In the episode that Inuyasha and Sesshomaru first fought over Tetsusaiga
and when you first see Sesshy's true form or whatever, he ( Sess.) does
this little hair flip/comb through. Sorry. I found it funny. Now that
that's out of my system....Disclaimer : I don't own Inuyasha.
Predictable Chaos - Stop and Smell the Roses
Kagome stretched her weakened limbs and tried to stand. She succeeded even though it hurt to walk. She rubbed her dry eyes and walked out into the morning. Sunrise was still able to take her breath away. It seemed as if the whole forest before her hid a million diamonds in their company. The sun created a light shimmer as it hit the morning dew. Kagome yawned and stepped out onto the dirt. Had the night before been a dream and there were no actual ' Kalea ' or 'youkai Inuyasha' ? Kagome turned her head to a slight shuffle against the wall. Sesshomaru sat there, underneath a window and peering at the sunrise just like Kagome.
Sesshomaru hoped that Kagome hadn't caught his sudden movement. Everything would be akward with her now. He hadn't slept all night, in case someone entered the hut and took advantage of the powerless goddess. He felt the gaze still resting on him. Man, how he wished that he had never kissed her that day in the caverns. What did she expect of him now? He watched as the girl just smiled and turned around to go back inside. Sesshomaru sighed in relief. He shifted his weight to make himself more comfortable.
Kagome caught the floral perfume of roses before she entered the small back room. Kalea laid there, the blanket just below her waist. She smiled weakly at Kagome and pulled at a few runaway platinum and rust coils that had fallen in her face. She looked much older than the day before. She stepped lightly over to the side of the deity's bed.
"Feeling better?" Kalea brought a quick finger up to her own lips to shush Kagome and pointed to the corner. Kagome followed the pointing finger to a sleeping hanyou. His breathing was even and healthy sounding, or at least Kagome prayed that it was healthy. Kalea grinned at Kagome's excitement.
"He wouldn't let me give him the bed last night. Ignorant bastard." Kagome did her best to conceal a giggle.
"At least you have your sense of humor back..." Kalea waved off the compliment. She held up a mirror in front of her face and traced her finespun curls.
"Gr! Can you believe this?! I got a gray hair!" Kagome lowered her head.
"It's my fault...I stayed too long and caused you to lose all your energy."
"Yep. It sure is."
"Sorry about your gray hair." A snicker escaped Kalea's pale lips and finally turned into a full laugh.
"Kagome! Are you serious?! You actually think I get gray hairs?! Even if it did happen, it would disappear in a matter of hours." Kagome paid the woman a cheerful smile. Kalea altered her weight and raised herself up to get out of bed. Two small hands pushed her back down. Kalea gave Kagome a perplexed look.
"No...you're too weak. Just stay in bed for awhile and i'll get breakfeast going." Kagome started to scamper out of the bedroom, but was tripped by a foot..a human foot. A blanket covered the rest of the body . Kagome gently pulled back the blanket and discovered the snoozing miko underneath.
"She's still here?"
"I did alot to her last night. I'd be exhausted too."
"Does Inuyasha know she's here?" Kalea nodded.
"He wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't acknowledged her being here."
"We should get her out of here before Inuyasha wakes up and has another one of his 'confrontations' with her.." Kalea shook her head.
"No, Kagome. They have things they need to work out before moving on. Just like you and Sessy."
"How do you know what happened?"
"Sessy's a very cold speaker and won't let you in on anything's he's thinking, but he's a very careless thinker. I tapped into his thoughts for a moment and saw a kiss shared between a certain someone and himself." Kagome blushed.
"It didn't mean anything..."
"You don't realize how many people that kiss affected." Kagome subtly exited the room.
"Lady Kagome! Where are you?! We are in dire need of you medical supplies!!" Miroku raced through the hut with a tight bundle connected to his chest trying to find Kagome. Kagome hustled in through the back entrance.
"Miroku? What's wrong?" Miroku unwrapped the cluster grasping his robes and revealed a child.
"Have a nice trip, monk?" Kalea stood in the doorway, disobeying the order Kagome had given earlier. The priest threw her a glare and then refocused his attention back on the child.
"Lady Rin sprained her ankle on the way back over here."
"Why didn't you let her ride on Kirara?" Miroku's cheeks reddened.
"She was riding on Kirara..."
"Oh....um..ok....I have to go back to my time and get the accurate supplies and some crutches. Put some herbs on the ankle to ease the pain for now and i'll be back in a jiff."
"Lady Kagome, I advise that you do not travel alone. We encountered a disturbing youkai along the way and do not yet know if he was traveling alone. " Kagome bit her bottom lip. Who was strong enough to handle demons at the moment? Kalea crossed her arms.
"Sesshomaru will escort you."
"No I won't!", came the reply from outside the bedroom window. Kalea rolled her orchid eyes and walked up next to the window.
"Yes you will!"
"No I won't!"
"What about Rin?"
"What about Rin? You heard the girl, they can put herbs on the ankle and ease her pain."
"She needs proper treatmeant Sessy..." Kalea leaned out the open outlet and grabbed on to a lock of silver hair. "If you don't, i'll tell everyone about your rendezvous with the teenager..."
"Fine. I'll ESCORT her to the blasted well."
"And WAIT for her return..."
"You're pushing it!
"DO IT!" Sesshomaru stood up and walked around to the front entryway. Kagome left the presence of the goddess, the monk, and Rin. Kalea approached the priest.
"So where are the others?"
"Still looking for cherry blossoms. I'm getting the feeling we didn't need them after all..."
"You're quite the quick one letch." Kalea altered her approach to the bedroom door and stopped dead in her tracks.
"Uh-ohhhh." Miroku sat the child down, leaving Rin with her sniffles and sprained ankle, and rushed to Kalea's side. His eyes traced the room and found only a small bed with tossed blankets and sleeping Kikyo.
"Where's Inuyasha?"
"Your guess is as good as mine, monk. If he overheard my threat to Sesshomaru...my best bet is he's catching up with him at this very moment. "
"Is that a bad thing?"
"Is Inuyasha still an irrational and jealous person?"
"Yes."
"Considering he took Tetsusaiga with him, then yes, it's a bad thing. Grab the clay..corpse...chick thingy and i'll grab Rin."
"Where are we taking them?"
"With us."
"Yes i'm quite aware of that but to what place?"
"Wherever that well is. We gotta stop Inuyasha from going into a jealous frenzy!" Kalea swept Rin into her arms as Miroku picked up Kikyo and departed out of the hut.
They had a steady pace going for awhile until Kalea came to an immediate standstill. Miroku peeped over his shoulder at the goddess.
"What is it?" Kalea surveyed the air and a complexion of annoyance covered her face.
"Aw damn!"
"What is it?!"
"I didn't think they'd send them to interfere in MY business. I said i'd take care of the jewel and they should've respected that!!"
"Who?!"
"Truth and Justice." Miroku raised a questioning eyebrow.
"Oh for goodness sake! Kei and Ky!"
Next chapter: We meet Kei and Ky and find out what they're all about. Trust me, that's how the questions of the jewel and Inu/Kik/Kag/Sess/Kal thing are answered
