The kinezumi sat down on Kagome's shoulder.
"Where are we going?"
She held on to Kagome's shirt as Inuyasha ran. Shippo eyed the little youkai from his perch on Kagome's other shoulder.
"We're going to find someone..."
"Oh really!"
"Yep."
"You know..." Kome scratched her chin, "...there was this big jyaki I felt a while ago..."
Inuyasha stopped short. Kome screamed as Kagome caught her.
"Inuyasha!"
He grabbed the kinezumi, bringing her before him.
"Tell me Kome. Where did you feel this jyaki, and where did it go?"
"Last time I remember I felt it go somewhat north. Kinda toward Zao."
"You mean the mountin?" Kagome asked.
"Yep!"
"Inuyasha."
He looked up at Sango.
"Yeah?"
"Mout Zao is about another weeks moving..."
"Well, we're going to have to keep moving then right!"
Sango nodded, "Then lets get moving!"
"Right!" Inuyasha gave Kome to Kagome and they started to move again.
-
Inuyasha could tell that the humans of the group were getting rather tired. He could here the two small youkai on his back sleeping and Kagome was near slumber, but she kept herself awake. They had been moving two days straight to Mt. Zao and they needed to stop. The only time they stopped was when they needed to get a bathroom break. Inuyasha sighed. The humans had gone through two days straight with little water and food, and even his stomach was growling now. He could tell on Kagome, that getting no nutrients was making her weaker.
"Sango!" She peared over the side of the flying Kirara.
"Yeah!"
"Lets stop to make camp!"
She nodded, "Good idea!"
Inuyasha slowed when he found the right spot to settle. Sango flew down. Kohaku hopped off after Miroku, and Miroku helped Sango down. Kagome slid off Inuyasha easily. She put the two youkai down and took off her backpack, taking out her bed spread and setting the two there to sleep. She turned to Inuyasha.
"Get some wood and start a fire Kagome. I'll go hunting."
She nodded as he left. Her, Sango, and Miroku bent down to get some wood. Kohaku seemed very weak, so they insisted he did not help. Kagome piled the wood together and took out her matches, lighting the fire instantly. She looked over to Sango and Miroku. Sango was asleep, leaning on Miroku, as was Miroku, with his head on hers. Kohaku was on top of the transformed Kirara and was sleeping soundly. Kagome yawned as Inuyasha hopped out of the trees. He skinned the boar he caught and set it aside. He picked up a pot and turned to Kagome.
"Be right back."
She nodded. As soon as he left he returned. He put the pot on the fire and threw the meat in. Kagome went to go help but he slapped her hands away. She glared at him.
"Feh! Just rest wench. I can tell you'll be out of it any minute."
She looked down at her hands on her lap. She looked around at the group.
"Two new members of the group. It seems we're growing..."
Inuyasha smiled, "Yeah. That little Kome. It looks like Shippou has taken a liking to her these last two days."
"What are you talking about? All he's been was mean to her. They fight and-"
"I know two people who started out like that..."
She looked at him. He was staring at her intensely. She smiled.
"Yeah, I guess your right."
He laughed a bit. She looked at him, a little confused. That's the first time she's heard him laugh in awhile.
"Before you know it, he'll be calling her wench."
"Oi!"
"What? It's not a bad thing."
She smiled, "Except she probably will hate it."
He laughed, "Probably."
Kagome smiled. She loved when he laughed, it was so rare. But whenever it happen, he shinned. He fiddled around with the pot. She heard him grit his teeth. She looked over and saw him put his finger in his mouth.
"Inuyasha? Did you burn yourself?"
"Feh! It'll heal."
"Let me see it."
"Feh!"
He moved his arm away but she still caught it. She pulled his finger up to her eye level. She took out her first aid kit and bandaged, kissing it soon after. He blushed.
"Feh! You didn't have to kiss it."
"What? You can kiss mine, but I can't kiss yours..."
"Feh! That was once."
"And once is enough."
He smiled. He picked up the pot and took the meat out of it.He took the bowls Kagome had and put meat in each.
"Here."
Kagome took the bowl from his hand.
"OI! PEOPLE GET UP!"
They all were startled but awoke.
"Dinner's ready."
Everybody took a bowl. Sango took a bite.
"Mmm. Who made this?"
Inuyasha blushed when Kagome said it was him.
"Well that something new..."
"What does that mean monk!"
Miroku put up his hands, "I'm not saying it's bad. It's actually rather good."
"Feh!"
Off to the side Kome leaned over to Shippou.
"Do they always do that?" she whispered.
Shippou swallowed his food, "Pretty much. Are you going to eat?"
She poked the food with her finger, "What is this? It doesn't look like nuts to me..."
Shippou smiled, "Just eat it. It's good."
She picked up a peice and ate it. "MMM!"
"See told ya!"
She nodded with approval.
Kagome leaned to whisper in Inuyasha's ear.
"Looks like you got a new admirer. That's probably the first time she ate meat."
Inuyasha shugged, "Probably."
Inuyasha sniffed then growled.
"What is it Inuyasha?"
He took the hilt of his sword, standing as he did so.
A tall youkai, peircingpurple eyes, black hair, armor, and a blue cresent moon on his head came out of the bushes. He stared at the group.
"What are you doing on my lands?" he said with a solid stare.
