Kikyo was making fire in the middle of the room, (you know like Kaede does). She cooked some vegetable soup in her pot.
She handed a bowl to them, they gratefully ate it. As much as Kagome hated to admit it, Kikyo's food was delicious. She didn't say anything though, she just kept quiet.
Kikyo stared down at the hole in her cabin, "For the hole . . . I'll forgive you this time. I'll let the other assassins deal with it."
She stretched and yawned, "We are going to have to keep moving today."
"That's good," Inuyasha stood up. Kagome pulled on Inuyasha's haori sleeve to help her get up. Kikyo turned her back to him. "Hey Kikyo, why did you choose to help us? I know the ryo isn't all. It might not even be the reason." Inuyasha asked.
Kikyo kept still, "You've always noticed things about me."
"I asked you a question."
"And I choose not to answer it now." Kikyo opened the door, "Let's go."
They walked out of the door. Kikyo was truly no one they can fully trust. Miroku saw Kagome sad, he guessed that it was about Kikyo. He wanted to lighten up the mood. He went up behind Kikyo, feeling pretty nervous.
"What do you want, Monk?" Kikyo asked.
Miroku sweated, he was doing this for his friend, to cheer her up . . . or maybe he was doing it for pleasure? He got his hand ready and grabbed her butt.
Kikyo stiffened.
"What' wrong Kik-" Inuyasha started, but then he saw it. Miroku's hand going up and down Kikyo's bottom. "Miroku, you're dead!" Inuyasha got his fist ready.
Sango saw what he was doing and raised her hand in the air.
But Kikyo beat them to it, she gave him one swift punch and sent him flying about ten feet. "I advise you not to do that again."
"Ye-yes ma'am," Miroku said weakly. Kagome helped him up. Inuyasha was laughing, he just couldn't keep it in. Sango glared at Miroku. Touching another woman's bottom? What an idiot, and it just had to be Kikyo.
Kagome gave Miroku a small smiled, "Are you ok?"
"Y-yes."
Shippo crossed his arms over his chest, "Thats what you get."
Kikyo looked at the group behind her, walking backwards, "Just because I accepted you on my side, doesn't mean either you or I can trust each other." She turned back around to walk forward.
"I think we already, know that." Sango told her.
"Good," was her only response. Kikyo looked over at a village, the one they were going to pass through. Inuyasha kept his eyes glued to her. He knew he loved her, but what about Kagome. And there's the fact that Kikyo changed.
Kikyo was getting quite annoyed, "What the hell are you staring at?!"
"Oops, eh . .hehehe. You?" Inuyasha looked at her straight in the eye.
"Psh, dork."
They walked in the village, there was a man, a sales man to be exact, in the middle of the village. He held up a chunk of rock, "This is the strongest rock that ever existed!! Watch closely."
Two giant muscle men came to his side. Both of the men stomped on the chunk of rock, making grunting sounds.
"See? This rock, not even our strongest man, the general can break it."
The "general" also came to his side and punched the rock, the rock was still in perfect shape. He tried again, still looking new.
"See? Buy this rock for three silver ryo!!!"
Kikyo stared at the man with intensity then at the rock. She started walking towards it.
"Hey, what do you think you're doing? Aren't you going to help us find Naraku?" Kagome asked.
Inuyasha, wanted to see what Kikyo was about to do, he lead his group along the crowd behind Kikyo. Kikyo snatched the rock from the salesman's hands. "I can try." She easily cracked it in to. The man looked at her, shocked, "H-how could y-you?"
Kikyo smirked, "This is a fraud." He walked away without another word. The angry mob attacked the salesman. Kikyo turned to Inuyasha and his friends, "I couldn't bring myself to let those people's money go to waste for that charlatan."
"You're a good person, but you don't want to admit it."
Kikyo looked at him. "Really? I don't know if I should take that as a compliment or a insult." A kitten suddenly stepped in her way, it was white with some little orange and brown spots, it had blue eyes and a pink nose. Kikyo accidentally stepped on it's tail. The kitten screeched.
"Oops . . . stupid cat!" Kikyo was about to kick her, but she wouldn't allow herself to. The small kitten ran away.
"Aww the poor kitty! You don't have to be so . . so evil!!!" Shippo yelled.
Kikyo smirked, "It's not like I did it on purpose. That kitten is lucky to have ran away alive. But that kitten looked fairly familiar."
"YOU!" A man in worn clothes said. He pointed at Kikyo.
"The charlatan." Kikyo looked at him, showing no emotion.
"You took my opportunity to make more money. You'll pay, woman!" The man charged after her and had arms forming from his stomach. "A demon" Kikyo mouthed, not surprised in the least.
Inuyasha stood in front of her and took out his sword, killing the "man" completely. His shirt was ripped where the cut mark was, it revealed a spider mark on his back.
"Naraku!" Kagome yelled. "His minions!"
A kitten jumped on the back of the corpse.
"It's that same kitty from earlier!" Shippo pointed out.
"Yeah, you're right," Kikyo rubbed her chin as if thinking.
The kitten cleared it's throat, "I heard that you seek Naraku."
The goup looked at it surprised, "It can talk!" Kagome said wide eyed.
"Yes I can, now please let me join your group. I also wish to kill Naraku. He has killed every one of us talking cats. I seek revenge." The kitten sat up straight.
Kikyo poked it, "Wow!" She held the kitten tightly in her hands and held it in the air. "Alright, you can come. I'll call you sprinkles!"
The cat looked horror stricken, "But I'm a male cat."
"Then Sprinkles it is!" Kikyo petted it's head.
"Bu-but why sprinkles?!" Kagome asked.
"And why do you get to name it?!" Sango asked.
"Because Sprinkles is a cool name and I get to name it because I stepped on her tail, I need to repay the debt."
The cat frowned, "I'm a male."
Miroku's eyes twitched, he never thought someone like Kikyo would name a cat that. Let alone let a cat join.
Inuyasha glared at the cat, " Cats are losers."
Now it was Kikyo's turn to glare, she threw the cat at Inuyasha. The cat screeched.
"Owwwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!" Inuyasha grabbed the cat and almost threw it to the ground, until Kikyo stopped him. "She's part of our group now."
"I'm a male cat!"
After a while of walking Kagome was a little tired.
Kikyo looked at her, "You look tired, we should rest here."
They got situated on their camp site. "I'll be back." Kikyo told them.
"Where are you going?" Sango asked.
"Does my private life interest you?"
Sango crossed her hands over her chest, "Not in the least."
"Alright then."
"That little . . ."
Kikyo walked away leaving the group behind. Sprinkles rolled into a ball and fell asleep.
Inuyasha kept watching her until she disappeared from his sight.
They fell asleep after a while, they were really tired. Except for Inuyasha, when he saw that everyone was asleep he speed of in search of Kikyo. Oh how he had the urge to be alone with her after a long time.
He felt her scent getting stronger as he glided through the forests, he finally found her. She sat still in the hot springs, sighing and making bubbles in the water with her mouth. She stiffened when she sensed Inuyasha. She quickly ducked in the water. "What do you want?"
"For you to hurry up."
Kikyo eyed him, "Turn around." She signaled him with her finger.
Inuyasha turned around and heard her changing.
"You can look now."
Inuyasha turned around and was greeted with an upper cut. He grabbed her shoulder, she was fully clothed, "What did you think you were doing?!" His jaw hurt from her punch.
"What did you think you were doing?"
Inuyasha's cheeks were flushed, he looked away.
Boy did he look . . . cute that way. No wait, you can't think anything like that, Kik! He broke your heart! Kikyo blushed a bright red for thinking such a thing. She grabbed Inuyasha's chin to make him look at her. They were both flushed.
Inuyasha held her shoulders again, he headed for her lips.
Kikyo looked at him, a bit unsure if this was the right thing.
"INUYASHA!?!?" Kagome called, the girl was deeply worried.
"Gotta hide! Gotta hide!" They both ran around saying it in a hoarse whisper. They heard rustling in the trees. Kikyo almost squeaked, but there was no way she would show that kind of emotion.
Inuyasha grabbed her and he took them both down the water with a splash.
Kagome ran out to the clearing where Kikyo and Inuyasha were just at. "Weird I thought I heard a splash." She walked away.
Kikyo and Inuyasha went up to the surface and took a deep a breath. They got out the water. Kikyo wringed her hair, she looked down her clothes, "Damn, my clothes are wet now! You could've just came out for your lover!"
Inuyasha stared at her angrily, "She's not my lover!"
Kikyo scoffed, "Whatever." It was cold, after all it was a November day. Kikyo tried to fight against it, but her body couldn't help it. She trembled with coldness.
Inuyasha encircled his arms around her from behind. Kikyo felt his hot breath on her neck, she blushed alot harder than how she did just a while ago. Inuyasha smirked at the sight of her like this.
"You're cold too." She spoke up.
"But I'm getting warmer now."
Kikyo stayed quiet, this was what her trainer taught her. If she was ever to be cold and had a partner, they should warm themselves. Body Heat. She has never done this before, it felt good, but she wouldn't admit that.
Inuyasha held her tighter, oh how he loved it when he intimidates her, too bad it doesn't happen everyday.
This whole fic started with a bet. My friend told me that I couldn't make Kikyo mean. But I want to prove her wrong!!! She doesn't like Kikyo that's why she betted that. Don't worry, she's going to be mean, but at the same funny and cool. Peace dudes.
