Chapter 2: Fighting Amongst Friends
Kaede is sitting near the open campfire as the sun begins to set, wrapping InuYasha's wounds from his fight with the sky demons that held two shards of the sacred Shikon Jewel. Kagome kneels by the fire waiting for the chicken and rice to finish cooking so that she can eat.
"You're completely useless, ya know that?" InuYasha yelled at Kagome as Kaede wrapped his bleeding right forearm.
"Useless, huh? Is that so, InuYasha?" Kagome replied as she poked his already bandaged shoulder causing his face to cringe in pain.
"Ah! Stop that you wench! How do you like this?" he cries then rapidly pokes the bruise on her left leg.
"Ow! That hurts! Stop that, you hear? Fine then sit!" she wails her warning then turns to her last resort, which causes him to slam face first onto the floor.
"Bitch, I was just making a point!" InuYasha scolded as he pulled his head up from the dirt floor.
"I warned you." she murmured as she gave him a cold stare.
"You started it though!" he snapped back with an evil look on his face that looked to kill.
"Aye, must ye fight so? If ye move too much, I won't be able to assemble a fit enough bandage for ye," Kaede scolded as she continued to wrap his arm even when he had been an 'obedient' dog and sat.
"Sorry, Kaede." she apologized as she poured a bowl of the chicken and rice from the pot that had been hanging over the campfire.
"I wouldn't be injured if I hadn't given her my kimono that she's still wearing! Not to mention she's the one who injured my right arm with those 'skills' of hers!" InuYasha defended as he gave another yet cruder stare.
"It's called an accident!" she shouted as a vein on her forehead grew more visible. She pulled his kimono off and threw it to the ground before him.
"If you'd learn how to shoot with that thing then I'd have two things right now: an uninjured arm and something useful!" he replied pointing at the bow and sheath of arrows that were laying a couple of feet from Kagome.
"Aye, maybe ye two should drop thee subject for now," Kaede sighed as she finished the bandage by securing it tightly so it wouldn't move for the time being. "Where are Miroku and Sango?" Shippo questioned out of nowhere as he paused his enjoyment of the pink and white lollipop in his left hand.
"Fighting of course. Can't you here them out there bickering?" Kagome sighed then placed a clump of rice and chicken into her mouth with her chopsticks.
"Actually Sango is the one bickering. Miroku is just being a man and putting up with the shit she's yelling at him about," InuYasha mumbled loud enough for Kagome and Shippo to hear as he pulled his right arm through his kimono's sleeve.
"They sure fight a lot." Shippo sighed then returned to licking his lollipop once again.
"Too much if you ask me," Kagome sighed.
"Yeah, if they would've helped me out instead of fighting the whole time while I was retrieving those jewels shards from that demon. Then I wouldn't have been forced to depend on that stupid girl for help and I might not have gotten this," he snarled as he held his arm revealing the bandage.
"Don't forget you're your shoulder!" Shippo informed with a grin on his face being clueless like always.
"Yeah that too. I almost forgot that the demon had hit me before Kagome did! Thank you for attempting to take my mind off my bleeding shoulder earlier, Kagome!" he replied sarcastically as he gave Kagome his phony gratitude.
"Humph! Whatever." Kagome moaned as she realized that her bowl was empty.
"Miroku!" Sango yelled at the heeling monk following her every step.
"Sango, what's wrong? Why are you so mad?" Miroku asked with a puzzled look.
"You asked that girl in the village to bare his child!" she snapped sharply.
"You said that you wouldn't so I merely went to another." he defended. "I need a son to take my place if I am killed, Sango."
"I don't care!" she scolded.
"Calm down, Sango! 'Tis late already so rest and ye will be fresh in the morning to start your argument up again," Kaede stated as she removed the blanket from her sack and laid down using a log as a pillow.
"Start again?" Miroku groaned, "Why must I always be the one to be picked at and you, Sango, you are the worst of all because it is you that is picking at my heart."
"Save it for tomorrow!" Sango scolded as she began to pull out her things so she could go to sleep.
"Get used to it, Miroku!" InuYasha laughed as he walked by him, heading in the direction of the freshwater stream right outside of the village.
"InuYasha, wait up!" Kagome shouted as she ran after him.
"What do you want?" he interrogated once he stopped about ten yards away from the campsite.
"InuYasha, I'm sorry that I'm so 'useless' to you, but I'm trying my best here!" she stated.
"Is that why you stopped me?" he growled then rolled his eyes and started to walk off again.
"Can we talk?" she asked hastily as she ran to catch him after he was few yards away.
"What for and what about?" he scolded irritably as she stepped in his path.
"I just wanted to tell you something," she replied meekly.
"Tell me something?" he questioned with a worried look on his face.
"I just thought I'd let you know that next week I have a dance to go to, that's all," she said with a curious expression covering her face as she attempted to read his face.
"What? That's what you wanted to tell me? Here I thought you were going to tell me something important!" he laughed as he stepped off his path, went around Kagome, and then continued on his way.
She turned towards InuYasha who was walking away from her putting. She hade her left hand on her hip and her right pointing at the ground as she ordered, "Errr, sit boy!" She turned around and headed back for camp, leaving InuYasha in his hole.
"Ow! Why that little wench," he murmured as he peeled his face from the grassy ground then spat out the pieces of grass out of his mouth.
