It was a stroke of fortune.
Belly full of fresh fish and clean water, things had certainly changed for the better. Her pink tongue licked the remnants of dinner from her whiskers. Wriggling up the little girl's shoulders, an instinctive purr thrummed in her chest. Kagome knew how lucky she was. It would be unkind to look a gift horse in the mouth. Or, in her case, a little girl in a checkered kimono who trailed behind one of the most powerful youkai the miko had ever seen. Yep, karma was definitely out to get her. Good or bad, she wouldn't worry about that right now. At the moment, she had an adorable child to thank for saving her. Kagome burrowed her head beneath Rin's chin, all too pleased to be in slightly familiar company.
Better than being outside...
Beyond the mouth of the cave, the storm raged. Angry growls of thunder echoed across the sky. Claws of lightning speared the earth, illuminating the night in hues of blue and gold. The kitten hissed, swiping her baby talons at the elements.
A pair of gentle hands carefully lifted her from her perch.
"Here we go!" chirped Rin, setting the feline near the fire. "Jaken-sama made a nice fire for kitty and Rin. Didn't you, Jaken-sama?"
The imp harrumphed. "Sesshoumaru-sama will not be pleased."
"You worry too much, Jaken-sama. Sesshoumaru-sama won't mind."
"Feh!!"
Lord Sesshoumaru. There was a topic she hadn't thought about yet. Images of green mist and corrosive saliva jolted her memory. The kitten gulped fearfully. Watching him in battle was a sight to behold. A small shiver chased down her spine, making her fur stand on end. She knew how much he tolerated the Panther Tribe - none, whatsoever. There was a reason why dogs and cats didn't mesh well. It did little to quell the sudden unease she felt. Kagome could only hope that he might be able to shed some light on her current predicament. Or at least point me in the direction of my friends, she sulked.
Padding closer to the fire, she curled into a ball of black fluff. Sun-kissed arms looped around her until she was buried against Rin's neck. A lullaby of hushed snoring entered her triangular ears. Heavy lids veiled her tired eyes. Surrounded by warm arms, Kagome knew she was in good hands.
Or, that's what she thought...
"Jaken."
Uh oh.
