InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Silence ❯ Chapter 6 ( Chapter 6 )

Angeltiger: *slumps around wearing a scowl*

Kagome: What's the matter Angel?

Angeltiger: *mumbles* I hate Christmas.

Kagome: *gasps* What?! Why?

Angeltiger: Cuz I'm a greedy little bitch. You always give more than you get, and that's a problem when you're as poor as I am. Chrismas just reminds me that I'm never able to get my friends what I want. Also, I'm just too bad at shopping for other people. Except for Chibitiger, my twin sister. We like the same stuff, so she's easy. But I also found my biggest challenge.

Sango: What's that?

Angeltiger: Shopping for boys.

Female half of Inu-cast: Mmmmmm hmmmm....

Angeltiger: So you can imagine how happy I was to give up, sit down with my bowl full of ramen, and type a nice little chapter for all my lovely little reviewers, and even the people who don't like to reveiw, to enjoy.

^_^;;;

Disclaimers:

Angeltiger: *sobs* I own absolutely NOTHING!! The show and/or magna are owned by Rumiko Takahashi. Any OCs are owned by fans that asked that they be put in my fic.

Silence

Chapter 6

"M'Lord! M'Lord!" An imp with blue stripes streaked down the hall in a blur, heading towards his master's study. He burst in the room, frantically searching around for his master.

"What is it?" Sesshomaru asked, unfazed by the urgentness in his servant's voice.

"It's Jakken, m'Lord! I'm afraid that human girl has attacked him! He is lying on the floor in the guest chambers. There's...there's blood coming from his head...he looks pale...I think he's he's..."

The taiyoukai sighed, obvously this was a new house-hand. Anyone else knew this was a frequent occurance for the toad. Nearly every time he went into Rin's room someone had to drag his unconsious self out.

"Right." He stared blankly at the chamber slave. "Bring the girl to me. You are not to harm her. Understood?"

"Yes, m'Lord." He straigtend in salute, then sauntered off to look for his prey. {Why doesn't he want the girl injured?} He wondered. {Especially after that ruthless bitch harmed Jaken-sama...}

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

"Hold still ya little shit." Kazuki scowled. A sugar high fox cub was squirming, trying to get free of his death grip. The wolf leaned in to take a sniff, {I thought so.}

"Why the hell do you smell like Kagome?"

Shippo huffed, "I could ask you the same question."

Kazuki looked thoughtful for a moment, {This fox is smarter than he looks.} "Tell me where she is."

The kit crossed his arms and huffed, imitating what he thought was an annoyed and threatening look. "Ch, like I'd tell you!"

It would probably have been more intimidating, had he not been haning upside-down by his puff of a tail.

"Don't test my patience, kid."

For a moment, Shippo was scared at the flash of red in the wolf's eyes. But he shook it off and grinned, deciding to stop fighting the sugar that theatend to overwelm him.

"Ya see she disapeared but we were looking for her and it's all your fault she's gone and I know you had something to do with it cuz I can smell what you did to her and Inuyaha'll make you pay for it YOU JERK!!" He yelled, squirming around in the wolf's hold.

Kazuki had a look of confusion etched on his features before giving the kit a violent shake, making the poor kid's eyes roll around in his head, but effectivly shutting him up non-the-less. {What the hell?} The boy's mouth had moved faster than anything he had ever seen in his life. The only thing he could catch out of that jumbled mess of hyperactivity was 'you jerk'. It took a few seconds to realize the kit must have been talking bad about him.

"Once again, you are trying my patience."

"Like I care." he mumbled, still feeling dizzy from the shake. He could feel his heart pounding in his ears.

"You're useless." Kazuki concluded before pulling his arm back in a windmill and hurling the fox through the air. He let out a haughty laugh and sneered as he heard the fox screaming all the way until he was out of earshot. He continued to watch while Shippo was reduced to a little black dot contrasting aginst the clear blue sky until even it finally dissapeared.

~~~~~

Angeltiger: Nooooooo! Shippo come back!! *looks down at the keyboard* Oh wait...I wrote that...oh shit! *screams and runs away as red-eyed Shippo fans race after her with flaming torches* O_O"

~~~~~

Kazuki sighed, {Now that he's out of my hair, I can finally find Kagome.}

~Kazuki.~

A little startled, Kazuki took a second to recognize the voice of the one violating his head. ~Yes Lord?~

~Have you located the girl yet?~

~Not yet, m'Lord. But I have been able to speak with her through one of her dreams.~

~I see... Return to us Kazuki, your brothers are waiting. We have things to...discuss.~

~Yes, Lord.~ He paused, ~Has my youngest brother, Suzuki, returned yet?~

~I'm afraid Kouga has kept him captive. We will deal with him later, but for now, you shall return home.~

~Hai, Lord Naraku.~

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

Kagome was interrupted from her little stalker game by a soft thump, shortly followed by a squiking that suspiciously sounded like something moist sliding slowly down glass. Thinking she had been caught, she ran to a thicker shadow hoping she could lose whomever was tracking her.

After a few minutes of absolutely nothing, she peered along the hallway. She nearly fell over when she saw what had made all the noise.

A familair kawii little kitzune has the whole front of his body plasted aginst a window. He was nearly flat as a pancake and spread out twice as much as his normal width. Her eyes didn't miss the trail of drool that was above him, slinking down in a straight line to his mouth; indicating that he had, in fact, slid down.

"Shippo!"

"Mafome!"

The girl named Mafome ran to the window and tried in vain to open it. Finaly realizing there was no way to get the damned thing open (as it had no hinges), she frantically searched for something to break a hole; as Shippo was further sinking. She didn't even want to know how high up from the ground they were, but she had a faint idea the kit wouldn't survive the fall.

"Mafome! Murree!!"

"I'm trying Shippo!"

Finally eyeing a sword in a sheath (AT: Ah how do you spell that? Is that right?) sitting atop something that looked like a podium, she snatched it up and began pounding on the lower corner of the glass, finally breaking a hole big enough to fit Shippo.

She looked at the kit expectantly, then slapped herself in the forehead, realizing the boy couldn't just pull himself off and risk slipping. She reached through the hole and carefully grabbed him by his leg, prying him off with difficulty, and pulling him gently through the hole. She held him close and rocked him as he clutched her tightly.

She waited until he was ready to explaine, her mind ready to digest anything that he told her.

"Momma!"

Except that.

Kagome stood, stunned as her brain went into shock. "W-what did you call me?"

"Uhhh...momma?" He offered. His ears pulled to the back of his head, scared she would reject him.

"Oh...ok Shippo."

"Ok?"

"Why not?" Relief washed over him and he grinned hugging her tighter. He hadn't actually meant to say it, but he just blurted it out after she rescued him.

"Shippo, what happened?" She sniffed, trying to hold back tears at the sight of his bruised face and limp tail. She paused in her rocking and took another sniff. She didn't know how, but she could smell the scent of 'him' all over her newly proclamed cub.

"What did that wolf do to you?" She growled.

Shippo turned pale, making his bruises stand out even more. He gulped at her growl, that defiantly didn't sound human. "H-how did you know it was a wolf?" He stammered.

"Shippo..." she warned.

He sighed, defeated. "He asked me where you were, and I wouldn't tell him. Then he got mad and threw me, I landed here."

Kagome's eyes falshed dangerously for a second before she calmed down. He had tried to hurt her pup, she wouldn't stand for it. She looked back down at the little kit and started to wonder when she had tought of him as hers. {Always}

She was startled out of her thoughts when Shippo gave a yelp.

"What is it?"

When he didn't answer she looked down, following his gaze. Seeing a demon not unlike the one she had met earlier. She felt a cold chill run down her spine when she caught the murderous look in his eyes.

"What are you doing here Miss?" He asked, growling out the last word.

"I was...uhhhhh...*ting* Getting my pup!" She held Shippo up and smiled in satisfaction. Though that wasn't what she had origionally set out to do, at least she wasn't lying.

The imp sniffed and frowned, "You are not related to him."

"He is mine." She growled, "Be satisfied with your answer." She didin't know why, but she felt she had to protect thier honor.

The imp growled back, "Come, my master wishes to see you." He walked away quickly on his little legs, making Kagome scamper to keep up with Shippo in her arms. She remembered the sword that she had used by the window and grabbed it before the blue-stripped imp could turn around, stuffing it in her belt loop...just in case. She knew she couldn't weild a sword, but she felt better knowing there was something sharp that was on her side.

{I like this,} Shippo sighed, not noticing the addition to her outfit and burying his body closer to her stomach, {She'll keep me safe...}

The three were quiet the whole walk to Sesshomaru's study, each lost in their own thoughts and Kagome fingering the hilt of the sword idly.

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

Angeltiger: No mention of Inuyasha and co in this one. I felt bad for barely including Kagome in the last few chapters, so I put a lot of her in here with nice tender moments with her 'son'.

Shippo: *smiles happily*

Inuyasha: *mumbles* Stupid tiger, how come I don't get any tender moments with Kagome?

Angeltiger: *ignores hanyou* Don't worry, PLENTY of Sesshomaru in the next chapter. As well as a few wolves, good or bad I'll let you decide. Hehehe...*sees the still angry Shippo fans starting to advance on her again* HEY!! I made it all better didn't I?! Leave me alone! *runs off*

Sesshomaru: *sighs* Also, it has been called to her attention that people do not like her little author-insertions. The thing is, that's what makes her happy as a writer, to commmunicate herself thorough her story as well. If there really are any problems you have with it, let her know. If enough people don't like it...she can stop.

Angeltiger: *sighs* Yet another also, I REALLY NEED AN EDITOR! Everytime I proof-read my sack of crap I can never find the spelling errors. I think my brian automatically knows what is supposed to be there, so I overlook it. And NO I don't have spell check. That handly little do-dad doesn't come with WordPad. Since I'm poor and have been reduced to a slave of my grandmothers, I can't exactly escape and go buy it can I?

Sesshomaru: You should see her at night. *snickers* Two seconds after her grandma falls asleep she snatches her laptop and types away in the dark. It's great.

Angeltiger: Shut up, you. If anyone would be kind enough to help, I'd be very appreciative!! And for all of you who actually like this accursid holiday, MERRY CHRISTMAS! For those of you who are with me, LET'S GO BURN SOME TREES!!! AWAY MY MINIONS!!! *struts off with a whole two x-mas hating readers*

Sesshomaru: *sighs* That girl gets a kick out of everything...
