Kay guys lets do this woo!
It had been days since the group had done anything productive, and to tell the truth Kagome was bored out of her mind. They were sitting around their campfire for the night eating the leftover ramen, when she heard a scuffling and turned to see Shippo rummaging through her bag.
"Did you eat all of your ramen?" she asked her little adoptive fox demon.
"Yes every single noodle, now where is it?" Kagome reached behind her where she had already stashed her bag of candy, and produced a lollipop. It took less than a second for Shippo to grab the sweet and pop it in his mouth. "Mmm, thanks Kagome." He managed between slurps.
"I don't see what the big deal is about these things." Inuyasha said, sniffing the bag of sweets curiously. Kagome got up and snatched the bag back, not bothering to wonder how he had taken it from behind her. She took a lollipop out, the same as Shippo's and handed it over to him.
"Have one. It's nearly impossible to be in a bad mood when you're eating sweets." He didn't say anything, but she could tell by the way his ears perked up that he liked them.
"Inuyasha, did you at least pick up any scent of Naraku?" Miroku asked as he placed down his empty ramen bowl.
"Nah, nothing. Just some minor demons in the area, nothing to bat a lash over."
"It really has been an uneventful couple of days, hasn't it?" Sango sighed.
"Yes it has been." Miroku agreed. "Hopefully tomorrow will hold surprises." Inuyasha leaned against a tree and cuddled his tetsuiga close.
"Let's as least get some sleep." He mumbled before closing his eyes. Shippo scuttled over to Kagome's sleeping bag and snuggled in.
"Night Kagome." He mumbled from inside the bag.
"Sleep tight Shippo." She sighed before drifting off to sleep.
It was early when Kagome woke up next morning. Too early. The sun had barely risen and the sky still had a dark blue tint. She quietly unzipped her sleeping bag and stretched, the sound of her joints popping bouncing off the trees. Everyone around her was deep asleep, including Inuyasha. When he was asleep he almost looked peaceful, it showed a bit of the softer side she rarely saw. There was no denying their relationship, but it only showed when he deemed fit and when they were alone. Being the mature adult she was she stuck her tongue out at him, enjoying having the last word until he woke up.
Kagome got up swiftly making sure not to wake Shippo, and walked over to the water bottle she had stored in her bag. She tipped the bottle back and was rewarded with a cool stream of, air. She sat down in a huff staring at the empty bottle. The nearest town was still pretty far away, just then she heard the sound of running water. She glanced at the rest of the group; they were all deep asleep, Miroku's hand even twitched with a sly smile on his face. "They'll be fine." She muttered as she grabbed her bow and headed off toward the sound of the stream.
The stream was much further away then it sounded, but eventually she found it. She had already filled up her bottle and was splashing her face in the cool water, when a husky laugh drew her attention.
"Hmm aren't we pretty? Yes such beautiful pale skin." Kagome looked into the water and saw what appeared to be a small blue frog sitting on a lily pad.
"Ew nasty frog, shoo!" she said, trying to scare it away.
"I beg your pardon miss, but I am a toad not a frog. " It explained. "And what may I ask is your name?"
"None of your business! You slimy thing."
"Shame. I would like to know the name of my future bride." Before she could protest, a pink tongue shot out and stroked her cheek, leaving behind sticky goop."Yum! Fantastic! If the children we bear have half your beauty, they shall be wonderful indeed." Kagome quickly used her sleeve to wipe her cheek, but the feeling of being slimed didn't leave.
"You nasty, disgusting, filthy, slimy, revolting, repulsive, piece of…of FROG!" She seethed and reached for an arrow. "Prepare to be kabob." She spat, before stabbing at the amphibian.
Before the glowing pink arrow could reach him, he hopped over her head landing on the ground behind. "Ah a priestess! How unfortunate, but luckily I have just the thing for that my dear." The toad opened his mouth again but instead of a tongue, a giant bubble came from his lips. It managed to jump into the bubble without bursting it. When the bubble did pop moments later, a cloud of smoke filled the area momentarily blinding Kagome. After a couple of seconds the smoke dissipated, but instead of a small blue toad a giant demon stood in its place. The demon wore a green floral kosode and a giant gourd on its back with large beads laced around it.
"Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Kaeru-Oni and as I stated before I am a toad, not a frog." Kagome reached for her bow and had it aimed at his chest, but before she could fire he opened his mouth and a thick green smoke protruded. Kagome shut her eyes and covered her moth with her sleeve, but even so the smoke managed to burn her eyes and throat leaving behind a disgusting taste. Without warning she was picked up in a large clammy hand and lifted up high. The air this high up was cleaner and she gasped, trying to dispel the smoke from her system. She was about to yell for help when a small green orb was placed in her mouth. Before she could spit it out the familiar slimy feel of his tongue invaded her mouth, forcing its way down her throat and not stopping until both it and the orb were in her stomach. Quick as a flash the tongue was retracted, but not before running up the side of her cheek again.
"My dear I don't believe I've ever tasted someone as exquisite as you." He sighed smacking his lips. "I can't wait to take you home! By the way the orb I placed in you will dissolve from your stomach acid soon, which should get rid of that pesky priestess problem until I make you mine. It may cause a bit of paralysis until then, I can't wait to see what form you take! A toad perhaps? teehee."
"KAGOME!" they both turned in time to see a red blur come crashing through the trees.
"Ah, Kagome. The name of an angel." Kaeru's smile was cut short when tetsusaiga came down on his arm, cleaving it in two. Inuyasha grabbed Kagome from the fall, and placed her a safe distance away.
"Are you hurt?" he asked. She could barely move her head, with the paralysis beginning to kick in.
"Why you filthy little half breed!" Kaeru opened his mouth and the green smoke erupted again. The fog didn't seem to affect Inuyasha as he cracked his knuckles and advanced.
"You keep your filthy hands off of her!" he yelled into the smoke.
"Hmm. I guess you need something with a little more kick." Kaeru removed his gourd and popped the top, letting loose a fountain of black smoke. Inuyasha covered his nose with his sleeve attempting to block the strong smell, and struggling to see past the thick smoke. Unseen in the smog, a sharp slimy thing stabbed clean through Inuyasha's stomach, lifting him up and flicking him into a tree. Before he could get up a large hand smashed down on him, slamming him into the earth. "Hehe, after I kill you I'll use your bones as a gift for a bride, what a day!"
"Fat chance! You don't lay a slimy finger on her!" Inuyasha pressed his hand to his bleeding wound. "BLADES OF BLOOD!" The red blades cut through the remaining arm. By now the smoke was gone and he could finally see Kaeru. He grabbed tetsusaiga and aimed it at his heart, but before he could lift it, the pink tongue struck out again, knocking the blade aside.
"You fool I am Kaeru -Oni! I won't be slain by a petty half breed." The tongue lashed out again wrapping up Inuyasha and lifting him off the ground. He grunted as he was slammed into the ground repeatedly. "Where's that big mouth now huh?"
"IRON REAVER SOUL STEALER!" There was a sickening thud as Kaeru's tongue landed on the ground.
"Aint got much left have ya, you disgusting fish." Inuyasha taunted running over and grabbing tetsusaiga. "WIND SCAR!" Kaeru- Oni was consumed by the light until only dust remained. When he was sure Kaeru was gone he rushed over to where he left Kagome. Before he got there, he was assaulted by the unmistakable scent of the demon he had just slain. He followed it until he found Kagome, sitting against a tree. She didn't turn around when she heard him approach.
"Kagome, what happened?" It was then he saw her face. He had seen Kagome sad, happy, and especially angry, but the look she had on now was like she had seen a ghost. Still, tears streamed down her frozen face. He quickly bent down and held her close, wiping away the tears.
"Baka." He whispered. "Why would you wander off?" she opened her mouth a fraction but it was enough. He could smell the foul stench coming from inside her. A fresh wave of anger went through the half demon, he wish he hadn't killed Kaeru only so he could kill him slower. He scooped up Kagome and headed toward the camp, orb and all.
"MIROKU!" Inuyasha landed at the campsite where the patiently waiting others were. "Miroku something's wrong with Kagome." He said placing her down on her sleeping bag.
"What happened?" the monk asked as they crowded around.
"I don't know it happened before I got there."
"Kagome what's wrong?" the monk asked. It was barely a whisper, but they could still hear when she muttered orb. "Inuyasha, who did this?" Miroku asked frantically.
"Some frog demon named Kaeru -Oni. He mentioned something about making her his bride."
"I was afraid of that." Miroku mumbled as his skin paled, "We need to remove the orb quickly before it dissolves. Sango pass me my Sutras!" Kagome never heard the rest. She felt a tiny pop go off in her stomach and it felt like a fire had been lit within her. The heat was unbearable gradually spreading to every part of her body until it reached her mind. It seemed to tear it apart nerve by nerve before burning the pieces to nothing. It was a blessing when she finally lost consciousness.
