Kagome woke up feeling strangely energetic.
"Kagome..."
"Good morning Inuyasha."
"Look in the mirror."
"Deja- voo."
It turns out that Kagome had not permenatly changed back into her normal human self. It was only the full moon that had changed her, " I feel so unaccomplished. This means I don't understand anything yet."
"Things such as these take time. You can never completely understand someone. Most likely the spell was focussed on one specific topic, needed to be understood, Lady Kagome. What do you understand? Maybe if we can find out what information is there, we can pick out what's not." Miroku said.
"Well, I understand how much weaker he is when he's human. I understand..." That he still loves Kikiyou. "..nothing eles." Although he said he loved me , he nver said he didn't love Kikiyou. He only loves me because I look like that dead corpes, Kikiyou. He's willing to go to hell with her. How does that not say love...? ... I don't even know why I'm in the middle of this. I'm just making everything harder. I see when he goes to the Goshinbuku tree and watches the mark where he once lay by his love. And when he catches her scent or sees her soul stealers, how he runs after her... Each time it makes me a little more bitter. It's horrible. He doesnt even know what he does to me.
"hmm. Kagome are you alright?" she looked at Inuyasha in the face hiding her sorrow and smiled.
"Fine." He looked at her only half believing but dismissed it anyway.
"We should get moving if thats the case. I heard some villagers talking about a weird woman who can control the wind."
"Sounds like Kagura."
"Yea. So I'm figuring, where ever we find her, we find Naraku so we can finish him off."
"We haven't heard any thing from him in a long time. You think it's a trap?"
"Only one way to find out, right?"
"We leave in the morning then?"
"What do you say Sango, Miroku?" They all were certain on their departure but confused on what to do in the spare time. Until Kagome came up with an idea.
"What about a game!"
"Ooooh! Strip Poker? " Sango then took it upon herself to disagree with Miroku by colliding her boomerang into his head, multiple times.
"What about truth or dare?" Miroku corrected himself feeling a little woozy.
"Oh, I remember that game Sango said recalling the night Kagome had taught her that game, along with fire crackers and baord games.
"So... Inuaysha. Truth of dare?" Kagome started.
"Huh? Dare."
" Ok, Inuyasha. I dare... you... to... imitate every one of us."
"Like show how you act?"
"Yea."
"Well, this is Miroku. Cna i have an assistant, please? Kagome stood up, not sure of what Inuaysha particularly had in mind. She stood next to him and his hand streched over to her ass. "Will you bare my child?" Kagome's face turned red as she gave Iuyasha on hot slap across his face. "Ow. I thought I was supposed to be the one doing the imitations." And Kagome stomped back to her seat. "And Sango's all," He put his voice in a squeaky high pitch. "You pervert! Houshi- sama. Inuyasha, some times your clueless." Then he put his hands on his waist and shook his hips a few times.
"Oh, I am not like that."
"And Shippou says ' Idiot. He's so hopeless' and 'oh, let's go annoy Inuyasha.'"
"Yea, our main concern is bothering you, Inuyasha." Kagome piped in.
"And Kagome! She goes, 'Ooh. I love short skirts to show off my legs.' and 'I get kidnapped so many times I can't even count.' But not to forget the famous line-"
"Sit." Thud
"Oi, Kagome. I could of said it myself."
"It was calling to me. Well, Sango. Your next."
"OK. Miroku. Truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"Ok. Miroku. Why do you ask every woman you meet to bare your child?"
"The idea pleases me."
"Of having a kid?"
"No."
"Eww. Gross."
"Acually. If I dont defeat Naraku. I want to know that there is some one in my place to defeat him in my name."
"Some how, I only half believe that explanation."
"So, Inuyasha. Your turn."
"OK. Kagome, Truth or dare?"
After several rounds they decided to finish the game and go off and do seperate things. As usual, Kagome and Inuyasha left together and Miroku and Sango left together. Sango and Miroku went into the hut.
"Sango, how long have you been training to be a demon exterminator?"
"Well, I've been training since I was three, without a weapon of course. You've probably train the same amout of time as me right?" He nodded his head. "But how does a man of such impure thoughts become a monk?"
"There are good intentions behind my thoughts, I guess."
"There's no good intentions in your thoughts."
"You never know."
"I wonder what'll happen to us after we complete the jewel.."
"Live happily ever after?"
IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
"So how much food should we pack?"
"Well, we can always find food at a near-by village. We should pack for about two days tops."
"Oh look, Inuyasha! The suns setting!"
"It's there every day."
"I know that, but it really pretty. I guess I dont see it like that everyday. The water looks kinda luminous, and the sun looks so close. Like I can catch it." She smiled out at the horizon. He followed her gaze and found himself absently trying to catch the orange ball, imagining it would feel like the yoke of an egg. Her eyes adverted themselves and she found herself gazing at his focused features. His jaw line was easily seen, especially when he clenched his teeth and his whole body screamed untamed.. His golden eyes shimmered and he din't look like the type of guy who would call you a wench or a bitch. She took a second to laugh at that with no sign of joy or humor. His ears twitched and he gaved her a puzzled look.
"You alright?" She blinked herself out of her day dream and pushed all her emotions into a little ball and sent it to the bottom of her feet. She thought about where she learned that.
...Flashback...
"Kaede told me that whenever I'm mad, I should squeeze it into a little ball and down to the soles of my feet."
"Where it'll fester and devour you from the inside out."
"Yea. she told me that too."
"Inuyasha, your hopeless."
...End of Flashback ...(disclaimer: I saw that in a rosefire fiction. dead famous.)
"I'm fine."
"You seem mad. What'd I do now?"
"You didn't do anything. I'm fine. We should head back to camp. It's really starting to get dark."
"Don't worry your pretty little face, I won't let anything happen to you." She almost scowled at the statement but caught herself before she could. I never thought I was this bitter.
Thanx again to all my reviewers. I love ya'll. I'm sorry it took so long to write this chapter. But I promised I would finish, right.
