Chapter 18: OOOOPS! My mistake.
They were walking for a whole day without any more attacks. While they were traveling deeper in to the Northern Lands heavy silence fell on the group. There were no sounds around them as if all the creatures disappeared. The silence was interrupted, as usual, by two certain persons.
"LOOK WHERE YOU ARE GOING, YOU WHIMPY WOLF!!!" An angry shout was heard from Inu Yasha as Kouga was too busy looking around and thus bumped into the silver hanoy.
"I'M WALKING HERE MUTT!!! MOVE ASIDE!!!" Barked Kouga in return rubbing his nose and shoving Inu aside.
"YOU SHOULD WATCH WHERE YOU STEP AND NOT DAYDREAMING WHILE WE ARE NEAR THE CENTER OF THE NORTHERN LANDS!!!" the staring contest began between the two.
Kagome singed. "There they go again."
"Tell me why we are doing this again?" Sesshoumaru whispered to Kagome.
"You tell me." Was the reply he received. Kagome rubbed her temples.
The two mentioned troublemakers started another round of bickering.
"We are in the center of enemy territory and they behave like kids." Miroku put his weight on his stuff.
"Aren't they tired of this?" Sango asked no one in particular. "As we stopped I suggest we camp here for tonight and tomorrow we will continue fresh and will reach Naraku's castle."
"I agree with Lady Sango. We will need all of our strength tomorrow." Azamuku agreed and sat down on the ground. Sango and Kagome nodded and followed his example. Sesshoumaru sat near Kagome and whispered in her ear.
"Check the surrounding area as those two - he nodded in their direction - are useless at the moment. I'll start the fire while you are at it."
Kagome nodded as she was in no mood to argue. She stood up and jumped high in the trees. Sesshoumaru looked at the noisy boys and his eyebrow twitched. He stood up and glared at them.
"SILENCE!!!" He snapped. Kouga and Inu Yasha stopped, their mouths open with shock. Sesshoumaru smirked at their actions. 'I bet Kagome never shouted at them before, with her personality it would be impossible.'
"As you two don't know where to put your energy go in the forest and find wood for the campfire." They wanted to object but Sesshoumaru beat them to it. "NOW or you'll be left without dinner." Before he would say the magic word the two left in a hurry as not to anger Kagome further.
"Wow. You trained them well." Azamuku told Kagome with amusement visible in his eyes.
"Feh." Crossing her arms Kagome sat down and after looking through her bag found the dinner she was looking for.
"Sango, Miroku take the food and cook it, while I'll put the safe barrier around our camp so no demons would be able to sneak here tonight." With that Sesshoumaru stood up and went in circle around their camp muttering spells of protection. The area around them shined with pale blue light. 'Ok. It's done. Now I can relax. Damn this body I feel so weak.' He sat near the tree and tried to relax his sore muscles. He had few minutes before the hell broke.
After Kouga and Inu Yasha gathered wood they returned to the camp but when they got near they were thrown by force in the center of the resting place. (My favorite, lovely cursing heap. Ah! I love my job.) Everyone looked at them in shock.
"And what dare say you were doing?" Miroku inquired with curiosity.
"Hmp". Was all he received from the heap in front of him. Suddenly a figure flew past them and smashed in to the already fallen boys. The person was Sesshoumaru. Ever stoic and always calm Lord was cursing and promising death who ever did this. Sesshoumaru sweat dropped. 'I couldn't have made a mistake could I ?' The demons and a hanoy managed to get up and untangle themselves. Sesshoumaru inched away from them. He wanted to run away from them before the realization struck them. They all turned and looked at him.
"I'm going to take a bath. Bye." With that he quickly turned and ran toward the near hot springs. Leaving behind a very angry and pissed off trio.
"S … KAGOME GET YOUR BUTT RIGTH BACK OR YOU'LL NEVER SEE TOMORROW!!!" Sesshoumaru shouted to the retreating Kagome's back. He jumped ready to slice her but he wasn't able to cross the barrier and was tossed back in the center knocking two boys with him. Again the nice heap was formed on the ground. Sango and Miroku calmly collected all the wood and built the fire. They prepared all the ingredients and started cooking. Azamuku soon joined them as he got bored and had nothing better to do. The trio still stood and shot death glares toward each other never noticing a thing around them. And to cool down they decided to try and kick each other. Still they've been careful as not to come near the barrier and not being smashed and tossed in the center. They needed to release their frustration as the culprit was unreachable at the moment.
In the mean time Sesshoumaru found hot spring and already got in. the water was warm and his muscles relaxed instantly.
'It's so good. I hope I'll live through the next encounter with my 'friends'. I wonder how did that happened. Curse my miko ability.' He singed and took a dip. He washed his hair and prepared to get out when a very ugly youkai jumped from the bushes and landed on the huge rock near the water. He was bright pink with huge round ears on his head. One gold ring was hanging in his right ear-lobe. He was covered with thin layer of fur. He roared and looked at the girl in front of him in the water. Sesshoumaru stood still quickly thinking about any possible ways to retreat as he forgot his bows and arrows again. 'Stupid, stupid, stupid.' He smacked himself in his head.
The strange youkai stood straight and spoke in a high pitched voice.
"Greetings fair maiden. My name is Cheburashka. I can see you are in depression. Tell me how can I help and lift your spirit." He smiled. But from his one smile Sesshoumaru grimaced. 'Who is this freak?' For safety he moved farther from the standing pink youkai. 'Why pink?' he thought eyeing the creature with suspicion.
"No need to be scared Pretty Lady. I will protect you from the evil." He jumped down from the rock on the ground near the pile of Sesshoumaru's clothes. He stood there looking at Sesshoumaru as if waiting for something. The water was chilly ad Sesshoumaru began to freeze and his teeth to chatter. Cheburashka stood unmoving.
"Aren't you freezing my lady? You should get out of the water or you'll catch cold." He suggested helpfully.
"Hn. Turn around and I suggest you to keep your eyes closed." Sesshoumaru warned him. 'How I'm going to get rid of him. Lady. Hmp. I'll show him a Lady.' When Cheburashka turned around Sesshoumaru quickly climbed out of the spring and put his cloths on. When he barely finished Cheburashka turned around and with happy cry danced around very annoyed girl.
"Now let's go and I'll kill the demons for you in the name of LOVE & PEACE!!!" with that he tossed shocked Sesshoumaru on his shoulder and sprinted deeper in the forest. First Sesshoumaru tried to kick, then screamed but finally he decided to keep quite and wait.
After some minutes they arrived at the camping spot where others were sitting around the fire.
At the camp when the dinner was ready Miroku called the others to join him. Demons and a hanoy after a good fight calmed down and sat around the fire.
"We need to find Kagome before we start." Sango told them. "And I know you all are not capable to do it so I'll go and get her." as she stood up and prepared to leave there was a loud crash and a strange looking creature jumped in the camp circle. It straitened up and looked around. At the sight of him Kagome felt dizzy. She sure met this one before but it was in her time and on TV. And now she saw it standing here before her. Something moved on his shoulder and a very familiar voice was heard.
"Put me down or I'll purify you in an instant you pink monkey."
"As My lady wishes."
Cheburashka dropped Sesshoumaru on the ground. Everybody had their mouths wide open.
"When I said put me down I didn't mean you to drop me." Sesshoumaru hissed from the ground but Cheburashka already switched his attention to the group around the fire. He pointed his big pink fluffy finger at them.
"CREATURES OF EVIL I'M GOING TO GET RID THIS WORLD OF YOUR DARK DEEDS!!! PRAY AND MAYBE YOUR SOULS WOULD BE FORGIVEN FOR …" He never finished as Inu Yasha, Kouga and Azamuku hit him and sent him flying several meters. Kagome, Sesshoumaru, Sango and Miroku watched calmly as the protector of peace was kicked out of the camp area.
"Let's eat before our dinner gets cold." Sesshoumaru told them sitting near the fire and clapping his hands with joy. Kagome followed him sitting very close to him in case he pink one will return. Miroku quickly followed and when Sango was preparing to sit he helped her but ended up only uncosious and with a red mark on his cheek. Sango sat far away from him in case he will get any other perverted ideas. Inu Yasha and Kouga growled at Sesshoumaru at first but decided not to fight in front of Kagome so they sat near Sango and watched every move Sesshoumaru did. Kagome picked up the cup with ramen first. The others did the same. When they prepared to take first sip Cheburashka jumped out of the bushes again.
"DEMONS!!! YOUR TIME HAS COME. PREPARE TO MEET YOUR FATE!!!" At his last statement Kagome and Sesshoumaru stood quietly and together at the same time punched the annoying 'Knight of justice'.
"Fate?" Kagome growled. "I will gladly show you your fate pink fur ball."
"Today is your unlucky day." Sesshoumaru took his bows and arrows while Kagome unleashed her sword. Cheburashka gulped nervously.
"It's a pity there is no Pikachu to deal with you." Kagome muttered in annoyance flexing her claws.
"Pika?" Cheburashka asked not believing his ears. "Where?" he looked around. Kagome had an idea while others had no idea what's going on.
"Have you lost him? I think I saw him in the Eastern Lands several weeks ago." She looked closely at the pink monkey.
"WHAT?!!! HOW COULD HE LEFT ME AND GO THERE WITHOUT ME? I MISS HIM SOOOO MUCH!!!" Cheburashka sniffed. "I need to find him. Farewell my friends. We will meet again soon." With that he jumped and disappeared between the trees. The silence covered the entire group.
"Khe. Coward." Inu Yasha crossed his arms and snorted in disgust.
"Who was that?" Miroku asked everybody when the silence covered the group again.
"No idea." Sesshoumaru and Kagome answered at the same time. They glared at each other.
"I think we should finish our already cold ramen." Sango eyed the pot with pity as the food they prepared cooled down.
Finally the entire group managed to sit and eat without any further interruptions. After they had dinner they cleaned the mess and prepared for the sleep. Kagome and Sango were washing the dishes at the spring while boys were preparing their sleeping arrangements. Inu Yasha took his usual place on the tree branch while Kouga and Miroku made themselves comfortable leaning on the tree. Sesshoumaru after some pondering went after the girls in the forest. (He managed to pass the barrier without any problems as Cheburashka earlier. I don't know how but he managed. sing) When Kagome came near the spring she heard Sango asking Sesshoumaru about earlier. She came out of the shadows and came closer. Sesshoumaru sensed her and turned around with a dirty pot in his hands.
"What are you doing here?" He asked putting his pot aside.
"I need to talk to you." Sesshoumaru grabbed Kagome's hand and dragged her far in the woods telling Sango to finish cleaning the dishes and they will meet back at the camp later. With that the pair disappeared. Sango huffed but complied. After she finished cleaning she took all the items and returned to the camp. Under question stares she put the stuff away.
"They are talking and will return later." Without any other words she rolled her sleeping bag and went to sleep with her back to the fire.
"They?" Kouga asked Sango after the received information sank in his brain.
"Sesshoumaru-sama and Kagome." Sango answered sleepily. She yawned and fell asleep.
"WHAT?!" Inu Yasha upon hearing this nearly dropped from his branch. Luckily he caught himself in the last second. 'That bastard.' He prepared to run after them but the protection shield activated and he was tossed in the center again. 'Damn.' But as he didn't have another choice he decided to sit and wait and then give his 'brother' a peace of his mind. While dusting himself he sat on his branch again listening for any sounds around him.
In the forest Kagome stopped releasing Sesshoumaru's hand.
"What now wench?" Sesshoumaru asked tiredly. They all had a long day and now as he was in human body he was exhausted.
"I want to speak to you about Azumaku." Kagome decided to let the 'wench' slip for now as she noticed how Sesshoumaru was worn out. She understood him because she knew this kind of journeys well enough.
"What about him?"
"I don't like him. When he looks at me it gave me creeps." Kagome shuddered upon remembering.
"You may be right but we just need to wait and see. Keep your guard and don't turn your back because he maybe the right person to use the opening and kill you. Now that you mentioned his looks I could have sworn I have seen something familiar but I can't remember." Sesshoumaru sat on the rock and rubbed his chin in deep thought.
"Do you think he is one of the real fates?"
"He sure is powerful but 'those fates', they usually act different."
"I agree. They always show connections between my time and this one, or at least they make comments about our curse. And Azamuku if he came to help he didn't tell us anything how to lift the curse as if he doesn't know anything about it."
"Hm." Sesshoumaru sat there and thought about all the possibilities.
"What are we going to do?" Kagome asked sitting near him on the ground and drew her knees closer to her chest.
"We?" Sesshoumaru arched his eyebrow and looked with amusement at Kagome.
"Yes we. What are we going to do?" Kagome crossed her arms impatiently. 'I knew he just can't have a serious conversation without mocking me.' He looked at him with narrowed eyes. Sesshoumaru noticed that Kagome would kill him if he would give her the plan this instant. The problem was he didn't know what to do either but he would never admit that. He singed. 'Why me?' he asked silently the skies. But as usual he never received any answers. He looked at the waiting Kagome.
"We wait yawn and see what yawn we … could … do." The exhaustion took him over and he collapsed in Kagome's arms. 'That jerk always leaves me to come up with something, although he might be right. Let's wait and see.' She yawned and gently picked Sesshoumaru up and returned to the camp for the night rest. When she came she saw everybody asleep. She looked around. Sesshoumaru uncosiously snuggled closer to Kagome while he shivered slightly. Kagome wrapped him in her tail providing him with warm. Sesshoumaru relaxed. The night was chilly and as Kagome couldn't find Sesshoumaru's sleeping bag just took him with her jumping on the branch. There she made herself comfortable never letting go of Sesshoumaru. She eyed her human body in her arms. 'First not to forget when I'll wake up and drop both of us, he won't let me live after that, and second - sing when everything is over defenetly drop some kilos.' With that last thought she drifted to the dream land.
End of chapter.
Another chapter is finally finished. Phew!!!
Thank you all for your wonderfull reviews.
Now I have some explanations to write.
Cheburashka is the famous russian tv character. Not long ago in japan it was decided to use this character and with big changes the anime was made Pokemon. Cheburashka is a sort of small brown monkey with big round ears. In Russian cartoon Cheburasha together with his friend a crocodile Gena bring happiness and songs to the children around the world.
Azamuku in japanese means to decieve, to lie.(I think.)
