Just to See Her Face By Jen "The Stampede" Motou Chapter 3: A new Shard

Present Time

(Miroku's POV)

I sat with Sango, in our little hut. She was making supper, and Shippo and Kohaku were still playing outside. I got up and went outside seeing the sky a bright yellow, as the sun was setting. "Kohaku, Shippo, have either of you seen Inuyasha since he left today?" I inquired. They both shook their heads in a negative reply. "I see." I mumbled, and returned to the hut. "Miroku, has Inuyasha come back?" Sango asked me, looking up as I walked in and sat down with a sigh. "No. Inuyasha has yet to return. He'll be a while Sango." I said as I leaned back on my arms and stared at the ceiling. "Really? You think so?" She questioned. "Yeah." "Why's that Miroku? It's not like we even know where he is. All We got out of Kohaku and Shippo was ' the went to see her' Inuyasha could be anywhere!" She carried on and then continued with Dinner. "Oh I don't know Sango. I think I have a pretty good Idea where Inuyasha went." I said as I laid down and got lost in my thoughts as I stared at the ceiling. "It was about three years ago when this mess all started..........."

Three Years Ago

"Miroku, Careful. You sense that?" I heard Sango whisper as We all paused while walking through a dark forest. My eyes flashed quickly as I watched Inuyasha's ears twitch and his head jerk up. I heard Him sniff the air and then watched him freeze where he was. "Shhhhh.... Everybody quite." He softly ordered, and we all froze as ordered, trying not to even breath too loud, as I don't any of us wanted the quick-temped Hanyou to lose his cool. Sango kept looking all around her, while Shippo clung tightly to my shoulder. Kagome was clutched around Inuyasha's right arm, while his eyes flashed back and forth and his ears twitched. Kagome gasp, as her eyes shrank. "A Shikon jewel shard!" She shouted, and Inuyasha's ears twitched one final time. "Kagome! Get Back!" He shouted, and forcefully sent her back to my arms. As he drew his Tetsusaiga, as a huge demon came through the forest only to meet Inuyasha's Tetsusaiga. "There Inuyasha! There! It has a Jewel shard in its forehead!!" Kagome shouted and that made Inuyasha seem all the more anxious to slay the demon. "Got it!" He shouted and charged the demon, swinging his Tetsusaiga forward slaying it with one fierce blow. Then all that remained was a Shikon Jewel shard, laying there on the cold ground shining in it's brightness. "Its all yours Kagome." I said and pushed her forward. She giggled and bent down, picked it up and placed in a bottle along with three other shards. Inuyasha sheathed his sword, and turned to all of us. "Everyone Ok?" He asked and we all nodded. "Good." He said shortly, and continued to march on. Of course we all followed. Kagome closer to him than the rest of us, but still I couldn't blame her as she so obviously loved him. We walked for a few more hours until we came out of the forest to a clearing. Inuyasha seemed to be in a most fowl mood, as he always did. "That was too easy." He grumbled. "What, Inuyasha?" Kagome asked in a rather clueless tone. "Don't play dumb Kagome; we just picked up a jewel shard!" Inuyasha barked. "Oh." Kagome paused "I guess we're just lucky I guess!" She smiled, and Inuyasha rolled his eyes. "Maybe it's because you've gotten so good with your sword Inuyasha." Shippo suggested while still happily perched on my shoulder. "Yeah Inuyasha! That's it!" Kagome giggled happily and clung to Inuyasha's arm again. "Get off me." He growled, but she didn't let go. "Aw come on Inuyasha! Lighten Up!" Shippo spoke up again. Inuyasha just let out a low grumble. My eyes traveled over to Sango's fine body only to see her giggle. I heard Inyasha grumble again, and noticed hsi pace quicken, to the point where Kagome had to let go of him. "INUYASHA!" Kagome whined, but he didn't stop. "INUYASHA! SLOW DOWN!" She shouted again. He just out the usual 'feh.' without looking back at her. "INUYASHA!" she shouted a final time. He still didn't slow down and I could see that glint in her eyes again. "Inuyasha....." she started in a taunting tone, and he turned around to face her, and just as he did "SIT!" Kagome screamed at the top of her lungs, and his necklace glowed bright purple dragging him straight into the ground. "OWwwwwww............." He uttered while pulling his face from the ground......"Would.....you...stop...DOING THAT?!!!!" Inuyasha growled lowly glaring at her, pulling himself off the ground and dusting himself off. Kagome smiled and giggled at him. "Real funny Kagome. Real Funny." He spat at her. She let out another high pitched 'tee hee' and clanug to his arm again. "Get...of...." He started, before stopping mid-sentence and looking up his ears twiching rapidily. He closed his eyes and sniffed the air turing hsi head in the direction that the smell was coming from. He opened his eyes again and looked back at allof us and with a rather serious tone said "I smell Blood. And Lots of it."
