Hello there!! New chapter up!! I am repeating the message that I don't mind
flames, I probably deserve them! Just try to review, please? Oh, and I
might accidentally use Japanese words (besides the names), if I do, just
check the bottom for their meanings!
I don't own Inuyasha! All I have are some GN's...No! Must get more Inu!!
"...Thirty...Ready or not, here I come!!" came Kagome's declaration to finding them all; she, Shippo, Sango, Miroku and Sota had been playing Hide-and-Go- Seek for almost an hour now. They had invited Inuyasha to play, but he said he wouldn't play some "stupid kids game".
Shippo seemed to have an attachment to hiding in bushes, one time he even became one, but then Kagome found out and explained how that was seriously cheating. Miroku began sweating and breathing hard when Kagome neared the tree that he was in. He made to move to another branch, but she threw a rock at his foot, causing him to fall twenty feet. "Sorry, I was just checking for noises." She lied. "Hmph. Well next time you go 'checking for noises', let everyone in a giant tree know so they don't fall on their asses!" he scolded playfully.
"Hey! She found Miroku again!" Sango called; and soon everyone was back in a circle.
"Argh! Why do you always have to find Miroku first?! You should have come lookin' for me! I was hidden really good." Shippo said causing Sota to laugh.
"What's so funny, Sota?" Kagome asked noticing the way Shippo was looking at Sota.
"He...he was...he was hidden in...in my shirt, he thought that would mean..." realizing that his laughter was beginning to kill him (loss of air), he took in a deep breath. "sigh Okay...I'm okay, I'll stop laughing. Anyway, he thought that it meant that you'd find me first, making it impossible for him to go next. What a dope though, it's cool to have to find people! Right, Miroku?" he asked, seeing out of the corner of his eye that Miroku was trying to slip away unnoticed, and failing miserably.
"Huh? Eh...heh...well, I was just going to see if Inuyasha wanted to change his mind." His audible gulp was enough to make Kagome glare.
"Hey, I'll be 'it' this time. I mean, you do always go after Miroku, Kagome." Sota suggested, mostly to make sure that Kagome didn't kill anyone, he'd hate to have her complaining about the blood she got on her shirt.
"Hmm...okay, that sounds good actually, cuz' I gotta get you back for finding me earlier! I challenge you, brother!! If you cannot find me within a half of an hour, you'll help me make dinner!! And...clean the dishes!!! HA HA HA HA!!!!!!!"
"What?! Well, fine, but if I do find you in the time limit...you have to...never have any kids besides Shippo!!"
"What?! I'm not agreeing to THAT!!!"
"Hmm...well then you could...just never get married? How does that sound, you choose what one you want."
"Sota!! Why don't you ant me to be with anyone?! I mean, it's not like...wait, you don't think that I'll end up like...Sota, can we talk alone for a sec.?"
"What? Why?"
"Sota we need to talk." The finality of her tone was unnerving to all those around.
"Sure." Said Sota, as he stood, waiting to leave.
"Let's talk in the woods, K?"
"Uh, yeah." He said with a curt nod.
After they left the group put their heads together, literally. "So, what are we gonna do? Just wait 'til they get back?" Sipppo asked when the others remained silent. "Well, hm...we could have one or two of us follow them, but if Kag found out, she'd be pissed." Sango then suggested. "Feh, I'm goin' to follow 'er alone! It's none of any a yer business what's up with her!" Inuyasha stated indignantly. "Oh, and how is it yours Inuyasha?" Miroku asked with a smirk. "Uh...well, cuz' I told 'er Id protect 'er! And I have to go now to make sure that she's ok. So, bye!" and with those last words, Inuyasha was gone.
Kag & Sota's conversation
"So, why are we out here?"
"You should know that, Sota. So...why do you get the feeling that I'll end up like mom?" she said, trying her best to word everything so he didn't feel like he was being attacked.
"Well, why wouldn't you." He stated, as though it should have been obvious.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, how many guys out there are worth your time? You are definitely the coolest woman in the world! I mean, you actually care about people, but you can totally kick butt! You're smart, inventive, creative and very pretty. What do any guys out there have that you'd need?"
"Well, love, Sota. I can't go through life alone."
"That's a heck of a lot better than ruining your life with some pig-headed jerk! Some guy who won't give you the time of the frickin' day, but can order you around, and even scare you into hiding! Deprive them of a nice childhood just because you can! What kind of a man is that, huh?"
"Sota, it's okay, calm down. Sota...not all men are jerks. I mean, look at you, you're a great guy who likes to look out for the people you love. There aren't many guys like you out there, ya know. Maybe I'll find some guy even you approve of. Is that okay? I can be with him if say that he's okay enough, but you have to be fair, okay?"
"Yeah, okay. But if I find out that you're with some guy and he's a total animal...I mean, you know, a jerk, then you can't be with him and I'll be pissed!"
"Gotcha. I'm good with that. Let's go back...wait, I can sense-
Inu
"Where did Kagome go, I can barely even smell 'er. Man, she better not be in any danger!"
He landed some thirty feet from where Kagome and Sota were, but they had started to move. Inuyasha decided to follow them, but he wasn't doing a great job at hiding himself. 'Hmm, Inuyasha must have already sensed her presence, he seems to be going to the same area.'
"So...you have found me, reincarnation." Came the calm, deadly voice of the undead priestess.
"Hn, yes, I have found you. I was wondering if you and I could have a word alone soon." Sota noticed that Kagome seemed to be ordering Kikyo, and he wasn't the only one.
"What's goin' on here?!" Inuyasha's habit of being the center of attention erupted yet again.
"Inuyasha...your new...friend here was just ordering me to, hm, speak with her. Although she must realize that she is not needed in this world, and she will find that she is not welcome to return to my presence after today, or I will kill her." She stated, speaking more to Kagome than to Inuyasha.
"Well, that's just too bad, Kikyo, because I will live out the rest of my life here if I have business." She said, putting on a false innocent voice.
"We all know that your being here isn't natural, it wasn't supposed to occur." Everyone could see that Kikyo was losing her usual calm.
"Well, if it wasn't supposed to happen, then why did it?" asked Kagome, pretending as if she didn't know what Kiyo would say.
"You know as well as I that such a question could not be answered."
"Really? Because it seems to me that you just answered it yourself by telling me that it wasn't supposed to happen. You must know more than the rest of us if you are able to make such an assumption. So?" Now Kikyo was starting to sweat, she only said those things because they used to be Kagome's weaknesses, but it seems that our beloved heroin has gained some confidence!
Clearing her throat, she began quietly. "You misunderstand my words, reincarnation. I said only that you weren't supposed to be here, not that I understood the oddities of the universe."
"Well, then you must have misunderstood me when I said that the two were one in the same. You see Kikyo, how would you be able to say that I wasn't supposed to be here if I am right now? How are you so powerful as to explain that there is no great plan thought up by the God(s) above us? You do believe in God, don't you Kikyo?" she asked, knowing that if Kikyo tried to skip out of this one she'd look stupider than ever.
There was a long awkward silence; Kikyo was only glaring at Kagome, not daring to speak, Inuyasha's mouth was hanging wide open, Sota was glaring at kikyo, and Kagome had a giant smirk on her face. Crackle Crunch Suddenly, a young girl came into their sights. She was running away from a bear demon. "AHHHHHHHH! HELP!!! PLEASE!!! HEEEELLLLLPPP!!" Kagome and Inuyasha leapt forward to face the demon. He had the stench of old human blood thickly covering him, which caused Inuyasha to get slightly dizzy and sick. "What a great day! Three humans and a half-breed." 'Did he just say three humans? Shit, Kikyo left. This time I actually kinda wanted her around for a little bit. Oh, well, I guess I'll just have to take out my anger on this idiot!' With that last thought, she leapt into the air and disappeared. The demon tried to smell her, but she had gone around him. "Hyaaa!" was the last thing he heard, she was too quick for him to react. Her left arm began to glow jade, her veins were popping out, and her eyes filled wit a blank determination. With lightning speed, she thrust her arm into the center of his back, ripping out his spinal cord. "Ahhhhhhhh!"
"Huh? What's wrong little girl?" Kagome asked as she gently landed.
"Y-you just killed it."
"I know, but he was being very bad. Are you okay"
"Uh-huh. Who are you?"
"I'm Kagome, that's Sota and that is Inuyasha. May I ask your name?"
"Uh...Rin is-I mean, I am Rin. Thank you for saving me."
"Oh, that's okay. Hey, aren't you the girl who travels with Sesshomaru?" realization dawning on her.
"Sesshomaru-sama! He...he left and I got attacked."
"So, do you know where he is?"
"No. He told Jaken-sama to watch me, but he didn't want to."
"What do you mean?"
"Jaken-sama said he didn't like me, and then he left."
"And that's when you were attacked?" Rin nodded vehemently.
"Hmm, you can stay with us if you'd like, until Sesshomaru comes anyway."
"Yay! Really? Can we play games and get flowers? Sesshomaru-sama will want flowers!"
"I know a great place to get flowers! C'mon, follow me."
"Wait just a second! You're gonna let Sesshomaru's brat go around with us?" Inuyasha yelled.
"Well, of course. I mean, it's not like we're actually going anywhere, right Inuyasha?" her stern glare returned as she spoke.
"So what! Sesshomaru will come lookin' fer the girl, then probably try to kill us for my Tetsuiga (sp?)!!"
"No! I'll tell Sesshomaru-sama not to kill you, I'll tell him what you did for me. He'll be very happy!" Just the thought of Sesshomaru being happy made both Kagome and Inuyasha snigger.
"She does have a point, Inuyasha. He would be very pleased with us for protecting Rin. Oh, come on!" she added after seeing the look on his face.
"I think that we should do it! I mean, Kagome could kick this Sessho guys butt anyway, right?"
"Uh...heh, heh...Sota, he could probably kill me in like two seconds."
"Now you're just being modest. I mean, you said that Inuyasha can beat him right." Seeing her nod he continued. "So, if you could crush Inu, why can't you stand a chance against Sessho?"
"Hmm, good point, but remember what I taught you about fighting styles? Sesshomaru could beat me because of his style." 'Not to mention his looks could kill me-WHAT?!! No!! Bad thoughts!! Okay, so he is good looking, but he's even more arrogant than Inuyasha!'
"It looks like she's struggling within herself." Inuyasha commented in a low whisper to Sota.
"Hmm...Oh, hey! What are we still doing here? We should get going! grumble Uh-heh, looks like I'm hungry. I should make some food. How does that sound?"
"Great!" Yay!" "Ramen?"
"No Ramen, but we can have Chicken fried rice. Does that sound good enough, Inu?"
"Hmm, okay, but I want Ramen for lunch tomorrow!"
Okay, sucky endings for my chapters will occur, but the rest is good right? Oh, Sama (the thing that Rin placed on the end of Jaken and Sesshomaru's names) is a respect thing. If someone is your MAJOR superior or you REALLY look up to him or her, you say that at the end of his or her name. Please review and tell me if you think I should continue!! Sess will appear in the next chapter. THIS IS A SESS/KAG FIC!!!
I don't own Inuyasha! All I have are some GN's...No! Must get more Inu!!
