"Where are we going now Kinisa?" Shippo asked excitedly.
"I'm not sure. Sesshoumaru said its going to be a surprise."
"Actually, we're going to the fair." Sesshoumaru's voice came from behind them.
"But that's something for humans! We can't go there!"
"Actually, its in a town where youki are accepted along with the humans."
"That's cool!" Shippo of course.
"Yeah, lets go!" Sesshoumaru noticed the childish excitement in her voice. She was still naive as a little girl.
"Alright. But we don't want to start any trouble you two!" Shippo had a brief flashback. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*Flashback*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Kagome was carrying him through the woods. Suddenly, they heard a fight break loose up ahead. When they got there, Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru were fighting each other. Sesshoumaru tried to kill Inuyasha and him and Kagome and Sango and Miroku. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*End Flashback*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Shippo thought about the change in Sesshoumaru. He used to be cruel and emotionless. Now he was fun and always laughing. What a change. Sometimes he wondered what had happened to Kagome. Either she had finally killed Inuyasha, or if they had finally gotten along happily, or if Kagome was like Inuyasha. He hoped it wasn't the latter. -------------------------
Kagome had been walking through the woods, coming from Kaede's village. There was a village nearby that accepted both humans and youki, and there was supposed to be a festival. Inuyasha had refused to go, and Sango and Miroku already left. She just left alone, knowing Inuyasha would follow her to make sure she stayed out of trouble.
Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard someone screaming up ahead. She had her bow and arrow with her, and Inuyasha was no doubt close by. She decided to go there and try to help whoever was in trouble. The sight that greeted her eyes almost made her burst out laughing.
Sesshoumaru was chasing after that girl Kinisa, who was laughing and running around in a circle calling him 'Fluffy' and 'Girly-boy'. Shippo was hanging onto his tail, also laughing. The sight that disturbed her though, was the fact that Sesshoumaru seemed to be playing with them. Not in the cruel way, like during a battle, but in a happy way. Sort of like small children playing tag. He could have caught her easily, no doubt, but he didn't.
Then he stopped suddenly and started growling.
"What is it Sesshoumaru?" Kinisa asked. She approached him cautiously. She sniffed the air delicately. Then her eyes widened in shock. It was then that Kagome realized that the girl wasn't as strong as she was before. What had Sango said about that? 'When a youki is in danger, or is injured, they get extra boosts of energy so that they do not appear weak and so that they are not easily beaten.'
Kagome cursed herself for not being more careful. Then again, how were you supposed to know it was Sesshoumaru? a nagging little voice at the back of her mind asked. She turned around to see Inuyasha creeping up behind her. She knew he would follow her. She smiled inwardly to herself.
"What is it Kinisa? Sesshoumaru?" That was Shippo. He seemed to be content. No doubt Sesshoumaru never ran after him trying to bash his skull in for the merest little prank. Then he sniffed too. "Kagome! Is that you?!"
Kinisa didn't try to stop him when he walked over. She didn't get mad when he went over to Kagome. That made Kagome remember that she had gotten mad at him for going over to Kinisa almost two years ago. The reminder made her blush. Shippo ran straight into Kagome, hugging her. The momentum from his leap caused her to fall over backwards. After this, the little kitsune found himself hanging upside down, with Inuyasha holding his tail.
Shippo squealed. "EEEEEeeeeeeee! Put me down dog-turd!" This made Inuyasha squeeze him more. "Kinisa! Kagome! Sesshoumaru! Anyone! Heeeeeeeeellllllllpppppppppp! He wants to kill meeeeeeeee!" Shippo squealed again.
"Sit Boy!" Inuyasha was eating dirt for the third time that day, and he hadn't even eaten lunch yet!
Shippo was dropped, and he couldn't decide who to run to. Finally, not wanting to hurt either of their feeling, he just scurried up a tree. He looked over at Kinisa, then Sesshoumaru. he could see Sesshoumaru giving him permission to go see Kagome. (told you Sesshoumaru was understanding)
Kagome had watched this whole thing. Shippo had looked to Kinisa, who didn't notice. Then he had looked to Sesshoumaru. She had seen understanding in his eyes. Then Shippo gleefully jumped off his perch and jumped back on Kagome. 'Since when has Sesshoumaru gotten so understanding and kind?' she thought to herself.
Shippo was bouncing around, like a kid on Christmas morning. He wanted to know everything that had happened since that inconvenient meeting. "Kagome, what happened to you? I was wondering about you!"
Inuyasha came bounding out of the trees. "Come on Kagome, we're leaving." "But, Inuyasha . . . . . . ." Kagome stopped suddenly. She could practically hear the auras around Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru crackling. There was definitely going to be a show down now.
The two girls didn't know what to do. Kagome knew she should try to help Inuyasha, since she had sworn to herself she would agree with Inuyasha on this matter. However, when she saw the girl again, she couldn't bring herself to do it. She didn't want Kinisa to get to angry or be provoked, because she remembered what happened last time. 'But Sango said it could take a demon up to three years to replenish their power, depending on how much they used. Besides, she's a hanyou. You could easily take her out.' said a nasty little voice in Kagome's head.
"Come on we have to get out of here!" Kagome screamed. The air around them was full of energy. Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha were already fighting. "We have to get out of here!" Kagome yelled again. But the hanyou just stood there, looking at something beyond the battle. Then Kagome saw it too. It was a glowing pink orb, floating towards the two girls. -------------------------
Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru had stopped their battle when they saw something heading towards the motionless girls. In a flash, they were running towards the thing trying to stop it. Neither of them knew what it was, but they weren't going to take any chances. -------------------------
When Inuyasha stepped forward to attack, so did Sesshoumaru. (I know, I'm making it sound like they're doing everything together even though they hate each other. They are both just trying to save their companion.)
Their attacks didn't even slow the thing down. In fact, it only made it glow brighter. When they decided they couldn't attack it, they went to grab Kagome and Kinisa. They were about to grab them just as the orb reached them. They were thrown back by the energy radiating from Kagome, Kinisa, and the orb.
Inuyasha shook his head in disbelief. 'All of that energy over there is purity energy. If I try to go near it, I know I'll get burnt to a crisp.'
Sesshoumaru, on the other hand, had no clue what was going on. He saw Inuyasha sitting there, waiting. "What's wrong, Inuyasha? Giving up so soon?" he taunted.
"Baka! That's purifying energy!"
