series.
"Inuyasha, the shikon's presence is from this way." Kagome lead their group through the thick forest.
They've been following the Shikon shard's presence since morning. The presence leads them to one of the mountain. They found a small village on the mountain hill and when the villagers seen them, all of them were hauled to see the chief. Apparently, the chief's rebellious daughter were running away to the mountain since last week and hasn't return until now. The village's men were sent to find her but they couldn't find any trace of her.
The chief gave them a handsome sum of money to Inuyasha-tachi to find his daughter. Inuyasha, being Inuyasha refused to do it, but before he could voice his disagreement, Miroku hit him on the head and with his charming attitude said,
"Of course, we will find your beautiful daughter. We will make sure she was unharmed in any way." Inuyasha snorted, Kagome has I-know-this-will-happen expression and Sango narrowed her eyes dangerously to glare at Miroku.
So they set off with different aim. Miroku wanted to search for the chief's daughter alone, but Sango wouldn't let him. ("What would that pervert houshi do if he was left alone with a girl?") And so, Miroku, Sango and Kirara searched for the chief's daughter while Inuyasha, Kagome and Shippou tracking the Shikon shard.
Their path was hard. The forest was so thick, there were only minimum amount of sunlight filtered through the tree canopy. The air was hot and dry, Kagome felt like she could drink a gallon of water right there. Inuyasha didn't give her any time to rest since they left the village. Shippou perched on her shoulder making her burden become heavier.
"Are you okay, Kagome?" The young kit stared at his favorite human. "You've been panting for ten minutes."
Kagome tried to smile at the concern the kitsune cub displayed. "I'm fine, Shippou-chan, just a little tired." And with a louder voice, she said "Inuyasha, can we rest here for a moment?"
Inuyasha grunted his agreement and Kagome plopped down on the ground. She rummaged through her backpack and brought out chocolate and cookies. She gave some to Shippou who happily accepted it and Inuyasha who picked them in an absentminded kind of action. She drank down a bottle of Aqua with two gulps.
"Ah, I feel refreshed. Here, this for you, Inuyasha." She threw another bottle of water to Inuyasha. The bottle flew to the unsuspecting hanyou and managed to hit him square on the nose.
THONK was the collision sound.
"OW, what the hell did you do that for, bitch?!" Inuyasha screamed, rubbing his abused cute nose. Shippou rolled on the floor laughing.
Kagome was startled. She got to hit Inuyasha without the rosary help, wow. "Sorry, Inuyasha, I thought you could catch it. I didn't hurt you, did I?"
"Of course not. A bitch like you can never hurt me."
Kagome decided to let the insult pass. She promised herself to become more mature and the fact that Inuyasha was absentminded enough to got hit by her, worried her.
"Are you okay, Inuyasha? You've got this far away expression in your face since half an hour ago. You're not getting sick, are you?"
"Keh, of course not. Youkai don't get sick."
Kagome had to pushed down the urge to say "You're still a half human, Inuyasha." But Shippou voiced it anyway.
"You're still half human, Inuyasha." A bop on his head was Inuyasha's answer. Inuyasha picked Shippou's collar and growled menacingly to him.
"What did you say, brat?"
Shippou yipped. Must think of good excuse, must think of good excuse were running around in his brain. "I mean, Inuyasha, you could get sick too, and Kagome was only worried about you."
Inuyasha released him. Shippou inwardly sigh, at least his excuse was good enough. He scurried to hide behind Kagome, he don't want his poor head abused again by the immature hanyou. Kagome still look worried.
Her question "Are you sure?" was answered with a loud "Of course."
Inuyasha stood up and picked Kagome's bag. He said "Come on, don't lag behind." With that, he walks ahead with fast pace. Kagome picked Shippou and running to follow Inuyasha. Shippou whispered to her "He's acting weird, Kagome. Do you think he's okay?"
"Um don't worry, Shippou-chan."
"Oi are you finish chit-chatting? We still need to find the shard." Inuyasha yelled.
"Coming."
^_^
Inuyasha sniffed the air carefully. There were no sign of youkai in this mountain. The villagers on the hill said that a strong youkai occupied this mountain, but so far there are no youkai. But a scent in this forest was particularly familiar to him. Which is weird because he never went to this mountain before. He looked behind to check on his companions. Kagome and Shippou were walking behind him, talking.
'Kagome' his thought was focused on the human girl. How he wished to hold and kiss her. Tell her that he will be there forever for her, but he needs to finish his obligation to Kikyou before he could grab the chance of happiness with Kagome. Kikyou died following him so they could be together in their after life. He couldn't do a thing to satisfy the wondering soul that resided in Kikyou's body now. A body made of bone and earth. He shook his head to clear his thought. 'You could think of it when you're back to the village, Inuyasha. Now concentrate on finding the Shikon's shard.'
He walked down the rugged forest path, clearing the bush or branch that might hinder Kagome to follow him. The forest clearing was near, he could see it. He turned and told it to his companions. Kagome breathed a sigh of relief. At least there will be no bush to scratch her legs anymore.
The familiar scent became stronger. Inuyasha found he became impatient to find the source. The pure, untainted scent like Kagome, he knew he smelled it before when he was a child.
Finally they reached the clearing. Kagome stretched her limb, happy to meet with sunlight and fresh air again. Shippou hopped from his perch on Kagome's shoulder and took a deep breath.
"Man, I thought the forest would never end." He sighed happily. "Kagome, where is the shikon's shard?"
"It's somewhere around there, maybe in that cave, Shippou-chan. Let's go, Inuyasha." Kagome closed the distance between her and Inuyasha. She patted him on the back. "Come on."
Inuyasha however sniffed the air suspiciously. He turned his head towards the sky and growled. "He's here."
"Who?" was Kagome's intelligent answer.
"Sesshoumaru." He barked, and Kagome could see the familiar form of the two- headed dragon with Sesshoumaru on his back. Sesshoumaru descended from the dragon and stood in front of the cave. Preventing them from the Shikon's shard.
Inuyasha growled low while Sesshoumaru has his indifference posture, acting like they don't worth his time.
"What are you doing here, Inuyasha?" His voice was dripping with venom, unlike the usual icy cold one. He was actually glared at Inuyasha. "You are not allowed in this place."
"Hah, and since when you can control me, oh dear brother of mine." Sarcasm was evident in Inuyasha's voice. Kagome cringed. She and Shippou were edging away from the battle-thirst brothers. She could sense Sesshoumaru slightly out of character behavior but she doesn't know what to do with it.
Without warning, Sesshoumaru attacked. The whip was dancing gracefully against the air and it cut everything in its way towards Inuyasha. Inuyasha unsheathed his Tessaiga and deflected the dangerous whip. He charged towards his brother and letting out a Kaze no Kizu.
0_0
Sesshoumaru growled. How dare Inuyasha come to this place. He would prefer his idiotic brother came to his castle and trashing it rather than he came to this place. He would allow no one to enter this land, especially his half-brother.
The idiot let out a Kaze no Kizu. Great, now the land would have cracks. He maneuvered his whip expertly, creating a gash on Inuyasha's haori. Inuyasha tried to close the distance but Sesshoumaru unsheathed his Toukijin and attack him with the sword's cutting edge.
Inuyasha flew away from the force. Sesshoumaru smirked inwardly. "Go away, Inuyasha. Before I decide to kill you here."
The stubborn mutt didn't listen. "Keh, like you never tried to kill me. Let's end it here, Sesshoumaru." He let out another Kaze no Kizu.
Sesshoumaru moved from the collision path. The wound of wind continues its path, breaking everything behind him. He didn't care a bit. But when the sound of rocks rumbling down, he turned his head.
The cave entrance was blocked by pile of rocks. At this, Sesshoumaru found his patience break.
; )
Great, now Inuyasha's attacks block the path to the Shikon's shard. Man, when will he learn to fight with his brain? Kagome felt a little angry. They would have a hard time to clear the rubble away. And if Inuyasha uses his Kaze no Kizu again then the cave would probably collapse and to find the tiny shard would be impossible.
She looked at older brother. He looked furious too. Is there something in the cave that belongs to him? Kagome asked herself. She never saw Sesshoumaru aggressively attack Inuyasha like that.
*_*
Inuyasha was having a hard time blocking his brother's attacks. Sesshoumaru didn't taunt him like usual, just furiously attacking him. He never did that. Inuyasha wondered about what making his brother angry like that.
The sword whizzed by. 0_o Hey you almost chopped my ears off. Inuyasha wanted to scream at his brother but didn't do it. Sesshoumaru was busy trying to slice and dice him than listen to him. Damn, what is wrong with him? He was never angry with me like this.
The sound of blasting from inside the cave brought his attention away. And because of it, his defense was slack. Sesshoumaru managed to tore a deep gash on his stomach and he flew away from the impact. Damn.
*o*
Sesshoumaru switched his attention away from Inuyasha. The explosion from the cave surprised him, but none of it shows in his face. He stared at the cave waiting for something got out from it. He knew she was still sealed the last time he came here, so she couldn't be the one blasting the rubble away.
Inuyasha and his wench were surprised too. They were expecting something to come out from the cave. After the dust was cleared, I could smell the scent I missed so much. Her scent.
-_-
I ran to Inuyasha after he was knocked away by Sesshoumaru. The wound on his abdomen was deep, I found myself panicking. Shippou was panic too and his reaction didn't help my current state of mind. He ran in little circle beside Inuyasha, asking if he's okay.
"Oh my God, Inuyasha. Are you okay?"
Inuyasha grunted in pain. If he could focus on something beside the pain on his stomach, he would probably screaming, "Do I look okay?" Kagome looked at Sesshoumaru, ready to yell at him, but she was caught off guard with his intense stare at the cave. Kagome followed his gaze.
There's a girl on the cave's entrance. Her right hand glow softly before the glow dissipated. The girl was pretty. She was on her early twenties and has long red hair. But she was obviously pissed. Ruby eyes narrowed dangerously to see the intruder. And when she spoke, Kagome felt the temperature went down ten degrees.
"Who wrecked my place?"
End chapter two.
AN : Thank you for the reviews. Here's the second chapter. Is it live out to your expectations? If there were a lot of grammar errors, please forgive me. Anyone want to be the beta-reader? And I can't write fighting scene, so forgive the crappy action scene too.
