Chapter 4: Mamma?

‘Mama? Where are you? What’s happening? Who are these humans? Why are they trying to hurt us? Daddy had been killed earlier that week by some lightning youkai and now my mama said she smelt them again out near where we were playing
“Well look here it’s the fox brats and the bitch. What’s this? A young fox youkai…with a bunch of normal whelps? Well we’ll just have to fix that now won’t we brother?
“Oh indeed brother. I think they need to learn a lesson about adopting random youkai after they feel the wrath of the thunder brothers and the Acloneus gang!”
“Mama?” one of my brothers whimpers, “Who are the bad men? Why they have sticks?” all we heard from her was her barking madly at us to run and the sick sound of wood hitting flesh. One of the bad men kicked my side sending me flying into the bushes. I could still hear the whimpers and moans of my family getting beaten. My mama said to run so I ran…I ran straight into another human but this one had funny bumps on its chest.
“Oh you poor thing, what happened to you?” its voice was a lot nicer than the ones over there. I couldn’t think straight…mama…brothers…sisters where are you? Help…me…I can’t remember what happened after that anything. But I’m not on the grass any more. I’m on a cloud…am I dead? Mama said that all good kits go to a place called nirvana…but I didn’t think that it would hurt so much. Maybe…just maybe I’m not dead…but what happened to my mamma and my brothers and sisters. Who’s talking? It’s the funny chested human from that day? What am I doing with it?
“Look he’s waking up”
“Give him some air people back off!”
“Feh! Why should I?”
“Because I said so that’s why”
“Mama?” my voice was cracked and whispered. I cracked open one of my eyes only to be met with the glare of a small sun in a strange invisible container.

OoooooooooooooooooO

As soon as the fox kit opened his eyes he started to thrash around yelling as loud as he could, “Mama! Brothers! Sisters! Where are you! Help!”
Kagome couldn’t stand to see his pain anymore so she picked him up softly and rushed outside saying, “I’ll be right back!” once outside she hugged him close and slowed down, now walking to get to his former home. He had stopped struggling as soon as she had picked him up, her scent soothing his tender nerves. She started humming a soft song on her way to the little pond where she first saw him, when a soft little voice piped up.
“Who are you?” the fox kit staring up at her with confusion clearly written in his childish face. “Where’s mama?” she looked down at the precious little bundle in her arms, not sure how she could tell him.
“Your mama is…in a better place now.” At the crest fallen look on his face she almost burst into tears. ”My name is Kagome, what’s yours little one?” smiling as his face perked up and he pointed to himself
“I’m Shippou! I am…” he looked at his chubby little fingers and started to count, “I’m…ah…seven! I’m seven seasons old, and I am a fox youkai, and I live with my mama and my…” once again he looked at his fingers counting carefully. ”Um…this many brothers and sisters.” As he held up his five fingers Kagome felt her heart breaking for the little kit
“Well Shippou I have some…bad news…I—“ she was interrupted by an arrow coming out of the bushes to collide with the tree right next to her. She put Shippou on her shoulder and whispered, “Climb onto my back and hang on!”
“Why?” a curious child asked from his perch on her shoulder.
Her answer was cut off as a voice yelled out from the bushes. “YOU FOOL! DOES THAT LOOK LIKE A DEER?” a furious youkai came out of the bushes followed by a much younger human walking cautiously. The little human was a girl nonetheless. She looked no older than Shippou. The youkai was a toad youkai and an ugly one at that. Well, uglier than normal toad youkai. Kagome noticed that the girl had a child’s bow in one hand and a quiver on her back.
“No lord Jaken, that looks like a pretty lady!” the little girl smiled a smile so big it looked like it swallowed her face, “Hi pretty lady! Rin’s name is Rin! What’s yours? And who’s that?” she said pointing to Shippou who had climbed down Kagome’s shoulders and was now hiding behind her legs.
“Hello Rin! My name is Kagome! And this is Shippou the fox youkai” she said giving him a small push forwards towards Rin. “Go say hi Shippou!”
When Rin saw his fluffy tail and pointed ears she squealed and ran to go pet his tail. “He has a tail like lord Sesshomaru!” she giggled happily and hugged it.
“Rin you stupid girl! We are here to get that elf priestess, ah…Kagome I think was her name.” He had obviously not been listening to them at all. He huffed and scowled at Kagome. “Stop that you will spoil her! Anyway human wench can you tell us where we can find the village with a girl named Kagome?”
“Well if you had been listening instead of being grumpy you would have figured out that my name is Kagome but I am not an elf or a priestess. As you can see from the non pointy ears and the non black hair and blue eyes.” She said pointing at the rumpled (such a funny word! Rumpled…Heh back to the story!) toad, then to her face with blond hair and green eyes.
He was about to respond when his staff with two heads on it stared to come to life, one of the mouths glowing, and pointing to Kagome. It was the face of an old man that was pointing to her. Jaken jumped and then peered at her grabbing the bottom of her tunic and tugging it so she stumbled to look her in the eye. He humphed and then pulled out a slender chain with what looked like a small crescent moon on it. “Wench try this on!”
Kagome looked at him then stood dusting off her now dirty breeches and hissed at him “If you wish for me to do anything you will treat me with respect,” and now crouching back down on her toes, looked him in the eye and said, “and my name is not wench it’s Kagome, Ka-go-me!”
Jaken gave a little squeak as Rin and Shippou, forgotten until now, yanked the necklace out of Jaken’s hands and looked up at Kagome with big eyes. “Please, Kagome pretty please!” they clasped their hands over their hearts and looked at her with big puppy eyes. ‘Hah! We got her now!’ they thought triumphantly as Kagome struggled to resist them, but eventually gave in to their pleading looks.
“Ah…alright I’ll try it on. Just stop that please!” The two children smiled at her and handed her the necklace. She peered at it and was surprised at the weight. ‘ It must be pure silver! And there’s a small sapphire in the bottom tip. Wait what’s that? It looks like some strange writing…no more like runes…odd’ she peered at it for a moment more then slipped it over her head


OoooooooooooooooooO

Back in the village, everyone was getting restless for Kagome to return with the fox kit, but they knew that she could handle herself, but that still didn’t help their worries.
“Oi, letch” Inuyasha poked Miroku who was subtly trying to look down Sango’s shirt as she was bent over to pick up some of the blankets that the kit had kicked off.
“I resent that.”
“Yea and I’m pretty sure she resents you looking down her shirt.”
At that Sango stood up and walked out of the room.
“See you scared her off!”
“Feh, I did not! That was you monk”
“Imp—“ he was interrupted by Sango coming back with an enormous boomerang and thumping Miroku on the head with it. Inuyasha just stared at his now unconscious friend chuckling. All of a sudden the chest he was sitting on started to shake and something rattled inside.
Kagome’s mom whispered something so quiet no one heard it but Inuyasha being the hanyou he was heard it loud and clear.
‘it is time.’
