Only in a world so cold

Chapter 7

Loosing The close bonds

As the group continued in silence, they were still unaware of the dangers the lurked, waiting for the right moment, when the bonds start breaking…..

Soon they reached a split in the road.

"So, which way now?" Kagome said with boredom.

"And what is that supposed to mean?!?" Inu-Yasha snapped, taking it completely the wrong way.

"Nothing, I'm just tiered---"

"Tiered of following me?!? Do you wanna lead Kagome?"

"N-no Inu-Yasha, gees didn't mean to offend you or nithin', what I mean is—"

"Is that you're tiered of following me!"

"No! I don't care who leads! I'm just tiered of walking! THAT'S ALL!" She yelled, almost shocking herself.

"Calm down Kagome, it's fine, we'll b able to rest later." Sano put a warm hand on her shoulder.

'NO! We can't stop!" Shintė blurted.

"What the hell do you mean!?!" Inu-Yasha jumped in her face.

"Look," she started calmly. "If we stop those spider things will find us."

"Let them." He spat.

"Are you trying to kill us!?!" Miroku backed off slightly. "What are you trying to pull Inu-Yasha?! Send us straight to our deaths!?"

"I agree. Inu-Yasha, what's wrong with you?" Kagome revolted, glaring into his yellow eyes.

"Ya, Inu-Yasha." Shippou said hiding behind Kagome

"Shut-up ALL OF YOU!" Shintė shouted, slightly embarrassed that she at what she had just done.

Everyone looked at her with anger in their eyes.

"Listen, we can't fight, don't you see that's what Naraku wants?!?" She looked into their eyes again, she could see the anger rising like waves at high-tide. "You can't fight. Fighting never solved anything among friends."

"Ya who are you to say?" Kagome spat, but immediately covered her mouth, sorry that that had to have come out like that.

"What?" Shintė looked shocked, but mainly hurt. "What did you say?"

'Kagome!" Sango and everyone else looked at her with wide eyes.

'I'm sorry. I..it slipped out." She said quietly.
