Heart of Tensaiga

Meeting New People


It took a few minutes to coax both half demons to lower their weapons and agree to talk things out rather than fight. Miroku noticed that Inuyasha looked annoyed and the girl looked like a more adult version of when Shippo had his crayons taken away.

They all walked away from the devastated area and towards the area they had decided to rest in the afternoon. Shippo, the ever curious, was the one to break the silence first, "Who are you? Are you a half demon like Inuyasha?"

She tilted her head at the young fox kit and smiled, "My name is Katsumi and yes, I am a half demon." She sniffed and noticed traces of depression on the little one and she wondered what could have happened to cause such distress. "What is your name little one?" she asked sweetly.

"Shippo," he answered with a small smile. "I'm a fox demon," he declared with a small, but proud puff up of his chest.

"A mighty kit I see," she said with a wink.

Sango walked up next to her and kept pace, "I am Sango. By profession I am a demon slayer." She smiled politely although she wanted to scream her thanks. Being alone with a group of guys was not ideal.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. Perhaps someday we can spar?" she inquired.

Before she could answer, both women felt something warm rub against their backsides.

"Pervert!" shouted both girls as they turned to smack the monk.


(A/N) Well, it's 4 in the morning and I find myself awake due to allergies...my nemesis. So, I figured why not post a few more chapters? As always, read and review. I like hearing your opinions about things.

Also, keep me updated on how you feel about Katsumi as the story progresses (as she's my first original character I'd like to know if you think she is too flawed or not flawed enough, etc.) If there's anything including her past that you want a chapter written about so you can know more, you can always send a private message or write in your reviews.

Thank you all for reading and a very special thank you to those that have been reading and reviewing since the very beginning! Now, on with the chapters!
