Wolf Hunt I
"Wait, why are you doing this again?" Kagome asked Jenny. They were all back in the Feudal Era Yes! Finally I can start to wrap this up! That took a while. And sitting together in Kaede's hut. And when I say all, I mean all. So Kaede's hut was rather crowded. I don't think that there was one square inch of open space available.
"Several reasons." Said Jenny. "We are leaving to go back to my house here in the Feudal Era because one; I'm more then a little sick of watching everyone fight over who's going to sleep where each night. Two; some of our fellows can't go jewel hunting because they have an aversion to gore." At this she turned and glared at Al, who looked very guilty while whistling and examining her fingernails like they were the most interesting things she had ever seen before. "And three; I want to see what the damage was. I left the Three Stooges all alone in my house for a very long time, and knowing them I'll be surprised if there aren't scorch marks covering the walls." She finished.
"Well, there are marks, but they aren't scorch marks." Said KK.
"Shut UP!" Blake shouted at him, snapping his hand over the younger boys mouth.
"What. Did. You. Do. To. My. House?" Jenny asked as a dark and foreboding shill settled over everyone in the hut. The Inu gang all threw themselves out of the hut, swiftly followed by the Guardians and Sesshomaru.
"Bye!" Screamed all the Guardians except Jenny, who was busy trying to pound KK's head in, as they ran out of the village and into the forest. Sesshomaru and Rin followed them, everyone laughing. Jaken was on Ah and Un and was screaming for…
"Wait! Lord Sesshomaru-sama! Wait! Wait for me!"
….
"Stupid little toad." Muttered Inuyasha bitterly. Every one else nodded in agreement.
"Are you sure that there haven't been any rumors about jewel shards, old hag?" Inuyasha asked Kaede in an angry voice, his eyebrows drawn lower and together in annoyance. It was nightfall and all of the hub-hub surrounding the…interesting exit of all the odd and loud strangers had finally died down.
"Yes, I am sure Inuyasha." Snapped Kaede as she stood up and pushed open the mat that swung in the doorway of the hut. "I am going to be sleeping in the hut of an expecting mother this night. I trust that ye shall not make any trouble this one night." She said before she disappeared, leaving them all contemplating as to what to do next.
"…We still have the matter with Koga to resolve…" Sango reminded them all, though one couldn't help but hear the definite note of hesitation to bring up the touchy subject ringing true in her voice. At her words an uncomfortable silence fell over the members of the hut…Except for Shippo, who was sleeping happily in Kagome's lap. However the silence was soon broken by a low growl rising threateningly from the chest of a certain inu-hanyou, who's clawed hand, which had been resting near Kagome's own smaller one, was now clutching the poor girl's hand possessively.
"Yeah. We'll deal with him first." Snapped Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha!" Said Kagome warningly and she turned to face him, a fierce glower adorning her normally pleasant face.
"What? Do you want to thank him for nearly slapping you? Do you want to bless him for trying to force you to become his? Nuh-uh! The stupid pathetic wolf dies, Kagome!" Inuyasha said heatedly.
"No Inuyasha! Can't we just let the matter drop? I'm fine, so you don't need to kill him!" Kagome said, squeezing his hand comfortably before dropping it. She widened her eyes and made her bottom lip quiver as if she was about to cry any second in her best puppy face. She saw Inuyasha waver for a moment, but only for a moment.
"I'm going to kill him." Said Inuyasha. Kagome snapped back to glare mode.
"Sit."
"AHHHRG!"
"Promise you won't kill Koga."
"No way, wench!"
"Sit…promise?"
"No!"
"Sit…promise now?"
"No!"
"Sit."
"AHH! I'M NOT GOING TO PROMISE!"
"Sit."
"Inuyasha, just promise already!" Shippo yelled at the hanyou who was now indenting himself into the floor. Shippo buried himself deeper into Kagome's lap, in search of more warmth.
"Oh, Shippo!" Kagome exclaimed. She looked down at her adoptive son with surprise and she began to gently pet his tail. "I'm sorry, did we wake you?" She asked him softly.
"Naw." He said, yawning sleepily, his two front fangs showing…like a cat's yawn. He sighed a little and burrowed deeper still, smacking his lips a tad. Watching him Kagome got the watery "Aww" expression that girls get when they see something that they find unbearably cute. The expression disappeared when she turned back to Inuyasha, who was still on the floor.
"Promise Inuyasha." She demanded.
"Never!"
"Sit."
"Fine! Fine! I promise!" Inuyasha yelled, finally giving up. Kagome smirked at him, then yawned loudly.
"I think it's time that we all got some sleep." Said Miroku hastily as he was anxious to avoid another fight.
"Quite." Said Sango dryly.
"Fine." Muttered both Inuyasha and Kagome.
Kagome picked up Shippo and she took them both to her sleeping bag. It had been an eventful day for her. Not only had she had to get them all out of her mother's house and back home, but there had been so much to do once she got back as well. Reacquainting herself with the Feudal Era, spending time with Inuyasha, Jenny's eventful departure, and saying hello to all of her friends in the village. All of this had left her more then a little exhausted, so Kagome was asleep almost immediately. Sango and Miroku, who were every bit as tired as she was, weren't far behind.
But Inuyasha wasn't as ready to sleep as his human companions. Oh no, this hanyou had a mission. He was a man…hanyou of his word, and he had promised not to kill Koga.
But…
He hadn't promised to hunt down Koga.
Oh, yes…he wouldn't kill Koga. He had promised he wouldn't and so he wouldn't.
But…
He hadn't promised not to maim Koga.
He would not kill Koga. Not only had he promised, but also he had promised Kagome. A fine wake up call that would be if he shattered her trust as soon as their relationship looked as if it might actually have a future! Oh, no. He had promised!
But…
He hadn't promised to leave Koga alone…to die alone.
Oh, yes. And that was just what Inuyasha was planning to do that night.
Long ago someone had taught Inuyasha that in some things there's a difference. That there was a difference between living and breathing. And that there was a difference between being killed, and dying.
Tonight Koga was going to die, but Inuyasha wasn't going to kill him.
These were the thoughts that were running through Inuyasha's head as he stood up only ten minutes after his human friends had gone to sleep. Shippo muttered a little bit and Inuyasha froze but the little kit just turned over in his sleep and nestled closer still to the woman who had become his mother. Inuyasha spared an affectionate and soft smile in their direction before turning back towards his goal, the door. He had one foot out when he heard a low whisper behind him.
"Are you going to break your promise to Lady Kagome so soon then, Inuyasha?" Miroku asked softly from behind the hanyou who stood in the door.
"No. I promised that I wouldn't kill Koga. That is all. But there is a difference between being killed, and dying. It's a thin line, but I'm going to walk it." Said Inuyasha. At the familiar words Miroku's head jerked.
"What?" He whispered, but there was only a fleeting glimpse of a starlit sky as the bamboo mat fell back into place and the steady breathing of his sleeping companions to answer him. Inuyasha had already left on his wolf hunt, leaving Miroku to contemplate over what was going on…and what exactly was going on in the web of lies and hidden memories that lay directly beneath the violent thuggish surface of their adventure.
Inuyasha, naturally, was completely oblivious to the goings on in his friend's head. His own mind was focused on one thing.
Make. Koga. Pay.
Not kill, oh no, not kill. But he was going to pay. Koga would never be killed; Koga was just going to die.
Yay! And so concludes a brand new chapter. I finally managed another cliffhanger! Yay! Heh, sorry 'bout that. Anyway, please review right now!
Until next time,
Pwalefriend.
A Penny For Your Thoughts: What does Inuyasha mean? What's the connection between him and Jenny? May I remind you that Sesshomaru and Jenny have a history together? What's going on with Naraku, I mean, of all his plans this one seems to be one that's actually working out in favor for the group! Is it even his plan at all? And, most importantly, who is Jenny? Who is Moga? Are they really the same person? Yes, that is a huge part of this story, Jenny's "other name" Jenny is, right now, hitting me on the head. Well,
Adieu!
