You're actually reading chapter two? o.o wow. okay, well, i'm not sure exactly how Inuyasha's clothes work, but I see it as he has the red shirt and pants on, and under that he has off-white shirt and pants, so in order to cover Akoiyasha's body, Inuyasha gave her the red shirt and pants and is wearing the off-white ones.
Of the Heart
Akoiyasha practically glued herself to Inuyasha's side on their walk. Fuming with jealuosy, Kagome glued herself to the other side. Inuyasha, however, took no interest in either of them, and unlike Kagome, Akoi kept her eyes ahead as they walked along. She didn't look at Inuyasha, and she didn't look at Kagome. Then again, she did have to keep her head tilted down slightly to keep her entire body shadowed in Inuyasha's cloth... or did she? Kagome eyed the demon girl curiously.
"Inuyasha, Kagome, you're back!" Sango exclaimed. She was wearing her casual pink and green outfit and sitting on a picnic blanket.
"And you brought a friend," Miroku said, grinning. Akoiyasha looked up, but saw instead of Miroku, the tree he was under. She ran over to the tree, sat under the shadiest part, and took the cloth off her head.
"Looks like a demon to me," Sango said, hoping it would sway Miroku. When still he walked towars Akoi, Sango tried, "And doesn't she bear a resemblance to Inuyasha?"
"Not her fault," Miroku grinned. Inuyasha growled and punched him. Akoi giggled, then patted the ground next to her. With a 'keh', Inuyasha took the spot.
"Inuyasha," she held the cloth around her as if she still needed it to protect her. "When do I have to give the cloth of the fire rat back to you?"
"How should I know?" he responded in his typical rude tone. "You're keeping it until we find some other way to shield you from the sunlight."
Miroku sat next to her on the other side, while Kagome and Sango sat together on the picnic blanket, the both of them enveloped in firey jealousy. Miroku didn't notice, and Inuyasha didn't care. Akoi told Miroku what could happen if she went in the sun.
"So why don't you have a cloak of your own?"
"I did, but gradually in my hunting and fighting it eventually got shredded to the point of no return."
"So you've lived in that forest since then?"
"Mm," she nodded. "It's only been a couple years, but nobody comes down this way anymore. Well... nobody that was willing to help me." She moved the blue warmer on her right wrist to reveal faded burns and patches of skin that had obviously bubbled and healed improperly. "One person didn't believe me and tried to yank my into the sun. The skin on my wrist began evaporating immediately."
As she re-covered the wound, Miroku asked, "Why didn't you just make a new cloak from the clothes of your victims?"
Akoi scoffed, then laughed. "You think I know how to make a cloak?"
Miroku tilted his head. "Well, why not improvise?"
Her ears twitched. "Improvise?"
"Yeah," he said, "Take a shirt and some pants from someone bigger than you and that's like 90 percent of your body covered, then tear some other cloth and wear it over your head."
"I don't like wearing baggy clothes, they restrict my movement," Akoi replied, crossing her arms stubbornly... then she blinked and blushed. Inuyasha's red robe and pants were anything but form fitting. "Well, this is..."
Miroku laughed softly. "I understand. So... what are you wearing underneath..."
"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Sango yanked Miroku up by the arm so forcefully it felt to him as if she'd ripped it out of its socket. "Now Kagome-chan made a nice picnic lunch for the four of us and we are going to sit down and enjoy it!"
"Keh!" Inuyasha opened one eye. "Unless she brought Ramen, I ain't hungry."
"Inuyasha..." Kagome growled again. Inuyasha sighed, and Akoiyasha glared. "OSUWA..."
Akoiyasha transformed and lunged at Kagome, using her front paws to pin the human down. Kagome reached for her arrows but Akoi picked them up with her mouth.
"Don't break those," Inuyasha stood up. Akoi put the arrow bag down and turned back to hanyou form. Inuyasha walked over and put a hand on her back. The female hanyou was now kneeling over the human, a leg on either side of hers and her hands on her... chest. Miroku watched with great interest, until Sango grabbed her Hiraikotsu and started chasing him around. Kagome gave Akoi a death glare, but the latter girl's eyes were closed. Inuyasha picked her up, sat her against the tree again, then sat next to her. Kagome grabbed her bow and arrows and stormed off, and somewhere nearby Miroku got bashed over the head by an oversized boomerang. "Can you control your transformations?"
Akoiyasha turned away. "Yes..."
Inuyasha sighed. "Look, I know you're only tryin' to help, but I really need Kagome." Akoiyasha's eyes flashed a deeper green than their usual colour, and Inuyasha suddenly felt as if he'd said something wrong. "I mean... it's her fault that the Shikon Jewel got shattered... she's my shard detector... nothing more..."
"She bears the same scent as an undead preistess I once met."
"...Kikyou?"
"We never actually spoke... she sensed me, I watched her, she aimed her arrow, I stood my ground, she lowered her arrow, I watched her walk away."
"Sounds like Kikyou," Inuyasha said admirably. Akoiyasha looked up, this time more sympathetic than angered. Inuyasha shook it off. "Kagome is Kikyou's reincarnation... but she's nothing like the original. Kikyou was one of a kind."
"She was very beautiful... and seemed like a complex individual."
Inuyasha nodded. "Naraku disguised himself as me and killed her, then her little sister made a clay body and fed it souls of the dead in order to get Kikyou back. Kikyou sought revenge on me and shot an arrow through my body, pinning me to the Tree of Ages for 50 years, until Kagome came along and pulled the arrow out."
"I'm guessing sometime after that came the incident with the Sacred Jewel?"
"Yeah, and now the shards are all over the Feudal Era. The thing is, Kagome lives in another time, so she transports worlds by jumping in the well."
"So she's not always here?"
"No, but when she is, I use her to tell me where the shards are, and she can also purify them with her touch." he tugged on the cursed necklace. "She's also the only one who can control this thing. Kaede, Kikyou's sister, put it on me so I'd behave, so whenever Kagome says 'osuwari' I..."
Akoiyasha slammed into the ground. "Itai..."
"Seems yours can be controlled by any voice..." Inuyasha blushed lightly.
"Indeed..." Akoiyasha sat up. Miroku suddenly appeared at her side.
"I really would like to know what you have on under there," the monk said.
"Where'd your girlfriend go?" Akoi looked around.
"She's not his girlfriend," Inuyasha said.
"Thank y..." Miroku began.
"She's his fiancee."
"Fiancee?" Akoi blinked. "Well that would explain some things." she started to disrobe. "Ultimately, however, I don't see what the problem is. It's not like I'm naked under here."
"Miroku has a history of hitting on every pretty girl he meets," Inuyasha explained.
"Oh," Akoiyasha said, taking the cloth off completely and folding it. "Is this what you wanted to see, Miroku?"
Besides the blue wrist warmer, Akoi also had a golden band on her upper right arm which had the Japanese text for 'death' painted on it, and a blue ribbon that curled around her left arm. Not only did she have demon ears, but a demon tail as well. She wore not a shirt, but bandages wrapped messily about her upper body, and something purple on her legs. He assumed it used to be pants but were now unevenly torn. She also had a silver ring with gold lining on her left hand ring finger, and a scar across her midsection.
"Don't you ever get cold?" Miroku asked.
"Nope. In the winter I turn into my dog form and hibernate."
"Where'd ya get that scar on your stomach?" Inuyasha asked.
"Meh, some freak stuck his sword into me."
"And the scar on your face?" Miroku was referring to a mark under her right eye. She touched it absently.
"I don't remember. That's been there since I was a pup."
"Why do you have two tails in your demon form but only one in your hanyou form?" Inuyasha asked.
"Why don't you even have a tail?" she grinned, stroking his tail bone. He shuddered and smacked her hand away, blushing.
"Don't do that!"
Her grin widened. "That works on you, too?"
"I don't know what you're talking about," Inuyasha turned away, still blushing.
"What does it do?" Miroku asked.
"It turns him on," Akoiyasha giggled, petting her own tail. "A demon's tail is their most sensual aspect. A stroke by anyone is enough to make one feel like they're in heat."
"Then why isn't it affecting you?" Inuyasha asked. Akoi put Shi-chan down.
"I've become accustomed to my own touch. However, if anyone else were to..." she blushed and was cut off by her own heavy purring.
"Cut it out, Miroku," Inuyasha warned, seeing that Akoi couldn't speak for herself. Miroku grinned and stopped.
"Couldn't help myself," he smiled gently, resting a hand on Akoiyasha's shoulder. "I'm sorry... um... what did you say your name was?"
She turned to look at him, still blushing lightly. "Akoiyasha..."
"Akoiyasha..." Miroku echoed. "Pretty name."
"Thank you," she rested her head on his chest.
"Akoiyasha," Inuyasha said, glancing at the hanyou's dail. "About earlier..."
"Later, Inuyasha," she said sleepily. "I'd rather we talk about that in private."
