Chapter Forty Two: Where o where has my little pup gone?
**********************************************
"Hmm..." a little boy with short brown hair and blue eyes mumbled. "..." The little boy was speechless as Inuyasha started to walk past him. '???'
Inuyasha just pushed his way into the village with Kagome behind him. "Where is he?" he growled.
The little boy just looked at Inuyasha and finally went after him. "Are you Kawayou's daddy?"
Inuyasha looked angrily at the little boy. "How do you know my pup's name, human?" he snarled.
The boy bit his lip and was beginning to cry when Kagome apologized for Inuyasha's behavior. "Ignore him. Do you know where he is?"
The boy shook his head. "Nope. We we're playing hide and go seek. Does he have to go home now?"
Inuyasha grabbed the boy by his collar. "Where is he?!"
"Inuyasha, calm down!" Kagome scolded.
The little boy wriggled anxiously in Inuyasha's grasp. "I don't know! Somewhere around here!"
Inuyasha dropped the boy to the ground and started to look around. "Mutsuki?!"
Sly groaned and jumped off the top of a nearby hut. "What?"
Inuyasha picked Sly up and held him possessively.
Kagome scratched her head, wondering why Inuyasha had picked him up.
Sly was thinking the same thing too. He was so surprised he didn't even wiggle against his dad. "Uhh...pops? You al-?"
"Dammit pup!" Inuyasha yelled as he held Mutsuki out in front of him and looked him straight in the eyes. "NEVER DO THAT AGAIN!!"
"I had Shippou with me." Sly grumbled in protest as he pointed to Shippou, who had jumped onto Kagome's shoulder.
Inuyasha shook his head. "No! That's not it!" He turned Sly around roughly to look at the friends he had been playing with. "NEVER play with humans!"
"..."
"They'll do nothing but **** up your life." Inuyasha growled dangerously as the kids started to run away.
Kagome reached out for Sly. "Don't be like that Inuyasha!" she began. "Have I messed up your life? Has Sango?"
"You don't count." Inuyasha grumbled.
Sly shook his head as he held on to his mom. "Fine then." he grumbled. "What then? Can I only play with demons?"
"NO!!" Inuyasha yelled louder. "THEY ARE TWICE AS WORSE!!" he pressed Sly up to him, nose to nose. "There isn't any kids out there that'll treat you like a decent creature, alright?"
Sly just looked at his dad and noticed the serious look in his eyes. "They were just fine with me though." he said, confused as to what Inuyasha was saying.
Inuyasha was about to tell him, when Kagome started to walk off. "Don't worry about it, honey. Your dad is just a little off balance right now."
Inuyasha growled as he started to follow behind them. He knew Kagome wanted to keep their kid in 'Ignorant Bliss' but in order for him to survive, he couldn't.
They couldn't afford to anymore.
As Inuyasha caught back up with them, he whispered into Kagome's ear.
Kagome ignored his plea as she continued to walk back to Jinenji's for Sango and Miroku.
Sly looked strangely up at his mom, wondering why she had interrupted Inuyasha's explanation. 'She's hiding more from me again, isn't she?'
Kagome just continued to walk, still ignoring Sly's questioning eyes. "I don't want you to leave like that again, Sly. The same rules apply here as they do at home."
"Huh?" Sly replied.
"I don't want you running off from me." Kagome explained. "Even if it's with Shippou. It's too dangerous and you are too young."
'That's not what Shippou said.' Sly grumbled to himself as he thought about when he had started to walk with Shippou earlier.
////"Hey." Shippou said as Sly stopped walking with him, and started to head back to his mom. "Come on, let's go explore for a little while."
Sly bent his ears against his head. "Huh-uh. I want to stay near momma."
Shippou shook his head. "You've been clinging onto Kagome more than I have lately." He said concerned. "How come?"
Sly sat down on the grass. "I don't know what you're talking about." He lied.
Shippou grinned at Sly. "You're hiding something, aren't you? What are you so scared of that you don't want to leave Kagome?"
Sly remained silent, thinking of something else to say so he wouldn't have to choose between exposing his feelings or leaving his momma. ".uhhh.villages don't like me."
Shippou scratched his head. "What? The last one REALLY liked you."
Sly grumbled.
Shippou's eyes went wide. 'Ummm.shouldn't he have been growling instead? Come to think of it.he hasn't really growled or barked since.' Shippou shook the question off and looked back at Sly. "I'll be with you, so you don't have to be afraid."
"I'm not afraid!" Sly shouted.
"Then let's go!" Shippou grinned. "Don't worry. I'm good at running off and being okay. I'm sure Kagome won't mind the small break her arms will get."
Sly just grumbled. ".Okay, but not for long."
Shippou started to run side-by-side with Sly. "Course not. Inuyasha will find us sooner than you think anyhow."////
Inuyasha crossed his arms and growled. He didn't know who he should be mad at. The humans for messing with Mutsuki's mind? Mutsuki for stupidly deciding to play with humans? Shippou for dragging him away? Kagome for keeping from explaining anything to his pup? "****, maybe I should just be angry at my damn self for forgetting to watch him closer!'
Shippou seemed to notice Inuyasha's accusing glare and decided not looking at him would be better for his health.
While they continued to walk, Miroku and Sango came walking toward them.
"Jinenji and his mother have kindly offered us a room for tonight." Sango said.
Miroku was about to answer to Sango when Inuyasha interrupted.
"No way. The old man is less than a day away now." Inuyasha replied.
Kagome's eyes grew wide. "Only a day? Why didn't you tell us we were getting so close?"
Inuyasha glanced at her. 'So you wouldn't start thinking of what would happen afterward, then begin fantasizing about your stupid broken well.' "It doesn't matter."
Kagome frowned at the hanyou as she looked back at Sango. "Do you want to stay, Sango?"
'Yes, yes, yes!' "Not if you do not think it is wise." Sango smiled.
Inuyasha just grumbled. "Fine, you know what? How about you idiots stay, and I just take Kagome and Mutsuki with me?"
"Kawayou." Kagome corrected.
"Yeah, yeah. My pup and Kagome." Inuyasha replied.
Sango glanced toward Miroku and Shippou. "Actually, I'm sure you could use- "
"-less attention from us." Miroku smiled. "Of course Inuyasha, feel free to spend this precious time with your family."
Inuyasha didn't reply as he started to walk away.
Kagome however hadn't started walking with him, causing him to look back. "I want to say goodbye to Jinenji first."
Inuyasha frowned. "We'll be coming back for the others soon. You can say goodbye to the wimp then."
Kagome turned back to Inuyasha and glared at him angrily. "He's my friend, Inuyasha.and if I want to say goodbye, I can!" she shouted angrily as she set Kawayou down on the ground.
Inuyasha turned to look at her. "Fine, then hurry it up. We have to get going."
Kagome marched off angrily. "I don't have to! I'll take all day if I want!"
Miroku just looked suspiciously at Inuyasha. "Did you do something to make Lady Kagome mad again?"
Inuyasha was about to answer when he felt Sly tug on his kimono. He looked down at his pup. "What?"
Sly looked up at Inuyasha. "Hi."
Inuyasha looked back down at him. "Yeah, hi."
".I'm hungry." Sly finally said.
Inuyasha sighed. "Well, go tell Kagome to hurry it up and we can get food, alright?"
Sly continued to look up at Inuyasha.
Inuyasha continued to stare at him. "What?"
"Shippou went with mommy." Sly answered.
Inuyasha looked toward Miroku and Sango to see if they knew why his pup had told him something fairly obvious. "Yeah."
"..I can wait I guess." Sly answered back as he started to look on the ground.
Inuyasha on the other hand, hadn't stopped looking down at him. 'Why's he actin' weird?'
A few minutes later Kagome came back to the group and said her goodbyes to Shippou, Miroku and Sango.
"We'll be back soon." Kagome smiled at Sango. Sango looked back toward Jinenji's small hut. 'Take your time' she thought, until she saw Miroku grinning at her in her line of vision. "Don't take too long."
Kagome waved toward her friend as Sly jumped back into her arms. "We won't."
Sango, Shippou, and Miroku watched as Inuyasha and his family started to walk away.
"Do you think everything will be okay at the old man's?" Sango asked.
Miroku just looked at his staff and back out toward the silhouettes of Inuyasha's family. "I don't know Sango."
'I don't know.'
