Chapter three:
Where Evil Lurks
Miroku yawned and stretched his hands above his head. Sleeping on the hard weathered soil in the middle of a dense forest, wasn't the best thing for his already aching back. Miroku looked around in hopes that he wasn't the first to wake up. This morning, it was just that. Normally, Inu Yasha was awake when Miroku awoke but this morning he found Inu Yasha laying down near the campfire. All that remained was the smoking of the fires last bit of energy. Miroku got up and dusted the small leaf particles from his sleeve. He rolled his blankets up and placed them off to the side. He looked for Shippo and Kagome but all he found was the little kit sprawled out in Kagome's sleeping blankets. Kagome wasn't anywhere to be found. Miroku walked to Inu Yasha's relaxed figure and pushed lightly on his back to wake him. Miroku found that Inu Yasha's clothing was damp to the touch and that Inu Yasha really wasn't relaxed at all. " Inu Yasha? Can you hear me? Inu Yasha," Miroku yelled at the body, this time violently shaking him. Miroku caused such a racket, that he woke Shippo. "Miroku- san? What is the noise all about," asked the kit, rubbing his eyes sleepily. Shippo opened his eyes farther and noticed that Miroku was shaking Inu Yasha so hard that his head was rocking back and forth in a rapid motion. Little Shippo jumped up and speeded himself to Miroku's side. "What are you doing," Shippo asked shock. "Inu Yasha," Miroku gasped as he rolled Inu Yasha onto his back, " Inu Yasha isn't feeling well, Shippo. Take the bucket and washcloth to the creek. Bring back some water so I can cool Inu Yasha." Shippo did as he was asked and scampered to the nearby creek. A few minutes later, he came back with the bucket filled with ice cold water. Miroku took the cloth, wrung it of excess water, folded it and placed in lightly on Inu Yasha's brow. By this time Inu Yasha's breathing had become shallow and his body shook with fever. " Where is Kagome, Miroku-san," asked Shippo as he stood by and watched Miroku. Miroku continued the tediousness of breaking Inu Yasha's fever. "I don't know she wasn't here when I woke up. I thought she went to bathe, but she hasn't returned," Miroku said with a sigh. He looked at Shippo with a bit of concern. This wasn't like Kagome to run off without telling any one. With that, Inu Yasha being sick wasn't going to help the matter of finding Kagome. Miroku redid the cloth on Inu Yasha's forehead again as he pondered over the strange happenings. It just isn't like her. She wouldn't run off like that. Kagome, where are you? Miroku thought.

I hate when they do all that veggie/ fruit throwing. *Ducks away from the rotten cabbage being thrown *; _; * sobs *
* * * * Inu Yasha felt trapped. He wasn't afraid, but the black abyss in front of him showed no sign of letting him back into reality. What the hell is going on? Inu Yasha thought. I passed out but I why? Argh! He looked around himself. There was a small light in the distance. Inu Yasha felt a bit of hope flourish in his mind. As he got closer, he noted that he wasn't going back to the real world but he was now watching his memories of Kagome in the third person. Memory view Author announces: " keep your hands and feet along with any loose items inside the moving brainstream until you have come to a complete stop." *Kagome laughs her high pitch and girlish laughter. * ' What is so funny?' ' Nothing, Inu Yasha!' ' Right. I'll get you, Kagome!' ' No you won't' *Inu Yasha leapt forward and Kagome started running. * *He chased her and caught up. * ' I caught you, Kagome!' *Inu Yasha tackles Kagome to the ground * Kagome squeals in surprise as Inu Yasha pins her to the ground under him. Kagome chuckles a bit, but then she quiet down and stares into his gold shaded eyes. Her breath quickens. Inu Yasha senses her pulse leap as he stares back into her eyes. The spur of the moment brings their faces closer. Inu Yasha's breath brushed against her face and something pings inside her. Abruptly, Inu Yasha pushed his lips against Kagome. Her eyes widened with surprise but then closed to savor the moment. She slowly wrapped her arms around his neck and lifted her self into a sitting position. Inu Yasha helped her by encircling his arms around her waist, even though he was still straddling her legs. End of memory Inu Yasha plunged back into darkness.
Raven's Angel: Mwahahahahahaha! Me gonna leave you at a cliffhanger! * Rubs hands together in an Evil manner* *Miroku walks in and takes a seat in the chair in front of Raven's desk. * Miroku: Do you really have to be that cruel? You're going to leave our readers to wonder what happens next? Raven: Oh, yes my dear, Miro- san. *Nods head * Miroku: coughcoughliarcoughcough Raven: I'll pretend I didn't hear that! Any way! What are we going to do about the next chapter? Miroku: You could. whispers in Raven's ear *Raven giggles * Raven & Miroku: See you later! *Waves to readers. *
To everyone: Hope you like it. Even though I was told not to worry about what others think. *thinks back to most recent review * I really would like to know. Any suggestions are welcome. Thank you to all who posted reviews, but if I don't get any more soon, I don't know what I would do. So, once again, Arigato to the people who reviewed and gomen to those who are disappointed with me. Ja ne! ~ Raven's Angel ~ *When life gives you wings, take them and fly to the stars. ~ Quote from Raven's best friend, Red_ Dracco ~*
