Chapter 2
The Hanyou and the Hot Springs
"EWWWWW!" Kagome screeched as a large youkai dumped the contents of its stomach on Inuyasha. They had been fighting a large bear crossed with an ogre. It had been eating people and youkai and when Inuyasha hit it in the stomach, it sort of puked on him.
Frowning in disgust, Inuyasha pointed Tetsusaiga at it. "You've eaten your last human!" He said and swung his sword. "Kaze no Kizu." The ogre bear thingy was cut to shreds.
"Good job Inuyasha." Kagome said. That was their fifth youkai that they had fought. For some reason, they seem to come out more looking for a mitsukai (angel). Kagome sighed. It's always something. "Inuyasha you smell." She said as Inuyasha, walked up to them.
"Hey!" Inuyasha said and sniffed his hoari and passed out. @_@ Sorta like what happened when they sniffed the painter's ink.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome called when he hit the ground.
"There was a strong poison in its stomach." Shippou said and then he too went all swirly eyed. @_@
"It must be harmful to youkai." Miroku said. Examining his friends. "We need to get them to a hot spring."
"There's one not far from here." Sango said as she helped pick Inuyasha up, who groaned.
Lifting Inuyasha on his shoulder, Miroku followed Sango and Kagome, while watching the sway of Sango's hips. Not paying attention to where he was walking, he walked into a low branch knocking him and Inuyasha down. Inuyasha groaned and sat up slowly. He still had that swirly eyes @_@ and fell right back down again.
Miroku sighed and rubbed the bump on his head. "Even the trees are out to get me." He said to himself.
"Houshi-sama?" Sango asked as she and Kagome looked at him in concern and confusion as to why he was on the ground with a huge bump.
"You didn't grope Inuyasha did you?" Kagome asked incredulous. Kirara mewed. Sango gasped.
"No!" Miroku said guiltily. "I don't grope men."
They looked at him suspiciously. "HEY!!!" He said frowning and sweat- dropped. 0_0!
They turned and continue to walk towards the hot spring in silence.
Miroku sighed and got up and followed them, forgetting Inuyasha. Frowning he ran back and picked up Inuyasha and sighed. "This was already starting to be a long morning." The goop off Inuyasha's hoari dripped on him.
Meanwhile not too far away, in another camp a little girl groaned, waking up the person that had been holding her throughout the night for the past week. She had dosed off at the base of a tree with Rin on Ah-Un, sometime that morning after she had went and gave Rin some more medicine.
"Rin." Mai said walking up to her. She had the worst sleep that she had ever had, that night, considering the fact that they were outside in a strange land with strange people, hearing strange night sounds. She felt lumpy.
"Mai-kaasan, I don't feel well." She said with her hand on her stomach.
"I thought you said she would be feeling better." Sesshoumaru said behind her. He had walked up to examine her as well. Plus he had brought them breakfast, which looked like squirrel.
Lily looked at Sesshoumaru and what he had in his hand. Her eyes were big with fear and surprise. She took a step back towards Jaken. Sesshoumaru glanced at her but said nothing. He wanted to smirk but Rin had his utmost attention.
"She is supposed to feel better." She said frowning as she examined Rin. She hadn't paid attention to Lily or to what Sesshoumaru was holding.
"I feel better but my tummy hurts." She said and made a face. #_#
"Uh oh." Mai said and stepped back and bumped into Sesshoumaru. O_o
O_O He didn't move.
Rin leaned over and shook once before everything she had inside her little tummy came out and splashed over Mai, herself, the blanket and the ground around her. Amazing that she missed Ah-Un.
"Ewwww!" Mai said and examined her clothes. "What have you been eating?" She asked, disgusted. She didn't notice the funny look that crossed Sesshoumaru and Jaken's face. Nor did she see when Sesshoumaru tossed their breakfast away and hit Jaken who hid it in a bush. Taj meowed and Lily sighed with relief.
"Sorry Mai-kaasan." She said and smiled brightly. "I feel a lot better now!" She said happily.
"That's okay, we just need to find a lake or hot spring. I'm glad you are feeling better." Mai said and turned towards Sesshoumaru, who looked disgusted. "Is there a lake or preferably a hot springs around here?"
Jaken answered. "There is a hot springs near here."
"Can you show us?" She said and picked her big yellow bag up and grabbed Rin's hand. Lily and Taj jumped on her shoulder.
"Take care of them Jaken." Sesshoumaru said and started walking the other way. He was in a generous mood, since the morning had been amusing to him. Plus, he felt great relief knowing that Rin was better. He decided to go and get them a kimono to wear and the town that Mai was running from was the closest. Besides, he wanted to pay them a visit for not helping Mai and sending her his way, disrupting his peaceful night and forcing him to be in her company, while she cared for Rin, which she was the reason why they had moved to 4 different camp spots, because monsters kept attacking her, which he ended up killing and getting disgusting human hugs when he saved her. Yes, he was in a generous mood.
Mai settled in the springs enjoying its warmth. She began singing a song as she washed Rin's hair with some of her apple smelling shampoo.
"What are you singing?" Rin asked. "Wow this stuff smell good, what is it?"
"This is shampoo, it's for washing hair and helping it to look nice and shiny and bouncy. Lay back now." Mai said as she rinsed the shampoo out of her hair. "I'm singing a song called Whatever You Imagine. I used to sing it when I was a little younger."
"Mai has a beautiful voice." Lily said and started telling Rin a story about Mai singing.
Blessed warmth is what Inuyasha was feeling as he opened his eyes. He was floating in a hot spring. Miroku was lying against a rock with his eyes closed, enjoying the warmth of the water.
"Hey, Miroku." Inuyasha called.
"Yes, Inuyasha?"
"How did I get this bump on my head?"
Gulp. Miroku looked at his back with wide eyes. O_O "Ummm..um.well.I kind of ran into a branch and Kagome thought that I groped you and to prove that I only grope women, I groped Kagome and Sango threw a rock at me and missed, but it hit you instead." He said really fast, but with a really innocent face. He closed his eyes when Inuyasha didn't say anything.
Inuyasha turned to look at him really evilly. ~_~ He picked up a big rock and started walking towards Miroku. "You did what."
Miroku opened his eyes. "Ack!" He dodged the rock as it hit the boulder he was leaning against and knocked it over. Miroku lost his balance and landed back into the hot springs. Inuyasha swam over to him and grabbed him and started chocking him and grumbling. Miroku started pulling on Inuyasha's hair. Neither saw the girls until it was too late.
The girls gasped as they saw Miroku and Inuyasha fighting. Mai covered Rin eye's thinking it was something illicit. Lily, thinking the same thing, hid into Rin so she wouldn't have to see it. They stopped fighting and looked over at Mai.
O_O "."
o_o "."
o_O ".."
Mai screamed!
Kagome, Sesshoumaru, Sango, Kirara and Shippou got there at the same time in order to see Jaken shoot flames at Inuyasha and Miroku but almost got Mai, Rin and Lily in which he got a nice bop on the head from Sesshoumaru.
"Osawri!" Kagome screamed, which caused Inuyasha to fall under the water taking Miroku with him because he was still holding on his neck. While he was in there, Mai, Rin and Lily got out of the water and hid behind some bushes covered in a towel, blushing furiously.
A moment later, Inuyasha jumped up out of the water. "What did you do that for?" He asked angrily as he shook the water off and onto Kirara and Taj, who had been staring at each other, who then turned and growled at Inuyasha, distracting him for a moment as he watched them arch there back at him in an arrogant way and walk away from him in different directions. Sesshoumaru then grabbed him and tossed him into a tree mumbling something about stupid hanyou's, because Inuyasha unfortunately got him the most. He then turned to go check on Rin and Mai who were still trying to dry off and dress themselves in the clothes that he had brought for them.
Mai looked up from getting dressed and screamed. "Pervert!" She said and covered herself. Rin was dressed and dried off as much as she could be and Mai had been in the process of putting her kimono on.
"Can't you dress faster?" He asked grimacing at her loud voice.
"I'm trying, but you perverts keep looking at me." Mai said in her defense, blushing furiously.
"I don't want to see you!" He said as if the idea disgusted him.
"You act as if I'm disgusting."
He turned and walked away from her. "You are."
Mai gasped and was getting ready to say something when Rin tugged her hand. She shook her head in warning, which caused Mai and Lily to frown. Mai sighed and turned to continue to dress as the sound of swords were being clashed in the background. After she was done, she took Rin's hand and walked over to see who else had been there. She frowned when she saw Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha fighting. She was getting ready to call him when someone stopped her.
"Don't worry, this is how they always act." Sango said walking over to her. "Hi, I'm Sango and this here is Kirara." She looked down at Rin. "Hi, Rin, I haven't seen you in a while."
"Hi Sango-chan, is Shippou-chan around?" She asked hopefully.
"Yes, he is over there."
"Come on Lily-sama, let's go see Shippou." She said and dragged the poor squirrel with her.
"Hi, I'm Mai and the squirrel you saw was Lily, my guardian and my friend Taj is around here somewhere." She said looking around. "Well, anyways it's nice to meet you." She said smiling.
"Come on, you have to meet the others." Sango said instantly liking the girl. It had something to do with her aura.
"But, what about Sesshoumaru-sama?" Mai asked looking again at him and Inuyasha fight.
"He will be fine, I'm sure." Sango said and dragged her towards Kagome, who had been watching the fight also.
"Kagome, I want you to me.."
"Kagome?" Mai interrupted immediately recognizing her friend.
"Come on you two.."She turned when she heard a voice that she hadn't heard in years and should not have heard there. "Mai?" She blinked.
"It is you!" Mai squealed with joy. They both actually screamed in delight and ran to hug each other. "Wow it really is you!" Mai said happily.
"Mai, wow, it's so good to see you!"
Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha both had been distracted and jumped into different trees, when Mai and Kagome screamed. They looked at them in horror as they saw them hug and began to chat happily.
"You know her?" Sesshoumaru asked.
"No, I've never seen her before." Inuyasha said. They both jumped down from their trees at the same time. "I wonder how Kagome knows her." Sesshoumaru said nothing as he walked over to them.
Jaken looked on incredulous as the two brothers suddenly stopped fighting and began to have a decent conversation. He shook his head frowning; this could not be good.
"Hey Kagome, who is the wench?" He asked.
"Yes, who is this lovely young lady?" Miroku asked taking her hands in his. "My lovely young lady, would you honor this humble young priest by ...ack!."
Mai gasped as the man, who was on his knees, was being lifted up by his neck and thrown carelessly into a tree by an angry Sesshoumaru. She looked at him in confusion and embarrassment.
Kagome looked wide-eyed at Sesshoumaru as he carelessly tossed Miroku into a tree. His action would seem almost normal if it hadn't been Sesshoumaru. "Ano.this is Inuyasha. Inuyasha this is my best friend Mai." She said regaining her composure.
"Hi Inuyasha." Mai said and smiled brightly at him. She was studying him and walked up close to him. "It can't be? Can it?"
Inuyasha frowned as Mai looked at him strangely. He guessed it was his ears that had fascinated her. "What?" He said looking at her strangely.
"You have puppy ears." She said as she reached up to pet his ears, which caused Sesshoumaru to frown. She didn't notice that Inuyasha's hand was twitching and getting ready to swipe at her, but didn't get the chance when she grabbed him and gave him a big hug. "Kawaii!" She said smiling. "Kagome your friend is so kawaii!"
They started to laugh, except Sesshoumaru. He still looked pokerfaced.
Inuyasha pushed her away in time to see Sesshoumaru give him a really evil eye, which he didn't realize that he was even acting strangely possessive. "I'm not kawaii, take.take that back." Inuyasha ignored his brother and turned to Mai. Kagome was biting her lip trying not to laugh.
"Yes you are kawaii, and I'm not taking it back." Mai said defensively.
"Baka ningen." Jaken said passing them on his way to be with Rin, who he swears up and down he hates.
"Keh!" Inuyasha said and looked at Kagome, Sango and Miroku, who had come back to the group but was far away from Sesshoumaru and Mai as he possibly could be who were laughing at him. "What are you looking at?" He said grumpily.
"Aww is the kawaii, little hanyou angry?" Shippou who had joined in the conversation asked laughing. Sango laughed.
"Why you little." Inuyasha said and lunged after Shippou who dodged, and ran towards Kagome
"Inuyasha!" Kagome called as Shippou jumped on her shoulder.
Behind her Sesshoumaru had his claws ready, knowing that Kagome was going to dodge. But instead was disappointed she didn't, but was still amused.
Inuyasha tried to skid to a stop when he saw the look on Kagome's face. "Osawri!" The words came out, as expected, and he met with the ground. What he hadn't expected was the other voice that said it.
Mai looked at Inuyasha in surprise. "Osawri?" She asked quietly, but the effect was the same. Inuyasha went deeper into the ground. @_@ Mai blinked as everyone gasped. "I'm sorry!" She said and went down to help Inuyasha who was looking dazed.
Inuyasha looked up at Mai, with clouded eyes. All he could see was a golden glowing figure. It kind of reminded him of fire, or the sun. He sniffed. "You smell like the Shikon no Tama." He said quietly. Well that and apple blossoms.
Kagome gasped. Mai looked at him strangely. "What is the Shikon no Tama?" She asked abandoning Inuyasha, who was getting up now.
"It'll be easier if I show you." Kagome said and took the shards out from the bottle under her shirt. They seemed to be glowing. She gasped and took one out of the bottle. "I wonder why they are glowing?" She asked.
Mai looked at the weird glowing jewel shards curiously. "Can I see one?" She asked almost as if in a trance.
Kagome reached her hand out to let Mai hold the shard, but when Mai's hand touched it a bright light consumed both of them and spread outwards covering everything in a 100-yard radius. Everyone gasped and covered their face in the light, but after they blinked a few times the light became bearable and they looked up to see Kagome and Mai floating in the air. The golden light that had been around Mai was now a bright yellow and it covered Kagome and her pink hue. Together they looked like the sun.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha called and jumped up to get her but was knocked away by a barrier and back into the hot springs.
"Mai-kaasan." Rin called.
"Kagome!" Shippou called.
The light began to pulsate as Inuyasha got out of the spring. It slowly began to dim and Mai and Kagome were released from the barrier. They floated down to the ground and both of them past out.
"Mitsukai." Kagome whispered and closed her eyes.
"Lynx." Mai whispered before darkness consumed her as well. Lily gasped when she heard the name Rune and got a strange look on her face, which got the attention of the Taiyoukai.
"Lynx?" Sesshoumaru asked, while looking down at Mai. He hadn't moved to help her; he let the humans do it. "What is Lynx, Lily?"
"I don't know." Lily said quietly. "But that name sounds familiar and the feeling I get from hearing that name is foreboding."
Sesshoumaru frowned again and looked at Mai and Kagome. What did the fates drag him into now? He couldn't leave the girl now that something else had caught his curiosity. He had to find out what was going on with this girl that piqued his curiosity. He had been bored anyways.

The Hanyou and the Hot Springs
"EWWWWW!" Kagome screeched as a large youkai dumped the contents of its stomach on Inuyasha. They had been fighting a large bear crossed with an ogre. It had been eating people and youkai and when Inuyasha hit it in the stomach, it sort of puked on him.
Frowning in disgust, Inuyasha pointed Tetsusaiga at it. "You've eaten your last human!" He said and swung his sword. "Kaze no Kizu." The ogre bear thingy was cut to shreds.

"Hey!" Inuyasha said and sniffed his hoari and passed out. @_@ Sorta like what happened when they sniffed the painter's ink.
"Inuyasha!" Kagome called when he hit the ground.
"There was a strong poison in its stomach." Shippou said and then he too went all swirly eyed. @_@
"It must be harmful to youkai." Miroku said. Examining his friends. "We need to get them to a hot spring."
"There's one not far from here." Sango said as she helped pick Inuyasha up, who groaned.
Lifting Inuyasha on his shoulder, Miroku followed Sango and Kagome, while watching the sway of Sango's hips.

"Houshi-sama?" Sango asked as she and Kagome looked at him in concern and confusion as to why he was on the ground with a huge bump.
"You didn't grope Inuyasha did you?" Kagome asked incredulous. Kirara mewed. Sango gasped.
"No!" Miroku said guiltily. "I don't grope men."
They looked at him suspiciously. "HEY!!!" He said frowning and sweat- dropped. 0_0!
They turned and continue to walk towards the hot spring in silence.

"Kagome your friend is so kawaii!"
They started to laugh, except Sesshoumaru. He still looked pokerfaced.
Inuyasha pushed her away in time to see Sesshoumaru give him a really evil eye, which he didn't realize that he was even acting strangely possessive. "I'm not kawaii, take.take that back." Inuyasha ignored his brother and turned to Mai. Kagome was biting her lip trying not to laugh.

"It'll be easier if I show you." Kagome said and took the shards out from the bottle under her shirt. They seemed to be glowing. She gasped and took one out of the bottle. "I wonder why they are glowing?" She asked.
Mai looked at the weird glowing jewel shards curiously. "Can I see one?" She asked almost as if in a trance.
Kagome reached her hand out to let Mai hold the shard, but when Mai's hand touched it a bright light consumed both of them and spread outwards covering everything in a 100-yard radius. Everyone gasped and covered their face in the light, but after they blinked a few times the light became bearable and they looked up to see Kagome and Mai floating in the air. The golden light that had been around Mai was now a bright yellow and it covered Kagome and her pink hue. Together they looked like the sun.
"Kagome!" Inuyasha called and jumped up to get her but was knocked away by a barrier and back into the hot springs.
"Mai-kaasan." Rin called.
"Kagome!" Shippou called.
The light began to pulsate as Inuyasha got out of the spring. It slowly began to dim and Mai and Kagome were released from the barrier. They floated down to the ground and both of them past out.
"Mitsukai." Kagome whispered and closed her eyes.
"Lynx." Mai whispered before darkness consumed her as well. Lily gasped when she heard the name Rune and got a strange look on her face, which got the attention of the Taiyoukai.
"Lynx?" Sesshoumaru asked, while looking down at Mai. He hadn't moved to help her; he let the humans do it. "What is Lynx, Lily?"
"I don't know." Lily said quietly. "But that name sounds familiar and the feeling I get from hearing that name is foreboding."
Sesshoumaru frowned again and looked at Mai and Kagome. What did the fates drag him into now? He couldn't leave the girl now that something else had caught his curiosity. He had to find out what was going on with this girl that piqued his curiosity. He had been bored anyways.
