(Sorry guys!! I haven't updated lately!! I'm really sorry! Well, this
chapter should be sort of a shock/funny part of the story. There haven't
been any real updates lately other then that!)
Chapter 4: Falling For Who?!
The sun was starting to rise and a beautiful red and pink mixture settled in over the horizon. Inuyasha was the first to rise as always. He jumped down from the tree he had slept in and stared at Kaori, 'She looks so familiar. She can't be, she's too old. Kagome only died 3 years ago. This girl is probably 15... But everything about her looks so much like Kagome. Even her fragrance is almost alike.'
"Interested in her aren't you?" Shippo had walked up to Inuyasha and said that while Inuyasha was staring. Inuyasha blushed and hit Shippo making him hit a tree. Miroku walked up to Inuyasha and leaned down using his staff for support.
"She is beautiful. She reminds me of Kagome a little. If you don't want I'll gladly take her." Miroku said in his usual perverted way.
"Look, I swore to myself and everyone that I wouldn't love another living thing. I can't even trust anyone. I refuse to get close to her." Inuyasha got up and started walking towards the springs. Miroku made sure no one was looking and lightly brushed Kaori's cheek with his hand. She then slowly opened her eyes. She jumped and pushed against the tree she was leaning on wide-eyed.
"Why are you here!!! I told you to leave me alone!!!" She kicked Miroku backwards, jumped up and started climbing into the tree. She sat up and swung her leg over the side of the limb. She relaxed her head and started thinking.
'Wow, that guy down there is pretty cute, even if he is perverted. I hope Sango hasn't already taken him. Maybe I should just stop with the kicking and stuff.' She again dazed off. About an hour later Inuyasha came back.
"Well, well, well, why did you stay at the springs so long? Not trying to look good for that girl are you?" Miroku taunted Inuyasha.
"No! I just thought I needed a longer bath today. It's feels good out there. It's really warm this morning." Inuyasha tried to bring Miroku off the subject.
"Sure." Miroku gave Inuyasha the eyebrows.
Back up in the tree, Kaori was sound asleep. She then started moving around and broke out in a cold sweat. Sango had been underneath her doing some laundry when she felt a bead of sweat hit her arm. She looked up in the tree and saw Kaori moving and somehow keeping her balance as she tossed and turned. Sango climbed the tree and slightly shook her awake.
"Kaori, wake up, what's wrong?" Sango whispered in her ear. Kaori opened her eyes quickly then sighed in relief that it was only Sango.
"It's nothing really, I was just dreaming of what had happened three years ago..." Kaori sat up straight and stared off into the distance in deep thought. Inuyasha had heard what she said and was also thinking. Miroku was just staring at everyone because they all were so silent.
"Ok, did I miss something? Why is everyone so quiet?" Miroku pleaded. There was a long silence.
"Nothing's wrong." Kaori said as she jumped down from the tree landing on her feet. She walked over to Inuyasha, "When are you people taking me home? You said you would last ni..." She stared at Inuyasha's ears not remembering that there were demons in this time. She fell over backwards and gave Inuyasha a freaky look. "Wh...Why do you have dog ears?!?!?!?!" She screamed.
"Hmph, you didn't notice before." Inuyasha said in his usual stubborn tone.
"What's going on?!" Shippo yelled while running up to Kaori. Kaori then looked down and remembered that demons existed in this time.
"Oops.. I forgot about you guys being... uh... demons..." She rubbed the back of her head, got up and just walked over to Miroku. "Tell me." Miroku looked at her funny.
"Tell you what?" He was confused.
"Why do you people want this?" She pulled the jewel shard out of her pocket.
"Oh, that... Well, you see, that is a sacred jewel shard. Inuyasha has about ½ of the whole jewel now but it is harder to find now since Ka... Someone passed away that could sense the shards and now we have to just find them on our own." Miroku explained.
"Well, why do you want the jewel?" Kaori asked.
"Inuyasha has wished to become a full fledged demon for sometime now but he can only do this with the full Shikon jewel."
"So, you mean Inuyasha isn't a full demon? What other half is he? And who is the one that could spot the shards?"
"Inuyasha is half demon half human. Everyone despises half bloods because of their impurity with the other creature's blood. Kagome was the name of the young girl that could sense the shards. She looked a lot like you but you are much better looking then her." Miroku's hand shot out. Kaori moved over a bit so he missed.
"Ok thanks. That's what I wanted to know. By the way, your cute but you need to work on your charm. Girl's would fall head over heals for you if you did. But you already have one." Kaori smiled and Miroku blushed. Kaori put the shard back in her pocket and walked back over to Shippo. She leaned down and looked at him.
"Why am I so interesting? Is something wrong with my face?" Shippo started rubbing his face insanely.
"You're a demon, that's interesting. But nothings wrong with your face." Kaori giggled.
"Oh, but why haven't you heard of demons until now?" Shippo asked.
"I don't know... I really don't know." Kaori stated while looking at the ground.
"Hey we can't sit around all day! Come on let's go find the shards!!" Inuyasha walked away and Sango, Miroku and Shippo all followed. "Well are you coming?" He Inuyasha looked back at Kaori. She got up and ran after them.
What will the gang face next? Will Kaori ever tell anyone that she came threw the well? Will Kaori ever get home? Will Miroku and Kaori end up together or will Kaori find another guy? Find out in the next chapter!!
(Well, hope you like this chapter... It's mostly about finding things out. But still. I probably won't update as often because school is starting. Sigh I'll update as soon as possible though!!)
