Riquo sped towards the hot springs, extremely aggravated.
I can’t believe him! Trying to make me feel worthless like that! And I just met
him! That’s it…. I’ll show him! She skidded to a stop as she entered the
clearing. Kagome and Sango were sitting in the water talking.
“Hey
guys, sorry I’m late. Inuyasha and I had a little talk,” she grinned as she unwrapped her clothes and slid into the hot water.
Kagome
and Sango looked at her amusedly. Kagome leaned forward with mischief in her eyes,
“So Ri, what’d you do to
him?”
Riquo
snickered as Sango looked to her and slammed her fist into her palm. Kagome
laughed, “If you’re as strong as I think you are then you probably did more
damage to him than my ‘sits’ do!”
Riquo
raised an eyebrow, “’Sits?’ I’m not following you.”
Kagome
sat up a little straighter as if she’d slain Naraku all by herself.
“Well,
to make a long story short. When me and Inuyasha first met, he was rude—ahem
ruder than he is now,” she laughed as Riquo and Sango snorted, “yea I know, anyway Kaede made this necklace and told me to
say a word to calm him. I had not idea what the hell she was talking about
until I saw his cute little ears twitch and then I said sit and he fell face
first into the ground!”
Riquo
stared at her dumbly and then started to sink in the water from laughter. When
she finally caught herself, she wiped a tear away and sighed, “Wow that’s
classic. So, how long have you been passing through the well?”
“Since I was fifteen.”
“Three years?! Wow I didn’t know it was that long. Sango, how
long have you been traveling with them?”
Sango
stared at her like she was crazy, “Riquo, I just realized something. I never
introduced myself and neither did Inuyasha. How did you know our names?”
Riquo
smiled at her and tapped her head, “My demon senses. When you guys thought I
was unconscious in the hut, I was listening to all of you to make sure I wasn’t
in danger.”
Kagome
looked at her bewildered, “But how is it possible that Inuyasha didn’t sense
it?”
She
dipped lower into the water, wetting her hair and running her hands through it,
“I think Inuyasha knew that I was awake, but I think he also knew why I was
faking it so he let me get comfortable. It’s a demon thing so he probably
understood. But the only thing I found out was all of your names and how Kagome
knew me.”
The
other two nodded their heads. Then, Kagomppedpped up and grabbed her yellow
backpack, pulling out soaps and shampoos. Seeing this, Sango immediately
reached over and grabbed a few select items. Kagome then turned to Riquo,
holding out a jar with orange liquid in it. Riquo’s eyes widened as she
snatched the jar from her examining the contents, “Is….is this
what I think it is?”
“Yep,
I went back home to get a few things I thought you might like. I figured you
haven't gone back to the future (A/N: haha sorry I had to put that in there!) in a while so I
brought it back with me, as well as some other stuff you used to use,” she
smiled as Riquo’s eyes started to tear up. Riquo jumped up and hugged the girl.
“Thank
you! I’ve missed using this so much. Hell, I’ve missed you! We had some great
times!” she laughed as they reminisced on old times. Sango coughed gently and
then pointed to the jar when she had their attention.
“What
is that? It doesn’t look like anything I’ve ever seen Kagome bring back
before.”
“This
is a special mixture Kagome’s mom used to make for me. You see, demons don’t
like to wash themselves with anything that might cover up their natural scent.
My scent is mangos and nighttime,” she held up her hand at Sango’s questioning
look, “take a sniff around you. Nighttime has a specific scent compared to
daytime, right? Well, her mom would smash up mangos and then leave the mixture
outside at night so it could soak up that scent. And amazingly enough it
matches my scent perfectly and intensifies it. And I’ve had to make my own ever
since I left.”
Sango
looked at her for awhile and then laughed, “You demons will never cease to
amaze me.”
Riquo
smiled and flicked her tail around in the air making them all giggle. They
proceeded to wash their hair and bodies silently until curiosity got the best
of Riquo.
“Hey
Kagome, I heard Inuyasha say something about ‘shard hunting?’ Does he mean the
Sacred Jewel of Four Souls?”
Kagome
nodded, “Yea, that’s a long story too but—“
“Oh
no, I know about all that,” she chuckled to herself, “word gets around fast
among us demons. I know what happened to the shard. What I don’t get is why
Inuyasha is making you gather the shards with him. Is he doing it to make you
feel bad or something?”
Sango
laughed, “It sure as hell seems like it the way he acts towards her.”
Kagome
nodded, “Yea, but actually I can see the jewel fragments so he has me find them
and then he retrieves them.”
Riquo
nearly slipped under the water, “So he’s just using you!! No
way, Kagome, I won’t have any of THAT going on!!” she started to rise up
out of the water until both Sango and Kagome tugged on her arms.
“No,
no, I’m responsible for the jewel being broken so I felt it only proper for me
to put them back together again. Besides, you know what happens when bad demons
get a hold of them.”
“Yea,
ok. But from the looks of it he doesn’t treat you right, so that has to change
or else I’ll drop kick his ass again.”
Kagome
and Sango laughed as Riquo let out a long, low growl. They sank back into the
water and finished washing themselves. Then curiosity tried to kill the cat
again as Riquo piped up with another question.
“So,
Sango, what did you used to do before you joined this little shard-hunting
group?”
“Um,
well I was part of a demon exterminator village,” she grimaced as she saw
Riquo’s eyes widen in concern, mostly for herself.
“No,
wey exy exterminated demons that were reported to us as dangerous. We were
pretty successful until….”
Riquo
looked at her, noticing the pain in her eyes. She sniffed the air, confirming
that Sango’s scent had definitely changed to one of deep pain.
“You
don’t have to tell me, Sango. I understand that you’ve had some pain in your
life, and it’s none of my business.”
Sango
sighed and closed her eyes as Kagome patted her shoulder, trying to give some
consolation. Then she looked up and shook her head, “No, you deserve to know
about it.”
Then
Kagome turned to her and said, “In fact, you need to know about us all if
you’re going to be traveling with us,” she smiled as Riquo smiled sheepishly in
gratitude.
And
so they told her everything. About Miroku’s ancestors cursed hand and how
Naraku tricked them as well. And about Sango’s entire village being slaughtered
and her brother being used as a puppet, because of Naraku. But at the mention
of Inuyasha and Kikyo deceiving each other, Riquo let out a vicious snarl,
baring her teeth and scaring Sango and Kagome speechless.
“Ri, what’s wrong? Why are you so mad?”
“You
said Kikyo right? The undead priestess walking around
stealing dead women’s souls?”
Kagome
nodded, unsure of whether she should have kept her mouth shut on the issue.
“I
hate her. She’s a thief and a murderer and she needs to burn in hell!!!”
Kagome
glanced at Sango and nodded for her to say something instead, “How do you know
of Kikyo? Why do you hate her so much?”
Riquo
hissed, “After Naraku murdered my clan, Kikyo came by with her soul serpents,
stealing all the female souls of my friends and family. The last one she took
was my mother’s. She had the soul snatchers hang onto it until she found me,
and then made me watch her absorb it,” she wiped away her black tears and
sighed, “I swore on my clan’s grave that I would send her to hell.”
Kagome
winced at that, “Um, Ri, honey, there’s a problem
with that. For one, Inuyasha still loves Kikyo and would flip at the thought,
and…I’m her reincarnation. She goes, I go…”
Riquo
snorted, “First of all babe, Inuyasha will have to get over it. This bitch has
been nothing but trouble to him. Besides from what she’s told me during all of
our encounters, she ASKED Naraku to kill Inuyasha fifty years ago so he could
get the jewel. But he went a little overboard on their deal and killed her too.
Though he still didn’t get the jewel.”
Kagome
and Sango gasped at this, “But, how…why would she still work with him if he
killed her!?!?”
“She
is one twisted chick. Anyway, second of all, yes you are her reincarnation, but
a reincarnation is a continuation of someone else’s life. And since she’s
walking around with part of YOUR soul, she’s considered undead. But if she
died…again, you’d gain all of your priestess powers. But if she were to
actually live again, with a body and all of her soul, then you would die. And
believe me that whore has lived her life and I’m here to make sure she doesn’t
live another one.”
The
two girls gawked at her. She was serious. She absolutely did not care how
attached Inuyasha was to Kikyo or vice versa. She wanted her to burn in hell.
Sango
glanced between Kagome and Riquo, “Well, we should be heading back the guys
are—“
Riquo
suddenly jumped up growling and sniffed the air. Sango glared at her and then
realized what she was doing. She grabbed Hiraikotsu as Kagome loaded up with
rocks.
“They’re
spying on us again! Damn they’re persistent!”
Riquo
looked down at them and giggled, “No, it’s not that. But we do have a visi
bac
back at the village.”
Kagome
looked around the forest, wishing for the entire world she had senses that
good, “Who?”
“Kouga,”
Riquo didn’t miss the look of delight that quickly flashed across Kagome’s face
before she quickly put a frown on her face and groaned, “Inuyasha’s going to
try and kill him again. We should get back to the village. You see, they don’t
get along because Kouga wants me to be his woman,” she snickered and smiled to
herself. If only…..
Riquo
smiled, “Alright, let’s go,” she got out of the hot spring and squeezed the
water out of her hair. Then she twisted herself into a tornado, shocking Kagome
and Sango and knocking them into the water. Both of them came up sputtering
water and were about to pitch a fit until they saw her. She was standing there
completely dressed.
Kagome’s
jaw dropped, “Riquo, don’t tell me that that little tornado thing clothed you.”
Riquo
turned around with a big smile on her face, “Yep! That’s a little trick I
learned a while back. Impressed?”
Kagome and Sango sweat-dropped.
“Eh
heh, I’ll take that as a no.”
Riquo
held out a hand to each of them and pulled out of the water. After they got
dressed they started walking back to the village. Riquo sensed something
approaching at a fast rate and smiled to herself. This ought to be interesting.
Kagome
was humming to herself when suddenly a gust of wind hit her face and someone
snatched her hands up and clutched them in their hands. Her head shot up and
she allowed herself a small smile, “Hey Kouga, how are you?”
