PART 4 TEMPER
The next morning Inuyasha, Aijou and Co got up early and once again began their search for the shards of the Sacred Jewel. The first thing Kagome had done the next morning was make the mistake of trying to take the shard Aijou had gotten from the bear last night away from her. Aijou had glared at the girl and had flat out refused, saying Kagome had no right to touch the shards. Kagome had tried to argue with her but Inuyasha had told her to just forget about it. As long as they had the shard it did not matter who had it. The school girl began to protest but thought better of it and just said nothing instead she walked beside Inuyasha, but way too close in Aijou's mind.
She'd better keep her distance, the Priestess thought glaring holes into Kagome's back. If she even tries to throw herself at him...
Sango and Miroku saw Aijou's face turning red with anger. She clenched and unclenched her fists as she walked and her breath came out in angry puffs.
"Aijou looks like she's about to
erupt," Sango whispered to Miroku.
"I definately see a
similarity," Miroku said looking at Aijou then up and Inuyasha.
"They both have the same tempers."
"What did you say, Miroku?" Inuyasha demanded looking over his shoulder at the monk.
"Oh, nothing," Miroku lied smiling goofily. "You're hearing things again."
"Hmm," Inuyasha humphed looking away. "It had better be nothing."
"You'd better not get him mad again," Sango adviced Miroku. "It wouldn't be a good idea."
"Don't worry," he told her. "I won't."
That's when Miroku noticed something about Aijou that he should have noticed a lot sooner. He was a pervert after all and it should have been the first thing he'd notice. She had a perfectly shaped ass. It was just asking to be stroaked and Miroku was happy to ablige. Without thinking of the consiquences he reached out his hand...
Aijou felt a very uncomfortable feeling
on her rear. Stiffening she realized somebody was touching her. She
glanced sharply over her shoulder. She saw that monk, with a totally
toothy smiled grin on his face stroaking her. Instantly her temper
snapped.
"CUT THAT OUT, YOU PERVE!" she screamed
turning on him.
Miroku's face turned to one of utter horror. But before he could get away Aijou raised her dark blue pant leg and slammed it down hard on top his head, knocking him into the ground so hard his body created a hole.
Everyone one stopped in their tracks. "What's going on?" Inuyasha asked looking over his shoulder. "Huh?"
He saw Miroku had been driven into the ground. He also saw Aijou standing angrily over him using her leg to drive him in farther. "DON'T YOU EVER TOUCH MY BUTT AGAIN!" she was screaming as she punctuated each word with another slam of her leg. "DO YOU HEAR ME?"
"What's going on?" Inuyasha asked looking at Sango.
The demon slayer gave a helpless gesture and shrugged. "He touched her butt so she lashed out," she replied. "She is punishing him."
"Is that all," he said his eyes becoming two little lines.
"Don't you think you should make her stop, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked poking her head around him.
"Why should I?" he asked her. "He deserved it."
"Yeah, but still..."
By that Aijou had already stopped. "Let that be a lesson to you," she growled down at Miroku. "If you can't treat a girl with respect keep your distance!"
"Okay okay," he said as pushed himself out of the ground. "I'll stay away!"
"Good," she said walking away from him. "I wouldn't want to kill you, monk."
She walked over to Inuyasha and Kagome. "Move," she said grabbing Kagome by the arm and pulling her away from Inuyasha. "It's time you detached yourself." With a rough jerk on the girl's arm she yanked Kagome away from her father and flung her into Sango and Miroku.
"What did you do that for?" Kagome demanded when she got her balance.
Aijou glared at her. "You just stay away, okay?" she said. "Stay away and we won't have any problems. It's very simple. Why don't you get it?"
"Hmph," Kagome huffed. She looked at Inuyasha. "Inuyasha?"
"Drop it, Kagome," he told her. "It doesn't matter." then he turned away from her and started walking. Aijou's face returned to its normal expression. She turned as well and went after her father.
"Well that was interesting," Miroku said as he got up.
That statement angered Kagome. "No, it wasn't!" she shouted. "He should have told her to stop being mean to me! Instead he just says "Drop it, Kagome"! Who does he think he is?"
"Kagome..." Sango started to say.
"Well, I won't let him get away with it!" she screamed.
"Kagome," Shippo said from her shoulder.
Kaghome wasn't listening. She took a deep breath and shouted at the top of her lungs. "SIT!"
WUMP!
Inuyasha slammed hard into the ground. "Father?" Aijou said looking down at him.
"SIT! SIT! SIT!" Kagome continued screaming.
Aijou looked back at Kagome sharply. Everytime she shouted 'Sit' Inuyasha would go further into the ground. Aijou had no idea how that worked but the thought of that girl having some sort of power over him angered her.
"STOP THAT RIGHT NOW!" Aijou screamed storming toward the girl.
When Kagome did not obey Aijou snapped and lunged at the school girl, knocking her to the ground.
"KAGOME!" Miroku exclaimed as Aijou began to lay a number on the girl's face.
"We have to get her off Kagome!" Sango told him.
Which is exactly what they did. Miroku got ahold of Aijou and yanked her off Kagome. Sango knelt down and helped Kagome up.
"Let me go!" Aijou shouted at Miroku. "I refuse to let her get away with ordering my father around!"
"Calm down," Miroku told her.
"I will not calm down!" she tried to get at Kagome again who screamed. "Don't let her come near me!"
By that time Inuyasha had gotten back up. "What's going on?" he asked.
Kagome instantly flung herself at him. "Oh, Inuyasha!" she wailed clutching his robe. "That demon tried to kill me!"
"I did not!" Aijou protested glaring at the school girl. "I was just teaching her a lesson."
"What for?" he asked looking at her.
"She got mad so she took it out on you!" she replied.
"Huh?"
"She's mad about something so she used her ashi powers on you!" she explained pointing an accusing finger at Kagome. "She should not be allowed to have that kind of power over you!"
"I agree with you on that," he said knowing exactly what she was talking about. "But what can I do?"
Aijou had no answer to that. She had no idea how Kagome had even aquired that kind of power over her father but she vowed to find out. And when she did she would stop it.
Kagome still wanted something of her. If Inuyasha wasn't going to do anything she should at least get the girl to say she was sorry. "Say you're sorry," she said.
Aijou glared at her. "For what?" she demanded.
"For trying to kill me."
"I didn't try to kill you and I am
not sorry so get over it. You're not always going to get your way,
bitch. I'm not going to apologize."
"Hmm," Kagome
humped. she almost said 'I'm going home' but didn't since she knew if
she did Aijou would win and she didn't want her to win. "Fine.
Whatever." she looked at Miroku. "You can let her go now."
Miroku was happy to do so. He dropped his arms and Aijou walked away from him. "Thank you," she said sarcastily.
Then she started to walk away but not before she had one last word with Kagome. She got real close to the girl's face, so close Kagome had to take a step back. "If you ever do that again," Aijou hissed stabbing a finger into her face. "I will kill you!"
Meanwhile somewhere else but not too far away a certain Priestess was sitting by a river staring at her own reflection. What she saw staring back at her was a beautiful yet sad face with raven black hair, brown eyes, and pale skin made of clay. The image saddened her. She closed her eyes as she brushed the image away, scattering it into tiny ripples. I miss him... was the only thought in her head the last few days. But does he miss me?
Suddenly she heard a voice and looked up. She saw her soul collectors coming out of the trees. Standing up she raised her hand and they all flew around her. The closest one whispered something into her ear.
"What?" she said surprised at what she had just heard. "She's with him? They are together?"
The collector whispered something else that saddened her slightly. "He refuses to admit any connection to her..."she closed her eyes. "Hmm." She opened her eyes again and smiled to herself. "Well then let's help him along a bit, shall we?"
Picking up her bow and arrows the Priestess sent her minions back into the forest. "Time to see how she ended up after all this time," she said as she ran into the woods. "I wonder who she's most like? Inuyasha or me?"
A/N
I hope this chapter was okay.
Someone wanted Kikyo in this chapter so I came up with something. Someone else also wanted some fluff between her and Inu but you'll have to wait a little longer. Can you do that? Anyway, I also want to put Sesshoumaru into the fic but it will be a bit hard to do that right now. I need a few ideas on how he'd end up in here. Heh. That's it for now. One more thing "Ashi" means evil.
