The last chapter also got a huge amount of love. The review I got was excellent. I loved it. (note the singular) I liked that chapter too...-Akihanah
Notes to the Reviewer-
Cherryblosomz- You are the only person to review the last two chapters. My heart goes out to you.
Disclaimer- I don't own Inuyasha. Rumiko-san does, the lucky lady.
Kodomo: The Next Morning
Sango shivered. The tiny room that she, Miroku, Shippo and Kirara were trapped in had not gotten much warmer. She would probably have frozen if they all weren't all huddled together.
BANG! CRASH! And other noises made by people running around in the dark.
"WITCH! GET BACK HERE!!!"
"Inuyasha?" Sango, Miroku and Shippo all chimed together.
More crashing noises followed. The sounds of sword on sword. A battle. And we will never know what happens in it, because I don't like writing about fighting.
A few minutes later the door to the room was broken down. The four inside blinked and tried to see past the glare of light that entered the room.
"KAGOME!!! INUYASHA!!!" Shippo recovered a little before the others.
"You're both ok!"
"Yes we are Shippo-chan. Inuyasha and I are both alright." Kagome smiled.
"Who were you fighting? And are they dead?" Miroku asked.
Inuyasha growled. "Feh! The witch ran before I could finish her. If it wasn't such close quarters I could have defeated her easily."
"Inuyasha, you take these things too seriously. She'll be back, and you can destroy her then." Miroku chided. Privately he was happy to be alive, and hopefully soon warm.
Kagome looked over the others. They all looked worse for the wear, and the cold obviously was gnawing at them. Sango was shaking, and Miroku looked a bit blue.
"Come on. Lets go find someplace warm to spend the rest of the night."
Shippo stirred slightly. It had taken less than an hour to escape Yukimari's youki induced blizzard. They had finally stopped at a small cave. All of them had curled up on Kirara's stomach. He was curled up in Kagome's lap. He grinned when he saw that Inuyasha was holding Kagome to his chest as he slept
Someone was moving in the night.
Sango was huddled next to Kagome, and Miroku had an arm around her. Shippo's grin widened.
There was a lot of movement last night.
Shippo curled back up; knowing that as soon as Kagome or Sango woke up, hell would break loose.
Though, Kagome was rather warm to Inuyasha last night. I don't think she would really mind if she woke up in his arms. Though, I can expect a good show when Sango awakens.
The kitsune slowly drifted back to sleep.
The morning was beautiful. It was warm, pleasantly so, especially after the blizzard the night before. Birds were singing, and life was going on as normal.
"AHHHHHH!!!! HENTAI!!!!!"
fwap
Yes, life was normal.
Sango glared into the fire. That hentai...
Meanwhile Miroku, freshly handprinted, smiled fondly up at the sky. That was totally worth the pain.
Inuyasha, Kagome, and Shippo stared at them shamelessly. Wonder which one will snap out of it first?
Breakfast passed quickly and quietly. Sango quickly stood up and gathered the dishes.
"Kagome-chan, would you like to help me with the dishes?"
"Sure Sango-chan."
The girls headed off towards a nearby stream.
Miroku sighed. Inuyasha and Shippo continued to stare at him.
"Miroku, you know that you should be nicer to Sango, ne?" Shippo said, breaking the rather uncomfortable silence.
"Eeeeh? Shippo, that would be far too un-normal for him. She would think something was wrong." Inuyasha said.
Miroku sighed again. I am so misunderstood.
Well, that's it for now. I am feeling pretty burned out, but I wanted to put something up. It's definitely the shortest chapter I've ever written. I have rented movies waiting and maybe they will bring me some inspiration.
