"Why do I all of a sudden have the feeling that someone wants to hang me by my pinkies and have rabid dogs bite at my feet?" I had sensed that a couple of minutes ago. It was a very freakish sensation. I only had one guess. Mr. Johnson. Then, I didn't know how right I was.
"That was totally random!" Taylor exclaimed. Taylor is in love with random. She loves all things that are random, and she loves to be random. "You're really starting to scare me Heather." Alexa gave me this look that suggested that I was some kind of psycho. This hadn't been the first time that I had weirded out my companions. Earlier, I was so into my daydream of my newest fantasy adventure, that I started making the facial expressions that I was making in my fantasy. I couldn't even explain that one to everyone else, so I told them that I had a rock in my shoe and didn't want to stop and take it out. Later I had tripped over a tree root. It was so embarrassing. I always was a klutz. A while after that, I had started to daydream about beating the hell out of Jake. Back at school he liked to bother me by talking about sex, death, ways to kill people, commit suicide, and he would stick his face in mine and roll his eyes into the back of his head. So whenever I would daydream about beating the hell out of him, I laughed out loud and scared everyone into thinking that I belonged in the insane asylum.
"Heather, you have been acting really weird today. Let me check your temperature." Sango put her hand up to my fore head and quickly took her hand back. "Well, I think you have a slight fever. Maybe you should ride Kirara the rest of the day." Sango suggested looking over to Kirara in sympathy. "There is no need Sango. I feel fine. A little tired from walking and the heat, but still fine." By this time, everyone else had already stopped and were starring at me as if they were expecting me to fall over.
"Heather, please. We want you to be healthy and to not strain yourself. Just get on Kirara." Taylor started pushing me toward the already transformed Kirara. I started kicking in protest. She was so startled, that she let go of me and I ran to the right. Miroku all of a sudden grabbed me and started lifting me up on Kirara and when I was almost at the top, Miroku pushed against my rear and I was on. I gave one more kick of protest right in Miroku's face. "Don't be such a pervert! I appreciate the help, but you ruined it by making a perverted move. I feel like a prisoner and I want to get off now!" No one listened to me and we started moving.
It was at least enjoyable to watch Miroku stagger around because of my kick. His nose was bleeding, and his eyes were squinting in pain.
I did like riding animals. I turned around eagerly wondering if riding Kirara was like riding a horse. It actually was and very enjoyable. The only difference was that Kirara was hairier. The shift between Kirara's shoulder blades rubbing against my thighs was making me do the same. It was so wonderful and soothing. Since I hadn't gotten any sleep last night, it made me drowsy. I can never sleep in a new place. Especially one so far from home. But soon I would get used to it. I had seen some funny things last night while I was awake watching everyone else jealously. For one thing, I was extremely scared of what could attack me while everyone slept. I've always been afraid to lose my life. I also learned that Inuyasha snores like an elephant! And Miroku, he snores. It's just a tiny little annoying squeak though. Very girly. And Alexa was sleep talking. I got something ssssssssoooooooooo juicy! She was dreaming about Inuyasha. She was telling him how sexy he was! This will be good blackmail for Kagome and Inuyasha! And to bother Alexa. If I ever do tell Alexa that I know that she likes Inuyasha, she will kick my butt! But it will all be worth it. My thoughts were soon cut short when everything went black and I shifted into dreams.
"Is Heather normally like that?" Sango asked what was on everyone else's minds. "Only if she has lack of sleep." Alexa replied thinking it was obvious. At least to her. "Well than, did she get any sleep last night?" Taylor didn't know why people could function with sleep. She functioned ok without much sleep. She went a week without sleep and was very hyper and happy that week. "She probably didn't. I don't know why though. We should ask her later." "Well I think that she's pretty weird. Why are we even talking about her?" Inuyasha didn't seem to like Heather. There was something about her that just didn't seem quite right. He didn't mean that Heather was crazy or anything. Ok, maybe a little, but that's not the point. He could sense something about her that made him feel angry and uneasy.
"I think that she's pretty sweet. How did you three become friends anyway?" Sango inquired thinking to her self, She is a bit weird….but sweet nonetheless. "Well, we met during gym and when she saw my planner, it was decorated with the Avatar symbols," Alexa realized that she couldn't tell them what t.v. was, and she didn't want to explain the whole thing to them, "conviently a book that we were both interested in, so we started up a conversation on it, and we started hanging out more and more. Then I introduced Heather to Taylor." Alexa looked at Taylor for a side comment. "And that's how we are today!" She yelled with a big grin. "We are getting off the subject! We need to discuss something more important than that stupid girl! The shikon shards!" Inuyasha certainly needed to desperately change the subject.
"Well, so far we have four, and Naraku has the rest." Miroku answered nonchalantly. "And how do you plan on getting those back?" Inuyasha yelled into Miroku's ear. Jeez. What crawled up Inuyasha and bit HIM? Miroku thought giving the huffing Inuyasha a quizzical look. "Why don't you solve your problem now and try to take them from me?" A voice said from behind.
Everyone whirled around to look into the face of Naraku. A gasp was emitted from the group. "Dun dun dun." Taylor said dramatically. Everyone glared at Taylor and Inuyasha yelled, "This is not the time!" Kirara hissed and backed away from the field with Heather still on top of her back completely unaware. "I can't play with you, but Kikyo will be happy to strip you of the shikon shards." Naraku smirked as Kikyo stepped out from behind him with an evil smirk on her face. Inuyasha's face turned white and he seemed to tense up. " K….Kikyo?" was all that Inuyasha could whisper. "How could you betray Inuyasha Kikyo!" Kagome ran up to Inuyasha's side and clutched his shoulder. " Inuyasha…I…" Kikyo's eyes fluttered close as she fainted. Inuyasha rushed to her side and caught her, leaving a stunned Kagome. " Kikyo." Inuyasha looked down at her feeling confused on what he was supposed to do. Kikyo's eyes opened a scratch. She slowly pulled something from her sleeve. Kikyo, how could you side with Naraku? What are you plotting? Inuyasha gasped as he felt pain in his stomach. He looked down to see a hidden knife in him. Kikyo held it in her small hands with a smirk on her face. She violently yanked the knife out, and Inuyasha fell to his knees in pain and emotional shock. "Inuyasha!" Kagome wailed as she ran toward her fallen love. Kikyo stepped in between them. Kagome skidded to a halt. She felt herself lifted in the air. Kagome looked around her and saw soul skimmers swarming around wrapping themselves about her. She frantically tried to squirm out of their grasp. The witch kikyo strode up to Kagome and tore the shikon shards off her neck. They were held in a bottle tied to a necklace. "Good, Kikyo. You have done your job well." Naraku's eyes were dancing with glee as kikyo handed over the shards. All Inuyasha could do was sit there and stare, frozen by confusion. "We must go now Kikyo." Naraku spoke as he summoned his wasps and Naraku took off with the double-crossing priestess.
