Chapter 5: Introductions, sort of
"Dammit, Kagome! Don't leave for so long!"
"Sit!" Kagome was completely infuriated with the bothersome hanyou, always coming back to her time to "pick her up", often quite literally. "And I was only gone three days, in case you weren't keeping track! So don't come until I really need you to! I'm sure Shippo told you exactly how long I was going to be here, right?" It was flattering, sure, that he got worried about her, but still! It only went so far.
Inuyasha truly didn't care about the miniature fox youkai, with the exception that it was a way to take out his stress when Kagome was in her time, or just in general. Just in general was usually followed by a "Sit!", so he didn't do it quite as often as he might have.
"Msl mr myr cmryn mmar nrym mr mntr?"
"What?" The miko couldn't understand him, he had his face plunged half a foot deep into the mud outside the shrine. "Get up. I can't understand a word you're saying!"
He looked up at her, grimacing as he spat out the wet mud in his mouth. "I said, Are you coming back with me or not?"
She glared at him. "No. Sit."
He cringed, knowing what pain he would be experiencing moments before his face plunged into the ground. Dammit, he thought.
The doorbell rang inside Kagome's house. "You can come inside, Inuyasha, but only if you behave," she said sternly. He followed sullenly, spitting out clumps of dirt as he went along. Thinking he smelled something strange, not human, but not demon either, the hanyou kept his ears open.
The miko opened the front door. "Botan!" she exclaimed in surprise. "I thought you were going back to Spirit World. Why are you here?"
The blue-haired girl smiled happily. Definitely cat-like, thought Inuyasha. Too cat-like for my likings.
"So you're the famous Inuyasha. I thought you lived in the feudal ages, but then again, sometimes even the best of resources can be wrong, isn't that right?" she said quickly. "I've heard much of you from Kagome here, but never thought I'd actually see you. Hmm, something must have gone wrong with the time portal. Never know what those things are going to do..."
Both miko and hanyou looked completely confused, and Kagome had known that the Reaper could sometimes go off on a wacky streak. She poked her on the shoulder questioningly.
"What are you doing here from Spirit World, Botan?" Kagome repeated. "You just got back, right? Because you're still wearing your kimono."
"Oh, well, then," she said, flicking her blue hair back and forth. "I was just up to see Koenma-sama. Nothing to worry about. Now, if you both will come with me..."
Her oar appeared suddenly in her hands. She hopped on, grabbing Kagome's wrist in an iron-like grip. The miko in turn grabbed Inuyasha's hand as she hopped on behind Botan. The hanyou yelled to put him back on the ground, as they flew up into the clouds.
Don't forget to R 'n' R!
