Yeah, yeah, here I am. I didn't forget, I just lost enthusiasm. I don't know where this story is leading to...so yeah.
The elder led the group down a long, winding dirt road (no duh, can't exactly be an asphalt road.). It was out of the way and almost out of the village so it took a while to get there.
"Damnit! How long is this going to take?!" Inuyasha complained. The dust was really annoying him. Just then, the hut came into view. The elder stopped. Everyone stared at him. Eventually, most of them realized that that was as far as he was taking them. As I said, most. Inuyasha, dense as usual, kept on wondering why he stood there. Ame was the first to step towards the house. One by one, the rest followed.
The hut was nearly empty. Just a few chairs and a table. A layer of dust covered everything. The windows were covered with grime and the air smelled like it hasn't moved for years. But none of this registered to the group. All seven pairs of eyes rested on the gem.
It, too, was covered with dust. But nevertheless, it glittered like a million dancing fairies (ignore the creepy simile. My teacher is rubbing off on me.) The group stood there, not in awe at how beautiful it was, but tense that the hut was really creepy. Like old guy staring at you unblinkingly in the middle of the night creepy.
"Uh...do you think the elder will mind if I spend some time thinking about how to purify this thing?" Miroku asked. He wasn't expecting something that actually seemed like it needed purifying. Nobody answered, but Inuyasha didn't like the gem. One reason is that it was creepy. But the main reason is that it creeped him out and he HATED admitting that he was creeped out.
"We'll deal with it after dinner, I'm hungry." Inuyasha said, shrugging the tingling feeling off. No one objected and everyone went outside to tell the elder that they'd purify it after dinner. Everyone except Ame. She remained there, drawn to the gem.
"Ame!" Kagome's voice brought her back. She turned and looked at the gem once more before running back to the group.
-couple hours later-
Everyone was sitting there, lounging. Sango was cleaning her Hiraikotsu, Kirara was playing with Shippo, Inuyasha was sulking (about whatever he wants), Kagome was exasperated with Inuyasha, Miroku was thinking about a way to purify the hut while he was trying to grope some villager's butt without Sango noticing (Good luck, Miroku) and Ame sat there, waiting to get back to the hut. Finally, everyone in the village was asleep and the group got up and headed for the hut.
I know, it's extremely short. But i should get something up and i find that every time i update i get about 1 review. Meaning if i cut my chapters short, i get more reviews at the end...right? (Yes, i'm desperate)
