Disclaimer: See first chapter.
A very fluffy-ish chapter! Except the end.
Sorry, I cut my original chapter 5 in half so the whole dinner thing will be next chapter. :( Have to wait another chapter for Fluffy, Kouga, and all of them now.
Warning-Some bad language this chapter *points to Inuyasha* Should I change the rating?

Destined Love
Chapter 5-To Fall
by sunny1388
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was starting to bug him.
Inuyasha opened an eye again and tightened his crossed arms as he saw yet another tear leak down the girl's cheek. His golden eyes traced it as it reached the edge of her face and fell.
She had been silently crying for a while now and even though Inuyasha tod himself that he couldn't care less, he'd always had a weakness for tears, especially from girls. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat then looked up at her again.
Finally.
She stopped crying and took a deep breath.
Inuyasha looked around impatiently. The salty smell of her tears still dwindled in the carriage and it was setting his nerves on end.
Glancing out the window, Inuyasha surveyed the familiar land and realized they would be getting to his-their-home soon.
Clearing his throat, he waited for the girl to wake up.
Slowly prying her uncooperating eyelids open, Kagome blinked, realizing she had fallen asleep. Her face felt tight with dried tears.
Bringing a clawed fist up to his mouth, Inuyasha coughed awkwardly, obviously making an effort to be polite, but the loudness of the cough revealed his impatience.
"Wha?" Kagome muttered intelligently. Inuyasha jerked a thumb towards the window, and looking outside, Kagome saw the mists of the puffy cloud they were in disperse slowly to reveal the green ground below them and the edge of a rocking cliff protruding from the edge of the plain.
A wall of blocks of stone in a semicircle around the edges of the cliff encased some of the meadow and seemed to be with activity. Kagome could see many demons in human form scurring around.
In the lush green plains surrounding the cliff, there were dog demons in their true forms scattered around.
Stifling a gasp, Kagome leaned back in her seat again, since she had been unconsciously leaning forward to look out the window. Dropping her gaze to her hands folded in her lap, she stifled yet another gasp and quickly clasped her hands together, her eyes flying up to meet Inuyasha's piercing golden glare.
"What was that?" he demanded with a slight growl in his voice.
"What was what?" she asked innocently, looking at him with large, inquiring eyes, playing dumb.
"I saw a light in your hands, wench." he said, the growl growing dangerously, a growl that had other full demons backing down. But Kagome's eyes glinted with a new fire in return.
"I said I don't know what you're talking about!" she said, getting angry at him, "And my name isn't 'wench', it's Kagome. Ka-go-me!" she half-yelled at him, sounding out all the syllables.
"Fine wen--" Inuyasha stopped, seeing the warning look she shot at him, "Fine Ka-go-me." he imitated, crossing his arms.
But Kagome wasn't going to take his mockery sitting down. She jumped up, forgetting she was in a low ceiling carriage and promptly hit her head on it. Stumbling, she lost her balance and was about to fall and probably hit her head on something sharp when Inuyashas' arms shot out and grabbed shoulders, steadying her.
"Stupid we--" Inuyasha was saying, but stopped, thinking about how hard it would be to break the habit before continuing, "we--woman."
Kagome was about to retort when the carriage suddenly lurched, landing on the ground. This caused Kagome to stumble back and she instinctively grabbed Inuyasha's arm, but this made Inuyasha lose his bablance since the poor hanyou was already half out of his seat from the jolting landing.
Then Miroku opened the carriage door from the outside.
And all hell broke loose.
A couple things happened in the space of a few seconds, but the first of which was, of course, Miroku's hentai brain clicked and deciphered the scene in front of him, his version, at least.
"Wow Inuyasha, didn't think you had it in you!"
Sango gasped, hands flying to her mouth in surprise and her face turning red so fast it seemed impossible.
Then Kagome's mind registered their positions. And she shrieked.
"KYYYAAAAAAAA! GET OFF ME!!"
Kagome was lying on her back on the floor of the carriage, her hair a mess from her little nap and her clothes wrinkled and messy from her little tumble. She struggled to get Inuyasha's heavy body off of her from his position sprawled over her.
When they fell, Inuyasha's head had landed on Kagome's...chest and his hand fell on Kagome's thigh, making a very questionable-looking picture.
Inuyasha quickly lifted his head up, his silvery hair a tangle. A dark red blush covered his face and even his dog-like ears seemed to be tinged with red.
Now Sango was stuttering incomprehensibly while trying to drag Miroku away, who was insisting on staying on watching with a huge lecherous grin on his face.
"Sick bastard..." Inuyasha muttered at Miroku, finally untangling himself from Kagome, who leapt up and half tumbled out of the carriage, grabbing Sango's arm, and running with the girl in tow past all of the confused guards, who were waiting to escort them.
After Inuyasha had punched Miroku painfully on the arm a few times, the priest had stopped laughing and turned to a still-red Inuyasha, who had crossed his arms, leaning back against the carriage.
"Er, shouldn't we go after them?" Miroku asked tentaively, hoping that bringing up the girls wouldn't anger Inuyasha. He didn't want to be punched into oblivion.
But to his surprise, Inuyasha had a little smirk on his face,
"Nah, they'll realize soon enough that they have no idea where they're going." the hanyou replied, ignoring the look of surprise Miroku had on his face that Inuyasha actually thought of something he didn't. A vein on Inuyasha's forehead began twitching, why did everyone think he was stupid?! Just because he acted a little thick-headed sometimes, it was because his style was to punch first and ask questions later.
The vein twitched even more as Miroku's surprised expression failed to fade.
Finally, Inuyasha snapped. His fist lashed out and connected with the side of Miroku's head, knocking out the priest for a while. Leaning back on the carriage again, Inuyasha recrossed his arms and closed his eyes, sighing peacefully.
Now, back to his thoughts about Kagome...
~*~
In an elaborate castle far north of Inuyasha's western domain, another hanyou was sitting on a window sill, watching a storm brewing outside. It would be a fierce raging storm. The slate colored sky and the occasional rumblings of distant thunder showed that much. His lip curled upwards in a smirk.
The weather set the perfect mood for what was going on in the deep bowels of the dungeons of his castle, where no one coud hear the screams of the prisoners and those who could, the inhabitants of the grimy dungeons, couldn't care about anything except for their own pain.
A knock on the door of his chamber returned him to reality and he turned from the window and redirected his crimson glare on the door.
"Enter."
He called out in a cold, clear voice that still sent shudders through the female youkai on the other side of the door, even though she had been working with him for quite a while now. She opened the creaky door and stepped into the room, bowing as she did so.
"It is done." She said, without preamble, her eyes on the stone floor.
"Good."
The wind demoness waited, drawing in only small breaths of air.
"Tell the witch that I will be down in a moment."
The demoness nodded once and turned, quickly walking out of the room. When she closed the door, she leaned against it, taking a few deep breaths to steady herself before walking down the hall and back to the dungeons.
In the room, the hanyou wondered aloud to himself as he turned back to the storm clouds, which had began to drip,
"So, Urasue has managed to do this simple task that I have given her. Now for the soul..." the smirk that had dissappeared when his minion had entered returned in a full sneer, "I will enjoy this."
A brilliant streak of thunder flashed outside the window, casting demonic shadows over the hanyou's face, which was twisted and threatening.

Just in time for dinner with the family. Many new characters introduced including Sesshomaru & Kouga and maybe...Shippou. Maybe. ^_^
