Chapter Two: She's Scary When She's Mad!
"Oh no, is Rin-chan alright!" Kagome cried. Jaken had just finished explaining what happened. He shook his head slowly.
"I don't know whats wrong with her! Sesshomaru-sama seems to have an idea. But he doesn't have what is needed to treat her injuries. Your medicine from that other era should help." Jaken said, his large toad eyes staring at Kagome. The middle school girl nodded in understanding.
"Of course we'll come and help." she said, smiling. Inuyasha shot her a heated glare. He crossed his arms defiantly, making a soft noise of protest.
"Speak for yourself. I don't make it a habit of hanging out with that bastard." he mumbled under his breath. Jaken gasped in horror.
"How dare you call Sesshomaru-sama out of his name in such a vulgar manner, you half breed whelp!" he cried, jumping up and down. Inuyasha growled. He whacked Jaken on the head.
"How dare you call me a half breed whelp, you hideous little toad!" he yelled, holding up Jaken by his collar. The small demon struggled with all his might to break free, fear obvious in his eyes.
"Osuwari." Kagome mumbled. Inuyasha released his hold on Jaken, once again falling face first into his good friend, the dirt. Jaken quickly ran over to Kagome, cowering behind her. Kagome sighed.
"I don't see the problem with helping out Sesshomaru. It's not as if he's never done the same thing for us." she said. Inuyasha jumped up from the ground once more, wipping dirt off his face.
"Don't you think it's a little strange for Sesshomaru to be asking us for help? I've known him since I was a kid, and he never asks anyone for help, even if he's on the brink of death. Why would he ask a group of humans and his half breed younger brother for help with mending a simple injury?" he mumbled. Kagome blinked. She hadn't really thought of that.
Miroku pondered this for a moment. "Well, we already know that Sesshomaru doesn't really hate humans. And it wouldn't be to far fetched to say Sesshomaru doesn't hate you as much as he lets on, Inuyasha. So perhaps he's requesting your assistance because he really doesn't know what to do and only trusts you with a task this serious." he concluded, nodding his head.
"Quit acting smart." Sango and Shippo said in union. Inuyasha snorted.
"I dont care what his reasons are, I'm not doing a damn thing for that jerk!" he yelled. Kagome grabbed him by his fluffy dog ears.
"Then do it for Rin-chan!" she yelled. "Jaken, lead the way."
Jaken shivered slightly. She's a bit scary when she's angry ...
Following Jaken's lead, Inuyasha and the group headed over to Sesshomaru's camp site. They heard the soft cries and sniffles of Rin as they approached. Kagome quikened her step, exploding from the bushes (and actually making Sesshomaru jump). She ran over to Rin, hugging the small girl gently.
"It's okay now, Rin-chan, I'm gonna make your arm feel much better." Kagome said, flashing a reassuring smile. Rin managed to smile back, nodding.
"Kagome-chan is quite good with children." Sango mused. Miroku smiled shyly.
"Yes she can look after ours once we have some," he whispered, grazing his hand down Sango's hip. Sango gasped, grabing her boomerang and knocking Miroko upside the head.
"Hoshi-sama!" she cried, blushing. Shippo rolled his eyes. He looked back over to Kagome and was surprised to see she had already finished tending to Rin's wound. She pulled a red lolipop out of her yellow bookbag, handing it to Rin.
"There you go, all better huh?" Kagome said brightly. Rin nodded, licking the lolipop eageraly. Kagome turned and looked at Sesshomaru. "It's not broken as badly as it seems, it should heal fairly quickly. But it was a simple mend, why did you need my help?" she asked. Sesshomaru only stared at her for a moment, then looked away. Inuyasha snorted.
"Who cares why? The girl is fine, now let's get out of here!" Inuyasha grumbled, turning and walking ahead.
"Hold it, Inuyasha. I want to make sure Rin's arm is going to heal properly. I suggest we hang around for a few weeks to see how the heal progresses."
"What!" Inuyasha cried. He glared at Sesshomaru. No way was he going to spend that much time with his vengence seeking older brother. It was like sticking a cat in a dog alone together in a room!
Kagome's eyes narrowed. "You heard me. And I suggest you and Sesshomaru start getting along 'cause you'll be seeing alot more of each other for the next few weeks," she said kind but firmly. Her voice left no room for protist. Didn't stop the demon brothers from trying though.
"There's no need for me and that half breed to speak to each other during this time." Sesshomaru growled, death glaring Inuyasha. The younger shot back a death glare of his own.
"Took the word right out of my mouth."
"Look you two! You're going to bond!" Kagome yelled. Inuyasha winced slightly. She was getting scary again ...
"But Kagome ..!"
"I said bond!" Kagome screamed, grabing the two brothers by their sleeves and pushing them into the bushes together. Inuyasha landed on Sesshomaru's stomach, groaning softly. Kagome added a couple of 'Osuwari' command, just to make sure they were 'bonding' enough. The groans grew louder, Sesshomaru joining in. Rin, who had been enjoying her lolipop, watched in amazement.
"Kagome-chan sureis scarey when she gets mad ..." she whispered quietly.
