Chapter 18: Precautions
InuYasha looked around nervously.
Kagome, Sango and Miroku were still fighting with Kagura. He would help them, but he didn't want that shit to sneak up behind him.
'Damn it, coward.' he thought as he turned around again.
Kagome gathered her bow and arrow and was about to shoot when Kagura, too disappeared.
"What?" she looked around.
"what the hell?" InuYasha said before sheathing Tetsusaiga. 'They aren't here anymore...' he furrowed his brow in confusion.
"They... they aren't here..." he finally murmured as he looked around, just to be sure.
Koga watched as the two girls wrestled in the clearing. It was fun to watch the two teens fight like five-year-olds. He smirked as Kihana backflipped. He's been trying to teach her how to do it properly. 'And she decides now is a better time to do it right then when I was training her.' He sighed and rubbed his head.
That one time in training, she had perfect posture and was gonna do it well, for once. But instead, she swirved to the side and hit Hakkaku in the head. Smiling again, he yelled for them to come back for dinner.
Ichiatsui helped Kihana up and threw her arm over her sisters shoulder. "Come on, you don't want me to eat your half, do you?" she asked looking questioningly.
"No!" Kihana argued, even though she knew her sister was joking.
Ichiatsui immediately ran up ahead, going backwards and staring at her sister.
"Well, I guess your gonna have to stop me!" she yelled before turning around and running in the direction of their den.
"Hey! Thats not fair, you cheater!" she yelled before bursting out in a sprint to catch up.
Koga smiled and ran towards them just as Kihana playfully tackled Ichiatsui, then the dramatic death of older sister, then the victory dance, then ressurection of older sister, and so on. Yup, it was a normal routine.
"Mirikami, you have been drawing energy from Kagura. Why?" The dark figure sounded angry.
"Ha, she was weak. It was easy, I guess I just wanted to finish the hanyou off." Mirikami stood in a defiant position.
"That will be your downfall. If you feed off others energy, their soul will search you out through it's passages and demolish your very being." it said.
Mirikami held his composure, but his aura told he was deep in thought.
"I know more than you will wish for in one million eternities, do not question me." the figure said before sending him out.
Kagura silently walked into the dark room and bowed.
"Kagura, you wish to know something?" the figure motioned to go on when Kagura nodded her head sheepishly.
"Master, why was my wind so vulnerable? They could brush my wind off with one swift movement. Why?" she asked, keeping her head bowed. She hated herself for sounding so helpless and pathetic.
"Mirikami was slowly seeping away your energy source, you could not control your wind without your original power. He will not do it again." The figure stated matter-of-factly.
Kagura nodded. "Why did you summon us back? Mirikami would have killed InuYasha and I was doing fine." She shook her head trying to make sense of why she was so pathetic.
"I sent you to judge InuYasha's power. His 'friends' are weak, we need not worry about them. InuYasha is weak, even for a hanyou. That was all I needed to know. Now, go." he said, shooing her off.
She smiled when she exited the room. 'That, my dear master, will be your downfall. Which reminds me. I have a meeting with a certain miko.' with that, she grabbed the feather in her hair and climbed on when it transformed.
Kagome was still a little etchy about the situation, after all, InuYasha was jumping all over the place.
One minute, he would be at her side, then up front, then behind, then in the forest checking something out. She shook her head.
'What's the matter with him, it's already been three hours, and we're almost at the place where Miroku says that a "demon lie dormant". Demon my ass.' she stopped for a second wondering how that came out. InuYasha was rubbing off on her.
'Just greeeaat...' she thought before catching back up with Sango.
Kagome just stood there while Miroku began 'ridding the place of evil'.
InuYasha couldn't help but be sketchy about what just happened. 'Why would they just disappear like that?' he looked around and sniffed once more before heading in the direction his friends went.
When he walked up to the group, Miroku was performing a 'ritual'. Kagome was just standing in an annoyed pose, while Sango stood with Kirara in her arms.
"Hey, is he almost done?" InuYasha rubbed his head, trying to break the silence.
"Done." Miroku said as he stood up and pretended to see the demonic aura leave.
"Thank you very much, please allow us to offer a nights food and stay for your kindness." the villager said, bowing his head.
Miroku accepted and they walked inside after explaining InuYasha was nothing to be afraid of.
"I am going to go for a bath." Kagome said, reaching for her stuff.
"What? Not after what happened this afternoon!" InuYasha said, almost laughing at the topic.
"Sango, would you like to join me?" Kagome asked, ignoring InuYasha's comment.
"No, thanks." she replied.
"What? I told you, you aren't going!" InuYasha said, crossing his arms.
"InuYasha, I'm going to be fine, your well within range to hear me if you need something." she said.
InuYasha just huffed and turned away. He knew she was right, he just had a feeling that it wouldn't matter if she was in screaming range.
Kagome muttered a 'thank you' before walking towards the nearby hot spring.
'Oh, finally, I need a good bath.' she thought as she came up on the secluded spring.
She put down her things and looked around for a certain monk.
"Clear." she said sub-consciously.
She dropped her things and took of her socks.
"Hello, miko."
Kagome jumped. "Who's there?" she said frantically.
She was about to scream, but something covered her mouth.
"We don't want that filthy hanyou to find us now do we?" the voice, clearly female whispered.
Kagome widened her eyes in understanding. She muttered into the hand. "Kagura."
