I'm tired of this. As much as I enjoy the company of Kagome, Shippo, and even the lecherous monk on occasion, Inuyasha has drained the last of my patience. While I can see Kagome's part in their argument, the hanyou's taken it a step too far. He's angry, I get it, we all do, but sometimes the way he talks to her really gets to me. He's lucky it's not me he's talking to like that. The boy would lose an ear.
"Sango," Miroku interrupted my thoughts.
"Hmm?" I replied, irritated. I wanted to get back to the village. We were only an hour away and I reeked of blood and dirt. We had been in wolf country, trying to get through. We'd caught a rumor that Naraku had a hideout in the north, and we wanted to see for ourselves if it was true. Inuyasha, of course, figured we could collect some shikon shards along the way. Of course we didn't, though we came close. We were at the border where wolf country and snow meet, and it happened. Bear demons. Three of them. Even I was terrified, and I've been trianed all my life to take out things like that. Well, they had circled us for a while, and Inuyasha had been growing increasingly uneasy, growling this way and that. Of course, he didn't bother to tell us about what he smelled, only to stay away from the trees. Well, that didn't work.
They came crashing inbetween branches, teeth and humongous claws gnashing the air feet away from us. Kagome let out an "eep" and shied into the middle of us, clutching Shippo to her. Inuyasha leapt towards the largest, swinging Tetsusaiga like an idiot. The bear batted him away, pissing him off and only making him swear more than usual. We won. Barely.
Kouga had come in a whirlwind, moving Kagome to safety when a bear got too close. This, of course, really hit a nerve within Inuyasha, and he slaughtered the bear he'd been battling. Houshi-sama sucked the little one into the kazaana, having lured it away from the rest of us. I broke the mid-sized one's neck with a sickening crunch under Hiraikotsu. I winced. Still hated that noise, though I should be used to it by now. Kagome had crept back towards us, stepping around the bear carcasses. She murmured something about 'Goldehlockusu and du tree bearsu'...I don't know. Inuyasha's face was inches from Kouga's, who stood casually looking towards Kagome. "What. Are. You. Doing. Here?" Inuyasha was piiiiiiiiissed. Great.
"Mmm..what do you care mutt? I saved your ass, didn't I?" Hahaha..he was admiring his nails.
"You saved mine!" Kagome popped in brightly, trying to step between the two. Inuyasha's eyes nearly fell out as she pushed herself against him, back away from Kouga. That'a girl.
"Who asked you!?" Inuyasha was flabbergasted, doing what he did when he was flustered by Kagome. He got mad at her.
"Well it's the truth!" she shot back, crossing her arms. "I live here, by the way, moron." Kouga was looking down his nose at Inuyasha.
"Then I guess I'll just have to kick your ass in your own house, won't I fleabag?" Inuyasha was talking low. Not good.
"Ahem. Time to go, Inuyasha." Kagome tugged on his sleeve, pulling him from Kouga."I'm not done yet, wench, he's gonna get-" "SIT!"
"Mmmfffow..." Inuyasha was facedown in the dirt. Kouga was laughing, reached for Kagome's hand. "Now, tell me again why you hang out with this idiot again?" He was smirking at her, laughing internally at her blush. Man, he was seriously pervy. I wonder if she noticed at all. If Miroku ever did this kind of thing to me, he'd get a huge knot on the head.
"Oh Kouga! Thanks for your help! We gotta get goin' now!" she pulled her hands from his and moved to drag a just-rising Inuyasha away from the scene. "Yeah, well, I'll always be around to save you when he can't, Kagome. Remember that,'cause I have a feeling it'll be often.." He snickered, but his face dropped when she reached for Inuyasha's sleeves, tugging on him. He was growling, trying to get back to Kouga. I saw a scowl there, but only for an instant before he ran away. "Sango?"
"What!?" I turned, glaring into the monk's face. "I asked if you were thirsty at all," he said quietly, face hardening. Yes, that was a little mean. I was only being snappy because I was hungry and dirty and Inuyasha was irritating me. A lot.
"Sorry," I murmured, shaking my head. He looked ahead, where Kagome was marching with Shippo next to her. Inuyasha had fled to the trees. We all knew he was around, and he knew we knew, so why he continued to act like he'd run off on his own was a mystery."Demons," I muttered. Miroku turned his head.
"Is their squabbling affecting you that much?" He moved a few steps ahead, and I began to answer. "Well, it does get old after a while," I didn't have time to say anything after that or reply to what he said. I didn't even hear it. Two arms had come from a low hanging tree branch and caught me up, covering my mouth and holding my arms at my sides. I didn't even have time to kick behind me, for goodness' sake! I was being crushed against something hard and very warm, and I could barely breathe much less make out what was going on. The wind forced me to keep my eyes shut; where it came from, I couldn't tell you.
My first thought was Kagura. What she wanted with me, I was at a loss. She would kidnap Kagome before me, and her presence would explain the wind.. I'd have to wait. I couldn't move, crippled as I was from wind and pressure. Have to wait to escape, but before I did I was gonna kick somebody's ass. Whoever's ass this was was going to be veeeerrry sorry. I may've dropped Hirakotsu, but I still had the katana. These arms would be twitching on the ground very soon.
If ya want more (yeah right), review!
