Ideas. . . . .I'm still looking for ideas

Kagome flew steadily alongside Inuyasha. They were still heading west, where the star dyes. A few days have passed since they were animals. Everything had been normal since, no sign of a demon or a shard.

Inuyasha scowled while truging threw the unfamiliar lands. What's got him so upset? Kagome glanced back at him. "Oh wench why do you keep looking at me?" he growled. "Nothing, I just thought. . . . .that," she trailed off in thought. Kagome looked down at her feet and sighed. He's hating this isn't he? I should have never dragged him into this.

Kagome flew up into a tree and sat down on one of its branches.

Inuyasha growled again. "Wench what are you doing?" he asked impatiently. "Why do you care?" she snapped. "If you don't want to be here then you can leave. I have to stay, I didn't force you so. . . .so. . . . .ah! I don't even know what to say anymore!"

Inuyasha's ears dropped. He jumped up in the branch and picked her up, landing back on the ground. "Of course I want to be with you," he growled stubbornly and placed her back down, but Kagome could have sworn that on the last part he held her even more tightly. Like maybe he was afraid of losing her?

"Now come on," he said and started walking a head. Kagome paused and then ran to catch up with him, not missing the chance to tweak his ears from behind. They flicked away from her grasp, which caused her to let out a soft giggle.

Inuyasha growled but Kagome could tell it was no real threat. She reached up for his ears again, but he dodged away. "Stop it," he growled. "What if I don't want to?" she questioned playfully, reaching again. "That's to bad because it's not up to you," he responded and jumped out of the way.

Kagome's eyes narrowed in an angry/playful gaze. Then suddenly her mood changed, her eyes widened and she screamed. "Oh my gosh a demon!" she shrieked and pointed some distance in front of Inuyasha. "Where?" he demanded to know, his hand already of the handle of the tetsusaiga, really to pull it out.

Kagome giggled and ran up next to him and tweaked his ears again. She knew exactly how to get him. Inuyasha growled again and turned to face her. "That wasn't funny," he pouted and stood on the ends of his feet so she couldn't reach his ears. "I thought it was," she smirked and flapped her wings lightly, hovering off the ground high enough to reach his ears.

Inuyasha growled and then turned to walk again, his playful mood disappearing. What was that all about? I thought we were having lots of fun, did he just end it? Was it because of my wings?

"So you said you've been attacked by more demons than usual lately," said Sango.

"Yes," replied the villager, in a gloomy tone. "But it's the strangest thing. All of the demons are bears." "Well sometimes demons travels in groups," she stated. "No, they come one by one, but attacking more than usual." "One by one?" asked Miroku. "Could they be planing something?" he asked.

"No it's a dumb ol' bear, it can't be that smart," piped Shippo. Kirara mewed in agreement. "Is there any kind of pattern in the attacks? Anything that all of the demons are doing the same? Behaviors?" Sango asked. The village women shook her head. "We never get close enough to see, and the one's who do are dead. All I know is that the bear demons are attacking us one by one," she sighed.

"Thank you very much anyway, you have been very helpful," said Miroku. They all bowed and turned in the own direction. "So are we going to stay here and help the village?" asked Sango, once they were all a good distance away. "I suppose," said Miroku. "If there is any way to find Inuyasha it would be in a place with lots of demons that come frequently. So now all we have to do is wait," he said and sat down on the grassy hill.

"In the mean time we could help them to our best extent. It does seem odd though, all appearing alone. It must mean something," Sango thought aloud. "They probably don't have jewel shards then," said Miroku, leaning back onto the ground. "Why do you say that?" asked Sango.

"If they had shards they're thirst for blood and death would over power them, making them all kill as fast as the could. If they had shards they wouldn't be coming one by one."

"You're right," said Shippo, who had just appeared with Kirara.

"Then it doesn't make sense," Sango said in an annoyed tone. "Then I guess we'll stay until it does make sense."

Kagome flopped down on the ground, exhausted. "My feet are killing me," she complained. Inuyasha crossed his arms and leaned up against the tree. "Feh," he said and looked in another direction. "A man of many words," she sighed and grabbed her halo. She turned it slowly in her hands and then released it so that it gradually floated back above her head.

"I don't understand how you can never be tired," Kagome pouted. "I'm half demon," he growled, still not looking at her. "I know," she said, looking off in another direction as well. "But you have to get tired sometime."

"No chance," he muttered and lept up into a tree.

Is being a jerk a guy thing or an Inuyasha thing? Kagome looked around. It was a beautiful day, the forest was lush and full of life, the birds were singing, and the breeze was warm. A perfect day for traveling, right?

Inuyasha jumped back down. "Ready to go now?" he asked, in a tone that obviously said that he already knew the answer. Kagome smirked. "No," she said. "Actually I'm not, nor do I know when I will be," she said in a 'ha in your face' tone. Inuyasha growled and walked over to her.

At first Kagome thought he was going to yell at her, but Inuyasha bent do and picked her up. "I don't care if you're ready, we're leaving. Now." Is it just me or have we been moving very fast lately? And why is he in such a rush to get out of here?

Kagome sighed and forgot about the thought, smuggling closer to him. Soon her eye lids became very heavy and she couldn't suppress a yawn. In moments she found herself drifting to sleep in her favorite hanyou's arms.

What a good way to fall asleep, right? Ut's like 11 at night so I thought I'd end the chapter with a sleeping thing. Does anyone remember the bear demon from chapter 8? That's why I made the demon attacking the village bears. But I know something you don't. You could guess, but you're probably wrong.
