Origin Of The Species: New blood
*episode 3*

After looking at Kyoubou’s wounds, Kagome decides to return home for medicines. As little as she knows about healing demons, she knows enough to be able to put together a list of some things she should have. Not to mention that she should restock anyway; after Kohaku’s injuries. Sango, Inuyasha, Shippo, Tattoimaru, and Mushin all come to see her off. The young human says, “Miss Kagome, will your medicines really help him?” Kagome nods, “You bet. Inuyasha, please don’t pick on Shippo; and Sango, thanks for lending me Kirara.” That said, she climbs onto Kirara’s back and the two soar off. Tattoimaru is in shock. He turns to his new friend, “She can fly?!?” Shippo says, “Who, Kirara? Of course. Can’t Kyoubou?” Sango says, “Shippo, he may be too badly injured to fly.” The foxling says, “Oh.” Sango goes inside to check on her brother and Inuyasha follows. “Just a minute Sango,” he says, “something I got’a ask you.” She turns to face him. He begins, clearly uncomfortable, “Look, you know Kagome pretty well. You see, I’ve been trying to figure out what she meant.” Sango says, “Go on.” He says, “Before she left, she asked me to talk to that kid.” “Tattoimaru?” she asks. Inuyasha says, “Ya, I been trying to figure out what she meant.” Sango says, “She probably just wanted you to be there for him the way you are for our brothers. She knows you’re good with kids, and he’s been through a lot.” The half-demon mutters something. Sango asks, “What did you says?” He looks away. Under her persistent gaze, he says, “Kagome’s got quite a litter going: Shippo, Sota, Kohaku, even you sometimes. Only problem is I ain’t the father.” She says, “You would know better than I.” Inuyasha hurries away turning bright red. Not having meant to upset him, so much, Sango continues towards Kohaku. When she gets to the room he is staying in, she stops in indecision. After a moments thought, she walks in. Kohaku is asleep and Kagura stands up to great Sango. Before the demoness can say anything, Sango pulls a small leather bag out of her clothes. She hands it to Kagura and says, “Here. I want you to hold onto this.” Taking the bag, Kagura asks, “What is it?” “It’s the pieces of Kohaku’s jewel shard.” the human says. “Kagome gave them to me, and I’ve given it some thought but, I want you to have them.” Kagura says, “Sango, I won’t use jewel shards to increase my powers, that always leads to bad things.” Sango says, “Good, I’m glad to hear that. But still, I want you to hold onto this. Miroku and I each have our own jewel shards and…look, think of it as a favor to me; ok?” Closing her hand around the bag, Kagura nods.
