Chapter 2
The Decision Was Made
Kagome smiled, "Well isn't that a nice name. Are you hungry we have some fish? We smoked it since we couldn't finish it. It's not much but I think it'll do for now."
Marashi's head jerked up, eyes wide,"Yes, Please!"
Kagome chuckled and stood up. Sango brought over five slices of smoked fish and set it down in front of the bear. It was gone in seconds, Marashi brought his head up while licking his cheeks. "Thank...you." he said between licks.
--------
Inuyasha stood off in the darkness, shadows covering his face. He felt confused, he knew that he couldn't trust this creature, but yet he seemed so innocent. Maybe he was just being too over protective over Kagome. He watched her stand up, the fire's light playing against her figure. Her eyes sparkled when she looked his way.
--------
Kagome looked at Inuyasha, but she couldn't see his face. Why is Inuyasha being so aloof, she thought to herself.
The baby black bear yawned and went to a nearby tree and curled up, his back was facing them. Miroku and Sango sat on one side of the fire along with Kirara and Shippo. Kagome sat on the other side all alone, Inuyasha was still in the shadows.
No on spoke for awhile, they were all waiting for the cub to fall asleep.
--------
When Inuyasha was finally satisfied that Marashi had fallen asleep he crept out from the darkness. He walked around the fire and sat next to Kagome. She looked up at him when he sat down a question in her eyes.
"What are we going to do with him?" whispered Kagome. She didn't want to wake Marashi.
"Whatever we do, he is not coming with us." said Inuyasha.
"Why not!" she snapped. "We can't just leave him here!"
Miroku overheard them talking. "Kagome's right you know, we can't leave him behind he doesn't have anyone to take care of him."
Sango who had been a daze snapped her head up,"Inuyasha are you seriously thinking that we leave him. He is just a baby!"
--------
God they were all ganging up on him, Why couldn't they see! They were getting on his nerves, he was not going to let that bear come along with them. There was no way they could make him change his mind, he turned his head away so he didn't have to look at them.
"Feh," he said,"That cub is not coming with us and that's final! I was little too when my mother died and look how I turned out." Pointing his finger angrily at the sleeping bear he said, "I am the leader of this group and I say that thing is not coming with us!"
Hearing Inuyasha say such things about a poor baby bear made Kagome furious, she jumped up to her feet and was towering over Inuyasha. She was shaking with pint up anger. How could he say such things, he's just a baby!
"Inuyasha!" she yelled. Inuyasha's face blanched, he knew what was about to happen.
"Inuyasha, SIT!" He slammed face first into the ground. With that action the decision was made, they were going to take Marashi with them.
--------
Marashi woke up a couple hours later. He had known that they had argued over him, he knew that he was going with them. Also he knew that when they went to sleep, the one that had called himself Inuyasha stayed up and watched him, even though he was asleep, he had felt those eyes on him.
The moon came out from behind the trees. Light fell upon the sleeping bunch, Inuyasha's back leg was twitching in his sleep, growls escaping him occasionally. Marashi looked away from Inuyasha and up at the moon.
It was almost time, the moon was almost completely gone. It has to be tomorrow, Marashi thought to himself. Tomorrow he will have to make his move. Sighing he laid his head on his paws and went back to sleep.
