Chapter 12: A Talk, A Plan
(A/N: Holy crap! I already got over 10 reviews in one day:hugs reviewers: You guys rock:runs in circles: I am sooo happy, I had to write this as soon as I could! (See what happens when an author believes in good karma! ...:whispers: good things happen to reviewers:..)
Kagome tossed in her bed violently. Since last week, she's been having the same dream of her in the mirror, never living up to what used to be Kikyo. Each time just got worse and worse. Kagome sat up in her futon, and touched her forehead. She felt a cold sweat. She saw a figure was at her side.
"InuYasha?" she asked as she reached blindly into the darkness. She felt InuYasha's hand grab hers and she sighed in relief.
"Hey, are you okay? You've been tossing all night." He asked as he started a small fire.
"I don't know.." she said as she held her hand to her head.
"I don't remember anything." Kagome motioned to get up from her sleeping bag, but found that it was a really cold night. She shrivelled back up in her blankets and tried to wiggle her way towards the fire.
InuYasha smirked when he saw this, so he grabbed her sleeping bag and placed her down in front of the fire. Kagome mumbled something of a 'thank-you' and cuddled close to him for warmth.
A figure sat in the confines of their castle. 'InuYasha. You have grown close to this human. It will lead to your demise. I will see to it myself.'
They got up and walked down a corpse filled hallway to a door with a spell placed upon it's doors.
Opening the doors with ease, they walked in cautiously. Seeing a large figure in the far corner, they smiled.
"Mirikami, It's time."
InuYasha saw Kagome laying her head on his shoulder as she slowly let sleep take her again.
'Tomorrow's the new moon. We should put off hunting for the jewel shard for another day or so.' InuYasha was actually surprised at how long it's been since everyone went to really search for them.
Miroku and himself have gone and gotten a shard from a demon attacking a nearby village, but that was it.
When dawn broke, InuYasha and Miroku (reluctantly) went to get herbs for Kaede.
"It's nice to be able to talk without the guys around. It's been so long." Sango said as she placed some tea in front of Kagome.
"Yes, I can't remember the last time we did talk alnoe like this." Kagome replied, sipping her tea.
'I will search for information, then I'll form a plan. You two will regret the little "plot" you set for me and InuYasha.' she thought, smirking.
"So are you and Miroku a 'couple'?" she started.
"No! Miroku can't keep his hands to himself! Lecher.." she mumbled the last part.
"Well, I can sort of understand that." Kagome said, nodding her head in agreement.
"What about you and InuYasha! I know you have something going on!" Kagome almost glared at her, but restrained herself, pretending she didn't know.
"I guess, I mean he's been really caring lately."
"Well, you know he's changed a lot with your help, and even if you haven't noticed, he's done the same for you."
Kagome knew this, and it was nice to know that Sango noticed it too.
After what seemed like and eternity of finally catching up with each others "love lives", the boys walked in and sat down.
"What have you two been talking about?" Miroku asked.
"Nothing." the two said in a monotone voice. The boys wouldn't get anything out of them.
"I was hoping we could continue the search for the jewel shards again soon. Like in a few days." InuYasha said as he gulped down the ramen Kagome gave him.
"Sure that would be great!" Kagome piped up.
"Ya, I think it's about time we finished it." Sango said as Miroku nodded his head in agreement.
"We should leave in two days." Kagome said as she looked for a sign of agreement from the others.
"Why two days?" Sango asked, petting Kirara lightly on the head.
"The new moon is tomorrow." InuYasha said as he handed the empty ramen cup to Kagome. She placed the cup inside her bag, not wanting to clean it right now.
The others muttered their understandings before heading outside.
"It's a beautiful day." (Remember, its like early afteroon.)
"Ya." InuYasha just sat down in the grass and stared over the hill at Shippo and Kirara playing around.
Kagome gasped as she reached something from her pocket and showed InuYasha the peice of paper.
"It's my idea for the 'perfect' evening." she said as she pointed out some main parts and others.
"InuYasha could only smile. 'Kagome really does like to go into detail when she's making plots.'
Kagome smiled back at him before folding it back up and checking for possible "intruders". clear. 'this is gonna be fun.'
