Disclaimer- I do not own Inuyasha. I can never hope to.
I'm a beginning writer for Inuyasha fanfics, and this is my first one. I'm
open to productive criticism, nothing more. Please review this and tell me
what you think! Include pointers and ideas to make my next chapter more
interesting! Oh, and a suggestion for a new title for my stories would be
most appreciated.
*~*~*~*~Chapter Three*~*~*~*~
The smell of fish simmering in a frying pan wavered up to Kagome's nose, and she awoke.
"Mmm, breakfast?" she asked sleepily.
"Yeah, but eat quickly so we can get going to that village", responded Inuyasha, as he flipped the fish.
Kagome got up, grabbed her clothes and hairbrush, and began to walk away.
"Oi! Where are you going?" asked Inuyasha in a concerned tone.
"I'm going to change! You can't expect me to change right here, can you?" asked Kagome sarcastically.
"I'd like to see that", mumbled Miroku, who then earned a good whack on the head from Sango's Hirokatsu.
"Ow!"
Inuyasha snorted, and went back to frying the fish. Kagome walked away to a thick bush that was a ways away. As she began to take off her shirt, she suddenly screeched as Kouga slid to a halt beside her.
"Hey, Kagome", Kouga said, but then immediately went dumb founded and stared when he realized she was topless.
Then, as if on chain reaction, Inuyasha came on the other side of her, alarmed.
"EEK! What are you two doing? Housawri! Housawri!" she yelled, absolutely crimson.
"Oof!" said Inuyasha as he went into the dirt.
"I...I'm ssorry Kagome, I didn't mean to...see you...like this", stuttered Kouga, turning cherry red and finally able to look down.
"Well can you be more careful next time?" Kagome shrieked.
With her shirt at last on, Inuyasha jumped up and was instantly in Kouga's face.
"Why don't you watch where your going, you big idiot! You completely walked in on Kagome!" Inuyasha said angrily.
"Hey, it's not like I meant to, and you walked in on her too!" retorted Kouga.
"Hush up! Kouga, what were you even doing?" asked Kagome, pissed.
"I, I could smell your scent, so I thought I would drop by to say hello", Kouga said, trying to look innocent so Kagome wouldn't be too mad at him.
"A good 'hello' you did", hissed Inuyasha.
"Baka!" yelled Kouga.
"Be quiet both of you! Kouga, I can forgive you because you didn't mean to. However, Inuyasha, why did you come running over here when you knew I was changing?" said Kagome, trying her best to get herself back under control.
"Well I heard you scream, what was I supposed to do. You could have been in danger!" cried Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha, you really mean that?" inquired Kagome, touched.
"Err, well yeah", he answered, blushing madly. "Sorry for walking in on you."
"I'm sorry too", Kouga added quickly.
"Alright, but next time you two need to be more...careful", said Kagome. "Umm, do you guys mind? I still need to change."
"Oh, uh yea", Kouga and Inuyasha said as Kouga sped off and Inuyasha walked back towards camp.
Kagome let out a shaky sigh and resumed changing and brushing her hair. When she was finished, she headed back towards camp, thinking about Inuyasha.
'What he said was so sweet, and I could tell he meant it. I just wish he would be more open and kind all the time', she thought.
Sango, even though she heard Kagome scream, stood her ground, because she heard bits of the conversation like 'walk in on' and 'change clothes' and decided it wouldn't be wise to attract more attention to Kagome in that situation. She had also managed to make Miroku stand his ground too, but not after, she whacked him on the head for the second time with Hirokatsu that morning. Sango didn't have much trouble with Shippou once she explained what had happened to Kagome. At first, he wanted to go see what was wrong, but she rapidly told him what the 'situation' was and he remained silent when Kagome returned.
Sensing the uneasiness between Inuyasha and Kagome, Sango quickly thought of an excuse.
"Hey, you guys, the foods done", she announced.
"Oh, ok", Kagome and Inuyasha said in union, and then blushed furiously.
When they had finished eating and Kagome's things were in her pack, they started toward the village.
"So, how far is this village?" asked Miroku, desperately trying to get a conversation going.
"I'd say some miles, four or five probably", responded Inuyasha.
"Then it's time for a nap", Shippou said, as he yawned, hopped from Kagome's shoulder onto the top of her pack, dug out a blanket from it, and stretched out on the soft yellow fabric.
Kagome giggled and shook her head.
"Hey, there's a brook up ahead, can we rest there?" requested Kagome.
"Keh, you guys have really weak bodies if you keep on having to rest all the time. At this rate, we won't get there 'till supper time!" scoffed Inuyasha.
"Well if it's such a burden, then fine we'll keep on going!" snapped Kagome, her bad mood returning.
That caught Inuyasha off guard, and his mind went blank, but for just a couple seconds.
"Fine, if you really want to stop here we can", Inuyasha said, trying a different approach.
"Fine."
Sango motioned Kagome to follow her as she walked to a grassy ledge above the water.
"So, what really happened back there?" Sango inquired.
"Oh, I was changing and Kouga comes skidding next to me while I'm topless! Then to make matters worse, Inuyasha comes running and sees me bare. So I sit him", Kagome said, but was interrupted by an,
"Ooof! What's your problem bitch?" from Inuyasha as he went into the ground.
"Sorry, Inuyasha", Kagome said, even though Sango could tell she didn't mean it.
"So as I was saying, I 'S-A-T' him, and when he was normal he started yelling at Kouga, so I screamed at them to stop and then they both apologized, after some name calling, of course", finished Kagome.
Sango sighed and shook her head.
"They'll never change. You know Inuyasha loves you, he just can't say it".
"I know."
"Hey are you two done with you 'girl' chat? We have to get going!" Inuyasha called over to them.
"Okay, coming", said Kagome as she got up with Sango.
"This is where the demons' supposed to be?" asked Shippou skeptically as he eyed the clean and humble village.
"They said the demon comes out at night, kills and eats what he wants, but then strangely nothing is disturbed", Inuyasha said.
"Then it could be an evil spirit. If it is, I may have to free it, not you killing it, Inuyasha", said Miroku.
Inuyasha snorted and hopped into a tree.
"Now alls we can do is wait until night fall", Inuyasha commented.
"Inuyasha, here it comes!" yelled Miroku. "And it is a evil spirit! Let me take care of it."
"What ever, monk", Inuyasha said.
Miroku opened his hand, and screamed "Kazanna!"
Instantly, the evil spirit was sucked into the black hole of Miroku's hand.
"That was too easy", sneered Miroku. "Now, to collect our pay..."
"Ah, houshi-sama, since you have destroyed that terrible demon, our master would like to know what you want in return", said an old, graying man, as he bowed before Miroku.
"Tell him I want a room for all of my friend's to stay in, lots of food, and...entertainment", he said, smirking at the last word.
Sango smacked him.
"Don't get any ideas, houshi."
"Alright, alright", he came his response.
"Well then, let's get some rest, ne?" asked Kagome, as she walked toward the house of the master that ruled over the small village.
Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, Miroku, and Shippou all sat down on a square cushion as delicious food was placed in front of them.
"So, Kagome, how are things in your time?" asked Sango casually.
"Oh, everything's fine. Except for the fact that I'm lagging behind in my studies and I have tons of tests I need to study for", she answered glumly.
"Hmm, so not all that great" Sango said.
"Yeah."
Kagome spread out her sleeping bag on top of the straw and bamboo bed.
"It's still evening, want to take a bath?" invited Kagome.
"Sure, I could use one, but we'll have to be wary of Miroku", Sango said giggling.
Kagome chuckled nervously as she picked up her bath things and followed Sango out.
In the safe seclusion of the feudal bathrooms and under the steaming water, Kagome talked to Sango.
"Kagome, do you really think I should marry Miroku when this is all over?" asked Sango hesitantly.
"Of course, Sango! You love him and he loves you, no matter how perverted he is sometimes. That's all that matters. I think when his Kazanna is gone; he won't be so tuned to be a leech, and may be a more suitable husband. Nevertheless, even if he doesn't change, why would you want him to? You fell in love with him the way he was."
"Kagome, that's so nice of you to say. You really are a sister to me."
