Chapter 4
Kagome didn't want to admit it, but they had to move sometime. Otherwise, Naraku could evade them once again.
"Inuyasha?"
"Mmm?" He had a small smile on his face, finally truly happy.
"Uh..we kinda have to get moving, or we might be too late..." He whined in his chest, not wanting to ever leave. "Alright." He picked Kagome up, laying her across his arms, (A.N. "Bridal style.") and jumped out of the freshly budded tree, smiling at Kagome's peals of laughter. The two landed on the dew-laden ground, Kagome still giggling in Inuyasha's arms. She sighed, climbing out of Inuyasha's grip, her shoes landing softly on the ground. She turned to look at him, and touched his arm, spinning on her heel to gather her things. She knelt down, and scattered dark soil over the fire pit, to put out the last of the embers. Strapping the monestrous bag to her back, she began to walk. "Where do you think you're going?" Inuyasha inquired, while playfully grabbing Kagome and swinging her over his shoulder. "Eeekk, Inuyasha!" she giggled. Inuyasha took off heading for the sunrise.
The sun was beginning to set, splashing bright, pearly colors over the horizon. Kagome had eventually persuaded Inuyasha to let her ride on his back instead of over his shoulder "like a bag of rice." as she put it. She held on, and since Inuyasha had stopped jumping from treetop to treetop for a while, she rested her head on his shoulder, and started to doze. The steady rhythm of his feet hitting the ground, and the warmth of his back, caused her to fall into a very deep sleep. When she let out a small snore, it made Inuyasha laugh to himself. She's not even the one running, and she's the first one to grow tired and fall asleep. He continued to run, until he found a suitable place to rest.
He felt Kagome start to slip from his back, so he quickly grabbed her thighs, hoping she wouldn't wake up to find herself in such a position. The thought made him cringe, thinking of that horrible "S" word she would most likely yell. He kneeled down and slid Kagome off of his back, onto the ground. He pulled her bag off of her back, rummaging through it until, he found a small pillow, and a fleece blanket. He laid the bag next to a tree, and lifted Kagome's head up, to place the pillow beneath her. Her hair flowed down like spilled ink, covering her face. He moved the hair, tucking it behind her pale ears. Placing the small pillow under her head, he grabbed the soft, pink blanket, covering her up to her shoulders. She let out a small moan, and shivered. Wow come to think of it, it is pretty cold. He walked around, finding sticks and logs of varying sizes. He piled them all together, small ones on the bottom, larger ones creating a tee-pee around them. He pulled out Tetsuiga and struck it against the rocks in the soil, making flashing, orange sparks to ignite the small twigs. The small needles and dry leaves ignited immediately, but soon died, leaving black, charred remains. He grunted, walking around to collect more pine needles, and dry leaves to hopefully keep the fire until the smaller twigs lit, which last longer. Soon he had an arm full, and he placed them around the base of the fire, striking the rocks once again. This time the dry brush caught, and soon the fire was roaring. He looked up at the stars between the trees, and thanked the heavenly beings he now had Kagome.
