Disclaimer: I OWN DRUNKENMONKEY! Well not really. I just really like their song 'E'. I own nothing, not the song, or the Inuyasha-Gumi. But the plot is mine. ALL MINE!
Chapter 12: The faceless snake
" Watashi wa((, Rin." The young girl bowed and grinned up at the miko, who smiled in return.
"Watashi wa, Kagome." She answered, cocking her head in curiosity, as the girl's eyes seemed to analyze her.
" Hai?"
" Miko…"
Kagome nodded, " Yes. I am a miko." She blinked in confusion as a wide smile lit up Rin's face.
" Me too!" The young girl grinned and jumped up, her fist raised high in the air in triumph.
" You are?" Kagome blinked in surprise as Sango, Miroku, and Inuyasha nodded. Sesshomaru was strangely absent.
" Hai! What, you didn't know there were miko's in this time?"
" No…I very well know there are some…" A flash of sadness fell across Kagome's face, making Rin's eyes prick in curiosity, but she decided to let it slide.
" Would you help me? I mean, I can control my powers, but I still need to smooth the edges a bit. So what do you say?"
Kagome smiled and did a mock bow.
" It'd be my honor."
Rin giggled and playfully bowed in return. " My room should be across the hall and two doors down from yours. I'll meet you there okay?"
Kagome nodded and departed.
Rin's eyes suddenly turned serious as she turned.
" Is that her?"
" Hai, Rin-San, that is Kagome-sama, the legendary keeper of the Shikon no Tama." Miroku answered, nodding gravely.
" I see…no demons have attacked here yet have they?"
" Depends on what you call a demon…" Sango muttered, snapping her mouth shut at Inuyasha's cold look before giving him a withering glare of her own.
Unfortunately for them, Rin knew them all too well. Her eyes scanned them suspiciously before sighing and smiling.
" It's good to see you guys though!" She ran up and embraced both Miroku and Sango, but not before giving Miroku a scolding look before hand.
" I don't want to lose my job." Miroku agreed, smiling impishly as Rin hugged him. The two smiled and left the room.
Inuyasha turned to follow when a none too gentle tug on his hair made him turn around. To a very worried Rin.
" Where is your ring?" She whispered, her eyes flickering to his naked ring finger.
After Inuyasha managed to explain everything, Rin sighed. Now realizing what Sango meant by her comment earlier. So that's why, Kikyo had been consumed by her emotions and had used it against Kagome. To kill her, for something she never meant to happen in the first place. And it wasn't like she could blame Inuyasha either, he didn't know that answering her challenge would cause such a thing. But one thing continued to bother her.
" Why would you lick Kagome anyway? Why didn't you just get a Band-Aid?"
Inuyasha's mouth open and closed as a fish's would, but no sound managed to come out. He himself had been trying to answer that very question. Why the hell did he? He knew it was a minor injury, but why did such a strange bout of guilt and need to protect her wash over him at that moment? Doing any sort of intimate touching with Kagome would mean being unfaithful to himself. But most of all, unfaithful to…
'Kikyo' He thought his dog-ears drooping slightly. Since when did his life become this complicated? He didn't need this shit, these petty emotions getting in the way of finding the jewel. But ever since, Sango had inadvertently 'awoken' Kagome, his life had been turned upside down and nearly everything that could go wrong did go wrong. And he did what exactly to deserve all this again? Nothing. Freaking nothing. FEH!
Rin bit her lip to mask her amusement as her uncle's confused face returned to his copyrighted scowl. Good to know he wasn't losing any sleep over it. Rin snorted catching Inuyasha's attention.
" What?"
"Nothing, Inu-oni-chan(!" She cried out, giving him a hug before flouncing off down the hall and up the winding staircase to her floor.
Inuyasha rolled his eyes.
Kagome and Rin were sitting on a stone bench underneath one of the many trees in the vast orchard behind Sesshomaru's house. Well, Kagome was sitting; Rin had scrambled up the gnarled trunk of a tree and was pulling down some oranges from its branches. Kagome straightened as she felt something fly at her from the left side, her eyes flashed pink for a moment as she continued to stare straight ahead, making the attack suddenly make a loud POP!
And orange colored pulp and juice splattered all over the left side of her priestess blouse and in her raven hair. Kagome made a disgusted sound and warily pulled a strand of her citrus covered hair in her line of sight and cringed. It was dripping with orange juice and the pulp dripped like thick slime from her hair.
"Ew…" Rin wrinkled her nose as she brushed off the pulp from her face and bangs. And unsuccessfully wiped her palms over the front of her hakama pants and blouse. But she shrugged in defeat and smiled, licking the remaining flavor from around her mouth.
" You could be a magical juice maker!" Rin cried, squeezing the juice from her hair and cringing slightly as it made a tiny stream into the dirt.
Kagome smiled, then cocked her head as the young teenage girl spun around and fled out of sight.
When suddenly a wave of cold water washed her over from behind. With a cry Kagome spun about, her eyes pink once more as she created a shield about herself, making the second onslaught of water reflect back to her attacker.
She blinked again as a giggling sopping wet Rin shook her head, making tiny droplets fly about her and hit Kagome's face. And in her hands was a strange green snake, with no facial features and an endless stream of water was pouring from its gaping mouth. Its body seem to extend endlessly into the distance, and Kagome cocked her head curiously at the strange reptile.
" Why does that faceless snake give you water?"
Rin blinked in confusion, then smiled in realization as the feudal miko gestured to the 'snake'.
"That's not a snake silly! That's a hose! It connects to this lake somewhere on the outskirts of town by a small nozzle outside our house." Rin answered, hoping her explanation was simple enough for Kagome to understand.
" Sugoi…We had to fill up buckets from the stream nearby. And you just have it come to your house?"
" Yup!"
"Wow…"
And suddenly, the two were having a water fight with their miko powers.
Luna: Short I know, but I just wanted this to be a slightly light mood of a chapter.
Veron: That's new for you.
Luna: I know
