Thank you all! I'm so glad everyone loves this story. Thank you for the suggestions. I will try to add them in. I haven't got many questions about this story so, I'm guessing it must make sense. dances Emm..I read over chapter three and I think you might get a little confused in it so, I'll fix it later and re-post it. But, for now let's get on with the story and thank you for your wonderful reviews. Please keep them up:D
Kagome wadded out of the water slowly. She had swam to the shore of the river. It had trees around it and she was freezing. It was the middle of the night. What was she suppose to do but...Whine.
"We lost everything! Our food, our supplies...My clothes." She kind of whispered the last part but, there was no denying that it was true. She was in a sopping wet white frilly night gown. She had no shoes and no well...undergarments. She sighed. Inuyasha swam up right behind her. She could she Miroku and the warden coming up the rear. They were all alright.
Inuyasha shook off the water and looked around. Yes. This was the place. He remembered it. They were on their way to Hamunaptra. Inuyasha heard Onigumo's voice. He'd survived. How disappointing.
"Hey Inuyasha! Looks to me like I got all the horses!" Onigumo called to him in a sing-song voice.
"Hey Onigumo! Looks to me like you're on the wrong side of the River!" He did the same. Onigumo chuckled for a second then, looked around. Inuyasha heard him saying many things to him that were physically and possibly mentally impossible so, he ignored him.
It was too freakin' hot. WAY TOO HOT...for this crap! Miroku would not stop saying stupid jokes and the warden was laughing like a idiot. Inuyasha glanced at Kagome judging form her face she felt the same way he did. He desperately wished that his clothes were still soaking wet. He probably at this point would drink the water out of them. They were nearly there but, they most definitely needed to stop somewhere to get some transportation.
"Mr. Inuyasha.." Kagome poked him in the back of his head,"Thank you."
"For what?" He looked confused.
"For saving me from that man." Kagome said simply.
"Oh, that. That was nothing. I owed you anyway, you saved my life." Kagome just smiled at this. He could n't even imagine how uncomfortable she was. Looking at her, he could see that she didn't have any shoes on and that night gown was frilly. So, she was very hot. At least he had shoes.
Without warning he grabbed Kagome and started carrying her through the sand. She looked flushed for a second then, angry.
"What are you doing!" She yelled.
"Carrying you. You crazy girl, there are scorpions in the sand you know." Inuyasha said matter-of-factly.
"Well, um...Thank you again." Inuyasha just grunted. They walked through the desert in silence. Until they came upon a town. It was small but, it had shade and water so, it was good enough.
"Okay," Inuyasha started as he set Kagome down," Miroku..you go get us some camels. I'll get some water. Kagome," He looked at her," Go get yourself some clothes. And you, the warden guy...just do what ya' do." Everyone went their separate ways. After a few minutes Inuyasha heard yelling. He had the water and looked Miroku way. He was yelling at some guy with 4 camels.
"We only want 4! Four!" He was yelling at the top of his lungs. The man with the camels kept shaking the reigns and yelling at him in his language.
Inuyasha yelled to Miroku ,"Will you just give the man his money?" Miroku scowled at him and then slammed the money in the man's hand. He took the camels from him and turned to leave.
"It's horrible the price of these ugly things." He yelled as he neared Inuyasha. Inuyasha smirked at him.
"You could've got them for free. All you had to do is give them your sister."
"Well, awfully tempting wasn't it?" Miroku sighed. Just as he said that Kagome walked up to them smiling. She looked beautiful. She had a small black veil over her face but, it was thin enough to see her smile. The other part was a modest dress embroidered with gold designs and little tiny slipper shoes. The dress was fluffy and it puffed out. The whole thing was a dark purple.
"Awfully.." Inuyasha whispered to himself. Gaping at her. She didn't notice.
They took off on their camels. The warden was the first to go to sleep. Then, Miroku. Then, Kagome and pretty soon Inuyasha was the only one awake. Kagome was falling backwards on her camel. Inuyasha straightened her into a position where she was leaning onto his shoulder while on her camel. He stayed awake to make sure she was alright.
–In the Morning–
They were there now. Hamunaptra was not even a mile away. Kagome was awake now staring into the sun coming over the horizon. Inuyasha had stopped moving so, she assumed that they were there. But, there was nothing there but. Sand and...and...nothing. She heard horses. She turned to see the Americans moving up next to them.
"Hey Inuyasha!' One of the Americans called over," That bet still on?"
"Yep." Inuyasha said smugly,"How 'bout I know you guys names so, I'll know who I beat?" the American smirked but, answered anyway.
"The name's Jack," He pointed to himself then, gestured to his friends," He's Fred and Hojo." Hojo had glasses and short hair. Inuyasha got bad vibes from him. Not that they weren't both trigger-happy Americans, he just didn't like the feel of him. Jack and Fred looked like they were the usual ignorant losers who gave America a bad name. He stopped thinking about them and turned back to the sun. It was almost time.
"You ready?" He directed his question to Kagome. She looked confused,"We're about to be shown the way." He gestured to the sun. It immediately rose over the horizon and the place in front of them began to squirm. A huge palace like building was in front of them. It was Hamunaptra. Kagome smiled. The Americans grinned. Inuyasha sighed and Miroku woke up.
"Hamunaptra!" Jack smirked out.
"Here we go again." Inuyasha smacked his camel. The race had begun. Kagome knew about it too. In fact, she looked pretty good. She was crunning he camel gently hitting it. She was ahead of Inuyasha by a little bit. Inuyasha was riding smoothly. Onigumo came up. He hit him with his riding stick.
"Hey! Ow!" Inuyasha grabbed the stick and threw Onigumo off his horse. The same satisfied look returned to his face. Kagome smiled as Onigumo got trampled under hooves and camel feet.
"Serves you right." She said as she rod on. Inuyasha and her were ahead of the Americans and Miroku and the warden. Kagome rode next to Inuyasha for a moment smiling at him. She crunned her camel. It groaned and rushed forward.
"Whoa!" She gasped as she was rushed onward into te legendary city of Hamunaptra.
"WhooHoo!" Go Kagome!" Miroku cheered his sister. They'd won $500 dollars and the respect of the ignorant Americans. Inuyasha smiled. She was one amazing girl.
Well, That's the end of this. It's late right now. I'm going to try to make the next chapter really long so, that I can get the freakin' mummy in the story and get with the title. This is taking longer then I expected and I'm tired. But, I'm trying to consider your request. You know I do not plan on going with the actual story at the end there will be a little twist in some stuff. I'm not going to tell you that it would spoil the ending. Anyway, R&R and please suggest what you will. :)
P.S. Oh! The Hojo thing. I'm sorry I just really don't like Hojo and so, I'm apologizing in advance for what's going to happen to him. depraved grin
