Ok before I start this chapter I'll get a few things straight,
1) Kikyo may not be totally evil, just misunderstood,
2) I don't hate Sesshomaru, if fact he's my favorite character.
3) SPOILER- Rin was mute but when she started traveling with Sesshomaru,
she got her voice back (doesn't really say how she just has it the next
time you see her).
4) I'm sorry if you think chapters 2 and 3 contain the same information,
I'll try to mix it up some more.
Now, on with the story......
Chapter 6- During the Break
A shadow stood at the border of the forest, it watched the monk as he slowly collected the discarded eating materials. "So Inuyasha, where have you gone off to?" she whispered to the wind.
Sinking farther into the shadows, the figure disappeared within the forest without making a sound. Slipping along undetected the mysterious woman followed the girl, positive that she would inevitably lead her to the desired victim. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Sango quickly scanned the forest floor before her searching for the tell- tale signs of Inuyasha, a blur of red streaked with white. Kirara growled her comfort up at her master, she could tell something was bothering Sango and the cat was doing her best to cheer her up.
Outfitted in her fighting clothes, the youkai exterminator had a set look on her face, signaling to anyone who saw her that she meant business. Her eyes contained a hard glint to them, the girl was intent on her task.
Inuyasha spotted Sango before Sango did him. "What trouble did you get yourself into now?" he asked, his voice laced with scorn. Couldn't they do anything without getting into some kind of mess.
Launching herself from Kirara's back, Sango aimed for Inuyasha, landing on him as she hit. Inuyasha, still stunned from the unexpected attack, didn't comprehend what she was doing until the blade she'd yanked from her belt was at his throat.
"We're going back to the village," she told him. "Something is wrong with Miroku and Kaede will know how to fix it."
"Feh," he responded ignoring the fact that he was in no position to argue, "Why should we do that, he seems fine to me."
"Well he's not!" she practically screamed, tightening the blade against him throat. Sango didn't care that he was a friend and companion, she had more pressing matters than that fact on her mind.
"What, you actually miss the perverted side of him that gropes you every five seconds?" he spat back in her face.
"As a matter-of-fact I do, at least he shows me he cares for me when he does it. This new Miroku is as cold and distant as your brother."
A glaring contest soon started up after that, an unyielding human continued until Inuyasha submitted. His ears lowered in defeat and he glanced away from Sango's face, "Feh, fine with me. It's not like we can search for shards without Kagome anyway."
Giving him a look that signified that she would hold him to his word, she got off of him.
"'Bout time you two finished," a cheerful fox youkai declared, "I though I was going to have to separate you." He leaped in from the sidelines, Kirara following him. Grinning in his evil 'I'm better than Inuyasha' way he added, "You looked so pathetic Inuyasha, pinned to the ground by Sango." The little fox broke into fist of laughter.
"Why you little-," Inuyasha said, beginning to chase the kit, "I'm going to hit you so hard you wouldn't remember which way is up!" threatened the hanyou.
"Like you could even catch me you stupid half-wit." Shippo yelled over his shoulder at the raging Inuyasha.
Sango watched their exchange of words, during their yelling Kirara had jumped into her awaiting arms. The combination of the two's immature behavior and her faithful pet's purring her content, Sango's mood lightened considerably.
After Shippo had received several large bumps on his head from Inuyasha's fist and the fox had stated he would tell Kagome on him, the small group started back to collect Miroku. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Humming to himself, Miroku leaned over the river gently rubbing the soaked rag over the wooden bowl. Submerging the dish into the water swiftly running past, he pulled it out of the clear liquid and set it off to dry.
After Sango had disappeared so suddenly, Miroku had gathered the discarded utensils in order to clean them. Picking up the partially wet dishes, he made his way back to their temporary camp.
At his arrival he found the place picked up and ready to go, glancing around in surprise, he spotted Inuyasha, Sango, and Shippo waiting for him.
Sango avoided Miroku's eyes and bent over to retrieve Shippo.
"It's about time you got back, I thought you had gotten lost," Inuyasha said mocking the monk.
"I am sorry Inuyasha," Miroku said, "But why are you all in such a hurry?" Setting down the dishes, he began to place them back in Kagome's pack that she had forgotten behind.
"We're not in a hurry," Inuyasha started, after receiving a death glare from Sango. She didn't want the monk to know why they were heading back. "We just need to go back to the village to, ah, wait for Kagome."
Standing quickly, Miroku said, "But I thought she wasn't suppose to come back until we've defeated Rin."
"Ah, ya, well. . ."
"We're going back for supplies," Sango cut in hurriedly, she could tell Inuyasha was about to tell Miroku the real reason for their going back. Returning to walking back to Kirara, she set down Shippo, who had been surprisingly quiet. "Let's go!"
Curtly nodding his head the hanyou took off running, lightly jumping from branch to branch. Miroku sighed and ran after Inuyahsa, falling short compared to his friends fast speed.
Sango picked up Kagome's pack before climbing on a transformed Kirara, "Could you hold this Shippo?" she asked the fox child.
Nodding energetically he latched onto the bag and securely placed himself in front of Sango. Kirara took off as soon as her passengers were settled, jumping skyward, the cate began chasing after Inuyasha and Miroku. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Not far off a lone priestess walked through the woods. Her only companions were her baby blue soul stealers. The dragon youkais slowly flew around her, scattered about the near-by forest. The emotion-less mask she wore revealed nothing, her eyes were a deep blue and contained none of the happiness that she had experienced in life.
Listening for a second, the corner of her lip turned up in a merciless smile. She was close. Continuing at the same pace she knew she would soon reach her target, "only a little more time my love, then we can to Hell together." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome woke up the next morning by a gentle knocking at her door. "Are you going to school today?"
Rubbing the grit out of her eyes she answered, "Yes, Mama."
"Then hurry up, you only have a half hour."
Sighing she climbed out of her bed and headed towards the bathroom, intent on taking a shower. Throughout her morning routine of getting ready, her mind was else ware, keeping company with a certain hanyou 500 years in the past.
Walking to school, she was greeted by her friends, who started off asking about her health. She sighed as she heard the ridiculous illnesses her grandfather came up with. Because she had left her pack in the Fudile era, she had to go without many of her textbooks along with her notes. She glanced at the clock, knowing it was going to be a long day. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Gazing into the enchanted pool, green-blue eyes watched the female before her.
"I trust everything is in order," she spoke to a seemingly empty chamber.
"Yes Milady," came a sniveling voice, "Everything has be laid out according to plan."
"Very well," she said prying her eyes off of the young woman before her. Her vervan, who she had been talking to, turned to leave.
"And Jaken," she said using his real name.
The green toad-like youkai looked at her with fearful questioning eyes, "Yes, Milady."
"If anything goes wrong, you will pay with your life," Ana-karu said calmly. He life meant nothing to her, the only reason he was doing this was because she would pay him handsomely, if everything turned out right.
Trembling he answered, "Milady, everything has been set in motion, there is no way that the plan will not work."
"Good," she said returning her eyes to Rin. "You may go now Jaken, go and complete your task."
Bowing, the toad turned, two-headed staff in hand, and left to return to Sesshomaru.
Listening until she was sure he was gone, she intently watched the young woman keeling close to the dirt, studying the tracks. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Oh, Jaken works for Ana-karu, never saw that coming. Well, maybe I did because I wrote it but still. . .
Ok that's it for another chapter, I'm sorry it's so short but I'm going on vacation soon and wanted to get at least one more chapter out to you people. Hope you like it and please remember to R&R.
