Chapter eleven: Finding Inu. The making up. 21 questions.
****Author notes: Yes I know that's a real corny ass title but I just saw "Finding Nemo" and this wasn't supposed to go on like this but I don't care. Sniff my stories never come along as plan. Also I found out that my littler borders aren't working so I'll have to use a bunch of X's for borders so my story is easier to read and follow ( ********** - small- buttercup XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Kagome looked all round the forest for Inuyasha. In every tree and around every bush. 'Maybe he went away far time' she thought. Too bad, she really wanted to make up with him. She wanted to know what on his mind rather it was Kikyo or what had happen in Tania's cave. she didn't like it when he was closed-up like a clam and was cold and distance. Where was he? She knew that a while he would have to come back. she knew he would get hungry after a while. Yet, her body wouldn't allow her to stop. Soon she found her self in "Inuyasha's forest" and there was the tree but he was pinned to it. Of course, not why would he? He wouldn't go nowhere near that tree it was too heartbreaking for him maybe. It was a wonder why he liked to sleep in trees at all. She wonder what would have happen if she never pulled that arrow out of him that held him fast for fifty years. Duh that was a no brainer they would have all been crush by mistress centipede and died. She wondered what her life what would had happen here if she never fell down that well, or what would happen if she thought it all a dream and went home. Would she had creased to exist surely an ancient relative of hers had to be around here somewhere. If a demon killed that person then she had her family would crease to exist. What would her life be like without Inuyasha, Shippo, Miroku, Kaede, and Sango? Just to have an everyday average schoolgirl life again. She didn't even remember her life before all this. All she wanted was to hear Inuyasha's deep powerful voice again. As she sat by the tree where she first laid eyes on him, all she really wanted was to going home and cry herself a river.
Things were still gloomy at Kaede's too. Shippo hadn't moved or woken up. Yet, he seemed to be in a peaceful sleep now. Sango tried to keep as far away from the perverted Miroku, but Miroku kept trying to beg her for forgiveness. Plus, he was looking like a lost sad looking mutt and he was kinda cute for a mutt. Kaede chuckled at the odd couple. They also acted like this when Kagome and Inuyasha wasn't around. The two would be marring in no time. The only thing that was holding them back was probably the curse in Miroku's hand. She wonder if young Kagome found Inuyasha yet. She was going to make noodles and cups of it.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Where was Inuyasha? Well he had been off the tree and after eating some really bad apples. He decided that he really had to go back to Kaede's but he would also then have to take a bath. Which after he found a spring about twenty miles off, since the normal one was dried up, was doing. He was taking another bath! Which even though his second bath in less than two weeks was doing him some good. It was good to get all the blood and dirt off him. It was also good that it was washing away Tania's dirty touches away from his body. Too bad the water was only up to his waist he couldn't make it any deeper than that. Plus it was freezing cold the wind wasn't helping either. Now it was just blowing cold wind into his face freezing his nose, ears, and hair. He wished he had something to tie it with like how Kagome sometimes did. He had forgot how long he been bathing since now it was darker and colder and the stars were flickering on. Yea it was time to get out beside he clothes were dry too. He had washed them before he took his bath. Even his underclothes, which he rarely did. He had been a little more self-conscious this time around and had his clothes near. While all the time looking around him. Inuyasha didn't want anybody else looking at him while he was nude. He got out and shook himself, just like a dog, while shaking his head. Trying to dry his hair out the best he could. Only to find that his shirts were still wet. His pants and underclothes were well enough dry.
Inuyasha: Damn it. It's too cold to be walking around without a shirt. Well there one more way to get them dry.
So, a topless wet Inuyasha with hair still a little matted to his face ran through the woods and forests to he got the forest, his forest. Past the Bone Eaters Well and then he saw her. he nearly dropped his damp shirts. Kagome's sleeping body laid near the tree. the tree in which he was pinned all those years ago. She had come looking for him! He could tell she had been crying, and he hated it when she cried. Or maybe she was on her way home and had gotten sleepy. He'll be damn if he stood there and let her. he was going to take her back to Kaede's it was the least he could do for her. Secretly, he loved sniffing her scent so he didn't mind carrying her on his back or in his arms. Actually, he loved holding her in his arms. It wasn't the fact that Kagome looked like Kikyo or that she smelled better. Yeah he was digging her but couldn't tell her cause he still had feelings for Kikyo. He didn't want to betray Kikyo or maybe he wasn't too sure about Kagome and her feelings. Even though Kikyo wasn't the same woman , she was still the woman he lost. Due to Nauraku plot to pin them against each other.
Kagome felt like she being carried by someone. But by who and why was this someone wet? Where were they going? She was being kidnap! Or was she? She slowing opened her eyes to see who it was. It was Inuyasha! He had found her sleep! But why was he walking around topless and wet. Plus he was carrying her in his arms. His big powerful muscular arms were carrying her. Oh, he just had a bath or something. Maybe he had been training. Not like she was complaining she loved the view yet why was that depressing look still on his face. She had to cheer him up and make up now that she well he found her.
Kagome: Inuyasha?
Inuyasha: hmm?
Kagome: Are all you scars and wounds gone? What happen to your shirts?
Inuyasha: They healed don't worry about it. My shirt are wet I fell in a river but I'm ok. Had to get Tania smell off me anyway.
Kagome: How did that happen?
Inuyasha: wasn't paying attention I guess.
Kagome had ruined the moment. If only she had stayed asleep. Inuyasha wasn't in the mood to talk to her now. What did he look like letting himself fall into a river? Ha never! He knew it was only getting closer for him to say it. Kagome mistook his moody distance as angry towards her. She thought he wasn't mad at her? The jerk was getting to confusing and there was only one way to set him straight. Well there was a few ways but this had to work. She quickly dropped from his arms. Inuyasha looked at her blankly. What was her deal?
Kagome: Listen Inuyasha what ever bugging you can you get over it all ready! We can't do anything if you keep being in this distant mood of yours.
Inuyasha: I'm not being distance so back off me will ya.
Kagome: You said that I was your friend! Can't you at least give me a hint what is going inside that head of yours! Like a real Friend!
Oh no, she was about to cry. Please don't cry Kagome Inuyasha wanted badly to say. He knew better not too though. Images of himself kissing her tears away flashed through his mind thus causing his face to burn red. Where the hell did that come from? Not having food all this time had gotten to him. He was hungry he could eat those nasty hyenas. He blinked back look at Kagome sobbing her heart out. This is way he went away in the first place he didn't want to see her cry. Angered that he could do nothing for her without it having major consequences afterwards. He had to walk away from her. Kagome saw this and boiled. He was just going to walk away from her! That pig-headed, dog-eared, jackass! That's it! Kagome have had it with him.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Kagome: Sit boy!
This was the first time in months that she said this without him knowing she was going too. Thus, he was well unprepared to be eating grass and dirt. It was totally without warning and no hints at all. So, she's mad now. Well he'll show her mad. He would bide his time. The necklace soon wore off and Inuyasha sprung back up like it was nothing. Grass and dirt were sprinkled onto his uncover torso. He glared and growled in Kagome's direction.
Inuyasha: What the hell was that for?! I didn't do.
Kagome: Sit boy!
Again, his body crashed down like a ton of bricks. Damn the necklace around his neck. Damn Kagome and her mood swings. It was a few minutes before he was able to stand. This time he braced himself as he stood panting five feet away from the raven haired girl with the bright brown eyes. (Oh how they sparkled brighter than the..) Damn that was the Miroku coming out in him. He grinded his teeth together. He didn't care how much she was concerned she about of him. He didn't care if he made her mad. She was going to get it if she kept this up. He wasn't about to be laying near Shippo with another injured back because of all these sit commands unless she was also going to be there. Maybe she should stop now. Inuyasha had that wild look in his eyes. She knew he was planning something. Something wild and scary. She knew the look well. Inuyasha was an action first, think as you go kind of guy.
At least he wasn't looking all depress. He was looking like his wild self again. No now, he was looking like he was about to face Nauraku one on one. Was it that? Was it the fact that all this was holding him back from Nauraku? Well at least he was back to his normal self. Kagome could tell by his glowing orangey eyes. He didn't know how drop dead sexy he look with his sliver hair still damp complete with a dash of grass and dirt. Same with his tone and firm chest. So sexy it was almost deadly. So, she say it one more time?
Inuyasha: Listen you say that one more time and I'll.
Kagome: Sit!
Yeah she had to say it one more time. He'll never learn. He would have to give in to whatever was bugging him and focus all his angry at her. Which is something you don't really want but then again if it was the only way to get him back normal. Inuyasha refused to get up anymore. Clearly, Kagome had lost her damn mind. He rolled over to towards her till he was on his back staring angrily at her in those deep orangey eyes of his. God he looked so fine when he was like that.
Inuyasha: Damn it Kagome! I'm hungry I don't have time for this shit. Stop saying that word.!
Kagome: Feh what word? I have no idea what you are talking about Inuyasha.
Of course, her "feh" wasn't nearly as sexy as Inuyasha's are, but it was a start. Meanwhile Inuyasha just wanted to bite her she was getting on his last nerve, which included both the demon and human side of him. He didn't feel like fighting with her cause he would then have to go back to her time and fetch her back; which was something that he just wasn't going to do again. The only good thing was Ramen. Ah, he would say almost anything to her if she would give him some Ramen. Actually, he could smell some or something just like it coming from Kaede's. He had to get over there before it was all cold and nasty because Kaede really couldn't cook.
Inuyasha: Listen let's get forget this and go over to Kaede's now.
Kagome: You must smell the noodles. Well you lost yours if you think I'm letting you get any.
No Ramen! This was bad and he was starving. He was going to let himself going coma if she didn't let him have some. He had to do it. The big starry sad eyes face while is ears all droopy. She fell for it all the time. Maybe he should throw his arms and legs up too. Kagome almost smiled but held back. Darn he won again.
Kagome: What Inuyasha?
Inuyasha: Truce. Please call it this truce.
Kagome: Apologize to me and I'll think about it.
Inuyasha: What the hell for I didn't do anything?
Kagome: That's the point you dummy.
He knew it would come to this. He would have to say the other "S" word that he hated. Actually, it was worst than the other one. Was this what friends said to each other? Was it time for him to start acting like a true friend to Kagome and maybe the others? They hadn't really grown on him. Maybe Shippo had but only a little. Kagome saw the seriousness drew back in his eyes. He's eyes told everything if you took the time to study them. OH NO! Study! she had to study for a test which one history or math? Oh, she had to look in her planners. She nearly stomped Inuyasha six feet under at, she dashed through the forest. Inuyasha wondered about her wounded ankle surely it was not wounded enough.
Inuyasha: Damned girl. I just took a bath too.
Inuyasha brush himself off and dash after her. He would have caught up with her if he fully forget about his shirts. He had left them. He ran back to go get them and did a U turn back to Kaede's. Making an appearance in his white cotton shirt Inuyasha hurried started eating out of the pot of noodles seeing everyone else had, had some. Kagome thought about saying "it" while she was speedily studying and eating at the same time. Kaede and the other two casual eaters stared at the two odd balls pigging out. Although Inuyasha had been gone all day surely he couldn't be that hungry. Miroku felt the urge to make fun of the poor guy and went for it.
Miroku: Inuyasha did Kagome find you passed out in a tree or what?
Inuyasha glared at the young monk for a while then continued eating at a faster pace. That's it no one was getting seconds he thought as he slurped out the last of it. "Damn this is gross and dry," thought Inuyasha. Sango looked at him in a disgusted way as Miroku bug her with stupid jokes. Yep they were one big happy family complete with an unconscious child fox-demon on the side. Inuyasha had finish his glutton act and went outside as soon as he was sure Kagome forgotten about him once more. She was so into the book she was studying. What was this school she went too and why did she have to study so hard? Sure, some people here studied to be great scholars and stuff but this was just madness. Beside he didn't like how bossy Kagome got when she was in her studying mode. He was going to sleep outside tonight it wasn't that cold anymore though he put on his red fire rat fur shirt back on. Plus he had noodle stains on his white one. He founded his favorite tree near the river and hopped in it. No matter what this tree was the best. He could easy sleep in it, even better since he was stuffed with Kaede wanna be Ramen. Hey, it was close enough. He rested his head against the tree and feel asleep. Wow a peaceful night and day! How long would it last? Not for long he knew they would have to trace Naraku's trail, free Kikyo, kill Naraku, take all his shards of the Shikon jewel, and then figure out what to do with Kikyo.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
That was a problem that he hardly wanted to think about all those the unanswered questions. How would Kikyo stay alive without needing the souls of other dead girls? If he defeated Naraku would that answer the question? If Kikyo stayed, would Kagome leave? He wanted both of them by his side only now he didn't know which one he wanted as a lover and which for a friend. Sure at least him and Kikyo were the same age now. But Kagome had grew on him and was a pleasure to be around he could love her if he tried. But what if Kikyo stole Kagome's soul? Would Kikyo ever be the same again? The battle wasn't going to be easy some of them may even die! What he died? How would Kagome deal? What about Miroku? Would the cured in his hand actually be removed? Sango's little brother was in Naraku's keep also. Would be freed as well? What about the jewel shards? Just how many did Naraku have? Half? More than half? If defeated Naraku would, the shards of Shikon jewel thus become complete? Could he turned into a full fledge demon after that?
Or would he wuss out and just give it to Kagome after all it really was hers. Or he could follow the dream him and Kikyo had dreamt about fifty years ago. And turn full human instead. It wasn't something he wanted to do anymore though. If he turned full human what would become of him? Same question if became full demon. What he did go crazy and eat Kagome and Kikyo? He wouldn't be any better than Naraku or Sesshomaur now would he? Are would he? Actually, he had became full demon a few times just like when he becomes full human. Yet, he could never remember what it was like. It was as if it was all just a dream. All he really wanted was to keep Kagome and the others safe from harm. He didn't want to see another woman die because of him. What if Kagome came back from the dead and had the same hatred for him? It was too many questions that went unanswered he never questions about becoming a full demon till Miroku came along and put stupid thoughts in his head. So, what if nothing good ever came from the jewel? What's it to him? The only major reason they all did join together was to get revenge against Naraku. They all had been hurt by him. The guy just didn't have a life. He didn't care about messing with the wrong people or getting his ass kicked. Inuyasha vowed that the first thing he was going to do. The only real question was did they have enough power to beat him?
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Kagome had finished studying to see Sango and Kaede sleep on one side of the room and Miroku on the far end. She kneeled near Shippo he was so cute. She gently massaged his forehead. He moved his small fingers. He was coming around! Ah Shippo, she knew he would come out of it. Wait a minute where did Inuyasha run off to again? He was going to get "sat" aging and dragged back so she could keep an eye out for him. Well she had to go look for him.
Shippo: Kagome.
*~*~*~*~*~*~* Author Notes: Will Shippo wake up from coma? What will happen if he does? Will Inuyasha ever say sorry? Will he force them all to fight Naraku if Shippo doesn't and leave Shippo behind?

Inuyasha glared at the young monk for a while then continued eating at a faster pace. That's it no one was getting seconds he thought as he slurped out the last of it. "Damn this is gross and dry," thought Inuyasha. Sango looked at him in a disgusted way as Miroku bug her with stupid jokes. Yep they were one big happy family complete with an unconscious child fox-demon on the side. Inuyasha had finish his glutton act and went outside as soon as he was sure Kagome forgotten about him once more. She was so into the book she was studying. What was this school she went too and why did she have to study so hard? Sure, some people here studied to be great scholars and stuff but this was just madness. Beside he didn't like how bossy Kagome got when she was in her studying mode. He was going to sleep outside tonight it wasn't that cold anymore though he put on his red fire rat fur shirt back on. Plus he had noodle stains on his white one. He founded his favorite tree near the river and hopped in it. No matter what this tree was the best. He could easy sleep in it, even better since he was stuffed with Kaede wanna be Ramen. Hey, it was close enough. He rested his head against the tree and feel asleep. Wow a peaceful night and day! How long would it last? Not for long he knew they would have to trace Naraku's trail, free Kikyo, kill Naraku, take all his shards of the Shikon jewel, and then figure out what to do with Kikyo.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
That was a problem that he hardly wanted to think about all those the unanswered questions. How would Kikyo stay alive without needing the souls of other dead girls? If he defeated Naraku would that answer the question? If Kikyo stayed, would Kagome leave? He wanted both of them by his side only now he didn't know which one he wanted as a lover and which for a friend. Sure at least him and Kikyo were the same age now. But Kagome had grew on him and was a pleasure to be around he could love her if he tried. But what if Kikyo stole Kagome's soul? Would Kikyo ever be the same again? The battle wasn't going to be easy some of them may even die! What he died? How would Kagome deal? What about Miroku? Would the cured in his hand actually be removed? Sango's little brother was in Naraku's keep also. Would be freed as well? What about the jewel shards? Just how many did Naraku have? Half? More than half? If defeated Naraku would, the shards of Shikon jewel thus become complete? Could he turned into a full fledge demon after that?
Or would he wuss out and just give it to Kagome after all it really was hers. Or he could follow the dream him and Kikyo had dreamt about fifty years ago. And turn full human instead. It wasn't something he wanted to do anymore though. If he turned full human what would become of him? Same question if became full demon. What he did go crazy and eat Kagome and Kikyo? He wouldn't be any better than Naraku or Sesshomaur now would he? Are would he? Actually, he had became full demon a few times just like when he becomes full human. Yet, he could never remember what it was like. It was as if it was all just a dream. All he really wanted was to keep Kagome and the others safe from harm. He didn't want to see another woman die because of him. What if Kagome came back from the dead and had the same hatred for him? It was too many questions that went unanswered he never questions about becoming a full demon till Miroku came along and put stupid thoughts in his head. So, what if nothing good ever came from the jewel? What's it to him? The only major reason they all did join together was to get revenge against Naraku. They all had been hurt by him. The guy just didn't have a life. He didn't care about messing with the wrong people or getting his ass kicked. Inuyasha vowed that the first thing he was going to do. The only real question was did they have enough power to beat him?

Kagome had finished studying to see Sango and Kaede sleep on one side of the room and Miroku on the far end. She kneeled near Shippo he was so cute. She gently massaged his forehead. He moved his small fingers. He was coming around! Ah Shippo, she knew he would come out of it. Wait a minute where did Inuyasha run off to again? He was going to get "sat" aging and dragged back so she could keep an eye out for him. Well she had to go look for him.
Shippo: Kagome.
