Chapter three
Author's notes: yay I'm updating, praise me with all the mightiness of praise.
*Squeals* I just watched Inu-yasha Movie 2: castle beyond the looking glass with Sleep Walking Chicken! It was so cute! So cute! OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!! It's my new favorite movie of all time and what's great is that Sleep Walking Chicken got it for only five dollars! It's such a cute movie, I love it so much. Now I feel all fluffy inside~
Maiden of the Moon: I'm so glad you like my story, its great knowing that such a good writer such as yourself likes my stories!
Crystal Sapphire: eh? I don't think I really understand your review, gomen nasi, I'm not very good with English, considering it's my second language.
Fowlet: I'm so glad you like the series!
Sukera: I'll try and make it as funny as I can without making it totally stupid ^_^
Sleep walking chicken and HAP: and people ask why I love you? *Shakes head* and for all you weird hentais out there, I meant in a sisterly way. I am straight! Thank you!
Silver Phoenix7: yeah it is a cliffy, but I did update like two days after I posted it. So I think we'll all live, ne?
~*~
They walked in silence until a youkai with silver hair appeared in front of them, a little girl hidden behind him.
The youkai smirked evilly, "Hello little brother, you'll be coming with me now."
~*~
Kagome made a little squeaky noise in the back of her throat and hid behind Inu-yasha. He shrugged her off harshly and glared at Sesshoumaru.
Kagome whimpered as Inu-yasha's elbow dug into her for a split second and she gripped his shoulders again. She heard a growl that sounded a lot like a dog coming from the strange boy in front of her and she peered over her shoulder to stare at the very big man with long silver hair before her.
Behind the man was a girl that looked a little like her. She smiled meekly at the girl who grinned back. The two kept eye contact before the two skipped over to each other. "Hi my name's Kagome, what's yours?"
"Rin!" the girl said happily and they both giggled for some unknown reason.
Sesshoumaru looked unfazed and Inu-yasha looked annoyed.
Kagome and Rin started to play tag and seemed totally uncaring about the fact Sesshoumaru was trying to kidnap them.
Inu-yasha snorted, "And why would we follow you?"
Sesshoumaru didn't answer, instead he picked up Rin and Kagome and put them on the weird two-headed horse thing and picked up Inu-yasha by his head, tucking him underneath his arm, ignoring his brother's protests and biting.
Inu-yasha gnawed on Sesshoumaru in hopes of releasing him but Sesshoumaru either didn't notice or didn't care and continued to walk as Kagome and Rin giggled at the comical sight in front of them.
~*~
Two hours later Inu-yasha had his arms crossed over his chest had scowl on his face. He glared at Sesshoumaru who had readjusted his position and had placed Inu-yasha on his shoulder. He sat on the weird fluffy thing on his shoulder and every once in a while would flick his brother's elfin ear.
Sesshoumaru fought the urge to throw his younger hanyou half-brother into a larger demon's mouth or down a cliff as they journeyed in nowhere in particular. He didn't know where he wanted to go, and he was pretty stuck at finding out his brother had become a chibi again. Today was not his day, he decided.
When Inu-yasha leaned in to bite his ear he glared at the vermin that is his brother and the child quickly shut his mouth and turned away with a grunt.
And that wench Kagome was really starting to piss him off. As if Rin didn't talk enough as it is, he didn't need Kagome making it worse. Inu-yasha noticed his death glare at Kagome and he scooted closer to his brother. Leaning over her said quietly, "why don't you kill her?"
Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow at his younger brother. Judging by his size, he would be around six years old, and Kagome appeared around four or five years old. He glanced at his brother, why on earth would he want him to kill his human wench.
Inu-yasha cracked his knuckles.
"I have no intention of killing the girl," Sesshoumaru said smoothly.
Inu-yasha smirked, "Good."
Sesshoumaru raised an eyebrow at this. Even now, at six years old, Inu- yasha was protective of his wench?
~*~
The three children sat at the edge of the riverbank, Kagome's feet dipped into the cold depths and Rin half way towards the other side, searching for fish. Inu-yasha watched from a rock in the middle of the river, having hoped there in his boredom. He watched with mild interest as Kagome and Rin tried unsuccessfully to catch fish for Sesshoumaru.
"Inu-yasha! Look I caught a fish!" Kagome smiled happily and held up a small fish the size of her hand. Inu-yasha raised an eyebrow and smirked.
"I could do better than that," Inu-yasha said in a matter-of-fact voice. His smirked widened and he crossed his arms across his chest and stuck out his tongue.
"You're mean!" Kagome whimpered and threw the fish at Inu-yasha.
Inu-yasha, not expecting to see the fish coming directly at his face made a failed attempt to hop off the rock but tripped over his own feet. As he opened his mouth to yelp, the fish flew in and he made a disgusted face. He then proceeded to fall into the river face first, doing a nice rendition of a belly flop, only worse.
Kagome and Rin giggled with delight as Inu-yasha broke the surface, his face in a huge scowl. He stood up and stomped across the river and over to Kagome. Glaring dangerously at her, he reached under his shirt and pulled out two fish and threw them onto the bank of the river. He smirked at getting bigger and more fish then Kagome and proceeded to push the poor girl into the river.
Kagome sat in the river as water washed over her and she looked up at Inu- yasha's triumphant face. She glared half-heartedly at him before bursting into tears.
She stood up and slapped Inu-yasha's wet cheek and ran into the woods. Inu- yasha stood there dumbfounded and feeling very guilty.
Rin made a snorting noise and glared at Inu-yasha, "Rin thinks you're a jerk."
Inu-yasha's ears drooped sadly and he stared at the fish on the bank, sighing he pushed the two into the river with his foot and ran after Kagome.
Rin stood in the middle of the river and she slumped, "Rin's all alone again."
~*~
"Kagome!" Kagome turned at the sound of her name, she was all wet and tears were running down her soft little cheeks. Seeing whom it was she turned away with a huff and refused to look at Inu-yasha. "Kagome!"
"Go away, Inu-yasha," Kagome said sadly she turned towards him and walked up to him, at the last moment she side stepped and walked back the way she came, leaving Inu-yasha feeling guiltier than ever.
He snarled at her stupidity and walked after her, giving her some space, as he did so he tripped over his own feet again and fell face first in front of a small pink flower.
He blinked at the flower. It had a sweet fragrance, and smelled somewhat like Kagome. Smirking he picked the smile and started to run after her. Tripping again.
~*~
Kagome sat away from the river underneath a tree, watching Rin scoop of some fish and show them to Sesshoumaru, who was leaning against a tree on the other side of the river. Kagome sniffed, falling in the river having given her a cold. Rin had been so kind as to offer her one of her kimonos to wear until her other outfit dried. Unknown to them, Sesshoumaru had thrown that outfit in the river and it was currently floating down towards whereever the river ended.
Inu-yasha had stolen one of Sesshoumaru's hakamas and had swiped at it with his claws so that it would fit him better. He tied the white hakama firmly around his waist with the extra sliced hakama. He also wore a cut up red haori that Sesshoumaru never wore because he didn't like red. Inu-yasha grinned with satisfaction when he stood up with a new outfit that was much more comfortable. Sticking his hands into the sleeves of the haori he hoped across the river in a single bound ((that sounded like superman)) and hid behind a tree as he stared at Kagome.
She was staring at her now sandaled feet with curiosity as a small caterpillar crawled across it on its journey to find a place to become a butterfly. Kagome giggled as the insect tickled her toes and went on its way. Kagome waved to it in a childish manner and didn't see Inu-yasha approach until he was sitting next to her.
She glanced at him. he sat like a dog, his weight resting on the balls of his feet as his hands resided on the ground, bracing himself and keeping his balance. Now that Kagome got a look at him, he looked like a frog on a Lilly pad. One of his ears was drooped sadly and the other was perked forward listening for any resistance. She stiffened and didn't make eye contact with him. She was still mad at the fact that Inu-yasha had dumped her into a river.
He scooted closer to her and she glared at him, "What do you want?"
Inu-yasha's perked ear drooped with his other and he had the pathetic puppy look, his eyes big and huge with sadness as he flopped down onto his butt, having finally lost his balance. He fiddled with the tie holding up the new hakama replacing the wet jeans her used to be wearing.
"Well?" Kagome asked, her impatience evident in her five-year-old voice.
Inu-yasha bowed his head and pulled something out of his haori. It was grasped firmly in his hand as he tossed it to her. She blinked and looked at it. It was a little pink flower. The stem was snapped near the top, as if it was gripped tightly and it was missing two petals, looking wilted and old. Kagome looked at it in confusion.
Taking her hesitance as a bad sign Inu-yasha turned away with a light blush on his face, "I know its kind of ugly looking now, but I thought you'd like it because it smells like you."
He fidgeted, "I'm sorry, I'll go now."
He stood up sadly, dusting the bits of grass off the white hakama and started to walk away, before Kagome smiled and stood up, grabbing his hand. His clawed hand instantly clasped around hers. He looked at her in confusion.
Kagome smiled shyly and placed the flower behind her ear, "It's pretty, thank you."
Inu-yasha scowled, "Its ugly, you're just saying that."
"It's not ugly," Kagome giggled and blushed again, letting go of his hand she held her cheeks, hiding the blush, she giggled again, "It's pretty because it's from you."
Inu-yasha blushed too but smiled innocently.
Kagome rolled up her kimono and started towards the river, "come on and help me catch some fish inu-chan!"
Inu-yasha blinked but chased after her happily.
