I know I was gone for a while, but I'm back now thanx to my wonderful reviewers who have inspired me to keep going.
Little Rascal: Thank you
Andreah Treole: Lol, you have succeeded in scaring me to update.
Devilangel92: Wow I feel so special now! Thank you so much
Disclaimer: As much as I would love to tell you guys that I now own Inuyasha I can't because, if I do that my mommy says the happy men in the white coats will take me away to a magical land. And as much as I want to go there I can't because, if I do I wouldn't be able to update anymore.
The small group made their way back to the mermaid's hot spring as quickly as they could. It took them a day and a half to get there. Kagome couldn't help but smile at the beauty of the spring as she grabbed the bag she had dropped by the boulder she and Inucenaru had been using to spy on Inuyasha and Kouga.
Inuyasha and Kouga grabbed their clothing and other belongings that they had left on the other side of the rock.
"Were going to get dressed." Kouga called over to the girls as they walked into the forest.
"Okay, have fun!" Kagome called back to them
Inuyasha rolled his eyes and Kouga shook his head in annoyance
"what happened to our clothes?" Inucenaru asked suddenly
"I don't know." Kagome answered as she looked down at her dress. "I really don't like dresses, it's easy for someone to look up my dress when I'm flying"
"I just don't like them."
"We'll have to buy some clothing at the next town we come to then."
"There's a nice human city about half a day away." Inucenaru said as she glanced up at the sun, "We could get there before sundown if we leave now and walk quickly."
"We should stop by there. Maybe we could get some more weapons as well so we can be ready for when we go against Koharu, whats-her-name, and the other whats-her-name."
"Don't forget the food. We can get lots and lots of food!" Inucenaru said happily clapping her hands together
"What are we so happy about?" Kouga asked walking through the trees with Inuyasha right behind him.
"Inucenaru is going to take us to a human city!" Kagome said jumping up and down.
"You are?" Inuyasha questioned, "But I thought Sango and Miroku were our priority."
"They are." Inucenaru answered, "But Kagome and I need proper fighting clothes and the two of us could use better weapons." She shrugged, "Plus I'm hungry."
"I should of known." Inuyasha sighed
"Let's leave already!" Kagome said, "I've never been to a human city before I want to go now!"
"She's right." Kouga nodded, "We should get going.
The four companions made their way through the forest.
Kagome looked up at the sky. Everyone in the group was really quiet and she couldn't stand it the silence that was bing shared between them.
"Has anyone ever read a book called 'Moon and Dreams'?" Kagome asked trying to get a conversation going.
"Never heard of it." Inucenaru said.
"Same here."
"Feh."
"It's a great book about a princess who rules the land of Dreams and how a princess from the moon plots against her and tries to take over. It's my favorite book in the world." She said
"Sounds boring." Inuyasha shrugged
"It's not boring it's a great book! You would know if you did more then sit on your butt all day and read something!" Kagome yelled angrily
"Calm down Kagome!" Kouga said.
"Yes," Inucenaru said stopping as she looked down the road where their destination was visible, "We're at the city now and you need to calm down or they might not let us in."
"Why wouldn't they?" Kagome asked
"They might think we are going to cause trouble." Kouga said, "So calm down."
Kagome looked up at the great white walls of the city.
"It's big." She said quietly.
"Does anyone have any cloaks?" Kouga asked
"Why?" Inuyasha said glancing at Kouga
"So they wont know we're demons."
"I have five cloaks." Kagome.
"Why do you have so many?"
"I was taught to be prepared." She shrugged as she took of the bag and began to dig through it. "Here they are." She began to take them out.
Inyasha peered over her shoulder, "How do you fit some much stuff in there?"
"Its enchanted." Kagome said simply
Now lined up onone side of the dirt road were five cloaks of different colors. Red, green, blue, white, and black.
"Everybody pick one." Kagome said with a smile. "They're enchanted so it will fit anyone."
"I call red!" Inuyasha called grabbing the red one and putting on.
"Blue" Inucenaru said
"Green!" Kouga yelled grabbing the one he wanted
Kagome took the white one and put it on before putting the black one back into her pack. (I'm rhymed!)
They all pulled the hoods over their heads to hide their demonic or fairy traits
Inucenaru glanced at Kagome she noticed that it looked as if her wings were longer there. "What happened to your wings?" She asked Kagome
"I told you the cloaks were enchanted." Kagome said with a smile.
Inucenaru grinned at her. "Come on. We need to find a place to stay for the night so we better get going."
They followed her to the front gate of the city where two guards stepped forward.
"What do you want?" One asked rudely.
"We are travelers and we just need a place to stay." Inucenaru said
The other man nodded and moved to open the gate when a strong wind came by and blew Inuyasha's hood off.
"He's a demon!" The first man called out. Both men drew their swords
"We aren't here to make trouble." Kouga said putting his hands up
"I don't care what you demons want. I know your kind." The other guard said angrily, "Leave before we have to hurt you."
Kagome looked surprised at their cruelty, "But we haven't done anything wrong." She said
"Shut up demon!" The first man yelled running to her and punching her in her stomach sending Kagome falling to the ground.
Kagome looked up angrily. "I am not a demon." She said getting to her feet, "And you had no right to touch me!" She yelled. Her wings, which were still not visible began to move and she hovered a few feet in the air. To the men it looked as if she were floating in midair. She glared at them angrily her energy sparked around her.
"W-who a-a-are y-y-you?" The second man stuttered
"I'm Princess Kagome of the Fairy Clan and I advise you let me and my friends into the city."
The men nodded and quickly opened the gates.
Kagome smiled as her feet met the ground once again, "Thanks!" She said in a sing song voice.
Her friends who had been standing there awe struck by her behavior followed her into the city.
"WOW!" Kagome yelled as her tried to twist her head in every direction at the same time in an attempt to see everything while she walked though the street
"You really should calm down and watch where you're going , Kagome." Inuyasha advised.
"But there's so much to see!" Kagome protested as she ran ahead and watched a mother with a baby looking at some fruits then she turned her head quickly to watch some kids playing in the street, "I don't want to miss any-" She was cut off when she ran right into someone and they both fell to the ground. Kagome looked at her now muddy brown cloak with a frown before looking over at the person she bumped into. It was a man with long silver hair and strange markings on his face. Kagome frowned. He was a demon
"I'm sorry." Kagome said with a smile, "I wasn't paying attention."
"Obviously." The demon answered getting to his feet. His face was void of any emotion as he looked down at his dirty cloths. "You are going to have to buy me some more clothes to make up for this." He said
"B-but I said I was sorry." Kagome said, "And I don't have any human money." She said.
The demon looked down at her. His amber eyes were cold and uncaring she couldn't help but feel fear for this demon, "Then you will have to work for me until you pay it off."
"How long will that take?" Kagome asked picking herself up off the ground.
"About two months."
"What!"
"You ruined my finest clothing." He said
"Kagome!" Inuyasha called running over to her followed by Inucenaru and Kouga. "Why are you covered in mud?"
"You see I ran into this guy here and now he wants me to work for him to pay it the clothing I ruined."
Inuyasha looked up at the strange demon for the first time. The second he did he growled angrily. Inucenaru did the same.
"What are you doing here, Sesshomaru?" Inucenaru asked angrily.
"I was going to ask you the same thing." Sesshomaru answered
"That's none of your business!' Inuyasha yelled
Kagome and Kouga stood there confused, watching the strange conversation.
Sesshomaru looked at the four friends before turning away from the, "Come with me." He said simply.
"Why should we?" Inuyasha asked
"Because if you do I might tell youwhy I am in a human city." Sesshomaru said still walking
That was enough to get Inuyasha and Inucenaru moving so Kagome and Kouga followed them still extremely confused at to what was going on.
They followed the tall silver haired demon to a large house at the edge of the city. The house was white and had flowers growing in front of it. It was definitely the prettiest building they had seen in the whole city.
Sesshomaru led them inside and into a large dinning hall. There was a big rectangular table right in the middle.
"Sit." He said simply.
The four of them sat down on one side. Inuyasha to the right Kouga and to the left of Inucenaru. Kagome took the seat on the other side of her. Just as Sesshomaru sat down across from Inucenaru a little green demon that resembled a toad came out with a tray full of food. Inucenaru's mouth began to water. The second the toady thing put the food down along with a plate for each of them she had a plate covered in various food.
The other three on Inucenaru's side of the table began to eat, but they ate a bit more proper than Inucenaru. Sesshomaru, though, did not touch the food. Insteadhe took this time toobserve the four friends. He was most interested by Kagome. She sat up straight and ate with well taught manners, strange for a person living in this time.
"Girl." Sesshomaru said
Kagome looked up at him, "Me?" She asked
"Who are you?" He asked ignoring her question.
"I am Kagome Higurashi, Princess of the Fairy Clan." She said
"Now, why are you here?" Inuyasha asked looking at the demon
Sesshomaru looked her a second more before turning his attention to Inuyasha
"I came here searching for a human." Sesshomaru answered. "She had been living in the palace when she was kidnapped."
"Question!" Inucenaru said raising her hand, "Why was there a human living in the palace?"
"She was the only daughter of the King of the humans. Father promised to care for her when the King and Queen died. But when Father died as well I got stuck caring for her."
"Why are you searching for her when it sounds like you don't care for the girl?" Kagome asked, "And how do you know Inuyasha and Inucenaru?"
"Sesshomaru is our half-brother" Inucenaru said.
"I wont be made a fool of. Who ever took her will die for taking what is mine." Sesshomaru answered is his cold voice.
Kagome nodded, "Okay." she said
"But why did you come here?" Inuyasha asked
"I heard that the man who took her was spotted here along with those who work for him."
"What does he look like?" Kouga asked, "Maybe we've seen him."
"Wait?" Inuyasha asked before anyone had a chance to speak, "Why should we help you?"
"Inuyasha!" Kagome said looking at him surprised, "I can't believe you would say that. He is only trying to rescue a human girl. We should help."
"Yes," Inucenaru said, "Maybe could find Sango and Miroku while we search for the human."
"Is it okay with you?" Kagome asked, "If we help you out."
"I do not need your help." Sesshomaru said glaring at her, "But you are welcome to follow me while I look for Rin."
"Okay." Kagome said with a smile. "I think that that is his way of asking for help." She whispered to Inucenaru
"He can hear you." Inucenaru whispered back, "He has demonic hearing, remember."
"Oh yeah. I forgot." Kagome whispered to Inucenaru
The three other demons at the table resisted the urge to roll their eyes at the two females.
"I'm sleepy." Kagome announced suddenly.
"You four can stay here tonight. I am leaving tomorrow at dawn to search for Rin."
They nodded.
"Jaken." Sesshomaru called
"Yes My lord?" The little green toad thing asked as t waddled into the room
"Take them to the guest rooms in the east wing." He said as he headed out the door.
"Yes My lord!" The Jaken toad answered with a salute.
I'm sorry for any OOCness. I really tried so I'm sorry if anyone (mainly Sesshomaru) seems OOC
