Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha....uh duh....
Chapter 15:
Kagome flopped her body onto the soft bed and sighed. She hoped Inuyasha was coming for her. 'Of course he is; he loves me, right?'
Inuyasha twitched his ears. *Am I hearing things? Was that, her?* He squinted his eyes and looked around. "Inuyasha, are you sure you're alright?" Miroku asked when he saw the look of confusion on the hanyou's face again. Inuyasha knew something was up, but he decided to keep it to himself; his friends still didn't know he could hear their thoughts and he planned on keeping it that way.
"Nothing, but I think we're making some good ground. Her scent hasn't faded completely yet. We must hurry before he does anything, that bastard." Inuyasha growled. His comrades nodded and Kirara quickened her pace, following the hanyou.
A knock was heard at the miko's room. "Come in." She said, almost frightened, which she had every right to be scared. The young boy walked in, bringing a cup of tea to her. She looked at him cautiously. Was he under Naraku's control? "Ummm, arigatou." She took a sip from the cup, wearily.
"It's not poisoned." Kohaku smiled. She smiled back and was warmed by his presence. Kagome took one last gulp and finished the tea. She handed it back to him.
"Ne, Kohaku?" Just then, before she could ask any questions, Naraku entered the room casually. Kagome gulped. 'Oh great.'
"I have found a lead on a shard; you're coming with me." He grabbed her broken limb. She retracted it sharply and cursed.
"Bastard, remember, you hurt that arm." She narrowed her eyes at him. He bowed as a form of an apology. She only nodded in return with a glare plastered on her face.
"Shall we?" He headed out of the room; she followed. 'Where are you, Inuyasha?'
The group sprinted in the path that housed Naraku's scent. Inuyasha occasionally heard the girl, but her voice was muffled. *Why am I able to hear her; she's far out of range for me to hear her thoughts, right?* The monk was feeling the tension in the group's atmosphere, so, he decided to lighten the mood.
"Houshi-sama! And at a time like this?!" Sango had slapped the monk after he decided to fondle her hind quarters once again. 'I knew that would lighten the mood.' He smiled. Inuyasha having heard this, blurted something out he shouldn't have.
"Lighten the mood, my ass! It only causes more stress." Miroku stared wide-eyed at the hanyou. Inuyasha, realizing what he had just said, stopped dead in his tracks, as did the cat.
"You...." Miroku gawked. "You can read thoughts? You knew I said that?" Inuyasha gulped.
"What are you talking about, you moron. Of course I can't." He said in a tone that sounded so much like a false statement.
"What was I thinking, Inuyasha? Tell me the exact line in my head." Miroku studied the embarrassed dog demon.
"How the hell would I know?! We don't have time for this!"
"Tell me Inuyasha; we're not going anywhere until you tell me."
"Why does it matter, baka?!"
"Oh so you can." The monk smirked. Inuyasha knew the cat was outta the bag and now he had no chance of covering this one up. Sango was just staring at the two wondering what in the world was Miroku thinking?
"How did this happen, Inuyasha?" Inuyasha gritted his teeth and decided to briefly tell them.
"Remember that damn harpy?" They nodded, "When she screeched, it messed up my hearing. Now I can hear all of your thoughts." They both blinked and then the monk smirked.
"Okay so I'll think something and you repeat it back to me."
"This isn't a game and I don't hafta!" 'Ahhh, so the dog doesn't want to take up the challenge.' Inuyasha snarled. Miroku pushed his luck further, trying to frustrate the hanyou. 'We all know what those two were doing in the forest earlier, you sly dog.' Inuyasha grunted. "Fine you just thought: We all know what those two were doing in the forest earlier, you sly dog. Happy, bastard?" He seethed. Miroku was stunned to say the least. Sango sat on Kirara, shaking her head. 'What was he thinking saying something like that?' "Want me to prove it to you too, Sango? You just thought: What was he thinking saying something like that?" Sango covered her mouth; this was dangerous, but she decided to test her theory. 'I love Houshi-sama's groping.' Inuyasha smirked; he could have some fun with this. "Want me to say that thought aloud?" She gasped as he whispered her exact words in her ear.
"Ok, ok! I believe him! Let's go!" She hurriedly urged for the cat to go, but the monk was too quick and hopped on.
"What was it that you were thinking, Lady Sango?" Miroku smiled deviously.
"None of your business." She huffed as they traveled along. Inuyasha smiled, even through the turmoil of their mission to rescue his mate. 'Maybe I should test my luck.'
"Don't even try, you hentai." Miroku retracted his hand. Sango smiled and stuck out her tongue at him. He sighed and dropped his head. His secret was out, but for some reason Inuyasha didn't care. Actually, he found it rather comical.
Kagome was set on Kagura's feather and they fluttered after Naraku's lead. Suddenly she sensed another shard, but this one was heavily tainted, even more that Naraku's ball of Shikon. 'Is that even possible?' Kagura noticed the young miko's face and alerted Naraku. "The girl has sensed something!" He stared back at her and smirked.
"Good, now where is it?" She glared at him. "You promised to help, miko." He glided over to her and twisted her bad arm; she squealed in pain. "I'll break it even further and worse if you don't tell me." She winced and gritted her teeth. 'Help! Inuyasha!'
Inuyasha's ears perked. "Kagome! Kagome?!" He called, frantically searching the surrounding forest.
"Inuyasha, what is it?" Sango questioned.
"She's screaming, pain...I'm sensing her pain! Kagome?!"
Hehe...cliffy, sorry couldn't help myself. Sorry it was rather short; writer's block just won't leave me alone! Well, I hope you enjoyed this!
