Chapter 5, Just waiting

"Well?" Asked Inuyasha finally. "Is that damned flower here?"

"Mmh…" Kouga just answered, still looking around. Then his face turned happier. "Yes! There."

"Great, Miroku and Sango will be okay!" Kagome exulted.

"Let's take it and leave already." Inuyasha said and took the flowers Kouga had pointed.

"Why did you help us?" Asked Kagome.

"I'd do anything for you." He answered.

Kagome saw Ayame's sad face and didn't know what to do for a while. She knew Ayame liked Kouga a lot, but he just didn't seem to understand her feelings.

"Well, umm… you know, are you two… are you going to help us fight Kagemaru?" Kagome asked finally, when she managed to change the subject.

"Of course we are!" Answered Kouga and Ayame at the same time.

Then they realize that they had said 'we', and both of them blushed a bit. Kagome smiled happily, and Inuyasha just sighed.

"I have to revenge my comrades." Said Kouga.

"And I'll help because of all he caused to us all." Said Ayame.

"Well it's decided then! Until Miroku and Sango are okay, we'll go and kill him!" Decided Kagome.

"What? I have to join with that wimpy wolf?" Yelped Inuyasha.

"If I wouldn't have to revenge my comrades I'd leave that stupid thing for you mutt!" Snapped Kouga.

"Well I bet I'd win him much faster than you!" Said Inuyasha.

"Stop that already you two." Sighed Kagome. "Inuyasha. Osuwari."

"You're cold-hearted…" Mumbled Inuyasha.

"Are they always like that?" Ayame asked quietly.

"Whenever they meet." Kagome sighed.

They all returned to Kaede's village. Miroku and Sango were both pale and sweating. Sango seemed to be asleep but Miroku had great pains. Shippou was sleeping.

"Are we too late?" Asked Kagome, and Kaede noticed them.

"No, everything is still the same." She answered.

"Good." Sighed Kagome. "Here."

Kaede took the flowers and put them into a cup. Then she started to make the medicine, when the others just stood there and waited. Finally Inuyasha get bored to just doing nothing.

"Aww, how long will that medicine making take?" He asked.

"Be patient." Kaede answered. "If I won't do it properly, it doesn't help and may kill them."

"That's right mutt, so just shut up your big mouth." Said Kouga.

"Don't start that again." Sighed Ayame.

"I'm bored to this waiting!" Inuyasha huffed. "I'll go outside."

"Will they be okay after that?" Kagome asked after Inuyasha had gone.

"I hope so. It seems you got some new allies on your way back there." Kaede answered.

"Yeah, Kouga-kun and Ayame-chan will help us defeat Kagemaru." Kagome said, smiling.

"Where is that Kagemaru now? Hiding somewhere?" Ayame asked.

"We have no clue." Answered Kagome. "I hope we could…"

"Don't worry, I'll smell him for sure." Said Kouga, making Ayame sad once again.

"Err… I'm quite sure Inuyasha will smell him… he has fought with him already." Kagome hurried to say, trying to make Ayame on better mood.

"Humph! That mutt could never have –" Kouga started, but never got a chance to end.

Suddenly a huge earthquake made them fell over. Ayame fell against Kouga, and Kagome managed to run to the door. She saw giant scars in the ground, made by a sword she knew really well… in fact almost too well. She saw Inuyasha too.

"Go back inside!" He yelled. "Hurry up, it's dangerous here!"

She saw a figure coming nearer from the smoke, and recognized him right away. He was back again!

U have to wait long before u know who is back…
