The Demon Known as Kagome
Chapter 12
--- ------ ----- ----- Last Time ----- -------- --------- They spent the rest of the night in each others company and fell asleep just out of the waters edge, with their tails wrapped around them. They were both sleeping soundly. ------- ------------ ------------- ----------
Kagome was the first to wake. She woke to the sound of a bird singing nearby in a tree. She blinked open her eyes and the first thing she saw was white hair. She moved it aside and saw Inu Yasha's face. She touched his face and he opened his eyes immediately and grabbed her wrist, only to relax and release his hold.
Inu Yasha fell back asleep and Kagome slowly moved away from him unwrapping her tail. She got up, shivered a moment, and reached for her clothes. She put them on and moved to her pack. She opened it and found exactly two packs of ramen for breakfast. Kagome started a fire and cooked breakfast.
At the smell of the ramen cooking Inu Yasha awoke. He got up and got dressed silently. Kagome was watching the ramen and listening to the birds. She didn't hear him move behind her. Inu Yasha reached his hands around her waist and kissed her neck.
At being touched, unknowingly, Kagome jumped a little when he placed his arms around her waist. She nuzzled into his kiss and turned to him. She kissed him and gave him a bowl of ramen.
"It's nothing special," she said with a sigh.
"It's fine for me," Inu Yasha confessed with a smile.
"I'm glad. cause that's all we have," Kagome said as she turned to get her own bowl. She served herself some ramen and turned and sat next to Inu Yasha. They ate in almost total silence, listening to the sounds of the woods.
When they were done Kagome packed everything up and went to place the pack on her back, but instead Inu Yasha took it. He smiled and she smiled back at his simple gesture. Inu Yasha picked her up bridal style and took off towards the village. They got there in a shorter amount of time than Kagome thought.
'I guess we were closer than I had thought,' she said to herself.
Inu Yasha went to Kiade's hut and went inside with Kagome still in his arms. Once inside he set her down and took off the pack.
"Ok. now. where are those bandages that Kiade uses," she said more or less to herself, rather than Inu Yasha.
"Aren't they over there Kagome?" Inu Yasha insisted. Sure enough they were exactly were Inu Yasha had pointed out. They went into the village and got some food and other supplies. Kagome even went back to her own time to get some more ramen. She took longer than she said she would be and Inu Yasha was getting restless and worried.
She came back fifteen minutes later than how long she said it would take. When she jumped out of the well, Inu Yasha looked at her and raised an eyebrow.
"Sorry. I had to give a quick explanation to my mom, Sota and grandpa," Kagome said, while packing the other things into their bag. Her pack was almost double in size of what it normally was, since they had more people to look after now. Inu Yasha continued to look at her.
"O don't worry. I didn't tell them everything," Kagome said waving her hand, she had emphasized everything a bit. Inu Yasha looked relieved and smiled.
"You ready to go?" he asked.
"Yup," Kagome responded and again Inu Yasha took the bag from Kagome and picked her up to carry her back.
"You know Inu Yasha. I do have legs of my own," Kagome said as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"I know. but a kimono and sandals are nothing to run in.plus. never mind," Inu Yasha said and he looked down to her and smiled. Kagome looked at him. He looked forwards and started to run back to the others.
Kagome watched as they sped by, the trees nothing but a blur of green and brown. Kagome also saw a white blur in the sky that was not a cloud. She puzzled a minute, but decided to let it go.
When they were within five minutes of the others Inu Yasha slowed down and eventually stopped. He figured it would be better if they walk in.
"Inu Yasha? Why did you stop?" Kagome asked.
"It would be better to walk in instead of barging in," Inu Yasha said as he set her down. He looked at her and she wobbled for a second. He grabbed he arm and raised an eyebrow.
"Guess I'm a little dizzy from the run," Kagome confessed. Inu Yasha released her arm slowly, making sure she could stand. Kagome smiled and told Inu Yasha to wait here and that she would go get Miroku or Sango. Inu Yasha complied and moved to the other side of the little clearing and leaned against the tree.
Kagome walked towards where she heard the others. She heard Shippo say something to Miroku and she moved closer. She stumbled over a branch in the process and made more noise than what she had wanted to. Shippo heard her moving and jumped up and growled.
Kagome moved into the open, but nobody recognized her since she had her new kimono on. Shippo growled again and moved in front of Heisei and Rin. Miroku, Kiade, Kilala and Sango also stood, but Sango didn't ready herself for battle, nor did Kiade. Shippo brought both his hands together and his hands were instantly surrounded by blue flames.
Kagome took a step forwards and Shippo's blue flames got bigger. He growled again.
"Shippo.," Kagome said in a soft voice.
"Ka. Kagome?" Shippo asked, "Where's Inu Yasha? What happened to your other clothes?" The flames that where around his hands were instantly gone and he was moving towards Kagome along with Miroku and Sango. When all three of them where in front of her Shippo said, "Kagome! You smell almost completely like Inu Yasha!" Kagome nearly fell over. Miroku and Sango looked her over and both agreed with Shippo. Then they looked at each other with a giggle from Sango and a sly smirk from Miroku.
"Someone can come with me," Kagome said slowly, "It would be best if Miroku and Sango came with me this time. Sorry Shippo."
"That's ok Kagome. Someone has to stay here and protect the others for you," Shippo said with a smile and a side glance to Heisei.
"Good. Than you can stay here and Sango and Miroku can come me," and she motioned for them to follow her. Sango and Miroku followed Kagome to the clearing where Inu Yasha was waiting.
Miroku stepped on the branch this time. Inu Yasha looked their way immediately and was growling. Kagome stepped out and the growling instantly stopped. Inu Yasha smiled and walked over to Kagome. Sango and Miroku came out through the brush and trees.
"Kagome? Who is this? Where is Inu Yasha?" Miroku asked. Kagome giggled to herself. Neither of them recognized him. Sango growled slightly and Miroku looked from Kagome to the other person.
"You mean you don't recognize him?" Kagome asked, trying to stifle a laugh. Sango and Miroku both looked at him and they both smelled for his scent. They just about fell over when they figured it out.
"Inu Yasha? Is that really you?" Sango asked.
"In the flesh," Inu Yasha answered.
"Kagome. you do realize that you smell mostly like Inu Yasha right?" Sango asked. Kagome looked to Inu Yasha and he smiled. She blushed and looked at the ground. Miroku gave another smirk.
"Well, I suppose we should go back to the others," Miroku commented. Sango agreed and they all set back to the others. Not a moment after they all stepped out into the clearing, Sesshomaru arrived. No one saw him. He came up behind Kagome and grabbed her neck and kicked, unknowingly to him, Inu Yasha away from them both. "Where is Rin? You said you were going to watch her!" he said from behind her. 'She smells almost exactly the same as Inu Yasha!.speaking of which. where is he?' Sesshomaru thought. Sango and Miroku both jumped. Sesshomaru had really startled them. They weren't expecting for him show up already. "Sesshomaru.," Kagome tried to talk. He wrapped her tail around his arm trying to give herself more leverage. "Sesshomaru! Let her go!" yelled Inu Yasha, after getting up from the ground. "Sesshomaru. Rin. is. right.," Kagome kept trying to explain, but to no luck. She looked to Shippo and he nodded. He turned to Rin grabbed her wrist and lightly pulled her towards Sesshomaru. "Does she look familiar to you?" Shippo asked him, "She should." Rin kept her gaze on Sesshomaru. Kagome had unwrapped her tail and was lying limp she was almost unconscious. Sesshomaru looked the girl up and down, but she did not look familiar to him. Shippo whispered to Rin and she agreed. Shippo pushed Rin to Sesshomaru, forcing him to let go of Kagome and grab Rin instead. Inu Yasha had Kagome in a flash and a good distance away from his brother. Rin looked into Sesshomaru's eyes and Sesshomaru looked back into hers. Then he caught her scent in his nose. "Rin?" he asked in amazement. Rin smiled sweetly and gave him one of her old looks. ------ ------------ ---------------- ------------
