I do not own Inuyasha in any way. Just like to barrow them :) Let me know if you like it :) Second Chapter will be up soon.
Inuyasha and the gang had been traveling trying to find Naraku who held a very large chunk of the Shikon no Tama. Inuyasha had been sat several times today for his rude comments so everyone was irritated and tired. As they came over the hill they saw a very large village in a very pretty meadow.
"Oh look, this village looks rather nice!" Kagome was excited to finally see a place that looks like they could stop at.
"Feh. We can keep going." Inuyasha scoffed and continued to walk.
"Oh come on Inuyasha! We are beat! We could use a break!" Kagome shouted out at him.
"WELL I DON'T THINK WE NEED TO!" Inuyasha screamed at her.
Kagome humphed and then, "SIT! SIT SIT SIT SIT!" Inuyasha hit the ground and was in a creator.
"We are going to the village! You do what you want." Kagome started to storm away with Sango and Miroku following close behind. "Will he ever learn?" Shippo quietly commented.
As the group moved through the village, it was bustling with a huge market. As Kagome walked along she stopped at a small stand with an old woman that was selling flowers.
"Ya! Such a beautiful woman! Please miss her is a flower that can only describe your beauty." She took a wild orchid with pink base and purple fade to the tip of the petals.
"It's gorgeous. But I couldn't take it." Kagome was embarrassed by her words but was humbled that she was so nice.
"Yes, please. No woman of your beauty should be without a flower." Inuyasha came around the side of the two woman. He still had scuffs on his face from the last sit.
"Feh, she said she didn't want it lady." In a rude and rough voice Inuyasha then grabbed Kagome's arm.
"Inuyasha! I'm so sorry about him." She ripped her arm out of his grasp. "Thank you for the lovely flower." She graciously accepted the flower and walked away in a humph away from Inuyasha.
Kagome caught up with Sango who was trying to get Miroku away from some young maiden who was blushing furiously. Inuyasha followed Kagome but was angry about it. 'What did I do? Why is she so mad at me? She does look pretty today. She always looks beautiful.' Shaking his head. 'Feh. Weak thoughts!'
"You travellers!" The gang heard a man yell out to them. "Are any of you good at getting rid of demons?"
"Well yes my good sir!" Miroku through his heavy charm at the man. As Miroku worked out the details with the mystery man Inuyasha had gone walking a little ways away, he could see the group. He was looking for a present for Kagome. He started to feel bad that they fought so much the past couple of days. He found a cart that had jewelery. He saw a beautiful necklace. It was a blue green jewel that had this beautiful chain. He saw it and thought of Kagome so he knew it was for her. He bought it from the villager and she wrapped it up for him and he walked back to the group.
"Where did you go?" Kagome asked eyeing him with curiosity. "Feh." Was his only reply.
Kagome rolled her eyes and looked back at Miroku who was walking back to the group.
"So we are going to the palace. Apparently there is a demon there that needs expelling. Inuyasha rolled his eyes. 'Yea like that's true.'
They followed the man to the palace and were in awe of the size of the mountain side. As they walked in there was amazing tapestries with brilliant colors. Kagome had only seen things like this in museums in her time.
"Wait here while I get the master." The man walked away quickly.
"This place is amazing!" Kagome said as she looked up at the ceiling. Sango nodded her head in agreement. Miroku just saw dollar signs, but Inuyasha was uneasy. Something about this place didn't feel right.
"These are the demon slayers Uko?" A tall man asked coming from the top floor. He was tan, handsome, and had a voice that called you in. Kagome and Sango both could not staring. Inuyasha didn't like this guy. He made his inner demon growl.
"Thank the Gods you are here. The demon is becoming a major nuisance. Oh what lovely women you are. What is your name?" He gently picked Sango's hand and kissed the back of it. She giggled. Sango giggled! Red flags went flying in Miroku's head.
"Her name is not the important part. Where is the demon at?" Miroku moved in between Sango and the man. He had to drop her hand. That's when he saw Kagome.
"Be still my heart." He put his hand over his heart and stared at Kagome. "You have to be a Goddess. There is no explanation to your beauty." He grabbed her hand kissed the top of it. Then he saw the flower. "Ah and a flower that could only match your beauty."
"Ok man, where is the demon." Inuyasha moved in between Kagome and him where the connect was again lost with one of the girls and this man.
"Ah straight to business is it men. I like that in gentlemen. Yes…the demon is in the west wing of the castle. We were able to contain it there."
"Perfect, we will take care of the demon and be on our way." Miroku said. Inuyasha for once was proud of Miroku. He felt what he was feeling, and thank kami.
"Oh, now you can't do that. I wouldn't be a great host if I let you to leave without a proper meal and night sleep." He was staring at Kagome now and Inuyasha didn't like it. Kagome had a smile that she hasn't had for him in a long time. He was jealous of that smile because it was for another man.
"We could stay. We aren't in a rush." Kagome said with a upper tone. Inuyasha looked back at her.
"Wonderful! While the men work, ladies please let Tilly show you to one of the guest rooms. I will through a full feast tonight to honor you for your success!"
"I think the ladies will be fine with use." Miroku said grabbing Sango's hand.
"You and Inuyasha are capable of taking care of a demon. Kagome and I are going to relax." Sango said with a matter of fact tone.
"Wonderful!" The man's face had a sickly smile on it. He won and he knew it. The girls and Shippo went to the guest rooms. Not before Inuyasha looked at Shippo and told him to keep his eyes open.
Inuyasha and Miroku wanted to get this demon taken care of so they could return to the women before something happened.
'Kagome, please be careful. I know you're angry with me. But please see through that disguise.' Inuyasha thought as she walked away.
