*yawn* What time is it?
Too early, now go back to sleep.
What about Operation Bishi? *Denvy is wide-awake*It's over with. Now go to sleep.
*pout* Fine lazys sleep. I'm going to post the next chapter! *turns to you with evil smile on her face* You maybe wondering what our plan was…well let's just say…we got Sesshoumaru back!
I don't enjoy being held prisoner by you 3.
You're not our prisoner! *pout* Don't you like us?
*rolls his eyes*
Well, I'll tell you what we did! Yume and Ayumi distracted the guards while I sprayed Sessy with chibi-spray! He became small enough to put in my pocket and I snuck him out of the building!
And you're proud of this? Look at me! I'm small!
It makes you cuddlier!
*look of fear is now plastered on his face* Ummm…uh…next chapter…please?
Inuyasha slept in a tree at the base of the mountain. He needed rest, since he had run all the way here.
In the morning he went into the cave. He could smell several different fire youkai, and a family of cat youkai, but no Kagome. Since her scent had long since faded, Inuyasha resorted to his other youkai senses. He could only sense one human, the trace was faint but he assumed it was Kagome.
Inuyasha worked his way through several tunnels, avoiding the fire youkai as much as possible. He made his way to a room. The door had no window but he could smell Kagome, and she was sick. He made quick work of the lock and opened the door. Kagome was asleep on a pile of cushions towards the back of the room.
He quickly went over to her and placed his hand on her forehead. Her skin burned beneath his fingers and he could understand why, the room was absolutely unbearably hot. He picked her up and hugged her to his chest. She has no idea how much I care. He noticed the broken chain around her neck and assumed Elys had taken the shards. He would take care of Elys later but first he had to get Kagome out of here. He worked his way back to the entrance of the cave. He avoided all the youkai; it would be best not to fight while he had a hold of Kagome.
Inuyasha reached the entrance and climbed down the mountain, it was hard with Kagome in his arms but he managed. Inuyasha walked for a while and found somewhat of a shelter under some trees whose limbs had grown together to create a canopy. Inuyasha found a pile of leaves and lay Kagome down. He searched for a stream and found one not too far from the canopy. He tore off a piece of his shirt and soaked it in the water. Carefully placing it on Kagome's forehead he lay down next to her to watch her sleep. It was one of his favorite hobbies, watching her sleep, and he would have enjoyed it more if he weren't so worried about her. She kept tossing and turning in her sleep. The cloth on her forehead kept coming off and Inuyasha kept placing it back on her head.
After several minutes of constant tossing and turning, Inuyasha just wanted her to stop. He wrapped his arms around her body and she stopped moving. Her breathing became a regular rhythm of slumber and he knew she would be okay now. But he didn't want to let her go. For all the times he saved her life, this was his reward. Holding Kagome in his arms he sat up and laid her against himself. He rested his chin on top of her head and breathed in her warm, flowery scent. In that position he too fell asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Elys was furious. That girl left! After I told her to stay! But that wasn't what was bothering her. The lock on the door had been broken from the outside. No one had seen anything suspicious so she left the cave in search of her prisoner. The girl from the future. Elys had no keen sense of smell to track the girl with but she could track as good as any man or youkai without her nose. A broken twig here and foot print there, and she found herself walking towards a canopy of trees. Silently she crept towards the canopy. What she found surprised her. Inuyasha was holding that girl in his arms, and both were fast asleep. Well, the girl was. Inuyasha could smell Elys and one if his eyes opened. He got up slowly and placed Kagome on the leaves.
"Well, well, if it isn't Elys."
"Inuyasha."
Inuyasha cut straight to the point. "Why did you kidnap Kagome?"
"That girl?" Elys's eyes started to fire up, "She had the Shikon shards."
Inuyasha drew Tetsusaiga. "Where are the shards?" He growled.
"A place where you won't get them, you dirty half-breed," she said with as much taunting as she could muster.
Inuyasha wouldn't be drawn into a fight by the likes of her. He stood in his most defensive stance and said in a very threatening tone, "Leave Kagome alone."
The fire in Elys's eye never ceased. "Oh? Has the little half-breed gone and fell in love a human? A miko, above all else." She laughed at Inuyasha. "Your pathetic. First, your father, now you. I guess it always is "like father, like son". Your mother was nothing but a dirty ningen."
Now she'd done it. No one insults Inuyasha's mother, and lives.
Inuyasha rushed at Elys. But Elys had been ready. Fire flew into her hands and she started by throwing it at Inuyasha. Inuyasha used Tetsusaiga to block each fireball. He drove her towards the stream he had found earlier. They were feet from it and Elys hadn't noticed yet. Inuyasha started to rush at her with head on attacks and Elys was inches from the stream.
"Goodbye, Elys," he said and with on more attack she fell into the water. Elys screamed. Inuyasha hadn't expected this. It hurt his ears and he had to cover them with is hands. He threw Tetsusaiga at her and pierced her heart. The screaming faded and Inuyasha lowered his hands.
Kagome awoke when the screaming started and relaxed when it stopped. She noticed how she had been lying on a pile of leaves and was very curious as to what was going on.
End of the chapter!
*cowering in corner of the room*
Come on Sessy, I won't hurt you…
Ahhh!
Ja minna!
