N/A: Ok so the chapter is longer and a bit creepier...
Sesshoumaru seemed surprised at the young woman that had kissed him. This Sesshoumaru didn't love! Maika pulled away and blinked, apparently back to her normal self. Her eye's widened and she inched back slowly, blushing. Kagome clapped her hands together.
"Anyways! Where to next?" she told everyone. Sesshoumaru glared at Maika.
"I will not tolerate a wench like you to do that again." He told her. Maika whirled around to him and growled.
"SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT SIT!" she cried out. Inuyasha fell down on the ground laughing as Sesshoumaru had fallen flat on his face many times.
"Baka." Maika said, before turning back to Kagome. She grabbed her arm and Sango's then left towards a village down the hill, leaving the men alone. Jakken ran up to his master.
"LORD SESSHOUMARU!" he cried out, helping him out of the Sesshy crater. Inuyasha had gotten up by now and he crossed his arms.
"Never scorn a woman. Trust me on that one." He warned his half brother. Sesshoumaru just growled. How dare she humiliate him! Rin appeared behind Sesshoumaru.
"Lord Sesshoumaru? What did Maika do?" she asked him. Sesshoumaru looked down and rested a clawed hand on her head.
"Nothing." He said quietly. Something inside him felt weird. The way Maika had kissed him had surprised him, yes, but he had also…enjoyed it. He wondered if maybe he was feeling love. He shook his head. What a ridiculous thought! Of course not! Meanwhile down the hill, Maika was grumbling.
"He didn't have to call me a wench!" she muttered. Kagome nodded.
"Inuyasha calls me that all the time. Usually you just have to sit them." She told her. Maika stopped in front of the village and gaped. What the heck? The village sure was busy…and full of children! In fact Maika couldn't see a single adult around! She nudged Sango and Kagome and they both looked. A little girl with big brown eyes and black hair that were put up in pigtails walked up to them. She turned to the other children and they all looked back at the three women. Maika sweat dropped.
"Kagome…why are they staring at us?" she asked through clenched teeth. Kagome shrugged. "Um…where are your parents?" she asked them.
"We don't have parents." The little girl said. Her voice sounded dead and monotone. Something wasn't right here…why were the children alone? Sango turned to Kagome.
"Any jewel shards?" she asked. Kagome shook her head. Miroku appeared behind them.
"I'm sensing a lot of demonic power." He told them. Sesshoumaru and Inuyasha stood next to him. Suddenly a barrier appeared and surrounded the group. The little girl walked up to them.
"Will you be our parents?" she asked, innocently. Maika blinked then nodded. The little girl gave a small smile and turned to the other children.
"We have parents now!" she said. The little children cheered and ran up to the group. Inuyasha grumbled.
"Come on Maika. We don't have time to baby sit these brats!" he said. One of the little kids kicked him in the shin.
"Meanie head!" he said, sticking out his tongue. A stress mark appeared on Inuyasha and he began chasing the pest around the area. Maika stuck out a leg and tripped him so that Inuyasha fell straight into a thorn bush. He gave out a yelp and stood up.
"MAIKA! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!" he yelled, taking out a thorn on his sensitive ear. He gave out a louder yelp and rubbed his ear. That had hurt…Shippo laughed.
"Did you have a nice trip?" he asked Inuyasha. Inuyasha growled and bopped Shippo on the head. Kagome picked up Shippo. "Inuyasha be nice!" she told him. Inuyasha said some unpleasant words that caused Kagome to sit him. Kagome and the rest of the gang followed the children into a hut.
"This is where you can stay!" the girl told them.
"Thank you." Sango said, shutting the door in Inuyasha's face. With a loud THUMP he fell to the ground and Kagome opened the door. Not seeing anyone she closed it again and slammed it on Inuyasha's face again. He gave a yelp and Kagome opened the door again, this time looking down.
"Inuyasha get in here!" she told him. Inuyasha stood up and rubbed his nose. They all settled into the beds that were there and soon fell asleep.
The next morning the group woke up. Inuyasha sat up and yawned, showing his fangs. He was about to say something when Kagome shushed him.
"Inuyasha listen." She whispered. Inuyasha listened intently.
"I don't hear anything." He told her. Kagome nodded.
"Exactly. No birds, no wind, nothing." She told him. Inuyasha listened again. Kagome was right! There was no sound at all! Kagome shook the others awake and Sango stood up to see where the children were. She opened the door and gasped.
"Guys! They're missing!" she told the group. Kagome looked behind her. The place was absolutely empty. They all went outside and started looking around. Where had the children gone off to? They looked everywhere. Under rocks, behind trees, in the river, even on the rooftops. But the kids were no where to be found. Kagome sighed and leaned against a tree.
"Where could they have gone off to?" she asked. Inuyasha shrugged. Maika popped out from the bushes.
"Hey guys. I found a mirror." She said. Inuyasha sweat dropped.
"Who cares about a stupid mirror!" he yelled at her. Maika threw a rock at him, knocking him down.
"It's in a hut. It's also full of candles and odd drawings." She told them. Kagome stood up and the others followed her and Maika. They stopped in front of an old dusty hut and walked in. Inside the room was lighted by the candles and Inuyasha smelled something. It smelled a lot like…blood. Maika gave out a scream and they turned to her and the mirror. Inside were the faces of the children, all smirking and their eyes glowing.
"We're heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere." They said, in a voice that really scared the group.
Ok...creepy much? I think that last part is from the movie Signs. Not quite sure. But anyways what the hell is gonna happen to the poor gang! You'll have to see.
