SECRETS
"What are you waiting on! Hurry up!"
"Will you chill out a second please?? A girl can only walk so fast!"
"Hmph.. stupid..stupid girl..mweh.."
Sango and Miroku shook their heads, Sango chuckled.
"They never change, do they?"
"Not one bit." Replied Miroku with a feindhish twinkle towards his traveling companion. Sango rolled her eyes and batted her eye brows towards him, and when he fluttered a momment in surprize, she sent him sprawling with the back of her head to his shoulder.
"What the..? Hey!" As Miroku lands near Inuyasha's feet, the hanyou glances down before back up to Sango with an eye brow arched, before again, back to Miroku. "Lecherous monk.."
"All I did was give her a look.." He shrugged as he dusted himself off, standing upright once more, seeying Sango adjust the boomerang upon her back, the young priest heh'' and moves to walk beside of Inuyasha, who dosnt so much as blink his way.
"You really need to get a life…"
"I have one thankyou."
"Not a good one."
"Why you.."
"Boys!"
Both guys twisted their heads about to see Kagome coming up beside of Sango, and she didn't look happy.
"Inuyasha, lets rest, we have been walking /all/ day afterall."
"What if I don't want to?"
Kagome rolled her eyes, Sango knew what was coming and grinned. Inuyasha raised an eye brow, before his expression faded.
"Ah no, don't you d-"
"Osuwari!"
Thud. Down he went. The whole group began to laugh as a small orange puff escaped the confines of Kagome's pack.
"Hey! Just because you pick on Inuyasha dosnt mean you have to pick on me tooo! I was in yer backpack Kagome!" The young kitsune wailed.
"Im sorry Shippou, really."
"Its okay!" Shouted the young fox, bounding over and into her arms. Miroku came over to stand beside of Sango, as Kagome glared towards Inuyasha, waving her finger threateningly.
"Want me to do it again?"
Swearing underneath his breath, the dog demon grumbles as he rises, wiping the dust from his bright red kimono with a deathly stare towards Kagome.
"Don't wave yer finger at me, I cant help it if yer all pathetic and cant stand to walk more than a few hours!"
He crossed his arms and hmphed, snorting, he leaps high onto an overhanging tree branch, and nested there. "We move in one hour." With that, he laid his back against the trunk, and closed his eyes. Sango and Miroku gladly settled down and began a conversation all their own as Kagome sighed, and glanced upwards, towards Inuyasha. Shippou nuzzled into the side of her face, now perched atop her shoulder as he followed her starry eyed glance.
"What ya lookin at Kagome?"
"Oh nothing.."
"If you say so.." With a blink, the small kitsune lept off of the raven haired girl and trots over towards the other two parties within the group. Smiling at him, Kagome turns back towards Inuyasha. If only you wernt so pig headed, and stubborn, things may go smoother.. thought the girl. Moving her eyes away, she found a nice spot where the roots were growing above the ground, creating a nice nook she could settle in for the time being, and settled down, closing her own eyes. Soon, the entire group was napping, all save ofcourse, Inuyasha.
As soon as shed moved below him and dozed off, he was wide eyed and watching for anything out of the ordinary, it was his duty to protect her, and protect her he would. A sideways glance towards Mioku and Sango, with Shippou sleeping inbetween, it was amazing how trusting Sango was.
"Ouch! Hey!" nevermind.. Inuyasha had to grin rather wickedly as he watched Miroku try to make a move on the sleeping Sango, only to be whacked upside his head. Pathetic humans.. intertaining. Golden amber;s pierce the afternoon as the sun's rays flicker through the thick canopy above and reflect off of his bright, mysterious eyes, making them flash. He watched her, watched Kagome for a few minutes without even so much as a blink, before he sighed, and as he went to turn away, she fidgeted and whimpered. Wha? With a quik twist of his body, he was down the trunk in an instant and watching her curiously, she was only dreaming. Hmm, wonder what of. He tilts his head slightly, continuing his study, before she suddenly awakens with a start.
"Ack!" Instead of sitting him, she threw her arms out, connecting with his chest and sending him backwards.
"Gah!" With a thump as he nearly went rolling down the hill this tree just happened to be sitting on, he growled softly and once more, stood up and scurried over to her.
"Ya know, you have a real bad problem of punching the ones who care about you!" He snapped. Kagome blinked, and quikly turned around, truly astonished their little sherade hadnt awakened the others. Whoa, they must have been just as tired eh?
"Hey, you listening ta me!? Kagome!"
"What!?"
"Are you listening??"
"How can I not? You never speak lower than a shout!" She emphasized the last word. Inuyasha grumbles.
"You stupid girl, if nightmares disgruntle you so much, don't dream um!"
Kagome frowned and curled her upper lip slightly as she stared blankly at him. Did he just say what she thought he said? And he was calling her pathetic..
"You cant will your dreams Inuyasha." She explained, keeping her civil tongue. Inuyasha was about to say something, but thought against it, and climbed back up onto his limb.
"Don't wake me again."
"Wouldn't /dream/ of it!"
"Mweh." With a grunt, he settles into himself, folds his arms into the sleeves of his kimono and huffs. Why did it seem they could get along so well one momment, and completely against each other the second? Sometimes it didn't make sence, and for one, Inuyasha was terribly confused.
*There he goes again.. sulking. Geez, my brother /is/ More mature!* Shaking her head slowly, she walked back over towards the group, and settled down alongside them. Shippou mumbled something and scurried over towards Kagome in a hurry, the girl pulling him into her arms as the tod fell back to sleep. She set there, and sighed. *He seems stressed over something.. hes usuelly not this pushy.. Wonder whats wrong?* A tilt of her head in thought. * I know.. im gonna get his mind off of whatever hes thinking.. cheer him up? Maybe..* And with that, she grins to herself with a nod, and falls to sleep.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
"Inuyasha?"
Nothing..
"Inuyasha!"
"Hrm? Wha.. ack!" Pulling himself from his slumber, he landed with a hard thud upon the ground infront of Kagome, crouched down, claws bared. "What is it!? Whats wrong??"
Kagome blinked and merely stood where she had been, and folded her arms with a tilt of her head.
"Nothing;s wrong, you overslept! Its been uhm.. four hours?"
"WHAT!?"
"Don't shout!"
"I have every right to shout, why didn't you wake me up!"
"Me!? I was sleeping! It was /your/ job to wake us all up you know!"
"Nani??"
"Don't /nani/ me!"
"There at it again.." Yawned Sango, Miroku meakly nodded as Shippou crawled over onto Sango's lap.
"Mrr..why do they always have to fight for?" whined the fox.
"Because its what makes them, them." Replied Miroku. Sango shrugged and Shippou blinked.
"Well, they could cool it every once in a while.."
Miroku and Sango only laughed softly at the small kitsune.
*He must have been more so tired than we were, to be that sleepy…* thought Kagome as she watched Inuyasha a momment, him twitching under her stare.
"Err, baka.. what are you starin at?"
"Not, sure." Inuyasha's eye brows arched as his pupils narrowed. What did she just.. growing red faced, he grimiced and looking as if he was going to blow up, quikly turned about, his back to her.
"Feh.. hakoirimusume."
"What?"
"You heard me. Leave me alone! We move out in ten minutes, /ten/ minutes!"
"Well huff huff to you to!" Kagome snaps, only to have Inuyasha walk off without a word. Turning around herself, the raven haired school girl shuffled back to her friends.
"Kagome, that was a bad fight."
"Huh? No it wasn't Shippou, weve had worse."
"But it was worse than your normal fights.."
*Hes right.. * "Nah, your imagining things kid!" She chuckled, trying to livin the group, it didn't work.
"Come on, you two are really going it it lately, whats wrong?" asked a very concerned Sango, Miroku even looked dazed. Kagome shrugged.
"I don't know, hes been like this the past three days, I cant get near him, and hes been cracking a lot of harsher jokes than before. Its like hes trying to push me away from him.." She seemed heartbroken.
"Aww common, cheer up, im sure he dosnt realize hes-"
"Yes he does, he realizes it alright, he means to, he wants me gone! Im beginning to think he dosnt care about me any more, and we were.. we were getting so close!" She sniffled slightly, Shippou clambering about untill he set upon her left shoulder, wiping away a small tear that stained her pretty face.
"Don't cry Kagome!" Whined Shippou. Sango came over to hug her friend.
"Don't worry, something has been eating at him, I can sense it, your not the only one hes been trying to push away kagome."
"Sango's right, but he certainly has been a lot angrier with kago-"
"Miroku!"
"Dah!" With a thunk to his face by the demon hunter's fist, he rubbed his jaw and frowned slightly.
"Do us a favor and keep quiet, please." Miroku merely nodded.
"See? Even /hes/ noticed it! Its hopeless, im going home."
"Kagome! But ill miss you to much!"
"We will all miss you.." Sango added, but didn't make any move or say any words to try and make her stay, it was her friend's decsion, no one could stop her. Kagome sighed.
"Ill stay untill tomorrow, then im going home for the week. I need a break, maybe that will give Inuyasha time to loosin up."
"Maybe." Miroku added as he steared clear of Sango. Nodding, all three sighed in unison as Shippou remain quiet, unusual for the small tod.
"Time ta go!" came the all to familiar ring of the hanyou's vocals.
"Yeah yeah, were coming!" Returned Kagome, placing her shoes back on and prancing up towards him, only to have him huff and begin to walk forwards again. * /what/ has gottin /into/ him?? * She watched as his figure began to get smaller as he descended the hill. "Hey, wait a minute!" no reply.
Blast it! As Sango and Miroku came round the corner, they looked to one another as the small tod raced forwards and dived for Kagome's bag, making Kagome almost fall head over heels into the grass. Inuyasha's ears twitched, but he made no move to aid her. Kagome sneered and wrinkled her nose. Fine, cant wait till tomorrow…
