Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha and neither does the writer of chapter 2.
A/N: I really don't know about this chapter... I welcome flames for it. Sorry Christie... won't be on till Monday maybe. Might be on tomorrow. Doubt it.
So they left, their irritated half Youkai, running up ahead his claws elongated due to the enticement of the scent of his prey, he was going to take the man down, suddenly a new smell met his nose... his prey had a friend. "Sesshomuru. SESSHOMURU! COME ON GUYS!" He called and rushed onward at a pace that left them all running to catch up, none of the others would say a word except for their young kitsune who would not shut his mouth.
"Why is everyone so quiet?! Why ?" They had just stopped and were remaining quiet to give Inuyasha concentration, but of course he seemed to understand that as much as he would understand a computer. "OW!" As usual Inuyasha's fist connected with the kitsune's head. "He's working with him still... Sesshomuru... I'll never forgive you traitor... YOU HEAR ME SESSHOMURU!?" In an angry rush he shoved the kitsune from his path and swung a wild fist, it connecting with the nearest tree making it shudder on its foundations.
The continued onward the whole day not a sign of Sesshomuru came until late that night when they were all asleep, except for the lovable Shippo who lie staring out into the dark. As bold as can be Sesshomuru entered their camp site and took a piece of their food, which lay cooking over the fire for a midnight snack for the hunger ridden Shippo. "Sesshomuru seemed not to have seen the awoken Demon until he began crawling towards Inuyasha. "Don't wake my brother kitsune, if you value your life." Suddenly, in a confusing moment of movement, Kagome whom they all thought was asleep, burst from Inuyasha's arms and had an arrow aimed at Sesshomuru.
"Drop that! And get out of here before I do wake him." Shippo said, now sounding very daring indeed. Sesshomuru ignored it and went on, until all the meat was gone from the bone, then he stood and turned to leave, mind games, nothing more. His way was blocked however by Miroku, who was still in an odd mood, not exactly foul, like the one form before, but protective. "And where exactly do you find yourself going Sesshomuru-san?"
Eyes closed now he walked around Miroku and off into the night. Growling Inuyasha mumbled in his sleep. "Kagome...", and that was it, the ones whom were awake burst out laughing. The tension having just been pierced by one word, they each resumed whatever they were doing and temporarily forgot about Sesshomuru. Kagome snuggled up against Inuyasha and closed her eyes, Miroku continued polishing his staff and then went to sleep himself.
Shippo however continued to stare into the night his sleepiness temporarily forsaken in that could dreary waste land. He had no desire to sleep or to even feint sleep, and that was the truth. However, some hours later he was asleep along with the rest of them and they woke to a clear morning. "So why didn't you guys wake me up?" Kagome's head snapped up from their meal. "You were awake!?" Inuyasha grinned chibi-ishly. "Of course, I smelled my brothers scent a mile away." Suddenly Kagome reached over and smacked him. "YOU JERK!"
Shippo groaned. "When will he ever learn?" Inuyasha didn't hear this thankfully and all the trouble went away within half an hour. Thus, it was a peaceful walk for a while until an irritated Inuyasha began to call for them all to hurry up. To quail his anger Kagome grabbed his hand and pulled herself against him as they walked. "Tonight Inuyasha... we're going to have some real fun."
Inuyasha turned red. "Are you blushing Inu-sama?" He looked away and walked up ahead a bit. Kagome turned to Sango who winked. "He was blushing." Miroku said in his usual calm voice, that was so out of place in a situation of this sort. "You must be quiet talented to be able to make the half demon turn red." Kagome took her turn to give an apple a run for its money. Her hand went self-consciously up to the jewel shard around her neck
she couldn't help as she watched the young Inuyasha run, his hair sway8ing peacefully around his strongly built shoulders. His red clothing the red of courage, of strength, of roses, and roses ultimately represent love. There was no denying the feelings they shared, nor the fact that to her, he was the only thing that mattered, save Souta, who Inuyasha had already saved three times. She was missing him, she realized, she didn't really miss her mother, whom no one knew occasionally drank, and beat poor Souta when she did. This would be revealed eventually but that's a story for another day.
