Hanyou Heaven Chapter 3: We meet once again

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

“Oh, wow! It looks great!”

“Hai. We did well.” Sango and Miroku walked around the village checking to see if everything was in place. They were having the festival in honor of Kagome tonight. They were worried about InuYasha and wanted to try and get him to do something fun. The festival could be a good way to cheer him up and get some food in him.

“Foxfire!” Shippo tossed his blue green fire at each lantern and smirked. A few children behind him cheered for the little show. Kirara transformed and hung each one to receive the children's cheers and a few claps from passing villagers. Sango smiled as her small feline friend bowed for some of them to climb onto her back. She was a cute little assistant for the small act. Sango fiddled with the edge of her obi. Kaede had given her a nice kimono to wear, but it felt weird wearing such nice clothes. It was just too nice for it not to attract Miroku's wandering hand. She quickly smacked his fingers as they lingered to close.

“Don't even try, monk!” she growled and glared at him. He gave her a foolish grin and crossed his arms into his sleeves.

“Just a complement, Sango my dear.”

“And then you go and give one to every other girl you set eyes on!”

“Sango! Miroku! Come quickly!” Kaede called from a hut close by. They rushed over and were met by a small girl with orange hair and cat ears at the door.

“She's in here… Please help her!” she said and pointed at a corner. Kaede was bent over a still form with bandages spread out behind her.

“What's wrong, Kaede?!” Sango asked and kneeled next to her.

“This one is badly wounded. I need ye help.”

“Just a second.” Sango pushed Miroku out and went back to Kaede. The girl hovered behind to watch as they bandaged her friend. When they were finished she took over and tucked a blanket around her. Sango watched as she cared for the other and smiled. “Are you family?” she asked quietly. The girl shook her head and turned to her with a smile.

“Arigato. She saved me from a group of demons. I'm going to stay with her for now.” Sango nodded and left without a word. The girl looked back down at the other and whispered,” You can open your eyes now.” She smiled and sat up quickly.

“Do you think they know it's me?” she asked.

“Not at all!” They both giggled and settled down to have some of the stew Kaede had put out for them.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*

“What girl?!”

“A hanyou girl.”

“A hanyou?!

“Hai! Now eat! You haven't eaten anything in days!”

“I'm not hungry…” Plies of food stacked high on the table provided cover for all, but a pair of silver ears that twitched in annoyance. A fluffy tail bobbed around next them with a staff jingling behind. InuYasha took a sniff from the air and stopped in his tracks, causing a bit of a pile up behind.

“What are you doing, InuYasha?!” Shippo squeaked angrily.

“Don't you smell that?”

“Smell what?”

“It can't be?! She… She's gone…!” The hanyou looked over at the only hut with a light in it and frowned. “Strange…” he muttered and headed for it.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*

“So you're here as Shippo's guardian angel?”

“Um-hmm. Fate sent me down here for that and to watch you. I regained my memories too! But everyone I knew is dead now…”

“Don't worry!” Kagome exclaimed and patted her back,” You can stick with me, Malana. Shippo's a great little guy.” Malana smiled and nodded.

“InuYasha! They're resting!”

“Shut up, Shippo!” The mat over the door flipped up and InuYasha came in. A blush appeared on Kagome's face when he looked at her. He snorted and went back outside. Shippo came tumbling in after and looked up at the two.

“Malana! Are you two friends?” he asked getting up.

“Hai.”

“So you already told him?” Kagome asked from behind. Malana nodded her head.

“What's your name?” Shippo asked. Kagome froze.

“Oh, no! I can't tell them who I am! Ummm…” She franticly searched her mind and said the first name that came to mind. “Izayoi.” She blinked. “Where did that name come from? I don't remember hearing that anywhere. Oh, well. It's nice!”

“It's nice to meet you. Well, if you're feeling well enough why don't you come out and see the festival.”

“Festival?!” “They're having a festival and I've only been dead for a little?! I thought they cared…”

“Hai. It's in honor of our friend who died awhile ago…” Shippo said sadly.

“Of course I'll come out!” Kagome said and scooped him up into her arms. “They do care! I have the best friends in the world!” She looked back down at Malana and asked,” Are you coming, Malana?”

“Iie. I'm still a little tired.”

“I'll get you some food to eat!” Shippo exclaimed and leapt out of Kagome's arms, scurrying away on all fours.

Kagome went out after him and her newly sensitive ears were hit with the loud chatter of the crowded square. A yell from behind caught her attention and she turned around to see Miroku.

“My lady!” He stopped, took a deep breath, and finished his sentence. “Are you feeling well enough to get up?”

“I'm fine, Miroku! You don't need to worry,” she said and flashed him a smile.

“How do you know my name?” he asked with a confused look.

“Shippo has told me a lot about you. And Malana said to keep my distance from your wondering hand.”

“Ah heh heh heh… It runs in the family,” he said laughing nervously and rubbing the back of his neck.

“Hi, guys!” Shippo said and walked under them holding a plate full of food over his head.

“Konichwa, Shippo,” Kagome said and waved at him.

“So you are friends with Shippo and Malana?”

“Hai. Oh, excuse my bad manners. My name is Izayoi.”

“Monk!!” They both looked back to see Sango stomping up with a vein popping up on her forehead.

“My dear Sango! I would like you to meet my friend Izayoi,” Miroku said and gestured towards Kagome.

“And for what reason are you talking to her?!”

“It's alright, Sango. He hasn't done anything. Yet at least. Malana warned before,” Kagome said in reassurance.

“Do I know you? You look familiar…” Sango asked her temper settling down.

“Iie! Shippo has told me so much about you though!” The two blinked and looked at each other with confused looks. The mat behind went up and Malana came out making them jump.

“Konichiwa, everyone!” she said with a smile.

“Malana! Where did your wings go?” Sango asked.

“I have to hide the.”

“Then are you an angel, Izayoi?”

“Of the sorts…”

“You're a lot like our friend Kagome. Did you, perhaps, she her… Up there?” Miroku asked quietly.

“Hai. I believe she's a normal angel.” The two smiled and sighed in relief. Kagome nodded her head.

“I'm in a better place alright. Right here with you guys,” she thought and looked around for a certain dog eared hanyou to end up with nothing. As if Malana read her mind the girl tugged on Sango's kimono.

“Where is that hanyou?”

“InuYasha? In the forest somewhere I think.”

“Oh…”

“I'm going for a walk,” Kagome said.

“Bye!” Malana answered in response and Kagome leapt over the crowd. She looked at the crowd below and smiled. They were all there for her. She tucked her tail around her waist as she landed on a tree branch above. She smiled and landed on the ground of the dirt path below. The fresh scent of the forest calmed her. Fresh dampened earth and wood mixed with the blooming flowers. She stopped and took a deep breath and a stronger scent cut through the rest.

“Vanilla and cherries… Mmmm…” She felt herself get drowsy. It seemed to drug her. She went forward and the scent got stronger.

“Damn!” A curse echoed of the trees and a frustrated growl soon followed. She hid behind a tree and peeked around to see a silver hair boy pull himself out of the well. “Why can't I get through?! I-if she' not here she'll be there. Alive and happy. Doing her damned math stuff and flirting with that `Hoho' freak. She has to be!” He sat down and leaned back against the well closing his eyes.

“InuYasha…” she breathed and carefully stepped out onto the cut grass. She padded over and stood over him, a smile growing on her face. “Konichiwa!” she exclaimed. His eyes snapped open and he jumped up. Surprised, he gaped at her and shook his head.

“What do you want, wench?” he grumbled, crossing his arms into his sleeves and stuck his nose into the air.

“Oh, nothing…! I was just taking a walk. This place is so calming…” she said and sat on the lip of the well. She closed her eyes and sighed. She cracked them a bit and saw InuYasha glancing over at her. Another smile spread across her face. “If I'm correct you must be InuYasha.”

“What's it to ya?”

“Just asking. Shippo and Malana have told me quiet a bit about you.” The inu-hanyou's ears swiveled towards her and then he looked over.

“What'd they say?”

“Well, Shippo was the one who did all the talking, but he said you were a dog breathed, hard headed, big mouthed hanyou with a short temper to top it all off.” He growled and jumped up yelling,” Why that little whelp! He's going to get when I get back!!” Kagome began laughing and he gave her a weird look. “It looks like he was right too!” He snorted and glared at her.

“Feh! Think what you want.”

“You are very rude, you know.”

“Whatever.” He looked up at her and his face softened. “You're a hanyou aren't you?”

“Hai.”

“So you were the one in the cabin with Malana! They said you were badly wounded.”

“I was. I feel fine now.”

“That's the life of a hanyou…”
