Inu: The Story Of A Dog Demon & Priest(Editing)

33 - The priest finally needs Inu

Kago P.O.V

I was walking home from school when I heard some guy say the higurashi shrine was on fire. What? I rushed up the stairs of the shrine. I saw a crowd of people, police and firefighters. I pushed through the crowd. There was a rope and a police officer blocking it. "Excuse me." I said going under the rope to the other side.

"Hey you the area off limits!" The police officer shouted. I continued walking. I saw mom talking to an officer. After he left I walked up to her. "Mom. What's going on?" I ask.

"Kago." Mom said.

"What happened?" I ask.

"The old storage house caught on fire and Grandpa was trapped inside in the smoke." Mom explained. "Gramps is hurt?" I ask.

"Don't worry he fainted from so much smoke, but they say two or three days in the hospital and he should be good and well. I'm on my way now to check in on him and see how he's doing." Mom explained. "Let me go with you." I said. "No you stay here and wait for Sota someone got to explain things to him." Mom explained. "Okay." I agreed.

How can a fire start in the storage house something about this doesn't seem right.

Inu P.O.V

I was sitting on my favorite tree when I smelled something. I smelled the air. Kago bleeding. Something must have happened. I jump off the tree and ran to the forest. I saw the well and jump in. A purple pinkish light surrounded me and after a few minutes it disappeared.

I saw the kid from before. "You...you're Inu." The kid said. "In the flesh kid. Now what happened to Kago?" I ask. "Hey don't forget about me." The fox said landing on top of me.

"How did you get here?" I ask. "I followed you. Are you mad?" The fox said. "No. Now get off me!" I shouted. The kid told us what happened after that we got out of the well.

I told the kid to get on my back and I followed Kago's scent. We traveled by building. We jumped. "Hang on tight kid. It's a long way down." I said. "I guess I wasn't strong enough to pass through the hidden well." The kid said. "I'm surprised I made it." The fox said.

"You should be grateful because in our world there are plenty of monsters who would love to have you for lunch." I said jumping on a moving truck. "Do you know how to find my brother?" The kid asked. "Sure dogs have a great sense of smell. I can pick up scents from miles away with this nose." I explained.

"Yeah I can smell scents miles away too except I need to smell their scent on something for me to find them." The fox explained. "My brother cut his hand on some glass." The kid explained. "You don't have to tell me that I can smell the blood from the federal era." I said. "Don't worry we'll rescue Kago before he gets in any trouble." The fox said. I saw the construction site where Kago scent was coming from.

I jump off the truck and onto a building.

I jumped from building to building. I jump onto the top of the construction thing. I saw the mask demon thing trying to attack Kago.

"Iron reaver, soul stealer." I said slicing it in half. "Nice timing." Kago said.

"You okay Kago?" The fox asked.

"Yeah wait Tayori." Kago said.

Inu P.O.V

The kid got off my back. I turned around. "Don't worry Inu going to take care of the demon." Kago said. "Excuse me before I get on with saving the day. This might be the appropriate time for an apologize wouldn't it you say." I said. "Apologize for what?" Kago asked. He can't be serious.

"For what for shouting the command word so many times and putting my back out that's what." I said. "Oh that I forgot. Okay fine I'm really sorry there you go." Kago said.

I turned around.

"He's acting like he's apologizing for stepping on my foot." I muttered. "You know what maybe I'll just go back." I said. "You can't just leave us. Besides the mask has a shard of the sacred jewel. Don't you want to add that to our collection." Kago said. "Whatever." I said crossing my arms. "Uh guys I hate to interrupt, but look." The fox said. I look at the demon.

"Who dares to attack me?" The mask asked. "The name Inu." I answered.

"Inu aim for the mask. The shard in the forehead." Kago explained. "I am the flush eating mask. Centuries ago I was carved from a giant tree which the fragment of the sacred jewel was embedded in. Since my creation I have craved human flesh and devoured my vitamins, but now I wish to have a living body that we'll not rot for that I require more of the sacred jewel." The mask explained.

I chuckled. "I don't know how many humans you devoured, but if you think you're going to take my jewel shards you're crazy." I said. I charge forward and punch the mask in the forehead, but instead of it breaking my hand got stuck in it. "What the." I said.

"You fell into my trap. Now you will never escape me."The mask explained. It pulled me inside. I couldn't move when I got inside. Dang it. I saw the mask go after Kago who threw the Jewel shards to the fox who caught it.

The fox tried to attack the mask, but failed. He threw the jewel shards to the kid who started running. He was on the edge of the building. All of a sudden my hand was free. I took my sword at the sheath. I jump out and went after the mask. "Don't move kid." I said slicing the mask. It shattered and the fragment of the sacred jewel fell onto the ground.

"You shattered the mask. You did it." The kid said. "Of course. You still have the fragments?" I ask. He nods. Good. "Inu." Kago said behind me. I turned around. "Hey Kago. Are you alright how's your hand?" I ask. "Uh it's fine." Kago replied. "You okay too fox?" I ask.

"I'm fine, but are you okay?" The fox said. "What do you mean?" I ask. "Well you're acting....." The fox, but was interrupted by Kago shouting. "The sun! Oh no it's morning already and I haven't studied for my test!"

He started running. "Where are you going?" I ask. "Thanks Inu and Tayori it's been fun, but I got to leave oh and Sota don't forget to pick up the jewel shards and bring them home with you and you two better be gone when I get back." Kago said leaving. The kid tugged on my sleeve.

I looked down. "What is it?" I ask. "You know what I got a new favorite heroine. Bet you can't guess who it is." The kid said. Oh no. The fox started laughing. "Oh I think she has an idea." The fox said. "Oh great." I muttered.
