InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ The wilderness of One's Heart ❯ Chapter 6

Chapter Six: Why Me?

 

 

 

 

 

 

The children from the Tekai Village watched Kagome fight a wolf demon in shocked from the safety of their hiding place Kagome had put them.

 

The fight had been going on for a few hours it seemed with Kagome throwing a punch at the wolf demon for a comment he made, and him trying to grab her in a submissive hold.

 

The children were tired, but they knew that they couldn't and shouldn't say a thing less they let the demon know they were there, which Kagome warned that would not be good.

 

~Flashback~

 

 

Kagome had just turned back into her human form and had let the children watch as she transformed.

 

After her transformation a young girl about 3'4 with brown hair and eyes wearing a blue kimono came up to her.

 

“Kagome-chan,” asked Eri a young village girl who had come to admire Kagome. “Why did you change back to your human form?”

 

Kagome looked down at the child while she fixed her mask “Pup. While you have accepted my demon being your parents might not be as understanding as you have been.”

 

Eri looked at Kagome with shame, but Kagome patted her head.

 

“It is not your fault pup, besides I need to keep my demon and human being separated as a means of security for myself and my familiars. Don't think your parents are the reason I must do this.”

 

Eri smiled, though looking at her eyes you could tell she was not truly fully convinced

 

“Now pups you are the third group of pups to go home, but I must warn you of the dangers that have been faced with the first two. With the Sunshine and the Hiroshi Village we faced wolves and a wolf demon named Kouga. This wolf means no danger to me, but if he were to discover that you traveled with me than he would use you as a means to get to me. If I smell his scent I will tell you to hide. Do Not Question Me and Do Not Make a Sound When He is Near less you make it dangerous for yourself and I. Am I clear.”

 

The children although a little frightened nodded their heads in agreement

 

 

~End of Flashback~

 

 

 

Which leads us to the fight at hand where Kagome had changed back into her demon form.

 

“Queen of shadows I will track you down, no matter where you go until you agree to be my mate” Kouga growled as he once again tried to put Kagome in a head lock

 

Kagome kicked him and jumped back.

 

“Bastard, you only find me when I forget to cover my scent. Or did you forget your so called nose couldn't lead you to the ass of a horse”

 

 

Kouga snarled his eyes glowing red and leap forward.

 

Kagome expecting this blasted him back with a dose of her miko powers sending the demon unconscious.

 

When Kagome was sure he was out cold she transformed back into her human form fixing her face mask.

 

“ I will really need to find that herb or someone is truly going to find out what I truly am”

 

For you see Kagome was a demon-miko not a hanyou. She had a miko form which she also called her human form. Than she had her demon form which was an elemental dog demon. The children didn't truly know what she was. They thought she was a hanyou, but that was not the case. She was a rare bred which was said to have died out but that not true either. There were quite a few, maybe not hundreds but a few. Kagome was the only demon -miko with powers like she had, probably the most powerful of them all, but she wouldn't admit that. She has two forms her human miko form and her demon though in both forms she hides her scent and face. So she could travel among human and demons alike without them knowing what she truly looked like. As far as they were concerned she could be a fox demon using illusion tricks on them.

 

 

Kagome walked to where the children. “Come on pups its only a little after noon we should make it to you village by the evening if we hurry.” It takes seven days to take each village of children back to their homes, and today was the seventh day. Kouga just happened to throw them off a few hours.

 

The children delighted at the thought of being with their family again took off after Kagome at a slight jog.

 

 

It was late in the evening when they finally reached the village. The children were exhausted, but Kagome was still alert in her human form.

 

All the people in the village were asleep, but Kagome being the demon that she is decided to wake the village and shock the children at the same time.

 

Taking a small horn from her pouch she blew into it and a loud animalistic roar came from it.

 

The children jumped and all the village huts came to life filled with fright. Kagome although she tried not to, a small snicker escaped between her rose colored lips.

 

The men of the village came out with pitchforks only to stop when they saw Kagome and the children.

 

Their eyes still dazed with sleep took in Kagome's appearance and than thought of the loudness of the roar.

 

Kagome was turning red in the face at looks of confusion of the men's face. She was about to burst when Eri ran from behind her.

 

“Daddy!!!!” Eri screamed

 

A man who was in the front looked down at her and tears filled his eyes

 

“Eri, Oh my sweet Child” He said when she was in his arms

 

The men of the village looked behind Kagome to see nine more children run forward into the arms of their respected parent.

 

The leader of raid walked up to Kagome after everyone had settled down.

 

“Thank you, for returning them to us” he said kindly

 

Kagome smiled softly and turned to walk away

 

“Wait K-” Eri started, but stopped herself. Kagome had to them not to say her true name around their parents.

 

Eri's father sensing that Eri wanted to say good-bye spoke up

 

“Miss, at least let us repay you, before you go your way.”

 

Kagome was about to disagree when a sudden scent hit her nose.
