Chapter Two
Miroku, Sango, Kagome, and Shippo stared wide eyed at the mysterious woman who approached Inuyasha. She looked to be about their age with jet black hair and bright blue eyes. They were astonished at how beautiful she was and how close she seemed to Inuyasha. Kagome was furious that he never mentioned her and had been sneaking off for the past week to secretly meet her. She was so furious with him and the girl that she was about to barge in and give them a good piece of her mind but, every time that she would get a glimpse of the girl's face she would become mystified by her beauty. She would become frozen every time that those eyes of that girl would pass over her because it felt as if they were looking right through you into your very heart and soul.
Where have you been? You told me that you'd be here an hour ago !!" Inuyasha inquired.
The girl whispered almost inaudible to the four hiding behind the nearby bush that she was busy and was sorry for the inconvenience.
As the group listened to the conversation not meant for them to hear or know of, Kagome once again became angry. She slammed her fist into the palm of her hand and in doing so accidentally hit Miroku's shoulder causing him to drop his staff. Then Shippo trying to move up closer to see what was going on, tripped over the staff, fell out of the bushes, rolled down the small hill, and landed at Inuyasha's feet. The girl noticed the rustle of leaves, sharp "owws", and wheeled around to see Inuyasha holding Shippo up by his tail.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING???," Inuyasha bellowed, "I never said you guys could follow me.
"But you never said we couldn't," Shippo whined.
Immediately Inuyasha began to bop the kitsune on the head.
"SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT! SIT!!! SIIIIIIITTTT! "
"DAMMIT WHY DO YOU DO THAT?"
"Inuyasha, can I ask what's going on here?" the girl questioned.
"NO YOU CANT!!!!," Kagome replied.
"DON'T YELL AT HER!"
"I'LL YELL IF I WANT!"
"NO YOU WONT!"
"YOU CANT TELL ME WHAT TO DO!"
The two continued to argue as the "most sensible of the group approached this friend of Inuyasha's.
"My name is Miroku and this is my acquaintance, Sango."
"Huh? I'm glad to see I'm so important to you." Sango muttered
"You're very important to me Sango however, I am more interested in this beautiful new friend of Inuyasha's," he smiled as if he were plotting something mischievous and then continued speaking, "it's quite intriguing how close she seems to him and I'd like to find out why they insisted on meeting in secret for the past week."
"A name would be nice too," Sango whispered angrily .
"None of that's of importance to you so I don't need to answer that. Also I don't think it was really any of your business to spy on us the way you did."
"We're very sorry but-" Sango tried to apologize but was cut short by Miroku.
"Yes we are very sorry and we apologize but as the saying goes...I believe it's curiosity that killed the-"
"Sayuri" the girl interrupted.
"It's Sayuri that killed the cat???"
"NO! Sayuri is my name." she turned towards Inuyasha and Kagome who were still arguing," Should we stop them?"
Shippo answered," No, because there's no point. Even if we could make them stop yelling it wouldn't change Kagome's mind about leaving. Inuyasha implied that she was stupid."
"So how exactly do you know Inuyasha?"
"He's just an old friend. That's all. So where is ummm....Kikyo? She is usually by Inuyasha's side." Sayuri asked obviously annoyed that Kikyo was usually near him.
"Perhaps we should tell her....but she would have to join us in order to do so. Its obvious that she doesn't know and needs someone to inform her seeing as Inuyasha won't."
"I don't think I should-" she began to protest.
"SAYURI! We're leaving!" Inuyasha yelled while walking away from Kagome confused about why she was leaving.
"What's your point?" she asked
"Well are you coming or not?"
"I-I guess."
The group walked away with Sango mad at Miroku, Kagome stomping back to the well and Inuyasha more confused than ever while Sayuri paused to take in everything that just happened. A gentle breeze blew by sending hair every other direction. The lips of the young hanyou that looked so humanlike moved and the sound of a small thanks reached the ears of a close friend.
