Kagome and Inuyasha reunite - well, sorta. Jaken daydreams of greatness - and gets a bunch of crap - literally!!
Night: Inuyasha's Camp:
After the initial fighting, Kouga, left like the 'wimpy wolf' Inuyasha called him - not because he was wimpy, but because he was sure that 'his woman' was hiding nearby and waiting just for him in the woods. Kouga believed this due to the fact that Shippo, tried of wasting time, had appeared as Kagome in the distant forest. That would occupy him for a while.
They were around the blazing fire, each in their own thoughts. Some of them, that is.
'I didn't NEED your help, baka!" Inuyasha snarled at Shippo.
"OW!! Inuyasha hit me!! You dog-butt face!" Shippo kicked Inuyasha in the shin.
"OWWWW!! Dammit, you little - !"
Sango turned to Miroku and said, "You really want a kid? I know! You can adopt Inuyasha!" Sango said cheerfully.
"I HEARD that, Sango!" Inuyasha yelled back.
"Ah, I think it'd be more - er - honorable - to use the gifts the gods give to us, Lady Sango, - naturally..."
Sango felt the hand upon her backside.
WHAP!!!
"Ow.." Miroku rubbed the new lump on his head.
Later...Kagome:Journey to the Bone Eater's Well:
It either pure luck or the favor of the gods that protected Kagome for the most part. The Shikon within her breastbone attracted the demons in the area, but they could also smell the scent of Lord Sesshoumaru. None wanted to be the 'mercy'of the Western Lord.
However, it would only be a matter of time before the demons would become bold. Aquiring the Shikon would make them so.
"Baka,baka,baka Kagome!!Stupid! You should have stayed overnight, but nooooooooo, WE had to leave in the middle of the night! Now all I need is for it to rain!"
Suddenly,as if summoned, a cloudburst came, drenching Kagome!!
"Great, just GREAT!" Kagome muttered. "I didn't need this, now I'm COLD!!" Kagome shivered.
"I see a campfire way off..." Kagome said to herself."I hope they're friendly. I don't have ANYTHING to set up camp with! Kagome, you're such a - AAAAAH-CHOOOOOO!! - baka!!"
Sesshounaru's Castle:
"Tell me, Jaken..." Sesshoumaru addressed his servant. "You saw Lady Kagome leave in the middle of the night and let her leave? Is this a correct assumption?"
Sesshoumaru, Jaken noted, never needed to yell at anyone when he wanted something done or when he wanted an answer to something. All he needed to do was look at you, his gold eyes piercing into like a hot iron, his voice and countenance very calm and cool.
Jaken KNEW he was in trouble!!
"Oh Master Lord Sesshoumaru!!" Jaken got on his kmees, blubbering. Your servant, Jaken did not know Lord Sesshoumaru had wanted the human girl to stay!! Oh, if you would have the smallest bit of mercy, my Lord Sesshoumaru!!"
To Jaken's relief and surprise, Sesshoumaru tutned away and said curtly, "Jaken, bring Rin to me."
"Sesshouchan?" Both Jaken and Sesshoumaru heard the small voice.
"Rin." Sesshoumaru spoke.
"Kagome-nichan is gone!" A tear fell down her cheek.
"Nahaa!! Lord Sesshoumaru, The child has been evesdropping on her betters. Rin, you're going to be punished!"
"AWK!!" Jaken cried out as Sesshoumaru lifted him up by the collar and said softly, "If I were you, Jaken - which I'm glad I'm not, I would not talk of - "punishment." Sesshoumaru threw Jaken to the hard floor and said, "Hitch up Ah and Uh, be quick about it.
"Hai, My Lord Sesshoumaru!" Jaken bowed to Sesshounaru and scurried away, thankful he was still alive and not missing any vital body parts.
After Jaken left, Rin said, "Sesshou, are we going to get Kagome - nichan?"
"Hai. Get dressed. You are coming with me."
"Arigatou, Sesshou-chan!..." The child ran to her room to change. They were going to find nichan and bring her back!!
Inuyasha's Camp:
Everyone was asleep, except for Inuyasha, who was sitting in a tree, just as he normally did. He was thinking - thinking of Kagome with his half-brother, Sesshoumaru. His feelings were mixed in with jealousy, anger and fear. He didn't know why he should care, but he did.
Suddenly, Inuyasha's ears perked up. He had heard something, a voice!!
"KAGOME!!" Inuyasha leaped out of the tree and rushed to where Kagome was approaching the camp.
"Hhhhhh?" Sango awoke and kicked Mirouki awake. "Mirouku! Wake up! I think Kagome's come back...and GET YOUR HAND OFF MY BUTT, YOU HENTAI!!"
Meanwhile, Inuyasha was so relived to see Kagome that he tackled her, landing on her in a very compromising position!!
"AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! INUYASHA!!!" Kagome yelled. She then realized just WHERE Inuyasha was and where he had accidentlly placed his hands upon landing.
"YOU PERVERT!! GET OFF ME, INUYASHA!!!" Kagome screamed.
"Hey! I'm glad to see you!Boy, are you un - grate - ful...uh.." Inuyasha got off of Kagome before she killed him with her glare. As soon as he stood up -
"OSWARI!"(sit!)
"AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!" Inuyasha yelled as he crashed headfirst into the muddy ground!!
Funny, he had -almost- missed her doing that!
Sesshounaru's Castle:
Jaken bowed to his master, Lord Sesshourmaru and said, "Ah and Uh are hitched up and ready, my lord! I assume I will be going with your Lordship?"
"Iye. You will look after my lands while we are gone, since it shall not be long. I also have an important task for you, Jaken.
Jaken visibly puffed out his chest. Well now, Master Sesshoumaru has seen my worth and I was right to allow that girl go! Wonder what important mission he will give me now? Getting rid of Inuyasha? Perhaps - perhaps even Naraku!! Yes! Surely he will send his most faithful and brave servant out to defeat Naruku!! I will be known as 'Jaken, The great Warrior of Lord Sesshoumaru Who Defeated Naraku!!
Then Jaken's daydream came to an abrupt end when Sesshoumaru said,
"I want you to clean out Ah and Uh's stall - indefinitely."
"AWK!!" Jaken nearly choked! Mucking out Ah and Uh's stall was a task that was for the lowest of servants, and Sesshoumaru would know if he passed it on to another! Jaken dared not protest.
Sesshoumaru turned away as Rin tried to keep a straight face.
