Families CAN Be Replaceable
LiL:.CaT:.AnImE- Have Inuyasha find Kyo's parents. I shudder to think of what he'd do. What if he attack the siblings?! O.O Well, I'll think about it.
"Ye'll be the end of Inuyasha." Kaede told me as I walked back into the hut. "What did you do to him?" Miroku asked. "I had him take a bath." I replied. "What did Inuyasha do to you?" Sango asked. "Told me I was ugly." I answered.
"You're not ugly!" Miroku insisted, "You're so lovely I just have to ask you. Will you bear my child?" I sighed. "Sango, would you open the door?" I asked. "Gladly." she replied, knowing what I was about to do. With the door open, I walked up to Miroku, who was now standing up. I stared at him, waiting for him to make another stupid remark.
"Is that a yes?" Miroku asked. I kicked him. Hard. Very hard. This time he went flying out the door. I was amused to see the next scene. Inuyasha, who was dripping wet and looking extremely irked, was making his way back to the hut. The flying monk hit the half demon and the two went sprawling to the ground.
"I didn't know Sango was strong enough to kick your ass out the door." Inuyasha's voice commented from under the monk. "She might be." Miroku admitted, "But I don't know. Kyo kicked me out the door and what a sweet kick it was."
"If you liked it so much, Do you want me to kick you again?!" I yelled from the doorway. He jumped up off of Inuyasha. "No ma'am!" the monk said quickly. Inuyasha got up.
"Hey Inuyasha!" Kagome said coming around from the back of the hut. She had missed the whole ordeal, "There's a shard coming close. I sensed it this morning. "Then what are we waiting for?" Inuyasha asked instantly forgetting he was upset with just about everyone, "Let's go!"
In a few minutes we were all ready to go. This included me. "Do you really have to go with us?" Kagome asked. I nodded. "Are you sure you want to go?" she asked trying another approach. I nodded again.
"You realize it's dangerous." Kagome pointed out. "I know." I told her, "I was at the last fight, remember?" "What if I told you couldn't go?" she questioned. "I'd say you couldn't stop me." I replied. "Alright." Kagome said, "You can go with us." I cheered.
"But before you do can you can you fill this basket up with mint?" she asked holding up a basket, "I'm making something special for dinner and I need it." I looked at the basket. It wouldn't take much time to fill it. "Okay." I said. I took the basket, "I'll be back as soon as I can!" With that I ran off.
The mint patch was a few minutes into the forest. I wondered why Kaede didn't just have an herb garden. It would make everything a whole lot easier. I began to pick the leaves.
When I was half finished filling the basket, an idea popped into my head. "Mikoto?" I called, remembering what the demon had said about watching me. He walked out from behind a tree. "Yes?" Mikoto asked.
"I thought you'd be around." I said satisfied, "Would you help me pick this mint please? I've got to fill this basket." He looked at the mint for a second, silent. "If it makes you happy." he said sighing. Mikoto kneeled down and began to help me pick the mint.
"As a lord's son, don't you have anything better to do besides watch me?" I asked. "As long as my father is alive I have no duties and can do whatever I like." he replied, "You want to go with your friends, right?" "Yes." I said, "Why do you ask?" "I suggest you forget the mint and head towards that hut you're staying at." he said putting the last bit of mint the basket could hold in it, "You don't want them to leave without you."
I stood up. "Thanks for helping." I said. "You're welcome." Mikoto replied. With that I began to run towards Kaede's hut.
When I arrived back at the hut no one was in site. Guessing they were waiting inside, I walked into the hut. Kaede was the only one in there. "Did ye get the mint child?" she asked. "Yes." I replied, "Where are the rest of the group?" "They left while ye were picking mint." Kaede replied, "They thought ye would be safer and happier if ye stayed with me."
I tightened my grip on the basket. My claws cut my hands. "I will go with them." I said through clenched teeth. "Do what ye must." The old woman said sighing, "I can't and won't stop ye." I smiled at Kaede. "Thanks." I picked up my bag, shoved the mint inside, slung the bag on my back, and took off.
The trail that the others had used was easy to find with my sense of smell. I didn't even bother to run. I'd catch up with them too quickly and I didn't want them to easily bring me back. From the intensity of their smell I guessed they were only around ten minutes in front of me. Not far.
Inuyasha and the others walked all day and so did I, only a few minutes behind. If the wind was blowing at my back, I would stop and rest behind a shrub. I took no chances that my scent might be blown towards the half demon.
We stopped around what had to be 7 o'clock at night. Even for me, a half demon, that had been a long and tiring walk. With my newly acquired exhaustion, plus my long term annoyance, I was not a happy camper.
I watched from the bushes as Kagome started to prepare the dinner. The others were sitting around the campfire. The time was perfect. Walking into the clearing I said this, "I think you forgot your mint, Kagome." They stared at me for a moment in silence.
Inuyasha was the first one to speak. Of course it wasn't pretty. "What the hell?!" he yelled, "Why the heck is the damn cat here?!?! And how the hell did she get here anyways?!" "I thought it would be obvious to you." I said, "I followed your scent trail." He cursed again.
Turning to Kagome, I put an unhappy face on. "You said I could go with you." I whined. "You have no need to risk your life while finding the jewel shards." She told me, "We care about you and we don't want you getting hurt." "Well I'm staying here, thank you very much." I said sitting down and crossing my arms.
"Inuyasha, would you please bring Kyo back to Kaede's?" Kagome asked, "You're both half demons. It shouldn't take you much time to drop her off." Two strong arms gripped mine, and hoisted me over his shoulder. Stupidly, Inuyasha completely let go of me for a second. I jumped back down to the ground. His second attempt was awarded by a few nice deep scratches on his hands.
"That's it!" Inuyasha yelled at Kagome, "I refuse to spend the night toting some little kid around who scratches!" "And I refuse to spend the night being toted around like some little kid by a flea bag!" I told her.
"Fine." Kagome said sighing, "Kyo can stay with us again. This time no catching arrows." "Why not?" I asked, "I saved your life." She didn't answer, but turned back to making dinner.
Suddenly Shippo began to laugh. "The great and powerful Inuyasha brought low by Kyo!" he laughed. Everyone besides Inuyasha laughed. This included me. "Shut up damn it!" he yelled. "That's not completely true." Sango said, "Kagome does the same thing.
Inuyasha: That whole chapter stunk!
Kagome: Be nice.
Inuyasha: Why should I, wench?
Clear Waters: He's right. That wasn't my best, but I liked the beginning! You know, when Miroku has a flying lesson.
Miroku: That hurt.
Shippo: I thought you thought it was a 'sweet' kick.
Miroku: ...
Kagome: I thought that part was funny too. Miroku brought Inuyasha down like a bowling ball hitting a bowling pin.
Miroku: What's a bowling ball? What's a bowling pin.
Kagome: They're things you need for a game in my time.
Inuyasha: It must be a pretty stupid game.
Shippo: No that we're home from the shore can we go with you to visit relatives?
Clear Waters: How many times do I have to say this? No.
Shippo: I want to learn how to play that game you call, golf. You said they play it alot there.
Clear Waters: You're too little.
Miroku: Are there pretty girls where you're going.
Clear Waters: Just to destroy your interest, no.
Miroku: They why go? There can't be anything interesting going on if there aren't pretty girls.
Inuyasha: You're weird.
Sango: He's not weird, he's just a pervert.
Inuyasha: Yeah, that too. Hey Kagome. I'm hungry. Do you have any ramen?
Kagome: Sorry. I don't.
Inuyasha: What's wrong with you, woman?! Why don't you have any ramen?!
Kagome: Because NORMAL people don't carry ramen around with them! That's why!
Inuyasha: Then NORMAL people are freaks.
Kagome: Sit.
Clear Waters: {Eyes new hole} It's good to be home.
Inuyasha: {From hole} Hey Clear Waters! Do you have ramen?
Kagome: Sit!
Shippo: Wow! That hole has a hole at the bottom of the hole!
Sango: What?
Miroku: It's a double hole.
Sango: Oh.
Miroku: And it's all over ramen. Typical.
Inuyasha: {From double hole} Ramen's worth getting holes in floors!
Kagome: SIT!
Inuyasha: Oi! What's with you, wench?
Shippo: Now there's a hole, in the hole, in the hole.
Sango: Triple hole?
Miroku: Yup. And once again, over ramen.
Clear Waters: Well R&R, while I get Kagome and Inuyasha to pay to fix the hole in the hole in the hole.
