Disclaimer: I don't own InuYasha, but if I did, I definitely wouldn't ride the bus to school.
Author Notes: *smiles* Even though I haven't gotten as many reviews as I'd like, this is still
(and probably will remain) my first fic. So, I'm glad I get any (reviews that is, but, sure, I'd like
more... *greedy*) Anyway, on with the story. After that last chappy you're all(?) probably a little
anxious to know what happens, so I decided to put it out anyway.
~* Over The Edge - Chapter 4: Broken*~
(No, Kagome's ankle is NOT broken, it has another meaning)
After a few minutes of squirming around, trying to get the possessive hanyou to loosen his hold,
Kagome gave up and leaned into him. She had to admit, it was nice in his warm, muscular,
embrace. He had an arm around her waist and one to secure her arms, which gave reason that she
COULD NOT escape his grasp.
She let out a sigh and relaxed into his arms, and soon she fell back to sleep. Of course, InuYasha
had actually been awaken in her movement. But, he didn't want Kagome to try and walk, when
she was inclined to hurt herself further. So InuYasha again tucked the fire-rat around her to keep
her warm, while he was to go out of the ridge to see what the weather would be like. But as he
moved away, she winced from loss of comfort in his warmth. This brought a smile to his face
after the fight she'd put up to get away from him.
The weather was stable for now, so he figured he'd get a head start on caching up to Shippou's
trail. He walked over, and picked up Kagome gingerly, then bounded off toward the tree-line
with her in his arms.
***
By the time InuYasha reached the tree-line, Kagome had awakened and was strongly fighting the
fact that he would be the one to carry her when she clearly wanted to at least attempt to walk.
"Oi, Kagome. Were moving five times the speed this way. Just lean back and relax will ya."
"InuYasha, I don't like your smug additude. Now put me down, or else!"
"Or else what? You'll "sit" me? I doubt that you really want to do that Kagome. If you did, you'd
come crashing down with me, and more than just your ankle will be sprained with that."
She let out a 'feh' much like the ones he tends to direct at her, and continued to argue. "How am
I supposed to get comfortable in this mess you've wrapped me up in? Not to mention your tight
hold is cutting off my circulation!..."
"You were pretty comfortable last night." he said this in a low tone as if to mock her. But she
became quiet real quick with his words, because she knew if she said anything else he'd through
it right back at her. 'He was awake! Gods just kill me now...'
So she gave in, and leaned into his chest, resting her head on his shoulder. She even brought her
arms up around his neck for extra support. After all, they would be at camp soon, now that they
were in the trees.
***
Shippou woke missing the warmth of his mother figure of which he usually curled up against.
But above all he was hungry. They hadn't been able to stop at all since they left Kagome with
InuYasha at the other side of the mountain. Even then, he'd only had an apple because of how
stubborn InuYasha had been. Even Sango had denied him breakfast, because Miroku had sided
with the hanyou on the matter, and wouldn't have been able to cook it with out the monk finding
out.
"Oi, Sango-chan, can't we just have a little to eat?"
"No, if InuYasha finds out I gave you food, Shippou-chen, he'll have my head. Then he'll have
yours for making me give it to you. Wait, maybe that's not such a bad idea," she added in
sarcasm, "They should be getting here soon, so if he found YOU eating food, then I wouldn't get
in trouble for it..."
"That's okay, Sango-chan, I guess I could wait." He was at pure defeat, but wondered if they
should begin to back-track, as to meet up with them sooner.
***
Sure enough, within a few minutes, InuYasha came bounding int the clearing with Kagome in his
arms. Shippou lunged toward Kagome as to look for comfort (maybe another apple), but
InuYasha caught the scruff of his fur before he could reach her.
"Hands off, brat."
He gently placed Kagome on a soft patch of moss, and went digging through her pack to see if
she had anything else to wear, so he could have his fire-rat back.
"Kagome-sama, I'm hungry." Shippou complained, giving her the most innocent, sad, begging
look he could conger.
"Okay, Shippou-chen. Bring me my bag, and I'll find something for you." The kisune gave her a
gentle hug along with an squeal of joy, then ran off to find her bag amongst the others.
Shippou found her bag all right, right with InuYasha digging through it. "It's not good to go
through Kagome-sama's bag InuYasha, especially not while she's hurt." he puffed out his chest
to appear stronger, in that he knew he was defending his mother figure. InuYasha merely shot a
sharp glare as the kitsune huffed, crossing his arms. "Come on InuYasha, she said if I got her, her
bag, that she'd make me something to eat..."
"She WHAT?!"
***
From that point, Shippou found himself panting a lot and acting a bit jumpy from the way the
hanyou reacted. A series of threats, as well as pounding fists, and a lot of running was involved,
at his cost.
"What's wrong, Shippo-chen?" Sango asked with concern.
"Ahg!" He leapt up in the air with panic.
"You're acting a bit jumpy today scince Inu_"
"Where?" the kitsune looked around frantically as he jumped at the clueless exterminator for
protection.
"Um... Shippou," She removed him from her chest and set him on the ground in front of her.
"...calm down will you. Look, if this is about Kagome, InuYasha is just being a little over-
protective of her, that's all."
"But_"
"So go to Kagome, and she'll protect you. And if you just trust me, maybe later you'll find a treat
in your pocket... hm?" She was obviously trying to rid of the paranoid fox-demon, and this got
his attention. She could tell when his eye's lit up.
"Arigautu, Sango-sama." He put up his arms for a hug, but as she bent over to finish the gesture,
a familiar hand squeezed her back side.
"How many times do I have to tell you this Monk. Don't touch me!" as she continued on him,
she found that she was repeatedly hitting him over the head with her boomerang-bone, as he'd
make another move to grope her. "One of these days, you're going to find someone to bare your
child, but if you persist with this perverted habit, they'll catch you groping at someone you'd of
never had a chance with!" then she stormed away, leaving her last remark ringing in his ears.
'I can't let that happen. She was just mad at me, that's all. But... what if she's right?..."
Well, if you didn't guess it, the chapter title referred the beginning of Miroku's habit being
broken *shocker* (is that possible?!) It still seems that not many people like to review, but I
would appreciate it if you wold, Arigautu.
