Chapter Two
Saige slowly woke up and notices her surrounding. Her vision was blurry, but she can still see a red kimono. She immediately recognizes the robe of the Fire Rat which belongs to Inuyasha. Last thing she remembered before she was unconscious was that she was running away from the demons that were chasing her, Kagome, and Jaken. Then she jumped into the Bone Eater's well going after a demon that was trying to change the past.
She sat up and grabbed her head when she felt a headache "Urgh! My head"
The room fell silent. As everything in the room become clear, Saige looked up and notices that everyone was staring at her.
"You're awake," a woman voice said that Saige recognizes as Kagome.
Saige looked around when her eyes landed on Inuyasaha. Her eyes widen "Inuyasha?" she accidently blurts out causing Inuyasha and the others to wonder how this strange girl knew them.
Inuyasha growls "Who are you and how you know my name?" he asked,
Inuyasha's angrily look would sacred a person into telling him what he wants to know, but not Saige. She still remains calm and folds her arms "I don't have to answer to the likes of you"
"Wrong answer," Inuyasha said, getting ready to strike the girl on the head with his fist.
"Inuyasha!" Inuyasha looked at Kagome who has an annoy look on her face.
"What! This girl is really pissing me off"
"Her attitude sure resemble someone," Kagome thought
Saige smirked as she enjoys pissing Inuyasha off. Honestly, she was glad to see familiar faces rather than a strange face. For instance, Inuyasha was still the same person she knew with the same attitude, but still he was the one that help with her power and how to control it. Without Inuyasha, she wouldn't be able to control her power and would go around attacking peoples or whatever is in her way.
"Would yee like some soup?' Saige turns and saw Kaede holding the bowl of soup toward her.
She took the bowl soup from the Kaede "Thank you…" She hesitates wondering if she should said the old woman name. Kaede has helped her a lot. When she was injury from battle or sick, Kaede would take care of her injuries if Kagome was busy helping Inuyasha.
"You can called me Kaede," Kaede said interrupt the Saige's thoughts.
Saige slightly nodded and take a sip of the soup.
"Knock it off Inuyasha!"
Kagome turns back and looked at Saige. Inuyasha sat back down turning his head the other way and didn't say anything
Kagome sighs and then looked at Saige "Sorry about that. My name is Kagome, The old lady is Kaede. She's a priest and finally this Inuyasha, a half demon dog" She points at the Inuyasha sitting next to her "What's your name and how come you were unconscious at the Bone Eater's well?"
"Saige"
"What?"
"My name is Saige," Saige repeated again.
"Saige, why were you unconscious at the Bone Eater's well?"
"I was injury during the battle with demons and I was worn-out out from it"
"I know how that feels," Inuysaha said all of sudden agreeing with Saige.
"Kaede and I were tending your wound, the gash on your back is pretty bad," Kagome said.
Saige shrugged "It's not a big deal, I got even worst injuries than that," she said as if it was nothing.
"So who were those demons after you?" Kagome asked.
"They work for a demon named Cobramaru," Saige replied.
"Cobramaru?" Inuyasha asked who's now interested into the conversation.
Saige clenches her fists as she was thinking about Cobramaru "He's a snake demon, a powerful one. He can absorb demons power and uses as if it was his own. Also, he can actually shape shift as anyone," Saige explained.
Inuyasha got up "Tell me where this demon is and I'll destroy it with my Tessaiga".
Saige shook her head "I don't know where he is. Even if you meet him I don't think you can destroy nor defeat him".
Inuyasha clenches his fists "DON"T YOU HAVE ANY COURAGE AT ALL! IF YOU WANT TO DEFEAT THIS DEMON CREEP, THEN YOU SHOULD BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN DO IT!"
"Inuyasha?" Kagome blinks her eyes.
Inuyasha's words trigger a memory for Saige.
~Flashback~
A fist slams into a tree. A youkai demon put her head against the tree upset that she had screw up in the battle putting her friends in harm way. The youkai demon looked to the side revealed to be Saige. Saige was upset and wanted to be by herself. She was standing in front of the sacred tree.
"You know being upset doesn't solve anything," a voice spoke from behind Saige.
Saige turned around and saw someone she wasn't expecting to see; Inuyasha.
"I really don't want to talk about it," she said.
"I'm not expecting you to talk about it," Inuyasha replied.
He walked up to Saige.
"Don't you get it? It's my fault! I screw up!" Saige growls letting her anger getting the best of her.
"Everyone make mistake. Even I make mistake, but that doesn't mean I giving up the fight neither should you," he told her.
"WELL I GUESS I DON"T HAD IT IN ME! MAYBE I SHOULD GIVE UP!"
Saige was so angry that without thinking she swings her fist at Inuyasha who grabs her fist with his hand, stopping it from colliding with his face.
Inuyasha got angry that with his other hand, he slapped Saige across the face.
Saige placed a hand on her face
"Thanks I need that," she said a moment later
This time her anger had calm down and Inuyasha's words finally got through to her.
Inuyasha let go of Saige's fist. "No problem," he said.
Saige sat down on the ground looking down "I'm sorry I let my anger get the best of me," she apologies.
Inuyasha sat down next to her "Don't worry about it Saige. I know how you feel when you're upset because I felt the same way when I was upset".
"But there's a different between you and me even though we are demon," Saige mentions
"What's that?" Inuyasha asked.
"You shed tears when you're sad but I can't," she told him.
Inuyasha shook his head "That doesn't mean you don't care, you probably just need to open your heart to everyone that care for you".
Saige nodded with understanding that Inuyasha is right. Maybe she just needs to be more open to her friends and family.
"So what's now?" she asked.
Inuyasha got up "How about we do some training, what do you say?" he extended a hand toward Saige.
Saige smiles and take Inuyasha's hand. He helped her "Bet I can beat ya!"
Inuyasha scoffed "Yeah right!"
They laughed and walked to their favorite spot to train.
~End Flashback~
Saige closes her eyes and smiles a little. She got up "You're right, I can defeat Cobramaru and I'll prove it!"
Inuyasha smiles "Now that's the spirit!"
"Wow! I never notice Inuyasha can actually be a good talking. Not to mention that he just gave courage to Saige," Kagome thought.
A noise outside startles them. Inuyasha and Saige were the first one to sense it and already outside. Kagome grabbed her bow and arrows and left outside with Inuyasha and Saige.
TBC:
Yes Saige is a demon but can you guess who's her father. There is a clue "Her attitude".
Next Chapter Sango, Miroku, Shippo will meet Saige.
