*I usually set up two chapters at a time, but that's only because I had
eight chapters finished when I started this site. Things may be a little
slower in the future, so bear with me, I'm a sophomore in a good school
that gives a lot of homework.Grrr..*
Disclaimer: If I did own Inuyasha and co. it would be the coolest thing. I could simply call Inuyasha to kick butt when ever I meet someone who won't leave me alone. *sigh*.
Chapter 9
The day was warm and exciting when she opened her eyes. Fresh dew dripping from the tips of the blades of grass, trees swaying in the morning breeze, clouds drifting across the baby blue sky.
What a day!
But where was Inuyasha?
She found him in a matter of moments.
Silver hair, pointy dog like ears, red hoari with the tetsaiga propped up on his side, golden eyes closed in what looked like drifted sleep.
He must have stayed up all night to watch the camp!
How sweet and protective he had become, Inuyasha. Even over the circumstances of his continuous love for Kikyo that broke his heart, his blood lusty elder brother, and their constant hunt for the shikon shards and Naraku, so that several incidents could be avenged.
Poor Inuyasha.
Sango was still asleep, Kirara's little head rising at the sound of Kagome's movement, and then settling back to slumber. Miroku, staff still leaning on his shoulder, head bowed as if in prayer, and little Shippo snuggled deeply within her sleeping bag, little breaths escaping his little mouth. She was the only one awake this fine morning.
So what was there to do?
Still Algebra to finish.
But who wanted to do that?
Why not take a quick walk to the spring nearby to wash up a little and gather some water for the travel they would all take that day.
She stood, brushing off the tiny leaves and particles of dirt that had collected to her green navy skirt, and walked on, putting on her loafers and loving the sound of the grass crushing beneath her feet. It wasn't long before she had made it to the spring, and there, she washed her body, making sure to keep her bow, arrows, and a few rocks in case Miroku or Inuyasha decided to take a peek.
The water was cold, and caused her flesh to break out in goose bumps the minute she submerged, but once she stuck her head back out of the rippling surface, she got used to it.
No one bothered her during the entire bath.a miracle really, and she climbed out and changed into her black skirt with the light blue top. She was brushing her hair as she made her way back to the camp, but she didn't make it there as quickly as she thought she would.
She was starting to get feelings, like there was something in the area.a demon.
But where.where was it?
She turned around searching for whatever presence made her shiver as it approached, ready to fire off her sacred arrow at any demon that decided to try to kill her for a shikon shard. What she saw, she could not understand.
There was a figure, dressed all in black, with a heavy hood covering its eyes and a beautiful silver katana on it's back. Its pants were loose and baggy and the face covered with a small piece of black fabric. All that could be seen were its eyes. It's brown, dazzling eyes. Its feet were covered in wicker sandals, and although it didn't look too out of the ordinary, a red dragon was sitting peacefully around its neck, set.watching, golden eyes dancing in the rays of the sun. The ninja like figure was crouching, and in the blink of an eye, it was gone.dragon and all.
Kagome figured it was a delusion of some sort, being that it was only there for a moment, before heading back to the camp to an already awake hentai monk.
"Where did you go Lady Kagome?" he asked, as he began to stoke the new fire he had just made with another stick, his staff still leaning on that same shoulder. He looked well rested.
"I went to bathe." Kagome responded.
"Darn." She heard him mutter. She already knew what he meant. He'd missed another opportunity to see something he wished he had.
"Too bad for you." She teased, welcoming Shippo as he woke up and crawled to the fire, scavenging for a sandwich in which Kagome already had out for him. He grabbed it hungrily. Soon Sango and Kirara were awake as well, and every one debated on who would wake Inuyasha up for the day ahead.
"I say Kagome should do it." Miroku threw out.
"Why me?" Kagome shuddered. She already knew the answer.
"You're the only one that is guaranteed to live when you wake Inuyasha up. He wouldn't dare hurt you at all." Sango responded as she pet Kirara on the back. "Besides, you're the only one who can use sit in case he can't be awoken."
"But.but." Kagome tried, but they were all watching her with an we're-not- changing-our-minds look.
"Fine.I'll wake him up." She stood up, and feeling everyone's eyes on her, strode towards the tree Inuyasha was sleeping in.
"Hey.Wake up Inuyasha!" She shouted.
He didn't move.
"Inuyasha. Wake up.it's time to go!"
Still no response.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome shouted one last time, as Kirara jumped on her shoulder and rubbed affectionately against her cheek. "He won't wake up." This wasn't like Inuyasha. He was usually up and ready to go before anyone else.But there had been that argument on where to stay that night.because it was the new moon.
"He was up all night." Shippo shouted as he ran up to her with his chocolate smudged face. He had found her candy tray.
"Shippo, how many times have I told you not to just grab the candy in my bag when you see it. You'll make yourself sick to your stomach." Kagome grabbed a handkerchief from her bag and cleaned Shippo's face as he told her his reasoning.
"Inuyasha was up all night. I saw it. Before I went to sleep he was staring at the sky, and when I woke up a few hours ago to go to the restroom, he was still awake, looking around for something from the tree. I don't think we're going to wake him up any time soon."
Both he and Kagome watched the sleeping hanyou, Kagome sticking the dirty handkerchief back in her bag.
"Well, we have to find some way of transporting him." Miroku replied as he came up to Kagome's side, his golden staff vibrating with every ding of the circular rings at it's emblem.
"Kirara can do it!" Sango replied, placing her boomerang on her back, ready to travel another day. "Right Kirara?" She asked.
The little fire cat mewed before leaping gracefully to her shoulder and rubbing her face the same way she had with Kagome.
"Alright Kirara, take your full form." Shippo said bouncing on the cats back. Instantly Kirara had grown to that of the size of a horse.
"Now, how do we get him down?" Kagome asked the question more to herself than to everyone else.
"That is a good question. We don't want to disturb him and accidentally get him to kill one of us." Miroku said.
"Then how?" Sango asked.
"I know!" Shippo bounced with glee. He instantly took his large pink orb- like form and floated up to Inuyasha, easily shoving him off his branch and bringing him down delicately on Kirara's back.
Inuyasha hadn't stirred a bit.
Shippo retook his original form and hopped onto the ground, stretching happily.
"I'll get my bike." Kagome replied, as she walked towards the fire.
They would have gotten breakfast, but there was something that just felt so urgent in the air, like they couldn't stay there any longer or something bad would happen.
Bad karma so to speak.
Shippo jumped into the basket on the steering wheel of the bicycle just as Kagome positioned herself on it for take off.
Sango made sure Inuyasha wouldn't fall off of Kirara's back, and soon.they were off on their journey again. Kagome couldn't help but constantly look back to see if Inuyasha had stirred yet.
It wasn't like him, falling asleep and then not being awake when they awoke. Inuyasha had been up all night, all for his worries of theirs and his safety.
He had worried himself half to death simply because he was used to getting attacked by a demon that sent him into a near to death situation on the new moon.
And she had forced him to stay at that spot, and then had gone to sleep on him. She felt incredibly guilty that the reason for his staying up like that was her fault.
She couldn't help but feel it in the air.
*What do you think? I guarantee chapter ten will be good. I'm just not sure how long it will be yet. I've only got about a page or so written. I'll try to load it up soon though! Since I have three days out of school, I promise I'll work on it!*
