Chapter 4: A Little Bonding
Everyone was as
cheerful as could be, except Fae, who could hold a grudge!
"What shall we eat for dinner? How about Ramen?"
Kagome asked cheerfully.
Inuyasha's face lighted up even more.
"Yes, please!" He said happily.
"Humph!"
Fae grumbled, crossed her arms, and looked in a different direction.
Inuyasha just rolled his eyes at her.
"Is Ramen fine
with everyone?" Kagome asked, she always thought of everyone
before herself.
"Sure!" Sango said happily, but she
really didn't like Ramen too much.
"Ok, then Ramen it is.
Now, how long until we stop for the night?" Kagome asked.
"I
suggest we go a little further and then stop." Miroku admitted.
"I second that!" Inuyasha said, he never liked how
weak humans could be.
"Ok. So, Fae, what do you eat at
home?" Sango asked, trying to dream of better food than Ramen.
"Well, we have hamburgers, hotdogs, oh, and Chinese and Japanese
foods are the BEST!" Fae answered.
"What are
hamburgers?" Shippo asked.
"Well, they're like a rice
ball, but it is flat and made from cows. It's quite good with
vegetables," Fae answered.
"Sounds delightful!"
Sango said, dreaming of it.
Fae chuckled.
"Well, enough
talk about nasty food, and let's eat Ramen!" Inuyasha said,
throwing his hands up in the air and attacked Kagome's backpack.
Everything was on the ground until Inuyasha found the noodles in a
cup. He's so cute when he's not angry. Wait, what am I thinking!,
Fae thought.
So Kagome and Fae heated up the Ramen while Inuyasha
sat and watched impatiently, rubbing his hands together. When they
were finally done, he snatched it from Kagome and ate as if he had
been starving.
"Slow down, Inuyasha! You'll choke, eating
that way!" Kagome warned.
"Don't I just wish."
Fae mumbled to herself, yet thanks to Inuyasha's great demon senses,
he heard her and glared at her.
"What!" She said, and
giggled.
"I heard that!" Inuyasha said with his mouth
full.
"It's a good thing too!" Fae said and stomped
her foot at him.
"I wish you tow would stop fighting!"
Shippo said.
"Oh, shut up Shippo!" Inuyasha growled.
"Leave the boy alone Inuyasha!" Fae ordered.
"Hell
no, especially since you said so." Inuyasha replied slickly.
Now Fae was royally ticked off!
"Will you shut the hell
up, mutt face!" Fae yelled.
"No! You weak, damn ugly
human!" Inuyasha screamed.
Fae urgently stood and Inuyasha
did the same. They then started to scream in each others faces until
Kagome finally yelled, "INUYASHA, SIT BOY!"
Inuyasha
slammed hard into the ground. Fae laughed her guts out, in a manner
of speaking. Everyone also laughed as Inuyasha groaned into the
ground, which made his voice muffled when he wined.
"You
made me do it!" Kagome said, folding her arms. The
next morning, Fae awoke to a sharp pain in her side. Inuyasha had
kicked Fae!
"Oww!" Fae screeched.
"Wake up
you woman!" Inuyasha called.
Fae got up holding her side.
"You're going to pay for that!" Fae threatened.
"Oh
yeah, whatcha gonna do about it?" Inuyasha teased.
Fae just
angrily stomped off toward Kagome.
"Oh! Good morning Fae!"
Kagome greeted her with a homely smile.
"It's not so good
for me." Fae said.
"Why?" Kagome asked.
"Oh,
it's just my evil bully!" Fae said, glaring over at Inuyasha,
who thankfully wasn't looking her way.
"Just leave him be
and he'll get over it in no time!" Kagome reassured her.
Fae
just nodded.
So the group walked on the road again, until when no
one expected it, Inuyasha was shocked by a barrier. He fell to the
ground in pain as everyone laughed.
"Now who's the weak
one?" Fae asked, slyly.
Inuyasha conjured a sweat drop.
"It seems as though it's a very strong barrier."
Miroku stated.
"Wow, and he's a stator of the
obvious!" Fae said.
Inuyasha stood and said, "I'll
break it!"
He unshielded the Tetsaiga and it magically
turned red. He then ran and stroked the barrier to where it broke.
Inside the barrier was what they had been dreaming to find for a very
long time, it was Naraku's dwelling/village.
"Whoa, this
man's got some power, huh?" Fae asked, amazed at the size of
the dwelling.
"You can say that." Inuyasha said.
So
the group walked on into the village until they came into a fog of
miasma!
Everyone started coughing except Inuyasha, who hurriedly
covered his nose, which was very sensitive.
cough, cough"What
is this stuff?" Fae asked, coughing even more from breathing
after she spoke.
"Don't breathe too much of it in, it could
kill you! It's miasma, a very poisonous gas Naraku dwells on. Here."
Inuyasha handed Fae a cloth that she tied across her face to cover
her nose and mouth.
"Thanks. I'm sorry for earlier."
Fae said thoughtfully.
"There's no time for sorries, he
knows we're here!" Inuyasha said, running into the largest
building in the village. Everyone ran in after him.
