Chapter 1
"INUYASHA SIT!" Kagome's voice roared in the distance.
The ground shook with a thump and flocks of birds flew out the trees.
Inuyasha was twitching on the ground.
"Ka-Ka-Kagomeeeeeee" he wept.
"HMPH!" She flipped her hair and stormed off.
Shippo walked over to Inuyasha and sighed. "Inuyasha you really are an idiot."
Inuyasha whacked Shippo on the head.
"Hey! Ow! It's the truth though" Shippo mumbled.
Inuyasha shot up from the ground. "Hey! Just where do you think you're going Kagome?"
"AWAY FROM YOU!"
"What did I do?" Inuyasha said brushing off the dirt.
Kagomes turned around revealing her face of death.
Inuyasha was overcome with fear. Shippo hid behind Inuyasha's leg.
"Ahhh! Yikes! You're really in for it this time Inuyasha."
"I've dealt with all kinds of demons, I'm not afraid of her!"
"Oh really? Then why are you not going after her?" Shippo teased.
"Because she's not worth it! And she's being over-dramatic" Inuyasha said loud enough for Kagome to hear.
"All I ask is for a little more respect!" Kagome yelled.
"Respect? I deserve respect! I'm always saving you!" Inuyasha said brushing the dirt off of him.
"When have I never been appreciative of you saving me?"
Inuyasha was quiet for a moment.
"Grr! Well maybe if you had to wear these damn beads and get shoved into the ground you'd understand!"
"Well whose fault is it that you have to wear those beads?"
Inuyasha crossed his arms."It's not like I had a choice"
"Well unlike you, I'm respectful so therefore I will never have to wear beads like that!"
"Am not!"
"Am too!"
Under a nearby tree, Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kirara were watching.
"Hey Miroku, do you think we should do something?" Shippo whispered.
"They're acting like little kids" Sango added.
Miroku leaned back into the grass. "Ah well, that's nothing new."
Shippo's stomach growled. "I'm hungry. I smell a village up ahead."
"Do you think they'll notice if we leave?" Sango whispered.
Miroku opened one of his eyes.
"Here Kirara" Sango whispered.
The four tiptoed away quietly.
"Hmph! I'm not the only one that thinks you're disrespectful Inuyasha! Just ask them!" Kagome pointed towards the tree.
Inuyasha looked towards the tree. "Ask who?"
Kagomes finger twitched and her face began to redden.
"You better catch up since you can't pick up their scent" Inuyasha called, running in the distance.
Kagome tightened the grip on her bike handle and began pedaling. She breezed past Inuyasha and stuck her tongue out.
"Oh so that's how it's going to be huh?" Inuyasha went faster.
"Show off!" Kagome called.
"Least I don't need some silly contraption for speed!"
"Inuyasha, slow down!" Kagome called.
"Hah what? Too fast for you Kagome?"
"Inuyasha, "
"Hahahahaha! Let's face it. I obviously won!"
"Inuyasha! Look out!"
"Huh? Ahh!" he yelled.
Thud.
"For that tree..." Kagome sighed.
"Huh! What's the big idea! You could've told me sooner!"
"Ugh whatever!" Kagome flipped her hair as she began walking the other direction.
"Grr! No! Come back here!" Inuyasha exclaimed.
"You might want to turn around" Kagome said walking away.
"What now?!" He turned around.
A swarm of wasps began flying after him. Inuyasha's ears lowered.
"Ahh! Ouch! Dammit! Ahh! Kagome!"
It was nightfall when Kagome arrived outside the nearby village. She found the others crowded around a fire cooking fish.
"We found some food Kagome!" Shippo said excitedly.
"I see" she sat down by Sango.
"Where's Inuyasha?" Sango asked.
"I don't know. He should be here soon."
"Well whenever he gets here I'll try to find us a place to rest tonight" Miroku said.
"You mean, you and I will find a place for all of us to stay tonight" Sango pinched Miroku's ear.
"Oh yes of course" Miroku laughed anxiously.
Suddenly they heard footsteps. The four looked up.
"Is that you Inuyasha?" Miroku asked the shadow.
Inuyasha emerged from the darkness and was looking at his feet.
"What's the matter Inuyasha? Come eat some fish" Shippo said.
Inuyasha sighed and walked hesitantly into the light.
He slowly lifted his face and the four choked on their fish.
Shippo and Miroku were howling with laughter. Sango tried to hide her smile with her hand. Kagome giggled.
"Grr.. Whumps so fummy?"
"Your face is hideous! And you can't even talk right!" Shippo wailed with laughter.
Inuyasha began chasing after him and throwing punches.
"Haha! You can't even see because your eyes are swollen!" Shippo teased.
A whelp popped up on Shippos noggin.
"Dong underwestimate me" Inuyasha scowled.
The others were still laughing which made Inuyasha even more embarrassed.
"Grr! Sshut up! I outta give all of you a piece of my mime!"
"Excuse me? Is everything all right?" A man appeared out of the forest.
The man was chubby and seemed jolly. He was holding a basket full of medicinal herbs.
"Oh yes" Miroku said.
"My name is Lynkotsu, I overheard you folks while I was gathering these herbs. Tell me, do you have a place to stay tonight?"
Kagome shook her head no.
"I have two extra huts, you folks are welcome to stay in them."
"Oh, thank you. We are most appreciative" Miroku said.
"Say, demon, what happened to you?" Lynkotsu pointed at Inuyasha.
"It seems that our friend has gotten stung by wasps" Miroku added.
"Oh, I see. I have something that will get rid of those bumps" Lynkotsu said.
"Fine by me" Inuyasha followed him.
