Ch. 2 the first meeting and the festival
"So Inuyasha picked this out all on his own?" asked Kagome looking at herself in the mirror with the kimono Inuyasha had given her on.
"Ya all I did was take him to the village that made it." said Sango from the bathroom.
Kagome looked at Kilala and Buyo who were sleeping on Kagome's bed all curled up together. Kagome smiled and took a picture of the two with her camera.
"What do you think?" asked Sango coming out of the bathroom. Her Kimono was navy blue, with pale pink snowflakes and a matching pale pink obi.
"Wow Sango that looks great on you." said Kagome. "Now about your hair."
"What about it?" Sango looked in the mirror. Her hair was in a high and messy ponytail.
"I think I have just the thing." Kagome went into her bathroom and came out with a pink comb that had a flower design on it.
"Wow Kagome I can't take that." said Sango looking at the comb bug-eyed.
"Of course you can, I bought it a while ago and have never used it." She said taking out Sango's pony tail and placing the comb in her hair.
"O thank you Kagome." she said giving her a hug.
"Your welcome, now I gotta do my hair." she said hugging her back.
"Let me Kagome." said Sango. She went into Kagome's bathroom and came back with two red chopsticks. "Sit down for a moment." In minutes she had Kagome's hair in a bun with the chopsticks sticking out. "There is that ok?" asked Sango letting Kagome look in the mirror.
Kagome looked into her mirror then squealed with excitement. "That's awesome Sango thank you."
Just then someone knocked on Kagome's door. "Come in!" said the girls. The door opened and in came Souta and Shippo.
"Wow you guys look really pretty." said Shippo
"Thank you." both the girls said
"Inuyasha and Miroku are waiting for you outside." said Souta picking up Buyo.
"Come on Kilala." said Shippo, and they left.
"Come on Inuyasha just try it. I guarantee it will work." said Miroku. They were waiting in Kagome's living room, discussing what they were gonna do at the festival.
"Ok guys were ready." said Kagome as she and Sango walked down the stairs. Both guys looked at the girls and almost instantly, their jaws dropped. Kagome giggled and Sango blushed at the reactions.
"Are we ready?" asked Kagome pushing Inuyaha's jaw closed.
"Sango my dear you look beautiful." said Miroku picking her up and spinning her around.
"Thank you." said Sango giggling.
"Well if were all ready we should be going." said Miroku putting Sango back on the ground.
They all started outside, kagome with a little disappointment on her face. Inuyasha followed them in silence.
"Master Jaken when do you think lord Seshomaru will be coming back?" asked Rin. Seshomaru had once again left them, this time next to a river. Rin was standing in the water, her kimono sleeves pulled up, trying to catch a fish.
"I don't know, but what I don't understand is why he keeps leaving me with you. I have more importance than to be a babysitter." said Jaken sitting next to a rock.
"I am not a baby," said Rin focusing on a fish.
"She's right you know." said a voice from the woods.
"Who's that?" asked Rin looking in the direction of the woods.
"You there, show yourself at once!" yelled Jaken standing up and getting the staff of two heads ready.
A teenage girl with long white hair with black streaks came out form behind the trees. Her eyes were pure white and the expression on her face made her look wise beyond her years, with still a sadness to it. She was wearing a black sleeveless, backless dress with metal around the edges and a chain as a strap(a/n: kinda like a halter top); a metal belt connects the top part of her dress to the bottom; the backless part show's off her smooth back and curvy hips; the bottom part of the dress splits at her thigh on both sides; she's wearing metal shackles connected with chains to her ankles, wrists, neck, and white angel wings on her back. The bottom part of her dress has a beautiful design in white; all of the metal has the same design. At her side, connected to the belt, is a small pouch and twin blades with the same design as her shackles and clothes.
"My name is Pacciri." she said. Her voice held much sadness, but it sounded young and beautiful. "You can put that down I'm not going to hurt you."
"Hump. I don't care if you're a young girl or not, I don't trust you." said Jaken keeping his eyes focused on Pacciri.
"Jaken!" came a voice from behind him.
Jaken turned around to see Seshomaru. "Lord Seshomaru!" yelled Rin abandoning the fish and running up to him.
"Who are you?" asked Seshomaru not giving notice to Rin. "You are neither alive nor dead, human nor demon. I would like to know what you are before I kill you." he said bringing up his right arm.
"I am an angel bound to earth by Naraku." said Pacciri showing him no fear.
"Young women Naraku is dead so you are free." said Jaken acting like he new exactly what he was talking about.
"Yes I know he is dead, or I would not be standing here as we speak. Even though Naraku is dead some of the thing's he has done still lingers. I am one of those things."Pacciri got down on her knee's as if begging. "You are the only are who can help me Seshomaru."
Seshomaru looked at her in disgust. "This Seshomaru will not help the likes of you. Come Rin." he said turning around with Rin at his heels.
"Lord Seshomaru wait for me!" yelled Jaken running after them.
"Seshomaru wait!" yelled Pacciri getting up.
Seshomaru stopped and turned toward her. "I was hoping it wouldn't come to this." she said untying the small pouch that was at her side. She poured out a white powder into her hand then, holding her hand to her mouth and toward Seshomaru, she blew the powder at him. It hit him dead on, but Seshomaru didn't even blink.
"I'll be waiting here if you need me." she said re-tying the pouch to her belt, then sitting down.
Without a word Seshomaru turned back around and walked away, followed by Rin and Jaken.
"Kagome!" yelled Ayumi running up to her. She was in a purple kimono with yellow stars.
"O hi Ayumi." said Kagome. The group had walked all the way to the festival. Miroku and Sango looked like the happiest couple there, but Kagome and Inuyasha hadn't said hardly anything to each other.
"Kagome, you look beautiful. O hi Inuyasha long time no see." she said with a smile.
"Yo" was all Inuyasha could say.
"Who are your other friends Kagome?" she asked referring to Sango and Miroku.
"O Ayumi this is Sango and Miroku. Guys this is Ayumi." she said gesturing to each of them.
"Nice to meet you." said Sango bowing.
"It is a pleasure to meet one of Kagome's friends." said Miroku also bowing.
"Like wise." said Ayumi bowing as well. "Well it was nice to meet you all, but I have to get going my dates gonna be here soon."
"Date? Is it the guy from our math class?" asked Kagome.
"Ya." said Ayumi blushing. "Well see ya." she said before running off.
"Bye!" yelled Kagome after her.
"Was that one of your friends from school Kagome?" asked Sango.
"Ya, Ayumi is really nice." said Kagome trying to not look at Inuyasha.
"Well then shall we split up?" asked Miroku taking Sango's hand.
"We'll meet up here in about an hour ok kagome." said Sango walking off with miroku.
"Wait you guys!?" yelled Kagome, but she was too late, Sango and Miroku were already off enjoying themselves.
Kagome sighed, then looked at Inuyasha who was sniffing the air.
"Hey Kagome, you hungry?" he asked still sniffing the air. Kagome just fell down anime style.
"What do you think Inuyasha?" asked Kagome taking a bite of her churo.
"Not bad. What do you want to do next?" he asked stuffing the last bit of his churo into his mouth.
"Hey dude love the costume. You're a dog demon right?" asked a guy in a samurai costume. This had to be the fourth person to ask Inuyasha that and he was getting ticked.
"Yes that's exactly what he is." said Kagome smiling.
"Cool! You should so try out for the costume contest."
"No that's ok, bye" said Kagome grabbing Inuyasha's hand and walking off. Inuyasha blushed, but grabbed her hand tighter.
They were silent for a while, just walking around hand in hand , looking at the attractions.
"Het inuyasha?' asked Kagome
"Ya?"
"I was wonderi..." but Kagome was cut off by someone yelling her name.
"Kagome! Kagome you made it!" yelled Hojo running up to them.
"Oh no." said Kagome looking for a place to hide, too late.
"Kagome hi." said Hojo coming to a halt in front of her.
"Hi Hojo." she said giving him a fake smile.
"Kagome, I've been looking all over for you." he said grabbing her other hand, making Inuyasha very jealous.
"Why?" she asked letting go of Inuyasha's hand and trying to free her self from Hojo.
"Because you and I are basically going out right? So we should spend more time together." he said tightening his grip.
"Ow Hojo." said Kagome wincing in pain.
"Hey who do you think you are? Let go of Kagome!" yelled Inuyasha, now he was mad. Holding Kagome's hand was one thing, but hurting her was asking for trouble.
"Inuyasha it's all right I can handle it." she said still trying to free herself, but Inuyasha wasn't listening. He came up to Hojo and grabbed him by the neck, growling. Hojo, scared out of his wits, let go of Kagome and grabbed Inuyasha's hand that had his neck.
"Listen Hobo, Kagome is my girl no one else's! So quit bugging her! And If I ever catch you touching her again I'll kill you!" with that he let go of Hojo. Hojo, with a look of fright, got up and ran away.
"Inuyasha..." Kagome was stunned, not from what he did, but from what he said.
"Kagome I'm sorry." said Inuyasha not looking at her. Kagome didn't say anything. "You look beautiful." he said blushing.
Kagome smiled then walked up to Inuyasha and kissed him on the cheek. "Thank you Inuyasha." she said smiling. If it was possible Inuyasha's face turned redder. "Come on I hear music." said Kagome grabbing his hand and pulling him toward the sound of the music.
Both of them had only one thought running through their heads. 'My girl'
It was dark out, but Pacciri didn't know it. She was sitting in the same spot that Seshomaru had left her in.
"Girl! Girl what have you done!" yelled Jaken. He was holding onto aut-un's rains, with Rin walking beside them, holding something.
"What are you talking about?" asked Pacciri not looking at them.
"Rin show her! Show her what she has done to lord Seshomaru!" yelled Jaken jumping up and down.
Rin walked up to Pacciri with a very pissed silver blue cat in Seshomaru's clothing, with a crescent moon on it's forehead and demon marking's on it's cheeks and paws. (A/n: I have a pic of this e-mail me if you would like it.)
"O what I did to Seshomaru. Well if your blind then I shall tell you, I turned him into a cat." she said still not looking at them.
"Turn him back!" yelled Jaken still jumping up and down.
"I can't." said Pacciri standing.
"Why can't you?" asked Rin petting Seshomaru making him purr.
"Because I am not strong enough to break the spell. The only one who is, is my mother, but she is still trapped thanks to Naraku. That is why I need Seshomaru's help. He's the only one who can break the spell my mother is bound to." she said her expression not changing.
"If we help you, will your mother turn lord Seshomaru back?" asked Rin
"Of course."
"Alright then come with us." said Rin "we've made camp a little ways from here." Rin then turned around and started walking off in the direction of the camp. Pacciri followed, along with Jaken who looked very pissed and tired from his jumping.
"Watch out there's a log ." said Rin. They were almost to the camp and Pacciri was lagging behind.
"Where? Young girl? Youn... wah!" Pacciri fell over the log.
"Miss Pacciri are you alright?" asked Rin running up to her. She let go of Seshomaru and helped her up.
"Girl how could you have not seen the log? Are you blind?" asked Jaken.
"Actually I am." said Pacciri brushing herself off.
"Really? Then how did you know we were at the river?" asked Rin.
"I can see your souls. I can also read them. It's a curse Naraku set upon me."
"Our souls? Are they all different?" asked Rin
"Yes they are, but I will tell you more later. It's not safe here." said Pacciri starting to walk ahead, and tripping over a fallen tree branch.
"You should ride on aut-un. This way you won't fall anymore, there's lots of logs and fallen branches ahead." said Rin picking Seshomaru back up.
"That is very kind of you young girl." said Pacciri walking up to aut-un. Aut-un bent down for her and she got on him.
"My name is Rin, miss Pacciri, and he is Jaken." said Rin smiling.
"It's nice to meet you Rin and Jaken. Please just call me Pacciri."
"Ok, come on Aut-un." said Rin leading the group.
"I wonder if Kagome and Inuyasha are having a good time." said Sango. Her and Miroku were having a wonderful time. Kagome had given them some money so they could get something to eat and play a game or too. Miroku had won Sango a pink bunny that she was now holding onto tightly.
"I bet you their having a splendid time my dear." said Miroku groping Sango's ass.
Sango sighed. "Houshi, must you do that in public?" she asked trying to get her anger under control.
"But you told me you liked it, remember that night..."
SMACK!!
"You don't' need to tell the hole world." said Sango walking off. MIroku sighed, then followed her holding his red cheek.
"What were you telling Inuyasha to do before we left?" she asked, they had decided to sit under a cherry tree to rest for a moment.
Miroku chuckled "I only told him to say three little words that would make Kagome happy."
"And what would that be?" she asked playing with the rabbits ears.
"I told him to say 'you look beautiful'."
"Knowing Inuyasha he'll do everything possible to avoid saying it."
"To say what?" asked Inuyasha. Him and Kagome were looking at them, Kagome smiling and Inuyasha scowling.
"Nothing" they both said standing up.
"You guys almost ready to go?" asked Kagome "it's getting late."
"Yes were ready." said Miroku.
The group started heading back, this time much more cheerful. Inuyasha and Kagome still had one thing running through there minds. 'My girl'
The group had finally gotten back to Kagome's house. After a good time talking and hanging out in Kagome's room, Sango and miroku left along with Shippo and Kilala, back to their own time. Inuyasha however was sitting high up in the sacred tree while Kagome took a shower.
'Why did I let my instinct over come me like that?' he thought. 'I shouldn't have said that. Now she's gonna be asking me questions. She probably doesn't even feel the same back. I don't blame her I am a dirty half breed.'
'What about Kikyo?'
'What about her?'
'You still love her don't you?'
'No I don't. I used to love her, but she's a memory now.'
'Then you love Kagome,'
'I guess'
'No guesses. You can't guess about love, you either do or you don't.'
'I do. There ya happy I love her.'
'Kagome should know.'
'No she doesn't even like me like that.'
'How do you know?'
'I just do.'
'No you don't, you haven't asked her.'
'So'
'So she could love you back'
'I wish'
'Ask her'
'No I can't'
'Ask her now, this is your chance.'
Inuyasha had his eyes closed, but he could smell Kagome's scent beneath the tree. How he loved her scent. So sweet, it made him melt. He was enjoying her scent so much that he didn't hear her calling him.
"Inuyasha!" yelled Kagome for the third time. Getting annoyed. She said the one thing that could pull him out of his trance. "Sit boy."
Wham! Inuyasha fell from the tree getting a face full of dirt.
"What the hell was that for?" he yelled now very pissed.
"I called your name like three times ..." Kagome was cut off by someone yelling her name.
"Kagome!" came the voice for the shrine stairs. Kagome's eyes widened as she realized who it was.
"Kagome!" yelled Hojo now closer.
"Inuyasha you gotta hide me." said Kagome looking around for somewhere to hide. Suddenly she felt strong arms wrap around her waist. With one quick jump they were in the sacred tree. Just in time too, Hojo had just made it up the stairs. He looked around and then knocked on the door to the house.
Kagome could hear Inuyasha growling and looked up at him. He was giving Hojo a death glare. Kagome sighed and sat on the branch.
"Why are you sitting?" he asked sitting next to her.
"Knowing Hojo he won't leave for awhile, so I guess I'm stuck here." she said crossing her arms. She was in jeans and a t-shirt, but her hair was still wet from her shower.
"Here." said Inuyasha dropping his haori on her head.
"What's this for?" she asked.
"It's gonna get colder." he said leaning against the base of the tree.
"Oh thanks." she said pulling the haori over her shoulders.
They were silent for a long while. Kagome looking at her house and Inuyasha looking at her. Finally Inuyasha closed his eyes. Kagome's scent was just too calming, he couldn't fight it. Kagome was still staring at her house. She didn't have a watch so she couldn't tell what time it was. She was actually starting to get tired.
'Why is he still here? I wish he would just take a hint.' she sighed and looked over at Inuyasha. He looked like he was asleep.
'Of course he can sleep up here. Wow he looks so peaceful.' she thought. Carefully she scooted closer to him. Being very careful as to not wake him, she maneuvered herself so that she could pet his ears. All of a sudden he started purring.
'He purrs?' thought Kagome. Reluctantly she stopped but Inuyasha's hand grabbed her wrist.
"Why'd you stop?" he asked not opening his eyes.
"Sorry I thought you were asleep." she said but was caught off guard when he pulled her into his lap.
"Do it again." he said looking at her.
"Why I thought you hated it when I touched your ears." she said looking at him questionably.
"I lied." he said closing his eyes. His arms were wrapped around her waste making Kagome blush a little.
"Please?" he asked moving his head closer toward her.
Kagome smiled and started petting his ears again. Almost instantly he started purring.
