Chapter Notes: Hiyas! Ok, first of all, I purely know, I don't own Inuyasha. O.O Anyway, I have this amazing reviewer, Taeniaea, who reviews very often! *Goes over and hugs and gives her lots of candy* I also have to give my thanks to a very kind reviewer, Wings Dipped in Silver! *Goes over and hugs and gives her candy too!* ANYWAY, all you readers out there, go you! Enjoy! ;)
Kagome woke up with the sun blinding her eyes, causing her to squint.
She sat up slowly arching her back against the tree, stretching. Hearing
her back crack, she realized she had felt cramped up. 'All better' she
thought, sighing in satisfaction. Realization hit her as she recalled last
night's events. 'Oh no! I cried like a little girl, in front of everyone! Over
some stupid emotion, too. That's it! I'm never crying again! Who needs
to see my pain anyway?' Kagome thought, and, to take out her anger,
glared at an innocent squirrel nibbling an acorn. Upon her stare, it
stopped, started twitching it's nose, and ran up a tree with the acorn
stuck in its mouth.
"Ha! Yeah, that's right little buddy! You better run!" Kagome yelled in
frustration at the squirrel who was now staring down at her, safely on
its branch. Its own land.
"Girl, what did I tell you about talking to inanimate objects or yourself?
Yes, that is correct, people will think you are crazy. Get a grip." Kagura
said walking in with her fan flipped open.
"Oh, yes Kagura! I almost forgot." Kagome replied hurriedly, standing
up and brushing off the dirt from her legs. She had the grace to blush
slightly.
"Yeah, yeah. Come on, we are already later than I thought." As Kagura
was talking, she pulled out a feather that expanded. Kagome got on
behind Kagura. The wind, suddenly picked up, and flew them in the air.
By now, Kagome was used to this way of travel, so she didn't mind the
unexpected wind that always seemed to turn on and off.
"Kagura, were do we need to go now?" Kagome asked curiously
peeking over her shoulder cautiously.
Kagura turned her head slightly to answer. Rolling her eyes, she looked
at Kagome's curiously coal black eyes. She could see a shine in them
that showed life.
'Huh, well at least that shows that she's alive someway.' Kagura
thought looking over her body, searching for other signs of life. So far,
she found none.
"Kagura, will you not answer?" Kagome questioned, staring right back
at Kagura's blood red eyes. Averting her gaze, Kagura decided to
answer.
"Huh, isn't it obvious girl? I would have thought that you had figured it
out by now. I think I told you."
"Oh." Kagome simple said, taking her regular position of sitting behind
the wind sorceress, seeing only her back. She folded her hands
gracefully in her lap and was sitting on her bare legs. She unconsciously
brushed her ruffled skirt of blue. Admiring Kagura's emotionless
character, she wondered if Kagura had a time, or painful moment
where she cried.
'Nah. This is Kagura we're talking about. Well, I guess she's not as
emotionless as Kanna. Kanna doesn't even seem human!' Lost in her
own thoughts, Kagome didn't notice the sight that lay ahead of her.
Inuyasha flexed his fingers as they wrapped around Tetsaiga's handle.
He could practically feel the rush as battle as he faced a large blue
demon of some sort. What it was, the group could not tell.
"Sango! Go in from the back!" Miroku shouted getting some soutras
ready.
"I'm on it!" Sango yelled back, looking quite pretty in her battle armor.
"Kirara! Come!"
Kirara leaped over to her mistresses side easily. All in one action Kirara
came over, Sango jumped on her back, and they took off to the
unprotected back of the demon. What they saw when they got there
was unexpected.
Sango glanced around. "Inuyasha! There's more demons behind this big
blue fellow!"
Inuyasha glanced towards where Sango shouted, now gripping Tetsaiga
with two hands, pulling it out. After witnessing the transformation of
the supposed old, rusty sword, he ran towards the monster. "Keh.
Bring it on. I'm in a hurry to save Kagome so move it ugly!" Inuyasha
leaped in the air and sliced the demon with one clean stroke to the
face. After cutting it down to size, Inuyasha realized just how many
demons there were.
"Inuyasha, there's too many! We should retreat then come back later
when we are better prepaired!" Miroku called over, deflecting a blow
from a small, demon runt. After bashing it, Miroku lead the others out
deeper into the forest, away from the piercing sound of screeching of
demons.
"That was more than I expected! There must have been at least a
hundred!" Sango gasped, hunched over against a smooth tree gasping
for breath. The trees as far as they could tell, all had spiky green leaves.
"Keh, I could've taken them all on single handed!" Inuyasha proudly
replied, closing his eyes and turning his head away. He had crossed his
arms and was sitting cross-legged on the grass, but he too was sitting
against a tree.
Miroku stood up and walked over to the top of the hill, looking down.
After first sight of what lay ahead his eyes had a blank staring
expresion. "Inuyasha, Sango, Shippou, Kirara. Come here and look at
this." He called out, never once taking off his gaze over the hill.
"Huh?" Sango said, and the rest of the group came over and spotted
what Miroku was looking at, for it wasn't very hard to miss.
"Naraku's castle." Inuyasha whispered, amazed that this could happen
on such a coincidence.
"Why is his barrier down though? Could this be a trap?" Miroku
wondered out loud.
"Or it could be the time when he loses his demonic powers just like me!
What are you waiting for? An invitation? Come on!" Inuyasha called
out running down the hill at inhuman speed.
"Sigh, we better follow him, Miroku. Hop on." Sango wearily said,
already on Kirara's back. After Miroku got on, Sango, to no surprise,
had to slap him.
"Keep your hands off me you dirty pervert!"
"My lovely Sango, it's the hands fault!"
"Try that excuse one more time and I'll…"
And so our group rushed off to Naraku's castle, with Inuyasha rolling his
eyes at Sango and Miroku's argument.
'I'm coming for you Kagome. Naraku might have captured you. Don't
worry and hold on, I'm coming.' Inuyasha thought with a hard touch to
his thoughts, hating Naraku with every second.
End Chapter Notes: Well? What did you think? Was it crappy or good? Love to know! Anyway, sorry I didn't update for a while. It's been hectic here. Well bye! *Looks over and sees that both Taeniaea and Wings Dipped in Silver staring at all the candy* Yes! It's a years worth of candy!!! Go for it! ;)
