I do not own Inuyasha, so don't sue me.
Wow, wow, WOW! I haven't updated in a LOOOOOONG time. Yikes. ;; I am SO sorry to you guys for taking so long. I can understand how annoying that is. Anyway, this is a chapter I had started working on before I went on my little hiatus. I've sorta stopped doing stuff with Inuyasha and started working on my OWN stuff. I'll need to do some stuff on Fiction Press or something. shrug Anyway, enjoy.
Anyway, let me get started on this next chapter so that my people can have something to look forward to.
The Island
Chapter Five: Dropping In
The intense mood of the situation caused everyone to become silent, Inuyasha's face breaking into a wide grin as he looked this newfound sight up and down as if she'd vanish again. This was too good to be true. His ears swiveled towards her, his eyes unable to break away from her inquisitive stare. And it was, indeed, a persistent stare as she finally moved from her crouched position to look him dead in the eyes.
Miroku, however, was doing more than staring. As he cocked his head to the side at her low-cut and scanty clothing, you could almost count the seconds as his hand moved up and began to make its journey towards the backside of this new female. Sango bristled, knocking him flat on his face before any damage could be done by his wandering hands.
Breaking the stare finally left
Inuyasha dazed and confused, almost as if he had been in a trance a moment before. He shook his head to clear it, his attention focused on something else.
Kagome squealed with delight as her blue-gray eyes grasped her sister within them, and she charged forward, catching her in her tight grip and hugging her. Sango, as much as she'd like to act mortified by the situation, was actually very happy to see her little sister under the circumstances.
"It's…um…nice to see you too, Kagome." she spoke through her mind, patting Kagome's back hesitantly. Kagome just hugged tighter, letting her go and then jumping back to start some quick chatter in their vernacular language, Kagome bouncing around, full of energy as they seemed to have a small conversation.
Inuyasha and the rest of the people in the camp sat with their jaws to the floor. Myouga's head cocked to the side like a confused dog at the sight of her wings, his hands on his cane gripping uncontrollably.
Miroku was still semi-unconscious from the blow to the head given by Sango moments before, but the words seemed to go in one ear and out the other, so it seemed. Shippo was no different, except for the fact that he had immediately bounced forward, tugging at Kagome's wings with an unadulterated curiosity. Kagome broke the conversation with Sango, turning her attention to Shippo and smiling, cocking her head to the side to inspect him.
She then smiled, pulling him close to her in a hug, or more of the equivalent of 'So cute!' in body language. Shippo blinked, as did the rest of the group, before she stood, looking around.
"So…where's the food?" she asked Sango. Sango rolled her eyes, rubbing her face and then looking over to the rest of the group with an apologetic expression.
"Sorry, guys. This is Kagome. She's my sister." she said, trying to explain things as logically as possible. This was a hard thing to do, mind you.
Miroku looked confused.
"She can't be. She has…well…wings!" he said, throwing his hands up in the air exasperatedly. Sango seemed to be very frustrated by the entire situation as well, ignoring his obvious observation on favor of looking to Kagome with an accusing glint in her eyes.
"You finally did it this time, Kagome. Goddamn it, I was going to steer them away from here…" she thought in a growl, her face contorted into an angry expression. Kagome blew a strand of hair from her forehead, rolling her eyes and folding her arms.
"So I come to see my sister and her new friends, and this is how I'm welcomed? How nice of you. I feel so loved." she retorted, her eyes flicking back to Inuyasha's ears. Inuyasha's face seemed to light up as he was again in her line of sight, his ears twisting towards her in effect. Kagome smiled brightly, suddenly popping up in front of him and rubbing his ears with her hands.
Inuyasha was surprised, but looked to Miroku with an almost giddy expression.
"Can you believe this!" he asked, his ears turning back and flattening against his head. Kagome pouted, folding her arms, her wings dispensing into her back as they had the first time they had…"met". It seemed that she was much more comfortable in this atmosphere than she let on. Sango, however, was not.
"Kagome, leave! I've told you before to stay away from humans…"she shouted in her mind, her hands fisting.
Kagome looked to Inuyasha with a grin, and then looked back to Sango when he began to blush.
"But he isn't human." she said, blushing as well. What was this feeling? She was red in the face whenever she looked at him like that, and vice-versa. Sango growled.
"Oh no, I'm sorry, he's not human. He's worse."
The entire crew of humans had their heads cocked to the side at all of this, of course not hearing or seeing anything but the swishing of Kagome's hair as she turned, and the looks of dangerous ferocity that Sango continued to pass her.
"What's going on?" Miroku asked with a raised brow as Shippo hid behind his leg. Both women flinched and then turned to smile innocently. It was Sango who spoke first.
"Well, seeing as you all have met my baby sister, Kagome, she will be leaving now." A good tug on her pinion feathers that had her yowling did the trick, and she was soon in the air. More of a predatory response than anything else, mind you.
Inuyasha jumped and looked at the sky. "No! She can't leave! I have so many things I want to ask her!" he said, though he then blushed when he realized what he had said.
"I-I mean t-to complete my research. Dumb girl…"
Okay, well, that wasn't MUCH of an update. Had to go through the whole thing and erase the stupid HTML code that was clogging everything up. Took FOREVER. Blech. Oh well. Sorry for the shortness. And I'm not sure I'll be continuing these. I'm not a huge fan of the Inuyasha-man anymore. But I'll try. I really will.
