I Hate You/I Love You: blinkblink Hahahaha! I get your name.....
E/N: I can't believe I'm doing this! I spend so much time neglecting my own fanfiction... and yet the only person who flamed me (yet) is froggy-chan. You owe me, froggy... I still haven't finished the Odessy for school, but I'm doing this for you...
-ahem-
Enjoy the chapter everyone! Please don't flame me for being negligent with my own stories... feel free to flame froggy if I missed correcting any misspellings of 'Hiraikotsu', 'Osuwari', or 'Tetsusaiga'.
And remember... Naraku comes first! XD -avoids wide-eyed glares and blinks- never mind...
Disclamier: As always I don't own InuYasha.....but I do own Tenshi, Ookami, and Yukiko!!!!
I bent down and urged Kirara to slow down a little bit, InuYasha was running much slower then usual today, because he had to carry twice the normal weight. It was a tricky thing, getting everyone on the move. After I said that I was going back to my village Kagome piped right up and said, "Oh! I'm so happy for you Sango! Of course we'll come, right InuYasha-kun?"
The always articulate InuYasha responded, "Feh!"
Oddly, Miroku seemed the most excited about coming. "Of course we'll come! Sango-chan can not be left alone with, er, I mean, she needs our support. We must come." I gave him my most withering look. I have wonderful friends.
So now we had the problem of transportation, it was decided that Ookami and I would ride Kirara, with Shippou in Ookami's lap. InuYasha would carry Miroku and Kagome on his back. Miroku kept insisting that he had to be on Kirara with me, but when I asked him why, he looked uncomfortable. So now we had been traveling for the most part of a day, with only one short stop for lunch. Ookami was fascinated with ramen, he ate two helpings.
When InuYasha caught up a bit I called, "We should make camp here; we are almost to our village."
"Why don't we just continue and sleep in the village tonight?"
"Because, InuYasha-san, it is likely that the other villagers will have a similar response to Ookami-kun when they first see you. Tomorrow morning we, minus you, shall continue to the village on foot, and then explain about you. When everyone understands, we'll send Kirara to get you."
"Okay," InuYasha grumbled, "come on, let's set up camp."
I bent over Kirara's head, and urged her to land. She made a typical flawless and graceful landing. We all helped set up a small camp, just a few bed rolls and a camp fire. It was too early for dinner so we just sat around and talked for a while. "So Ookami-san, tell me a little about what's been happening in your village, please." Kagome started.
"Hmm, we've been making good progress, really. I was teaching Yukiko-chan, she's the oldest, and most capable, of the children left, how to make huts before I left. Yukiko-chan is doing well. Sango-chan, Yukiko-chan is her bright, happy self again. But one thing happened, after her parents died and we went into hiding. Her hair turned snow-white! It was the strangest thing, one day she just woke up with white hair. I think it was the stress."
"Oww! Kagome!"
"InuYasha! Osuwari! Stop picking on Shippou!"
InuYasha struggled to sit up, dirt and clumps of grass dripping off the front of his kimono. I struggled to keep a straight face, seeing him like this always cracked me up. "Damn wench! I never touched the brat!"
"Yeah, Kagome-san, it was Miroku-sama who hit me."
"What! Miroku-san, why?"
"Um, well you see, he... never mind."
"Well, Kagome-chan, I think you owe me an apology."
"You're absolutely right; I'm sorry InuYasha-kun, for sitting you."
"Damn wench,"
"Oh! I'm sorry; it was an accident this time, really!"
As I said, it's hard to keep a straight face.
Unbeknownst to the group below, they were being watched. On a near-by ridge a bunch of eyes glowed in the darkness, much chattering was taking place; an attack was soon to happen. The leader, who was graced by two Shikon shards, made the finishing adjustments to his plan, and then sent his tribe to surround the party waiting below.
The group continued to talk, suddenly they were attacked! Furry bodies were everywhere; InuYasha pulled the Tetsusaiga out and started smacking aside demons. Not to be out done by InuYasha, Ookami drew his short swords and entered into the melee. "What are theses demons?" The hanyou called.
"I think their squirrel demons." Kagome answered, she was back, near the trees, looking for Shikon shards.
Miroku was using his staff; he didn't want to endanger anyone by using the wind tunnel in such close quarters. "Hiraikotsu!" Sango cried, finally joining the battle.
"What! Who ever heard of a squirrel demon?" InuYasha said angrily, while easily smacking another one away. "I'd use the wind scar, but it would shatter those cliffs, and probably trap us." Wow, thought Kagome, he's actually thinking ahead for once.
"Actually, they have become a big nuisance around here, they are pests," said Ookami, "but this group seems very big, so it could present a problem."
"InuYasha-kun! See that big one? It's got two shards in its head!"
"Okay! Sango-san, Miroku-san! Guard my back!" InuYasha ran toward the lead squirrel, Tetsusaiga over his head. "Hiraikotsu!" Sango expertly sheared away several squirrels heading straight for InuYasha's unprotected back. Then Sango resumed her position, back to back with Miroku, sending demons to the next world. Suddenly Ookami, bolted in from nowhere, his swords flashing even faster then InuYasha's, and sliced the lead squirrels head completely off his body. When the other squirrel saw their leader dead they cowered for a minute, then quickly vanished into the trees.
"What the hell was that?" InuYasha raged at Ookami. "The job of getting the shards is always mine!"
Ookami bent down and rummaged through the decapitated squirrels head, then produced two shards which he cleaned on his kimono then stuffed in a pouch. "Hey! What are you doing! Those are my shards! Give 'em back!"
"As I recall, I killed the demon, I get the shards."
"Why you little...do you want to fight?"
"Yes, I think that I would enjoy that."
Kagome hurried forward, while Miroku, Sango, and Shippou continued to stare, "Wait a minute you two! There is no need to fight! We are on the same side, remember? Now Ookami-san, please give me the shards, I am the priestess, after all."
Ookami cheerfully handed the shards to Kagome, with a look at InuYasha "Anything for a beautiful woman."
Kagome blushed, "T-Thank you, Ookami-kun."
"Feh!" InuYasha said, while he stalked off into the woods.
"Oh, dear, I'd better follow him." Kagome set off in hot pursuit.
That night, after the squirrel demons had left I snuggled down into my bed roll, ready for sleep. Kagome had come back with a subdued InuYasha just a little bit ago so I had nothing left to worry about. Then something occurred to me. I had forgotten to ask earlier. "Ookami-kun, why did Tenshi-chan say you were related to me?"
"Because, Sango-chan, I said we were married."
"Oh..."
"YOU WHAT?!"
Everyone woke up suddenly; InuYasha was on his feet, brandishing an invisible sword and mumbling about mutated sushi. Everyone else just rubbed their eyes and glanced around. InuYasha realized what he was doing, blushed down the back of his neck, and sat down in a hurry. "You told them what again, Ookami-kun?" I was furious.
"I said we were married."
"Last I checked we were just engaged, besides, thinking someone is dead is enough to call off a marriage in my book... and I'm not ready to marry. Now go to sleep." I pulled my bed pad away from Ookami's, next to Kagome, and I quickly pretended to be asleep, despite Kagome's shakings, and whisperings. The audacity! To assume we were married, I'm not ready to marry anyone, there is still a small matter of revenge. Besides, there is someone else I love.
I quickly pushed that thought away; love just gets in the way. Naraku comes first. Always remember that, Naraku comes first.
