Chapter 02: Search For Momma

 

Shippo waited until everyone else was asleep. He knew that he'd not be able to sleep with his mother missing. Slowly, so as not to worsen his injured side, he walked over to her backpack and picked it up. It was heavy and slightly hurt him to lift it, but he was determined to bring it. When he found his momma, he knew that she'd like to have her bathing supplies and fresh clothes.

 

He took off, as fast as he could. He couldn't go too fast or the weight combined with his speed would reopen the gash he had. He could care less about the burn on his arm hurting, but demons can bleed to death, so he needed to be mindful of the deep wound on his side.

 

"Momma, I'm coming." He whispered into the night sky.

 

**&**

 

Kuronue had no idea what to do. He didn't like to hear a woman crying, and it was mainly because the wailing hurt his ears. Youko looked indifferent toward her and leapt into a tree. Kuronue, seeing no way to help her, followed Youko's lead. If he was lucky, maybe he wouldn't be able to hear her from the tree.

 

On the ground, Kagome sobbed as memories of the battle replayed in her mind. She didn't want to think about it, but couldn't help it. The battle was long and terrible. Stupid dragons had attacked with many low level demons. Battling all of them was difficult, because there were poisonous insects. Since Naraku's demise, the bugs have been helping whomever wished to attack the group.

 

Flashback

 

"Miroku! Watch out!" Sango yelled as she tossed her bone boomerang.

 

"Sacred Sutra!" Came Miroku's yell as he took down five demons at once. "There are too many!"

 

Meanwhile, Kagome fought to kill the insects and demons alike. Firing off arrow after arrow, and keeping Shippo behind her. He helped somewhat as he used his foxfire to take down the insects she couldn't. But it seemed that no matter how many they took down, more would jump in to replace them. She reached to notch another arrow, and found that it was the only one she had left.

 

"My arrows!" She cried out alarmed. Shippo's eyes went wide when he noticed. He took off into the demons. "Shippo! No, get back here!"

 

"But momma, you need arrows!" He hollered back as he collected all he could find. Poison insects instantly went after him "Foxfire!" He shouted as he ran back toward his mother to hand her the arrows.

 

"Foolish kit, the arrows will not help!" Came a roar from behind him.

 

Shippo immediately turned and paled at the sight before him. A seemingly human man had stepped forward and began to transform. "Dragon! Momma, we need to run!"

 

Kagome nodded as she grabbed her kit. She ran toward the other, dodging demons that attempted to get her. The group looked up when they heard a mighty roar. Inuyasha was the first to recognize the seriousness of the situation. "Shit!" He ran toward them, but would be to late.

 

"Give me the shards woman!" Came a roar as the dragon swiped with his claws.

 

Shippo being brave, knocked Kagome out of the way and took the hit. "Shippo!" She screamed as she rushed toward him, but too late. The dragon roared and shot flames at the kit. He managed to get out of the full blast but still got burned. Kagome reached him a second later, scooping him into her embrace. "Are you ok sweetie?"

 

"I'll... be alright... momma..." He said as he passed out. Inuyasha arrived at that moment and Kagome got up and ran toward the others.

 

As Inuyasha fought off the dragon, Sango, Miroku, and Kirara attempted to keep the demons at bay. Kagome quickly stopped Shippo's bleeding and bandaged the wound tightly. "Kirara!" The fire cat was at her side in an instant. "Please, protect my son?" She nodded and Kagome tucked the kit on her back.

 

"Kagome! Are you ok?" Miroku asked as he threw more sutra's at the demons.

 

Kagome looked out at all the demons with tears streaming down her face. She grabbed one of the arrows that Shippo had gotten for her and drew it taunt against the bow, aiming at the oncoming demons. "Die!" She yelled as she released her rage into a powerful attack. Her friends stood dumbfounded as hundreds of demons succumbed to a single arrow. The light from which illuminated the predawn sky.

 

The battle raged on as more demons appeared. The dragon struck at everyone, giving Miroku and Sango third degree burns, though not harming Inuyasha due to the fire rat. Kagome had burns and cuts all over. There was a deep gash in her arm, but only Inuyasha noticed. For she didn't care. Her son was still in danger, and she needed to protect him.

 

She pulled her final arrow and looked out at the enemy. The dragon couldn't be shot. It had easily dodged the other two attempts, so she needed to figure out what to do. She had yet to be able to fling out bolts of purifying energy with her hands, so she couldn't help after she fired off this arrow.

 

She couldn't take out the dragon, but maybe she take out the demons so her friends would have a better chance against him. She pulled her last arrow taunt against the bow. She prayed her idea worked. Thinking of Shippo's wounded and possibly dying body, thinking of Inuyasha's battered form, Sango and Miroku's burnt bodies still struggling to fight.

 

She felt her power flare around her with her need to help them. Pushing every last ounce she had into her remaining arrow, she took aim and fire. In a blast of amazing light, all the demons simultaneously turned to ash. The dragon screamed as even his wing was affected by the blast. It burned his delicate wing and he looked mad.

 

The others all teamed up on the dragon, while Kagome grabbed her bag and called Kirara. If she couldn't help them, she try to help Shippo some more. She took his arm and sprayed it with disinfectant. He whined, but stayed unconscious. She grabbed the gauze as a load roar came from behind her. Turning in time to see the dragon coming after her, she shoved Shippo onto Kirara and commanded her to keep him safe. And that's when the dragon grabbed her.

End Of Flashback

 

"I just wish I knew if he was ok." Kagome whispered as exhaustion caused her to fall asleep.

 

**&**

 

"I wish I knew where momma was." Shippo whined as he ran in the direction Miroku had pointed. But he suddenly stopped and started sniffing. He could faintly smell her from a different direction. The wind must've carried it to him, as well as the scent of two others. "So she escaped?" He took another sniff. "Or maybe someone else got her."

 

He took off in the direction. Shippo knew that he was tiring and would need rest soon, but he had to try and make it to his mother. Kirara had told him what had happened while he was unconscious. Hurrying onward, he managed to run another five miles before collapsing. "Momma...."

 

**&**

 

Kagome was up and moving before either of the demons. She had trouble sleeping, so last time she awoke, she just stayed up. Entering the forest, she managed to find some berries to eat. She put out the fire and sat against a tree. Hoping that everyone was alright and that none of her dreams were real.

 

The bat and the fox woke a while later and decided it was time to continue on. They walked for a few hours before reaching a cave. Kagome entered it after them and found lots of treasure. She put the stuff she was carrying down, and sat. She had no idea where she was, no idea what to do, and no idea if anyone would be able to find her here.

 

"You can go now." Said the bat demon as he looked at her.

 

"Hmm... and where would I go? I have no clue where anyone is."

 

"Then wonder around and hope they find you." Came a suggestion to her right.

 

"No. I'm staying here until they find me." She said as she crossed her arms. "What are your names anyway?"

 

"You mean you don't know who he is?" The asked, looking about to fall over laughing.

 

"Should I?"

 

"I'm Youko Kurama." came the simple answer of the fox.

 

"Hmm... don't think I've ever heard that name before."

 

The bat looked shocked before he started laughing. "You must be stupid if you really don't know Youko."

 

Ok, now Kagome as we know, hates being called names. You could clearly see the vein popping in her forehead. Which is why, when a gold statue hit him in the head, no one was surprised. "Baka demons. Baka men." She growled.

 

Youko chuckled at the look on Kuronue's face. "I don't think you should try her patience Kuronue."

 

"I think you're right. Perhaps we should let her stay here since she obviously doesn't want to leave." You could hear the mischievous smile in his voice as he spoke. He ended up with another golden statue hitting his head.

 

**&**

 

Early in the morning, the group that hunted Naraku woke up. Sango looked around, but couldn't find Shippo or Kagome's bag. Suddenly paling at the thought of him going off on his own. "Inuyasha, do you know where Shippo is?"

 

"I thought the runt was down here with you guys."

 

"No, and Kagome's bag is also missing."

 

"Stupid kit. Pack up camp and get ready to leave. We need to stop him." Inuyasha hollered.

 

**&**

 

Slowly waking, Shippo noticed his unfamiliar surroundings. Getting up, he grabbed his mother's bag and continued on his way toward her scent. It was already late, a few hours past noon. He knew that Inuyasha and the others were probably freaking, just as he knew he had to find his mother before they found him.

 

Otherwise, they'd drag him back with them and make him stay with Kaede while they looked. He didn't want that, he wanted his mother. After about three hours, he caught her scent. It wasn't very close, but it was there. Less than a day away. He could reach it by tomorrow.
