Chapter Four - The Four Musketeers and the Start of a New Adventure
Inuyasha:
"You really aren't Kikyo!".... the jellow broke the silence that followed after.. "I... I..." What could I do?.. I just made a fucking fool of myself infront of ex-girlfriend replica. .. not quite my mind told me.. look at her.. And I looked up.. once again I noticed the tiny differences that made this girl Kagome.. for a second.. just a second, I felt everything fall away, and there was nothing left but this stormy-eyed curious girl and I. Kikyo was completely gone from my mind.. "Hello.....?" bonk.. I shook my head and was exposed to the outside world.
"Keh." I mumbled, and picked up the bowl, turning around, starting off again. There was obveously nothing more to do with this new neighbor.. or maybe you're just afraid of something... SHUT UP!.. I glared back at my mind.. until this Kagome girl narrowed her eyes and grabbed my shoulder.. Had I said it out loud...?
Kagome:
"SHUT UP!" "WHAT?!" ... ...This guy was so rude!
"I. uh.. Keh"
"Keh?!" "Yes! Keh!".. "What the heck is a keh!?" "It's.. Keh!".. "And that means"
"KEH!".. "
"KEH""KE"
"What's your name?".. The silver one-word wonder was caught speechless.
"My...my name"
"Yes.. Your name.. I told you mine, and if we're going to survive being eachother's neighbors, I ought to know your name too." What was this guy.. daft? N-am -e : identification of what one is called, given to one or more persons. It's not that hard..
Inuyasha:
She was looking at me as though I had just told her that I was 2 years old with a passion for sex, and that I came from the nearest circle-papered classroom. Well.. she'd get hers.
"Fine.. My name is-" "INUYASHA!" ... I saw my ponytailed, purple-and-black cordinated friend come jogging up to me, with a pretty, bewildered girl following suit a bit behind.. "Inuyasha.. ? But that means.. "
"Dogdemon. I know"
"I think it's a very nice name.." Kagome had smiled twards me.
"My.. mom named me it.." But that was all we could exchange before our two companions arrived.
Kagome:
I had smiled.. The first smile since .. well...A very, very long time ago.. I glanced at Inuyasha, but his eyes were placed on the strange boy jogging twards us, and my friend Sango coming up behind him. Quickly I began to slip back into my house, and let the three of them reminisce. This was all too much for me.. Inuyasha was enough for one day.. Meeting new people isn't the best thing to do in the midst of depression..
Sango:
"Kagome! Wait!".. I ran over to grab my friend.. managing to catch her wrist.. "Where are you going? .. We have a few things to straighten out here with our new neighbors.. " I gave a half smile. Anything to keep her out of that wretched dark house.. Besides, wouldn't it be fun to finnally meet their new neighbors? Weirdo silver guy covered in jello, and the perverted Miroku.. Such fun. "This," I pulled her near me, "Is Miroku. He lives two houses down from us."
Miroku: Hmm.. Pretty creatures.. Now THIS was more like it.. two of them. .Still not enough, but just a snack to tide me over for an hour until I got back to my home and got my.. Er.. Yes. Right.. Kagome.. "Hello.." I used my charming smile, bending down on one knee, and kissing the top of her hand.. while my other hand soon found it's place to rub on the particular lusterious spot that no girl could res-.."AHH!!!" SLAP.. correction.. -some- could..
Kagome: I heard Inuyasha growl, and watch as he pulled Miroku away.. I wondered why for a second, until I felt the intruder that was currently passionatly rubbing on the curve of my skirt..."AHHH!", and before Inuyasha could fully pull him away, I raised my hand, and slapped him one hard good one.. "Some nice charming guy you are!" I huffed.. "Miroku, lay off!".. I saw Inuyasha glare down at the drunkenly grinning Miroku, while Sango shot daggers at him with her glare. Once again, the famous line ' If looks could kill..' .. Well, I'm sure Miroku's remains would be cut up into nice squares and hidden in random pots around the world with the unsolved mystery of a brutal murder on a tall young man, probably 6"2' with dark tanned skin, blue eyes, black hair tied in a small ponytail, and a love for black and purple clothing. I just shook my head.. "So, Kagome, introduce me to your new friend, and let's hope it's a less perverse aquatince than our previous.." Sango announced.. I took a breathe, calming myself from going over and kicking Miroku.. "........" I was quiet for a second and looked up at Inuyasha..."His name is Inuyasha, and he lives next to us.. I suppose we'll be seeing a lot of.. them both. They seem to know eachother." I sighed, and Inuyasha just kind of shrugged, and made another "Keh" sound..
Sango: "Well! Now that we're all aquainted!.." I trailed a bit, trying to keep cheerful. Kagome deserved it,.. and what better way to make happy than to meet new people!.. All of this was going no where fast.. I noticed.. "Oh, Kagome.. I forgot to tell you.. Your mom should be coming back from the ice cream parlor any minute now.. She said she'd all take us to a trip to the mall. I figured we could go see a movie afterwards.. Perhaps we could take our new.. eh.. friends?".. I glanced at Inuyasha, who seemed to be a bit bewildered and staring off in space, in the direction of Kagome. Miroku looked all-out for the idea. Well. Of -course- he'd be happy.. psh.. And Kagome just looked like her sad self.. "I don't feel like going, Sango.." I listen to my friend start an excuse.. I traced Inuyasha's eyes to lock with Kagome's .. "Aww. C'mone Kagome.." I pleaded.. the pair still had a staring contest, until my friend finnally rendured..
Kagome:
"Alright.. Alright fine..".. I didn't know what made me give in.. Why I suddenly agreed when I looked at Inuyasha.. The pools of gold simutainously begging me themselves.. I shook my head, and gazed at the floor.. "Wait.." Inuyasha said, turning pink in the cheeks.. "Miroku and I.. uh.. have to ask our.. Guardian.. Well, tell her.. where we're going.." The two of them pulled themselves up, and led us to the house that was beside Miroku's.. quickly I watched as the silver haired boy opened the door.. calling "KAEDE!"..
Kaede:
"Oh shush!.. Inuyasha, I'm not deaf, you know. I may look old, but I've still got more wits than you.." I pulled my self up, setting the herbs that I had been mixing, down.. I still had a few healing recipes, but as for getting buy, numerous companies would ask me to concoct different things to make different items.. food, fragrance, candles.. ect. Shaking my head of graying faded out brown hair that was once black, I fingered my eye patch, before pulling my old bones up to the entrance of my small hut-like house, where Inuyasha, Miroku, and two strange girls were waiting.. Quickly the two children who I had, and still am, a guardian over, explained the situation.
"Oh.. Of course it's alright.. It's a weekend after all .. And isn't the school close for some teacher's convention on Monday anyways?" .. I shrugged.. My old mind could keep track of more than one thing at a time, luckilly.. Soon I heard three voices.. one belonging to a middle age woman that held a strong resemblance to one of the strange girls, who seemed to be named Kagome and Sango, a little boy that also seemed to be in relation to the mother and Kagome.. then.. I saw a very hansome man behind them.. Very good-looking indeed.. "It's very nice to meet you, I'm Inuyasha and Miroku's Guardian.. My name is Kaede. It seems that my two boys want to accompany you and your girls to a trip to the mall. It is fine with me, as long as I have your consent." I held out my hand to the woman, but was quickly taken up by the hansome man I had seen before.. I smiled.. "Oh.. Yes.. yes.. My name is Setsuna.. I'm Kagome's mother.. And this is.. " she blinked, her hand put back down.. "That's grandpa! And my name is Souta! We just moved here." I nodded and smiled "Aye, Child.. And 'tis a good move, I'm looking forward to seeing more of you friendly neighbors.. Here, have a freshly baked cookie.." I swept up to a table right behind me which I had also been busy with, handing the boy a penut butter cookie. He smiled greatfully..
Kagome: "Grandpa.." I murmured.. He still was holding on to Ms. Kaede's hand.. My grandpa chuckled, and pulled away, but not before saying "I'm sure you kids wouldn't want me hanging around with you.. So I'm going to stay here and keep Lady Kaede company.. I smell herbs.. I know a bit about that.. And a few very good spells"
"Grandpa!".. Souta giggled.. "You don't know squat about spells.. you just pretend you do"
"Now, you see here boy"
"I think it's time to leave!".. I said urgently, not wanting to waste anymore time on my grandfather's usless jabber. When he finished, the mall would be closed. Inuyasha and I quickly cleaned up, the jello not really being all that messy after all. When I came back out, I grabbed as many hands as I could, and started running off, turned back for a bit, and waving at my grandpa and Kaede.. "Have fun!".. I called, trying to keep in a faux cheerful tone, though it wasn't working well.. things were just going to fast.. I sighed, pulling myself into the back of my mom's spacious van. Two seats up front, four seats in the middle, a pair of two on either side, and four grouped together in the back, with a trunk.. Souta sat in the shotgun, my mother was obveous the one to drive, and us, not wanting to be cramped, had sat in the couplet seats in the middle. Miroku next to Sango... and Inuyasha next to me... how conveniant....
