AN: Hey! Well, didn't get enough reviews, like always, but alas, I write because I like. Anyways, hope you like this chapter!
Pairings: Eiji/Sango, Inuyasha/Kagome, Rin/Kohaku, Miroku/OC
They all rushed at him at the same time. While unknown to him, the man snuck away to find Ayame. Finally, he did.
"I found you, my little iris." he said.
"Kouga!" Ayame shouted.
"Well, I'm so glad you remember me my Ayame." he said as he took a step closer.
"I'm not your Ayame! You're the one who did this to me! You're the one who disabled me from walking! You're the…" but was silenced with a kiss by Kouga.
Ayame twisted to break the kiss then pushed him away with her arms.
"My my my my Ayame. Who would've known that you taste so sweet?" Kouga said as he licked his lips. Her flavor still lingering on them.
"Shut up you freak!" she snapped while wiping her lips with her arm.
"Well then, if it must be, then I guess if you won't cooperate, then we'll have to do this the hard way. I'm sorry sweet one." he said while he picked her up and placed her over his shoulder like a potato sack. She screamed and shouted.
This was heard by Eiji. He figured that she was in distress. He had to end this battle with these henchmen, and he had to end it fast. He thought fast.
"SHIBAYA!" he shouted while hacking and slashing at the others.
They all fell after a few minutes of swinging his Tokijin like a madman. He wiped the blood off the blade with his kimono, then sheathed the blade and ran towards Ayame's screams. He saw her screaming as Kouga was ripping off her clothes.
"If you won't accept it, then I'll make you! You WILL carry my children!" Kouga shouted.
He was, however, paused for a moment. He felt a finger tap on his shoulder. Her whipped around to see a figure. His eyes opened wide.
"Well, you'll be carrying this." and with that, Eiji's fist slammed into Kouga's face, knocking him out.
Kouga hit the ground with a thud as Ayame scrambled to Eiji. He picked her up bridal style as he scanned her for wounds.
"Are you alright?" he asked her.
"Yeah, I am now. Thank you. I don't know how to thank you enough for all that you have done for me." Ayame said as she wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Yeah, no problem." he said as he sped off.
Inuyasha and the others
"Inuyasha, I have to sleep, I'm tired. I have to eat, I'm hungry." Kohaku said while grabbing his stomach.
"We can't. After all, you ARE the one who said you won't eat or sleep until you find my brother." Inuyasha said while keeping his fast pace.
"Well I didn't mean it literally, although, I almost did. What I really meant was that I'll sleep later, wake up earlier, and cut back on meals to improve the speed at which we're traveling at the moment, not literally. I'm so tired. Can't we just stop for a little? I haven't slept in 2 days! I haven't eaten in 2 days either." Kohaku said.
He felt his sister wrap her arms around him protectively.
"Don't worry, we'll stop soon." she told him.
"Says who?" the grumpy hanyou asked.
"Says me that's who!" Kagome said while coming up from the back slowly, using her bow as a walking stick. "Inuyasha, we've been traveling for days without food or rest, and to be frank, I'm tired of it! I want to sleep for once! I want to eat a meal! Now I swear that if we do not stop now, I will throw myself off of a cliff!" Kagome added threatening.
Inuyasha knew that tone. He knew that she was telling the truth too. In that tone, if she said that, then she really would throw herself off of a cliff if he didn't cave with her terms. He sighed as he went over to Kagome and picked her up. He kissed her nose.
"Whatever my mate wishes, it shall be done." Inuyasha said while placing a blushing Kagome back down and settling next to her while signaling the rest of the group to take a break.
They all sighed. A break, finally. After two days with out eating or sleeping, they finally get a break, but all was about to change as Inuyasha scared the hell out of everyone with what he was about to say next.
"Everyone make yourselves at home, cuz we're going to stay here for the rest of the day and sleep here tonight." he said.
Everyone gasped.
"Are you alright Inuyasha? Are you sick?" Miroku asked actually sounding worried.
"I'm fine monk. Now just shut up." Inuyasha said while clenching his fist into a ball.
"Thanks Inuyasha!" Kohaku said. "Now I can actually get a good night's sleep…" he added.
He placed his head onto his sister's lap as he immediately fell asleep. Sango smiled as she stroked his hair.
"I expect a good lunch and dinner though! Preferably ramen." Inuyasha explained.
"I'll get on it right now." Kagome said knowing that she finally has a day off.
Eiji and Ayame
"There. I see a village. We can settle there for the rest of the day." Eiji said.
He got no response though. He sensed that she was sleeping. It was better that she did. She would recover faster that way. He finally got to the village. He walked over to an empty looking hut, but was stopped by two people. They pointed their spears.
"Do not come any nearer demon!" one of them shouted.
"Ho, noble taijiya, for I mean you, or any of the village any harm. I am Eiji, Lord of the Western Lands. We would just like a place to stay and a meal to eat. And we'll pay." Eiji explained.
"Nay, Lord Eiji, for all but we taijiya are sick with terrible illnesses, and all houses are filled with paitients. We are all that can take care of the village. We have no empty room to offer, for they are all taken by sick paitients." the same one explained.
"Then I shall stay in a room with sick people. I will even help take care of them, and I'll pay." Eiji said.
"Nay, m'lord, for payment is not necessary, but only a few gold coins will be asked of you." the taijiya said.
"Aye, I will accept. What is your name, noble taijiya?" Eiji said while following the taijiyas to a room.
"I am Katsumi, and this is my partner, Saburo." Katsumi replied.
"Nice to meet you Saburo." Eiji said while bowing. He got no response
"Do not mind Saburo. He is mute." Katsumi explained while Saburo shook his head.
"Ah, so he is." Eiji said while setting Ayame down.
"Aye. If you desire anything, then please let either of us know, and we will try to do what we can." Katsumi said.
"Nay, for I need nothing but a meal. Forget that for now. Let us tend to the sick." Eiji said while tying up his sleeves with a piece of cloth.
"Please follow me my lord." and with that, the three left Ayame to rest.
Eiji wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm. He got up and walked outside. He received a nice cool breeze. He decided to take a break after four hours straight of tending to paitients. He took a stroll thru the village cemetery to see who used to live here. He was there for a few minutes until one particular grave struck him. It read;
Kameji Tokugawa
Leader of the Taijiya Clan
May he Rest In Peace
He read the grave over and over and over again.
"Kameji Tokugawa, Taijiya clan, Rest In Peace…" he kept whispering himself.
He was, however, woken up from his trance when he felt a hand on his shoulder.
"Are you alright m'lord?" Katsumi said.
"Um, yes, yes I am fine. Thank you." Eiji said while shaking his head lightly.
"Alright. I just wanted to let you know that dinner will be served soon." he explained to Eiji.
Eiji only nodded his head. Katsumi then left. Then, he did the most outrageous thing. He started to dig up the grave of Kameji Tokugawa.
"You better be worth my time Kameji." was all he said.
He finally hit a coffin. He grinned. He made sure no one was around, then pulled it out.
