The Other Side

Chapter 8

New Transportation

Inuyasha's group was following Sesshomaru's in a slower manner since Kagome said she wanted nothing to do with him and chose to hang back. Miroku and Sango were in the middle, feeling odd to be as close to Lord Sesshomaru as they were. Both of them would very much rather be in the back, with Kagome and Inuyasha.

"So how long will it take to get to the West?" Shippo asked innocently-totally not afraid. He was sitting on Kagome's shoulder, taking in her warmth and gentle aura, calming him down a bit. He always felt safer around her.

"Keh, days."

Kagome pondered on something. "We just saw Sesshomaru yesterday. If he already got orders from whoever the hell InuKimi is, and managed to get back here in a day; why will it take us days to get there?"

Inuyasha stared then said, "Um... cause most of our group is human?"

"We have Kilala," she pointed out.

"That's true. I can't fly though," he said, rubbing the back of his neck. She raised an eyebrow to him. "Don't give me that look!"

"What does flying have to do with anything?"

"Sesshomaru can fly, as can Kilala. Three people can be on Kilala at once or four if you count Shippo. That still leaves one person without transport," he explained as his team gave him a look that questioned him as a person.

"Your part demon though; you should be able to run fast enough right?" Kagome had to giggle at his logic; she couldn't help it, especially when he looked away with a blush.

"Yeah, that's the problem though! I'm only half! I don't have half the speed as Sesshomaru does so I'd be left in the dust."

"So, what you're saying is that we need another means of transportation?"

Sango shook her head while trying to cover up her laughter. Miroku continued to focus on the road ahead, although, he was grinning.

"Finally you get it, god!" He threw his arms in the air in annoyance, stomping his way closer to Miroku, who chuckled at him. He glared at him, daring him to say something.

Kagome stared at their backs before feeling her powers; they practically told her that she had that ability. She didn't believe that, so when she yelped-making her group quickly turn to her, they gaped at her.

Sesshomaru had felt a demonic aura behind him. It was weird though since there hadn't been a demon for miles from them. He slowly turned around to come face to nose with a black dog, no taller than himself. He heard Rin squeal before she took off, flinging herself to the black mass.

"Oh my, it's so cute!" she was saying as the dog stared down to her then back up to Sesshomaru.

"Holy... hell, Kagome?!" Inuyasha said, his jaw was dropped, eyes widened at the sight before him. No way! Sango and Miroku looked at Inuyasha like he was crazy then took note that Kagome was in fact not with them. In her place was a dog. The dog yelped at Inuyasha, who once again had to hold in his laughter. Oh this is just too good! he thought. The dog both confirmed that it was Kagome and cried why it was always her.

"Well, there's your means of transport," Miroku commented, biting his lip to hold in a grin. Inuyasha lost it at that point.

"Keep moving," Sesshomaru ordered; the group forgetting he was there but listened for the time being. With that, he walked off, silently thinking how it was possible for a human to be able to speak both inu and be able to transform into a dog themselves. He could still sense the she was still human or at the very least half but in order to transform; one would have to be full. What was going on?

Kagome growled at Inuyasha, watching his necklace light up. Once he met the ground, she trotted after the group. If a dog could laugh, she was doing so. It took seconds for her to realize what she was and inwardly smiled. She guessed her powers felt the need to prove her wrong when she didn't believe them.
