She tsked lightly, seeing Inuyasha still on the ground even after he'd been untied. Was that what she'd taught him: to play in the dirt like a filthy mongrel? She sighed. And where had he learned to deliver such foul language to a lovely young lady like that? Hadn't she taught him better? Hasn't she taught him a single thing about grace or elegance?! At least Sesshoumaru had learned something… and the boy simply detested her!
She sighed with relief as the one known as Kagome huffed and pulled Inuyasha to his feet, when he was unwilling to get up himself, and dusted away the dirt from his clothes – though a little rougher than necessary, she noted. So motherly, she is… the woman, who was hiding in the trees and watching with her lavender eyes, thought enthusiastically. She shook her head helplessly – casting her ebony tresses in all directions – when Inuyasha scowled at the girl's actions, hissing a – what she guessed as – swear word.
The young female below rolled her eyes – the woman's thoughts exactly – and scolded the hanyou-human with a poke in the chest. The boy responded to the light shove by stumbling backwards dramatically and both women rolled their eyes.
A wistful sigh escaped the concealed woman and she fled the scene without fear of being caught for she held no scent or presence – or heartbeat, for that matter. Ah, a lovers' quarrel was so adorable, intriguing.
Kagome gave up on the one-sided conversation, realizing that she wasn't going to get a single response. He'd simply ignored her and was staring over her shoulder at the trees that surrounded the clearing where they stood. It was as if he knew something was there that she could not sense. "Inuyasha?"
He didn't make any immediate response – which pissed off an already very irritated Kagome – but eventually came up with a "Huh?"
"What is it?" she asked softly, peering through the trees that the human-hanyou's gaze had fallen upon… and stuck to.
Inuyasha finally shook his head and cleared his thoughts. Seeing Kagome looking away from him, he cast her an odd stare. "What is what, Kagome?"
"That… that thing you were looking at: what was it?"
Blink. He'd been staring…?? "…I wasn't staring at anything…"
Kagome huffed with annoy. "Oh, never mind! If you don't want to tell me, then fine, but you don't have to lie about it, Inuyasha!" she complained, stalking away.
But… Inuyasha seriously didn't know that he'd even looked away from her face. Giving in with a resigned sigh, he lazily tottered after the angry female. "Kagome!" he whined.
She ignored him, concluding that even the human Inuyasha could be a pain in the ass.
Inuyasha, Inuyasha, Inuyasha, human Inuyasha… Giggles slipped from him lips at the mere thought. Shippou just couldn't handle the fact that Inuyasha was human again… And weak! It was just a simply hilarious situation, he had there. It was just so comical!! Though, he did feel rather dejected, considering Kagome'd just up and left to run after that jerk!
How rude!
His sniggered faded when two people entered the door. The two included a flustered, ticked off teen-age girl and a hassled, whiny hanyou-human. "Kagome!" Shippou launched himself into the arms of the young, irate female. Her expression softened the second her chocolate eyes settled on the kitsune she'd accepted with open arms.
"Hey Shippou," she greeted placidly, hugging the kit to her chest. "You're just what I needed to fix my mood…"
By the word needed, Inuyasha had already stalked out the door, huffing with annoyance.
Kagome hadn't realized his departure, and moved to make herself comfortable on the bedroll. Shippou lay, curled contently, in her lap as she smoothed his tail affectionately. She sighed noiselessly and looked around, finding no Inuyasha – human or hanyou. She sighed a second time. Maybe she'd plucked a nerve, somehow…
Shooing the kit from her lap again, she stood and left quickly.
"Inuyasha!" The soft call hung in the air as the female waited for a reply. She tapped her foot impatiently and planted her hands on her hips in irritation. She rolled her eyes silently when nothing came, only quiet. Looks like I have to go up there, she decided, glaring up the tree to where she supposed Inuyasha was secluded in branches. What was it with him and the trees, anyway? She hitched her chaste kimono to her knees and readied to climb the tree.
Very unladylike, a sigh escaped, the things I do for my loved ones… Suddenly lavender eyes blinked and she remember. She stood straight and let the kimono in her hands fall limp at her ankles again, back in place. She vanished.
Inuyasha's eyes widened and he nearly slipped from his branch as something, practically transparent, took the form of a young woman in front of him. A familiar female… His violet eyes blinked hard as he pulled himself upright, on guard "Uhh…" though he was at loss for words. He inched away by centimeters as the girl sat on the branch before him. "Umm…"
The woman in front of the human-hanyou pressed a finger to her lips, signaling silence that he complied to rather willingly. "Inuyasha," the female murmured.
