Okay, sorry I haven't updated in forever and a day, but school and other
such things have been cutting into my online time. Well, anyways here's the
next chapter!
Chapter 5: To Blindly Go..
Following as close as they dared behind the infuriated miko, Shippo and Sango drifted into the depths of the forest. The confused little group kept silent and the forest around them, as if sensing the awkwardness of the situation, was silent as well. Aside from the occasional outbursts from Kagome; where she would let out a frustrated growl and throw up her hands after tripping over a felled branch; the silence remained until they reached the edge of the forest. Finally becoming bored of the quiet, Shippo tugged on Sango's kimono and whispered in her ear,
"Where is Kagome headed anyways?" Sango shrugged her shoulders and whispered back,
"I don't quite know that yet-and I don't think she knows either." Shippo simply kept walking and sighed, slumping his shoulders exasperatedly.
"Oh Miroku! Why not come down and repeat what you said earlier?" InuYasha taunted looking up the tree the monk had taken refuge in. Miroku's legs dangled from the branch he was on, and he held his staff clutched tightly in his right fist. "Ya know, I could very easily come up there after ya. But, I don't think I'll waste my time." The half-breed said in a relaxed but cocky tone as he folded his arms across his chest. He let out a deep sigh and closed his eyes, taking a seat beneath the shelter of the monk. Miroku made no verbal response, but instead, removed his sandal from his right foot and chucked it at the youkai's head-directly hitting him. "Why you little!" InuYasha growled scrambling up the tree. He was promptly knocked down however, when Miroku's left sandal nailed him between the eyes.
"When will he ever learn, violence is not the answer." Miroku sighed. He looked down from the tree to where InuYasha should have been; only to see no trace of him. The young lecher blinked and looked around the area of the tree, but still saw no demon. Suddenly he was pulled gruffly by his shoulders backwards onto the ground, where he was face to face with a very aggravated InuYasha. Miroku put up his hands and smiled nervously, "Heh, no hard feelings?" InuYasha cracked his knuckles and leaned over Miroku,
"Do ya wanna bet on that?"
"Ow! Ow, that's my head! ARRRGGGGG!!!"
Kagome stopped dead and stopped confused by a loud anguished cry that echoed over the treetops.
"Wh-What was that?" Shippo stuttered as he stumbled to a stop with a horrified expression.
"Probably just an animal or something.I hope." Kagome replied
"Better keep moving, just in case." Sango said walking on ahead. Shippo and Kagome nodded in unison and followed her. Suddenly, something flew out of a tree very close to Sango and was so fast Kagome could hear its' wings buzz furiously by her ear.
"What was that?!" Shippo cried jumping up and clinging to Kagome's shoulder.
"I-I have no idea!" Kagome exclaimed, frightened by her too close for comfort encounter. "How weird was that?" she said looking towards Sango; Sango did not reply. The exterminator was not easily scared, but yet she stood there as if paralyzed to the spot. "Sango?" Kagome said slowly walking towards the girl. Sango moaned and landed on her knees on the ground with a sickening thud. "Oh my gosh! Sango!" Kagome exclaimed hurrying over to her fallen comrade. "Sango, can you hear me?" the young miko said rolling the girl onto her back. That's when she found the cause for Sango's strange and sudden fall; she had a sting mark on her neck. By the look on Sango's face it was a poisonous insect sting, and only one conclusion came to Kagome's mind. "Naraku." She muttered.
"Is she going to be okay Kagome?" Shippo whimpered as he climbed down next to Sango. "Kagome?" he said looking at his silent friend. Kagome stood and stared defiantly up into the tree from which the insect had flew out of; she could sense them now-the jewel shards of the shikon no tama.
"Show yourself coward!" she commanded. In response, a deep ominous chuckle emanated from the depths of the branches. Shippo clung to Kagome's leg in fear, trembling uncontrollably.
"Dear, dear Kagome. You should know by now not to travel unprotected. Should ye not?" crooned the demon from the shelter of the tree.
"And I suppose you're protected with your back turned to me you baboon coward!" Shouted a raspy familiar voice from behind the ominous demon. Naraku turned a little too late as a clawed hand ran him through; the wielder landed perfectly at Kagome's feet.
"Kouga?" Kagome said surprised.
"Hey there doll." Kouga said with a wink and a thumbs up sign. Kagome blinked as a soft pink blush flushed up her cheeks.
"Kagome, Look! He's melting!" Shippo exclaimed pointing to where the baboon sat disintegrating until finally he was completely gone, leaving only a sliced wooded doll on the ground. Kagome leaned over and looked at the doll curiously.
"Wow." She said dumbfounded.
Well, that's this chapter. But I have another one coming so check back soon! By the way any comments on my writing are greatly appreciated! n_~
