Last Time:
"Hey Mai, do you want to come with us to the village?" Kagome asked.
"No Kagome!" Inuyasha mouthed to her. Kagome only ignored him and asked again.
"So how about it? Do you want to come?"
Inuyasha slapped his forehead.
"I don't know how Mai will take this." He thought.
"Um…"Mai said unsure. She scooted closer to Inuyasha looking really worried.
"There aren't…humans, are there?" she asked Inuyasha.
"Of course! Have you ever been to a village without them!" he replied. She pondered this.
"No." she whispered. Her expression seemed worried.
"Mai, why are you worried about humans?" Kagome asked.
Mai looked desperately at Inuyasha.
"If anyone understands, it would be him." She thought. He nodded to her as if reading her mind.
"Feh! You don't have to worry about that in this village! Besides, if they even think about it they'll have to answer to me!" he said plainly. Mai nodded but still had a look of confusion on her face.
"But haven't they ever…"
"Yeah but they wouldn't anymore. Besides, you're a demon. If they get edgy just kill em'." He smirked. Mai smirked back. Kagome was getting increasingly angrier with the both of them. No matter how hard she tried to understand what they were talking about, she couldn't.
"Okay! What the heck are you two talking about!" she yelled. Inuyasha laughed and turned for the hut. Kagome quickly ran to his side, fuming. Mai reluctantly followed. The morning had finally revealed the sun and illuminated the sky a bright red.
"What was that about!" Kagome yelled.
"Calm down! Mai just didn't want to go to a village that was gonna taunt her and whatnot!" He replied. Kagome was silent.
"I get it. They both went through the same thing in their lives. Not being accepted and always an outsider." She thought. As they approached the village Kagome noticed Mai edging closer and closer to Inuyasha.
"She better not get any ideas! I don't like how she's…" Kagome glanced at Mai, "Dang it now she grabbed his arm!" she thought. Kagome shook her head of these thoughts.
"I don't see why I'm letting myself get jealous for no reason! She's just getting more nervous the deeper we get into the village. Uh…I guess just in case…" Kagome slowly slipped her fingers in with Inuyasha's and continued on as if it were nothing. Inuyasha made no reaction as well, except for the slight blush that crossed his cheeks. Mai dropped her grip on his arm as they approached the hut and resorted to hiding behind the both of them, her shyness overtaking her.
"What if they won't accept a half breed?" she whispered in Inuyasha's ear.
"If they accept me, then they surely will have no problem accepting you." He whispered back.
They walked into the hut slowly. It's really hard to walk forward when a certain half demon is dragging you back.
"Mai! Let go!" Kagome snapped. At hearing Kagome's voice, little Shippo went running to her. Mai finally let go and Kagome brought the little kitsune into her arms.
"Oh Kagome I was worried! I woke up and you were nowhere to be found! Neither was Inuyasha!" he said worriedly. Kagome giggled at how worked up he was.
"Don't worry so much! I only went on a walk." She replied.
"Oh. So you're sure you're okay. Inuyasha didn't do anything stupid did he?" he asked. Inuyasha growled at the mention of his name.
"So Inuyasha?" Miroku started.
"What do you want Monk?" Inuyasha asked.
"I was wondering who your friend was." Inuyasha suddenly remembered his new hanyou friend that was hiding behind him.
"Oh! This is Mai!" He said pulling her out from behind him. She slowly looked around the room. The man Inuyasha had been talking to, the monk, was sitting in the corner next to a woman about Kagome's age. And next to the woman was a cat! Her heart leaped. Then there was this old woman cooking what seemed to be miso soup in the fireplace.
"Mai this is Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kirara. Oh and the old hag by the fire is Kaede." Inuyasha said. Mai shyly waved to them all.
"Mai, where did you get such beauty? Would you take the honor of bearing my children? " Miroku asked staring to get up. Sango frowned and backhanded him sending him back to the ground.
"How many times must I remind you that that's no way to talk to a woman!" she told him, her voice slowly rising to a yell. Those two began bickering, forgetting all about Mai. Kilala on the other hand got up and ran to greet Mai. They converged in a pleasant conversation. Kagome and Shippo went outside to play together while Inuyasha watched. The sun had rose a lot and it was now roasting outside. And the villagers that were working the fields had no hope of a cloud possibly blocking to sun. There were no clouds out at all.
About half an hour later Miroku and Sango stopped their bickering and decided to get to know Mai. They joined in on hers and Kirara's conversation although when it was Kirara's turn to speak they couldn't understand.
"She talks a lot about you." Mai told Sango. "She never ceases to mention your name."
They smiled at each other.
"So Mai, about my offer earlier…" slap before he could even finish, Sango reacted. She left her handprint on his cheek.
"You perverted Monk! Leave her alone! She has no desire to bear your children!" Sango yelled.
"But you never know until you ask…' punch Miroku was sent flying across the room. He sat up and rubbed his head. "That hurt too much to be Sango." He looked up and saw an angry Inuyasha glaring at him, arms crossed at his chest.
"You! What the hell!"
Then he turned to Mai, grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her out of the hut.
"Perverted Monk!" he exclaimed.
"You would think he would learn his lesson by now!" Kagome said disbelievingly. She and Shippo walked up to them, holding a rubber ball.
"Hey Mai! Do you want a tour of the village?" Kagome asked. Mai thought about this.
"Sure, sounds fun!" she said through a smile. Mai ran over to Kagome and they hooked their arms together.
"Shipo, stay here and play with Inuyasha!" Kagome yelled throwing the ball to him.
"Lets go!" Mai and Kagome said together and began the tour.
