Chapter 3: Try Again, Miss Persistant
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sango closed the door of the church and walked down the steps. Kikyo was sitting down peeling persimmons for them to eat later. Across from her Kagome sat with her head bowed and her eyes closed. Sango thought she actually looked quite constipated and it was disturbing to see her look so glum. "Kagome are you alright?" she asked.
Kagome shaped her hands into fists and pounded the earth in front of her. "I HATE HIM!!" she shouted. Her voice shook like she wanted to cry but was holding herself back. "He's so mean! I hate him so much!"
Kikyo set a naked persimmon in the bucket and picked up another one to peel. "You don't have to put yourself through this, you know that right? If you want you can quit now, Sango or I could-" "No!" Kagome looked up at them with determined unfallen tears lining her eyes. "I will be the one to purify him! I won't be able to live with myself if I don't!"
The sisters looked at her for a few seconds then Kikyo smiled and said, "Good girl! You've got spunk."
Sango smiled too and sat down with them. "Okay, but we're here if you need us!"
Kagome smiled. She was lucky to have sisters like them. "Thanks guys!" she hugged them then they sat down and started making lunch together. Kikyo peeling persimmons, Sango stripping roots and veggies, and Kagome mashing greens.
Kagome looked up at Sango. "So? What do you think of that monk at the temple? Miroku, wasn't it?"
Sango frowned as if remembering an ingrown hair. "He's a sicko, I hope you're not considering him."
"No, I was just asking if YOU were!" Kagome asked.
Sango looked up at her shocked. "What?? Me and the perv? No way!"
"I don't know!" Kagome said in a little sing song voice and smiled. "He's kinda cute, and you and him look REALLY cute together!" ^_~
Sango blushed and pretended that the next root that she skinned was Miroku's neck, "Oh please! Spare me the matchmaking little sister!"
Kikyo laughed lightly at their girly conversation then looked down the hill. She pointed with her pen knife and said, "Hey. Isnt' that him down there?"
"Huh?" Kagome and Sango looked down at what she saw. Miroku had just sat down with a basket under his arm. He yawned and scratched his shoulder before pulling out a large hot bun from the basket. Then the demon Inu Yasha from the temple came walking over. He stood next to the monk. Miroku looked up at him, smiled, tore the bun in half and gave a half to him. Inu Yasha sat down next to him and took a huge bite of it.
"What's he doing with that demon?!" Sango asked.
Inu Yasha looked at Miroku as the monk said something then they both laughed.
"They appear to be friends." Kikyo made an astute observation.
Kagome gasped. "So THAT's why he didn't help us exorcise him! Because Miroku is friends with Inu Yasha!"
They backed off then Kagome jumped to total alertness, "Wait a minute! He's down there! He's left the temple!" she looked around and her mind raced. She had to hurry back to the church! This was her chance to seal him outside of it! She dropped everything she was doing and went running back as fast as her sandaled feet could carry her. She saw the church in front of her, and her pace quickened, then when she was about to enter, Inu Yasha jumped in front of her. She skidded to a stop and looked at him like he was a living breathing death threat. (And he probably was.)
He just smiled at her and said, "Going somewhere?"
"I-I-" she stuttered.
"Thought you'd seal me out did you?" he asked. "How obvious. I can smell your frantic scent a mile away!"
She took a step back, why was he so intimidating? Why were his eyes so big and red, why was his face so beautiful??
He snorted and leaned forward so that their noses where almost touching. He whispered, "Why are you still standing here?"
She gulped and he smiled showing his fangs. Then he let out an inhuman shriek, scaring her out of her mind.
She screamed and threw herself backwards. She slid down the steps of the church on her back. At the bottom she moaned in pain. "My back!" she whined. She looked up the steps at him where he was cackling evilly.
"You can never beat me priestess!" he said.
She sat up and frowned at him angrily. "I will beat you! And my name is not 'priestess!' It's Kagome! Ka-go-me!"
He chuckled and said, "Well, Ka-go-me. Why don't you just gather up your little exorcist toys and run along home!" he pivoted on his heels and went into the church.
She was able to stand up, luckily. Nothing broke in the fall. Well folks, most girls would have quit by now saying that that demon Inu Yasha was a stubborn jackass and it wasn't worth it. But Kagome had other plans in mind. She started back to her camp. After lunch, she would try again.

Miroku went around the church lighting candle wicks. He looked over at the little set up Kagome had. Several candles were placed around her. She had her scrolls set out and a new piece of charcoal for calligraphy. She sat on the floor writing more scrolls as Miroku came over. "You okay over here, Lady Kagome?" he asked.
She nodded. "Yeah, thanks Miroku." She blew on the fresh ink of a scroll and set it down. Then as he was starting to walk away she called, "Wait!"
He turned to smile at her.
"Why are you friends with that demon? Inu Yasha?" she asked him.
He merely shrugged. "I don't know, he seems like a pretty nice guy once you get to know him." And with that, he walked away to another room in the temple.
Kagome sat there in the ominous quiet of the church until she felt a tug at the back of her hair. She turned around quickly and there Inu Yasha sat, smirking as usual. He seemed to have some strange fetish for touching her hair.
She turned a little bit to face him. "What do you want?"
His eyes glittered mysteriously. "Oh, many things." He said with a smirk.
She sweat dropped and turned back around a little bit, staring warily at him. Kaogme seriously didn't trust him.
After a few seconds he got up and went to sit in front of her. She tried to ignore him and make her scrolls, but it's very hard to write demon sutras while a hottie is sitting in front of you watching intently. (AN: Believe me, I know.)
He leaned forward as if interested. He pointed at the scroll rolled out in front of her. "What's that for?" he asked. She looked from him to the scroll, then said, "That's my exorcism scroll. Most of it is extra added in runes, the most important parts are the beginning and the end." She went back to her scrolls.
He sat staring down at the exorcism scroll. He looked up at her for a couple of seconds, then back down at the scroll. "Oh." He said. A few moments later he pointed at the red candle next to her scroll. "Why's this candle different from the others?" it was the only red candle, the other candles around her were white.
She looked up at him then the candle, then back down at her scrolls. "That represents you."
Pause of silence.
"Oh." He said. And they were back to the deafening quiet.
Kagome sweat dropped. Why was this so awkward now? She was fine few seconds ago until he started asking those questions.
He sat staring at her then looked down at one of her small scrolls of purity. He poked it with a clawed finger and a small spark of electricity shocked him. He drew back and gasped.
Kagome looked up at him for a split second. He started at the scroll in shock then touched it again.
BUZZZT!
He jerked back, then touched it again.
BUZZZT!
Kagome sighed in irritation and smacked his hand away.
He glared at her and muttered, "Bossy." He looked at her supplies again then his golden eyes fell upon her charcoal cube he picked it up and brought it up to his mouth. Kagome dropped her brush and shot her hand forward, "No! Don't eat that!"
He bit the charcoal, chewed it for a few seconds then stuck his blackened tongue out and started making gagging noises.
She snatched her charcoal from him and glared as he started going over dramatic with the taste of her paint. 'How annoying!' she thought.
A little while later, she finished her scrolls and was ready to try the prayer again. Inu Yasha yawned, and lay on his back with his hands behind his head. He closed his eyes and she thought that was the end of his noise.
She started to chant as before, "Demon find peace, your unrest must cease, demon disappear, you do not belong here-" all of a sudden, Inu Yasha emitted a loud snore from his open mouth. She sweatdropped and tried to continue with the spell. -"Demon disappear, you do not belong here, demon be-"
SNNNNNNRRRRRRROOOOOORRRRRRRZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!
She facefaulted. "Why me!" T_T she whimpered.
