Chapter 4 'Can I Learn To Do That?'

The group decided to stay at their campsite for the remainder of the two weeks, to ensure Shia's safety. Sango, Miroku, InuYasha, and Kagome ll say watching Shippou, Shia, and Kirara playing. "You know," Sango giggled. "I think Shippou has a crush on Shia." Kagome giggled too as Shippou puffed out his chest to look tough. "Kagome," Miroku started. "Why was Shia at your shrine to begin with?" InuYasha gave the same questioning look. "Yeah," he said. "You never have visitors at the shrine." Sango added, "And you've never talked about any relatives before." Kagome smiled. "Well," she began. "We really just found out about these relatives. It turns out that they're really wealthy. They go on a lot of trips and this time they wanted to go on one that they couldn't take Shia on. So they decided to call us and see if they could drop her off at the shrine." The group nodded in acknowledgment. After a while, they started to get hungry, so Kagome cooked up some more ramen. She called Shia, Shippou, and Kirara over and served everyone a bowl. Shippou and Shia chatted excitedly about everything they had in common. Kirara mewed every once in a while, as if she was in the conversation as well. InuYasha looked like he was starting to get annoyed with the chattering so Kagome shushed them and told them to eat. They were all eating happily until kagome sensed a jewel shard. "InuYasha," she began, but InuYasha had sensed the demon itself. "Go hide," he told Shippou and Shia. The two young ones ran and hid while the rest took their battle stances. "Shippou," Shia said worriedly. "What's Kagome doing, she's going to get hurt!" Within seconds, the huge demon appeared. "Wind Scar!" InuYasha shouted, sending a blast toward the demon. The demon toppled over. "Feh," InuYasha scoffed. "Too easy." Kagome stepped p and picked up a jewel shard and purified the demon with her touch. Miroku finished by sucking up the remains with his Wind Tunnel. Kagome put the jewel in the little bottle held around her neck along with the other shards they had collected. Shia and Shippou ran out from their hiding place and straight to InuYasha. "InuYasha!" Shia shouted. "Can you teach us how to do that?" She looked up at him with big, round, irresistible eyes. InuYasha looked at Kagome, who was leaning against a tree. He looked back at the two children and smiled a heroic smile. "Sure," he said "I'll start training you tomorrow morning." Kagome looked over at InuYasha from the tree she was leaning against. 'Is InuYasha really agreeing to spend time with 2 little annoying kids?'
