The Yōkai Child
A devious plan part two
After drying off they went on the hunt for the girl once more. As the day grew on they had found nothing that would tell them where she had went. Shippo tried to track her scent but came up short when it lead them to the river. They finally found a clue when a villager started freaking out by running through the village. Screaming about the evil spirit and how ever thing started to move around by its self. They quickly ran to try and catch her but they where too late. But they had some luck as she left foot prints in the still wet mud.
The trail lead to a small cave that looked almost abandoned. There were things thrown about and everything had been up turned. As they moved through to the back the cave split into two. The left they found was a bedroom and it smelled stall. Everything was burnt as well. The right cave they found the girl she was laugh as she went through something they couldn't see.
Slowly the laughter turned to sobs. "Why did they have to kill you daddy." she said falling flat on her belly. Suddenly there was no more noise. Kagome rushed over to her side. She flipped the girl over and felt her forehead.
"She is burning up! We need to lower her tempter, I will go get some water from the river. Shippo see if you can't find and medicine in the front of the cave." Kagome order as she rushed out of the cave. On her way out she picked up a bucket that was carelessly tossed to the side.
Shippo had found some things that he knew would help thanks to his father. He sat by the edge of the girls bed holding her hand. She too had lost her father she had greatly cared for, just like him. This was the sight that greeted Kagome when she walked in with the bucket of cold water. She smiled at the two children that had lost parents at suck a young age, but were so strong.
Shippo built a fire in the fire pit that was well used. As Kagome looked after the girl, who was now wrapped up in a blanket. Kagome sat on the stool that was sitting right next to the piles of furs that made up her bed. She frown at her lack of skills in healing. It was simple in her time with hospitals, doctors and stores with over the counter medicine and one could buy to help with colds. Here she was useless, even through Shippo thanked her for getting his father's pelt back. It was still not her who got it back for him.
Shippo went to Kagome so she could get the pot off the fire. Kagome pour water into a cup with the herbs Shippo said would help. He had proudly stated his father had shown them to him after he had gotten better from being ill. Kagome smiled at him and patted him on the head.
"Thank you Shippo I don't know what I would do with out your help." Shippo had beamed at her for saying so since, all the grown up did was call him a kid.
