Chapter 7- Friend or foe?
Inuyasha walked outside to a near stream to freshen up.. The first ray of light creeped up the horizon. Wind blew and rustled the leaves on the ground. It was quite chilly in the morning. Or...
Inuyasha got into a fighting position. Up in the sky appeared Kagura on her feather. Inuyasha growled. It was just what he needed.
"What are you doing her you wench" he growled. Kagura smirked.
"Don't worry you half-breed I'm here bearing a message" she said.
"A message? From who"
"Naraku ofcourse" she said impatiently. Inuyasha glared at her. She glared right back. Kagura jumped off her feather and landed in front of him.
"I came to tell you that Naraku wants to battle you and the rest of your pathetic group."
"Well that's a first..."
"The battle would be in seven days at Devil's Peak."
"Devil's Peak? In seven days"
"Yes or don't you understand"
"So the coward wants to battle there, huh? Well we'll be there."
"Good." With a smirk on her face she vanished into the wind. Inuyasha felt kind of excited but afraid at the same time. Excited because he was going to finally beat Naraku and afraid because of the others. His friends...
Suddenly he heard a rattle in the forest near by. He really couldn't sense anything. Maybe it was the wind...Yeah the wind. His eyes caught on something in the trees. With curiousity he walked deepr into the forest. He still couldn't sense anything. Maybe Kagura was still by, but then why can't he sense her? Inuyasha was getting impatient.
"Whoever the hell you are, come out now" He growled.
Silence
"I'm not in the mood" Jeez was he going crazy?
Silence. He was about to leave when something or someone fell down a tree. It was girl. Inuyasha just stared. The branch was too weak and she fell. He mentally laugh.
Inuyasha cautiously walked towards her. She was unconcious. He gasped. She was a demon, too. She had doggy ears on her head just like him and claws. Now that she was unconcious he could sense her. She was a half demon also. Inuyasha was surprised. The girl wasn't moving. Maybe she was dead.
He got a closer look at her. She hit her head on the branch and was still breathing. He could just walk away, but then again...
He scooped her up and carried her bridal style. She was kind of light too. 'Kagome isn't going to like this,' he thought.
IN THE HUT
Kagome woke up and yawned. She didn't see Inuyasha anywhere. She looked to her right but Shippo and Kilala were sleeping. She looked to her left and there was, by miracle, Miroku sleeping with Sango. Whoa...
As soon as she stood up, Shippo woke up too.
"Good morning Kagome" He said all brightly.
Kagome picked him up and kissed his head. "Good morning to you too" she said and put him down. Suddenly a sharp slap filled the room. There was Sango standing up, looking all red, walking out the room. Then there was Miroku rubbing his abused cheek. Kagome walked to where Sango was.
"Er...good morning."
"Good morning Kagome! How are you feeling" She asked happily...too happy.
"Umm...great. Hey have you seen Inuyasha" But Sango nodded a no.
"Oh...ok." She felt a little sad and irritated at the same time. Miroku came.
"Sango my love...you still love me right?" He pouted. Sango didn't do anything.
"Sorry! I'll never do it again"
"That's what you said yesterday..."
"I mean it please"
"Come on Sango" joined Kagome.
"Kagome! Who side are you on"
"Go Kagome!"
"Fine." Sango said giving up but then laughed. Kagome started making breakfast. She made Ramen.
"I haven't seen Inuyasha" she said out loud.
"I wonder where he went" Sango said.
"Hey look" Miroku walked outside and the others followed. There came Inuyasha...carrying a girl.
Miroku was the first to say something as soon as he reached him.
"Inuyasha you really are a dog" Inuyasha hit him in the head without dropping the girl. Inuyasha purposely stepped on him and made his way to the hut. Miroku groaned.
"Inuyasha what happened" Kagome asked when she saw the girl's face. It was a mess.
"What did you do" Sango said.
"I didn't do anything! She fell out of a tree and bumped her head on a damn branch. She fell unconcious and...well...I just couldn't leave her there!" He said defensively. Sango and Kagome's face softened. Miroku finally joined them.
"Then let's tell Kaede to see if she could help." Kagome finally said.
"Good idea I'll go tell her." Sango went off to get Kaede.
Miroku sat down with a dumb look on his face. Inuyasha put the girl down and punched Miroku on the head.
"You dirty monk."
"Hey I didn't do anything..."
"I'm not stupid."
"I thought you were."
"What!"
"You heard me. You're stupid."
"I'm going to start sharpening my claws on you!"
"NOO!" Miroku stood up and ran but tripped and hit his head even harder. He fell into unconciousness once again. Inuyasha was about to kick him but Kagome sat him and he fell.
"Why you do that for?" He asked annoyed. She just sighed.
Sango came in with Kaede. Kaede ignored the two people on the floor and went to Kagome.
"Where is she child"
"Over here." Kagome lead her towards the room. There laid the brown-haired demon. Her hair was up to her waist almost. Kaede inspected her.
"Well, she has a few bruises on her face, but a demon like her will survive." She said dryly. "But she hit her head pretty badly. All she needs is rest and she'll be fine. Now, if you would excuse me I was in the middle of something." With that said she walked out the hut and towards the village. Sango and Kagome looked dumbfounded.
LATER AT NIGHT
"Oh my head...where am I" She looked around the room where she was in. The last time she checked in she was in the forest and...Fell out a tree. She panicked. What if she was kidnapped and...
No she would not go there. She's a demon. She could handle herself. She felt the back of her head. There was bump there. 'Damn did I hit myself that hard?' she thought. She looked out the window. The sun was setting and the stars were begining to shine. There was going to be a half moon. She looked around the little room. It was a bit welcoming. She didn't feel so frightened. Suddenly she heard someone coming in and closed her eyes. It was Shippo.
"Hello"
Nothing
"I could have sworn she was awake..."
"Hello."
"Ah"
"Shhh." Shippo shut his mouth and nodded.
"Hi i'm Shippo what's your name" He whispered
"I'm Carmen."
"That's a weird name for a demon." he cocked his head. 'Such a cute kitsune,' she thought.
"It was my mom."
"Oh. Are you feeling ok?"
"Much better." Maybe Shippo rescued her and brought her here. He was so cute that she wanted to hug him and play with his fluffy tail. Suddenly a girl walked in. She looked rather palewith lines acrossher cheeks.She stared at her and smiled.
"You're awake. Are you feeling better?" The girl asked.
"Where am I?"
"Don't worry. We have been watching you since you fell out that tree."
"Oh...thank you." She didn't want to be rude.
"I'm Kagome."
"I'm Carmen." They both smiled. Kagome helped her stand up and they went outside with the others. Everyone was planning for their battle with Naraku.Carmen stopped dead in her tracks as soon as she saw the silver-haired demon. Her dark-violet eyes just stared at him.
"Umm..are you ok?" Kagome asked.
"Huh...yea." As soon as they reached the others Kagome introduced Carmen to everyone. Carmen like all of them except Inuyasha. She didn't even look at him.
"What is your damn problem?" Inuyasha asked annoyed.
"Inuyasha! Don't be so rude" Kagome told him.
"Inuyasha?" Carmen said confused.
"Yea, you got a problem with that?" She smirked. Inuyasha was getting mad.
"Well, if it isn't Sesshoumoru's little brother."
"Sesshoumoru? You know my brother" But she didn't say anything and only smiled.
"Hey I'm talking to you! You better answer before I-"
"Sit inuyasha"
THUD
"Sorry for his rudeness." Kagome said apoligizing.
"Yeah he isn't exactly..nice." sango said with a smile.
"It's ok. I'm not surprised. I've heard enough from Sesshoumoru about Inuyasha."
"Not to be rude or anything, but you know Sesshoumoru" Miroku asked. Maybe he got hit in the head so hard he became smarter.
"To tell you the truth...I like him." Everyone just stared at her. Inuyasha stared at her as if she was a crazy, man eating demon.
"What?" She said. She really doesn't feel comfortable under everyone's gaze.
"You like my...brother?" Inuyasha started laughing his head off. Everyone else was silent.
"That's not funny!"
"HAHAHAHHA!"
SMACK
Carmen smacked Inuyasha so hard he was shocked. The group snickered. Inuyasha would never wise up...
After a while the group accepted Carmen to join them, eventhough Kagome had to persuade inuyasha for him to say yes.
"Feh."
"Come on Inuyasha it won't be that bad." Kagome said and had an idea. She went up to him and gave him a hug.
"Huh"
"Please Inuyasha. Let her come"
"No..." Kagome stood on her tip-toes and gave him a peck on the lips. Inuyasha softened. She pouted.
"All alright," he said blushing. Kagome hugged him.
"Thanks!" Inuyasha felt like he was king. Hey...wait a minute. 'All that just so Carmen can come along,' he sighed.
That night they slept at the hut so they can be ready to embark on their journey the next day.
SOMEWHERE IN THE FOREST
"My plan is working perfectly." The person snickered to themself and hid.
