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 20h one, so please go easy, my facts may be wrong., and I hope some of my spelling is right. Now that the gang has thought about it, they are beginning to wonder why all these strange things are happening and if they have anything to do with the fact Inu has arrived in their lives.
Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha or the characters! But I do own Inu! YEAH! *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~* Chapter 21
Kagome grinned triumphantly as the jewel shards they had just got merged with the partially formed jewel they had collected. She put it back around her neck and turned to see Miroku mutter at prayer. Inuyasha was standing to the side as some of the villagers thanked them for saving them. Sango grinned and nodded as they thanked them. Miroku nodded and gave a small bow. "We have been traveling long and after such a battle we wouldn't mind a nice place to rest and eat." He said.
"Of course. You have children and women with you. You may stay." Said the old man. Sango gave Miroku a look and he grinned innocently. Suddenly, an old lady came up to them and looked at Miroku and Sango before taking their hands.
"Such a promising couple. I shall pray for your family to be blessed." She said. Kagome laughed and shook her head as a shocked Sango and entertained Miroku stood and le he old woman pray for hem.
"Come Inuyasha. We're about to get a nice place to eat and sleep. Why don't you lighten up a bit." She said brightly. He raised an eyebrow at her and looked away. "What's wrong?" she asked him.
'You're going back to your time when we go back to Kaede's village. How are we suppose to get he boy home if you keep leaving?" he asked. Kagome bit down on her lower lip and looked over at Inu who was playing around with some children and Shippo. "He live a completely different life from what I lived when I was his age."
"That's because you hadn't met me yet." Said Kagome, leaning against the tree he was leaning against. He let out a sigh and looked down at her just to meet her gaze. "You worry about the wrong things too much. Why don't you relax and have some fun. I'm staying in my time for one day. Jii-chan is always has this celebration up at the temple around this time and I have to be there," she said.
"Understood." Inuyasha muttered. Kagome grinned and pointed over o where the others were walking.
"Let's go, alright. We've got a lot to discuss." She informed brightly. She pulled him toward the house they were all entering, the old woman that was saying the prayer for Miroku and Sango in the lead.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"We'll be going back to Kaede's village next week. Is that fitting enough?" asked Miroku as they sat in the cabin that they would be sleeping in, discussing their plans. Kagome nodded and sipped her tea. "Perfect. So that gives us enough time to pick up on Miyamoto's trail. We'll have to take some time off from looking for the jewel shards."
"Wait a minute. Kagome is leaving next week?" asked Inu quickly. Miroku nodded. "But she can't! I need her here next week. its very important." He looked down at his hands, which were clutching his pant legs.
"Inu, what's wrong? Can't Inuyasha handle what ever happens next week?" asked Sango. Inu looked up and bit on his lower lip.
"I wouldn't know. I usually stay around my mother during this time." he said quietly. Everyone looked at the boy in confusion as he chewed his lower lip. "I jus need her o be there is all."
"All of next week?" asked Kagome, breaking the long silence that had followed the boy's statement. Inu shook his head.
"Just one night is all. Just like when Inuyasha turns into a human, I go into a form like his present one and I don't like being left alone in that form." Kagome smiled and pulled the boy closer to his side.
"Alright, I'll make this deal with you." She said brightly. He looked up at her curiously. "I'll try to be here the night you transform, but if I don't make it, I'll bring you back a special treat from my time." She said.
"Sugar sweets?" asked Inu excitedly and Kagome laughed.
"Right." She agreed. "Sugar treats." Inu grinned and nodded in agreement to her suggestion.
"Alright, so back on topic. How can we find this Miyamoto guy? He obviously uses other demons to do his work. and I'm sure none of us have forgotten he incident when that human go his hand on a jewel shard and tried to use it to get Sango and Kagome as his wives." Inuyasha informed "Or possessing Kagome. he uses both humans and demons and they never see his face."
"I remember him in a way." Said Kagome.
"You saw his face?" asked Inuyasha. Kagome shook his head.
"No. but I remember he had this cloak on. I was a midnight kind of blue and you could see red glowing from under his hood. It gave you a kind of freaky feeling." She answered with a shiver. "Then his hands were different. One was normal and had claws. but the other looked like it had caught on fire once and it was disgusting." Everyone stared at her.
"You can actually remember that? He possessed you when you saw him didn't he?" asked Sango.
"Well there are certain things that even a possessed person can notice I guess." Kagome muttered. Inuyasha stood out and began walking out. "Where are you going?"
"Don't worry, I'll be back before sunset." He answered and left.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Inuyasha had said he'd be back before nightfall, but Inu didn't want to wait and went to follow the demon as he sun began to set and Kagome and Sango helped some of the village women with the dinner. The boy walked into the forest and hopped through the tree branches. As he walked through the woods, he couldn't help but think things looked familiar. He went up to a rock and examined it. He didn't know why exactly, but he did. "What are you doing all the way out here?" asked a voice, causing him to jump.
"Inuyasha. hi." He said nervously, looking down with guilt. Inuyasha raised an eyebrow at the boy before looking on.
"Kagome is probably worried about you, being away at nigh and all." He said then looked at the boy out the corner of his eye. Inu smirked and sat on the ground, looking at the older half demon with a smirk.
"I can take perfectly good care of myself."
"Feh. From what I hear you nearly got yourself killed by Kikyo and from what I know, you're here because you're responsible for the death of your parents." He said. Inu scowled. Suddenly Inuyasha sat down at his side and looked at the sky.
"You remind me a bit of myself as a kid." he said and Inu grinned proudly at him. "That could be bad in the future."
"Well you'll have a chance to fix that when I'm born." He muttered and began playing with a blade of grass. Inuyasha looked at the sky.
"Are you and your parents close?" he asked. Inu nodded, looking at Inuyasha curiously. He had already told them plenty of things. He didn't want them too know too much. Even if their memories are erased and filled with a new one of their journey with him, he didn't want to tell too much.
"You and mom really love each other.. More than anything in the world." He informed. Inuyasha smirked and shook his head.
"She's incredible, you know." He looked at Inu then looked back at the sky. "Especially if she managed to make something so perfect." Suddenly his ears twitched and he narrowed his eyes in the direction of a tree. Inu looked at him curiously and suddenly Inuyasha jumped up into the trees, grabbing hold of something. When he came back, there was a small impish looking guy struggling in his grasp.
"He looks like Jaken." said Inu, examining the creature, then he looked closer. "Hey. you're one of Miyamoto's guys!" he yelled. Inuyasha smirked and examined the creature.
"What's your name friend?" he asked.
"Tis nothing of your concern half breed." He spat and Inuyasha scowled, putting a hand around it's neck. "Me name is Chiisai." He announced quickly.
"Well Chiisai, you look as though you can be great help to us." Said Inuyasha, flexing his claws in the minion's face.
