Chapter 6: Recovery
"How's it coming, spot?" Nankinmai asked as she leaned against the waist high wall to look down at Inu-Yasha who was repairing the broken railing which he snapped in half, "Don't call me that! I don't have spots!" he snapped as he hammered a board in place. "Well I could call you Ko-inu or perhaps. . . " She giggled ". . . ears." She laughed as she rubbed his ears and he jerked his head back like a dog. "Hey don't do that! You know that makes my ears feel weird." He commented as he hammered the other side of the board in and suddenly let out a cry and thrust his thumb into his mouth as his ears dropped.
"Awww, did the wittle ko-inu hit his poor wittle finger with the big bad hammer?" Nankinmai said like she was talking to a two year old as inu-Yasha in return flipped her off with narrowed eyes as she laughed.
"Aww, now that isn't nice, ya know one day some woman will be happy to agree with you in that manner." She teased then she laughed evilly as she watched her cousin's face go bright red with embarrassment. But her laughter ended as she heard the sliding door open and she turned to meet the blue-gray eyes of the raven-haired girl.
"Well good morning, Kagome I hope you slept well." Nankinmai said happily as the girl nodded, "I did, thank you." She said in a low voice as she lowered her head.
Nankinmai raised an eyebrow and walked up to the girl and lifted her chin up, "Hey, that eye is healing up pretty good." She said then frowned, "You need some clothes though." She laughed as Kago blushed as she remembered she was just in a thin white inner kimono. She blushed even more when she noticed Inu-Yasha working on the railing behind Nankinmai.
Now of course Nankinmai noticed this and hid a smile and released Kago and waved her hands in the air. "Oh!! Your friends should be here soon, spot here called them a little while ago." She grinned as Kago raised an eyebrow at the pet name.
"Spot?"
"Don't ask." Inu-Yasha shot out with a 'Feh' as he stood up and scratched his head with the fork end of the hammer as he eyed his work. "I'm done."
"Looks a little lopsided there." Nankinmai stated as Inu-Yasha looked at her, "It does not!" he pouted as he looked back at his 'masterpiece'. . . but indeed . . . it was lopsided. Well no one would noticed.
"Hey guys!, wow who did the lopside job?" He heard Miroku say followed by laughter from three different voices. "Let me guess, Inu-Yasha?" Leeta laughed as Shippo ran up to Kagome's side. "KAGOME!!!" he screeched and hugged her sore legs, Kagome held in her gasp of pain and let the little kitsune hug her until Inu-Yasha tore the little kid from her. "Hey, half- pit lay off! She's hurt you numbskull!"
"I'm not a numbskull and I aint a half-pit!" Shippo yelled and suddenly Inu- Yasha found his hands on the porch with a Jizo statue on them, (A/N Just like in the manga) "What the hell?" he stated as Sango laughed, then walked to her friend. "Here Kagome, I brought you some clothes." She smiled and Kagome nodded her thanks and went inside to change as Miroku began to follow but was yanked back by a strong-clawed hand. "You pervert." He mumbled as Miroku gasped, "Me a pervert! I'm shocked, I am the fifth generation of monk-hood in my family." He stated and Inu-Yasha rolled his eyes.
"More like fifth generation pervert." He mumbled and let the monk go as Nankinmai and Shippo went into the house leaving the two men outside. "So how is Kago?" Miroku asked as Inu-Yasha's ears twitched, "I don't know, she won't let me near her. She won't even talk to me." He added and Miroku nodded, "Well If I was a girl, which I'm not, I wouldn't let a guy near me either after being in the relationship she was in."
"Was?"
"Hai. She was dating Naraku, but here's the real kicker yesterday we went to their place to check on Kago but she wasn't home nor was Naraku and furthermore blood was thick in the air, I was surprised no other youkai's noticed it. Then today we went to get some of her clothes to find that Naraku wasn't there again nor was his things or car. I'm guessing he high- tailed it out of there cause there where cops outside too when I arrived. So we didn't get to her clothes from there, we just went back to the dorm and got some of Sangos clothes."
"Mhmm."
"Yeah, they found the body of a dead girl around Kago's age a few miles out of town, she was beaten and well I am sure you could figure out the rest. I am guessin' that would have been Kago if she hadn't ran away like she had." Miroku sighed and scratched the back of his head as he heard Inu-Yasha growling and watched as the hammer in his hands snapped in half. "Ya know, Nankinmai is going to be pissed that you broke her hammer." He said with a smile and then duck as Inu-Yasha threw the hammerhead at the monk.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
"Hey Kago."
"Yeah Sango?" Kagome asked she started to change clothes, "I think you should live a the dorm with me and Kirara." She stated as Kagome shook her head, "Ite, I don't want to intrude and besides I can find an apartment to stay in." she commented, though she hated the fact of living alone and well was just plain scared too.
"You wouldn't be, besides if you want an apartment you could stay with Kouga." She smiled as Kagome looked at Sango with wide eyes. "Oh heck no, I don't want to live with him!" Kagome almost yelled which cuased Leeta and Sango to laugh.
Leeta grinned evilly as she placed her chin onto her hand. "You can always stay with dog-boy." She teased and Kagome said nothing, then sighed, "You guys are hiding something from me."
Sango and Leeta looked at each other then back to Kagome and sighed, "We could never hid things very well huh?" Leeta said and Kagome nodded, "You guys are worse at lieing then me."
Sango nodded at that comment, "I didn't want to worry you but. . ."
"Naraku escaped, he left and we don't know where he went." Leeta finished, Kagome stood still as she finished dressing, this was something she didn't want to hear and now was defiantly afraid. What was she going to do now?
["Oh Kami!"] she thought as she heard the heavy footsteps of the men enter the house and Nankinmai yelling at Inu-Yasha for braking her hammer. "Now I have to find another nut-cracker! ARGH!" Nankinmai yelled and Kagome laughed slightly as she sat back down on her bed and rubbed her ribs. Maybe . . . just maybe she didn't need to be afraid and everything will be alright.
After all, she had gained new friends and a new life.
