Chapter 4: Meeting a Family Member
After a long break. The group was off and walking again after about 15 minutes of walking. Both Kagome and Jersey stopped short. "Let me guess jewel shard?" Inu-Yasha said looking back at them. "Yes there is one its coming up ahead of us. I can feel it." Jersey said to him "Yes she's right theirs only one. Wow your shard powers a getting better." Kagome said congratulating Jersey. "Thanks." Came Jersey's reply as she looked away not wanting them to see the look in her face.
"I bet it may be a Snake or Bear Demon. They like to hang out this deep in the woods and it is very close to their territory. You know?" Sango said speaking up. "Oh and Miroku remove your hand from my ass!" Sango screamed at Miroku before turning and knocking him out. "I feel better now." Sango stated looking at everyone while she dusted off her hands. "Ok then everyone ready to go get that shard?" Jersey said to everyone. Before she turned and started walking in the direction of the shard.
When they got to the clearing where the demon with the shard was located. Inu-Yasha was the first to jump into action. Pulling out tetsuiga. "Kagome. Where's the jewel shard?" Inu-Yasha screamed back at her. "It's located in his left for arm!" Kagome screamed back at him. "Wow! Watch that hand there!" Jersey screamed at Kagome. As they jumped out of the way of the demons hand coming towards them. Kagome let out a scream. Barely missing the demon's hand. Which was just enough to keep the demon distracted, and enough time for Inu-Yasha to slice his arm off. "Grab the jewel shard Kagome!" Inu-Yasha ordered. Kagome walked over and plucked up the jewel shard from the demon's arm. After purifying it. She put it with the others.
So far the group had a fourth of the jewel. Naraku had a half of it. And the other forth was still floating around here somewhere. "OK. Guys lets keep walking. I think we can get about 3 miles to 4 before we stop to set up camp." Inu-Yasha stated to the group and started walking some more.
At The Camp For The Night
"Awww thank you Inu-Yasha, for putting us near a Hot Springs. I needed some nice relaxation." Kagome said very pleased with the location of where they where camping. "Hey, Me and Kagome's going to go take a nice dip in the hot spring. You got it?" Jersey asked rounding up her things to take to the Hot Springs with her. "Got yah. I'll watch Miroku." Inu-Yasha said going back to staring into the fire.
Kagome and Jersey where enjoying there lovely dip in the Hot Springs. Till they heard a loud Shippo scream. Coming from camp. "What the hell was that?" Jersey asked sounding worried over Shippo. "I feel Sesshoumaru is around." Kagome replied. Jumping out of the spring and throwing on her clothes. "Sesshoumaru? Who's he?" Jersey asked also throwing on her clothes and pulling out her pocketknife and shoving it into her jacket pocket. "Inu's older half brother. He's an ass. All he wants is the sword most of the time. Then the two of them fight each other. But it seems to be worse then that this time." Kagome replied while she sat on the ground and put her shoes and socks on. "And I haven't heard of him till now. Why?" Jersey asked throwing on her steel toe boots and lacing them up. "Because Inu never talks about him. Until he decides to show up. And then after they fight. Inu bitches over it for awhile then its silent about him again." Kagome shot back as she started running towards camp. With Jersey in tow.
Jersey and Kagome came into the clearing just to see Inu-Yasha go flying past them. Wow buddy Jersey thought. Then she saw the dude who she guessed was Sesshoumaru start to head towards him. And that's when she jumped out in front of him and pulled out her pocketknife. "I don't think so buddy." Jersey said blocking Sesshoumaru from Inu-Yasha. "Oh a feisty one are you?" Sesshoumaru asked with a slight smirk on his face. "You seem very strong. I could use you as me little pet." Sesshoumaru said her in a slightly seductive voice, while Sesshoumaru ran the back of his hand along Jerseys jaw line. Jersey took her pocketknife and swiped Sesshoumaru across his face with it. "Don't touch me." Jersey replied with a sharpness in her voice. "EWWW." Sesshoumaru said shaking his head slightly and running his tips over his cheek and then looking at them. Seeing blood that she had drawn. "You're in for it now you little bitch." Sesshoumaru said grabbing Jersey by the throat and holding her slightly over the ground.
"Die you Bastard." Jersey said before hocking a lougie into Sesshoumaru's face. Sesshoumaru didn't seem to be moved by the spit in his face. He took his hand and just wiped the spit from his face. After he got the spit off his face, Sesshoumaru caught a whiff of her scent. Why does she smell so different from any human or demon I have ever met. I smell the slight scent of a mail but her scent alone. There's something about it. Something I want to know about. Sesshoumaru thought to himself. And then setting Jersey back onto the ground. Sesshoumaru turned and started walking away. But he turned around right before he left the clearing. "Round up your stuff. And come along your going to stay with me for as long as you like." Or as long as it takes me to figure this women out, and find out what she's hiding. Sesshoumaru thoughtas he stood there and watched her rub her neck and help mutts bitch with her things.
After they rounded up all there things. They started to follow Sesshoumaru. Kagome helped Inu-Yasha on the walk, with Shippo riding on her shoulder, while Sango dragged along a still unconscious Miroku. Jersey was walking behind Sesshoumaru. Watching him waiting for him to turn and pounce. He's up to something. I know it. Jersey thought to herself. When he tries it I'll be ready for him.
