Oi! Another chapter already, Mackenzie? You must be insane!
Yesh, yesh. I'm quite insane. Mwhahahahaha....ahem.
Yup, this is chapter number 6. Nothing much to say really. I think you've already figured out I was an insane little monkey, right? Yea, I thought so.
Disclaimer: I do not own Inuyasha, but the Community Of Anime Actions And Trade (a.k.a. C.O.A.A.A.T.) is going to hold an auction for an actual shard of the Shikon Jewel. (If you actually got your hopes up for that, I pity you.)
ON TO THE STORY.
Inuyasha and Sango were were talking in an angry whisper inside the hut so that night so Shippou couldn't hear them. They fed logs into the fire to keep themselves warm. "You figured the two would be back by now. It's the middle of the night, and it's freezing cold." Sango said, a cover wrapped around her as she held her hands up to the fire. "Inuyasha, I know we're angry at Miroku and Kagome for their actions, but I don't want them to be harmed by the weather."
Inuyasha let out a quick "feh" and put his arms together in his kimono sleeves. The wind blew violently as the snow came down hard. It was a blizzard, but so early in the season that not all of the leaves had fallen. Shippou curled up with Kirara by the fire and fell asleep quickly, not paying attention to Sango or Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha," Sango said in a scolding tone, "their still our friends." She looked down into the fire and sighed. "Even if they did break our hearts."
"Sango, how many times to I have to tell you?! If they were our friends, they wouldn't betray us like that." He growled, slightly.
"You can't call it betraying, because none of us really expressed our feelings as much as they did." Sango trailed off and looked down, clenching the blanket tighter around her body. She missed Miroku, in a sence, but he really wasn't gone that long. She felt very jealous of Kagome and groaned lightly out of frustration, and laid down and quickly fell asleep.
Inuyahsa's ears were flat aginst his head. 'None of us did ever express our feelings, but Kagome and Miroku? They never had anything going on.' His thoughts trailed on and on about it until he finially drifted off into slumber.
The sun finially rose, casting a bright glow across the deep snow-dunes around a hut in the middle of the forest. Hudled together for warmth was Miroku and Kagome in the abandoned hut. They were covered in a small bear-skin blanket, and had all their clothes on, but still froze. Kagome's eyes opened, forgetting where she was for a moment then remebered and sat up. Shivering, she held her half of the bear fur close to her body, trying not to disturb Miroku.
Yawning, the monk opened his eyes, and looked up at Kagome, and sighed. 'She looks miserable out here.'
"Mornin'" Kagome said, quietly, shivering a bit still, but smiled at him.
He chuckled a bit, nervously, "Good Morning, Kagome."
"It stopped snowing, finially." She said, relieved.
"Thank goodness. I don't think it'd ever stop." Miroku sighed and leaned up and straitened out his black Kimono a bit, and rubbed his hands together.
Back in the village, Inuyahsa's ears twiched at the odd silence outside the hut, waking him up. He looked around, Sango was gone, but Kirara and Shippou were still there. He got up silently and walked outside and followed Sango's footprints to the forest. 'She must have went out looking for the two.' He growled softly, rembering what he saw and heard as clear as day.
Sango limped through the snow, tiredly and coldly. She sighed, slightly relieved when she spotted a small patch of smoke rising into the air. 'That better be them.' She ran towards the spot the smoke was coming from, but stopped and got angry at what she found. It was just an old fire that was dying down.
Inuyasha had quickly caught up with Sango. "What are you doing out here by yourself, Sango?" He growled lightly.
"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm looking for Miroku and Kagome!" She sighed and looked around more. Trees, trees, and more trees.
"You're never going to find them like that." He sniffed the air, easily picking up their scent in the clean, dry air, and carried Sango on his back like he did Kagome. They quickly found the hut, and heard Kagome and Miroku talking quietly inside.
Kagome had gotten up and wore a make-shift rabbit skin skirt to keep her legs warmer. "Miroku, I'm still scared about that dream. We both know that could happen. And if it did, we'd have no chance. Espicially now."
Inuyasha and Sango silently listened to the conversation.
"Kagome, it was just a dream, I'm telling you. Inuyasha would never do something as terrible as that." He once again reassured her.
Kagome sighed and looked down, "You didn't see what I did, Miroku. It would have scared you so much." She shook and shivered.
'She had a dream about me?' Inuyasha thought. 'It sounds like a nightmare. Is this is what that's all about? No..it can't be. They must know we're here.' He growled, and Sango shushed him quickly, but Miroku looked back aginst the wall that Sango and Inuyasha were leaning aginst.
"Well, well. It seems like we have company. Too bad we can't open that god-for-saken door." Miroku chuckled.
Inuyasha growled, looking at Sango. Sango mouthed, "It's not my fault." But he just rolled his eyes.
Kagome peeked through the cracks in the logs at Inuyasha and Sango with a slight glare. "Did you two come here just so you could assume more about us?!"
"Kagome, calm down!" Sango said, peering back. "We came looking for you because we didn't know if you guys were okay." Inuyasha grunted at that, and shook his head, but Sango stomped on his foot. "Inuyasha!" she scolded.
Miroku chuckled at them. "If you could get us out of here..the drifts have the door, well..stuck."
"Only if you guys explain what was going on!" Inuyasha snapped at them. Miroku looked at Kagome, questionably and she nodded her head at him.
"Alright. Just get us out of here!" Miroku called back to them.
Inuyasha drew out the tetsuiaga, "You had better stand back." He warned, and they did as told. Inuyasha sliced through the side of the hut easily with the transformed sword, causing it to break down, and he reseathed the tetsuiaga.
They quickly got out of the old hut and headed back towards the village as Kagome tried to explain was was going on as she rode on Inuyasha's back. "I just had a terrible..." She ducked down to miss a branch, "...dream. It startled me so much I needed someone to talk to but...INUYASHA WATCH IT!...I didn't want to walk out of the hut tear stricken.."
Kagome and Miroku explained it better around the fire in Kaede's hut, but they left out one thing, which Sango asked about, "What was your dream about, Kagome?"
She quickly looked down, feeling the lump in her throat again. Inuyasha's eyes gained a curious, but concerned expression on them, as did Sango's. Miroku sighed, looking at Kagome. Sango broke the silence.
"It's okay, Kagome. You don't have to tell us just yet." She sighed. Inuyasha's look of jealousy grew back to his face as he looked at Miroku. Miroku felt small under Inuaysha's jealous glare, but got the message, and shivered. It would be a while before Kagome had the courage to tell the other's the rest of the story. They had left out the part about them kissing the second time, and left most out for the first. But it would still be a hard task.
Well..that was a longer chapter. Sorry to leave it weirdly like that. o.O; I didn't want to make the chapter much longer. I'm sorry. Heh. The next chapter might be better. I can't forsure it though. But.....Who will Kagome choose? Inuyasha? or Miroku?
