Another day, another chapter of eveyone's favorite Fic.
The plot will start to develop soon so don't loose faith.
"Kagome?" Shippo asked as he poked Kagome on the shoulder.
"Hm?" Kagome asked the young fox.
"Did you bring the sweets?" Shippo asked with hopeful eyes. Kagome always brought shippo candy from her world. He loved it.
"Yes, I did shippo. I actually brought thing for everyone but we'll wait till we stop. If I take off the bag now I'll never be able to pick it up again."
Shippo hung his head and sighed as a signal that he had given in.
The day went on without much, but conversation. The Autobots were most curious of the world they never knew had existed. So many thing existed know that didn't in the present and Kagome, Miroku, and Sango were happy to indulge them. Inuyasha interjected a comment now and than and once got him a one-way ticket to the earth.
When the sky turned orange they made camp on a hill near a grove of trees and make a roaring fire. Kagome put her bag down and shuffled through it to find the goodies she had brought her friends.
She handed Shippo a small bag full of candy and a few toys.
She handed Inuyasha a bag of potato chips.
She handed Sango a beautiful peacock burette.
She handed Miroku a fashion magazine. (Guess why)
The Autobots were in their vehicle modes at the bottom of the hill. Since they didn't need sleep they decided they'd keep watch during the night. Kagome was against them being alone and that they were part of the group, but Optimus insisted.
After everyone was content with their gifts, Kagome pulled out the cups of Instant ramen. Inuyasha's ears picked up as he saw her pull them out.
"What kind is that?" Inuyasha asked as he munched his chips.
"I was low on money so I bought a variety pack. There's five kinds: Original, Shrimp, Beef, chicken, and Oriental." Kagome said as she pointed out each one.
Miroku choose Oriental.
Sango choose Shrimp.
Shippo choose Beef.
Inuyasha grabbed Original.
Kagome took the remaining cup of Chicken ramen.
"Inuyasha would you go get some water?" Kagome asked as she passed over he red kettle.
"Sure." Inuyasha took it and was off.
When he reached the bottom of the hill where the Autobots were Ironhide called to him.
"Hey, where are you of to at night?"
Inuyasha looked over at the bot Annoyed.
"I'm getting water. What's it to you? I don't need you metal heads babysitting me." Inuyasha scoffed. "I can take care of myself."
And he was off.
"Bumblebee, follow him. Even if he can take care of himself going out at night, especially here, isn't safe." Optimus told the yellow VW.
"Right." The little autobot zoomed off after the half demon.
Inuyasha found a stream and dumped the kettle in it.
As the kettle filled Inuyasha heard a sound. His ears perked up.
As he gazed over to the other side of the stream he saw a lone figure, but a figure Inuyasha knew well.
"Kikyou." Inuyasha said surprised. She stood against a tree looking fondly at Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha. It has been a while." She said calmly as she walked into the stream. Inuyasha, almost in a daze, walked into the stream as well and the two met in the middle.
Kagome's red kettle lay on the grass forgotten.
"Inuyasha. Do you still plan on fighting Naraku?" Kikyou asked.
Inuyasha grabbed her hands and held them in his.
"Of course!" Inuyasha yelled. "That bastard will die for what he did. I will avenge you."
Kikyou laughed.
"Inuyahsa. You are a fool. You take Naraku so lightly. He has been in control since the beginning. Even if it has wavered his control has held. He holds almost the full jewel."
Inuyasha's eyes narrowed.
"Including the half you stole from Kagome. After you tried to..." Inuyasha said as he let go of Kikyou's hands and took a step back.
"Kill her? That is what you were going to say was it not? You're so naïve Inuyasha. Naraku will fall. But I will be the one to do it." Kikyou said.
"You have changed Kikyou. You aren't the woman I loved all those years ago. Your as cold as the clay your body is made of." Inuyasha said as he walked away.
"So Inuyasha, you choose my reincarnation over me?" Kikyou said almost mockingly.
Inuyasha didn't say anything, but instead he picked up Kagome's red kettle and filled it up with water.
"No."
"Inuyasha your-" Kikyou started.
"No. I do not choose your reincarnation, Kikyou." Inuyasha protested with a look of seriousness and calm. "I choose Kagome."
"You are in love with her than, Inuyasha?" Kikyou asked with dazed eyes.
Inuyasha was about to leave, but turned his head.
"Yes. I trust Kagome. Much like the way I trusted you 50 years ago. I see your kindness in her. The kindness and trust you no longer have and will never have again." Inuyasha held the kettle to his chest and left but heard Kikyou last words before he departed.
"It doesn't matter whom your love belongs Inuyasha, because when Naraku is defeated and I depart for hell I will drag you with me." With that Kikyou's soul yokai wrapped their snake like bodies around her and they flew off into the night.
Inuyasha continued down the path till he reached a large bush.
"Come out of there. I know you're there." Inuyasha said plainly.
Bumblebee, in car mode, drove out of the confines of the bush.
"How much did you see?" Inuyasha asked.
"All of it." Bumblebee replied.
Inuyasha was silent.
Bumblebee was surprised Inuyasha hadn't started chewing him out for spying on him and following him. Inuyasha's face had a look of guilt and sadness. Bumblebee couldn't blame him. He remembered what Kagome had said to them earlier about how Inuyasha was in love with Kikyou and they had thought their love had betrayed them. Bumblebee felt a new respect for the hanyou. He had said he loved Kagome, not Kikyou.
'I guess Kagome was right when she said Inuyasha is actually really nice, but doesn't show it.' Bumblebee thought.
"Don't tell Kagome." Inuyasha said calmly, his hair shadowing his face.
Bumblebee didn't know which part he meant, the part about Kikyou or him confessing his love for Kagome? Either way.
"I won't tell her." Bumblebee told the boy.
He saw Inuyasha smile a bit.
"Thanks. We should be heading back. They'll be wondering where we were." Bumblebee and Inuyasha started to walk back to camp, Inuyasha still clutching Kagome's red kettle to his chest.
When Inuyasha and Bumblebee reach the hill were the Autobots parked Inuyasha walked right up to Optimus.
"Next time you feel the urge to spy on me. Ignore it." Inuyasha said half annoyed half calm. With that said Inuyasha ran up the hill to the camp.
"He caught you?" Ironhide asked.
Bumblebee took his spot next to Prowl.
"Yeah." Bumblebee sighed.
"What did he do?" Prowl asked.
"He made he promise I wouldn't tell Kagome what I saw." Bumblebee said knowing he was giving away the fact something had happened at the stream.
"All right! Spill it kid, what happened?" Ironhide urged the young Autobot.
Bumblebee hoped it was ok if he spilled the beans to his comrades.
Bumblebee recapped the events that had occurred only a few moments ago.
He told them how Kikyou had appeared and the two met in the stream.
"Hm. I guess that Shippo kid was right. That Inuyasha is still hung over Kikyou." Ironhide scoffed. "I knew that kid was nothing but a delinquent."
"Wait Ironhide! Inuyasha isn't hung over Kikyou." Bumblebee told the old warrior.
"What?" Prowl interjected his astonished comment.
"Kikyou asked Inuyasha if he chose her reincarnation over her." Bumblebee told them.
"What did he say?" Optimus asked.
"He said no." Bumblebee stated.
"He's still-"
"No Ironhide. He said no. He chose Kagome." Bumblebee told them.
He described the remainder of the events.
"It does appear we have misjudged Inuyasha." Optimus confessed.
"Yes, I do feel a bit sorry for him." Prowl said.
"Should I apologize? I was the one calling him a delinquent and stuff." Ironhide asked.
"No. He'll know I told than." Bumblebee told him.
"Fine."
