A Different Role
Chapter Nine: Hunting Auras
Inuyasha touched his cheek. He looked at the girl who smiled a half smile and giggled nervously.
He growled. That... that bitch... she... slapped... him?
***
Inuyasha was angry, Kagome knew. He tried to hide his feelings, but before that they rushed to his face. There was surprise, anger, and hurt.
She took a step forward, and stretched her hand to his cheek hesitantly. "I'm... sorry... eep!" She ducked as Inuyasha dived for her. In the midair, he lost his balance, and fell face kissing dirt.
***
Damn, he thought. Now I can't even do this straight?!
***
Jaken stopped and dropped his body to the ground, doubling to make his breathing easier. He panted, and panted, and panted... until he stopped. That was the time when he sat. "No time. Sesshoumaru-sama is counting on me!"
He stood up, and continued to run.
***
Inuyasha sat under a tree, looking at a far off point, sulking.
"Inuyasha~" Kagome told him. "Why are you sulking?"
Now his face was turned to the leaves of the tree.
"Ne~! Inuyasha~!" She nudged him. "I feel something~!" And then she understood what she said. "Inuyasha! I feel something!"
"Do you feel your brain leaks out?" He muttered.
Kagome frowned. "That's not funny! We're here to look for shards, and you try to kill me! Then you sulk, and then when I feel something, you don't even blink!!!"
Inuyasha turned his face ay her, blinked, and turned it away again.
"Mou! Inuyasha~!!!"
Inuyasha stood up. "Get on my back."
"Eh?" Her mouth opened in confusion.
"Get. On. My. Back." He smirked.
Kagome shook her head. "Ah, oh, oh! Ok..."
***
Kagome could barely see the trees. Well, she could see them, but she couldn't tell where a tree ended and where it started. If he would just stay in one place for a while longer... she would be able to notice the lines of the trees.
She didn't have other things to look. Inuyasha ran faster than before, probably the fastest pace that he could reach to while she was on his back. He also ran between trees, and that was partially the reason why she saw only trees.
She shook her head. His running entered her brain to a slow and silly thinking.
Inuyasha suddenly jumped high in the air without warning her. She didn't have the time to respond it by tightening her hands {on what? His neck?} so she stayed wide-eyed for more than one moment before sighing, relieved.
When he stopped, she needed some more time to adjust her legs to the ground.
"Having fun?" He asked.
She glared at him. "You'd wish."
"Never!" He snickered.
She opened her mouth to answer him with something smart, but her attention was snapped away from him to a different place, where that feeling was the strongest. "There," she said.
Inuyasha stared at her wide-eyed. He expected her to say something like 'baka'. Not 'there'. "'There' what?" He asked, puzzled.
"There!" She insisted. "I feel it from there!"
***
Jaken felt like he could cry. Inuyasha and hat human were there! There! Here was the sole of the bitch's shoe! And Inuyasha's footprints! And if he looked even further, he could see the prints of Inuyasha's face!
Wait... Inuyasha's face?
Something wasn't right here...
He sat and tried to relax. They will come back for him.
They will.
Will they?
***
"Do you see something?" Kagome shouted behind the bushes.
At the moment they searched at the point where Kagome felt something weird. "No! You?"
He could hear her sigh. "No..."
Fuck it, Where is that thing that we're looking for?!
