Inu-Yasha; A Feudal Fairy Tale
Chapter Six
"Yes, I would love to."
"Thank you so much!" Kagome smiled at the elder girl. "I'm… having flashes of memories, ones you said… and some you didn't." She bite her lip.
"Like what?" Sango wondered, she had been pretty thorough, but there was also the stuff before she joined the group, and times they had separated.
"Well, Inu-Yasha, and he's fighting a woman, and the room is covered in skulls, and there's hair every where, then-and Inu-Yasha can't see it, and her power is coming out of one skull, and I tell him, he smashes it, and there's a…" She scrunched her eyes in thought, "A comb, there's a comb and he brakes the comb, and the woman, Yura or something like that, dies, and… I don't remember the rest." Kagome sighed; this had been one of the more full flashbacks.
"Yura, invisible hair…" Sango bit her lip trying to remember if Kagome had told her about this before. "The first demon you two killed!" She smiled, this was good she was remembering only the early things, but it was a start.
"Really! Lets go tell-" Kagome jumped out of the water, and the heard a crash, and a soft, "Shh, quite monk!"
"I think the already know." Sango rapped a towel over herself, and handed one to Kagome, who followed her lead.
"Erm, hello…" Inu-Yasha tried to look innocent. "What a, um, what a coincidence." It didn't work.
"What? Oh, yes, coincidence." Miroku spoke only after Inu-Yasha had elbowed him.
"I'd believe you except for the fact that your starting!" Sango hit the houshi with a rock.
"Osawarii!" Kagome yelled without thinking, and was rewarded by Inu-Yasha slamming into the ground. "What? Sorry Otou-San!"
"What? How does she know about that? And why does it work.?" Miroku wondered out loud.
"Well, I'm kinda remembering things, and this was so similar, it just came out… sorry." She bowed her head.
"So, she is Kagome…" Miroku tapped her head, "But it seems ever thing is stored up here."
Kagome giggled, and playful knocked his hand away, like she would to a big brother. "Miroku-kun!" She wined.
"Come on, let's go." He grabbed Inu-Yasha dragged him off.
"Sango-san? What's wrong, you look sad?" Sango forced a smile and shock her head.
"No, I'm fine."
"It's Miroku-kun isn't it! I knew it! You like-" Kagome was cut off by Sango covering her mouth.
"Shut up." Sango growled at the young youkai, who grinned under the hand. "Come on." She dropped her hand and the got dressed and left.
As soon as they were out of ear shot Inu-Yasha stopped Miroku. "Were you hitting on my daughter?"
It was a simple, straight question that demanded a simple, straight answer; unfortunately Miroku did not realize this. "Me? And what makes you think this." He joked.
To bad for him, Inu-Yasha did not think it was funny. "Maybe the fact you try to sleep with every fucking woman you meet!" He started slam Miroku into a tree, who ducked.
"At least I wasn't in love with my own daughter!" Miroku dodged another blow sent by the desperate father.
"Shut the fucking hell UP!!"
Miroku jumped back, surprised to see red growing in the hanyou's eyes. "Inu-Yasha stop!" He hit the angered man in side of the neck, right before where the shoulder connected. "I think of her a sister!"
Inu-Yasha slumped to ground one hand over the welt growing on his neck, the other out holding a peace of cloth he had grabbed. "I-I'm sorry…" He lowered his head and moved his hair away from his neck. To a demon this was a gesture of respect, saying that they were wrong to attack.
"It's all right." Miroku kneeled next to him. "If a person like me went to my daughter, I would-annoyed, also." He stood up, and dragged his friend up with after him.
"Lets go back to camp." Inu-Yasha staggered slightly, still holding his neck.
"Sorry about that." Miroku tapped the tip of the welt with his staff. A cool sensation spread for it. "So, who was this 'Yura'?" Miroku asked.
"So you were listening, not just staring." Inu-Yasha grinned, and stretched his neck back. "She was the first youkai, well real youkai, we faced. She had this invisible hair stuff."
"Ew, like, where'd the hair come from, ew." He shuddered.
"Not there!" He hit the priest on the head. "She cut of people's hair and used that." He shock his head, "Perverted houshi."
"Just wondering…" He said defensively
"Normal people don't just 'wonder' about those sort of…" Inu-Yasha trailed off. Standing in front of them ws Kikyo, her arms around her knees watching the fire, this in it's own right would not have been stange, but the fire was a little blue, and shapes flickered in it.
"What do you see?" Kaida put her hand on the miko's shoulder.
"He's getting more powerful, I'm afraid that we must do to the cave of Midoriko, to train Kagome, for she will be our savior." She stoode up and waved her hand over the fire, wich became red and perfectly normal.
"I'll make dinner, have Inu-Yasha get some meat, and could you find a spring or a stream near?" She asked, and pulled a packet of spices, dried vegetables and noodles out of her pack.
"Alright." Kikyo nodded. "Inu-Yasha!" She yelled. "Go get some meat. Bring the houshi with you!" She turned away from them and left, to find a spring.
"I saw a rabbit over there." Kaida pointed to the west.
"Yeah, yeah fine." Inu-Yasha waved it off and followed his nose, also telling him to go west.
"Good luck, protector."
