Chapter Two
"Kagome!" shrieked a flying ball of fur. The girl in question barley managed to keep her balance as Shippou landed on her chest. She laughed at the little kitsune; it was becoming something of a routine every time she came back from the well. She looked around the hut, but spotted no one else.
"Where is everyone?" Shippou looked up. "Kaede is out gathering herbs, Sango is at the lake, and Miroku…"
Suddenly, an outcry pierced the air, sending birds and small animals running for cover. "HENTAI!" A loud smack quickly followed, causing both Kagome and Shippou to wince.
"Miroku will probably be here in a few seconds" Shippou continued.
They watched as an angry Inuyasha left the tree he was leaning against and strode briskly in the direction of the lake. A few seconds passed, and he reappeared dragging a black and blue bundle. He dropped Miroku (who else would the bruised bundle be?) in front of the pair.
"You know, Kagome, it's possible that one of these days you're going to be gone home long enough for Miroku to grope himself to death." Kagome smiled. "That didn't sound quite right Shippou…but I know what you mean."
Hearing Inuyasha's huffed "Feh…" she looked in his direction. The hanyou leaned against the tree once more, his profile showing. Kagome's spirits immediately dampened as she thought back to the previous weeks. Inuyasha had become…distant, and strangely silent. Ever since Kikyou died. Again. A groan from the monk at her feet snapped her from her reverie.
She smiled as she extended a hand to help the beaten houshi from the ground. Since their declaration of love to one another, Miroku's hands wandered only on Sango. Even though she still smacked him for it. Inuyasha was still wary of the monk, and his head snapped around as he watched the monk with narrowed eyes for any signs of relapse near Kagome.
"Lady Kagome" Miroku smiled, as he stood up. "I see you're back-" he dropped her hand at the low growl from the demon behind him. "And looking lovely as ever."
Three things happened- a scream was heard, Inuyasha decorated Miroku's skull with more bruises (him associating "screaming" with "wandering hands") and a very frightened kitsune dashed out of Kagome's bag where he had been searching for sweets. This time, however, he hit Kagome with enough force that the bewildered teen ended up on the ground.
"Shippou, Shippou, what's wrong?"
Inuyasha let go of Miroku's robes, causing him to land on the ground beside Kagome. "What happened?" Everyone's attention was turned to the shivering fox in Kagome's arms. That is, everyone conscious.
He pointed to the large pack, which, by now was moving very noticeably. "It's…a…it's a…a demon!" Inuyasha growled, as everyone's attention was now focused on the bag. A large bulge showed through the side, as something struggled it's way slowly to the top of the pack. Finally, after what seemed hours, a pair of furry ears could be seen at the top of the bag. A pair of strangely familiar ears…at least to Kagome…
"Inuyasha!" She cried, panicking. He was poised, ready to strike…
"Osuwari!" She closed her eyes…oh, Kami, let me have been in time…she opened them.
Inuyasha was face first, inches from her pack. She leaped up, overjoyed. Now, if she was correct…
A very familiar, and very furred face popped from her bag. "Buyo!"
"Buyo?!"
