"Talking"

'Thoughts'

The Beginning of the Nightmare

Its summertime and the Inu gang head out in search for more jewel shards. In their search, the gang heads towards a small village that is rumored to have a shikon shard there, so they go there in hopes that the rumor is actually a fact not fiction. Now let us join in their journey there…

"Oi, wench! We there yet!" yelled Inuyasha with a very bored look on his face.

"Yes Inuyasha were almost there, could you be a little patient!" yelled Kagome with annoyance in her voice. 'He has been asking that for the past hour, if he asks one more time, I swear, I'm going to 'sit' him so hard that he'll be in America!' thought Kagome raising her fist up with anger.

"I am patient!" he yelled back at her. Kagome twirled around and faced Inuyasha with flames in her eyes.

"Yeah, right! You've been asking me if were there yet for the past hour!" she said glaring daggers at him. "You couldn't be patient for five minutes!" she yelled and put her hand in his face. "You hear me! Five minutes!"

He was starting to get agitated. He did not like her yelling at him and he especially did not like how she shoved her hand right in his face.

"Would ya move your hand out of my face!" he yelled at her angrily, giving her a glare back.

"Why should I do what you say?" she said mockingly.

"Because I'm stronger than you and you're just a weak little human," he said back giving a slight smirk. "So there," he said and stuck out his tongue at her.

She removed her hand from his face and put her hands on her hips, looking at Inuyasha as if he was an idiot. "You're acting like such a child"

"No I'm not," said Inuyasha and turned his head away from her, slightly pouting.

Kagome was starting laugh silently, trying her best to not to be heard by Inuyasha. Inuyasha was acting totally like a child and seemed so entertaining to her. It lit her mood up little and she decided that she will let him win this fight but the next one, he won't get off easy.

"Alright Inuyasha, you win," she said and raised her hands up in defeat and walked away from him, following the rest of the group who were far a head of them

Inuyasha looked at her with surprise. He raised his eyebrows up out of confusion but just shrugged it off and followed.

Grumble

Inuyasha's stomach was growling and he was getting tired of walking towards this so called town that they haven't even reached yet, so he decided that it should be known that he wanted his ramen now.

"Can we take a break, I'm starvin'!" he yelled to the front of the group so Kagome could her him clearly.

Kagome stopped talking to Sango, hearing Inuyasha whine about wanting to eat so she decided what they should do. She looked at her friends and saw that they looked tired and hungry too, so she decided they may take a break, besides she was tired and hungry also but didn't want that baka Inuyasha to think of her as a 'weak human'.

"Alright, let's find a good spot to eat are lunch!" she said cheerfully. She looked around the area to find the perfect spot for a picnic and she found one.

It was in an opening in the woods. It had a huge sparkling lake, which would be good if they wanted to take a quick dip, and also in the middle it had two huge trees which would make a good spot to set up their lunch plus it was hot out and laying in the shade sounded pretty good.

"Ooh! Lets set up over there!" she said excitedly, pointing to the spot and gave puppy eyes to Inuyasha just to make sure he'd say yes. "Please!" she whimpered.

"Gah, alright but you better make ramen," he said and Kagome nodded cheerfully.

Miroku eyes lit up a bit when he saw the lake "So will I be seeing you to lovely ladies in the lake naked," said Miroku giving his smile to Kagome and Sango. Of course, we all know that Miroku gained two hard slaps to his face. "Ah, well, it was worth the try," he said rubbing the burning cheek that Sango had slapped.

The young, red headed fox demon looked at Miroku with disproval and let out a sigh.

"Idiot," he mumbled. He looked towards Kagome who was unpacking stuff from her huge bag until something sweet had caught his eye. He ran straight for the candy Kagome put out.

Meanwhile as Kagome was setting up lunch, Inuyasha was already sitting on top of the tree, thinking.

'The jewel is almost complete, I wonder what I should wish for?' thought Inuyasha. 'What am I asking that, I already know what I'm going to wish for! I'm going to wish to be full demon!' and shook his head to get rid of that question. He peered down at Kagome. 'If the jewel gets completed will Kagome go home?' he frowned at that thought of her leaving him.

Not knowing that he was still staring at Kagome, she noticed and smiled at him. Inuyasha blushed but tried to hide it by looking away.

"Your ramen is done Inuyasha," she said giving him a heart melting smile. Inuyasha jumped down from the tree.

"It took you long enough, wench," he said with a dull look. Kagome's heart warming smile went away and replaced with a frown.

"You know what, I should probably give this to Shippo," she said threateningly.

Inuyasha grew frantic. He did not want his ramen be given to that orange fuzz ball and hear him brag how good it is from him so he decided, even if it's against his principles, to say sorry to her, not that he liked her or anything! He was just doing it for the ramen, right?

"I'm sorry alright, now give me my ramen!" he demanded. Kagome kept giving him the look.

Sango was watching the whole ordeal and leaned towards Kagome "Kagome I think that is the best you can get out of that stubborn hanyou," she whispered to her trying not to be heard by Inuyasha's sensitive dog ears.

"Your right," she whispered back to her and got up and Sango did as well. "Here, take it," she said giving the ramen to Inuyasha and he took it greedily.

Kagome watched him gorge on the ramen and to say the least, she was utterly disgusted.

'Note to self, teach Inuyasha table manners,' thought Kagome and walked towards the sparkling lake along with Sango.

Sango sat down, taking her sandals off and putting her feet in the cold water and got into a position to relax in. "Kagome, I've been wondering, have you sensed any jewel shards yet?" asked Sango curiously. Kagome sat down next to her, took her shoes and socks off too and also put her feet in the water.

"No, well, maybe. I'm not really sure, I feel this really strong aura near by but I don't know if it's the jewel shards or not," she said frowning from confusement and started to kick the water.

"Do you think the jewel shard or jewel shards could be corrupted from darkness?" Sango asked looking at Kagome with some concern.

Sango didn't not want the jewel shards to be corrupted by darkness otherwise the carrier could be a lot tougher and she did not want that. But if that is the case she will probably get some good exercise from it. Sango mentally laughed at that thought.

"It could be, but as I said before, I'm not positive. We will just have to wait and see," Kagome said and noticed that she was lost in thought.

Kagome frowned that Sango was no longer paying attention to her so she thought of a plan to get her notice her again. Kagome kicked some freezing water at Sango and watched as she snapped back into reality with a smile plastered on her face.

"Aieee! T-that is c-cold!" said Sango shivering and Kagome broke out laughing. "I-I'll get y-ou for th-this" she glared at Kagome who was still laughing.

"You deserve it for not paying attention to me," said Kagome wiping a tear from her eye. Sango glared at her angrily. "Oh come on, I was only playing," said Kagome and started to put her shoes on.

Sango just kept glaring at her menacingly and then swiftly grabbed one of Kagome's shoes.

"Hey give that back!" said Kagome reaching for the shoe but Sango pulled it out of her reach. Sango got up still keeping the shoe from Kagome's reach. "Hey that's not fair!" Kagome cried and got up still trying to reach for the shoe.

Sango was hovering the shoe above the water and swinging it back in forth, taunting Kagome.

"You wouldn't," said Kagome, eyes wide. Sango dropped the shoe with a smirk on her face and Kagome dived for it and caught it before it the water but sacrificed her socks in the process.

Once Kagome got out of the water and regain her posture, she glared menacingly at Sango.

"I told you I'd get back at you," she said with a smirk and walked away and Miroku followed her silently.

Kagome smiled when she saw Miroku sneaking behind Sango because that only means one thing, he will grope her.

'At least she gets what's coming to her,' thought Kagome happily and put on her shoes even though it felt uncomfortable with the socks wet.

She looked up to see if Inuyasha was done eating and noted that he was sitting on the branch relaxing. Now everyone was refreshed she decided it was time head off again but before they do, she needs Inuyasha to do something…

"Hey Inuyasha, come down here for a sec," she said and Inuyasha obeyed. "Could you get on top of the tree and see how far we are from the city?" she asked.

"I am no lookout dog," said Inuyasha arrogantly.

"Really!" Kagome said acting shocked. Inuyasha glared at her with so much hate at that moment. "I was joking alright, would you just do it!" she commanded giving him a serous look.

"Feh, fine," he said and jumped into the tree once again.

'Another note to self, next time he acts like that 'sit' him,' she thought and she made sure she would remember that.

It was quite for a while and Inuyasha hadn't come down yet and Kagome was wondering what was taking him so long. Of course the silence was broken when she heard the word 'Hentai' and a long echoing slap from behind her.

Inuyasha jumped down right in front her spooking.

"Gah, don't do that!" she said putting a hand where her heart was.

"Feh, whatever," he said giving her a pitiful look. "The town is not far from here so it shouldn't be that long of a walk," he said pointing to the direction they must go.

Kagome nodded.

"Sango, Miroku, Shippo, come on were going!" she yelled back to them. They looked up at her and nodded. "Oh, I almost forgot," said Kagome and she reached up and petted Inuyasha on the head like he was dog. "Good Inuyasha"

Inuyasha stared at her in disbelief and he grew very angry.

"Why you little," Inuyasha whispered, red in the face.

"C'mon, Inuyasha we have to pack up," Kagome said and hurriedly starting to pack up their stuff, ignoring Inuyasha's glare.

He folded his arms and kept glaring at Kagome. "I'm not doing anything, I already did my part," he said arrogantly and jumped on to the branch.

Kagome shook her head and just ignored Inuyasha continuing what she was doing.

The gang quickly packed up (except Inuyasha, lazy bum) and headed out towards the town, sparing no time so they can make it before sunset otherwise they would have to camp outside. Luckily for them, time was on their side…

"Look up ahead!" said Miroku and pointed towards the town.

As they got closer they realized how big it really was and how beautiful it looked. The buildings were very tall and beautiful; they seemed to shine in the sun. The gang headed into the city looking at every detail it held. Everyone seemed happy and joyful. Children played and the adults gave them a warm smile as they passed which was unusual for their case. This place seemed too good to be true.

Something seemed to be pulling Kagome's skirt so she looked to see what it was. Staring back at her was a little girl who seemed no older than a six year old. She had short grey hair and emerald eyes, she wore a shorts and a shirt with a little black hat on her head.

Kagome turned around and kneeled on her knees and smiled. "My name is Kagome, what's yours?" asked Kagome happily. The little kid just stared at her not saying anything at all and looked down at her hand.

Kagome peered at her hand to see what she was looking at and noticed what she was holding. It was the shikon jewel that was around her neck.

Kagome took it from her with shock. "When did this-? Thank you for finding it and returning it, if you hadn't I'd be in trouble with my friend," said Kagome and pointed towards Inuyasha. "He would have gotten very cranky"

The little girl looked at Inuyasha and Kagome could have sworn her eyes turned red for a moment but shook it off. She couldn't of been a demon otherwise she would of kept the jewel to her self but then again these could be a fake. Kagome glanced down at the jewel, furrowing her eyebrow. It's not a fake, it glows like it should, it must have been my imagination. Kagome realized that the little girl was still watching her and smiled at her.

Kagome stood up and held out her hand. "Would do you be kind to show us where the leader of the town leaves?" she asked sweetly.

The little kid looked at her then her hand. She moved her hand slowly towards hers and was about to hold her hand but Inuyasha pulled her away.

"Stop playing with the brats and c'mon. We have someone to take us to the leader of the village," he said sternly.

Kagome looked at him with a pout and sighed heavily. "Fine," she said lamely and looked back at the little girl with a smile. "Bye!" she waved at her happily.

"C'mon!" he said irritably and started to push Kagome away.

"I'm going, I'm going. Sheesh," said Kagome and ran towards where the group had stop.

Inuyasha stopped and looked back at the kid. She was staring at him with her emerald eyes and then she smiled at him with an eerie grin which made shivers go up his spine. He turned around and followed the group slowly. There was something wrong here, Inuyasha could sense it and there was something very strange about that kid. She didn't feel human at all but neither did she feel demon or even half. Yes, something was very wrong here and he was going to figure out what no matter what it takes.
