Whirling around, they came face to face with the girl that Inuyasha found. When he first brought her to Kaede's village, all they saw was a bundle of what looked like ripped and dirty pieces of rags. After leaving her in Kaede's care, he took it upon himself to make sure that no one went into the hut, save for himself and Kaede. No one knew what it was that drove the hanyou to such degrees and Kaede was rarely seen, as it was that she spent most of her time with the patient that was entrusted into her care.
The person who Inuyasha brought back was a young woman who was dressed in a simple robe, probably due to the courtesy of Kaede. She was of average hieght and a dull sheen of silver hair that cascaded all the way to the ground. Her skin was pale and dirty as from the condition she was brought in. Her eyes held a world of emotions in them as the smoky gray orbs flecked with silver stared back at them. She was leaning heavily on to the side of the hut she had came out of.
Kagome stared enviously at the girl in front of them. It wasn't a wonder why Inuyasha was so protective over his find. She was beautiful and more so if she washed up. Shifting her eyes slightly to see Inuyasha's reaction, she felt her heart plummet as the hanyou's complete attention was held by the seemingly goddess. Looking around as discrectly as she could, she could see that the girl had their undivided attention.
"What are you doing up, young lady?"
Kaede appeared from behind the hut, bearing baskets of herbs with her.
"You should be resting." Kaede reprimed.
"Gomen ne, but as much as I would like to go back to sleep, I can't." Gesturing to the group infront of her, she continued, "They were too noisy."
Snapping out of his shock, Kouga turned to Inuyasha with a fierce look on his face.
"How dare you cheat on my woman?!"
"What the hell are you talking about?" Inuyasha's hands moved to rest on the handle of the sword at his side.
Pointing rudely at the girl who interupted them, he said with conviction in his voice, "She's got your scent all over her."
Growling, Inuyasha attempted to punch Kouga who moved away quickly. "First, Kagome is not your woman, you stupid wolf. And secondly, not only was it me who was carrying the girl around, but I was also helping Kaede take care of her!" He gave a stisfied smirk when his fist finally landed on the youkai's left cheek. His triumph didn't last long however.
"Osuwari!"
Bang!
"Stupid wench...."
When the spell finally wore off, Inuyasha was tempted to hit Kouga again, but after one look at Kagome, he knew he would get sat if he gave in to his urge.
"Feh."
*sweatdrop*
'What a weird group of peopole, although they remind me of my senshi.' A tear slipped from her eyes as she thinks back to the good times she spent with her closest friends,... and to the last time she'd seen them. Shaking herself from the memories, she gave a tiny smile at the group.
'What happened though? The last thing I remembered was....' Pain filled her eyes as a sob was barely held in, although that did nothing to stop the stream of tears falling from her eyes.
"Meow."
Pausing in their activites, the group stared at the girl who was now curled up at the side of the hut with Kirara in her small form rubbing against the girl's arms in an attempt to comfort her.
'How could he? Why? What did I do wrong?! Did I... did I do something that I shouldn't have? Did he act that way because of me? Is it... is it... my fault?'
Inuuyasha broke away from the group and headed towards to the girl. His next action made everyone go into shock, before Kagome started feeling a certain green monster clawing its way into her heart.
'What does she have that I don't? What makes her so special that he does this even in front of everyone?!'
"I knew it!! Don't even deny it now that you aren't betraying my woman!"
Inuyasha had gathered the girl into his arms as he settled down comfortably on the ground with her on his lap. Tucking her head under his chin, he began to whisper soothing words which Kouga couldn't even hear. It looked to all the world as though he was trying to shield her from the world's prying eyes, or more specifically, protecting her from the world's pain that she was feeling then.
For once, Inuyasha had ignored Kouga and just continued to hold on to the girl tightly as she sobbed quietly against him. Slowly, her tears came to a stop.
"Arigato...." She murmured, her face still against his chest. Her hands didn't loose their tight hold on his haori as though he might leave her.
"Gomen." Lifting her head slightly away, she said softly, " I ruined your clothing."
"Feh." Putting his chin on top of her head, he continued, "It doesn't matter. After all, cloth is just cloth, ne?" Lowering his head so that he was speaking right into her ear, he said in a volume that wasn't even heard by Kirara, who was right next to them, "Onee-chan?"
*flashback*
"Gomen! Gomen nasi!"
Big round eyes stared in horror at the girl in front of him.
"I didn't mean it! It was an accident! I'm really, really sorry!" The very pair of eyes that stared out in horror shut themselves tightly so not to see the expression on the other person's face.
Smiling softly, she knelt before him in her ruined kimo. Taking his chin with her fingers, she commanded softly, "Look at me."
Although he didn't want to, he just couldn't disobey the only person he loved.
Slowly, he opened his eyes, revealing a pair of golden orbs filled with unshed tears, that stared down at the ground with an intense look of concentration, earning a soft sigh from his companion.
"I'm not mad at you." Gazing softly at the boy, she ran her other hand through his hair, pausing only to rub his left ear on the top of his head, which twitched at her touch.
"But you spent all that time saving enough money to buy that kimo and I ruined it before you've even worn it for a day!"
"Baka." Grabbing a peice of her kimo, she held it up to his face.
"Look at it and tell me what you see."
"Your kimo."
"Iie. It's a cloth that was stitched together just like your haori was, though yous is of a stronger material."
Pulling him into a hug, she said, "Inuyahsa, cloth is just cloth."
*end flashback*
Wide silver eyes snapped up to stared at him.
"Onee-chan...?"
Gomen! Gomen! I know I haven't updated in a long time, but I've been cramped with work, tests, and concerts. I'll won't have time to work on this until school ends, so bear with me. I'll try my best to update as soon as possible, but it also seems as though people don't like my stories all too much. If any of you have time, check out my other fanfic from my account. I have also just started another crossover and will be putting it up when I am able to. Review! Review! Review! Ja ne! ^.~
