Chapter 3 "Why are all these people here?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Recap:
"Oyasumi Inuyasha. Oyasumi Kouga-kun. Oyasumi Kirara. Oyasumi Sango-chan. Oyasumi Shippo. Oyasumi Miroku-sama. Oyasumi Kagu-."
"Kagome! Shut-up!" Inuyasha said, as he dropped down from the tree he was perched in and covered Kagome's mouth, "Kuso! How did I not smell them coming?"
Inuyasha had smelt the last three people he wanted to be around...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A voice sounded from the left in the dark, "Good to see you Kagura, I see you found my half-brother all right."
"Sesshomaru! What the hell are you doing here?" Inuyasha asked angrily, pulling out Tetsuseiga. Kirara transformed and her hackles rose as she growled.
"You!" Kouga turned pointing accusingly to Kagura, "You led him here!"
"That I did, wolf, but he is here on his own accord, not necessarily the same cause as I."
"I am here, brother, to ask you a question," Sesshomaru said in his blank manner, "alone if you will," he gestured to Jaken, Rin, Miroku, Sango and the rest of the people standing around them.
"Come on Rin, come tell me about your adventures, "Kagome said as she led Rin away, babbling
"But Master Sesshomaru? Why cannot I attend the meeting with your half- brother?"
"Alone Jaken, are you too dense to translate that?" Miroku asked.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"What do you want Sesshomaru?" Inuyasha asked, not sheathing Tetsuseiga.
"I have come, brother, to ask if you know where the baboon man Naraku dwells," Sesshomaru impassively asked, adjusting his puff on his shoulder.
Inuyasha was surprised by this request, but none the less wary, "Why do you want to know?"
"Ah, I thought you would have figured that out brother, maybe you are not as intelligent as I thought. It is because, if you and your pathetic gathering of humans and demons fail, Naraku will possess the entire Shikon jewel and be able to overtake my lands, our fore-father's lands."
"But that's only part of it isn't it?" Inuyasha asked, gesturing to where the rest of the gumi was gathered, "you fear for your little tag-along child's safety do you not? I still do not understand how a demon with no heart can have a child along with him, a human at that."
"You, brother, also have humans along, do you not fear for their safety?"
"But she is a child! And, besides, I am half-human," Inuyasha said roughly.
"But is not the kitsune also young?" Sesshomaru retorted.
"True, maybe your little girl, names Rin isn't it? Maybe they should stay with the miko, Kaede."
"No!" Sesshomaru said, a little defensively, "Rin goes where I go."
"So you do care for her do you not?" Inuyasha knew he was pushing his luck, sitting here, talking with Sesshomaru of all people, and testing his patients.
"One more word half-demon and your dead," for a moment, Sesshomaru lost his impassive composure and had looked angered. His hand started to glow with poison. Even Inuyasha could recognize that he had touched a nerve.
"Even If I tell you where Naraku is," Inuyasha said slowly, changing the subject, "you will not be able to defeat him alone, he has half the Shikon no Tama for kami*-sake!"
"What are you suggesting, brother?"
"I don't know." Inuyasha said.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"What do you think that they could be talking about?" Sango asked Kagome, who was watching Miroku attentively as he talked with Rin, if her half- brother tried anything on a little girl, she'd kill him.
"What was that Sango?" Kagome said, turning her attention to her friend.
"I said, what do you think- "
At that moment Sesshomaru and Inuyasha entered the clearing. Inuyasha looked slightly confused while Sesshomaru looked blank as ever.
"Miko," Sesshomaru said, turning to face Kagome, "will you tell me where Naraku's castle is? My useless half-brother will tell nothing."
"Why?"
"I have already been over this with my brother. Naraku threatens my lands."
"You will never be able to defeat him alone!" Kagome said
"I have also been over that with Inuyasha."
"What did he suggest?" Kouga asked, coming over to stand beside Kagome.
"He was useless to provide and answer."
"Why don't you join us?" Kagome asked, slowly with each word clear and precise.
"What?!?" Inuyasha yelled, "What the hell are you thinking?"
"I'm thinking that we could use another ally!" Kagome said heatedly.
"Hmm......... an interesting suggestion miko, I shall consider it," Sesshomaru looked thoughtful, "it might be handy to have a larger group than just myself and Jaken to protect Rin."
"Sugoi*!" Kagome chirped, almost birdlike, "shall we camp now, we are almost dead asleep!"
"I did not say-"Sesshomaru started but Kagome cut in.
"Will you be sleeping in a tree like Inuyasha or will you require a sleeping-bag?"
"I require nothing........ a sleeping-what?"
"A Sleeping-bag!" Kagome showed Sesshomaru the sleeping bags laid out.
"I require nothing, but Rin might need one of those sleeping-bags."
"Does Rin get a sleeping-bag like Shippo-chan?" Rin asked.
"Yes Rin, you get a sleeping-bag like Shippo, but you will have to share one with him.........ka*?" Kagome turned then to Shippo, "You don't mind sharing do you?"
"Nope!" Shippo said enthusiastically.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It was about midnight when Kouga heard the hooves of an approaching horse. He nudged Kagome awake and told her what he had heard, and smelt, as well.
"Inuyasha? Inuyasha?" Kagome said softly to the figure in the tree.
"What is it?" Inuyasha answered dropping down beside her.
"There is a horse approaching," she whispered.
"I know, I smelt it about ten minutes ago, it's just a human."
The sound of hooves was now loud enough to wake the humans, "What is it the Rin hears?" Rin whispered.
"It's a horse Rin," Sango said, going to stand by the little girl.
They would soon find out who rode the horse, for at that moment it, and its rider entered the clearing where the seven demons and four humans were gathered.
"What are all these people doing here?" Kaede's voice asked.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Maki: Yeah for Kaede!
Yoshimi: *sarcastically* Yes, yippee.........We need reviews people!
Maki: Review.........Five of them! Hmmmmm.........Me wants a Shippo plushie! *eyes Yoshimi's Inu-chan plushie*
Shippo: *looks horrified* but.........but.........wouldn't you like a Miroku plushie better? I'm just a kid!
Miroku: Hey! Every man for himself!
