Two Discussions One Demon Hunter

 

 

 

Kagome sat in the corner, her knees up and pressed into her chest. It was the same position Sango had been in when they found her…

 

Sango. She thought sadly She…she really is gone. Our friend is now a blood thirsty demon, with only darkness in her heart and a jewel shard in her chest. The person I use to bathe with and eat my lunch and laugh and tell jokes…is…

 

Kagome let out a sob once again and buried her face deeper into her knees. She keep hoping that at any moment, Sango would walk through those doors, smiling and telling them all how she had tricked those two demons and returned to normal…maybe even bring back the missing shards.

 

Inuyasha grumbled as Miroku wrapped a bandage around his chest, then let out a sigh, the cooling medicine taking effect quickly and soothing his injuries. His other cuts had already healed, which was better then the rest of them.

 

Miroku had a massive bruise on his side that would take forever to heal, as well the injuries Sango had inflicted that made it hard to sit. Shippo had slivers in his foot that needed pulling, which had been a chore in of all itself. The little fox demon wouldn't stop wiggling, and it had taking Inuyasha nearly choking him to allow Miroku the time needed to remove them.

 

Miroku had been acting as their doctor, since Kaede and the rest of the villagers had yet to return and Kagome had sat in the corner since they had found the house, one of the few spared in the fight and raid. They had returned after an hour, and found the demons had left with Sango in tow.

 

Though, I guess when I say demons, that counts Sango now. He thought bitterly.

 

“Kagome, let me see your legs so I can patch them up.”

 

“No thanks.” She said quietly.

 

Shippo, Miroku and Inuyasha leaned in close, whispering something, and then broke up. “Come on woman, let the monk here do his job.” Inuyasha said calmly.

 

Kagome shook her head. “I'm fine…barely can feel it.”

 

“Wow, really?” Shippo asked, walking over to her. “But it looks so big and painful!” He reached out to touch it, but Miroku had already scooped him up.

 

Kagome closed her eyes. “It's nothing…an accident…Sango didn't mean to do it. It will be just fine…OW!” Kagome leapt up and stared daggers at Inuyasha, who had just ran his finger along the wound. She winced, taking a step forward. “what was that for?”

 

“Doesn't look like nothing….” Inuyasha leapt around her, using one arm to restrain her, another to cover her mouth before she could scream `Sit!'. Kagome struggled, trying to bite down on his hand. “Miroku, get her legs! Shippo, the bandages!”

 

The two scrambled, Miroku trying to avoid Kagome's flying feet, Shippo to get the wrappings as quick as he could. He ran over to Kagome, but her foot lashed out, kicking him and sending him into the wall. He began to cry and Kagome broke free, running over and cradling him.

 

“You two idiots! Look what you made me do!” kagome stroking Shippo's side. “are you ok?”

 

Shippo nodded, then covered her face with his body. “Grab her!”

 

Inuyasha and Miroku sprang to action, Inuyasha stopping her throws, Miroku applying the wrappings. After a minute, all three let go, leaving Kagome sputtering.

 

“What are you three thinking?”

 

Shippo whimpered. “We just were trying to help Kagome….we're sorry.”

 

Kagome's face fell. “Oh Shippo…I'm sorry…it's….Sango and those demons…I am so shook up…”

 

Miroku leaned over to Inuyasha's ear. “Told you the kitsune could sweet talk our way out of a lecture.”

 

“I heard that!”

 

“Oops.”

 

^&^&^&^

 

“Are you sure you trust her?”

 

Ryu frowned, glaring at Kagura. They had made their way to a new spot for camp, though it couldn't really be called that. They would only be staying her for a while, then head out on their mission. It was more like a meeting site.

 

Behind him, Neko was talking to Sango, letting her know their plans. Kagura had appeared a few minutes ago, and with one look at Sango, dragged him over here.

 

“Are you saying you don't trust my choice?”

 

Kagura shook her head. “I am thrilled you managed to turn the demon hunter. She is a powerful demon, and a heavy blow to Inuyasha and his friends. A very strategic move…”

 

“I do not see Sango as a strategy.” Ryu said quietly, getting annoyed. “She is now our ally. You will treat her with the same respect you show Neko or I.” he leaned in. “We are family now. I am the father, Neko the mother, and Sango is now our daughter. You, Kagura, can be an aunt. That means as long as you behave, you are with us till the end, and will share in the spoils. I will lay my life for you, as will those two women.” He growled. “But say one word to Sango that I don't like, and I will make you learn why there are demons that lose bladder control when my name is spoken.”

 

Kagura nodded. “I understand, and I….am sorry if I offended you, great Ryu..”

 

“Don't start shoveling that shit.” Ryu said with a chuckle. “I want us to be friendly to each other, kill all those in our way. That is all I expect.”

 

“friendly…” Kagura nodded. “Deal.”

 

Ryu nodded and the two returned to the clearing. Sango tail was curled up under her, and body leaning against a tree. Ryu had to admit…the human had become one good looking demon. It fit her so well he was surprised she had not been born that way.

 

Neko was always sexy, and even more so stretched out on her side, playing with a leaf. He sat down and laid his head on her legs. Kagura looked at the three of them and nodded.

 

“Then we are agreed…in 2 hours, we meet at the castle?”

 

Ryu nodded. “You will tell us if all is ready…”

 

“And then we will begin our meeting.” Neko finished. “Upon finishing, we will give you a jewel shard.”

 

Kagura nodded and took out her feather. After a moment, she was gone, ready to get everything set for them.

 

Sango looked over at Ryu and Neko and sighed. “Are you…sure I am ready?”

 

Ryu smiled. “Do you feel ready Sango?”

 

“If you don't want to do this…” Neko began.

 

“NO!” Sango replied. She paused, lowering her voice. “No…it's just…this morning I was a human believing those lies Kagome and the others told me. Now…I am a demon ready to meet with Naraku.” She lowered her head. “I'm just worried I will let you down.”

 

Neko wiggled out from under Ryu and walked over to the young demon, stroking her cheek, just as a parent would. “Do you trust us Sango?”

 

Sango nodded. “You are the one that filled my head with knowledge and purged my heart of those foolish human emotions.”

 

“Then believe us when we say…we are proud you fight with us.”

 

Sango nodded at the words. The demoness'ego had needed a boasting, and that little talk had done it.

 

The scary thing was…Neko and Ryu had been telling the truth the whole time.
