Turmoil comes in many ways…but in tents??
Chapter 7
Lost and Looking
Kagome and Inu-Yasha were getting dinner prepared, with Kagome humming happily and Inu-Yasha having that small smile at the corner of his mouth. After dinner was prepared, the two of them waited while reading their books for their friends to return. When their dinner was cold, they started to wonder what was keeping the group. By the time it was dark……they were worried.
"Where are they???" Kagome asked expectantly. Inu-Yasha looked up from his book (WAHAHAHA!!! DON'T ASK BUT I JUST GOT THE IMAGE OF INU-YASHA WITH GLASSES ON, SITTING AT A DESK!!! WAHAHA! *ahem*). Actually, let's say Inu- Yasha was pacing. Yea. Inu-Yasha was pacing in front of the campfire wondering how Kagome could remain so calm when their friends were most likely lost and there was a bear out there…wait a sec…
"KAGOME THERE IS A BEAR OUT THERE!!" Inu-Yasha panicked in realization.
"Well, if they have any extra lunch then they can give it to the bear and it will leave it alone!" Kagome responded as if feeding a wild bear when you're lost happened everyday.
"Kagome?" Inu-Yasha looked at her with concern and bewilderment. Then Kagome stopped thinking about Inu-Yasha and earlier that afternoon and snapped back to realization.
"THERE'S A BEAR OUT THERE!" she exclaimed as if she was the first person to think of that.
"Ya! That is what I said!" Inu-Yasha claimed.
"Well then what are we still doing here?? Let's go find them!"
"Wait a sec. Kagome, let's not go and get our selves lost. We don't know where they are—" Inu-Yasha started.
"They don't know where they are either…" Kagome muttered.
"AND KIKYO AND KOUGA are PROBABLY not with Sango and Miroku." Inu-Yasha stated, trying to regain control of the situation.
"k? so we do what do?"
"I'm thinking!"
"Why don't we do what that dude did to find the Minotaur in the Greek myth? Use rope! Tie one end to a tree near by and then keep going!" Inu- Yasha stopped pacing.
"That, is a brilliant idea!" Kagome beamed at the compliment. Inu-Yasha turned and stared at her.
"Where are we going to get ourselves a long length of rope?"
"Oh, I thought we could use the stuff you swung into the lake with." Inu- Yasha stared. (man he does a lot of staring, doesn't he?)
"RIIIIGHT……Like they're lost 50 FEET FROM CAMP!!!" Kagome's smile vanished.
"hmmm…I guess they'd have to be pretty pathetic to have done that…" she observed.
"Yea….What's your point? They aren't lost 50 feet from camp so how are we going to look for them?"
"Well…"
"Oh, let's just wait till morning!"
"WHAT?? MY BEST FRIEND IS LOST OUT THERE IN THE WOODS WITH A BEAR. YOU WANT TO WAIT TILL DAWN??? WELL THAT'S JUST FINE WITH ME!!!"
"It is?" Inu-Yasha looked surprised.
"YUP! I'M GOING NO MATTER WHAT THOUGH!!" as if on cue, a few rain drops plopped down on them. Kagome looked up at the sky.
"Even if it's raining?"
"Shut up……" Then she ran to her…(drum roll) pack and yanked out two ponchos and two umbrellas and two flashlights. She grabbed the blue poncho, umbrella and flashlight and left the hot pink set to Inu-Yasha. Inu- Yasha stared (yet again) in horror.
"I-I-I am NOT going any where in THAT!" he stuttered looking at the hot pink poncho.
"Oh, come on! It's not my fault Sango's favourite colour is hot pink!"
"I'll only go if you switch colours with me!" Inu-Yasha said.
"Well, then I guess you're staying here." Inu-Yasha sighed, defeated. He couldn't let her go on her own, she'd probably try to befriend a poisonous snake. He looked at the poncho and umbrella with disgust but he put it on as it started to rain harder.
"I'll leave them a note incase they find their way back and we aren't there." Kagome suggested.
"Hurry. I wouldn't want to be them, stuck in the rain without their rain gear." Inu-Yasha called to her. This is what Kagome wrote: ::sighs with frustration::
Inu-Yasha and I have gone to look for you. If you get this and we aren't back, we might be lost. Dinner might be cold and wet but I'm sure you can find a way to heat it up even thought the fire is wet. I hope we find you before you find this note and I also hope that we can get back to the campsite.
-Kagome ^^
"Done!" Kagome called as she slammed the cap back on to the pen. She pinned the note to her tent so Sango would see it and tossed the pen into her pack. She ran back to Inu-Yasha who was waiting for her at the fringe of the woods and passed her the pink flashlight.
"Very funny. Gimmy the blue one." Kagome demanded.
"Come on Kagome! You get the blue poncho and umbrella!"
"That would be because they are mine. Now GIVE IT!" Inu-Yasha sighed with defeat and passed her the blue flashlight. She switched it on and Inu-Yasha did the same. Of they walked into the gloom to save their friends…
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I must have chased you around in circles," Sango observed miserably, "cause the trail isn't here."
"And with rain on top of this situation too."
"Good grief. I'm so hungry, I'd eat anything right now."
"Watch what you wish for. I saw some bugs not too far back." Sango scrunched up her face in disgust.
"Eww! You're right! I do need to watch what I wish for!"
"And I'm sure a few of these plants here are edible…" Miroku continued.
"I get it Miroku. Let's keep looking for a trail."
"Have you ever tried dirt? It's disgusting! Of course if you're hungry enough I'm sure it wouldn't be so bad…"
Sango's hands strayed to her willow branch around her waist. Just incase.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"KOUGA!!! IT'S RAINING!!!!"
"I can see that Kikyo."
She sniffled. "I'm hungry too, are you?" Kouga's stomach growled in response. Kikyo sighed. She was miserable. She was wet, hungry and tired too. And she was lost.
"Maybe someone will find us…and then we can go back to camp and have a hot drink to warm us up!" Kouga tried to lighten Kikyo's mood.
"How will we heat up the drink? The fire's gonna be wet…"
"….."
"I'm sorry Kouga, you were only trying to cheer me up." She hugged him and he hugged her back, yet again, all troubles forgotten.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"……….or rocks! Have you ever had rocks? I once played a trick on a kid once. You should have seen his face!"
"I'll play a trick on you if you don't shut up!" Sango muttered. Miroku ignored her.
"hmm…bark wouldn't be so good, especially if it had moss on it. Plus there are bugs under it…"
"AND YOU THINK THAT THERE AREN'T WORMS IN THE DIRT???"
"Leaves might taste good but grass would probably be even better!"
"have you ever had a lemon meringue pie?" Sango absent-mindedly asked him.
"or bugs would be good if you're desperate—huh? No I haven't!"
"You HAVEN'T?? You haven't lived! It is so good!"
"What's it like Sango?"
"If it's been done well, the pie crust is flaky and golden brown and there is meringue on top, and the lemon filling is to die for…"
"Have YOU ever had a death by chocolate cake before?"
"It sounds good!"
"It is so, well, chocolaty! I couldn't even finish my slice it was so rich!"
"I'll bet you haven't had……"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
And Kagome and Inu-Yasha were doing fine, looking off one of the trails (I dunno if that was smart or not…) until Kagome's flashlight went off. Inu- Yasha snatched her flashlight and shoved the pink one into Kagome's hand. She rolled her eyes at him even though he couldn't see her and both of them were aware of the slowly dimming, one remaining flashlight…
