InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Small Youkai Lovers ❯ 4 ( Chapter 4 )
[ Y - Young Adult: Not suitable for readers under 16 ]
Disclaimer: I do not own the Inuyasha characters, they belong to Rumiko Takahashi. I do however own my own ideas for this companion, or spin off.
A/N: Okay I really hate having to follow cannon 100% SO from here out this puppy is taking a new direction.
Some things will still occur like the Shippo/Souten battle, but Kirara will battle at Shippo's side. And the Inutachi will still meet up with the BOS, but other than a few brief references to the canon here and there, this is going the way that my fingers fly on the keyboard. You have been warned! :P
Chapter four:
--
Later that night, after Inuyasha saved Myoga and Miroku returned the jewel shard chunk to Kagome, everyone but Kirara left the cave. She sat in her larger form and just stared at Midoriko's statue for a moment.
The unexpected journey into the past of her former mistress, while her current mistress Sango had explained Midoriko's story to the new group, had stirred up her own memories of those days.
Releasing a long drawn out sigh, Kirara curled up at her former mistress' statue's feet and nuzzled her a bit, softly mewling to her, hoping deep in her tiny heart for some kind of response.
When she received no reply, Kirara's head buried into her paws, as she thought miserably, "Oh Midoriko, I miss you so much." Heart feline heart was so heavy and aching with how much she terribly missed her former mistress.
Kirara closed her eyes and her mind replayed the vivid memory of a sunny day with a semi strong wind blowing by as she and Midoriko walked side by side on a grassy hill. Both had walked silently beside one another, enjoying the comfort of each others' company.
A few crystal droplets of moisture slipped down her furry cheeks as she allowed her deep pain and loneliness to finally release in the form of tears, as she softly cried herself to sleep.

Dream Sequence:
Kirara was sitting up on the grassy hill and lifted her tear soaked furry face up to the sky sighing. Her eyes opened in shock as she felt a slender yet strong hand scratching behind her ears.
Her eyes widened further as she noticed the ghost standing beside her. Midoriko's soft smile stretched across her painted lips as she spoke softly. "What's wrong Kirara?" staring into her feline companion's teary eyes.
Kirara mewled sadly and hung her head. Midoriko sighed and said, "I know girl. I miss you too." as her arms circled the big cat's neck in a warm embrace, nuzzling into the cat's thick soft yellow fur.
Feeling her heart lighten from the heavy sadness, as a slow happiness replaced it, Kirara began to purr as she nuzzled her old mistress and communicated to her through mournful mewls and sighs.
As if she knew exactly what her faithful feline companion was saying, Midoriko hugged the large two tailed fire cat and whispered, "You will be okay, Kirara." Adding, "I have seen your new friends. Sango is a tough one and an excellent warrior, worthy of being your partner in battle."
Kirara mewled her agreement. Midoriko smiled and pulled back, to scratch behind the black cat ears adding, "She too has taken up a stand against the demons."
Kirara mewled again, angling her head to give her former mistress better access to the spot she enjoyed having scratched the most.
Midoriko smiled and scratched the spot, causing Kirara's left paw to thump against the ground of its own accord, from pleasure of her favorite spot behind her ears being scratched.
Midoriko chuckled and said slightly amused, "Still the same spot, eh girl?" Kirara mewled happily, as her tears dried and her soft eyes shone with a melancholy happiness.
Midoriko smiled at her old companion and closest friend instructing, "Watch over them Kirara. Help Sango and her friend's restore the jewel; so that I can finally rest at peace once the demon is defeated inside the jewel, okay?"
Kirara mewled promising to do her best to help the others, and allow her friend a peaceful rest once everything came to an end.
Midoriko bent her head to Kirara's ear and whispered, "Be happy, my friend." before placing a brief yet affectionate kiss on the black diamond adorning the cat's head.
Kirara mewled and Midoriko stood to her feet, pulling back to stare into her friend's eyes a moment, before fading away as the wind began to blow softly, wisping the ghost away from sight.
Kirara let out a sad mewl and her eyes dropped to the ground as the heavy lowliness again began to slowly invade her feline heart.
The wind picked up again and a hard gust blew by, sending leaves from the ground up into the sky. When the leaves settled, Kirara blinked as she spotted three small kittens.
Her eyes widened as they ran over to her joyfully mewling to her, saying, "Mama, Mama, there you are, we were so worried about you."
She blinked and stared at the kittens wondering why the thought she was their mother. Although she knew she had never had any children, her heart recognized the kittens as if they had actually come from her womb.
She strained her ears while they twitched, as she thought she hear a semi familiar voice calling for her and the kittens.
Before she could identify anything about the voice, other then it sounded familiar, the wind picked up and the kittens became obscured.

Kirara felt a hand on her shoulder, as someone tried to gently wake her up.
She roused sleepily and blinked a few times, trying to focus her eyes. When her eyes finally gained focus, she stared up at Sango, who smiled and said, "Come Kirara, we're ready to leave." as she pet her cat lovingly.
Kirara mewled and transformed into her smaller state. She looked at Midoriko's statue a moment, then mewled and leapt onto Sango's shoulder and began rubbing against her check.
Sango smiled and said, "Good girl Kirara." as she pet her faithful companion and began walking out of the cave.
Soon after they joined the others, everyone stood up and Sango slung her gigantic boomerang on her back, as they all began walking off down the path that would lead them away from the village.
Kirara rode on Sango's shoulder, in her small form. Shippo Happily perched on Kagome's shoulder and smiled at his little friend waving. Kirara mewled back to him and the group slowly made their way to an open field.
