The Midnight Meeting

“from what I have heard, Kagura has gone to see Koga.” Inuyasha said. “IF we find a way to track her…”

“And how do you know she isn't done yet and left?” Sesshomaru asked. “Or that this Koga hasn't agreed to their terms?”

“Koga would never agree to aid demons.” Kagome said.

Jaken frowned. “No one asked you.”

“Watch it toad boy.” Inuyasha growled. He turned back to Sesshomaru and looked at a map his older brother had brought. “Any way we can figure out where they are all headed?”

Miroku ran his finger along the map. “Well, this is where you were when you were attack, and the direction Ryu flew from with Kirara. And this…” he looked at Sesshomaru. “Is the direction Neko flew?” The demon nodded. “Then they must be meeting somewhere in this triangle.”

“No good.” Jaken said. “What if they didn't fly straight?”

“For once Jaken has a good point. They could turn or shift. That means we have no way of finding them.”

“What about tracking their jewels?” Inuyasha said.

Kagome looked at him, her eyes wide. “Of course! If the four of them have jewels…”

“It could be five.” Sesshomaru said. “I wouldn't be surprised if Kagura has one now.”

“…then it should be easy to find them. Even if they aren't all together, we can find them!”

“Then it is settled.” The demon lord said. “Tomorrow we hunt.”

Inuyasha frowned and stood up. “What, you too hurt to go? Coem on, let'sget going!” He smiled as his brother, Sesshomaru standing up and heading out with him.

“Lord Sesshomaru-sama!”

Sesshomaru paused, looking at Rin. The girl yawned and watched him. “Are we leaving?”

The demon lord paused, debating in his mind, and then shook his head. “We can't leave the humans unguarded at night Inuyasha…if the demon's attack…”

Inuyasha frowned, but relented. He wasn't in the mood to get into a fight. “Fine. In the morning.” He paused as Kagome headed out of the hut. “Where are you going?”

“To find Shippo.”

“He'll be fine!” Inuyasha shouted. “He'll come back in the morning, and you two will make up and I will get pissed.”

Kagome sighed and nodded. “I…guess he was upset. He must just need some time alone…I hope he's ok.”

Shippo whimpered as he pulled his clothing tighter around his body. He sniffed, wiping his nose on his sleeve.

I was just trying to do what Kaede said. Kagome didn't need to yell at me. I didn't know they were hurt, and that mean brother of Inuyasha was scaring me! He tried to calm himself. They must really be mad at me…they haven't even come to find me.

What…what if they are too busy to find me? Sango is a demon…and they don't seem to like that. But…I'm a demon. Does that mean they don't like me? Is kagome just nice to me because she feels sorry for me?

Shippo grunted, his stomach rumbling. He looked around the dark woods, seeing nothing good to eat. He sniffed, trying to smll if there was something yummy to munch on…but there was nothing.

Now they're going to leave me here to starve to death! While they are eating ramen and candy and cookies and chips….chips! He moaned. So Hungry!

“Shippo!”

The little fox demon looked around. I thought I heard someone…

“Shippo!”

Now I know someone is calling me. He got up, dusting off his pants and looking around. After spending a minute making sure he wasn't missing someone, he sat back down.

“I am going crazy.”

“No, you're not.” The voice said. “Come here…I have fish.”

“Fish!” Shippo said, his stomach now roaring in protest. He took a few steps forward and froze. “Who's there?”

Slowly, a woman appeared from behind a tree. She smiled, her long hair billow in the wind. As she got closer…Shippo saw she hadfish in hand…and a snake's tail.

”Sango!” He said, backing away. “Please don't eat me!”

“Eat you Shippo?” Sango asked, lowering her body closer. “I am not going to eat you! I have brought you food. Why are you so scared?”

“You have fangs!” He said.

“So do you.”

Shippo paused at this. “But your human…well…you were…”

“Is it bad that I am a demon?” She asked.

“Kagome says it's bad.”

“So that makes it bad? Where is Kagome?”

“She…told me to be quiet…” Shippo blinked. “She was mean to me!” He whispered.

“Me too. It's because she's human. She…doesn't understand us demons.” Sango held out a fish. “Want some? It's good.” Shippo sniffed it, and after a moment, took a huge bite. “See? I am not bad at all. It's just…Kagome is confused. I mean, she hates demons, yet Inuyasha wants to be a full blooded one.”

“…ya!” Shippo said, munching on the food. “That is weird.” He looked at her. “Sango…is it weird…now that your…”

Sango grinned. “Shippo, it is the greatest thing ever! I have never felt so free!” She rose to her full height, towering over the kitsune. “I am not afraid of anything. Ryu and Neko respect me! They helped me get Kirara back.” She leaned in. “Would you like to meet them?”

Shippo's eyes grew wide. “I don't know…”

“I promise, I will be with you all the way…I'm your friend, aren't I?” Shippo nodded. “Then trust me…if you don't like it, you can go. But if you do…we can make thing a million times better.”
