Thank you who reviewed. I am feeling a little better right now, blah. I have a ton of homework and I am a bit stressed so I will just type this as quick as I can. Questions are answered after the chapter (I only answered questions that won't spoil the story much).
DISCLAIMER: I don't own InuYasha and neither do you. That is all I have to say right now...
Chapter 21: The Crew
Kagome and Sango were chatting about the past few weeks in front of the hut. Kirara was on Sango's lap with her three. Sango stroke her ears while Shippo was riding on Fubuki. InuYasha was chasing them because they woke him up from his nap. Kaede was researching spells while Sesshomaru would glare at any villager who dared stare at him. He strolled outside the village for a bit and saw a couple of people coming. He squinted his eyes but they're still too far. When they were in view he recognize then right away. "The monk and the dead miko." He looked closer to see Kikyo holding a child. He ignored them,just turned around and looked at the ground. "Great more company..."
"Hey, InuYasha, you are not going to say hi?!"
Sesshomaru instantly stopped and gritted his teeth. "How dare he Think that I could be..." He turned his head and glared at them "I'm not InuYasha." He coldly stated.
"Sesshomaru! Kikyo stay back! I'll take care of him!"
Sesshomaru rolled his eyes and continued to walk. "Stupid monk."
"Stop demon! Why are you here?!"
"It's none of your concern monk." He said with out turning around. His anger was rising. "Why don't you take your dead miko and child and leave me. They are started to reek."
"I am not dead anymore!" Kikyo said as she held on to her child. "If I had my arrows, I will simply depose you. You're lucky that my son is here, demon."
He mentally glared at them. "I'm not in the mood."
Miroku held his staff and got a couple of sutras out. "Don't even dare step another foot, Demon."
"Please, you honestly think that you can stop me." He was playing along for the moment. "I can easily rip you apart with my claws." He took a step forward and heard and enchantment yelled out. He turned his head and was hit in the head with the sutra.
InuYasha came just in time to see what happen. "It looks good on you."
"Shut up, half breed."
Miroku itched his head in confusion. "Odd, why didn't it work? You were supposed to be engulf in flames."
Sesshomaru took the piece of paper off and crumbled it. "Even if I was a demon, it still wouldn't have worked." He stormed away.
"What?"
"I'll tell you later." InuYasha said as they walked up to him. "Guess who is here?"
"Who?"
"Sango."
"It seems like everyone is here." Miroku said as he took Kikyo's hand and walked inside the village.
Sango was alone since Kagome had to do something. She saw Sesshomaru storming toward her direction. "What's up with you."
"Do I look like InuYasha!?" He blurted out. "Answer me now!"
"Well... You sort of do in some ways. Why do you ask?"
"Your old comrade thought I was him until he found out who I was and threw this at me!" He threw the piece of crumple paper at her.
"Miroku is here!" She patted Kirara's head to motion her to get off. "Everyone is finally together again." She ran past Sesshomaru and saw them coming. There they were walking with InuYasha. She ran up to them and was greeted with a hug.
Later on that night all of them were inside the hut except Sesshomaru. He didn't want to hear his brother brag and didn't want to see a certain monk at the moment. He Was finally here in the village and should be somewhat pleased to be, but he wasn't. Something was missing. "Fuck, I'm turning soft." He cursed under his breath. "Is this what the witch wanted?" He thought about the past few days, especially an argument he had with Sango.
Flashback
"Can you ever be nice for once?"
"Nice?"
"Well, you are not getting anywhere in life, Jackass!"
"..."
"You're hopeless."
"I've been like this all these years and look where it got me. It earned me respect, and not being nice."
"Right. All it got you was being turned in to a human..."
End of flashbackHe looked up at the crescent in the sky. There was a small breeze in the air. He knew tomorrow would be a new moon. The moon always seemed to relax him no matter how dark it was. He looked at it until he heard a soft voice. "Hey." It was her.
"What do you want?" He didn't take his eyes off the moon.
"I came out to tell you it's time to eat."
"I'm not hungry."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I am." He finally turned to her. "Why are you being nice? Something is not right. Are you guys planning something inside there?"
She sighed. "No, I have learned to tolerate you and some of your ways since you traveled with me for the past few days." She looked up at him. He had his usual mask on. "Do you ever smile?"
"No."
"Why?"
"Because I never do anymore."
"Anymore?" the breeze picked up. Sango Shivered. "So you don't smile. Have you ever cried or expressed any emotion like give someone a hug?"
"A hug?"
"Yes a hug."
"Why would I give someone or something a hug?"
"Every needs a hug once in a while. Even the strongest and weakest of beast need one."
He snorted.
She shook head. "You're hopeless." She turned around and retreated in to the hut.
Sesshomaru stood there. "Emotions." He has been like this for so long he barely remembered the last time he smiled. But he did remember when he cried. It was when he found out that his mother was dead and then his hatred for humans grew.
Q/A:
1. Does every one has or going to have a kid except Sango? And my response is yes, but that will come into play later, I think... (Looks ahead at chapter 39).
2. Where is Kirara's mate? I don't have a good enough answer yet. I think I will answer it later...
Note: I was again bored when I wrote this chapter.
R&R! I am really close!
