Chapter 8- The Journey
"So you know Naraku?" Kagome asked Carmen as they walked through the forest. They had been talking about Naraku and the plan they had to think of. When Carmen heard Naraku's name she became stoic and quiet. No one wanted to confront her but Kagome just couldn't help it.
"Unfortunately, yes."
"How?"
"Well, I use to live in a very small, poor village with my mother and father. My mom was human and my father a demon. It was forbidden in my village to conceive with a demon so my parents had to make their own new home. When I was about three years old my mom was slaughtered by Naraku. My father tried to save her, but got killed in the process. Naraku was after me, but I escaped. I've been by myself ever since."
Kagome looked at her sympathetically. She didn't know what to say.
"I'm so sorry," she said.
"It's ok, I've been strong. Besides I wasn't by myself my whole life..."
"Sesshoumoru right?"
"Yes."
"How did you meet him?" Kagome asked curiously.
"Well, I met him when I was hunting. I was about seventeen years old and Sesshoumoru was, well, way older than me. He was walking through the forest with Jakken. I was running away from a wolf demon tribe and their leader. I was weak and beaten up. Before the wolves finished me off, Sesshoumoru saved me. He was powerful and I just sat there watching him finish off them wolves. After that and an awkward moment, he took me with him and took care of me. We have been together ever since."
"Wow...who knew Sesshoumoru would be so...nice," Kagome said in astonishment.
"How did you end up...apart?" She asked.
"He told me about the jewel shards and Naraku. He wanted vengeance and I did, too. I told him that I wanted to kill him myself. At first he didn't want to let me go, but I persuaded him and he did. He said when I was done, to come back to him." Carmen finished smiling at the memory.
"It seems as if you and Sesshoumoru really...got along well."
"Yeah, he was so sweet and kind to me."
"I never knew Sesshoumoru would ever act like that," Kagome said, trying not to laugh at Sesshoumoru for being called 'sweet and kind'.
"Well, he is nice to me and Rin."
"You know Rin?"
"Yeah, I left Sesshoumoru one time so I can go back to where the remains of my parents where. I had a vow to complete. I came back to him months later and met Rin. He told me how beat up he was and how Rin took care of him."
"Oh."
"Yeah, she's kind."
"How old are you now?"
"About seventy, more or less."
"Oh."
"How long have you and Sesshoumoru been apart?" Asked Miroku. He was an eavesdropper and couldn't help it.
"We've been apart for at least six months."
"That's not long." Miroku said.
"For me it is."
Silence
"So...you and my brother...are...?" Inuyasha asked, raising an eyebrow while he walked towards them.
"Ummm...friends?"
"You sure?" He asked, not convinced. Carmen blushed.
"Umm...drop the subject would you?" She stomped away, her face red.
"Yep, they're more than friends all right." Inuyasha said.
"You think they had sex yet?" Miroku asked. This time and this time only did he not get hurt.
"I don't know." Kagome said.
"Maybe." Sango said.
"Yeah." Inuyasha said.
"I think so, too." Miroku agreed. They all stared at the half-demon stomping on front of them. They tried to imagine Sesshoumoru and her making a family. She turned around.
"What?" She asked annoyed.
"Nothing." They all said in unison.
"Good." She said bitterly and kept walking.
That night they set up camp and a fire. The girls went to take a dip in the hot springs near by. The guys stayed behind, Inuyasha and Shippo keeping a watchful eye over Miroku.
"But I won't do anything!" He complained.
"No!" Inuyasha yelled.
"Ok, I'll give you Ramen if you let me go!"
"No. Besides you can't cook, and even if you did, I wouldn't let you go." He said. 'And Kagome would kill me!' he thought.
"Don't you trust me?"
"When it comes to girls...no."
"I thought you were my friend!" Miroku cried.
"I am. I'm trying to save you from the wrath of the girls."
"I'm used to it. What do you say? Buddy?" He pouted.
"No..."
"I love you!" After that outburst Inuyasha stared at the monk.
"What?" Miroku said.
"You're sick! Sick and wrong!" Inuyasha yelled at him.
"Oooooh! Miroku is sick! Let me make him feel better!" Shippo chirped. Inuyasha looked at the little kitsune and smirked.
"Yeah Shippo, Miroku is sick. Maybe you can make him...feel better!" Inuyasha said.
"Wait...what are you guys thinking? Shippo? Inuyasha? SOMEONE FRIGGIN HELP ME!" Miroku screamed like a girl. Inuyasha knocked Miroku out and tied him to a tree. Shippo got out the colorful brushes and paint Kagome brought him.
"There you go Shippo! Now, make Miroku sorry...I mean...make him happy." Inuyasha said evilly.
"YAY!" Shippo started painting Miroku's face...
AT THE HOT SPRINGS
The girls were emerged underwater and came back up. They were all resting in the hot water.
"This is sooo relaxing." Kagome sighed.
"Yes it is." Carmen agreed.
"I hope Miroku isn't around." Sango said and nodded towards Kilala.
"Don't worry, Inuyasha is with him. Besides, he is your boyfriend." Kagome smirked.
"Sango and Miroku...hmmm..." Carmen was lost at though.
"We what?" Sango asked.
"Nothing!" Carmen said defensively. "I think you guys make a cute couple!"
"Sure..." Sango rolled her eyes and they all laughed.
"So...what about Sesshoumoru?" Kagome asked Carmen.
"What about him?" Carmen asked. No liking where this conversation was headed.
"Are you guys...?" Sango asked.
"Um..."
"Come on tell us! It's only us girls." Sango told her.
"Fine," she sighed."We are...a couple."
"Wow..." Sango and Kagome said in unison.
"Did you guys...you know..." Sango asked.
"No! Of course not. At least...not yet."
"Yet!" Kagome squealed.
"We did talk about it." Carmen blurted.
"You did?" Sango said in amazement.
"Yeah. Why wouldn't we? Besides, he said when I come back we we're going to start...how should I say this..."
"A new life together?" Kagome suggested.
"You can say that."
"Wow, you guys must really...love each other. I mean, me a Miroku can't talk about having sex. He'll start yapping and crap." Sango said and giggled.
"True, these guys are immature." Kagome sighed.
"Well, me and Sesshoumoru are...outgoing towards one another." Carmen shrugged.
"Maybe."
Silence
"How did you end up unconscious and brought back my Inuyasha?" Kagome asked out of curiosity.
"Oh, I sensed a jewel shard and decided to go after it, but ended up hurting myself. I have to admit, I'm quite a klutz sometimes."
"Don't worry, I am, too." Kagome said. Carmen smiled at her.
"What type of demon are you?" Sango asked her.
"Half human and half wolf."
"Wolf? Really?" Kagome asked.
"Yeah. My mom was a human and my dad a wolf demon."
"Wow." Kagome said.
30 MINUTES LATER
"We better go, it's getting late and we need to head back." Sango suggested. They all nodded and starting changing into clothes.
When they got to the campsite they saw the weirdest site. Shippo was standing in front of Miroku, who was knocked out and tied to a tree, painting his face and Inuyasha was laying down on the ground smirking.
"Um, what are you guys doing?" Kagome asked.
"Um, Shippo was making Miroku...better." Inuyasha said as he stood up.
"Uh-huh. Sure, why not." Sango mumbled as she walked towards Shippo and the unconscious monk.
"There! All done!" Shippo said happily and went to greet Kagome and Carmen. Miroku woke up.
"Am I dreaming or is Sango really in front of me?" Miroku asked no one.
"Shut up," she said and untied him. He tried to stand up and Sango helped him. For some reason Sango trusted him. 'Maybe if I could...no! I won't do it! Bad hand!' Miroku said mentally. His expressions changed.
"Are you ok?" Sango asked.
"Yeah! I'm fine, I mean, I'm being held by the woman of my dreams!" He finished.
"I bet I'm the star of all your dreams," she mumbled. Miroku smirked.
"Why don't we "accidentally" disappear? Sango, it could be fun."
"I don't know if I should smack you or kick you or-" Sango was cut off by Miroku's lips. He kissed her gently and softly. A little while later she joined him and they kissed passionately.
"I would never hurt you Sango." Miroku said breathlessly. His eyes showed honesty and love. Sango nodded and they "disappeared" into the forest...
WITH THE OTHERS
Shippo and Kilala were sleeping. Kagome said she didn't feel well and wanted to sleep. Inuyasha joined her and Carmen was left by herself. She gazed into the fire in front of her.
"Gosh, I'm so lonely," she said out loud. "Sango has Miroku and Kagome has Inuyasha. Maybe I should forget about Sesshoumoru..." She sighed. All of a sudden Carmen heard a snap coming from the forest. Curiously she walked towards the sound.
As she got closer she could sense someone. She recognized the scent. Her heart beating rapidly, she walked faster, then she started running. Carmen was really close and then she saw who she yearned to see.
"Sesshoumoru!" She gasped. He was lying on the ground unconscious and alone in the dark night. Rin and Jakken were nowhere in sight. She ran to his side and took his hand. He was cold.
"Oh my god! Don't worry Sesshoumoru, I'll save you!" He moaned.
"Sesshoumoru?" She asked.
"Mmm...who in the...Carmen?" He said.
"Yeah, it's me. What happened?"
"I was ambushed..." He moaned again.
"By who? And why are you here?"
"I was ambushed by someone I couldn't recognized. I was on my way to Devil's Peak to fight Naraku..."
"Me, too. Here," she took his arm and threw it over her shoulders. "I'll help you up and you can get some rest."
"Are you alone?" He asked.
"No."
"Who are you with?"
"That doesn't matter. Right now I'm going to help you." Carmen helped Sesshoumoru up and helped him walk.
"Thanks." He said in a low voice.
"I've missed you."
"I've missed you, too." Carmen smiled warmly and took him to the campsite. He was too weak to sense who was there and let Carmen take him to where ever she was taking him.
"Here," she helped him lie down. "I'll look after you just like you do to me."
"Good night." He mumbled and fell asleep in Carmen's lap...
BEYOND THE FOREST
"Ha ha! Sesshoumoru never had it coming. Maybe next time he would mind his own business. Inuyasha, however, will be next..." The person hid in the bushes and decided to keep following the group until the right time...
A/N: Nice isn't it? Except for the mysterious person. Don't worry, he would be revealed soon. I will only say it's a guy!
