Chapter 28: Some Time Spent Together

Sango walked through the doorway and everyone gave her a stare. "What?"

"Why didn't you tell him?" Kagome was curious, hoping she would give her a straight answer.

"Because... I don't want him flipping out that Shida is the one that Mouko is looking for. Besides, Shida didn't really want us to find out, any how."

"That's true but..."

"I don't want him to worry about Mouko. He just came back... I don't want them to fight and end up losing him again... He doesn't need to know right away. Plus, it's best that Shida tell him the whole story..."

"Keh! I suppose you're right. That ass doesn't need to know everything." Everyone ignored InuYasha's comment.

Meanwhile, Mouko was waking up as a shadow figure came toward him. Ukaran...

"So what did she say?"

"Well you see, I didn't ask her yet. I was about to but we were attacked by a snake youkai and I think you get the point."

"I see... Well, if you want your love back, you..."

Yeah, yeah yeah. I know. U don't have to remind me every time you see me." Mouko tried to get up but his leg refused to cooperate. Ukaran disappeared. Shida appeared with a smile.

"You're awake."

"Yes." He sat up and hissed as he moved his leg. Shida knelt next to him and saw the pierced clothing.

"Odd. You're leg should be healed by now. My magic is not working as it should."

"I'm a you..."

"Youkai? Yes, you're close to be called a youkai but I know you are strong enough to heal fast."

"Of course I'm strong! Ow!" He moved his leg again.

"Here... I got some bandages just incase, just let me rub some special herbs over it and..."

"No! That' will hurt!"

"It's going to get infect if it's not treated!" She softened her voice. "I promise it won't hurt as much."

"Fine!" He ripped his pant leg enough to reveal his wound to her. It wasn't a gaping hole but it was still deep enough. Shida took out her special herb out and started to mash it. She took out a big leaf. "This is going to sting a little."

He hissed as she rub the herb around his wound. She quickly bandaged the wound really tight. "There. All done." Mouko looked at it. Shida clapped her hands and appeared in front of him different sorts of food. "I figure you were hungry."

"Thanks!" He took the closet thing and started to eat it. She watched him as he gobbled it up. He stopped in mid bite. "Oh. I forgot my manners..."

She giggled. "Always trying to impress females. You didn't change one bit."

"What did you say?"

"Um nothing..." She quickly said. She took out a big red apple Mouko hadn't seen in years. She was about to take a bite when she caught him staring at him. "What?"

"Nothing..." He looked away.

"You want it?"

"Um..."

"But you didn't;t touch your meat..."

I thought you know everything. I'm not such a big meat eater.

Oh yeah... She mentally smacked herself.

"I do it it but when I have to. I-I-I just feel..."

"It doesn't feel right eating another animal. Yes... I know... So you still want it?" Shida held out an apple with a smile.

"Well..." He felt ashamed being greedy while there as a ton of things in front of him. "Is this a trick?"

She giggled. "No. Here take it." She toss it at him. "I take it that apples are your favorite."

"Of course!" He took a whomping bite out of it. Oh how I miss this taste...

Shida watched him eat it like the day she first met Mouko. "So are you going to find this person soon?"

"Um... Yeah. My leg still hurts." Shida shook her head. She saw his tail move a bit. Oh how she wish to pet it like she did one day when they were kids.

"Um Mouko?"

"Yeah?"

"Can I pet you tail?"

Note: If there are any Mouko and Shida fans out there... I hope you like this chappie... I needed a a chapter for them to bond more...
