A Journey in a Different Time
-Chapter 9-
A Guy Name Who?
Kagome and company has arrived at a hot spring, Kagome and Sango suggest for Michelle to get in too, she needed to wash away the blood stained on her. Michelle refused but Kagome and Sango forced her in! First they dunk her whole body into the hot spring with her clothes still on. Kagome and Sango wouldn't let go of her head unless they think some of the blood stains have disappeared a little bit.
When they finally let go of her head, her head rised up from the water and she tried to catch her breath. Her hair and her clothes were soaken wet and she was sweating a lot because of the clothes, so she went behind a rock to get undressed and grab a towel since Kagome and Sango wouldn't stop nagging at her.
When she wrapped the towel around her dirty, bloody naked body she went into the hot spring and sat on her bottom and let Sango and Kagome talk some things over. Something about Miroku and Inuyasha not seeing them naked again and giving them bumps on their heads for them to learn their lesson. But she didn't pay any attention to anything after that because she was concentrating to get the blood out of her hair. Her clothes were blood- stained free but her body and hair wasn't.
"Michelle...? You need to wash your hair! It still smells like blood," said Kagome.
"I don't care about that now! What I'm really worried about is what am I going to wear once I get out of this hot spring!?" Asked Michelle.
"Don't worry! One of us will stop by Kaede's village to get some clothes!" Said Sango. "But you're going to have to stay in this hot spring until we get it! Understand?"
"Yes! I understand!! Kagome...do you have any soap for me to wash the blood off of my body?" Asked Michelle.
"Yes, but you have to wash that blood off by a waterfall. You can't wash it in the hot spring! It won't go anywhere! I also did brought some shampoo just in case!" Answered Kagome.
"And conditioner?"
"Yup!"
"Good! I really need to get the blood out of my hair."
"But I want to ask you something...actually me and Sango wants to ask you something. How did you get blood all over you? Inuyasha told me it was because of someone killing herself."
"I don't want to talk about it..."
"You can't keep it from us forever you know! It should be important to tell us about these kind of things!" Said Sango.
"It may be important to you but not to me! So stay out of it!!"
They were silent for awhile. But when there was too much silence, Kagome and Sango decided to go and the get the clothes from Kaede's village. They both had to leave just in case. If Kagome goes....she would barely have a chance to defend herself. So they left Michelle there until they can come back with the clothes. Michelle put the towel back next to the backpack which was behind the rock where she undressed.
All Michelle did was sat in the hot spring and looked at the path that lead to the hot spring. The path was in the form of a hill in the middle of the forest. So if someone was on the hill and slip, it would slid down to the hot spring where Michelle is.
"I think I need a bath! It's already been 5 days since I haven't taken a bath!" Said the guy. He had a long black braided hair and blue eyes, a blue and white kimono. Actually, the blue was part of the design of the kimono. The blue on his arms of the kimono, chest and back were like waves on him. They were going across not facing up or down. He had a nice built sword. ( Almost like Bankotsu's but a less wide. Don't worry...it's not Bankotsu.)
He had no idea where he was going. All he knew was walking in the forest trying to find a hot spring. When he found a hill, he put his sword into his scabbard and climb the hill to get a better view. He saw some steam so he suspect to be a hot spring near by. He had to climb the hill with both his hands and legs. It was very difficult.
He finally got to the top and stood on it. It was a nice very dark night...but it was too dark for him. The moon was nice and bright. He loved to look at the stars and sometimes imagine his home or imagine his wife-to- be. But he doesn't have a wife. It's one of the reasons why he travels alone. To find a wife and to kill Naraku.
He smiled to himself and took a step forward, he stepped on a little rock and put pressure into his foot and slipped backwards down the hill to where the steam was. He couldn't see very well because he slid down the hill so fast that he didn't noticed he landed in a hot spring. He didn't let his head rise up to the surface because he heard a girl screamed and was wondering what that was.
He lift his head out of the water with his eyes closed and gave out a loud sigh. When he finally opened them, he figured where that scream was coming from. It was from a woman....he saw a woman in the hot spring, her back was against the huge rock behind her and she was using her arms to cover her breasts. He saw the woman had short brown hairr a little bit under her shoulders, and nice hazil eyes. He looked at those eyes and began to blush but then he realized he was still in the hot spring with this naked woman.
He looked at the area around him and then looked at the naked woman....but his eyes landed on her breasts but he can barely see it because of her arms. But he could still see some of the skin. "Uh....It's a nice night to take a bath, huh?" Asked the guy.
"W-Who are you!?" Asked Michelle.
"Don't worry miss! I won't do anything harmful to you. As you may know I am human!"
"A perverted human! That's what you are!!"
"Hold it! I think we have got off the wrong foot." The guy walked closer to her and Michelle continued to try and cover herself under water. But the guy grabbed her arm so he can touch the soft skin while Michelle trys to cover her breasts with one arm. He made her stood up and Michelle grew even more embarrassed. Then he looked at her face but she wasn't facing him. Her eyes were closed tight and her face was facing the water. He used his free hand and touched her cheek and moved her face to look at him, Michelle opened her eyes to see his. "My name is Natsuyo, a travelor."
"And my name is Michelle, a scared and embarrassed girl waiting for you to let go of my arm so I can scream my head off!"
"Don't worry! I won't hurt you in any way!"
Michelle blushed and turned her face away. "Please leave before anyone sees you like this!"
"There's some other people around? I never knew!"
"I don't feel comfortable like this! Please leave before I scream!!" He pulled her closer to him but Michelle felt more frightened when she felt his wet kimono against her bare skin. She blushed even more. She was about to scream but Natsuyo put his hand over her mouth.
"Please don't scream! I'm begging you!! I just want to talk to you and have a nice time." She pulled his hand away from her mouth.
Michelle had some nasty thoughts in her head. "Ew! Get away from me!!"
"Oh, no! I didn't mean anything like that! I meant I want to have a nice conversation with you!" His hand rubbed her back and Michelle felt a shiver up her spine. "Please? I just want a nice conversation with a nice beautiful girl."
"Ew! You really have to get away from me!!
"Aw man! That's not what I meant either!! I didn't mean that you have a nice beautiful naked body! I meant to say you have a beautiful face that's all."
Michelle pushed him away and turned around to get her towel. But Natsuyo wrapped his arms around her naked body, his arms on her's. His chest on her back. Michelle put her hands to her chest and Natsuyo's hands followed her's, his arms on top of her arms. Michelle was trying to struggle her way out of this some kind of weird hug but his grip around her was too strong.
"Michelle! Are you still in the hot spring?" She heard Kagome's voice and panicked!
"Natsuyo! Please get off of me!!" Complained Michelle.
"Huh?" Questioned Natsuyo. He didn't hear anyone coming.
Kagome and Sango came to the hot spring and were smiling with their eyes closed. "We got the clothes you needed! Here....it is?" Confused Sango. Both Kagome and Sango had open their eyes and saw the guy's chest against Michelle's naked back. They saw his arms over on top of her's and his hands on her hands to her chest. Michelle was blushing rapidly and Natsuyo was confused.
"Um....Shoulde we come back later for you guys to finish something here?" Asked Kagome.
"No! It's not what you think! I don't even know him!" Panicked Michelle. "Natsuyo!! Tell them!"
"You may not know him but you know his name..." said Sango.
"I DON'T KNOW HIM!!!!" Screamed Michelle.
"Wait! Please don't scream Michelle!!" Said Natsuyo.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After 10 minutes, Michelle had the miko kimono on. Top white and the bottom red like what Kikyo's wearing. Michelle's hair was still wet and she was very pissed at Natsuyo. Her hair was in a pony tail to get her wet hair out of the way. She was closing her eyes to imagine to beat him up because he was sitting next to her. His hand on the back of his head with a smile and was kind of laughing like this: "Heh-heh!"
"It's not funny!" Warned Michelle.
"Hey! I said I was sorry! I didn't mean to do that," said Natsuyo.
Kagome and Sango were sitting across from Michelle and Natsuyo. Inuyasha was sitting by Kagome, Sango was sitting by Miroku and they stared at them blankly. Shippo had no idea what's going on. Inuyasha just laughed at Michelle.
"Ha ha! You almost got raped!" Said Inuyasha.
"I didn't get raped, baka!! HE only wrapped his arms around me!!" Angered Michelle.
"He almost did, though!"
"Actually, I wasn't planning to rape anyone!" Said Natsuyo.
"Why are you here anyway?" Asked Kagome.
"I'm actually traveling to find a wife and-"
"Well, you found one all right!" Said Inuyasha.
"Shut up you stupid dog!!!" Shouted Michelle.
"Anyway! I'm not just looking for a wife, I'm also looking for Naraku so I can kill him."
"Why?" Asked Sango.
"Because he killed my entire family and took a shard from me!"
"A shard? I kind of got one from Naraku..." said Michelle.
"Really?" He looked at Michelle who of course was next to her. He gave her a warm smile. "If it's suppose to be mine then you can keep it!"
"....What?"
"You can keep it. I trust you!"
"But we just met not too long ago!"
"I know! I want you to have it!"
Michelle lift her hand up to feel his forehead. "You have no fever but do you need any medical treatement?"
Natsuyo used his hand to grab her hand which is on his forehead. He held her hand with both of his hands. Michelle blushed and turned her head to face Kagome so she can avoid looking at Natsuyo. And to make sure she hides the blush from Natsuyo.
"I may not have a fever...but I do need medical treatement...from you!"
Michelle turned her head back to Natsuyo. "Huh!? What do you mean by that!?"
"Oh...nothing that special!"
"[He reminds me of Miroku! Get this guy away from me!!] Can you let go of my hand?"
"Maybe I shouldn't. Your hands are so cold I think my hands can fill that warmth on your hands."
"Uh...guys? We're still here!" Said Kagome.
Natsuyo didn't let go of her hand. He still held them and looked deep into Michelle's eyes. Natsuyo didn't even hear Kagome said that. He was too busy filling Michelle's hands with warmth, and he was also too busy falling in love with her...or is he falling in love with her.
"OY!! WE'RE STILL HERE!! YOU CAN STOP WITH THE MUSHY STUFF!!" Angered Inuyasha.
"It's not mushy! He's just trying to give me hints that he likes me! But I think it's too much of a hint!" Said Michelle.
"I think it's time to go to bed," said Miroku.
"All right....but no one better not think about sleeping with the opposite sex, you got that?" Said Kagome.
"Right...." said everybody.
Inuyasha, Miroku and Natsuyo were staying up to watch the girls. Since they're like men, they have to protect the woman they are traveling with! Inuyasha was sitting in his usual position, Miroku laying on his side, Natsuyo was just sitting on his bottom who keeps looking at Michelle, she was still in her miko clothes she is borrowing.
"Oy! Don't you know you remind me of someone here?" Asked Inuyasha.
Natsuyo turned his head to Inuyasha and smiled. "Oh, no! I'm not a pervert! I'm just thinking on how beautiful she looks in the night and when she sleeps," explained Natsuyo.
"That still makes you a pervert!"
"But still, no one can be like me!!" Said Miroku.
"You're the even worse pervert!!" Said Inuyasha. "Anyway, why are you really here?"
"I told you guys before, I need to kill Naraku..." said Natsuyo.
"That's not the whole story!"
"Fine! If you really want to know...let's just say Naraku killed me before....but he revived me to work for him," said Natsuyo. "He wanted me to work for him....my first assignment was to find Michelle and kill her to get the two Shikon jewel shards she has. But I'm not a killer, so I'm making Naraku think I work for him."
"So, do you like Michelle?" Asked Miroku.
"Well...yeah! She's beautiful and funny and....a little crazy!"
"Enough talk about her! You were saying!" Said Inuyasha.
"Right! If Naraku finds out I was betraying him all this time, he'll kill me....by sending a powerful youkai to kill me...or let Kagura come and kill me or let Kanna come and take my soul....or Kohaku-"
"Okay! Enough!! I get the message..."
"Are you going to tell your woman?" Asked Miroku.
"Don't be like Koga, Miroku!" Angered Inuyasha.
"Um...I'm not sure she's my woman, but I know I'm not going to tell her about this. I don't want her to know any of this of what we were talking about. Understand?"
Miroku raised his right hand. "I understand!"
"I guess..." said Inuyasha.
"Thanks...I don't want her to know." Said Natsuyo.
"All right! Let's talk about something else!" Said Inuyasha.
It was bright and early. The way everybody else likes it because you can see everything in the light. But for awhile, Michelle has to wear the miko clothes because her school uniform is a little wet. But it was alright to her, she kind of likes the miko clothes. Inuyasha hated it like always because now Michelle reminds him of Kikyo. But Michelle was still asleep as they know it. They're just packing things up before they leave. But Natsuyo is also sleeping too.
He's sleeping next to...
Michelle woke up and felt an arm around her shoulder. She found out her head was laying on someone's chest and took the arm off. She pulled herself up to look at the person who was next to her.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" Screamed Michelle.
"Now what?" Asked Inuyasha.
"That's probably Natsuyo just waking up from Michelle's screaming. We did saw him going over to her and sleep next to her," said Miroku.
Back to where Michelle and Natsuyo was, Natsuyo did woke up from Michelle's screaming. But the only thing he got out of her was some slapping in the face of being such a stickin' pervert she thinks he is.
"How dare you sleep next to me like that! Who told you to do that anyway!?" Angered Michelle. She gave him a hard slap in the cheek.
"I....was drunk?" Said Natsuyo.
"Does it look like there's any sake around here for you to get drunk!?"
"Ah....yeah. You're the sake who got me drunk!" Said Natsuyo with a funny lookin' smile on his face.
"Did you...just-"
"No! I didn't do anything that much to you. I only slept next to you."
"Why, you-"
She was about to hit him so hard he won't be able to remember a thing of what he did. But she stopped when she saw those gorgeous blue eyes. She blushed and sat back down. She was about to apoligize to him. She turned her head to him but she was shocked on what happened next. He kissed her cheek. It lasted for a few minutes though. Then Natsuyo pulled back and smiled at her.
"Don't worry....I only like you as a friend. I'm not trying to do anything stupid to you or with you, I was only kidding about all that mushy stuff. But you can still keep the jewel shard if you like," said Natsuyo.
"T-Thanks..." Michelle was heart broken...she thought he really liked her. She likes him...she thinks he's cute, funny...has nice blue eyes and nice long black braided hair. She really thought he liked her....no, not like her....love her. She fell in love with him. Love at first sight is what they call it these days. And she thought that would happen to him. It happened to her. Even though he made a horrible impression when they first met last night.
"Are you okay?" Asked Natsuyo. He felt her forehead with his hand. "You seem to be okay." At that time, Michelle thought he really liked her. But knew he didn't....but she still blushed when he touched her forehead. She used her hands to put his hand down.
"I'm fine....just a little tired," answered Michelle.
"OY!! COME ON!! WE'RE LEAVING!!!" Shouted Inuyasha.
Natsuyo stood up and helped Michelle up by lending her a hand. He pulled her up on her feet and they walked out of the forest quitely without saying a word to each other. Michelle tighten the miko clothes on her because of Natsuyo. She didn't want him to see her like that again.
They finally came out of the forest, Inuyasha and the others were waiting for Michelle and Natsuyo.
"Come on! Let's go!" Said Miroku.
"Just a minute! I need to say goodbye to Michelle," said Natsuyo.
"You're leaving?" Questioned Michelle.
"Yeah! I have to continue to look for Naraku again so I can kill him."
"How come you didn't tell me?"
"I...could've hurt you. And I didn't want that."
"We'll just go on ahead, okay?" Said Sango.
"All right!" Said Michelle. After they continue to walk on ahead, Michelle turned her attention back to Natsuyo. "I....kind of wanted you to come with us..." Her face started to turn red.
"I want to, too. But I can't, I might hurt you," said Natsuyo.
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing! But I do want to give you something before I leave."
"Huh? But I thought the shard was enough. What is that you-" She was cut off because something had landed on her lips. Natsuyo's lips....had landed on her's. He was kissing her for real. Did he really like her? Or is he just kidding about the kiss too? The kiss only lasted for a few minutes and then he removed his lips from her's.
"That was a friend kiss." He said...
"For what?"
"For being a good friend while it lasted and pretending to hate me!" He put another smile on his face. She smiled back at him.
"Thanks!"
"I'll see you again....really soon! I promise!" He turned his face away and faced the opposite direction. He started to run to that direction and Michelle just watched him leave. "[That was a real kiss Michelle...And I truly will come back to you. Because....I really like you.]"
Looks like they like each other. But who will confess first? Michelle or Natsuyo? Who knows who!
Michelle tried to run in the miko clothes but it was difficult to her. But she caught up with the others in time. But the only thing they did was embarrass her because they saw Natsuyo kissed Michelle. She kept blushing and kept saying "shut up" to them.

A Guy Name Who?
Kagome and company has arrived at a hot spring, Kagome and Sango suggest for Michelle to get in too, she needed to wash away the blood stained on her. Michelle refused but Kagome and Sango forced her in! First they dunk her whole body into the hot spring with her clothes still on. Kagome and Sango wouldn't let go of her head unless they think some of the blood stains have disappeared a little bit.

But she didn't pay any attention to anything after that because she was concentrating to get the blood out of her hair. Her clothes were blood- stained free but her body and hair wasn't.
"Michelle...? You need to wash your hair! It still smells like blood," said Kagome.
"I don't care about that now! What I'm really worried about is what am I going to wear once I get out of this hot spring!?" Asked Michelle.
"Don't worry! One of us will stop by Kaede's village to get some clothes!" Said Sango. "But you're going to have to stay in this hot spring until we get it! Understand?"
"Yes! I understand!! Kagome...do you have any soap for me to wash the blood off of my body?" Asked Michelle.
"Yes, but you have to wash that blood off by a waterfall. You can't wash it in the hot spring! It won't go anywhere! I also did brought some shampoo just in case!" Answered Kagome.
"And conditioner?"
"Yup!"
"Good! I really need to get the blood out of my hair."
"But I want to ask you something...actually me and Sango wants to ask you something. How did you get blood all over you? Inuyasha told me it was because of someone killing herself."
"I don't want to talk about it..."
"You can't keep it from us forever you know! It should be important to tell us about these kind of things!" Said Sango.
"It may be important to you but not to me! So stay out of it!!"
They were silent for awhile. But when there was too much silence, Kagome and Sango decided to go and the get the clothes from Kaede's village. They both had to leave just in case. If Kagome goes....she would barely have a chance to defend herself. So they left Michelle there until they can come back with the clothes. Michelle put the towel back next to the backpack which was behind the rock where she undressed.
All Michelle did was sat in the hot spring and looked at the path that lead to the hot spring. The path was in the form of a hill in the middle of the forest. So if someone was on the hill and slip, it would slid down to the hot spring where Michelle is.
"I think I need a bath! It's already been 5 days since I haven't taken a bath!" Said the guy. He had a long black braided hair and blue eyes, a blue and white kimono. Actually, the blue was part of the design of the kimono. The blue on his arms of the kimono, chest and back were like waves on him. They were going across not facing up or down.

It was from a woman....he saw a woman in the hot spring, her back was against the huge rock behind her and she was using her arms to cover her breasts. He saw the woman had short brown hairr a little bit under her shoulders, and nice hazil eyes. He looked at those eyes and began to blush but then he realized he was still in the hot spring with this naked woman.
He looked at the area around him and then looked at the naked woman....but his eyes landed on her breasts but he can barely see it because of her arms. But he could still see some of the skin. "Uh....It's a nice night to take a bath, huh?" Asked the guy.
"W-Who are you!?" Asked Michelle.
"Don't worry miss! I won't do anything harmful to you. As you may know I am human!"
"A perverted human! That's what you are!!"
"Hold it! I think we have got off the wrong foot." The guy walked closer to her and Michelle continued to try and cover herself under water. But the guy grabbed her arm so he can touch the soft skin while Michelle trys to cover her breasts with one arm. He made her stood up and Michelle grew even more embarrassed. Then he looked at her face but she wasn't facing him. Her eyes were closed tight and her face was facing the water. He used his free hand and touched her cheek and moved her face to look at him, Michelle opened her eyes to see his. "My name is Natsuyo, a travelor."
"And my name is Michelle, a scared and embarrassed girl waiting for you to let go of my arm so I can scream my head off!"
"Don't worry! I won't hurt you in any way!"
Michelle blushed and turned her face away. "Please leave before anyone sees you like this!"
"There's some other people around? I never knew!"
"I don't feel comfortable like this! Please leave before I scream!!" He pulled her closer to him but Michelle felt more frightened when she felt his wet kimono against her bare skin. She blushed even more. She was about to scream but Natsuyo put his hand over her mouth.
"Please don't scream! I'm begging you!! I just want to talk to you and have a nice time." She pulled his hand away from her mouth.
Michelle had some nasty thoughts in her head. "Ew! Get away from me!!"
"Oh, no! I didn't mean anything like that! I meant I want to have a nice conversation with you!" His hand rubbed her back and Michelle felt a shiver up her spine. "Please? I just want a nice conversation with a nice beautiful girl."
"Ew! You really have to get away from me!!
"Aw man! That's not what I meant either!! I didn't mean that you have a nice beautiful naked body! I meant to say you have a beautiful face that's all."
Michelle pushed him away and turned around to get her towel. But Natsuyo wrapped his arms around her naked body, his arms on her's. His chest on her back. Michelle put her hands to her chest and Natsuyo's hands followed her's, his arms on top of her arms. Michelle was trying to struggle her way out of this some kind of weird hug but his grip around her was too strong.
"Michelle! Are you still in the hot spring?" She heard Kagome's voice and panicked!
"Natsuyo! Please get off of me!!" Complained Michelle.
"Huh?" Questioned Natsuyo. He didn't hear anyone coming.
Kagome and Sango came to the hot spring and were smiling with their eyes closed. "We got the clothes you needed! Here....it is?" Confused Sango. Both Kagome and Sango had open their eyes and saw the guy's chest against Michelle's naked back. They saw his arms over on top of her's and his hands on her hands to her chest. Michelle was blushing rapidly and Natsuyo was confused.
"Um....Shoulde we come back later for you guys to finish something here?" Asked Kagome.
"No! It's not what you think! I don't even know him!" Panicked Michelle. "Natsuyo!! Tell them!"
"You may not know him but you know his name..." said Sango.
"I DON'T KNOW HIM!!!!" Screamed Michelle.
"Wait! Please don't scream Michelle!!" Said Natsuyo.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
After 10 minutes, Michelle had the miko kimono on. Top white and the bottom red like what Kikyo's wearing. Michelle's hair was still wet and she was very pissed at Natsuyo. Her hair was in a pony tail to get her wet hair out of the way. She was closing her eyes to imagine to beat him up because he was sitting next to her. His hand on the back of his head with a smile and was kind of laughing like this: "Heh-heh!"
"It's not funny!" Warned Michelle.
"Hey! I said I was sorry! I didn't mean to do that," said Natsuyo.
Kagome and Sango were sitting across from Michelle and Natsuyo. Inuyasha was sitting by Kagome, Sango was sitting by Miroku and they stared at them blankly. Shippo had no idea what's going on. Inuyasha just laughed at Michelle.
"Ha ha! You almost got raped!" Said Inuyasha.
"I didn't get raped, baka!! HE only wrapped his arms around me!!" Angered Michelle.
"He almost did, though!"
"Actually, I wasn't planning to rape anyone!" Said Natsuyo.
"Why are you here anyway?" Asked Kagome.
"I'm actually traveling to find a wife and-"
"Well, you found one all right!" Said Inuyasha.
"Shut up you stupid dog!!!" Shouted Michelle.
"Anyway! I'm not just looking for a wife, I'm also looking for Naraku so I can kill him."
"Why?" Asked Sango.
"Because he killed my entire family and took a shard from me!"
"A shard? I kind of got one from Naraku..." said Michelle.
"Really?" He looked at Michelle who of course was next to her. He gave her a warm smile. "If it's suppose to be mine then you can keep it!"
"....What?"
"You can keep it. I trust you!"
"But we just met not too long ago!"
"I know! I want you to have it!"
Michelle lift her hand up to feel his forehead. "You have no fever but do you need any medical treatement?"
Natsuyo used his hand to grab her hand which is on his forehead. He held her hand with both of his hands. Michelle blushed and turned her head to face Kagome so she can avoid looking at Natsuyo. And to make sure she hides the blush from Natsuyo.
"I may not have a fever...but I do need medical treatement...from you!"
Michelle turned her head back to Natsuyo. "Huh!? What do you mean by that!?"
"Oh...nothing that special!"
"[He reminds me of Miroku! Get this guy away from me!!] Can you let go of my hand?"
"Maybe I shouldn't. Your hands are so cold I think my hands can fill that warmth on your hands."
"Uh...guys? We're still here!" Said Kagome.
Natsuyo didn't let go of her hand. He still held them and looked deep into Michelle's eyes. Natsuyo didn't even hear Kagome said that. He was too busy filling Michelle's hands with warmth, and he was also too busy falling in love with her...or is he falling in love with her.
"OY!! WE'RE STILL HERE!! YOU CAN STOP WITH THE MUSHY STUFF!!" Angered Inuyasha.
"It's not mushy! He's just trying to give me hints that he likes me! But I think it's too much of a hint!" Said Michelle.
"I think it's time to go to bed," said Miroku.
"All right....but no one better not think about sleeping with the opposite sex, you got that?" Said Kagome.
"Right...." said everybody.
Inuyasha, Miroku and Natsuyo were staying up to watch the girls. Since they're like men, they have to protect the woman they are traveling with! Inuyasha was sitting in his usual position, Miroku laying on his side, Natsuyo was just sitting on his bottom who keeps looking at Michelle, she was still in her miko clothes she is borrowing.
"Oy! Don't you know you remind me of someone here?" Asked Inuyasha.
Natsuyo turned his head to Inuyasha and smiled. "Oh, no! I'm not a pervert! I'm just thinking on how beautiful she looks in the night and when she sleeps," explained Natsuyo.
"That still makes you a pervert!"
"But still, no one can be like me!!" Said Miroku.
"You're the even worse pervert!!" Said Inuyasha. "Anyway, why are you really here?"
"I told you guys before, I need to kill Naraku..." said Natsuyo.
"That's not the whole story!"
"Fine! If you really want to know...let's just say Naraku killed me before....but he revived me to work for him," said Natsuyo. "He wanted me to work for him....my first assignment was to find Michelle and kill her to get the two Shikon jewel shards she has. But I'm not a killer, so I'm making Naraku think I work for him."
"So, do you like Michelle?" Asked Miroku.
"Well...yeah! She's beautiful and funny and....a little crazy!"
"Enough talk about her! You were saying!" Said Inuyasha.
"Right! If Naraku finds out I was betraying him all this time, he'll kill me....by sending a powerful youkai to kill me...or let Kagura come and kill me or let Kanna come and take my soul....or Kohaku-"
"Okay! Enough!! I get the message..."
"Are you going to tell your woman?" Asked Miroku.
"Don't be like Koga, Miroku!" Angered Inuyasha.
"Um...I'm not sure she's my woman, but I know I'm not going to tell her about this. I don't want her to know any of this of what we were talking about. Understand?"
Miroku raised his right hand. "I understand!"
"I guess..." said Inuyasha.
"Thanks...I don't want her to know." Said Natsuyo.
"All right! Let's talk about something else!" Said Inuyasha.
It was bright and early. The way everybody else likes it because you can see everything in the light. But for awhile, Michelle has to wear the miko clothes because her school uniform is a little wet. But it was alright to her, she kind of likes the miko clothes. Inuyasha hated it like always because now Michelle reminds him of Kikyo. But Michelle was still asleep as they know it. They're just packing things up before they leave. But Natsuyo is also sleeping too.
He's sleeping next to...
Michelle woke up and felt an arm around her shoulder. She found out her head was laying on someone's chest and took the arm off. She pulled herself up to look at the person who was next to her.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!" Screamed Michelle.
"Now what?" Asked Inuyasha.
"That's probably Natsuyo just waking up from Michelle's screaming. We did saw him going over to her and sleep next to her," said Miroku.
Back to where Michelle and Natsuyo was, Natsuyo did woke up from Michelle's screaming. But the only thing he got out of her was some slapping in the face of being such a stickin' pervert she thinks he is.
"How dare you sleep next to me like that! Who told you to do that anyway!?" Angered Michelle. She gave him a hard slap in the cheek.
"I....was drunk?" Said Natsuyo.
"Does it look like there's any sake around here for you to get drunk!?"
"Ah....yeah. You're the sake who got me drunk!" Said Natsuyo with a funny lookin' smile on his face.
"Did you...just-"
"No! I didn't do anything that much to you. I only slept next to you."
"Why, you-"
She was about to hit him so hard he won't be able to remember a thing of what he did. But she stopped when she saw those gorgeous blue eyes. She blushed and sat back down. She was about to apoligize to him. She turned her head to him but she was shocked on what happened next. He kissed her cheek. It lasted for a few minutes though. Then Natsuyo pulled back and smiled at her.
"Don't worry....I only like you as a friend. I'm not trying to do anything stupid to you or with you, I was only kidding about all that mushy stuff. But you can still keep the jewel shard if you like," said Natsuyo.
"T-Thanks..." Michelle was heart broken...she thought he really liked her. She likes him...she thinks he's cute, funny...has nice blue eyes and nice long black braided hair. She really thought he liked her....no, not like her....love her. She fell in love with him. Love at first sight is what they call it these days. And she thought that would happen to him. It happened to her. Even though he made a horrible impression when they first met last night.
"Are you okay?" Asked Natsuyo. He felt her forehead with his hand. "You seem to be okay." At that time, Michelle thought he really liked her. But knew he didn't....but she still blushed when he touched her forehead. She used her hands to put his hand down.
"I'm fine....just a little tired," answered Michelle.
"OY!! COME ON!! WE'RE LEAVING!!!" Shouted Inuyasha.
Natsuyo stood up and helped Michelle up by lending her a hand. He pulled her up on her feet and they walked out of the forest quitely without saying a word to each other. Michelle tighten the miko clothes on her because of Natsuyo. She didn't want him to see her like that again.
They finally came out of the forest, Inuyasha and the others were waiting for Michelle and Natsuyo.
"Come on! Let's go!" Said Miroku.
"Just a minute! I need to say goodbye to Michelle," said Natsuyo.
"You're leaving?" Questioned Michelle.
"Yeah! I have to continue to look for Naraku again so I can kill him."
"How come you didn't tell me?"
"I...could've hurt you. And I didn't want that."
"We'll just go on ahead, okay?" Said Sango.
"All right!" Said Michelle. After they continue to walk on ahead, Michelle turned her attention back to Natsuyo. "I....kind of wanted you to come with us..." Her face started to turn red.
"I want to, too. But I can't, I might hurt you," said Natsuyo.
"What do you mean?"
"Nothing! But I do want to give you something before I leave."
"Huh? But I thought the shard was enough. What is that you-" She was cut off because something had landed on her lips. Natsuyo's lips....had landed on her's. He was kissing her for real. Did he really like her? Or is he just kidding about the kiss too? The kiss only lasted for a few minutes and then he removed his lips from her's.
"That was a friend kiss." He said...
"For what?"
"For being a good friend while it lasted and pretending to hate me!" He put another smile on his face. She smiled back at him.
"Thanks!"
"I'll see you again....really soon! I promise!" He turned his face away and faced the opposite direction. He started to run to that direction and Michelle just watched him leave. "[That was a real kiss Michelle...And I truly will come back to you. Because....I really like you.]"
Looks like they like each other. But who will confess first? Michelle or Natsuyo? Who knows who!
Michelle tried to run in the miko clothes but it was difficult to her. But she caught up with the others in time. But the only thing they did was embarrass her because they saw Natsuyo kissed Michelle. She kept blushing and kept saying "shut up" to them.
