Chapter 2: Left Behind
Kagome jumped into the well and started walking to where InuYasha and Miroku would be waiting for her. Her black hair swayed with the slight breeze that was in the air. They had to look for more Shikon Jewel shards, it was very important that they get them. Personally, she didn't think that InuYasha needed to be a full demon; he was already strong enough. Inuyasha was a half-demon. Partially Dog demon and partially human. Even though Inuyasha didn't need the Jewels they had to prevent Naraku, a prince that was inhabited by evil demons to get the jewel shards. She knew Naraku would become stronger and stronger if he got all the jewel shards so of course she couldn't let that happen. There were only five Shikon Jewel shards left and they were sure to find them. Naraku was one up on the number of shards he had, they had to find these first before he did.
"Kagome, what took you so long to get back here, we've been waiting all day long so that we could look for more jewel shards," InuYasha said with an impatient tone in his voice. He was a very impatient and very rude, she didn't mind much. In fact she liked him though she could never admit it.
"I had school, I cant miss a whole week just because I come here to help you find shards," she was kind of annoyed at his impatient ness. Miroku got up from his sitting position and walked toward InuYasha. Miroku was the monk of the group. For a "Holy Man" he was such a pervert. Girls occupied his thought a little more that they should, even though he did seem to be getting along with ought talking about them much.
"I believe we should start in the village in the north, there are bound to be some shards up in that corner of the wilderness," Miroku chimed in. One of the only reasons that he wanted to go to that particular village was because Sango was there, "Hey, InuYasha!"
"What monk?" The half dog demon questioned with the least bit of excitement in his voice.
"Maybe there will be some girls in the village, you could get hooked up," *maybe then you wouldn't be such a downer all the time* Miroku thought as he picked up his staff and headed off in the direction of the village.
"What's wrong with you InuYasha? You look sick" Kagome asked as she looked at the twitching nose.
"I smell something," He sniffed at the air and shaked his head at the fowl odor that was making its way to his nose.
"What is it?"
"Its sour, like some sort of rum or other alcohol, go with Miroku, I'm going to see what it is"
"All right InuYasha," *be careful* she watched him walk away then ran to catch up with Miroku. As she ran she felt like something was missing but she couldn't place her mind on it. Little did she know that the Shikon Jewel shard that was strung on her neck was back at the bottom of the well. The gateway to InuYasha's world was left open.
