Chapter Five: Deserts and Desserts – Part One
Disclaimer: I, unfortunately and to my friend's great dislike, do not own Inuyasha. In my own little world, Sesshomaru belongs to me. But not in the lawyers world so no suing!
A/N: I'm sorry that I'm such a slow updater. I have so many things going on that it's hard...
Friend: yeah... like listening to usher?
Me: hehe *sweat drop* I need to update more don't I?
Friend: you would suspect so...
Me: *plays yeah by usher*
Friend: *starts to dance*
Me: it's a great song... if I ever do a Miroku song fic I'll be sure to use it ^_^
Friend: On with the story! *continues to dance*
Me: I wish I could dance T_T
~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Sango's P.O.V.
Kagome woke with a low groan. She felt the spot on her head that had hit the ground. With a wince of pain she sat herself up. "What happened?" she groaned.
Sango, who was sitting nearby, smiled at her younger friend. "That's what everyone else would like to know," Sango's eyes closed as she remembered. "Where did you go? And why did you come back with such... power?"
Kagome's eyes strayed off. "I don't remember," she said dejectedly.
Sango shivered. ~I hope this isn't another one of Naraku's traps. ~
Just then Inuyasha and a wailing Shippou came bursting in.
"Stupid Kitsune! I told you to watch her!"
"Shut up! You shouldn't be trusting me if I'm such a "baby"," Shippou stuck out his little tongue. Not a smart move, because Inuyasha was staring to get angrier. He raised his hand in a fist over Shippou's head. Just as he was about to land his infuriated punch, Kagome stepped in.
"SIT!!"
Inuyasha sat with a thud. Underneath him a squirming Shippou was flattened. All Kagome could do was shake her head.
Sango lifted Kagome unto her feet and supported her as they walked out of the hut. Sango looked back and couldn't help but giggle quietly at Shippou's predicament. ~He's getting more and more like Inuyasha everyday. ~ She smiled as she saw her dragon friend approaching. ~The world isn't ready for three Inuyasha's. ~ She laughed again as she imagined Tao's face, if she were ever to hear that thought.
"Sango, my dearest, what has brought you such joy?" Miroku walked up to the little group with a perverted smile.
Sango rolled her eyes to show how pathetic she thought him. Rae-orri giggled as she and Coral stepped forward. "You ok Kags?"
Kagome nodded and couldn't help but laugh as two demons walked out of the hut fighting.
"Stop wasting your time Shippou. That baka's not going to listen to you." Her ever-surrounding wind tousled Tao's hair. She had an uncaring smirk as she spoke.
Inuyasha just growled in response and muttered something along the lines of 'We're leaving'.
The group sighed and took their positions: Miroku and Sango on Kirara's back; Kagome on Inuyasha's; and Shippou on Kirara's head. Rae-orri and Coral stood back uncomfortably.
"I want to ride the doggie," Coral squeaked as she pointed at Inuyasha's ears. She blinked twice in order to bring false tears to her eyes. "Pweasssssse?"
Inuyasha's eyes widened, he was obviously unsure of what to do.
Sango came to his rescue, "Doggie's can be mean and they get fleas, Coral. Wouldn't you rather ride the big kitty?" She smiled warmly, as the young demon pondered the thought.
The water demon looked up at Shippou and smiled shyly, "Can I ride the kitty with you? I promise not to annoy you."
Shippou smiled and nodded cheerfully, "You don't annoy me Coral." He jumped down, swooped Coral up bridal style, the way he had seen Inuyasha hold Kagome a million times before, and sat her down on Kirara's head next to him .(A/N: a run on sentence like no other!)
Everyone laughed happily (except Inu who was in a pissy mood.). Tao stretched her wings and soared above the group. The females of the group gasped in awe. Even Inuyasha smiled in approval. Sango couldn't help but feel "at home."
~What does Kagome call it? A Kodak moment? ~
Little did she know that their happy moment was about to be destroyed.
~*~*~*~*~ Inuyasha's P.O.V.
The trip was going quite well, except for the odd 'sit and 'down'. That's when Kagome sensed it. "A jewel shard," She muttered, "in the next town."
Inuyasha blinked in surprise. ~She has never been able to sense them from that far off before. ~ But, all he did was pick up the pace and give the others a nod.
The group raced towards the village. Tao, with the use of her wings, was the first to get there. "No..." she stared at the scene before her before her. Inuyasha and Kagome came up next to her. Their minds went blank in unison. The rest followed suit, gaping.
"The sand demon did this," Coral said. Shippou patted her, as if to comfort her fear.
Rae-orri sighed and bit back tears before turning to Inuyasha, "Now do you understand why I said I needed your aid? This is only the beginning!" She cried as she looked down at what was once a village. It was now nothing more than a desert in the middle of an evergreen forest. Roof tops peaked out beneath the miles upon miles of sand. The random limb stuck out like a flag of warning. And, still her tears poured.
Rae-orri would have ran from there forever, if not for Inuyasha. His muscular arms pulled her into a warm bear hug. Her tears wet his haori, which only a day ago she had tried to steal, causing it to stick to his chest.
"Its ok Rae-orri, we're here for you. I swear, I'll make sure we all get through this alive," Inuyasha whispered into her hair. The group nodded in agreement. Rae-orri pulled herself up and away from Inuyasha's embrace. He raised his hand and gently wiped her tear away.
Kagome and Sango hugged her at the same time. Sango, whispering soothingly about how she knows what it must feel like. Kagome just cried on the Chi-warrior shoulder, until she was taken into Inuyasha's hold. "Thank-you guys. I..."
She was cut of by Inuyasha, "Let's beat this coward of demon for Rae- orri!" Everyone, except Tao, cheered.
~*~*~*~*~ Kagome's P.O.V.
The group skirt around the edge of the sand dune. Shippou clutched his stomach. A low grumble came from the small, "I'm hungry."
Coral giggled as her stomach growled in unison with Shippou's. "Me too."
Kagome smiled sweetly, "I think it's time for a lunch break; don't you Inuyasha?"
The hanyou quickly snapped back to reality, "Aaaa... sure, lunch, ya."
Kagome shook her head at her beloved hanyou. She took out her pots and pans, and started to prepare a lunch. "Shippou, can you go get some water from the river?" She handed him a small bucket from inside her pack.
"Aww, Kagome, do I have to." He flashed her a pair of puppy-dog eyes and whimpered quietly. Coral giggled playfully and placed her hand over the pot. Water slowly filled the pot. The group gasped as a single unit.
Kagome chuckled to herself, "Well then how about you two go get some strawberries for dessert." She handed Shippou the pail once again. This time he smiled brightly. The two demon children skipped off, hand-in-hand, towards the forest.
The rest of the group placed themselves in their usual positions. Little happened as Kagome stirred the ramen, yet everyone felt unnerved even Inuyasha. "I want to continue searching the town," he finely muttered.
The group started at him for a few seconds until finely Kagome nodded her approval. "Ok Inuyasha, but take Miroku with you." ~ At least then he'll stay out of Sango's hair~
Inuyasha and Miroku stood. Inuyasha began leaping ahead, forcing Miroku to run after.
The remaining girls all shook their heads.
"So, Kagome," Rae-orri piped, "need any help cooking?"
Tao's eye grew in fright, "You? Cook?"
"Yes, I cook. Some of us weren't raised as unorthodox pigs."
Tao bit her tongue, and muttered an unbearable "feh". She spread her wings and flew to a nearby tree. With a moody pout she perch on a thick branch. "Stupid humans," was all she whispered.
Sango looked up sadly at her dragon friend.
"What did I say that was so bad?" Rae-orri questioned.
Sango turned to the raven haired girl, "You questioned her unbinding."
"Okay. And why is she so touchy about that?"
Sango sighed and took a quick glance at Tao. "She watched all of her family members die, even her five year old brother."
"Oh," Rae-orri muttered, a sudden guilt playing in her eyes. Sango and Kagome nodded slowly. "May I ask a favor of you Kagome? Can I barrow some of those muffin mix?"
(A/N: How she knows about muffin mix I don't know...ahh gotta got to love the power of the author)
*****
Shippou and Coral skipped happily through the surrounding bush. Coral hummed quietly, as Shippou chattered on recklessly. They soon came upon a bush full of delicious strawberries.
"Yippee!" Shippou examined, as he began to quickly fill Kagome's buckets.
Coral giggled as the hyper active kitsune's tail bobbed up and down. ~I wish I had a cute tail like that.~ Coral pouted and crossed her arms.
"What's wrong Coral?" Shippou stopped picking strawberries. He dropped his pail and ran towards Coral, who was now crying. He sat her down calmly, and wrapped one arm around her shoulder.
Coral sobbed a few more times before answering. "It's nothing. Just, it's not fair! You have a cute tail, Inuyasha has kawwai ears and Kirara is cute all over. Why can't I be cute?!" She began to cry into Shippou's shoulder.
Shippou sweat dropped. He slowly rubbed her back, and whispered a few"there, there's" "I think your cute."
Coral peered up at him questionly. "Really?" ~He thinks I'm cute? But I don't have a tail like he dose? ~
"Ya, you have the cutest laugh I've ever heard." Coral blushed a deep shade of turquoise at this, "And you're all blue. Blue is my favourite colour." Shippou smiled sincerely.
Coral smiled shyly. She allowed her eyes to fall on his orange hair. "Orange is my favourite colour." Shippou blushed. Rising from their sitting position, they smiled at one another. They clasped hands and began picking strawberries for Kagome's treat.
***** Miroku's P.O.V.
Miroku skirted along the edges of the sand dune, as Inuyasha jumped from the odd rooftop to another rooftop. He hummed and kept away from his hanyou friend.
~ Don't know what's got into him lately. It's not like capturing the demons of old will benefit him in anyway, so then why dose he aid Rae-orri so willingly?~
He looked up to see Inuyasha frozen in place "Do you hear that?"
Miroku strained his ears. He could hear a soft and distant voice. "Who is it Inuyasha? Is it a demon?"
"I'm not sure. It doesn't smell like a demon, but it doesn't smell human either," he raised one eyebrow in question to the hoshi.
"I don't want it going any where near the girls. I say we investigate."
Inuyasha nodded in agreement. They sped around the roof tops and trees. Inuyasha, being the speedy little puppy he is, made it there first. He froze and watched the person before him in awe. Miroku heaved up beside Inuyasha. Seeing what Inuyasha was staring at, he stood straight up with a grin.
In front of them danced a stunning girl of what looked to be eighteen. Her sandy blonde hair flowed with the warm summer wind. As she twirled slowly, her brown colored skirt swept up the sand and created a glimmer effect. Her peasant shirt clung and hung in all the right places. She hummed and danced to a tune only she could hear.
The hoshi and the hanyou stood in their places, mesmerized by the enchanting girl. Inuyasha snapped out of his trance first, while Miroku drooled on a little bit longer. With a tinge of nervousness, he brought his hand to his mouth and gave a small cough.
Her eyes snapped open, as her body froze in her dancing position. Slowly she brought her hand down to her sides. "Hello," her voice was smooth and sexy, but rang with certain sweetness.
The two stared attentively into her big brown eyes. A warm breeze blew sand and dust into their path. When it settled again, the girl was right in front of them by only a few feet. "Excuse me.... But I was talking to you!"
"Hullo," Inuyasha muttered.
The girl nodded her greeting "My name is Fawn." She then turned to Miroku, "Who are you?" Her nose was only about two inches from his face.
"I. I'm Miroku, and that's Inuyasha," he looked her over from head to toe, "It is dangerous in these parts. Why are you here?"
Fawn blinked repetively. "Oh, it was awful! Raiders from the next village came and sabotaged my town! They took the women and killed the children and men."
"How did you survive?" His hand moved down to caress her buttocks.
Apparently she didn't notice, because she kept on rambling, "I was at the well. I saw them ride off through the forest."
She flung herself into Inuyasha's arms, "but it's ok now, you're here to here to protect me..." She leaned her head on his shoulder and sighed. Her eyes sagged closed as she fell asleep right there and then. Inuyasha looked up at his friend with a baffled face.
Miroku grinned, "I guess she's coming with us then?"
Inuyasha sighed, "I guess so." So, Inuyasha picked her up bridal style and the two headed back towards the others.
~ I can't imagine Sango will be happy about this. ~

A/N: ok that's the starting for the climax of this chapter. All chapters from now on will be written in this style (cut in two). This way I will be able to update faster, and I won't get board with myself.
Rae-orri – Ok Rae, your obsessed with my story and you can't spell Tao?! You need to get a life. We both need to get lives. Let's go life hunting!! Lol talk to you later!
Kashiaga - Yay! Two out of three right! I think your story is great! Please update soon and I'll try to too. EVERYBODY READ IT!!!!!!!!
True_blue_friend – ok, I know you didn't review mine but you have read it and told Rae-orri... so I'll talk to you to! I just wanted to say that I concur, I love my details are one of my good (probably my only good) points. But how come Rae got goddess and I only got amazing, jks jks. Hope your story is posted soon.
Sayori-chan – Thank you, I love dragons... so yeah, I guess that's why I decided it. The pairings will probably be KagInu, MirSan, CoralShip, and maybe KogRae. I'm not sure if I should put anybody with Tao. Would that be over-kill?
A/N 2: if anyone was wondering why it was taking so long, it is because high school is freaking me out. I have only two months left of grade eight and I have to graduate. AHH!!! But, I am working on calming my nerves and writing. Hopefully, Rae will be able to annoy me enough to make me write faster.
