Chapter12: Sensitive Ears and Frail Doggy Tails
Inu Yasha paced back and forth. He seemed to be in deep, intense thought and irritation. He was so preoccupied with his thoughts, he didn't even notice Shio watching him from a nearby tree. Suddenly, he stopped pacing and went over to a large log. He picked it up and hit himself in the face with it. He stumbled back and clung to a tree for balance.
Shio jumped out at him, "What's up with that?"
Inu Yasha slumped down in front of the tree and put his face in his hands, "I can't get that kiss out of my mind!" Have you ever had a friend who you could tell anything to and you could trust with everything? That was Shio for Inu Yasha.
"You love her, don't you?" Shio said sitting next to him. "And you have right to. Though she's a human, she's a spunky little bitch in a short skirt. Not to mention how cute she is when she gets mad. It's enough to drive a man mad with amerosity. I'm just surprised you haven't mated with her yet-"
"I DON'T LIKE HER LIKE THAT!" Inu Yasha said.
Shio sighed and stood up. He patted his friend on the shoulder, "Yeah, Buddy. You just keep telling yourself that."
As Shio walked off, Inu Yasha watched him warily out of the corner of his eye.
Of course, Shio knew that Kagome had kissed Inu Yasha in order to get rid of him. Like that would happen! What a silly little human she was for thinking that! Miroku made breakfast again that morning, then they started walking---again. Shippou jumped onto Inu Yasha's shoulder, "Inu Yasha, why is Kagome blind?"
"It's a little late to be asking that, isn't it?"
"Pwease tell me!" Shippou whinned.
"Feh! Go bother Miroku!" Inu Yasha said.
"TELL ME!!" Shippou shouted and chomped down on his left ear.
"ARGH!!!" Inu Yasha let go of Kagome's hand and started trying to pry the kitsune's bear trap teeth off.
"TELL ME!" Shippou shouted with a mouth full of dog ear.
Inu Yasha teared a little and growled, "Baka! Let go, it's sensitive!" he didn't realize that Kagome kept walking on without a leader.
All of a sudden, he heard her stumble and cry out in pain. He ripped Shippou off of his head with no regard for the throbbing pain in his ears.
"Kagome, are you okay!?" he went over to help her up. She weakly started to stand up then gasped. A dropp of blood tricled from the scrape on her knee. "Uh-oh," he said and helped her over to a conveniently close sitting rock.
"Rampart! Rampart!" Shippou ran around shouting. Inu Yasha told him to shut it.
"I have a first aid kit in my bag." Kagome said. Sango went and got it.
"Here." She handed it to Inu Yasha, but he obviously didn't know what he was doing, "Why me?!"
"You're her leader!" Sango said.
Inu Yasha grumbled and opened the box. Luckily there was a list of first aid directions. He picked up a spray bottle and spritzed the wound. Kagome winced in pain. Inu Yasha picked up a band aid and sniffed it. "It smells funny!" then he pulled the plastic off and stuck it on the scratch.
"There." He said and patted her knee.
Kagome blushed.
He blushed too, when he realized what he did. Kagome felt for his hand then smiled at him and said, "Thank you."
He just stood up and said, "Let's go."
Inu Yasha was having a conversation with Mike when the dog nudged him and said, 'Hrr orr er.'
"Look to my left?" Inu Yasha turned to see Kagome and Shio. Kagome had an angry uncomfortable look on her face. Ship whispered something to her that made the evil smile he had more evil and Kagome blush more. A vein popped on Inu Yasha's forehead.
He walked and planted himself in between the two. He squeezed Kagome's hand and gave Shio a dirty look that clearly said, 'Back off! Get your own chew toy!' Shio smiled and went over to bug Sango and Miroku.
Kagome was trying to get the things Shio said out of her mind when Inu Yasha said her name. "Has Shio touched you? Like Miroku, I mean."
Kagome was about to say something when she thought about it. The only time he really did touch her was that time he put an arm around her, and that wasn't really that bad compared to the other things he could've done. "No." she said.
"Good." Inu Yasha said. "Shikon shard or no shikon shard, Shio has always been a flirt. If he ever touches you, let me know, I'll take care of it."
She suddenly felt a huge weight lifted off of her. She felt a lot better knowing she had a protector.
Kagome woke up in the middle of the night remembering she forgot her eyedrops. She sat up and heard Shio's voice, "Couldn't sleep?"
She almost wet her pants, she was so shocked! And the voice was coming from the foot of her sleepingbag. "Were you watching me sleep?!" she said loudly.
He shushed her then to her fear, started to crawl across her sleepingbag toward her. "Don't be so loud, you'll wake everyone up." He whispered. She heard his breathing patterns and judged that his face was at least five inches from her face.
"I was actually thinking of healing you in your sleep." He said.
Great now she had to worry about sleeping! Kagome's voice shook angrily. "You may be a demon, Shio, but I'm not afraid of you! If you don't back off right now, I will raise Hell! I didn't say anything before because you are Inu Yasha's best friend, but I'm warning you, I will scream and sick him on you-"
Suddenly, she felt him put his hands on either side of her face. He placed his thumbed over her blindfold where her eyes should be. He started to chant under his breath. A tingling sensation filled her eyes like they were dilated or something. When he let go, he untied the blindfold.
Kagome shielded her eyes from the fire light, then her vision came into focus. She could see! And better then ever! She looked upon Shio for the first time. (An: From toe to head.....) Shio was a dogdemon who wore sandals. His shoes were expensive and mainly green. He had a long pants tie that was white; white was the other main color that he wore. He was about the same age, size and build as Inu Yasha. He had a tail, it wasn't as long and fluffy as Sesshomaru's though. It was silky, reddish brown and about the same size and width of a major league baseball bat. His face was the best feature of all. He had a heart-shaped face and thin eyebrows that bent suggestively. His hair was long and pulled back into a long, pointy auburn ponytail. Where Inu Yasha had a clump of fluffy white hair in front of his ears, Shio had two, large curled spikes. His ears were longer and wolfier looking then Inu Yashas. Under long red eyelashes, were pretty green emerald eyes, though they had a mischievous glint in them.
He smiled as Kagome stared at him in awe. "I know." He said. "I'm so good, I'm jealous of myself!"
"What?!" Kagome said.
"No matter how beautiful I am, you should remain glued to Inu Yasha." He said. "Me glued to him? Listen-wait! I can see! Wait till I tell him that!" Kagome was stood up to go tell him then froze. She remembered the nice things Inu Yasha had been doing for her lately, that he would never have done when she was normal.
"Are you planning on telling him today?" Shio asked, getting bored of watching her stand. She looked at Shio with eyes filled with emotion. "What's up?" he asked.
"Wh-what if Inu Yasha starts ignoring me and treating me unfairly again?" Kagome said.
"Huh?" Shio raised an eyebrow at her. He stood up and looked at her, "What are you talking about?"
She looked away as if thinking deeply, then back at him, "Shio? Can you not tell Inu Yasha that I'm healed?"
Shio's jaw dropped at her. "I can't believe my ears!" he gasped. Kagome looked at the ground guiltily. "Are you thinking of lying to him?!" Shio looked at her like she was a sinner.
"It'll just be for a little while, I think I deserve at least a little of his appreciation." She said.
Shio looked shocked, "And you expect ME not to tell him! What kind of friend would I be to-"
"What do you want?"
"Weeeeeeeeeeeellllllll..." Shio smiled and put a finger to his cheek. He looked at Kagome and said, "You don't really have a lot that I want, but, I can think of three things you can give me."
Kagome sweatdropped. "What?"
"The first thing is you half of the shikon jewel." He said smiling evilly.
"I wouldn't have to worry about Inu Yasha hating me, the whole group would be on my case! What else?"
"Those bone shaped cookies whenever I want one!" he said.
"That I could probably do." She said. "What's the third thing?"
He grinned until she figured out what it was. "Okay, I'll give you the cookies!" she said quickly.
"Fine." He said. "My lips are sealed. You should appreciate what I'm doing for you. I have to suffer the guilt of keeping a secret behind my best friends back." He put an arm around her shoulder and squeezed it.
Kagome gulped. She was in debited to him. He was probably going to think he could get away with more. Suddenly, Mike woke up. He saw Shio with his arm around Kagome's shoulder and Kagome's discomfort. He growled, charged across the grass and leaped.
CHOMP!!!
Shio's eyes grew to the size of ramen bowls. His mouth became a straight line of pain. He sweatdropped and slowly turned his head to look over his shoulder. Mike growled up at him with his mouth full of Shio's silky auburn tail.
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!"
Everyone woke up to find Mike standing in front of Kagome and Shio clutching his tail and shivering.
"What's all the noise?" Sango asked sleepily.
Shio growled and glared at Mike with tears lining his eyes, "THAT IS NOT A CHEW TOY!" he shouted. Then continued to sulk and cradle his maimed tail. For the rest of the night, Mike wouldn't let Shio near Kagome or set foot within ten feet of camp.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
I guess you could say justice was served in the "end." ^^ BWAHAHAHAHAA!!! I couldn't resist!! *Wipes tears from her eyes* Anyway, don't hate Shio! TT I promise if you don't love him now, you'll love him by the end.
