Chapter #3:
"Yes. If not today...defanantly tomorrow." Raven sat in the middle of the hut's room, slightly murmuring to herself.
Sesshoumaru was becoming tired of standing. He slowly walked over to Raven, sitting next to her and putting his arm around one of her shoulders. Slightly annoyed, Raven figured she shouldn't fight it and shrugged, letting him for the time being. Seiya, sitting next to Ray still, stood up and walked to the door, sticking half of her body outside, pushing the bamboo door open slightly out of her way. She blinked a few times, slowly turning her head toward Ray and InuMe, almost smiling nervously.
"Hmn...Hiei and Inuyasha are here." Seiya peered at the two demons walking slowly up the dirt road. She could slightly hear them talking in conversation.
Ray almost doubled over, but stumbled to her feet, sprinting out the door. InuMe was right behind her, almost playing leap frog with Ray, trying to get around her to Inuyasha. Hiei saw Ray and began to walk slightly faster to her. When close enough Ray jumped at Hiei, hugging him tightly as he returned her huggle. Inuyasha stood his ground when he saw InuMe. Blinking a bit at her running so fast, he turned the opposite way, getting ready to sprint away when InuMe appeared infront of him, grinning and putting her hands behind her back. She was almost peering down at him. Inuyasha staggered back a bit, his eyes getting larger.
"Hey silly!" InuMe laughed and brought him to a hug, almost taking him to a tackle.
"Uehhheh. Hey...Inu...Me." He brought his arms around her, as two small specks formed around his two cheeks.
Satso came running out the door a little late, looking around to see if another one of them had arrived. But, to her dismay, the one she was looking for wasn't there. She kept looking around, thinking and hoping he would come.
Raven and Sesshoumaru walked out of the hut to catch up with everyone. Raven walked up to Satso, nudging her slightly with her elbow.
"Y'okay? "
Satso looked for him still, her eyes glinting slightly.
"He'll come Satso. I'm sure he just has something he needs done or is doing himself." InuMe tilted her head over to Satso, while on Inuyasha's back; her arms around his neck and chest; and her legs wrapped around to his sides.
Ray was snuggled up to Hiei, while the two locked arms. She was holding onto Hiei with a lot more force than he was to her. He looked over at her, smiling slightly at the way she held to him. Ray loved the rare moments when he smiled and stood a step over, closer to him.
Seiya, still on the ground from being trampled by Ray and InuMe, stood sluggishly to her feet.
"Maybe now's a good time to get goin'...It's starting to rain." Her eyes were in swirls.
Inuyasha looked up at the half dog youkai InuMe on his back. He smirked to himself slightly, then starting to head back in the hut. They all started to walk back inside, as the rain started to fall. But Sesshoumaru stayed behind, looking off in the distance, wondering where his brother was and what he was seeking. He closed his eyes a few seconds, turning around and walking to the same old hut along with the others, not thinking on it much longer.
