome, placing Shippou on the back of Garna then petting the giant wolf.
Kina nodded as she jumped onto Garna, settling herself in front of Shippou, who grabbed onto the little girl's waist as soon as she was settled. Kina blushed at Shippou's actions and then turned to Kagome. "Lord Keago has been anxiously waiting for you to return," said Kina happily as they reached a village. The sun was starting to set so Kina kicked Garna on the side, making him go faster and making Shippou scream. "Kina, what is your mother's name?" asked Kagome, trying to make conversation. "Her name's Eera. She's looking forward to meeting you as well," smiled the little wolf child.
Kina suddenly landed Garna outside a huge wall with two golden gates in the middle of it. "We're home Kagome," said Kina, looking up at the older girl. Kagome smiled and pushed open the gates to the palace, and stepped inside the wall. She was finally home. "Little Kina, who are these people?" asked a guard, a neko youkai by his looks. "This is the western sun, Koro!" exclaimed Kina, holding Kagome's hand tightly. "Umm…..Kina, what does that mean?" smiled Kagome nervously. "I don't really know but the lord would!" exclaimed the wolf child sweetly. "Great," said Kagome, pretending to be enthusiastic. Kagome was frightened of the lord. Lord Keago may be her father but she didn't remember him. "Let's go!" exclaimed Kina, tugging on her hand. Kagome snapped out of her thoughts and followed Kina, Inuyasha, and the others into the castle.
Sango: What's the deal!
Miroku: What took you!
Me: The deal is school! And I have schoolwork to do!
Sango and Miroku (frightened): Sorry!
Kagome: Relax Vegetasgirl91, they didn't know.
Me (sighs): Fine. Sorry for the delay. My mom was just diagnosed with breast cancer last month so life has been hectic and she comes first. More to come. R&R Signed Vegetasgirl91
