Thischapter is short, I know, but i'm undergoing a bit of a writers block...... Again,I don't OWN inuyasha! Never will, darnit! Quit rubbing it in! Chapter 4 "Oh Inuyasha, chill. He won't hurt you.......much." Kagome giggled. Inuyasha glared at the ebony haired woman venomously."You ride him and see what happens." He growled. Kagome laughed. "I'm the one that trained him. He'll do anything I ask. You have to earn his respect and trust." She said teasingly, watching Inuyasha in the battle of wills with Onyx, who was winning. The stubborn horse appeared to be laughing as he tosses his beatiful head, sending his wavy mane flying into Inuyasha's face. The hanyou growled irritably, yanking on the reins. Kagome became serious."Inuyasha, don't jerk on the reins like that. You'll ruin his mouth. All of these horses need little more than a feather light pull to guide them, not yanks."The silver haired hanyou growled low. "Well he's not listening. He's being a stupid, stubborn mule." The horse snorted and promptly reared, sending a startled dog demon to the dust. "THAT'S IT! YOU'RE GLUE!" He yelled, fuming at the horse, who trotted to Kagome and stood towering over her. She rolled her eyes at the inuyasha. "Let me show you what it takes to handle a horse like this." She said, swinging her slim frame gracefully into the saddle. The horse visibly relaxed as she took a seat. His graceful ears flickered back and forth alertly, paying total attention to Kagome. She picked up the reins, and squeezed gently with her knees, never making a sound. The horse walked off easily. Inuyasha watched in fascination as she gave wordless commands. The horse cantered in place, turning on a dime. The poetry of motion between the horse and rider was perfect. They moved with a harmony and sync that seemed beyond him. The once stubborn stallion now bent to Kagome's every wish and whim as she asked it. He never took a wrong step and together they created an image that would forever haunt Inuyasha's imagination with it's grace. Kagome stopped him in front of Inuyasha. "See? Just like that." She said, slipping out of the saddle and patting Onyx's muscular neck. "You have to ask him to move. Not demand." She gave Inuyasha a heart stopping smile. "But this big guy's had enough of a workout, and I've got to work at least 5 other horses today." The hanyou simply looked at her. Riding Onyx had done something to her. Her eyes had a brilliance, an enthusiastic flame to them he hadn't seen before. Her beautiful face was lightly flushed, and her smile was radiant. These horses were truly her passion. Her love. They had been his too. Until he met Onyx. His horse before had been a sweet, tender little thing. Not some hard headed mule.He helped her work out the other horses though, and his love for the beautiful creatures was rekindled as he rode the gentle giants. Apparently Onyx was the only one that you had to earn his respect. The others worked just fine. He felt his adreniline fire as he worked the horses, his eyes taking on a gleam like Kagome's. Although hours had passed, he felt like he could've continued riding for days.Kagome smiled as the finished up the last horses. He was an excellent rider, graceful and masculine in the saddle, in tune with the horse. He just had to prove that to Onyx. She walked up to him as he finished up and slid off."Good job. I wasn't sure if you were telling the truth when you said you could ride. But looks like You were right." She smiled at him. "I'm starving. Let's eat something, then tomorrow we work the other horses. Inuyasha grinned."Alright. Let's go." He agreed. Then he stopped, sniffing the air. "Damn." he growled. "Kagome, go inside. I can't stay here. "Sorry Inuyasha. No can do. I'll pack some saddle bags with grub, you saddle a couple of horses and WE'LL leave together. I ain't letting you go it alone. I'll call my mom to watch the house while I'm out." Kagome, you can't. This is between me and Sesshoumaru.And like I told you, I can't stay here knowing you're on the run." A quick glaring contest. Then "Which horses do you want?" She smiled. "Sadie. You take Onyx." Inuyasha scowled."Why him?" "He's the most athletic horse I own, Inu." "Fine. Go get the stuff." "Will do."She rushed away, and Inuyasha turned towards the barn. "He's closing in." He grumbled, running to the barn to prepare the horses for the ride of their lives. Coming soon, chapter 5! Reveiw!
