CHAPTER 2
"Inuyasha, if we don't take a break this instant I'm never going to make you Ramen noodles again!" Kagome yelled. Inuyasha spun around and looked at Kagome. "That's just plain cruel," He muttered and sat on a nearby rock. "Kagome, I'm hungry." said Shippo, with those cute puppy eyes. "Aww, poor thing, I'll cook you something from my bag," Kagome said, cradling Shippo in her arms. "Hey! What about me!" yelled Inuyasha. "You will be getting the water if you ever want to eat again," said Kagome calmly. Inuyasha started to say something, but it was no use, Kagome had already started to set up for the meal. "That girl." Inuyasha muttered as he went off to get some water.~~~
"What did you just do?" Asked Sesshoumaru, unable to hide his shock. Tenshi looked up at him, "I don't know." Sesshoumaru looked into the girl's eyes to see nothing but sadness, shock, and innocence. "No matter," He said, "fruit is very plentiful in these parts and I don't need to eat human food." Tenshi looked up at him to see a half smile go across his face. "Jaken, go get some more fruit," Sesshoumaru said, not taking his eyes from Tenshi's. He didn't know why he was so kind to this creature; it was just something about her. "I'm sorry about the animal. I don't know what came over me," Tenshi said, lowering her eyes a bit. "I told you, it's alright," Sesshoumaru said. Tenshi laughed a little and then shivered. Her clothes were tattered, and the cold night was too much for her. Sesshoumaru took note of this, walked over and sat down beside her. He then wrapped his fluff-thing around her shoulders and threw a stick into the fire to make its flame bigger. Tenshi laid her head on his shoulder and slowly drifted into sleep.~~~~
Inuyasha, Kagome, and Shippo had just finished eating. "That was great!" yelled Shippo happily, "You're a great cook Kagome!" "I know. Now if only Inuyasha would admit it." She said, turning to look at Inuyasha who was lying down by the fire. "Why should I lie?" He asked without even opening his eyes. Kagome growled and hit Inuyasha upside the head with her metal spoon. "Hey! What was that for?" He asked as a lump appeared on his head. "You should know never to insult a women's cooking!" She yelled. "You're a woman? I thought you had to be pretty and mature to be one." Inuyasha said, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "Your all talk Inuyasha! If my cooking was bad then you wouldn't hog it down like you do!" Kagome said and sat down. A rustle started to come from the bushes and Inuyasha stood up. Then a young man and woman's head popped out. "Miroku! Sango!" Kagome yelled, running over to her friends. Sango was a tall black haired woman with a boomerang type weapon. Miroku was an amorous monk that had a black hole, which would one day kill him, as a weapon. "Kirara!" Shippo squealed and went to hug the cat-demon-thing. "Hi Kagome!" Miroku said, "You're looking just as good as ever!" Kagome ignored the monk's remark and walked over to Sango. "How were you able to find us?" She asked. "They probably smelled your awful cooking," Inuyasha said casually. "Actually," Sango said before Kagome hurt Inuyasha, "We heard you two arguing." "She started it!" Cried Inuyasha. "Did not!" yelled Kagome. "Alright you two, lets set a good example for the kids," Sango said, motioning at Miroku and Shippo. "Hey! I'm not a kid!" yelled Miroku in a whining tone. "Sure," replied Sango. Everyone but Miroku laughed. "Anyway, " Said Kagome, interrupting Sango and Miroku's quarrel, "Did you see the bright flash of light earlier?" "Yeah, we were on are way to check it out when we ran into you," Sango said. "Great, now if it's some evil demon guy we can knock the stuffing out of him!" Kagome laughed. At that Kagome, Inuyasha, Shippo, Sango, and Miroku, began the journey to find out what caused the light.~~~
It was at least an hour until Jaken returned with the food, but the girl still slept soundly against Sesshoumaru's warm body. Before the little toad could say anything Sesshoumaru gave him a look that said it all. If Jaken said anything about this, he would die. "M.Master, I have brought the food," Jaken said quickly. "Very well, we shall eat when she awakens," Sesshoumaru said while lying back on the cave wall to rest. Just as Sesshoumaru was about to drift into sleep Tenshi sat up and screamed. She sat up quickly and was covered in a cold sweat. "What is wrong?" Sesshoumaru asked. Tenshi sat there staring at the wall a moment then started to shake like she was cold. "Tenshi?" Sesshoumaru asked with more empathy. "I was.was falling and my wings." She started to say but fell against Sesshoumaru and started to weep. He cradled her in his arms for a moment and then looked at Jaken. The servant got the point and quickly left the cave. "Don't worry, you are safe with me. None would dare face me," He said. Tenshi looked up to him with teary eyes and kinda smiled. "I'm sorry. The dream was just so.so real," She said as a tear went down her cheek. Sesshoumaru wiped it from her cheek and laid her head on his shoulder. "Don't worry about it," He said. Sesshoumaru suddenly got the sent of blood and noticed some dripping from Tenshi's back. "Tenshi, are you hurt?" "I-I'm fine.just tired." "Ok. Go back to sleep."
"Goodnight Sesshoumaru" "Night Tenshi." It had only been a couple days since he had found this girl, yet she seemed to have pierced something in his cold heart.~~~
"It's been three days since the strange light. Do you even know where were going?" asked Kagome impatiently. "I know where were going, now shut up and walk!" He yelled at her. "Inuyasha why are you always so mean to me?" Kagome asked, a little teary- eyed. Inuyasha looked back at her with shock. He didn't mean to hurt her. "Don't cry! I'm not being mean; I'm just trying to toughen you up a bit. I mean, you don't want to cry in front of Sesshoumaru or someone and get embarrassed do you?" Inuyasha asked truthfully. "I didn't know you cared." Kagome said looking at the ground and blushing a bit. Inuyasha's eyes narrowed. "I don't! I just don't want you to make a fool out of me!" He yelled, trying to cover up his small show of emotion. "Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled. Sango watched the two and laughed silently. Kagome was so blind; even she could tell Inuyasha cared deeply for Kagome. As Sango watched Kagome and Inuyasha bicker, Miroku had plans of his own. Slowly he reached his arm around Sango and rested it on her shoulders. As soon as he put it down Sango grabbed him and flung him over her shoulder in between the fighting couple. "Ouch." Miroku said as he twitched on the ground. "Miroku you baka! Haven't I told you before? YOU'RE NOT COURTING ME! " Sango yelled at him. "Well it was worth a try." He said as he slowly got up. "Let's just go before Kagome and I kick some demon and monk butt," Sango said and started off. "HEY!" Inuyasha and Miroku said together, but Kagome and Sango were already walking ahead of them.~~
"Inuyasha, if we don't take a break this instant I'm never going to make you Ramen noodles again!" Kagome yelled. Inuyasha spun around and looked at Kagome. "That's just plain cruel," He muttered and sat on a nearby rock. "Kagome, I'm hungry." said Shippo, with those cute puppy eyes.
