Recap!
Inuyasha snapped up, realizing what he was just doing and noticed Kagome's face color. He fought the blush down and smirked back at Kagome.
Kagome's eyes fell on the ground.
What is this feeling I get when he even looks at me...?
Inuyasha turned away confused.
Why did she look away? Did I do something wrong? GOD WOMEN ARE TOO CONFUSING!
Chapter 11: Explanations please!
Inuyasha just sat back in his tree and gazed up at the beautiful crescent. It was a small sliver, so thin and fragile looking. It had only been the new moon 2 days ago.
He hated being human. He was too weak. He couldn't protect Kagome. He was too…open… he said too much to Kagome when he was human.
Damn it! I hate emotions…
The cool night wind shook the tree he was in so slightly it just shook him out of his thoughts. He gazed down at the group of people easily conversing near the fire.
Sango the demon slayer, brought into the group after HE tricked her into thinking Inuyasha slaughtered her entire village after he killed off her entire family and is now keeping her little brother as a henchman.
Miroku the (PERVERTED!) monk with a wind tunnel in his right hand, a kind and friendly man but sometimes a little TOO friendly. Inuyasha couldn't get why he and Sango didn't get together.
I mean Miroku obviously likes Sango, and Kagome says Sango like Miroku but…
Miroku's only here because Naraku cursed his great-grandfather with the wind tunnel, but yet again this was related on how perverted the monks of Miroku's bloodline act.
Stupid monk….
Inuyasha's eye fell on to Kagome's soft figure. She was laughing and smiling as that little fox demon told a stupid story. He smiled at the pair. Kagome loved Shippo so much, even if he is demon.
Maybe she will accept me too….
Inuyasha thought about what their family would look like. Her, Shippo and himself…..and maybe a few pups. His thoughts shook themselves back to why Kagome was even with him. She broke the Shikon no Tama.
Baka onna….Always so…… wonderful, caring, warm, loving,….
His mind couldn't ever say anything worse than stupid woman, although the occasional wench and bitch came to mind.. but Kagome herself was just such a kind person. Even to that mangy wolf Koga…his mind thought bitterly. He kidnapped her and all but raped her and kept calling her HIS woman like Kagome was a piece of property. Just the thought of Koga made him seethe with anger.
How dare he even THINK of touching her….
Inuyasha was snapped out of his thoughts once more when everyone laughed very loudly at the small kitsune's actions, he was running from a very very VERY small spider.. just a spider…. Not a demon….
Inuyasha chuckled to himself.
His thoughts then drifted to Ryann and Griffin…What was up with them anyway? They hardly knew anything about the pair and they were all just sitting down there like they were all friends for the longest time.
Ryann then looked up at Inuyasha obviously beckoning to meet him.
He nodded and hopped down from the tree and began to walk into the forest.
Kagome noticed Inuyasha's movement and looked at his back questioningly.
Ryann and Griffin then stood up.
"Kagome can Griffin and I have a chat with you?" she spoke kindly but seriously.
"Sure," Kagome replied while standing up, hoping to find what happened to Inuyasha.
"Well be right back," smiled Ryann and the 3 set off, leaving Sango, Miroku, Shippo and Kilala, by themselves.
They walked into the forest with Ryann in between Griffin and Kagome.
Inuyasha..where are you? Kagome thought worriedly.
They were walking deeper and deeper into the forest, and since there was no light from the moon, it was very dark. She couldn't see very well, just outlines of trees and the roots interlaced in the soil underfoot. She watched the ground, following a tree root over and under, up and down, twists and curls…
Ryann and Griffin suddenly stopped. Kagome, not paying very much attention, passed them up but halted a half step in front of them.
Kagome turned around questioningly to find Ryann and Griffin looking up, so she followed suit and found herself gazing into his amber eyes.
She was getting lost in them. She couldn't help it. The were just so…She couldn't even think of a word to describe his amazing eyes, always watching and protecting her. The world started to melt away, it was just her and his eyes just watching each other.
"Kagome…."
She heard a whisper.
She snapped back into reality.
"Oh hello Inuyasha."
"OK you two, why did you drag me and Kagome into the middle of the forest?" Inuyasha asked, shifting his gaze from Kagome's eyes to them.
"Come down here and me and Griff will explain ourselves," answered Ryann.
"feh.." was the only response you heard for him as his jumped and landed gracefully at the base of the tree. He then shifted himself comfortable into the roots at the base of the tree.
Kagome and Ryann and Griffin sat down with Kagome and Griffin on either side of Inuyasha with Ryan directly across from him.
"OK," Ryann began, "My name is Ryann Ishimuri. I am an angel demon. I have the power of foresight."
"I'm Giffin Ishimuri, the lord of the castle in the northern islands. I am a human but I wield a sword with special qualities that allow me to go beyond human standards."
"emmm…." Kagome responded, but Inuyasha just stared at them like it didn't phase him.
Ryann smiled pleasantly. "I too wield a sword born of an angel's wing. This is the only reason I'm aloud to touch it. I also have the equal to a human priestess's power in a demonic sense with basic healing powers."
Kagome started to shiver.
Inuyasha looked over at Kagome, who was still in his outer kimono shirt with Ryann's sleeve as a belt, with his worry starting to spill our of his eyes.
"Kagome are you cold?"
"Emm…yeah a little bit," Kagome answered modestly.
Inuyasha glanced at Ryann and Griffin.
Who care if their here? Its not like you care what they think about you and Kagome.
But what if they tell Miroku and Sango?
They won't!
But what if they do?
So what then? You DO love her so what should it matter.
"Come here then," he mumbled.
Kagome, grateful but confused, crawled over to Inuyasha as he wrapped his arm around her.
"emm…Thank you Inuyasha," whispered Kagome, still very confused at Inuyasha's kindness.
"feh," he said back, as he turned his gaze back to Ryann, who looked very pleased, and Griffin.
"So Ryann, your foresight power, can you tell us anything about your visions?" asked Kagome.
"No, unfortunately I cant. If I tell anyone about but one person I lose that power," she replied.
"Who is that one person?" asked Inuyasha trying to hide his curiosity but failing.
Ryann looked over at Griffin with her love for him visible in her eyes, "him."
Griffin smiled at Ryann and wrapped his arms around her.
Kagome smiled at the pair. They seemed so much in love. Kagome looked over at Inuyasha, longingly, but at that moment, Inuyasha turned his head at Kagome in about the same action.
They looked at each other and then they both glanced away both apologetically and blushing.
"So do you have anymore questions about us?" asked Griffin, grinning a small smile.
They dog demon and the priestess shook their heads.
"Oh, I have one. Where can we find Kagome some new clothes?" Ryann piped up.
"Oh, that's right….." said Kagome as she looked down to see the red kimono and white makeshift belt. "I guess I'll have to go home."
"WHAT!"
"Home….?" asked Ryann.
"Emmm…well yeah its kind of complicated."
"Explain it Kagome, we have all night to understand each other." Ryann smiled back.
"Well…" and with that Kagome started from the beginning of her adventure with Inuyasha, starting with how Buyo found his way into the well and then that lady centipede dragged her down to the feudal era.
She explained about each of the people who were traveling with them, Naraku and Kikyo, and Koga.
Inuyasha started to clench his fist but his side where hopefully no one would catch it, but Ryann did and she grinned inwardly.
"So every time you need something you have to go down the well?" asked Ryann.
"Yeah," answered Kagome.
"Well don't you think it would be more suitable to wear a battle kimono or a priestess's clothing, something tougher and a little less emm short?" asked Ryann, remembering the ridiculous length of Kagome's previous skirt.
"Well I guess so.. but I still need to go get some things from my time, like ramen," said Kagome, as she smiled at Inuyasha, whose ears perked up at the word 'ramen.'
"What about you Ryann? Your kimono is also torn from where u gave me the belt."
"Oh that's simple enough. I just have to go home and get a new kimono."
"So where is your home?" asked Kagome.
The guys were just sitting and listening, they seemed really similar, maybe too similar.
"At the castle of course," Ryann said matter-of-factly.
"At Lord Griffin's castle?" Kagome asked.
Griffin sighed. "Please don't call me Lord Griffin. It's too formal for my liking."
"Oh, emm…of course."
Ryann smiled, "Yes at his castle, but I'm not terribly uncomfortable with my kimono torn."
"I am."
Ryann stuck her tongue out at Griffin playfully. "Your uncomfortable anytime another man even sees me."
"No I'm not!"
"Yes you are! He makes me sit in a litter while we travel around near the castle!"
Griffin just looked away, obviously he lost to her.
"I love you," she said as she kissed him on the cheek.
"I love you too."
Kagome smiled.
It got quiet, all you could hear was the soft wind blowing through the trees and the soft murmur of the crickets.
Inuyasha's ears twitched and he let a growl out of his throat.
"Inuyasha?"
"Something's coming."
Inuyasha pulled himself and Kagome up and pushed her behind him. Ryann and Griffin stood up too. They looked relaxed but Inuyasha was tense with his hand grabbed onto his sword.
What's that scent? It smells sort of like mother….
"Inuyasha don't attack what's coming. Its friends of ours," said Griffin calmly.
Inuyasha let go of his sword but still had Kagome behind him.
Two humans ran into the little clearing they had been sitting in. They at least looked human…but they were running as fast or about as fast as Inuyasha.
"Brothers!" exclaimed Griffin, hugging the two new people.
"Griffin!" the yelled back, returning his embrace.
They released each other and then the new company turned toward Ryann and bowed.
"Lady Ryann"
"Don't do that! I am you sister-in-law!"
Ryann walked over to them and gave them a hug. They hugged her back.
"It's nice to see you two again!"
"Likewise," one answered.
Ryann turned around to find Inuyasha and Kagome gaping.
She laughed.
"Kagome, Inuyasha, this is Leon and Lance."
Leon was an inch taller than Griffin. He had black, short hair. He looked about 30ish.
Lance was about an inch shorter than Griffin and had chestnut brown hair that was a little bit shorter that Griffin's hair. He wasabout26.
Lance and Leon bowed to Kagome and Inuyasha.
"Why are they bowing, Inuyasha?" Kagome whispered to Inuyasha.
"Beats me," he whispered back.
"Emm…hello!" Kagome greeted.
"Is this him, brother?" Leon asked Griffin.
"Yes it is."
"What do mean by that?" Inuyasha asked, noticing the reference to him.
