The Cloud of Darkness
Chapter 3- Lost & Invisible
Kagome and Shippo stood gaping at the monstrous slug that Inuyasha had defeated several minutes ago. He had stabbed it's soft underbelly, causing it to fall right on top of him. Although Kagome and Shippo believed he was dead, Inuyasha was still alive, although not very much. He was wedged between two folds of blubber, and the Tetsusaiga was still deep inside the monster.
"Damn it, that stupid fat slug's gonna kill me if I don't get outta here!" Inuyasha cursed from underneath the creature. He managed to pull the Tetsusaiga out from the slug demon, and was just about to come into daylight when he suddenly realized just what the thing was. "You-you're the Soul Reaper! We've been lookin' for ya!" Inuyasha said happily. He climbed out from underneath the slug, and caught a glimpse of Kagome and Shippo just as they left. "Kagome, Shippo, it's me!!!" he cried, fumbling after them. When he rested his hand on Kagome's shoulder, she turned around and looked at him once again.
"INUYASHA!" Kagome cried, burying her face in his robe. He turned red, then pushed her off. I never noticed, but she's got a kind of flower scent about her, Inuyasha thought. But then he punished himself. Kagome was merely a companion, a friend of sorts. Besides, he still liked Kikyo.
"Get offa me, wench! I'm fine, ya hear?" Inuyasha replied, dusting off white slime from his robe. Kagome gave him a hurt expression, and said no more about the incident. Damn, why'd I have to be so cold?, Inuyasha blamed himself. Shippo hopped onto the bicycle.
"We can still use this thing, although it's in pretty bad shape ..." Shippo motioned towards the bent and broken bike. Kagome turned to look at Inuyasha. Did he break it? He had a pretty guilty aura around him, so Kagome decided to call him on it.
"Inuyasha," Kagome asked, her eyes sly and darting, "Did you trash my bike?"
"No ..." Inuyasha began to fiddle with a lock of his hair. "Why'd you ask, you don't think I actually broke it, do you?"
"Actually, I do." Kagome said.
"Well I didn't, and you'd best mind your own damn business." Inuyasha replied.
"It's my bike though, and from what I've heard I'm pretty convinced you trashed it."
"Did not."
"Did too."
"DID NOT!"
"DID-"
Miyouga suddenly popped up from behind a nearby tree. "So, did it go well in there my Lord?" Inuyasha turned to face the cowardly flea. He began to slowly walk up to the flea, towering over Miyouga.
"Yeah, about that Miyouga ..." Inuyasha scratched his head and picked up Miyouga with a mere finger. "Ahem, at first you seemed kind of annoying and cowardly Miyouga, but now ..." Inuyasha's face turned bright for a moment, then darkened. Inuyasha squashed the flea in his hands and shouted, "You're still annoying and cowardly!"
"Yeah, Miyouga. You could've been in there helping Inuyasha fight, but instead you just ran away and hid." Kagome stared unhappily at the tiny flea. Shippo stomped his foot, being a child and beginning to grow impatient.
"Can we just go now?" Inuyasha, Kagome and Miyouga nodded, and then a series of strange and magical events occured. First of all, Shippo sneezed from the sudden cold that came upon the area. Tiny snowflakes began to fall from the sky, but they were sparkling and glowing more brilliantly than any other snowflakes Kagome had ever seen before. "What? What's that?"
"It's snow, Shippo. It comes down from the sky when it gets cold. Basically it's frozen rain." explained Kagome, and she opened her mouth to catch some snowflakes on her tongue.
"What the heck are you doing?" Inuyasha asked, eyeing the snowflakes with great disgust. Kagome explained that she was catching snowflakes, where you open your mouth and let snowflakes fall on your tongue. "Sounds dumb to me." Inuyasha replied, and went underneath a tree to sit. Then a strange thing happened.
Kagome felt a tingling sensation inside her. It seemed as if the whole world was becoming invisible. She felt light and airy, and it almost seemed like she was floating on the moon. "Inuyasha, you have to come and try this!" Inuyasha just continued sitting. Kagome walked over to him and said again, "Come on Inuyasha!" But he didn't budge. Kagome became annoyed, because she thought he was mocking her. "Sit boy!" she said, and Inuyasha fell face first into the snow.
"Damn it, where's Kagome? Why'd she do that?" Maybe she's just angry at me for fighting with her, Inuyasha thought.
"INUYASHA, can't you SEE me?" Kagome said, pacing back and forth. Then it occured to her. Maybe she wasn't feeling light and airy at all. Maybe she was ... invisible. But how? Kagome ran over to Shippo. "You can see me, right? It's just Inuyasha." Shippo looked around. He couldn't even hear Kagome!
"Shippo, you see Kagome anywhere?" Inuyasha asked Shippo, irritated by her sudden absence.
"Nope. Hey, remember the last time she went missing? Someone kidnapped her." Shippo made a worried face.
"She's not kidnapped, she told me to sit boy a couple seconds ago." Inuyasha wandered around the now snow covered ground, and looked up into the sky. "Oh well, probably went to get lunch or something."
But that wasn't so.
Kagome: Inuyasha, why didn't you suspect anything?
Inuyasha: What, was I supposed to? You can't make me do everything, wench.
Kagome: Sit boy!
Inuyasha: Ow!
