Redid version (the other version sucked! Sorry about the delay all! Damn my writer's block!)~~~
*~*~*~*
Inuyasha quickly put his hands over his head, trying to hide the fuzzy ears from Kagome's view, but knowing that the action was probably worthless. He turned around, confirming that she had actually seen them. The shocked look in her eyes told him that she certainly had. He internally winced at what would happen, now that someone knew his secret. He tensed up, waiting her to start running and screaming.
Kagome had seen the white triangular ears on his head with perfect clarity. Her mouth was completely open and her dark brown orbs were wide in surprise. Was he what she thought he was? Was he a demon? She had learned about demons from her grandfather, who lived in a shrine not far away from her house. She worked at the shrine as a job after school to help her grandpa and to take in some extra pocket money. The shrine did very well, considering that most of the people around were Christian or Catholic. It held many books on demons that she would read whenever she got a break from work. They held loads of information on all sorts of demons. She had never seen a real demon before. Her grandpa said that he had seen a few, but their numbers were limited. Ever since when they had hit their prime in the feudal era, the demon population had gone down considerably with the increased pollution and more humans inhabiting the earth. The ones that still lived hid their true identities and stayed in disguise at all times, posing as your every day human, which is why most humans forgot about their existence.
Kagome realized that her mouth was wide open, so she abruptly shut it. Her gaze lowered from his now covered ears to his honey golden eyes. They were staring at her with great intensity, ready for her to make the first move. 'He has to be a demon! Look at his hair and eyes...not to mention his ears...and the fact that he managed to save me, Miroku, and Sango from a plane crash.'
Inuyasha's tenseness slowly faded. His fear of being discovered lessened as his curiosity and concern for the girl grew. 'What's her problem? Why is she just staring at me? She looks as if she's just found some interesting poster on the wall. She's not acting scared at all! Is she in some kind of shock?'
Noticing that she had been staring, Kagome swallowed, trying to think of something intelligent to say. "What type of demon are you? I would say Inu youkai, but you don't have their trademark ears and face marks."
Inuyasha was totally speechless. She knew he was a demon? Not many people knew of demons. Most had long forgotten of them, the only ones that still had knowledge of them were either too old for people to believe their crazy stories, or dead. "H-how do you know that I'm a demon?
"Well it's pretty obvious," started Kagome, nearly smiling at the stunned look on his face. "The ears, the hair, the eyes...It all adds up. I've heard a lot about demons from my grandpa, that's how I know."
"If you know that I'm a demon, then why aren't you scared?" he asked, finding himself more and more confused with the weird girl standing in front of him, with a-a smile on her face?
"Well, no, you've never acted any way that would make me scared of you. I get annoyed with you, yes, but not scared. You saved my life for God's sake! Plus, my grandpa told me that most of the demons that are living these days are a lot less dangerous than the ones in history. Demons have to watch out for themselves now a lot more than back then, because if they're caught today they will most likely be hunted and killed," commented Kagome thoughtfully, rather pleased at herself for knowing a great deal about modern demons.
Stunned by her accurate knowledge of Demons, all Inuyasha could do was stare at the strange girl before him. He didn't know how to respond her. She was the first person that he knew that wasn't totally disgusted or scared by his appearance. She didn't even seem to mind the fact that he was a demon.
"Kagome! Inuyasha! What are you guys doing? Hurry up!" called Miroku from somewhere up ahead.
"Coming! Just a sec!" replied Kagome hastily. She then turned to Inuyasha and her face turned a little more serious, but still had a hint of a smile tracing her features. "I won't tell anyone about you being a demon unless you tell me that I can, so don't worry about your secret getting out."
Kagome, now realizing that she was still holding Inuyasha's hat, gave him a sheepish smile and held it out for him to take.
Inuyasha snapped out of his daze, and slowly grabbed his hat, as though expecting her to start screaming if he made any drastic moves.
With that said and done, Kagome beamed brightly, turned around, and started walking in the direction that Sango and Miroku were in.
Watching her retreating back, Inuyasha let out the breath that he hadn't realized he'd been holding. "Well, that was weird..."
~*~*~*~
Sango slowed down, seeing that the rest of the group was slightly behind, but she didn't slow down enough for a certain someone to catch up.
She glanced around at her surroundings. Everything was so beautiful. Plants of all sizes were everywhere. There were many trees, so many that there were barely any places in the forest that were not shaded. Hanging off almost every tree were vines, making it hard for her to travel. Most of the plants were green, but there were also many colorful flowers splashed across the forest floor.
Seeing a particularly exotic flower, Sango bent down to pick it. It was large, yellow, and had little black spots specked across its surface. She picked it and brought it to her nose. She smiled at the pleasant aroma the flower emitted. She was about to stand up, but before she did she felt something rubbing her body part that happened to be sticking out since she was bending down.
A dark blush spread across her face. She whirled around and came face to face with the owner of the perverted hands. Her blush deepened as she noticed the closeness of their faces. "Miroku!" she yelled, backing away to put some space between them. "Why do you always have to put your hands where they don't belong?!"
"What are you talking about? I would never dare invade your privacy, dear Sango," Miroku said smoothly, giving her a look of utmost innocence.
Sango, who was very much immune to his antics, made an unladylike snort and rolled her eyes. "Yeah, right."
Miroku smiled and put a hand over his chest. "You wound me!"
Sango giggled at his act. He always had a way of making her laugh, even if she was mad at him. She slapped his head playfully. "You're such a dork."
"And you, my lady, are such a princess-,"
"Are we there yet?" asked an exhausted Kagome, who had finally managed to catch up.
Sango gave the girl a small smile. "Not quite, but we're pretty close if I remember right."
"That's good. I'm really tired...and hungry."
"Where's Inuyasha?" asked Miroku.
As if answering his question, Inuyasha came into view.
"Why there you are!" said Miroku, a small perverted smile working its way across his face. "Why, may I ask, were you and Kagome so far behind? Were you having a little...fun?"
"No!" yelled Inuyasha and Kagome in unison, their faces reddening.
Miroku put his hands up in mock surrender. "Whatever you guys say..."
Seeing the murderous looks on Inuyasha's and Kagome's faces, Sango quickly stepped in. "Come on, were almost there. Let's just hurry up and get there before we get dehydrated."
~*~*~*~*~
"We're here!" exclaimed Sango, proud of the fact that she had gotten the group there without problem.
"Water!" yelled Kagome hoarsely, due to her dry mouth. There, in front of her, was a large pond of clear water. So clear, in fact, that you could easily see the fish beneath the surface swimming around. There was a small creek that connected to it, filling the pond with fresh water, and another creek leading water out, which most likely made the water so clear. The water looked so inviting that Kagome ran in, getting waist high in the cool water. She brought the precious liquid to her mouth, and drank greedily.
Sango, who was also extremely thirsty and hot, got in the water next to Kagome and quenched her thirst.
Miroku and Inuyasha stayed at the edge of the water, rather than getting in with the girls, and drank to their fill there.
"Well," said Sango when she had finally had enough to drink. "The sun's about to set, and we need to build a fire to keep bugs and animals away from us. Miroku, Inuyasha, I need you two to get some firewood while Kagome and I try to find a good place to make camp for the night."
The men grumbled about having to do more work than the girls, but still complied to Sango's order.
"Okay!" said Kagome, clapping her hands together. "Where do we start?"
"Hmmm," mumbled Sango as she looked at their surroundings. "We could make camp over there." She pointed her finger toward a flat spot with barely any plant-life in it.
Kagome looked to the small plot of land that Sango was pointing at. "Yeah, that looks like the best place I can see."
They cleared the area out as best as they could, picking all of the plants and taking all of the rocks out.
When the job was done Kagome wiped the sweat from her forehead and sat on a large discarded rock. She held her stomach, which was growling fiercely. "Do we have any food?"
Sango rummaged through one of the packs and found a good supply of peanuts and pop. "We'll have to eat this for now."
Kagome took a bag of peanuts and put them all in her mouth at one time, but all that they seemed to do was make her hungrier. She grabbed for another bag, but before she could get it Sango slapped her hand.
"We might be here for a while, Kagome. We have to eat things in ration."
Sighing, Kagome leaned back on the rock. "How long do you think we'll be stuck here?"
Sango, who had also chosen a rock to sit on, gave Kagome a sad smile. "It depends upon when people are sent to come looking for us, and how long they keep looking. It might take a whole year for all we know.
Kagome's stomach twisted in knots at the very thought of being away from her family, friends, and food for such a long period of time.
"We're back!" exclaimed a voice nearby.
Sango and Kagome turned around to see Miroku and Inuyasha back from their trip in the woods. Inuyasha was carrying almost twice as much wood as Miroku and wasn't even working up a sweat. Miroku, on the other hand, appeared to be having a hard time carrying his pile.
Miroku set his pile down, his back popping gratefully. "Nice spot you girls have picked out here. It's pretty late, so we need to arrange some sleeping arrangements. Sango and I can sleep-"
Before he was able to finish his perverted thought, an angry Sango hit Miroku to the ground.
Both girls rolled their eyes at him, and whispered an exhausted "Men..."
~*~*~*~*~
I know, kinda weird part to stop at, but I didn't want the chapter to get too long. I hope you all liked the redone version. Please review and tell me if you like it better. I spent a long time trying to get it all to come out right. Thanx!
