Summer Days
Author's Note: This is my first Inuyasha fic so I may get a few facts wrong since I've just started watching this show from the second episode and so far I'm up to the 13th one, so please go easy. Kagome's life has just been saved by a quarter demon named Inu who has now joined the group and is 5 YEARS OLD! Who knows, maybe with this little boy around things will be a little more interesting.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or the characters! But I do own Inu! YEAH! *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~* Chapter 5
"You don't like kids too much do you?" asked Inu curiously. They had managed to get a new boat and everyone was in the same positions as before, but Inuyasha was awake as the little boy sat at his side, looking at him curiously. "You shouldn't be so sour, it makes people not like you."
"Is that a fact?" asked Inuyasha. The boy nodded and leaned over the front of the boat, looking into the water, his brown eyes wide with excitement. The half demon could feel a small smile tugging his lips as he watched the boy. He couldn't help but to feel it was as if it was a good thing they came across him. Inu began humming a tuned and stuck his hand in the water.
"You really shouldn't let him do that." Said Miroku. Inuyasha looked over his shoulder at the monk who sill had his eyes closed and arms crossed. He opened an eyes and looked at Inuyasha and nodded at the little five-year- old. "There are some pretty vicious fish out here, and I doubt any of Kagome's modern things will be able to put back bitten off fingers." He informed.
"Oh wow! A rainbow fish!" announced Inu and Inuyasha grabbed the boy by the belt of his pants and pulled him into the air just as the fish jumped to bite him. "COOL!" Inuyasha shook his head and sat the boy down.
"Look there's a village ahead. We should take a break and get some lunch." Said Sango brightly. "I think its become a bit cramped anyway."
"We'll never get to our destination if we keep taking unnecessary stops." Said Inuyasha, staring ahead once again.
"Since when is lunch unnecessary?" asked Sango. Inuyasha frowned at her, and looked over his shoulder at Inu, who was looking curiously at the jewel shards that Kagome was holding.
"What do you need them for?" asked the boy. When Kagome explained how everything happened and the shards the boy turned to Inuyasha. "Why are the shards so important to you? Are you gonna use the jewel for some thing?" he asked.
"That's the main objective." Answered Inuyasha.
"What are you gonna do? Like make yourself more powerful or something?" the boy then stopped. "Turn yourself all human?" Miroku opened his eyes and Inuyasha turned away and looked at the sky.
"Did anyone ever tell you ask to many questions?" he asked. He looked over at the boy from the corner of his eyes. He boy lowered his eyes to his lap.
"I'm sorry." He muttered. Shippo finally spoke after his long silence due to being seasick.
"You know, that quick stop doesn't seem half bad right now. We'd get a chance to stretch our legs."
"Once you get over your seasickness." Said Inuyasha and Shippo groaned. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"You should have pulled over sooner, Inuyasha." Informed Kagome as she handed him his now clean clothes that Shippo had thrown up on earlier in the day. She watched him as he pulled his shirt on. "And maybe you should go easy on Inu. He's just a kid." Inuyasha scowled at her.
"He's a pretty nosey kid if you ask me." Said he half demon, then looked around. They hadn't made I to the village, so they were sitting at the riverside. "Speaking of the twerp, where is he?" Kagome looked around.
"Maybe he's just hiding from us. to make us worry and all. Souta use to do hat whenever I yelled at him to make me worry about him."
"We're back!" called Sango and she passed out the fruits she and Shippo had brought back. Miroku grabbed some and began eating. "Maybe you big strong men should catch us some fish, eh?" she said brightly. The guys all looked at her.
"I'm sure you'd love some real food, but this fruit is wearing the energy out of me. Making me tired and all." Said Miroku, yawning. "It's been a long day after all." Sango rolled her eyes.
"Some one should go find Inu. He should have been back by now." She informed.
"Where'd he go?" asked Kagome.
"He said he wanted to go get some food." Answered Miroku. "Myoga went with him."
"And came back without him." Hey all went silent and spotted the flea bouncing towards them.
"Where'd you leave him?" demanded Inuyasha.
"With the bear that decided he wanted us for lunch." Answered Myoga truthfully. Everyone got up and began panicking.
"We'll have to split up and find him now. Hopefully nothings happened to him." Said Miroku and they split up. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"There you are!" announced Inuyasha and jumped into the tree the little boy was sleeping in. the staff he had earlier was broken into pieces next to the unconscious bear on the ground. "No bad." Inuyasha picked up the boy and ran back to where the others were waiting.
"Is he alright?" asked Kagome as Inuyasha placed the boy on he ground.
"He's sleep, that's all." Answered Inuyasha. "I found him up in a tree and the bear was knocked out on the ground with that stick of his in pieces."
"I wonder why he didn't come back to us after he knocked the bear out." Said Sango as the boy began waking up. He eyes flew open and he quickly tried to get away, but Inuyasha grabbed him.
"Where the hell do you think you're going?"
"I'm going away to find my way home on my own!" the boy yelled angrily, struggling in the half demon's grasp. "Now let me go!"
"How'd you expect to get home if you can't defend yourself?" asked Shippo. The boy scowled.
"I don't know, and I don't care. I never stay anywhere I'm not wanted." He informed. Inuyasha frowned.
"What makes you think you're not wanted?" asked Kagome. The boy looked at her sadly, his long thick black hair hanging with his head like a dark curtain.
"Inuyasha doesn't like me. He said I was nosey and I ask too many questions and he called me a twerp." He informed sadly. Inuyasha noticed the looks Shippo and Sango were giving him and frowned. Miroku was just shaking his head.
"Look I'm sorry!" he announced. "Its not like I know anything about kids!" he announced.
"So you like me and want me to stay?" asked Inu hopefully, his eyes shinning. Inuyasha looked around at the others who were looking at him expectantly.
"Sure. I like you." He answered and Inu grinned. Once Inuyasha put him down, the boy hugged him around the legs.
"I like you too Inuyasha!"
