Chapter Four: Getting Them Home and

Weird smells

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kagome and the children stood in awkward silence as the sun set. They waited for her to do something. Her ears twitched, but they only heard harsh breathing.

 

Shippo being the youngest and only demon stood up slowly and walked towards her. Kagome tensed up and flatten her ears as he came closer. Her muscles twitched in suspense. She looked down at him to look him in the eye, but she noticed his focus was elsewhere. She followed his focus to find that it was on her tail, and she almost fell over.

 

When Shippo was in arm length of her tail he grabbed it gently and began to stroke it.

 

“It soft,” He whispered as if in a daze “Just like my mother's tail was.” He hugged her tail tightly and slowly went to sleep.

 

Kikyo made a move to go get him, but Sango stopped her. Kagome let her maternal instincts take over as she wrapped her tail around him as he slept.

 

“Kaka-chan,” asked Miroku “Is this your true form?”

 

Kagome took a step towards him, ignoring his question. When he did not flinch or move backwards, she took another step towards him and another until she was right in front of him. She then squatted down to his height.

 

“Why are you not afraid of me?” she asked with her head tilted to the side in a dog like manner.

 

“Why would I be when you have risked your life for us?” Miroku replied with his head tilted to the side also, staring her right in the eye.

 

Kagome shrugged her shoulders and continued to stare back at him, pondering why he never showed any fear in his eyes. When she could not find an answer to her ponderings, she sighed and turned her head to look at the other children.

 

She was shocked to see there was no look of disgust on any of any sorts on their faces, but looks of shock and fascination.

 

Kikyo stepped forward “Kaka-chan you've protected, helped us so why would we turn our backs on you now?”

 

Kagome, although touched, would not let it show. Standing up slowly she scanned her eyes over the pups making sure none of them were missing. When she was satisfied with the count, she sighed softly and then looked at the nighttime sky.

 

“Pups, we have a long day tomorrow, ” Kagome said softly “ You're going to need to rest up, because tomorrow I will be taking the children they live in the Sunshine Village home.”

 

“But Kaka-chan, where will we go?” Sango asked

 

Kagome smiled at Sango “Why you'll will be staying here until I Take you home”

 

Kikyo looked frighten “But Kaka-chan what if something happens to us”

 

“Nothing will happen Kikyo, even with that small amount of spiritual energy I know you felt as if someone or something was watching you. Am I correct?”

 

Kikyo with her eyes widened, looked at Kagome in surprise

 

“Wait Kagome-sama, you mean you mean to tell us someone or something was watching us?”

 

Kagome nodded “Yes they were also the ones who started the fire”

 

Kikyo, Sango, and Miroku gazed at her in confusion. Shippo slept silently though all this.

 

“W-What was it,” stuttered a girl named Eri, whom Kagome met a while ago.

 

“ My dear, it is not a what was it,” Kagome said slyly “ But a what are they and to answer your question they are my familiars”

 

“Familiars?” Sango and Kikyo said in confusion

 

“Yes” She replied, and than let out a loud whistle

 

At her whistle four figures came out and went by her side.

“Allow me to introduce Kialia, Shori, Giki, and Nikia” Kagome stated while pointing to each of them as she said their names.

 

Kialia a huge cream-colored cat demon, had black streaks, red eyes, and long saber lion like teeth. Two tails and fire surrounding her paws.

 

Giki a huge black colored cat demon, with cream streaks, red eyes, long saber lion like teeth. He also had two tails and fire and surrounding his paws.

 

Shori huge silver colored dog demon, with blue highlights, blue eyes, long saber lion like teeth as well. On contrary to the others, he had blue fire surrounding his paws.

 

Nikia a huge, black colored dog demon, with violet highlights, violet eyes, long saber lion like teeth, and violet fire surrounding her paws.

 

Nikia growled when Shori got too close to her, and Kialia looked at Kagome funny when she saw Shippo wrapped in her tail.

 

Kagome chuckled.

 

“They're demons” Miroku stated rather than asking.

 

“Yes, they are, but rather trustworthy ones. Guys stop, trying to scare them and transform” Kagome scolded

 

They gave her the “eyes”

 

“That doesn't work on me and you know it, now transform” Kagome ordered

 

The small group pouted softly before a fire of their color enveloped them. After the fire calmed down, two puppies and two kittens are what remained.

 

The children squealed and ran towards them, and Kagome and her familiars flatten their ears. Shippo woke up at the sound, and looked around seeing the four familiars. A look of joy crossed his face, as he wiggled himself free of Kagome's tail to go to them.

 

The familiars were covered with the children pulling on them and petting them. When Kagome was sure they had enough, she commanded the children to get off.

 

The children did so, but sulked.

 

“Now pups, you need to bathe and rest. There is a small hot spring behind each hut. The girls will be in the first hut, the boys in the second hut, and myself in the third hut. Shori and Giki will be in the boys hut, and Kialia, and Nikia will be in the girls. If anything happens they will notify me. Please be careful. There is food and water in each hut if your are thirsty or hungry.”

 

When each child was in a hut, Kagome turned to her familiars.

 

“You guys have you smelt anything weird lately?” Kagome asked quizzically

 

Her familiars looked at her and smirked. `What kind of weird smells?'

 

Not noticing the looks on familiars faces she continued talking

 

“I don't know there are a lot of scents floating around”

 

`It does't smell familiar to you' they asked staring at her

 

Kagome continued thinking, until she suddenly froze and looked at them in horror. Her eye twitched.

 

“ Its mating season isn't it,” She said in disgust

 

They started to snicker.

 

“DAMINNNNNNNNNNNTTTTTT” could be heard throughout the woods, for miles, and more.
