The Other Hanyou
Chapter 2: Kagome Worries
a/n: I'm back! Thanks for all the great reviews, even if there are only 2 so far! (as of 8:59 PM 5/28/03) This chappie is longer, but only a little, also this is the first diolouge! (sp? n/m who cares!) And now for your feature presentation... Oh yeah, DISCLAIMER: Inu Yasha doesn't belong to me yet, he is the brainchild of someone else (ooo, I wonder who! lol, j/k).
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Meanwhile, the others anxiously followed Inu Yasha on Kirara a fair distance away. Kagome was fiddling with a strand of her jet black hair while worrying about her friend. 'I wonder why Inu Yasha was so nervous,' she thought, 'almost as if he was hiding something...hmm, I wonder...' Kagome pondered the strange behavior the hanyou displayed, 'He was fidgeting a lot,' she remembered, 'and I wonder why he told us to stay a couple of miles behind. Ususally he carries me to the demon so I can pinpoint exactly where the shard is on the demon, but today it was almost as if he didn't want me there of some reason. I wonder why.' Shippou, noticing his honorary mother's expression, jumped onto her shoulder and put a tiny, clawed hand on her cheek. Shaking the dazed look of her face, Kagome aknowledged her companion for the first time all morning. "Oh, good morning, Shippou."
"Is something wrong Onii-chan?" Shippou asked in a very concerned tone. [a/n: I think Shippou calls Kagome "Onii-chan" in the show, I could be wrong though.]
"Ah, no Shippou, I'm fine, just think about Inu Yasha."
"Oh! I get it!" Shippou said in a knowing voice while he snapped his fingers [a/n: as well as any kitsune demon could, I guess!], "You're worried, aren't you! Because Inu Yasha didn't take you with him like he normally does!" Shippou seemed ver smug that he figured out what was wrong.
"No! Well, maybe a little," Kagome admitted sheepishly, "I just don't know why he was acting so weird."
Up until now, Sango and Miroku had been silently watching the exchange with raised eyebrows and mild interest, but now Miroku spoke. "Perhaps Inu Yasha-kun feared for your safety, Kagome-chan. There was also something I sensed that was a little strange, the demon, or demoness rather, reminded me of Inu Yasha-kun, of his aura anyways. Perhaps he sensed it too and wanted to investigate first without up around to distract him." Miroku thought he made perfect sense, if he had to say so himself [a/n: and he DID have to say it himself, too!]
"Oh... I see..." Kagome said quietly, but inside she was a torrent of missmatched emotions anf thoughts. 'Ehy didn't he tell me? Doesn't he trust me? I don't care! Yes I do... I wish he would tell me more!' It went on and on. Slowly she climed over to Sango, who was directing Kirara [a/n: I'm guessing thats what she does when they ride the 'lil cat demon] and whispered in her ear, "Do you think we could maybe speed up? I want to catch up to Inu Yasha. If we do, can you stay down wind? I want to see whats different with this demon with out him sensing us, at least no yet." Sango nodded and silently nudged Kirara into a higher pace, understanding how her best friend felt. 'Here I come, Inu Yasha!' Kagome thought, 'Ready or not!'
