Chapter 2 Helping someone you don't want to
"Why do we have to go back now?" Asked an irritated Inuyasha as he walked in the back of the group.
"Because I have to get more supplies and stuff like that!" Replied Kagome as she pushed her bike along, Shippou in the basket.
"Plus, we could use some rest." Miroku added as he looked up at the sky through the trees.
Sango nodded. "And we're almost to Kaeda's village anyway."
"Feh." Inuyasha grumbled, mindlessly placing his hands in his sleeves.
The sun was high in the sky by the time they reached the peaceful village, or that's what they thought. When they entered the village, it was hush whisper floating around.
Inuyasha's ears twitched as he listened to each villager's conversation.
"Well, what is it Inuyasha?" Kagome asked, interrupting Inuyasha's concentration.
"I don't know," He paused, looking around the village once more. "But we should go to Kaeda's hut."
They all nodded, walking off to the other side of the village where Kaeda's hut laid.
They reached the hut, hearing frantic yells from inside.
"I tell yea!! There were like demon fire, but faster!!"
"Well ye sit down and stop yellin'?"
"But-"
"Kaeda, what's going on?" Kagome asked as the five entered the small hut.
"Ah, I was wondering when all of ye would come." Kaeda greeted.
"Kaeda, what are all these whispers about a man raving about sticks that shoots out demon's breath?" Inuyasha asked, getting right to the point.
"They shoot out little iron balls!" The man exclaimed, running up to Inuyasha. He grabbed Inuyasha's Kimono top, pulling the hanyou closer to him. "They are fast! Faster then a demon can attack! They can even bring down a demon!!"
"Get off me!" Inuyasha growled, pushing the man away. "Who are you anyway?"
"M-my deepest apologize." The man bowed in respect. "I am Taiju, a man from a far off village." He rose, looking Inuyasha strait in the eye. "And I have come here to ask of your help, or even check these new weapons out! Please, do not make this old man beg!!"
"Keh! It's not like there's any demons or jewel shards! Why should I even consider helping you!" Inuyasha said coldly.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome growled. "Of course we'll help you!" She exclaimed, but then stopped. "My tests!" Kagome yelled, panicking a little. "I have a test tomorrow!! Inuyasha!" She turned to him. "Will you please help Taiju." She pleaded.
Inuyasha gulped slightly, feeling her brown eyes stare strait at him. "...... fine." He mumbled.
"Thank you!" Kagome chirped.
"Well, you will have to do this on your own Inuyasha." Both Sango and Miroku stepped forward.
"Me and Miroku have promised some villagers we would help them with their harvest." Sango explained.
"W-what?"
"Sorry Inuyasha, we can't back out of this." Miroku smiled sheepishly as he and Sango left the hut.
"And it's not like I can help." Shippou said, feeling left out. "I'm just a kid!"
Inuyasha completely ignored Shippou's comment. "So, it's just me and Kagome?"
"H-hey!"
"No, you have to go on your own." Kagome smiled, patting him on the back. "Well, I have to go now."
Inuyasha whirled around. "What? Your leaving me too?!"
Kagome blinked, nodding slightly. "Yea, I told you I have to get some supplies and I have some test too."
"But-"
"No, I got to go!" Kagome said, running out the door. "I'll be back in three days! Bye!" And with that she was out the door and off to the well.
'Go after her! Three days are too long!! You have to tell her!!' A little voice yelled at the back of Inuyasha's head. He nodded to himself, running off after Kagome.
"H-hey!" Taiju called. "You still have to help me!!"
Inuyasha ignored Taiju completely. He finally found Kagome after a minute of following her scent. "Kagome!" He called.
Kagome stopped at the edge of the forest and turned to face him. "Hmm? What is it Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha skidded to a stop in front of her. "Well, uh....." He stumbled, blushing slightly.
Kagome frowned. "Inuyasha, I really have to go...."
"I know."
Kagome smiled slightly. "But, there's something I need to tell you."
Inuyahsa stared at her, nodding slightly. "OK....."
"Those things Taiju kept talking about," Kagome paused, leaning back against a tree. "I think I know what they are....."
Inuyasha raised a brow. "What are they?"
"Inuyasha, they are called guns." She turned to him, frowning. "Please, do not get in front of them! There dangerous! They can kill you!"
"But-"
"No buts! I'm serious! These things are dangerous, even to a hanyou like you. Just promise me one thing."
"What?"
"Don't ever stand in front of them, please." Kagome pleaded.
Inuyasha stayed silent for a moment, then finally nodded." All right."
Kagome smiled. "Thank you Inuyasha." She turned around and ran off, back home.
