Chapter 11 Reunion

"Come on Kagome, let's just go already!" Inuyasha sighed, pacing back and forth in front of the cave door. "Before hells freezes over!"

Kagome rolled her eyes, pulling on her winter jacket. "Ha ha.... very funny but I think it already has." She retorted, pulling her backpack up on her shoulders. "Are you ready Kirara?"

Kirara meowed lightly, hoping up onto her shoulders. After nuzzling her cheek for a moment, she hoped down and out passed Inuyasha. With a blaze of fire, she transformed into her larger fire-neko form.

Kagome smiled lightly and followed after Kirara, out into the snow covered lands. Inuyasha's and Kirara's wound had finally healed, well, enough for them to go out. Inuyasha had been anxious to get out and find there way back to the village, but Kagome had firmly told him to rest. She had finally caved in that morning, so here they are.

"Come on Kagome!" Inuyasha called out to her as he started into the forest.

Kagome nodded. "Yeah, yeah! I'm coming!" She ran to Kirara's side and climbed onto her back. "You sure you can carry me?" She whispered into the fire-neko's ear.

Kirara roared lightly and flew off into the air, just right over the tree tops.

Kagome smiled, stroking Kirara's head. She glanced over the side and saw Inuyasha following close behind. He bounced form tree branch to tree branch with out a care in the world. 'I wish I could do that.....' Kagome thought, sitting more straighter on Kirara's back.

"Shippou, do you smell them?" Sango asked, kneeling down next to the kitsune. Shippou was down on all fours, sniffing the ground. He had been like this for the last hour or so.

"No." Shippou replied with a sighed. "I can't find any of their scents! It's all been covered my the snow!"

"Speaking of the snow....." Miroku mumbled, starring off to the forest. "Where did it all come from?"

Sango stood up, brow raised. "From the sky, of course." She walked over to him, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Miroku, are you all right?"

Miroku nodded, smiling at her. "Of course." He turned his head back to the forest. "But it's early fall, snow should not come until later this year! This is too odd."

Sango nodded, taking her hand off his shoulder. "I've been wondering the same....." She looked over at Shippou who was now making a small snow man. "It came out of no where, like that man who told us about the people killing demons......." She sighed deeply, shacking her head. "It all doesn't make sense!"

Miroku nodded as Shippou jumped up onto his shoulder. "Well, let's just continue on our-" He stopped, hearing some rustling off to the side.

Shippou held on tighter on Miroku's shoulder, trembling. "S-something's out t-there....."

"Inuyasha! Where are we?" Kagome called from riding on Kirara's back. They had been traveling for more then 5 hours and still, no signs of.... anything!

Inuyasha grumbled something under his breath as he stopped in a clearing. He looked around, frowning. 'Damn it, I think we've been here before.....' He thought, turning round and round on the spot.

Kirara landed softly beside him. She roared happily, starring off at a cretin spot in the forest.

Kagome slid off her back, starring at where Kirara was starring. "Kirara, what is it?"

Inuyasha stiffened and whirled around. "Kirara, are you smelling what I'm smelling?" [A/N: Yes! I know! Very cheesy line but I had to do it!!]

Kirara roared loudly, her fur sticking up on end.

"What is it?" Kagome asked, feeling very left out.

"It's Miroku, Sango and Shippou, but there's something else there." Inuyasha growled lightly, putting his hand on the hilt of the Tetsusaiga.

As if on cue, a giant boomerang crashed out of the forest, followed by a very big hawk demon. It screech very loudly as it flew back. Inuyasha covered his sensitive ears in pain as the boomerang flew back to it's owner.

"Kagome!! Inuyasha!! Kirara!!" Shippou chirped as he ran over to his friends. "We found you!!"

"Shippo!" Kagome smiled, catching the kitsune in her arms as he pounced into her arms.

The demon started to screech again, but it was cut off by the giant boomerang cutting right threw it and the rest of it's body being pulled into a wind vortex.

Inuyasha rubbed his ears as Miroku and Sango emerged from the forest.

"Kagome! Inuyasha!! Kirara!" Sango cried, waving at them.

Miroku smiled as he and Sango approached the group. Kirara changed into her smaller form and ran over to Sango, nuzzling her master in the cheek.

"Are you guys all right?" Miroku asked, looking more at Inuyasha then any of the others.

"Keh, why wouldn't we?" Inuyasha snorted, crossing his arms.

"Well, you guys were gone a long time and it's snowing." Sango replied, scratching Kirara behind the ear.

Kagome smiled lightly. "We're fine, what about you guys."

"Just worried sick." Sango joked. "Inuyasha, what happened to you?"

Inuyasha huffed, looking away from the others. "Nothing, nothing at all."

Kagome rolled her eyes. "Inuyasha, get over yourself." She turned to the others and started to explain everything that happened. How Kirara got hurt, how Inuyasha was injured by the things called guns, and how they stayed a while in a cave.

Miroku smirked at the part about the cave. He slowly moved over to Inuyasha and nudged him in the side. "So, you and Kagome stayed a while in a cave together, eh?"

Inuyasha blushed. "Shut up monk!" He growled, taking a swipe at Miroku, But of course, Miroku was too fast and he stepped away from him with a smirk.

waterdoragon: Yeah, yeah..... that chapter kinda sucked, but they're back together!! Yay! Now, about this snow.......
