Chapter 6

I woke up with every one still asleep. And I realized that Koga had scooted closer to me in his sleep. As soon as I moved InuYasha woke up and looked around nervously.

"What's the matter InuYasha?" I asked him, yawning.

"I was just making sure you didn't slaughter everyone in their sleep." He stated stretching.

"Why you…" I hissed and he tensed. "Unless you want to be bitten again, then I suggest you shut up." I growled at him. He scowled at me but he kept his mouth shut.

"Amaya?" I heard Koga yawn.

"Still here." I said, turning away from InuYasha. Then I saw Kagome blink her eyes open. I smiled at her. She returned the smile the sat up. Shippo, who had been lying on Kagome's stomach, rolled off onto the floor. Sango and Miroku woke, looked at me, and then sat up. I folded up my blanket and put the blanket and pillow in my bag. I smiled evilly at InuYasha, showing my fangs. He flinched. I couldn't help but laugh.

"What's so funny Amaya?" Koga asked, standing up.

"Oh nothing…just certain half demon…" I snickered again. Kagome looked at me very oddly.

"I see we have found another person InuYasha can't get along with!" She laughed. Koga just looked betrayed. Why would he feel betrayed by me talking with InuYasha?

"Well, we should go tell Kaede goodbye." Miroku said, standing up.

"Why? Where are we going?" I asked.

"I guess we should tell you then." Kagome said. She explained everything about the Shikon no tama, Naraku, and everything else that happened. In truth, it was a long conversation. After about an hour she finally finished her explanation.

"Alright then!" I said standing up. "If that's the case, we haven't a moment to lose!" I said, smiling. Koga smiled too.

"So I'm guessing that you are coming too Koga?" Kagome asked smiling. Koga stood up, nodding his head. "Okay then! Let's go talk to Kaede then." She said, everybody standing up and heading for the door. When I stepped outside, a wave of cool air hit me, and I could smell everything! The slight smell of manure came from the stables, not far from where we were. I could smell rice and tea boiling in a hut. I could smell the unique scents of everyone in the village, and even beyond that. It almost knocked me over, this intense sense of smell.

"Whoa…" I said, trying to steady my self.

"Amaya? What's the matter?" Koga asked as he kept me from falling. I could hear everything too. I could hear the breathing of the horses, and the plows digging in the earth. I could hear people whispering in their huts about 'the new strange people traveling with lady Kagome'.

"I'm fine…I think…" I said, finally able to stand strait.

"I think she's over whelmed by the demon senses flea-bag." InuYasha said, looking at me. I nodded my head.

"Here." Koga said as I climbed on his back. "I can carry you until you get used to the senses."

"Thanks…" I said as I leaned my head on his shoulder. They started walking to a hut, and an old woman in priestess clothing walked out.

"Are ye leaving already?" She asked.

"Yes we are." Sango said. Kaede looked at me with a curios expression.

"And who be this young one?" She asked.

"My name is Amaya." I said rolling my head slightly to the side.

"Ye have wolf ears and a wolf tail! Be ye a demon?" She asked.

"Yes. I am a wolf demon." I said, sighing. Koga looked at me from the corner of his eye. I probably looked like I was going to throw up.

"Are you sure you're okay?" He asked, worry apparent in his tone.

"Yeah I'll be fine." I said.

"What be wrong with ye child?" She asked, slowly walking up to us. She looked scared of me. Am I that scary? I thought as she slowly advanced towards us.

"It's the demon senses. They are strong for her. She isn't handling it well." Koga said as he peeked at me again out of the corner of his eye.

"Ugh…" I said as I blinked.

"She is new to the whole demon thing." Kagome said, looking at me worriedly.

"I'm just wondering why they didn't bother her yesterday." Miroku said.

"They probably just appeared today." Sango said. InuYasha looked ever so happy that I couldn't even stand. I thought about attacking him, but the thought of trying to stand on my own only made my stomach churn. Kaede put her hand to my forehead.

"Well ye do not have a fever child. It shall pass." She stated, looking at my eyes. I felt a pure aura at her touch. That's right…Kagome said she is also a priestess.

"We should get going." Shippo said, leaping onto Kagome's shoulder.

"You're right. Good bye for now lady Kaede." Sango said, smiling at the old woman. Kaede returned the smile. We started to walk down a dirt path.

"Feh! We wasted too much time!" InuYasha said.

"Oh don't even start! We haven't even got a mile away from the village yet!" Kagome sighed. InuYasha scoffed, and I felt like biting him again.

~.~.~An hour later~.~.~

"I think I can walk now." I said. He must have been tired from carrying me for so long. But the odd thing was he didn't look tired one bit.

"You sure?" He asked.

"Yeah. I can probably walk from here. I think I'm used to the senses by now." I said sighing.

"Alright." He said as I got off. I smelled the air ever so slightly and stretched. I still felt odd, but I could pretty much live with it for now. I hadn't realized that when I passed through the well, my cloths had changed. I looked down and I was wearing really, really, short shorts! I could feel a slight blush on my cheeks as I realized what I was wearing. I looked at my shirt. It was a very pretty blue color. I was barefoot, and this fact did not bother me one bit. I like being barefoot. I took me a minute to realize that everyone was way ahead of me, except Koga. (Of course)

"What's wrong Amaya?" He asked.

"Oh nothing."

"Alright then, let's get going!" He said as he smiled. I couldn't help but return a warm smile. We caught up with the rest of the gang and of course InuYasha was complaining.

~.~.~Night time~.~.~

We were all sitting near a fire which Shippo had lit with his fox fire.

"I'm surprised we weren't attacked." InuYasha said.

"Why? Were you expecting us to be attacked?" I said a fake hiss in my voice. It is so much fun to mess with his head! He glared at me.

"No I was not!" He growled. I rolled over in laughter. I could feel Koga staring at me as I tried to control the laughing. I was finally able to sit up and stop for a minute until I saw InuYasha's dumbfounded face. I rolled over in laughter (again) but this time Kagome was laughing too.

"You people are so much better than" more laughs, "the people where I live!" I was finally able to stop laughing along with Kagome and sit up.

"Wait a minute…" I said as I sniffed the air. Just then Koga, Shippo, and InuYasha froze. "What is that strange scent?" I asked.

"A demon!" InuYasha growled as he stood up, his hand on the handle of his sword. I could feel my tail twitch. Just then a giant demon stepped out of the trees. It had bright red skin and was only wearing a large cloth. He had two horns, each on different sides of its head. Its hair was blue and sticking out every where. A slight pain shot through my hands as my claws came out. I could feel my jaw ache with wanting to kill the demon. I stood up as InuYasha pulled out his sword.

"Let me try to handle this one InuYasha. I want to test my strength." I said glaring at the ugly demon. Just then the ugly creature started running at us.

"What? No!" InuYasha said as I lunged at the demon.

"Amaya! Don't!" I heard Koga yell. Koga's claws just barely grazed my neck, where he was going to grab my shirt before I could go after the demon. I ran forward before he could grab me. I lunged at the demon and he let out a roar. The demon was easily 9 feet tall. I jumped up and bit his neck as I spun around behind him. I saw Koga was ready to spring at the demon, Sango had her Haraikotsu ready to throw, Shippo had his smashing top ready for firing, and InuYasha and Kirara were looking at me with dumbfounded expressions. I bit the other side of the demon's neck and he roared again. I did a back flip off his back and landed on my feet on the ground below. I glared up at the ugly beast as he grabbed at his neck, screaming. I flew upwards and ripped his head off with my razor-sharp claws. The body fell backwards along with the head, into the tree again. I turned around smiling and the gang was looking at me with their mouth open wide.

"What? Did I do something wrong?" I asked.

"How on earth did you do that? You shouldn't have been able to take down a full grown troll by your self!" Sango said.

"Um…I'm sorry?" I shrugged.

"We should probably get some sleep." Koga said as he sat back down and yawned.

"Yeah… alright." I decided not to use the blanket and pillow tonight. I leaned up against a tree.

"Here." Koga said as he put his arm around me.

"Thanks." I yawned. Well this going to be a very odd trip.
