Another Normal Trip
~I don't own Inuyasha!!!
Chapter 1
It was early fall. The leaves haven't started falling to the ground, but they
have changed colors. Kagome finished filling her backpack. She thought 'I have
everything for the futile era.' She headed for the well. Kagome thought 'I only
hope Inuyasha isn't holding a grudge against me or anything. Even if he is, it
should be a fine trip. We could walk though the forest and look at the leaves.' She
had reached the well so she jumped in.
Inuyasha was waiting impatiently as Miroku was putting a bandage onto his
side. Inuyasha thought 'I wish I could use a sit command on Kagome for a change.'
Miroku said, "How did you get this wound?" Inuyasha twitched. He said, "Why don't
you mind your own business for a change. Miroku said, "I have finished dressing your
wound." Inuyasha stood up. He picked up Kagome's scent. Inuyasha said, "I'm going
out for a walk. I'll be back." Miroku said, "Inuyasha, you should take it easy. Your
wound has just now started to heal." Inuyasha said, "It's only a walk." Miroku
insisted, "I'll come with you." Miroku picked up his staff. Inuyasha exclaimed, "No,
I need to think. Everyone needs time to think every once in a while, even me."
Inuyasha ran off before Miroku could stop him. 'You needing to think worries me.'
Kagome climbed out of the well. She started walking into the forest. Kagome could
tell that the sun was almost completely down and it was going to get dark soon. She
thought, 'What is taking
Inuyasha so long? I wonder where he is.' Kagome felt a tap on her shoulder. She
turned around to see who it is, but no one was there. Kagome kept walking. Her eyes
were skimming the trees. She felt another tap. She quickly turned around, but again
there was the same result. She had completely stopped now. She was scanning the
trees.
She saw something red in the bushes. The bushes began to shake a little bit.
Kagome thought, 'It's only Inuyasha.' She walked over to the bush. She whispered,
"Inuyasha, sit." The ground shook as Inuyasha landed on it. He stood up. "Why do you
always do that to me?" Kagome said, "You really deserved it this time." Miroku came
running down the hill. He said, "Inuyasha, are you all right? Oh, Lady Kagome is back.
That explains it." Kagome said, "Hey Miroku. Where's Sango?" Miroku said, "She is in
the hut on the top of the hill." Inuyasha said,
"Kagome, Sango was asleep when I left. Miroku was left alone with her asleep." Miroku
got a grin on his face. Kagome asked, "What did you do?" All of a sudden, Sango's
boomerang came flying down the hill. It landed sticking strait up out of the ground
next to Miroku. Miroku's eyes got wide and he was shocked. Sango glared down the hill
at Miroku. Then, she saw Kagome. Her face immediately got a smile. "Kagome, I wasn't
expecting you to come back so soon. I have some 'unfinished business' with that monk,
but that will have to wait until later." Sango said as she brightened up. She walked
down the hill picking up her boomerang as she came. She flinched towards Miroku as if
she was going to hit him and Miroku stepped backwards. Sango had a smirk on her face.
Inuyasha stepped forward so he could stand next to Kagome.
"Are you going to apologize for that stupid sit command?"Inuyasha asked. Kagome
glared at Inuyasha. She said, "Why don't you apologize first?" He growled, " Me? For
what?" Kagome said, "For starters, yelling at me and for being mad at me. Then taking
it out on everybody else and . . . " Inuyasha interrupted her, "Okay, I get your
point." Kagome said, "Is that your apology? I accept." Inuyasha groaned. He thought,
'Why keep arguing? She'll just run back to the well.' He kept silent.
They walk up the hill toward the hut. Kagome and Sango sat on one side of the
hut while Inuyasha and Miroku stood on the other. Kagome was digging through her bag.
She pulled out bandages and medicines. She left some in her bag, because she thought
that she had brought to much. She said, "There were more bandages here when I left.
What happened to them?" Inuyasha said, "Your sit commands reopened a wound from our
last battle. I can smell my blood. It needs to be change again, because of you."
Kagome thought 'I did that?' Then, she said, "I'm sorry. Let me take a look at
your wound." Inuyasha turned around and stomped out of the hut. Kagome thought, 'I
wonder what that attitude was all about.' She grabbed a bandage. Then, she took off
running after Inuyasha. Miroku rolled his eyes. He thought, 'Here they go again, I
bet Kagome will go home without saying goodbye again.'
Miroku looked up. He saw Sango staring down at her arm. He noticed she had a
scratch that was hardly bleeding. He asked, "How did you get that scratch?" Sango
glanced up. She thought, 'He looks concern about this. Sango replied, "Don't worry
about this. It's only a minor scratch." Miroku grabbed some medicine and a bandage.
He walked over to Sango and knelt in front of her. He demanded, "Give me your hand."
Sango looked up at Miroku's face. He was serious. She knew if he wasn't going to try
to pull something on her. He would have a mysterious face or a grin. She gave him her
hand.
Miroku put a little medicine on her bandage. Then, he began to, gently, wrap her
arm. As he was concentrating on bandaging her arm, he asked, "How did you get it?" She
said, "A demon cut me." He asked, "Do you have any other wounds?" Sango said, "No." He
had finished bandaging her arm, but he still was holding her hand. Sango was watching
him very closely. He said, "If you ever have any wounds, even if they are minor,
tell me." He let go of her hand and started to walk away. Sango said, "Miroku," Miroku
stopped and turned around. She said, "Thank you." They both smiled at each other.
Kagome was running. She thought 'Where did he go?' She finally spotted him
sitting on the top of the hill. He was looking up a the stars. She came up and sat
beside him. She noticed his hand grasping his side. He glanced over at her. She looked
at him. Inuyasha blushed and then quickly turned away. Kagome smiled. Then, she broke
the silence. "Why did you stomp out of the hut like that?" She asked calmly. Inuyasha
shook his head. He said, "You're embarrassing." Kagome gave him a funny look. "What do
you mean by that?" she asked. Inuyasha replied, "You have never tended to my wounds
before. Miroku always did it." She thought for a moment. She said, "Your right, I
haven't." He asked, "Why start now?" Kagome saw that he really was embarrassed by this.
She said, "Right now, no one else is here and someone has to do it." He mumbled, "Oh,
all right." Inuyasha knew that he actually didn't mind Kagome taking care of him.
Inuyasha took off his shirt. Kagome examined the wound. It was a deep cut from his
back to his stomach across his rib. Kagome asked, "Is it hard to breathe?" He said,
"Sometimes." Kagome applied the bandage and then some pressure to stop the wound from
bleeding. She said, "I'm sorry." He said, "Don't apologize. It's not necessary." She said,
"Thanks." She lifted to see if he had stopped bleeding. It did stop. She removed her hand
from his side. He put his shirt back on. Kagome watched him. She thought, 'At least he can
take the pain that it is causing him.'
Kagome shivered. Inuyasha noticed this out of the corner of his eye. He asked, "Are
you cold?" Kagome said, "A little. The night is cooler here." He put his arm around her.
Kagome lent in and rested her head on his shoulder. They gazed into each others eyes for a
while. Kagome thought, 'His eyes are actually quite pretty. They seem like they last
forever.' Inuyasha was the first one to look away and then he stared at the sky. Kagome
and Inuyasha sat there and looked up at the stars. A few minutes later, Inuyasha looked
over at Kagome. She had already fallen asleep. Inuyasha smiled to himself. He stayed up
watching over Kagome.
Miroku began to worry.(odd that Miroku would worry) He thought, 'Where did Inuyasha
and Kagome go? They have been gone for an awful long time.' Miroku stood and began to walk
out of the hut. Sango asked, "Where are you going?" Miroku said, "Out to look for Inuyasha
and Kagome." She said, "Oh, no you're not." He replied, "Why not? Do you know where they
went?" Sango said, "No, I don't. I can tell that they are fine. We both know that Inuyasha
would protect Kagome. It wouldn't matter what happened to him. I bet they are just talking.
Inuyasha wouldn't want us to intrude if he was speaking about something important." Miroku
turned around and smiled. He thought, 'Inuyasha, you are one sly half demon. I bet you left
knowing that Kagome would follow you.' Then, Miroku's smile turned into a grin.
Kagome, slowly, opened her eyes. It was morning. She found herself cuddled with
Inuyasha. She had her head lying on his chest and her arms were around his upper waist. His
arms were around her waist with his head gently resting upon hers. Inuyasha was still asleep.
Kagome tried removed his arms from her waist. Inuyasha had an tight grip on her, but she
managed to pull away. Kagome stood up. Inuyasha woke up to see Kagome standing in front of
him, yawning and rubbing her eyes at the same time. He stood up. He took two steps to where
he was behind her. Then, he whispered, "Good morning" into her ear as he put his hand on her
shoulder. Kagome was startled so she jumped. Inuyasha laughed. Kagome thought, 'This is the
first time I have seen him laugh in a long time. Kagome smiled. Kagome voice cracked when she
talked. "Good morning," she said back. "I could tell that you slept well." Kagome's voice
stopped cracking. Inuyasha said, "You must have been tired. You fell asleep quickly." Kagome
thought, 'He's a good mood.' Then, she said, "Well, I guess that we better see if Miroku is
still alive up there or if he tried something." They walked up the hill. Kagome thought 'Is
that the only thing that I could think of to say ? Why was I so nervous ?' Inuyasha thought,
'Darn it! I should have said something better. I was comfortable last night.'
They arrived at the hut. Inuyasha opened the door for Kagome. As they walked in, Miroku gave them a mysterious look. There was an odd silence in the hut. Finally, Miroku broke it. "Where were you two last night?" Inuyasha snapped, "That's none of your business, monk."
Kagome thought, 'I liked him better when he was in a good mood.' The awful silence came again. Then, Kagome looked around. "Where's Sango?" Miroku answered, "She went to the river. It's strait behind the hut. Go straight though the woods and you'll find it." Miroku thought, 'I
could have followed her if I knew where these two were. Curse them.' Kagome said, "Thanks." Kagome ran out of the hut.
Kagome followed Miroku's directions. She thought, 'I hope he gave me the right directions.' He did. Kagome approached the river. Sango was bending over getting a drink of water. Kagome walked up and stooped over to get a drink herself. Once they both stopped drinking, they talked. "So where were you last night?" Sango asked curiously. "No where, I just followed Inuyasha and then replaced his bandage." Sango said, "Sure, whatever." Kagome quickly changed the subject.
"So," She said, "What did Miroku do to you? You were mad at him whenever I arrived." Sango rolled her eyes. He said, "When I was asleep, he tried to pull one of his 'usual stunts.' I woke up right when he really wouldn't want me to." Kagome thought, 'That figures.' Kagome noticed Sango's arm. "What happened?" Kagome asked as she nodded to her arm. She said, "I got scratched by a demon in our last battle." Kagome thought, 'I saw the scratch, but I didn't see the bandage.' She asked, "When did it get bandaged?" Sango blushed. She just blurted it
out. "Miroku bandaged it for me last night." Kagome was shocked. "You mean that you let Miroku get that close to you?" Sango said, "I saw the look on his face. If he was going to pull something, he would have had a smile or grin on his face. His face was serious and it almost had
a worried look in it." Kagome thought, 'Miroku was being serious? That's a first and very odd.' Sango wanted to change the subject. She asked, "Are you ready to head back?" Kagome said, "Yeah, I only came down here to find you." They headed back.
As they approached the hut, Kagome saw Inuyasha leaning against the side of the hut. He looked very angry and annoyed. Kagome leaned forward and whispered into Sango's ear, "I'm going to see what's up with Inuyasha. Do me a favor and go into the hut." Sango nodded. After
Sango left, Kagome went up and leaned against the wall next to Inuyasha.Kagome looked over at Inuyasha. Inuyasha just kept staring down.
Kagome kept her voice down. "What's wrong?" Inuyasha said, "Miroku is a pest. He really needs to keep his nose in his own business." Kagome said, "He wants to know what happened last night, doesn't he?" Inuyasha nodded. Kagome said, "Are you really bothered by
him?" Inuyasha looked up to see Kagome smiling. He thought, 'Seeing her smile, warmed my heart.' Inuyasha couldn't help, but to smile back. He said, "No, it doesn't bother me. If he keeps up, he going to get a few hits on his head though." Kagome laughed. Inuyasha thought, 'I'm
glad that she always there for me like she is. She always brightens up my day.' Then, Kagome sensed a jewel shard and Inuyasha picked up the scent that of Naraku. They looked at each other and read each other's face. Inuyasha yelled, "Miroku! Sango! I smell Naraku."
