Save Me Chapter 2; A Wicked Scheme
*----*
"Come on, Inuyasha! Don't take it so personally!"
Kagome peered down the well at Inuyasha.
"What's he so upset over?" Shippo, the fox kitsune, asked Kagome. He hopped from the frame of the well to Kagome's shoulder.
Kagome sighed, "He's just being his typical self." Then she shouted back down the well, "Seriously, Inuyasha! What's your problem!?"
Inuyasha, who was sitting in a corner at the bottom of the well with his arms folded, growled in return, "She thinks I'm some sort of pervert!"
Kagome screeched in frustration. (I should just 'sit' him right now,) she thought. Instead, she tried the logical way of settling this; through conversation. "No she doesn't! She's just concerned, that's all!"
Bad choice of words.
"CONCERNED?" he spat.
Kagome groaned and flumped onto the ground. She closed her eyes in annoyance. (He took that the wrong way.)
"Oh, so now she's CONCERNED that you're with me? Does she think I'm gonna-"
"JUST SIT! SHUT UP!"
BAM.
There was a moan from inside the well. Shippo jumped back to the frame and stared down into darkness. "Inuyasha? You okay?"
Silence. Kagome realized her mistake. During the argument, she'd forgotten that Inuyasha was in his human form. . . (Oops.)
A few seconds passed.
"Ow. . . KAGOOMMEE!!!" fumed Inuyasha.
"Hey, Kagome, Inuyasha sounds really ticked off. I thought he was used to you sitting him. Hm?" He looked at Kagome. She was quiet, almost as if she was scared.
"KAGOME! GET DOWN HERE, NOW!" Inuyasha continued to growl. "COME HERE!"
Kagome stood up and smiled sweetly down the well at Inuyasha. "Heh, you can get out on your own. . . right? Heh. . ."
"Just get down here," he grumbled through gritted teeth. "I need to speak with you. . ."
Kagome gulped. "Hey, Shippo, why don't you go tell Sango and Miroku that we're back, okay?" Kagome said shakily.
"Are you sure, Kagome?" Shippo asked.
"KAGOME!" Inuyasha roared.
"Yes, Shippo! Hurry!" Kagome replied to Shippo. She took a deep breath and climbed down the well.
*MEANWHILE*
A white-haired demon sat in a tree near the Bone-Eater's Well. He studied Inuyasha and the human girl he cared for so deeply. They had just climbed back out of the well. He'd been listening to them argue for some time now, and man, were they ever so annoying.
"Jaken," the demon growled to a small demon on the ground.
"Yes, Milord?" the demon called Jaken replied.
"This plan of yours is beneath me." He looked back at the arguing humans. "It will only waste my time. I could take him right now, while he is vulnerable."
"B-but, Lord Sesshomaru, that would be unwise. Would you honestly slay those humans in front of an orphan child?"
Sesshomaru narrowed his eyes and watched the human girl picking flowers behind Jaken.
"My lord, I don't understand why you allowed her to travel with us, she only slows us down. Why don't you abandon her somewhere?"
Sesshomaru stared at Jaken with anger. "Do you DARE question my decisions?" He said it calmly, but there was still a hint of rage in his voice.
Jaken bowed in apology. "Forgive me, that was most uncalled for."
Sesshomaru looked back at the humans. The girl named Kagome had just yelled 'sit', and Inuyasha fell flat on his face. Kagome huffed and left the well, heading straight for the forest where Sesshomaru was.
"Jaken, take Rin back with Ah and Un," Sesshomaru ordered. "I will be there shortly."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Miroku, KNOCK IT OFF!"
Shippo stopped running and looked around. (Miroku and Sango must be close by,) he thought. (Sango is already yelling at him.)
But actually, she was GIGGLING.
"Hee hee. . .stop that," she giggled again.
"Huh?" Shippo was confused. Normally, there would be smacks and shouting being heard, not laughing.
He came to the village and saw Miroku and Sango walking together toward Kaede's hut. Miroku was wrapping his arm around her waist and flirting big time. He slid his hand down her back and groped her butt. She turned around with a huge smile on her face; but then she spotted Shippo.
SMACK.
"Get your hands off me, you sick pervert!" she snapped, slapping Miroku hard on the face. "Don't ever touch me again!" She left him standing there, bewildered, as she walked to Kaede's hut with Kirara on her shoulder.
Miroku was stunned. He looked around and saw little Shippo standing by the forest. "Ah. . ." Miroku followed Sango into the hut.
"Wait, you guys!" Shippo shouted after them, forgetting about what just happened. He ran into the hut with them. "I wanted to tell you that Inuyasha and Kagome are back."
Sango looked up from playing with Kirara by the fire. Miroku sat down across from Sango and next to the sleeping Kaede. He smirked. "Oh, so he's finally back from his lovely session with Kagome and her-"
CLOMP.
Sango threw a piece of wood at his head and he fell over. "There are children in the room. . ." she muttered. Miroku looked around.
"I only see one," he replied.
Another piece of wood was thrown at his head. "Very funny," Sango snapped.
Shippo continued, "Anyway, they're in a fight again."
Miroku rubbed his head. "I'm sure Kagome can take care of herself."
"But he's human and he's really ticked off because Kagome told him to sit."
Miroku seemed careless. "I am sure that they will settle it like they always do."
"Miroku, I think Shippo is trying to get us to help her, don't you see that?" Sango said.
"I just don't want her going home again," Shippo whined, ready to cry. He pouted at Miroku, and Miroku gave in to those pitiful eyes.
"Alright, let's go."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kagome stomped through the trees and bushes, red with anger. "Why do I even bother with you, Inuyasha?" she mumbled to herself. She heard a rustle above her and looked up. She stopped walking and saw a flash of white. At first, she thought it was Inuyasha, but then she remembered he currently had BLACK hair. . .
She was getting scared. Deciding it wasn't a good idea to stick around all alone, she turned back to Inuyasha and started running to him. He was just coming into view, still sprawled on the floor. She was getting ready to shout out to him when the flash of white stopped right in front of her.
She gasped.
Without a word, the man wrapped his arm around her and covered her mouth. Then he sprang from the scene so quickly that not even a leaf rustled.
*~*~*~*~*~*
Inuyasha still laid flat on the ground. It hurt too much to get up. He heard footsteps approaching. "KAGOME!" he yelled to the person standing next to him. "WHY WON'T YOU STOP-" He paused, looking up. That wasn't Kagome. . .
"You're always so reckless," the woman next to him said. "Where is Kagome, anyway?"
"Oh, Sango," Inuyasha stumbled. He sat up. "What do ya mean, 'where's Kagome'? She just left for the village."
Miroku stood next to Sango. "No she didn't. She never came to the village."
Inuyasha was in the process of dusting himself off when Miroku's words hit him like an arrow. He turned sharply. "What? I swear that that's where she went."
They looked around. The sun was starting to rise.
"Inuyasha, are you sure she didn't go into the well?" Miroku asked seriously. "Perhaps you should go check."
Inuyasha flew to the well and looked down. "No, she didn't. This isn't the way she went." He ran in the direction that he had seen Kagome heading in. The sun was rising higher now, and Inuyasha's claws started to grow back. His eyes turned gold, his hair turned white again, and his dog-ears returned. Coming to an abrupt halt, he took a deep breath in.
Sango and Miroku caught up to him.
"What is it?" Sango whispered.
Inuyasha growled.
"Sesshomaru."
