Chapter 6: Anger Management
Disclaimer: No I do not own InuYasha.. nor do I really want to.. *bashes hanyou on head* you stupid baka.. left me all on my own when I needed your help with things..
InuYasha: *rubs lump on head* I was.. busy.. yeah busy.. *grins evilly*
Danielle: Okay so when I was losing friends and stuff like that and having all these problems-
InuYasha: *covers Danie's mouth* Why I would never- *is hit by Miroku's staff*
Miroku: Let go of Danie-sama.. I do believe she got a few great ideas for Akiko and Kaori and myself am I correct?
Danielle: *smiles under InuYasha's hand* Yes I did.. actually I got quite a few good ones.. but for me to go on with InuYasha and Kagome Im going to have to concentrate on Kagome and Akiko and Kaori.. but because of that there will be a lot of Sango and Akiko scenes as they do get along so well.. *is worried by jealous look on Miroku's face* but.. uh not as good as you two will be ^^ let me promise you Miroku I will not let Akiko screw Sango on my time but her own time is a different story. Got me?
Miroku: *grumbles and kicks Danie in the shin* Yeah.. on with the fic...
Kagome woke up hog-tied and gagged in a foreign village. 'Oh this is just too great.. not as if I havent dealt with this type of situation before...' A younger version of Kaori stepped out of the shadows after the villagers were done peering into her face and talking amongst themselves. She hadnt understood a word they had said. Being that it was in a dialect other than what she knew.. and she had thought she was well versed in foriegn languages.
"Dsl ziv blf?" Her puzzlement must've shown on her face, as Kaori spit out another babble of words and dashed off like she was on a mission. "Qfhg z hvzlmw ovg nv tvg blf hlnvgsrmt..." Kagome shook her head trying to dispel the rag at her mouth.
"InuYasha.." She called out once she had gotten it completely off. "InuYasha where are you?" Turning her head, she tried to see behind her but it was confined as they had hooked her up to a tree stump to keep her from moving around overtly much.
"K-kagome?" Came a weak call behind her.
She wanted to weep for joy when she heard his small voice. "InuYasha.. listen to me.. can you move?" She wriggled around trying to dislodge the ropes that bound her wrists.
"Yeah.. I think I can.. Kagome?" His voice sounded hesitant. "Why cant I understand what these people are saying?"
"Because they arent speaking the same language that you are dear." Kagome answered as she tried again to pull and tug on the ropes. "InuYasha if you can move make sure you try to get out of the ropes that are binding you. And if you can make sure you get far away from here until I can come get you.. I am not entirely sure of what these people will do to us okay?"
She listened to him grunt and groan as he tugged at the ropes. She assumed he was working with his teeth to get loose. After a while the sounds stopped, making her turn her head trying to see if he had listened to her and gotten away. Instead she felt a tug at her own ropes and sharp teeth catch her on the wrist. She jerked but kept silent realizing it was InuYasha. "I told you to go. I dont want you to be hurt by this InuYasha." He growled deep in his chest but kept on cutting away her bonds.
Kagome heard Kaori before she even saw her. Kaori let out a squeak as she saw that InuYasha was loose. What she had been holding in her hands dropped to the ground. Kagome looked at the device curiously. It resembled a modern day earphone. Kagome looked up at the young Kaori. When InuYasha freed her she moved forward and picked up the funny thing.
Kaori watched as the black haired girl put the translator in her ear. "Can you understand me now?" She asked tentavely.
Kagome looked at her strangely. "Yeah I can understand you now.. Where are we?" She took InuYasha's hand in her own and gripped it tightly.
"You are in my village. Do not be alarmed, we have no intention of eating you or anything cannabalistic like that." She smiled at Kagome. "But we had found you on our territory so the warriors of the village went out and took you here to know what buisness you have with the people here."
"The buisness that I have is entirely personal but it doesnt involve the people here... Do you know of an Akiko?" Kagome asked.
Kaori's face grew more stern. She eyed Kagome and InuYasha speculatively seeming to size them up. "What is it that you would want with him?"
"Oh good so he is here. Thought that maybe you guys had grown up in a different village from eachother.. this sure does make it easier." Kagome smiled at her and went forward tugging InuYasha along behind her.
"Kagome.." InuYasha tugged at her hand. "I dont like this girl.. she smells like the other girl from before." He whispered to her as he scooted closer to her body. "Why do they smell the same Kagome?" Then he remembered something. "When it gets dark.. and youre a hanyou.. are you going to be okay? I mean.. they might try to kill you."
"Ill be fine InuYasha. They wont harm me I promise you." She whipsered back to him. "Kaori?" The girl jumped at her name. "I need to speak with you and Akiko in private if you will.. tonight if at all possible.. I will be at the village entrance at dark.. do not wander from the village for anything until you have spoken with me is that clear?"
"I have no clue how you know my name or his.. but we will meet you... I cannot promise to stay in the village however. We do have other matters to attend to." Kaori looked at her defiently.
"Well if you want to chance your lives then do as you please." Kagome said tersely then turned on her heel and left. InuYasha glared at Kaori then ran off to trail after Kagome.
"Kagome.. I still dont like that girl.. why are you helping her?" InuYasha asked not wanting her to keep on trying to help that rude twit.
"Because in the future.. I made a promise that I would do that.. and when you make a promise it is your duty to make sure that you fulfil it no matter what you want to do later." She sighed and leaned against a tree when they were far enough away from the village.
"Kagome.. what I dont understand is why you want them to meet you at night when they are most likely not to recognize you?.. they dont have good noses so they wont be able to sniff you to tell if it is you or not.. all they can do is look.." InuYasha frowned wondering how in the world someone could stand to live without a good nose on their face. "Plus if they dont recognize you.. who's to say that they wont just club you over the head and haul you off like before?" He frowned up at her.
Kagome smiled down at him. "Ill be fine InuYasha.. dont worry so much. Even if they cannot smell me I look like myself in the face enough for them to be able to tell that it is me or at least I think...Besides if they still want to club me this time Ill be awake and will make sure they dont get the chance to do so." She frowned as she thought of her letting them capture InuYasha and herself.. 'No I cannot let that happen.'
His little claws bit into her fingers as he held her hand. "Kagome..?"
"Yes InuYasha?" She said as he jolted her out of her depressive thoughts.
"Im kinda hungry... lets go get something to eat then ne?" InuYasha said quietly. His long white hair fell into his eyes due to a wayward wind that started to blow. His fangs bit into his lip as he waited for her to come back to him from her thoughts. She had done this before to him.. it always worried him. He couldnt let anything happen to her.. She was his and he was going to protect all that he had.

Kaori was determined to find out what that girl was all about. 'How could she want to meet MY Akiko?.. Has he been seeing other women?.. Since when did this begin?' She heaved out a sigh feeling jealousy fill her. 'I should not be thinking these things.. He would never do this to me as we are... well as I think we are soon to be betrothed.. and everything.. He seems to like me.. after all.. would he flirt with someone he didnt like?' Being so absorbed in her thoughts she didnt realize she had walked so far.
Looking around her, she saw that she was in the small grove a little outside her village. Akiko was standing in the waist deep grass seeming to be looking at something over the mountains. "What are you doing here?"
She jumped when she heard his quiet voice across the field. He had a way of telling when someone was approaching that never failed to amaze her as she had been quite silent on her way here. "Im sorry for disturbing you Akiko.. I didnt realize I had walked this far." She glanced over her shoulder and saw the smoke from all the hearth fires in the village.
"Oh well.. I needed to speak with you anyway." She was surprised to hear him voice what she had just about said herself. "Its about that girl that they brought into the village."
Kotori swallowed past the lump that had formed in her throat. "What of her?" Kaori asked careful to keep her voice light and calm.
"She isnt precisely how she appears." Akiko's calm blue eyes turned to hers. She could see the worry that he had, but would not voice. "I know of what you want to tell me.. Yes she is asking to meet us tonight at the gate and I would advise against it except for the fact that there is no way that I would miss it." She nodded and sat down in the grasses.
Akiko watched his woman-child sit in the high grasses. Her entirety that was her, was buried in the grasses. Walking to where he had last seen her, he crouched down in front of her. "Am I no longer appealing to you?" His cool eyes were now guarded and closed to her. For all she could tell, he may as well have been speaking of the weather.
"I find you no more appealing than does the flower to the sun." She said after thinking for a little while. "Is that a satisfactory answer for you?"
"A little flowery for my needs.. but yes it is sufficient." Leaning forward he pressed his lips to hers. Akiko inhaled her scent, entranced by all the beauty she possessed. She amazed him at every turn. Now was no different. Kaori slid her hands around his back and pulled him til his body touched all of hers. Akiko sighed. "Kaori.. no.. W-we cannot.." He took in a deep breath and pushed himself to sit on his haunches. "I'll meet you by the gate where she ordered us to meet her.. other than that I think it would be in your best interest to go back to the village."
Kaori felt shamed. Her face heated as she shoved to her feet. "Good day Akiko..." She turned on her heel and marched away with a straight back. 'I cant believe I actually acted on what I wanted... and then he pulls this kind of a stunt?' She groaned as she slammed onto her bed when she reached her room.
