"talking"
'thinking'
(telepathy)
Hikari gently traced the snake mark on her arm, sighing. Now the girl was gone and she was stuck here. "What a day . . ." she said out loud, sliding to the bottom of a particularly large rock. "I can't believe I'm saying this, but I should've listened to Hiei. If I'd've done that, I'd be sitting at home right now instead of in the middle of this stupid forest 500 years in the past."
A voice behind her awoke her from her thoughts. "Is someone there?"
It was the hanyou, Inuyasha.
As quietly as possible, Hikari slipped into the shadows of the rock, projecting a feeble barrier to keep her scent undetectable.
"I guess not." The half breed took a few sniffs, then shuffled around, doing something.
The youkai in the shadows tried to get a glimpse of him to see what he was up to, but couldn't get the proper angle on him. An idea ran through her head, and her eyes flashed, revealing Inuyasha's thoughts to her.
'I'm glad Hikari's okay . . . I could never forgive myself if she died because of my stupidity. Wait. What am I thinking! I hardly even know the wench! Her scent must be getting to me. I have to admit that is one hell of a sweet smell.'
The demoness's face contorted into a look of utter annoyance. 'Will you stop thinking about me for a sec and tell me what you're doing!'
'I could probably just sit around smelling her all day. I've never encountered anything even close to that fragrance before. And to think what she smells like in heat . . .'
Hikari made a look of disgust as she closed off the link to him. 'Disgusting pervert! Why does every man I ever meet have to think about me like that!'
Inuyasha sighed. The demoness tried again to get a view of him, and this time caught a glimpse.
He was sitting in the water of a hot spring on the other side of the rock she was on, obviously bathing.
A hot blush crept onto Hikari's face as she quickly looked away. 'Alright. That wasn't quite what I was expecting.'
She heard the hanyou take a few more sniffs. "Whose there!"
Blinking, Hikari looked around herself, not feeling the familiarity of her barrior. 'Damnit! I let my barrior go down!'
"Wait a sec. Hikari?"
'I'm dead . . .' The demoness ever so carefully tried to creep away, but a few seconds later, Inuyasha's head poked over the top of the rock.
"What the hell are you doing here!" He smelled a small bit of fear in her scent and knew that she hadn't been spying on him. Well, purposely anyway.
"I . . . was just . . . um . . ." She continued to try to edge away, thinking up some excuse.
"Kaede told you that you shouldn't go off on your own, so what the hell are you doin' out here by yourself!"
"I . . . well . . ."
The fear in her scent continued to grow, and Inuyasha felt himself be more and more drawn to her. "Look. At least come where I can see you."
"But you . . ." She looked up at him, then quickly looked away again, blushing more furiously than before.
His head disappeared for a second before he walked around to where she lay crouching, now with his pants on. She timidly looked up at him, his face sporting a mixture of annoyance and something else.
"It's not like I really care that you saw me. What I do care about is that you're out here alone when Kaede told you not to."
"Uh . . . sorry?" She looked away again, biting her lip.
"Sorry ain't good enough." He walked over and pulled her up by her arm. "You're cursed, remember? I'm not gonna have you die on me!"
She blushed again. "Why do you care if I die or not?"
Inuyasha cursed mentally. "It's not like I care! I just don't want any guilt trips over it, alright!"
Hikari quickly took her arm back from him, glaring. "Well sorry for messing with your conscience!"
The hanyou smelled the anger coming from her and couldn't help but be reminded of when he said the wrong thing to Kagome. "Geez! Will you stop looking at me like that! Let's just get back to the village already!"
"I'm staying here!" She quickly sat on the ground, crossing her arms, making it clear that she wasn't about to move.
"Stop being stubborn! We're going back!"
"No, and you can't make me!"
"Wanna bet on that!" He quickly picked her up and flung her over his shoulder.
"Put me down, you creep!" She started beating on his back as he casually walked around the rocks, heading for the village. "I said 'Put me down!'"
"Alright." He let her fall off his shoulder and into the water.
"You fiend!" Hikari yelled, spluttering as she came out of the water, the kimono sticking to her.
"You're the one that told me to put you down." He smirked as she walked out, fuming. "You never said where."
"Why I oughta!"
"Let's just go already."
The demoness crossed her arms and brushed by him, still looking pretty angry. Just as she passed him, an evil smirk came onto her face. In an instant, Inuyasha found himself also soaking wet in the middle of the spring.
The hanyou looked incridibly angry as he surfaced again, and Hikari tried, but she just couldn't resist laughing. This was the wrong move, however, as the dog quickly grabbed her by the leg and pulled her back into the water.
"You jerk!" She splashed him, looking very pissed.
"Hey!" He tried to cover his head from the water, then quickly splashed her back.
"Hay is for horses!"
A splashing war soon ensued, neither willing to back down.
Kagome stared across the table at Yusuke who was quickly working his way through his third stack of pancakes. She stabbed a piece of her own and slowly ate it, never taking her eyes off the spirit detective.
"More please!" Yusuke held out his plate for Ms. Higurashi.
"Wow, Kagome. Your friend sure as a big appetite." She graciously took the plate and started piling more pancakes on it.
"I don't remember the last time I had good food like this to eat!" He took the plate back and started shoveling the food in his mouth.
"You should slow down," Kagome said, waving her fork at him. "You'll choke."
In a matter of seconds, Yusuke finished the pancakes and sat back in his chair, sighing happily. "Well, I didn't, now did I?"
Kagome sighed and chewed her last bite, then picked up her plate and Yusuke's and took them over to the sink.
The spirit detective got up and stretched. "Well, I think I should get going. My friends are probably worried about me."
"Alright. We'll see you later then, dear." Ms. Higurashi smiled at him while she gave Sota a few more sausages.
"Bye, Ms. H. Bye, Sota. Bye, Kagome." With that, he quickly exited the shrine, patting his stomach happily.
"We were just about to send out a search party, Yusuke." Kurama walked out from the shadows.
"Hey, Kurama." Yusuke turned around, then blinked at the girl next to the kitsune. "Whose she?"
"I'm Yugure. Nice to meet you, Yusuke." The girl smiled at him.
"Well, if we haven't gotten a new attitude with our new clothes . . ." Kurama looked accusingly at the girl who just gave him a sour look.
"He's a human, genious. Not a possessed one."
Kurama gave her an annoyed look. "Anyway, Yusuke. We need to start up our search again."
Yusuke ignored him as he looked curiously at the girl. 'Haven't I seen her somewhere before? Wait. Yugure?' "Weren't you with Hiei earlier?"
"Hiei? That fire youkai? Yeah. How'd you know?"
"I just saw you guys together up at that shrine back there. What the heck where you two up to in that well house, huh?" The spirit detective got a perverted smile.
"I somehow feel like I don't want to get involved in this conversation." Kasakia walked up to them, looking from the spirit detective to the fuming girl, Hiei right behind her.
"Hey, Hiei!" The smile still on his face, he walked back to the fire apparition. "I never knew you were such a lady's man!"
"Be quiet before I rip your eyes out and make you eat them," Hiei said cooly, glaring at Yusuke.
The spirit detective ignored him, then circled Yugure and Kasakia, eyeing them. "You have some goooooood taste though. Where's that other girl anyway?"
'That other girl again . . .' Kurama thought, his eyes narrowing in suspicion.
A vein popped on Kasakia's head, and she quickly punched Yusuke. The ninja took her quarterstaff off her back and started beating him with it as the youkai continued to hit him. Both looked like they weren't going to stop anytime soon.
"How very interesting . . ." The youkai stared fixedly into the mirror the young girl was holding, where a human-disguised demoness and a hanyou were walking back from their water war. "This girl has managed to gain Inuyasha's trust so easily . . . I should like to see what becomes of this . . ."
"You're leaving the fate of the jewel in the hands of a temptress? That seems rather stupid, Naraku." A woman entered the room, her face half hidden behind her fan.
"Don't underestimate me, Kagura. Should this woman relieve Inuyasha and Kagome of the jewel, it will be that much easier to get it for myself."
"I won't question your judgement."
Naraku turned his attention back to the mirror, where Inuyasha was putting his haori over the shivering girl's shoulders. "If this continues to develop as it seems, I might even be able to use her to my advantage." He smirked evilly, continuing his watching of the two.
"ACHOO!" Hikari rubbed her nose as she recovered from the sneeze. "I guess it's a little more windy out here than I thought."
"Either that or someone's talking about you behind your back."
"Now who would do that?" She gave him her most innocent smile and watched as he visibly stiffened. "Something wrong?"
"Uh . . . no. Just a little cold is all."
"It's your own fault for dropping me in that spring in the first place!"
"If you would've just agreed to go back!"
"If you would've not scared me so bad when you snuck up on me!"
"If you hadn't left the village!"
The two continued to bicker on their way back, neither ready to give in willingly.
DeVries: ... comes back out with Over... So why did he attack the dogs again?
Over: Because they were bugging him.
DeVries: Uh . . . huh . . .
Larry and Drag: ...sleeping on the guest chairs, snoring loudly...
Yami (TD): ... comes back with a perfectly cleaned fluffy... I had to make those stupid people clean it five times before they got it right! Then I killed them as punishment! And it would have been easier if you hadn't hid my dull spoon of death!
Larry: O.O
Drag: O.O
Over: ...takes back fluffy... Thanks, TD. I mean- Yami. Why the hell did you change your name to Yami Ichigo anyway?
Yami: It means dark strawberry. I like darkness, and I like strawberries. Can I have Kurama now?
Over: ...mock wonder... Hmmmmm . . . let me think about it . . . no.
Yami: ...pouts... Why not!
Over: Because a horde of rabid fan girls just took off with my Fluffy!
Yami: So why do I get punished! You were the one that gave him to them in the first place!
Sessy: ... comes back, looking pissed, random pieces of hair and clothes missing...
Over: FLUFFY! ...glomps him...
Drag: Um . . . Larry . . . let's run . . .
Larry: Good idea. Come on, Mr. DeVries.
DeVries: ...blinks at the scene... Doesn't she know that he's gonna kill her?
Yami: OVER! ...grabs Over and ties her to a chair... STOP HARASSING FLUFFY!
Sessy: ...eyes red, claws smoking...
Larry: Should we save her?
Drag: Well . . . fine. You deal with Fluffy, I'll handle thank yous.
Larry: WHAT!
Drag: 9 9 For me, Larry?
Larry: Fine . . .
Drag: Yeah! Now. Thanks to AnimePunk13 (Yeah, I know I did that whole messing with time thing. I was hoping I could get away with it, but I guess not. Oh well. I'll try to avoid it in the future. And yes, ...pet pet... poor Sessh. But he does get his revenge if you think that's a good thing for anyone's health.), sweet-girl8270 (Yeah, I like it when the ninja girl comes out too. Hopefully you got a few more laughs out of her.), rose (Well . . . I hope you figgered out that there were other chapters . . . though I can't really do anything about that, now can I? Hope to get another review from ya soon!), Youkolover (I completely agree! Inu gets away with WAY too much stuff! Now he finally is getting his just deserts!), Shabopo (Trust me. If she gets it (which I'm not saying if she does or not), it definitely won't be easy. I know Kagome's not gonna hand it over to someone who she doesn't completely trust, but she's also the type to be nice to just about anyone she comes in contact with. So no need to worry about her handing it over on a silver platter.)
Over, Yami, and Larry: ... running for their lives, Over still tied to the chair...
Drag: O.O I think I'll go . . . um . . . walk into traffic . . . ...edges out of sight...
