Chapter 11: The Beginning

 

"So, where to Kagome?" Sango asked the girl next to her.

 

"How about we head north? Sound good Miroku?"

 

"Sounds fine Kagome. What about Inuyasha though?"

 

"He'll catch up when he's done with Kikyo. They are newly mated, so we need to give them some time to themselves."

 

Miroku and Sango fell behind to talk amongst themselves. "Do you think she's really ok Sango?"

 

"I'm not sure. She could be, but that would mean she's no longer in love with him. I'm not sure if that's possible though."

 

"Maybe she likes someone else, I mean did you see the mark on her neck? She's been trying to hide it, but I saw it. I don't think she wants Inuyasha to know that she has it."

 

"Well, if she likes someone else, shouldn't she tell us at least?"

 

Up ahead, Shippo was talking to Kagome. "Well momma, do you want Inuyasha to catch up with us?"

 

"I'm not sure, but I think Kikyo is coming too."

 

"But I don't wanna deal with the clay-pot. She's always mean to me."

 

"If she tries anything, we'll leave the group and hunt for the shards on our own. Sound good?"

 

"Do you think that just the two of us are strong enough to collect the shards momma?"

 

"I think that we can always try." She smiled down at her son. "Besides, I think that you're strong enough to protect me."

 

The kit's chest swelled with pride. "I suppose I could. Youko did teach me quite a bit."

 

"What all did he teach you?"

 

"I have some control over plants now and my foxfire is a lot stronger."

 

"Maybe you can help me train then?"

 

"Really, how?"

 

"I can put up a barrier now, but I need to try and make it hold. I also need to get it so I can call it up whenever."

 

"Are you gonna help me train too?"

 

"Of course, we can start training now."

 

"What are we gonna train momma?"

 

"Well, we can train your transformation. Make it so you can stay transformed longer."

 

"Ok momma!"

 

"Sango, Miroku, we're going to fly ok?"

 

"Huh? Ok, Kirara."

 

In a blast of flames, Kirara transformed into her larger form. Sango climbed on, then Miroku did. "You getting on Kagome?"

 

"Nope, my son is going to carry me. We're practicing his transformations."

 

Shippo puffed out his chest and transformed into a hawk. "Get on momma!"

 

**&**

 

"Kaede, where is everyone?"

 

"Well sister, they left already. Kagome said they needed to continue on with the journey, and that ye could catch up when ye were ready."

 

"Inuyasha, let us be off then."

 

"Ok Kikyo, climb on." He said as he lowered for her.

 

**&**

 

It was a few hours after they set out that Kagome sensed a piece of the Shikon No Tama. "I sense a jewel shard!"

 

"Where?" Miroku tried sensing a demonic aura.

 

She pointed east. "That way."

 

Shippo and Kirara headed in the direction she pointed out. They found a bunch of lizard demons attacking a village. Kagome drew her bow and pulled an arrow taunt. "Let's go Shippo!"

 

"Right momma!" He dove towards them and she released her arrow. Taking out ten at a time with her next two arrows. She jumped to the ground, rolling as she hit.

 

"Hiraikotsu!" Came Sango's cry as she released her weapon. Miroku was using ofudas since his wind tunnel was gone. He got attacked by one of the lizards and had a nice gash on his chest.

 

"Sango, get him outta here! Shippo and I can handle this!"

 

"But Kagome..." Sango started.

 

"Go! Now! We'll be fine!" Sango nodded and grabbed Miroku. She headed away from the village, and ended up meeting Inuyasha.

 

"Oh my god, Inuyasha! Kagome's fighting a bunch of lizard demons. Her and Shippo told us to leave!"

 

"Feh, guess we'll get the wench." Inuyasha said as he took off with Kikyo still on his back.

 

**&**

 

"Do you really think we can handle this?"

 

"Of course Shippo." Kagome said as she at a group of lizards trying to get at the village women. "Use your foxfire!"

 

"Ok." He jumped up and aimed at a group of lizards. "Foxfire!" They burned away under his blaze. "I did it!"

 

"Keep at it, the one with the shard's around here somewhere." She started hitting demons with her bow. They were purified on impact. "Found you!" She exclaimed as she fired an arrow at the jewel. She grabbed the shard before anyone else could get to it.

 

She turned toward the remaining lizards and nodded at Shippo who retreated to the villages. Aiming an arrow she fired at the center. The demons screamed as they were all purified. Shippo came running and jumped into her arms. "We did it momma! We did it!"

 

"Yep, and now we know that we could go off on our own."

 

"Mmhmm!" He started sniffing before a disgusted look overcame his face. "Clay-pot and Inu-baka are coming."

 

Kagome giggled at his use of names. "Be nice Shippo."

 

"How can we ever repay you?" "You saved our lives, you must stay the night!" "May we know who you are?"

 

The two turned towards the villagers and smiled. "I'm a humble priestess." She smirked to herself about that. "My name is Kagome, and this is my son Shippo. He's a full fox demon, and we travel around the country helping those in need."

 

Shippo looked up at his mother and snickered. "Yes, and the other two are our friends. Sango and Miroku. A demon slayer and a buddhist monk."

 

"Priestess, you travel in strange company. We must pay you for your help."

 

"That is not necessary, though it would be helpful." Kagome looked down to see Shippo trying not to growl. "We must be on our way." She turned and nodded to her son.

 

The villagers gasped as Shippo transformed into a hawk big enough to carry her. Once she was on his back, he took off. "Where to momma?"

 

"I think we should head back to Sango and Miroku." Kagome laughed to herself for a moment. "Do you know how to hide your scent and aura?" Shippo nodded. "Do it, then we can avoid the new mated couple."

 

Shippo snickered but did as he was told. Kagome masked her power like she was taught, and grabbed a petal off the plant Youko had given her. Rubbing on her skin as she laughed. "I smell Koga."

 

"Hmm.... I don't sense his shards." Her mind started making her worry. "Could he have been attacked?" "Let's go to him Shippo."

 

"Ok momma."

 

They landed near him as he fell over. He was bleeding profusely. Kagome was going crazy trying to get it to stop. She was trying to remember something that Kaede once told her. "I think I need to call on my power and concentrate."

 

"What are you talking about momma?"

 

"I'm trying to remember what Kaede said about healing. Do you remember?"

 

"Umm.... I think you put your hands over the wound and concentrate while you call forth your power."

 

Trusting the words of her son, she attempted it. It was difficult, but after several minutes she succeeded. "We need to get him back to the group."

 

"I think I can carry you both, but I'm not sure for how long."

 

"Ok." Kagome stood and had to drag Koga onto Shippo's back. She got on behind him to hold him on. "Let's get to the others."

 

**&**

 

"Demons! Run!"

 

Kikyo and Inuyasha arrived at the village and caused everyone to flee. They were throwing rocks at them. "What the fuck did we do to them?"

 

"Let's go Inuyasha."

 

He nodded and grabbed her as he took off. They returned to the others and told them what happened. Miroku was in pain and barely conscious, and Sango was almost hysteric. "I don't care Inuyasha! Miroku is hurt!"

 

**&**

 

"I can smell Miroku's blood!" Shippo exclaimed. "And there's a lot of it!"

 

"Can you hurry? I think his wound's on his chest."

 

Shippo hurried his speed and they could see their friends within a few minutes. Sango seemed to be yelling at Inuyasha, and Kikyo was staring uninterestedly at Miroku. She seemed not to care that he could be dying.

 

"Sango!" Everyone looked up to see Kagome jumping from Shippo's back. Inuyasha's eyes widened and he was about to hurry forward when she landed on her feet. "How's Miroku doing?"

 

"I don't know, I can't get him to stay awake." Sango started crying as she threw herself at Kagome. "His wound just won't quit bleeding!"

 

Kagome nodded as she looked at him. She turned her attention back to Sango and shook her gently. "I need you to get Koga off Shippo's back while I heal him." She stood still a few minutes before it dawned on her. Hurrying off to Shippo, she let Kagome walk to Miroku.

 

Placing both hands over his chest she concentrated. A blue glow surrounded her before going into Miroku. Inuyasha and Kikyo just watched as she worked on healing the monk. "So wench, when did you start doing this?"

 

"When Shippo and I found Koga injured." Came her terse reply.

 

"You actually helped the wimpy wolf?"

 

"Yes." Rising, she headed over to where Sango was sitting with said wolf. "Miroku's fine, we need to wake Koga up though."

 

"Alright." Sango got something and passed it under the wolf's nose. "That should wake him up."

 

He stirred a little and whimpered. "My legs hurt."

 

"I'm sure they would, they were torn open." Shippo said as he bounced over to Kagome's lap.

 

"What happened Koga?" Kagome was looking into his sky blue eyes. He was a handsome man, but her heart belonged to someone else.

 

"A guy named Kunara. He claimed to be the son of Naraku. He had numerous shards, I'd say about a fourth of them."

 

"Naraku had a son? There is no way that or the fact he has shards is a good thing." Kagome frowned as she looked to her son.

 

"He said he's taking revenge for his father's death, and he said that Naraku's death was only the beginning."
