CHAPTER 10 ;; More Match-Making. (I don't Own Inuyasha or anything else I write about.)
"Failing sucks and I am sick of failing. BUT we will not fail this time. So we will move on to plan # 28. Of all the plans that we have tried to use to help out Sango and Miroku this is the one plan which I am positive that will work." Angel paused to look at Shippo and Pagan.
'Poor Shippo, he was hopping that by this time Kagome and Inuyasha would be together and his parents. Pagan looks very happy. She should this is her plan.' They were sitting in a small room at the inn they were staying in. Miroku had of course felt an evil presence at the most lavish Inn in the entire village. The group or pack, as Inuyasha would sometimes call them, had been traveling for three weeks looking for shards. They had found nothing. No shards, no Kagura, no Naraku, nothing. Everyone was tried and bored and pissed. Angel decided that this was the perfect time for a plan.
"I have read several behavior books and papers on this matter. Using the knowledge from them and my sister's weird theory that Miroku is a sexually frustrated virgin, we have come up with plan #28. I am confident that this plan will work because we have our own little henti to help put it into action.
PLAN # 28; HENTI vs. HENTI
1. Give him a taste of his own medicine.
2. Keep following this plan until it works.
3. Don't give up."
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII PEEK -- A -- BOO IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
The night was tranquil and lit by shining stars. The group is sitting around the blazing campfire talking when…
"Where is Miroku?" Pagan asked. She was sitting in between Angel and Shippo.
"Probable hitting on some girl.' Sango grumbled. 'He did it again. Asked some women to have his kid right in front of me. Then he grabs my ass. I can't believe him.' Sango continued eating. Those sitting next to her scooted to a safer distance.
Shippo looked around and smiled to himself. 'She left already.' Shippo giggled to himself and resisted the impulse to dance in joy.
"What's so funny, Shippo?" Kagome asked. Shippo had been in a good mood all day long. This usually meant that he was going to tease Inuyasha. 'Lately, he's stopped teasing Inuyasha. I wonder why?' Shippo shook his head and handed Kirara a piece of his fish. The fire cat ate it and hoped in the pup's lap to purr.
"Oi, kit. Are you laughing cause you looked into Angel's mirror? A face like that make anyone laugh." Inuyasha laughed out loud.
"Inuyasha!!" The young half-demon flattened his ears and turned big puppy eyes at her. She knew that he was just teasing little boy but Shippo was very young and tended to cry easily. 'I know he loves Shippo like a little brother. Why last night I saw him…'
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII begin flash back IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Kagome awoke to the sound of Shippo whimpering in his sleep. 'Poor baby.' She turned in her sleeping bag to glance over at the sleeping babe.
"SSSHHH, Shippo." Inuyasha reach over and rubbed the kit's back. The little boy quieted down. Kagome smiled to her self and closed her eyes. When no one was looking Inuyasha would show his soft side.
A few minutes later she heard Shippo cry out again. Kagome opened her brown eyes to see Inuyasha pick up Shippo and rock him. "Sleep pup." Inuyasha whispered into the fox cub's hair. Shippo rested his head on Inuyasha shoulder and sighed.
"Otou(father)" Shippo whispered happily, causing Inuyasha's eyes to fly open.
The hanyou tightened his hold on the sleeping fox cub. Closing his eyes the outcast teenager nuzzled Shippo's head and sniffed his hair. "Pup."
IIIIIIIIIIIIII end flash back IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"Shippo has been a good boy all day long. You should follow his example." Shippo stuck his tongue out at Inuyasha and went back to eating. Inuyasha waited for Kagome to look away before he stuck out his tongue at Shippo.
"HENTI!!!!" echoes threw the woods, followed by a loud slap. They all rush to the creek only to find Miroku, naked in the creek, hiding behind some rocks. Pagan is sprawled on the ground with a large, red hand print on her face.
"Nani?(what)" Kagome gasps as the group looks on in stoned silence. No one moved and looked away. Disbelief and denial was written on everyone's face.
"What have I told you about spying on naked people?" Angel yells at her sister. Pagan lay on her side with a happy smile on her red face. Her long lion tail wagged happily on the grassy ground.
"Not to spy on naked. You guys should have seen it. He is really hot. Hey Miroku step out from behind those rocks and give everyone a look." Pagan rolled onto her tummy and threw kisses at Miroku. A cursing Angel grabs her sister by the tail and drags her back to camp.
"I thought that…but?…" Sango stutters unable to believe that Miroku was the victim. It made no sense. The henti always spied on women and not the other way around. "Miroku wasn't… Why…?"
"Feh. Leach doesn't like girls spying on him." Inuyasha was laughing so hard that tears were running down his face. Finaly he wipe them away and walked back to camp.
"Well it serves him right. All the times he's spied on us. Now he knows what it's like." Kagome smiled at the sight of Miroku hiding from a girl. She turned to Sango and smiled. The older girl still was unable to belive what had happened.
"But???…Miroku…?"
"Come on." Kagome grabbed her hand and lead Sango back to the camp. The oddness of what had just happened too much for anyone to take.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII Idea from No One ( ) . IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIThey had returned home to the village yesterday. The Love Crew had come up with a scheme on the way back to the village. Plan # 30 sounded very simple. Make Kagome and Inuyasha be alone for awhile at a hot spring. It sounded simple but how were they to get them alone and naked in a spring. Angel decided that Inuyasha had to be at the spring first and then Kagome would come along.
It had to be done this way do to the fact that Inuyasha was a honyu. That fact that Dogboy's hearing, sight and smell alerted him to what was going around was a huge pain in the ASS. If he first then he would know that Kagome was there and warn her that he was already at the spring. Angel solved that problem by adding something to his soda. The plan was a little underhanded but that was nothing new to the sisters.
Shippo didn't understand why the Drawin sisters thought that it would work. How could getting Inuyasha and Kagome alone in a spring make them want to get married?
"Shippo, all you have to do is make sure Sango doesn't go the spring. Pagan keep Miroku away from the spring." Angel droped her cigerate and ground it under the heal of her black boot. The winged honkyu knew that if you left tow naked teenagers alone and in water then something had to happen. "I'll go tell Kagome to meet us at the spring."
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIII THE SPRING IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Inuyasha rested his head against the side of the hot spring. This side of the spring was part of a hill and made a perfect slant into the water. Normally, the Inu-honyu avoided them but this one wasn't very hot. He looked at the empty soda can in his hand and tossed it onto shore. He felt himself become sleepy and gave in to it.
Something had woken him up. Inuyasha opened his heavy eyelids and looked around. He could smell and water and hear the birds and the sound of footsteps. He yawned and closed his eyes. Everything felt so wonderful. Inuyasha heard a splash and opened his golden eyes.
"This feels wonderful." Inuyasha sat up and blinked. He knew that voice. Kagome was on the other side of spring with him. Only three large boulders separated them. 'Fuck, if she find me I'm dead. Kagome is naked in the spring with me. I'm naked too.' Inuyasha turned bright red and swallowed. Both of them had accidentally seen each other naked before but never had both of them been naked at the same time. Inuyasha knew he should leave the spring but then Kagome would see him and he didn't want Kagome to see him naked now. The modern girl would know exactly how he felt about her. Right before she sat him. He heard her moving in the water. 'I'll pretend to be asleep. She'll see me and go away.' Inuyasha rested his head against the side of the hot spring and closed his eyes.
"Where are they?" The young miko looked around and frowned. Angel had told her that were all going to the spring to relax. The older girl had said that Pagan was already there waiting for them. There were several boulders dividing the large spring into two smaller springs. 'I wonder if Pagan is on the other side?' Kagome wadded through the hot spring to see if they were there.
"Aaahhhh." She saw Inuyasha, lying in the spring and naked from the waist up. His back was resting against the smooth side of spring bank and his eyes were closed. She didn't believe it for one moment. 'He's just as bad as Miroku. I can't believe it.' Her anger made her forget that she was naked under the thin white towel she wore. Kagome took a step closer and saw his breathing pick up. "I know your awake, Inuyasha."
He opened his eyes. Kagome had a thin white towel wrapped around her. The aroused honyu could see every curve of her figure. He stood and Kagome's eyes widened. When he had been in the water it came up to the middle of his chest but standing it was below his belly button. She blushed as her mind raced with naughty images.
Inuyasha noticed the lovely girl's blush and the change in her sent and smiled. He'd never told her or any of them that he could smell their feelings of fear, angry and…lust. It gave him an edge and he had been on his own for to long to tell anyone all of his secrets or abilities. Inuyasha was part demon, in a reckless mood and he felt free. All the aroused honyu could think of was hearing Kagome tell the girls about when he had kissed her. He wanted to…NO he needed to kiss her and the need had grown every time he looked at her lips but they hadn't had anytime alone. Until now.
Kagome watched a smirk spread across Inuyasha face. She had no idea what he was thinking but it couldn't be good. Kagome's eyes widened as he walked toward her. 'Dear Kami, I'm alone in a hot spring with Inuyasha and I'm only wearing a towel Does he want to...? ' There was only a foot of water between them when Kagome made her choice. She couldn't go threw with it. Her mother trusted her and anyway. Her eyes took in his muscular chest and arms. She had never been with a boy before, hell she'd only been kissed once. Kagome wasn't ready to sleep with Inuyasha. 'I'm only 15.'
"Inuyasha Osw…."
"If you sit me then I'll be under the water and if I open my eyes I'll see you." Inuyasha smirked. Kagome was pissed at him and she couldn't sit him. He grabbed her and pulled her to his chest. Kagome kept a tight grip on her towel. Inuyasha lowered his head and pressed his lips to hers. The kiss was soft and short.
"Inuyasha." Kagome's voice was thick with desire. She pressed her hands to his chest and felt Inuyasha tremble at her touch. Inuyasha's hand cupped the back of her head. Once again they kiss but this time he was bolder. Her mouth opened and his tongue slid in to taste her. Kagome moaned as Inuyasha trailed soft kisses to her ear. She felt him grab her hips and press them against his. Suddenly he pulled away and cursed. Kagome opened her eyes and saw Kikyou
"Kikyou." The sight of her angry eyes and sniff clay body fill him dread. He didn't know what the miko would do. The dead miko had tried to hurt her own reincarnation and then Kikyou taken Kagome's jewel shards, when the shards had been protecting Kagome from some evil vines. Kikyou's hands clenched in anger and Inuyasha took a step toward the dead miko. Kagome was so upset that she didn't see that he was stepping in front of Kagome and NOT away from her. Kagome felt cold and dirty. 'I was going to…Baka, I'm such a baka.'
Several yards away two spies cursed. "Who the fuck is that bitch and how dare she ruin our plains. She is so dead. I'm going to kill that bitch. She's destroying our perfect plain. AAAAHHHHH"
"I see you've forgotten me, Inuyasha." Kiyoyo was ferrous and Inuyasha could see it. He wasn't going to let Kikyou hurt Kagome. A loud crashing and the sound of cursing grew louder. Angel and Pagan burst threw the trees.
"Hey guys." Pagan's eyes focused on Inuyasha's bare chest. Angel was glaring at the women who had ruined Plain # 30. She didn't care that Kagome and Inuyasha were still in the spring or that she had blown her cover. All that matter was kicking the ass of the woman who had ruined plain # 30.
"What's going on here? What's this?" She gestured between Inuyasha and Kikyou. Something was between these two. 'Why does Inuyasha look guilty, Kagome look heart broken and this foul-smelling bitch pissed? Who the hell is she and would she put on some perfume?' In the silence that followed, Angel pulled out a cigarette and lit it. Pagan spread out her wings as a shield for Kagome to dress behind. "Well? Is anyone going to introduce us? Or say something?"
"It's none of your business." A naked Inuyasha stormed out of the pond, causing four sets of eyes to widen.
"She's Kikyou." Kagome whispered.
"That dead miko you told us about." Kagome nodded and turned to leave. "The evil, dead girl that steals souls form the living." Pagan continued to question. She grabbed Angel's arm and shook her. "That vile beast is here to steal Kagome's soul. Oh my goodness, that thing is the undead. It's going to eat our brains."
Kikyou's anger grew. First she had caught Inuyasha naked in a spring with Kagome. Then Inuyasha doesn't rush to her and beg for forgiveness. No, he steps in front of Kagome to protect her. Then these two filthy creatures speak about her as if she wasn't alive and her former lover does nothing to shut them up. 'Does he no longer care for me?' Kikyou heard the shorter honyu call her evil ghoul and the dead miko's temper snapped. She reached for one of her arrows.
"Don't!" A fully dressed Inuyasha grabbed her wrist. "Kagome take Angel and Pagan out of here."
Kagome nodded and took each girl's hand. "But Kagome…"
"DON'T!!" Everyone was shocked. So far Kagome hadn't yelled at the sisters. Angel and Pagan knew that there was more to what was going and decided to talk about it while everyone was sleeping. Inuyasha watched a depressed Kagome lead the sisters back to the village. He ignored his feelings and turned to face Kikyou.
"You were going to kill them." Inuyasha didn't want to believe it. Kikyou had always been peaceful and understanding and believed that everyone deserved a second chance. Kikyou had made Inuyasha promise that he wouldn't kill or harm a human because as Kikyou had said 'No one deserves to die'. And yet…she had been about to kill Angel and Pagan. She had nursed sick and injured criminals but she tried to kill two honyus…like him.
Kikyou waited for his begging to begin. She had caught him kissing Kagome and then he had stood by while two ill-breed honyu girls insulted her. The stupid honyu had no idea that the sister's insults had pushed Kikyou to kill. He was so used to the sister's complaining or venting, as Angel called it, that he hadn't bothered to stop them or say anything about it. Inuyasaha had no idea what Kikyou was thinking, all he could think about was that the woman who had wanted him to become human as that they could be together, had been going to kill a honyu. Kikyou was furrous with Inuyasha and wanted to hurt him. "Yes, such vile creatures deserve to die."
It felt like a blade had just gone through his heart. 'Now I'm a vile creature. When you needed someone to free you from your duties as a guardian of the jewel, I was fine but now…Now I just a vile creature.' Inuyasha released Kikyou's wrist. "Leave, Kikyou. Don't try to hurt the others or…just LEAVE ME." He turned and walked away from the woman he had wanted to spend his life with. He no longer felt the same way about her. The unwanted honyu had no idea what he felt anymore. Inuyasha needed to be alone so that he could sort out his thoughts and feeling. Near the village he hoped up into a tree, leaned his head back and closed his eyes.
Inuyasha felt torn and his head and tummy hurt. He did what he always did when he was in pain. He looked for Kagome.
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
Kagome walked into Keada's hut and started to pack her things. She couldn't stay here right now. Not after what had happened at the spring. Not while Inuyasha was alone with Kikyou, the woman he loved. Kagome smothered a sob and wiped away her tears.
"What ales you, child?" Keada carried in a basket of herbs. The sisters had come running to find her. They had spoke of Kikyou and said something was wrong with Kagome. Then Pagan had fallen over the fence into the garden. As much as she wanted to see her sister, Kagome needed her.
"Nothing…I…I just have to go home." She lifted her bag and hurried out of the hut. Shippo ran after her but Sango saw her tears and grabbed the fox cub.
"Let go, Sango. Kagome is upset." Shippo couldn't bare to see his future mother cry. She was his mom and she needed him.
"She needs to be alone right now. Trust me little brother." Shippo let Kagome go. He would find out what was wrong and try to help Kagome. Inuyasha could go threw the well and so could the sisters. If Kagome didn't come back soon then he would send one of them to bring her home.
Kagome hurried to the well and jumped inside. She climbed out, dropped to her knees and cried herself to sleep. It was night when she woke up. She was still in the well but she was lying under a blanket and someone was with her.
"Are you awake?" Pagan crept forward. Her wings were folded behind her back and she looked worried. "Ah…I have candy. If ya hungry. You've been asleep all night long and the whole day. I've never seen anyone who wasn't ill, sleep like that." Kagome sat up and Pagan handed her some food.
"Everyone was really worried after you left the village. Sango came looking for us and Inuyasha. Shippo started to cry. He wanted Inuyasha to beg for forgiveness and bring you back. I don't know how everyone knew that Inuyasha had made you cry. Anyways, We couldn't find him so Miroku told me to come here to check on you and then he sent Angel to look for Inuyasha."
Kagome finished eating and sat listening to Pagan chatter. 'He's still with Kikyou. How could I have been so stupid? Baka, baka, BAKA.'
"You're not listening to me. Are ya?" Pagan sighed. "I'm sorry."
"It's not your fault."
"Yes and No. That Inuyasha is a big slut. No that not my fault. Leaving you alone with him. Yes, that's my fault." Pagan lied down and close her eyes.
"Inuyasha is NOT a slut." Kagome was pissed. How could Pagan think that about him? Inuyasha was sweet and he hid a loving heart. "It's just…Well…They were suppose to be together but Naraku tore them apart. I don't…He doesn't want me."
"What? No you have it all wrong. He wants to jump your bones. Trust me, I know cause I've watched him watch you. His eyes follow you around and Inuyasha hates it when you go home without him. Angel thinks that he is suffering from some deep emotional trauma from his childhood. She knows a lot about that stuff. Angel took one, Ah, four of those online courses on the mind." Pagan looked over at Kagome. Kagome sat with her arms around her knees and the blanket was wrapped around her shoulders. She had been deeply hurt by the dead miko showing up. Pagan looked at the well and wished that someone would come threw the well and fix everything. No one came.
"Sometimes talking about a problem helps. I vent sometimes." Kagome smiled at the understatement. 'Maybe she should tell Pagan about it. Sango knows about Inuyasha but not about my life back home. My friends know about Inuyasha, Kikyou and Kouga but not about anything else. Pagan and Angel know about everything.'
"When I first saw Inuyasha he was pinned to a tree and I couldn't help but touch his ears. He wouldn't call me by my first name. I was so mad at him and I still get mad when he calls me a wench." Kagome told Pagan everything that had happened and how she felt about it. "I feel like Kikyou is the other woman but…she met Inuyasha before me. I'm the other woman. Sometimes I wish that I could let go and forget but I can't. I love Inuyasha and he loves Kikyou."
Pagan had listen to Angel analyze Inuyasha and everyone in their pack. Also She had paid attention to some of what her sister had said about issues and personal baggage. Maybe she could help. "Dose he really love her or dose he feel guilty because she died and he didn't? He couldn't save her, just like he couldn't save his mother. Who also died. People are effected a lot by stuff that happens to them in their childhood. I mean…well everyone has either died or left him and he had no one for years. That messes a person up…a lot. So you need to talk about your problems and…and sit down and talk about them…with Inuyasha. Yea, that's what you should do" Pagan prayed that Kagome didn't ask or say anything else because she had just said everything she could think of. 'Where the hell are you Angel?'
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"You are an BAKA. No you're the king of all bakas." Normally Angel thought clearly and could talk threw and solve most problems. She was too pissed off to think right now. First Miroku orders her around like a little kid and then she has to look for this bird-brained baka. She had been flying for seven hours before she had spotted him sitting in a tree and the first thing he had said to her was 'Go away'. Inuyasha didn't say anything else. Angel took a deep breath and sat down on the tree branch. "From the way you were acting and what the others have said, I take it that you and Kikyou were a couple. What went wrong and why dose she smell like a graveyard?"
"Feh," Inuyasha closed his eyes and ignored her.
Angel held back the desire to smack him. She decided to use words to get her revenge. "Kagome was hurt by what happened. YOU made her cry. One minute your making out and the next you send her off so you can be with your old girlfriend."
"That's not why I told her to leave." The honyu stood up and yelled down at the girl. Angel held onto the swaying branch and waited for him to explain. Inuyasha was shocked that Kagome could think something like that. "Kikyou…" He sat down and refused to talk. It was none of her business.
"I don't like seeing my say-sister upset but I can't do anything unless I know what is wrong. Talking about a problem helps ease ones inner pain. I might see something that you can't." Total silence. "Maybe I should go ask Kikyou?" Angel started to get up.
"No!" Inuyasha grabbed her arm. Meddling baka never minded her own business. "Shit! Kikyou was going to kill you. That's why I told Kagome to get you two out of there."
"Nana?" Inuyasha let go of her arm. "We didn't do anything. We came to the spring and saw that lady looking pissed and you and Kagome naked together."
"Kagome was wearing a towel." Inuyasha's face was bright red. "It's none of your business. Go bother Shippo."
"None of my business? Kagome left the village in tears and you tell me that is none of my business. She lov…" He jumped down and walked away.
"Denial is not the answer. You can't keep doing this to her." Angel landed in front of him. "You need to talk to Kagome."
"Feh." Inuyasha crossed his arms and looked away. She knew that look. It was the one he used when he was being stubborn and didn't want to talk to anyone. 'Like that childish thing is going to work on me. If one path leads you to a dead end, then kick down a wall.' Being a honyou helped angel understand Inuyasha and guess what he was thinking.
"At least tell me why that dead girl wanted to kill me. I have a right to know." No answer. "Is it because I'm a honyou?" The Inu-honyou froze. "That's it. But you're a honyou and she was going to marry you."
"She wouldn't be with me unless I was human." Pissed he stormed off. Angel decided that she had done enough and flew home. She would talk to Pagan. This Kikyou was going to make everything a lot harder. Pagan might know of some myth of legend about getting rid of the undead.
