A/N- Yea!!! New update!! ^^ Enjoy!
Inuyasha POV...
I awoke to the gray skies, and I knew today wasn't going to be a good and cheerful day. So far we hadn't gotten a single shard and to add on top of that we had a new companion, that pesky little kistune.
This was all *her* fault. If I hadn't met her then I wouldn't have to be followed by several stupid people. If I hadn't met her then the whole damn hunt for shards wouldn't have started. If I hadn't met her then - then I would still be killing village after village, still be on the run, and be feared by everyone.
Well, not that I wasn't feared by everyone. And I was still on the run for that matter, but.. I couldn't help it; I had to say that she actually brought joy into my life. It was like seeing her face was knowing that the sun would rise in the morning. And looking into her beautiful eyes reminded me of the ocean, the calm peaceful, beautiful ocean.
I looked down, tears blurring my vision. This sounded so familiar; this was what I had thought of that girl. I had thought she didn't care if I was hanyou or not, I had thought that she liked me.
How very wrong I was. She was the person standing right there when mother had been killed. And she didn't shed a tear. She helped them beat me.
Something in my heart screamed at me to throw my doors open for this girl, but my brain argued with it. It argued with common sense, but my heart kept telling me what I did not believe in. It told me that this girl was different. It told me she didn't care if I was hanyou or not. It told me lies. Then I remembered mother's voice. "Always believe in your heart, my dear boy, because it will always be right."
I tried to swallow the lump that caught in my throat. What was I thinking? I knew this girl was just like any other! I thought, trying to shove mother's words out of my head.
No, I was not capable of liking anyone, and no one was capable of liking me...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Normal POV...
After everyone had woken up and ate their breakfast of berries and roots, they kept on walking up the path, in search for the Jewel Shards.
Kagome sensed one of them getting closer and closer...
"Inuyahsa! There's a jewel shard nearby!"
Nodding his head, he went ahead to look for anything suspicious.
After a while they saw him running back.
"There's nothing suspicious! The closest thing I managed to find was a perverted monk flirting with some girls at a restaurant nearby," he muttered. "You sure you felt the Jewel Shards presence?"
"Of course!" replied Kagome. "Hmmmm, maybe if we keep on going we'll get closer to the shard and it will be close enough so I can see it."
"Good idea," both Kouga and Inuyasha said at the same time.
Glaring at each other, they continued to walk in silence.
Soon they came to a restaurant, with a monk, with a Jewel shard in his arm...
Kagome's POV...
I saw the monk that Inuyasha was talking about. I saw the Shikon shard glimmering in his arm.
"Inuyasha," I whispered. "He has a Jewel shard. The monk I mean."
I saw his ears flick at the sound of my voice. Speaking of ears... I reached up and touched one of them.
They twitched. I giggled softly and reached up to pet those adorable little ears again. They were so soft and furry! I looked down to see his annoyed face.
"We were here to find the shards, not to play with my ears!" He hissed.
"Oh right... sorry. I, just, they were so adorable! Never mind, sorry." I sighed. What a touchy person! But I knew it was because of something that happened in his life. But right now all the attention had to be focused on the Jewel shards.
Inuyasha POV...
I looked as she pulled her hands away from my ears, her face turning a little sad.
Actually I had thought that it felt kinda good to be... petted. I like her gentle touch. It was really soothing somehow. I know I shouldn't have hissed at her like that, but I was just scared to have someone get that close to me again. I didn't want to feel this way toward her.
Sighing, I shook my head and turned my attention back on the shard.
I watched as the monk started groping at all the girls around him, making them giggle. I made a face and turned to Kagome. She obviously was disgusted too.
I watched as he smiled and waved a farewell, making some of the girls burst out crying. What a weird situation.
He continued to walk up the path.
We followed easily.
"Kagome, do I get the shard now?" I asked.
"Go ahead." I heard the reply.
I ran out and attacked the guy, but this was no ordinary man. He had the power of the shard. I had heard rumor that one shard could bring disaster to the world! Leaping up I tackled him, expecting him to fight. Instead he just lay there looking dumbfounded.
"What have I done wrong? I have not seen you before," he said, eyeing me with curiosity.
"You have a shard!" I snarled, getting ready to punch the guy out.
Before I could, Kagome ran out, and stopped me.
"Inuyasha! Let the poor guy explain himself!" she said, a little annoyed.
She helped the guy up while he dusted himself off.
"Thank you, miss. Wait... it is a 'miss' right?" He asked slyly.
"Uhhh... yea..." Was Kagome's stuttered reply.
Miroku POV...
I smiled. She was obviously flattered. Hopefully. Hopefully this one would bear my children.
I clasped her hands in mine and said my famous words, "Will you bear my child?"
SMACK!!
Yea, I usually got that.
The next minute I saw a wolf demon right in my face, and angry vein popping out.
"She's only eleven for god sake! And get the hell away from my woman!" He snarled at me.
"Whatdya mean she's *your* woman??!?!" I heard the dog demon shout.
Okkkkkkkk, this had never happened.
I looked over to the girl, and noticed she was totally flustered.
Who were these people anyway?
I bent down to retrieve my fallen staff. Well, better run when I can!
Just as I had turned my back, I felt a hand grab my shirt.
"Where do you think your going?! I still have some questions to ask!" I heard the dog demon shout.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
I watched as the hanyou stared at me, practically breathing down my neck.
"Soooooooooooooooo, why do you have the Shikon shard?" He asked for the 5th time.
I saw the girl push him aside. "You're not getting anywhere!" I heard her mutter.
"You try!" the half-demon snapped back.
"That's what I was going to do!"
Now we were getting somewhere!
"So, where did you get this shard? And how you'd get it so fast? I mean it just shattered a few days ago!"
I reached and groped her before answering. Her face immediately scrunched up and she slapped me.
"HENTAI!!!"
I chuckled.
Wolf boy was being restrained by dog boy. It was all so funny.
"Now, the answer to your question. I found this on the ground, and decided to use it. I have heard about the power of the Shikon shard, so I thought that it would bring me some kind of healing power to cure this wound that has been told that it could not be cured. And almost everyone in the world should know about the shattering of the Jewel by now. The villagers in the village that the priestess was in spread word. Countless demons are seeking it right as I speak."
"What is the wound?" Kagome asked.
I stiffened. Would I have to show her? This was a terrible thing. When people saw it, the usually screamed and ran away from me.
I guess I would. I lifted my sleeve to reveal my hand that was wrapped in cloth and prayer beads.
"Underneath this piece of cloth is a curse, placed by a man named Naraku."
I saw everyone react to the name. Had I sad something wrong?
I continued, "He placed a curse on my family. The curse was to have a wind tunnel on my hand. The wind tunnel would only be concealed by prayer beads. It would suck everything that was in its path into the wind tunnel. One day it would devour me into the tunnel and I will not exist anymore."
This was the part where people usually screamed and ran away.
But I watched in amazement as she just tilted her head to one side, and said, "Damn that bastard Naraku! He just causes trouble for everybody! One day we will get him! That sneaky bastard!"
Everyone had that expression on their face that reflected what the girl had said. Even the little kistune had the same expression on his face.
What happened to all these people?
Did each have a story to tell?
________________________________________________________________________
I learned that might what Naraku had done to each of these people. I learned about everyone except Inuyasha. Well, he didn't exactly have a grudge against Naraku, for he has not even seen his face. But he seemed not to trust me. Same with Kouga.
I sighed. What a day! In these few hours, I had managed to find someone that understood me and was not afraid of my wind tunnel. I had managed to fit in with this odd group of people. Very strange.
They had asked me to join in the search of the Shikon shards, and so far, my answer was leaning toward yes. But what would this mean? Would I be a nuisance to them with my perverted ways? Well, not like I can help it...
Maybe I would be left out. Maybe I would be betrayed later on. Who knows if they just want to use me? My wind tunnel could prove useful at times of severe danger.
I sighed and shook my head.
Could these people be trusted? They seemed to care, but many people could act very well.
I sighed again and continued to mull over my thoughts.
That's when the girl came to me.
"You don't have to join if you don't want to," she said softly. She sat down beside me and gazed up at the stars.
"I can understand if you feel we are not to be trusted. It's hard to trust someone when you've always been feared. Sorry to bother you with the offer." Saying this she got up and dusted herself.
But my mind was already made up.
"Kagome wait! I will join!"
I saw her surprised expression as she turned around to stare at me with wide innocent eyes. The her face broke into the most beautiful smile anyone has ever seen. She ran up to me, eyes shining with delight.
"Wait 'till I tell the others!" she said with excitement. Turning she ran toward the camp.
I sighed. So, my decision was made. I was joining the hunt for Jewel Shards...
A/N- sooooooooo this chappie any good??
