Sorry.
I'm glad you like how i ended the last chapter. i thought it was funny when i wrote it. I decided i needed to lighten it all up a bit.
here's your chapter.
Kaouru was helped to her feet by Rei, then helped down the hallway by the two of them to the bathroom. Rei waited outside, of course, while Sango helped Kaouru do her business. The two were still chuckling when Inuyasha got back.
"What's soo funny?" He demanded as kaouru dug in.
"Nothing, inuyasha, nothing at all." Sango said, grinning.
"Shikara!" Kaouru said interrupting them.
"Kao! you're alright! hey, that injury look cool under there?" Shikara asked, pointing to the bandages covering Kaouru.
"I don't know. I haven't seen it yet. I bet it's cool though." Kaouru said, munching on the soup. "Want some?" She asked, holding the spoon out to Shikara.
Shikara took one bite and grinned. "Hey, where'd you get this stuff?" She asked, her eyes wide with excitement.
"In mom's time. It's Misou soup with chicken and cheese." Kaouru said, taking another bite.
"remind me to get some of that." She said, then turned to Inuyasha. "I need to talk to you...privately." she said, motioning for them to walk outside.
reluctant to leave Kaouru's side, he followed Shikara into the yard.
"What is it?" he asked, staring at the door to the room they had just exited.
"Kagome's getting sick. It's miasma, i think. Ayame is sick with it. I'll bet that's where you'll find Naraku. I can't teleport you all there though. I'm too low on energy and it's been a long time since i replenished it." She said, referring to her true feeding habits.
"It's alright. Just watch over Kagome for me, okay? And don't tell her that Kaouru's been hurt. We don't need her finding out. At least not yet." He said, looking toward the burning tree.
"I understand. do you mind if i use a bit of energy from here to get me back?" She asked, referring to her habbits once again.
He held out a hand, "Go for it." he said, closing his eyes.
Her hand met his and energy flowed from him to her. Like hot white sparks, the energy flew around them to imbed inside of Shikara's body.
Inuyasha half collapsed, but caught himself quickly. "Careful, inu. We don't need you falling over." she said, bracing him. They walked back inside and he sat down against the wall to watch the people he had come to know in the past years.
Kikyou stared up at the sky, blood tainted and angry.
"Why am i back here?" she asked the soul gatherer as it swirled around her in midair.
it didn't answer her, but instead flew off toward the east, then turned back to her.
She closed her eyes and sent tendrils of power running over the ground, searching out the source of her reanimation.
She felt a familiar aura, dark, twisted, malicious, one word came to her mind. "Naraku."
Slightly growling, she headed off in the direction of the poisonous aura.
(I'd like to thank Teya (Not sure about the spelling) for the idea for this little segment.)
Sango was taking care of Kaouru when she felt a familiar sensation against her butt. Turning, she slapped the lecherous monk down.
Glaring at him, she turned back to Kaouru. "Lecherous monk." She snarled in Kaouru's ear. "Don't let him anywhere near your friends." She said, tying off the bandage.
"It's alright sango. He's only got eyes for you." Kaouru said, grinning at the demon slayer.
Huffing, Sango left the room.
Miroku sat and stared after her, rubbing his sore cheek, his eyes sparkling with mischef.
"What are you up to monk?" Inuyasha asked, staring at the black haired man.
"You will see, Inuyasha. It's a surprise." Miroku stood and walked outside, grin on his face.
Kaouru was asleep, now. But so was most of the village. Only those keeping the vigile to watch for approaching demons were awake. Passing silently but for the soft swoosh of cloth on the stone and dust walkways.
Inuyasha listened to the near-silence and was lulled into a dreaming sleep.
-
I was sitting on my pallet, listening to the rain patter on the roof. Miroku was sitting against the wall, his eyes closed. half asleep.
That runt, Shippou was curled up next to Kirara, both sound asleep.
Sango was sleeping in her pallet against the wall opposite the monk, hirakotsu resting silently against the wooden wall beside her.
Kagome was next to the fire, her hands out to catch the warmth. She looked as if she were blessing it.
The rain picked up again, it's steady drizzle turning into a downpour.
Kagome sneezed.
I turned to watch her, taking in the delicate curves of her body.
She sneezed again.
I shifted and took of the red fire-rat haori that covered my under-shirt. She sneezed again.
I wrapped the haori around her slender shoulders, hugging her to me slightly. "Here, wrap yourself up in this before you catch a cold." I told her softly, as to not wake the others.
She went into a violent sneezing fit. "Too late." I said, wrapping her slim shoulders in my arm, trying to still the jerking.
"No, i'm fine. Someone's probably gossiping about me." She said, going into another sneezing fit.
"Who would gossip about you?" I joked. She knew i joked, i could see it in her eyes.
I placed a calloused palm over her forehead, then placed it over my own. not much of a difference. "you don't have a fever, that's good at least." I relaxed a bit. She sneezed again. once, twice, then stopped, leaning into me.
"Thanks inuyasha." She said, her voice soft.
Rubing the back of my head, i felt a blush creep across my face as she lay on my shoulder.
I could feel eyes staring at me from behind and i gave them the finger. let them stare, it would be fine.
Closing my own eyes, i sat there until i felt kagome slip from my shoulder, back toward the floor. catching her easily, i pillowed up some hay and lay her down in my pallet. i slept against the wall, listening to the rain patter on the roof until it sang me to sleep.
Inuyasha woke suddenly; something was wrong. Something was very wrong.
I'm spoiling you guys with a long chapter. I got too into the dream to realize i was going over my normal type time.
I thank you all for bearing with me through the typing errors, belive me, i actually know how to spell, it's just hard to with this stupid arm. (Looks down at hand.) Oh crap! it's swollen now! Gotta go! Bye.
I'm okay, the spikes broke my fall! - crash bandicoot - twin sanity
