Hello, everyone! Thanks for reviewing and reading! This is the thirteenth chapter of the story! Yoo-hoo! Remember to R+R! On with the chapter! D.N.A
The Demon's Feast
They got up the next morning and left the old shrine starting travel towards their next destination. Inuyasha led the group as always while Kagome pedaled with her backpack in the basket and Shippo perched on Miroku's shoulder. They walked on the dirt path that led outside of the forest. Kaname occasionally glanced at Kagome and Inuyasha and thought of what happened last night. 'They aren't talking to each other. I guess they are still upset from the event last night.'
They continued to walk until Shippo looked further on and saw a village close ahead. "Hey, a village!" he exclaimed excitedly pointing towards the village. "You're right, it is a village." Sango said looking out to see the village. "Why don't we stop at the village? We could get a meal and shop for any necessities we may need for our journey." Kaname suggested reasonably while they all except Inuyasha, who was still moving along, nodded. "Let's go before Inuyasha stops us." Shippo said playfully making everyone ran towards the village. "Hey, what are you doing? Hold it!" he shouted trying to catch up to them.
They entered the village and found the nameplate that says, 'Mizusuki Village' "We finally made it back to civilization!" Shippo said relieved. "It seems we arrived at Mizusuki Village." Miroku said looking at the village's nameplate. They looked around to see a friendly community with houses lined up along the road and people walking around talking to each other. "I wonder if they sell any juice here." Shippo said curiously looking around for a store. "Sango, Kaname, let's go look around and listen to the village gossip." Kagome suggested to the girls. They nodded and started to walk away until Inuyasha shouted, "What? What about us?" She ignored him while Shippo stepped and asked, "Can I come along?" She turned and smiled saying, "Sure, why not." "Yeah!" He jumped onto Kaname's shoulder while they all walked away. Inuyasha grunted angrily and stomped away with Miroku following him.
They walked through the path covered with sakura petals until they met a guy praying in front of a small temple. They walked up to him while Kaname asked, "Excuse me." The guy turned around and asked, "Oh, travelers! Have you've heard the tale of Komusaboru?" "Komusaboru? Who's that?" Shippo asked curious. "Komusaboru is a big ogre demon. Its ugly face bears a sharp horn while the back of its head is long as a carrot. It has grey legs carry him as fast as the wind getting him across a field in 2 seconds. It has big eyes that can see anything even at the darkest hour of night. They say it lives up at the peak of the mountain watching everything including this village. It comes here in this village every month seeking out for children to prepare for his big feast on the midnight's eve." The man told the tale. "You mean it eats children?" Shippo asked scared. "Yes, it does. You should protect your child because tonight is when Komusaboru comes down from the mountain to capture children to eat." He warned the girls before he left them alone.
They stared at the guy until he left their view. "A demon that eats children once a month on a midnight? I've never heard of that." Sango said shaking her head. "If the tale's true, then we should be cautious tonight in case he really does come down the mountain." Kaname said nodding at the seriousness of the situation. "You're right, if he does come, then he'll kidnap Shippo and the other children. We shouldn't let it capture them." Kagome agreed nodding the same. "Maybe, he contains a shard of the Shikon Jewel." Sango said petting Kirara softly. "Right, until then we should shop for anything we need." Kagome suggested making them walk towards the shops.
Inuyasha and Miroku were walking around the village looking around the scenery. Inuyasha was in deep thoughts while Miroku was eyeing some young women near a fragrance shop. They walked past all of that until they walked onto an empty lot near a huge sakura tree. "Inuyasha, what have you've done?" he asked tapping his staff. "What? What do you mean what happened?! You asked like I did something wrong!" he shouted pointing at him furiously. "You did. I just want to know about what happened to Kagome yesterday?" he said still tapping his staff. He grunted and looked away while Miroku waited patiently. "Ok, fine, whatever. Kagome and I went out to find Kaname and found her but with someone else." He explained annoyed. "Who?" Miroku asked curiously. "Kikyo." He answered simply. "Oh." He said and didn't say anything after that.
They all shopped at different stores buying medical supplies, food, and something for themselves while the sun started to set down. Shippo was drinking from his wooden cup of orange juice while the girls were talking about the things they got for themselves. "This dagger will make a great tool incase I need it." Sango said running her finger over the sharp blade. Kaname lifted a heavy tome that was encased in gold and said, "I can't believe that they have an ancient Shikigami spell book in a bookstore." "Isn't that right? What did you have, Kagome?" Sango asked her curious at what she got. "Well, I got this new bow that can help me shoot my arrows higher than it used to be." She replied showing a long bow that had a star charm at the end of it. "Wow." Kaname said amazed looking at the bow. "Anyway, we should and meet the guys." Kagome said making them walk towards the where the others are.
They searched the village until they found Inuyasha and Miroku talking near the huge sakura tree. "Hey, guys!" Kagome called running over there. They turned to see the girls running towards them. "Kagome, did you find anything out?" Inuyasha asked. "Yes, it seems there's a demon named Komusaboru that comes to the village once a month to eat on children. In fact, he's coming down tonight." Kagome explained shortly. "A demon, finally!" he said excitedly. "We think that it maybe that he has a shard of the Shikon Jewel." Sango said petting Kirara a little. "If Komusaboru comes down tonight, we should be prepared incase." Miroku said stopped tapping his staff. Kaname let out a yawn before she said sleepily, "I'm so tired. We should stay at an inn tonight." Kagome also yawned loudly. "Yes, you're right. We should go rest at the inn." Kagome agreed nodding drowsily. They walked to the inn and got a big room for all of them.
While the sky turned from bright orange to dark blue, there was a little group nearby the village that stayed in the open plains near a cliff. Sesshomaru stood at the edge of the cliff looking out at the ocean while hearing its waves crashed into the rocky earth. He occasionally glanced at the bracelet Kaname gave him with a little smile and returned to look at the ocean with his serious face. Near him was little Rin, who was eating a melon she picked from a field nearby, Jaken, he was warming his hands near the fire with his staff leaning against his shoulder, and Ah-Un, who was beside Rin eating grass from the plain. Jaken moaned gratefully as the fire gave his hands much warmth from the bitter cold air the night brewed up. Rin ate half of her melon, the other half she gave to Jaken, and let out a small tiring yawn. "I'm think I'll go to sleep. Good night." She said cutely before she lay on the grass asleep.
Jaken looked at her before he aloud from his thoughts, "I don't why we brought this human girl along with us!" Sesshomaru stopped watching the ocean and started to walk back to the camp. Jaken heard Sesshomaru moved and looked up to him asking worried, "L-Lord Sesshomaru? Is something wrong?" Sesshomaru was silent until he answered simply, "Nothing happened." He went towards a tree and sat down with his Mokomoko behind him. He laid his head on it and fell asleep peacefully. Jaken looked at him weirdly until he let out a loud yawn and fell asleep with Ah-Un laying their head down asleep also.
After everyone in village and outside of the village is asleep, a huge gray ogre jumped from the mountain peak and landed on the ground softly. It stood up on its two feet and looked around while saying, "Hmmm. Finally, the time has arrived. It's been so long since I had a decent meal lately. Now to collect the ingredients, of course, first, the Lord of the West Sesshomaru has a little human girl with him now. Maybe, I'll swipe her out under his nose and take the kids from this village, too." Komusaboru laughed evilly until he ran off faster than the wind.
He ran towards the camp where Sesshomaru and his gang was and silently sneaked towards it when he got closer. He spotted Rin and started to lick his lips while slipped next to her. He slowly and gently lifted her up while masking his scent with what's all around him. He sneaked out exiting the camp and when he wasn't near the camp, he ran with Rin like that's no tomorrow. He dashed towards a huge box that seemed to be like a cage and quietly put her in. "Now, for the children in the village." He said evilly grinning sprinting off towards Mizusuki Village.
Once he entered the village, he began to walk towards the very first house on his left until his foot hit something sharp. He looked down to see chicken wire covering around the house with some mouse traps and a bear trap. He sweatdropped and angrily exclaimed not waking anyone, "What the hell do they think I am, a raccoon!?" He shook his head angrily at their stupidity before he went off to sneak inside and continue his kidnapping at each and every house. After he stole every child in the village he knew of, he started to walk past the houses and shops that were empty. He quickly remembered something and said, "Oh, that's right, that mutt, Inuyasha, Sesshomaru's brother, is here in this village, too. And he brought a small fox child with him, hmmm." He turned to the inn and decided to sneak in. Once he entered in, he saw Shippo sleeping next to Kaname. "So, this is the child. It'll have to do, then. Now, time to prepare the feast!" he silently cheered grabbing Shippo slowly and disappeared from the village carrying the small kitsune.
Inuyasha snored with Miroku spreading out with his blanket still covering him. Sango was sleeping turned over to her right, Kagome slept on her left side snoring lightly, and Kaname laid on her back sleeping comfortably. Kaname shook her head slightly with sweat covering her brow as she muttered, "What are you doing? You can't do you that? Leave him alone!" She sat up quickly breathing heavily while she looked around. "Oh, it's just a dream." She whispered to herself relieved. "I'm sorry if I woke you, Shippo…" she stopped in mid-sentence of her apology when she turned to look at Shippo. Except for he wasn't there. "Shippo?" she called out quietly looking around. She looked and gasped to see a pair of muddy, pointy feet. 'Oh, no! Shippo has been kidnapped by Komusaboru! Every child is kidnapped, I better wake the others.'
She stood up and crept up to the sleeping Inuyasha. She bent down and whispered to his ears softly, "Inuyasha, wake up." His ears twitched a little before he slowly sat up drowsily and turned towards her slowly. "K-Kaname, what is it?" he asked letting out a yawn indicating that he's still tired. "Inuyasha, Shippo is gone. I think Komusaboru has come and kidnapped him." She whispered explaining the situation to him. His sleepy face disappeared into an angry face while he shouted stomping up, "What?!"
Everyone in the room jumped up from fright including Kirara and looked up sleepily to see an angry Inuyasha. "Inuyasha, can't you quiet down a little?" Kagome asked rubbing her eyes tired. "No! Get up, now!" he ordered snatching Miroku's blanket and ripped it away from him. "W-Why should we get up anyway? It's only 10:38!" Miroku asked pointing towards the open window showing the black sky. "Because Shippo has been kidnapped because of Komusaboru!" he shouted whacking the tired monk with his pillow. Sango sat up asking worried, "What, Shippo is gone?" "Yes, Komusaboru has kidnapped him!" he answered loudly like yelling. "We got to go now!" Instead of waiting patiently, he grabbed everyone out of bed and ran out of the village following Komusaboru's scent.
Shippo was soundly asleep until he heard some moans and cries from nearby. He woke up to see thousands of kids crying and sobbing in a big mysterious room. He sat up and sleepily rubbed his eyes tired. "Where am I? Inuyasha? Kaname?" he called out searching for his friends around. He found no one he knew there. "What is this?" he said to himself searching for an answer. He heard a little snivel nearby and saw a small boy in a dark blue hakamas crying in the dark corner. He walked over and asked worried, "Are you okay?"
The little boy sobbed sadly before he answered harshly, "No! I'm not okay!" "Why, do you know where we are?" he asked curious to know. "Don't you get it? We're going to be beaten by an ogre demon when it strikes 12! And you're saying that's okay!" another boy shouted angrily with the other children nodding. "No, I mean…" he started to explain. "No, don't say it. It's not like we ever been this before. We're all going crazy from being scared. Sorry." Another boy said before he bowed and walked towards the other corner. Everyone started to cry again while he was left alone to deal with the situation. He started to walk around the room until he saw a familiar yellow and orange-checkered kimono. He turned to see Rin sitting and leaning against the wall. "Rin!" he exclaimed happy to see a familiar face. She turned her head to see the kitsune running towards her happily. "Shippo!" she called out waving relieved.
He stopped in front of her while he asked, "What's going on? What are you doing here?" She shook her head slowly before she replied quietly, "I have no idea. Everyone else I talked to seems to talk about a demon called Komusaboru going to eat us when it's midnight. I was with Lord Sesshomaru before I woke up to see I'm in this place." "I see. A villager told us about an ogre named Komusaboru too. We got to get out of here before it's too late." He said running towards a door and tried to pry it open. "It won't work." He grunted annoyed after unsuccessfully tried to pry the door open. "What should we do?" Rin asked worriedly. "I know! I'll get some help from Inuyasha and the others!" he exclaimed realizing the plan. "Really? How?" she asked curious to know. "Easy." He said letting out a little grin.
Outside of the village, Inuyasha was on all fours trying to sniff out Komusaboru's scent. "Can't you smell him, Inuyasha?" Miroku asked watching Inuyasha use his nose. "I can smell him, but it only appears to be in this spot and that's it." He replied simply sniffing the scent again. "So, how are we supposed to find Komusaboru?" Sango questioned puzzled. "We need to find a way to track him down." Kagome said holding her new bow and her arrows. "Wait! Didn't that villager say that Komusaboru lives on the mountain's peak?" Kaname said reminding them of the tale. "You're right!" Sango said nodding. "Okay! Let's go to the peak, then!" Inuyasha exclaimed eager to climb the mountain. "Wait, Inuyasha! As soon as we climbed the mountain, there would a huge maze that would lead us to the wrong direction of Komusaboru's house." Miroku told him warning him. "Shoot!" Inuyasha cursed irritated.
Nearby on a fallen log, a small red mushroom grew on top of the log and started to wail while looking around with its big eyes. "What?" Kaname said confused. They looked to see the wailing mushroom while Kagome exclaimed, "Look! It's Shippo's mushrooms!" "Great! They could lead us to where he is!" Sango said having Kirara on her shoulder. "Let's go!" Inuyasha ordered running towards the path leaded by bawling mushrooms with the others following behind him. They dashed up the steep path of the mountain trying not to fall or slip off. New mushrooms appeared every 5 feet bawling leading them to where Shippo is. They ran around the corner and went into the huge maze Miroku was talking about.
Shippo was with Rin while the children around him were upset by the situation. "They're coming to save us!" Shippo exclaimed happily hearing the mushrooms' wail nearby. "Great!" Rin exclaimed too happy and calmed. The door suddenly slid opened to reveal Komusaboru standing there staring at the children eerily. The children screamed terrified from the sudden entrance and the demon that's about to eat them. His eyes rolled around the room searching for something in the room. His wandering eyes searched around until they landed on the kitsune and Rin. "You there!" his deep voice called out pointing its long ugly finger at them. "Come with me!" Shippo didn't move a muscle and Rin let out a small scared gasp. "I said come here!" he ordered commandingly again motioning them to come. They stayed put not wanting to go with him.
"Fine, then!" he bellowed disappearing into the air before he reappeared in front of them. Shippo let out a surprised yell and Rin screamed scared before he picked them up with his one huge hand. He walked towards the door with the petrified children edging towards the walls. He walked out of the room and went into a big room that looked like a kitchen. In the middle of the room was a big black cauldron that had green ooze boiling out of the top. The fire heated the cauldron making it buzzed uncontrollably so often. The children struggled under his vice grip until he threw them into a nearby cage. Shippo got up and ran towards the door before Komusaboru slammed the barred door in his face. "What do you want?!" he yelled angrily at the ogre. He ignored him and continued to walk away towards the cauldron stirring it with a gigantic wooden spoon. Shippo grabbed the bars and stared at the cauldron with Rin stayed in the corner scared to come out. 'Inuyasha…everyone, please save us.' He thought inside of his head.
"Hurry up! Or we'll be too late!" Inuyasha shouted impatiently jumped over rocky gravel. Everyone couldn't catch up to him except Miroku. "Slow down, Inuyasha, we'll lose you if you keep at it!" Kagome shouted tiredly to him while trying to follow him.Inuyasha jumped onto a large boulder and yelled to the others, "Hey, guys! I found his mansion!" They climbed up to the top and saw the manor sitting there with smoke coming out of the chimney and the lights are lit inside the house.
They were all tired from running and we're panting hardly. "Hey, what's wrong with you guys?" he asked puzzled by their panting. "We're tired from the climbing and all out of energy." Kagome explained sitting down catching her breath. "You got to be kidding?!" Inuyasha yelled towering over her. "Calm down, we climbed all this way; we should get a rest before we continue." Sango assured him calmly. "At least, we made it to his mansion before midnight." Kaname said nodding while breathing slowly. "Yes, Komusaboru might be preparing for his feast, so we got time." Miroku said leaning against his staff. "Whatever! I'm going ahead." Inuyasha said irritated before jumping off the boulder and sprinting towards the mansion. "He's got no patience." Miroku said shaking his head while smiling. "Yeah." Kaname agreed nodding smiling also.
Shippo was trying to escape, but wasn't successful. Rin was sitting down calming her nerves and relaxing thinking that either Sesshomaru or Kaname is coming to get her. "It won't work!" Shippo said annoyed by his other plan failed like the last one. He tried to scratch the wood with his claws, but only made small noises instead of marks. He sighed in defeat and leaned his head against the wall. "Don't worry, Shippo. Big Sister is going to find us and save us from being eaten. I'm sure of it." She assured him while smiling at him. "You're right." He said with a little hope looking down at the floor.
He heard big footsteps before he looked up to see Komusaboru looking at them hungrily. "Now, it's time for the main ingredients for my special dish, Kodomo Soup!" he said excitedly slamming the door opened. Shippo backed up quickly while Komusaboru tried to grab him. When Shippo jumped up dodging his grabbing hand, the other hand shot towards him and snatched him. He grabbed Rin and they were both struggling out of the ogre's grip. "Let us go!" Shippo yelled furiously struggling out of the grip. Rin struggled out of his grip while she was thinking quickly in her thoughts, 'Lord Sesshomaru! Big Sister! Please save us!' After that, Rin fainted from the tension of the grasp. Shippo looked ahead to see they were heading towards the big cauldron. He struggled again to get away, but can't. As soon as they were in front of the cauldron, Komusaboru started to lift the children up. 'This is it! They'll be too late!' Shippo yelled in his mind.
Before they were lifted towards the rim, Inuyasha busted in through the door wielding his Tetsusaiga. He jumped in the air and snatched them both out of his hands. He landed on the ground softly and set them on the ground. "What took you so long?!" Shippo shouted at him. "Shut up! I came didn't I?" Inuyasha yelled back standing up. "I almost got cooked if you didn't show up, you know!" Shippo argued pointing at him. "So? You should be thankful that I came anyway!" Inuyasha argued back swinging his sword over his shoulder.
Miroku and Sango dashed inside with Kaname and Kagome behind them. They looked to see Inuyasha with a fine Shippo and a fainted Rin. "Inuyasha!" Kagome called out. He turned towards them and asked irritated, "What took you so long?" "Sorry, we had trouble on the way here." Kaname apologized shyly rubbing the back of her head. "That doesn't matter now. Let's take care of this demon." Sango said seriously looking at a shocked Komusaboru. "Right!" Kagome chimed in agreeing.
"Let's do it! Wind Scar!" Inuyasha cried out slamming his sword down. The attack hit Komusaboru forcefully making him staggered back and cried out in pain. "You little pest! I'll kill you!" Komusaboru yelled angrily disappearing before reappearing in front of Inuyasha. "What?" Inuyasha said surprised. Komusaboru smashed his fist against his face throwing him against the wall. "Inuyasha!" Kagome exclaimed worried. She heard a loud sound and turned to see two shards of the Shikon Jewel rooted in Komusaboru's long legs. "Inuyasha, the shards are in his legs!" she yelled out to him. "Good!" he said standing up from the ground. "Still got strength, eh? I'll fix that." Komusaboru said grinning evilly raising his hand again.
"Hiraitoksu!" Sango cried out throwing her boomerang towards the demon. It hit him across his stomach and ricocheted back to Sango. Komusaboru grabbed his stomach in pain wincing while shouting furiously, "You wench!" His hand shot towards Sango, who stood there glued, until Miroku ran in front of Sango with his staff deflecting the hand. "This battle is going on too long." Miroku said throwing the hand off of his staff. Kaname was with Kagome, who was bandaging Inuyasha's wounds on his face, and said, "I agree. This has gone too long." She looked at Shippo, who was besides her watching the battle, and asked, "Ready, Shippo?" "Ready!" he replied enthusiastically.
She clasped her hands together and started to chant silently in her mind. A blue aura formed around her while she created a red energy ball and threw it towards the sky. The ball quickly changed into a dragon and went towards Shippo roaring its cry. "I'll handle this!" he said boldly jumping in the air towards Komusaboru. The dragon engulfed Shippo making him charged towards the unsuspecting ogre demon surrounding in a powerful blue aura. Shippo sunk his teeth into Komusaboru inflicting the deadly aura inside the demon. Komusaboru screamed out in pain and agony feeling the Shikigami destroying everything inside of him. Shippo jumped off of him watching it crumbled to his knees crying out before turning into a pile of ashes. Inuyasha walked up to it with the others trailing him and picked up the two shards saying victoriously, "I'll take this with us."
After that battle, Inuyasha and the others saved the extremely grateful children and carefully carried them down the mountain and back to their homes. When they returned to the village, they were greeted by the happy, cheerful villagers that heard Komusaboru's last cry all the way to the village. The children returned to their parents hugging them while everyone thanked the gang and decided to have a feast to celebrate. The villagers cooked delicious dishes while they were all seated at an elegant table. Inuyasha ate the food extremely hungry like he hasn't eaten for 4 days while everyone else ate slowly enjoying the scrumptious food.
The happy village decided to celebrate this event while Kaname had some important things to do. She walked out of the village carrying the still unconscious Rin in her arms. She walked slowly until Rin woke up slowly to see Kaname. "Big Sister!" she exclaimed gleefully hugging her tightly. "I knew you've come to save me!" "Thanks, Rin. Komusaboru is no more, but now we need to find where Jaken or Sesshomaru is." She said hugging the happy-go-lucky girl back. Rin hopped down and said adorability, "I know! They're this way." She ran off with her arms spread out while Kaname trailed after her.
They ran towards the forest that leads to the plains until they both saw Sesshomaru near the forest. "Lord Sesshomaru." Rin called out running towards him happy. He turned to see Rin running towards him and Kaname walking up towards him. Rin stopped in front of him while Kaname stood behind her. "Lord Sesshomaru, Big Sister helped me to escape." She told him smiling big. "I see." Sesshomaru said calmly looking at Kaname. "It's nothing." Kaname said shyly. The moment stood still until he said suddenly, "Rin." "Yes?" she replied still smiling. "Go to Jaken and Ah-Un." He said. "Okay, see you later, Big Sister!" she said waving goodbye before running towards the camp.
They stood still after Rin left the scene while Kaname looked around bashfully and Sesshomaru kept staring at her coolly. "You must be really powerful taking an ogre demon down like that." Sesshomaru said turning towards her. "No, I don't think I'm that powerful yet. And besides, I have everyone's help during that fight." She replied rubbing the back of her head. "No, you're not powerful." He said unexpectedly. She stopped and felt her confidence starting to break. "You are powerful." He said smiling at her. She froze while she felt her head heat up inside and let out a small blush. "Really?" she asked embarrassed. "Really." He answered quietly. Her face felt like it was on fire and she was blushing redder. He smiled at her while she lowered her hand to her side.
"Kaname!" Kagome called out from the village. "Oh! I better get back to the others." Kaname said looking towards where Kagome called from. "Yes, you should." He said nodding at her suggestion. She nodded before she turned and started to leave. "Kaname." He called out lowly. "What is it?" she asked curious to know what he wants. She turned around slowly and she found Sesshomaru closing the space between her and him. He kissed her lovingly while her eyes widened big. He wrapped his arms around her while she kissed back and wrapped her arms around his neck. They stayed like that until they broke the kiss still hugging each other. "Remember, if you ever need me, call me and I'll be there for you." He whispered slowly fingering the bell around her neck. "I will." She whispered back smiling big. They broke the hug before he looked at her for the last time and walked off into the darkness. She waved goodbye while watching him leave into the forest. She sighed big while touching her lips simultaneously.
"That was so romantic!" Kagome exclaimed excitedly. "Huh?" Kaname looked around puzzled until she found some bushes moved and shifted by themselves. "Kagome, you're going to get us caught!" Sango warned whispering quietly while Kaname walked over silently to where they are at. "Sorry, I'm so excited in these situations." She apologize whispering back. Kaname pulled the bush apart to see a shocked Sango and a surprised Kagome kneeling behind the bush caught. "What are you two doing here?" Kaname asked suspiciously eyeing them closely. "W-What? Us? Oh, we are talking a walk outside, right, Sango?" Kagome stuttered nervously turning to Sango. "Yes, we are taking a casual stroll." Sango agreed uneasily. "Really?" Kaname questioned still suspicious. "Yes!" Kagome exclaimed nodding with Sango.
"You know, you two are bad liars." Kaname said walking away from the bush slowly. "Wait! Kaname, we're sorry!" Kagome called out sadly running after her. They both felt really bad that they spied on their best friend's privacy without their permission. "We're sorry, we didn't mean to spy on you and Sesshomaru." She started to apologized. "Yes, we went outside of the village, looking for you, but couldn't find you. When we did, we found you and Sesshomaru doing your personal business and thought we should stick by if he does anything to hurt you or something worse." Sango explained bowing her head.
"Is that true?" Kaname asked in disbelief. They both nodded slowly looking away from her embarrassed. "Yes, can you forgive us?" Kagome asked hopefully. "Well…it was really nice with you two being protective of me and I appreciate it, but…you shouldn't lie like that anyways." She started to say calmly. "We know we hurt you by disturbing your privacy and we're sorry for that and the lies." Kagome said rubbing her arm. "We're sorry." They both apologized bowing their heads.
"I forgive if you two don't tell Inuyasha and Miroku until the right moment comes." Kaname accepted their apology. "Why don't you want to tell Inuyasha and Miroku?" Sango asked curious. "Well, Inuyasha would be really protective of me and ask questions if I told him. And I don't know what Miroku would do, so I think it's okay not to tell him as well." She explained reasonably. "Sounds good." Sango agreed nodding. "Anyway, we should head back to the village before Inuyasha comes to find us." Kagome suggested before they headed towards the village.
While Sango walked ahead, Kagome and Kaname both trailed behind slowly. "Kaname." Kagome said sudden. "Yes?" she asked curious. Kagome took out Kaname's cell phone and flipped it open pressing a button. "Look!" she said pointing at the screen. She looked to see a picture of her and Sesshomaru kissing as the background of her phone. "What?! You took a picture?!" "I couldn't help it. I don't have that much self-control." Kagome said blushing embarrassedly while holding the cell. "Well, at least it's on my cell, so its okay." She said taking her cell looking at the picture. "Great! We should catch up with Sango." She said before running off to catch up. "Right!" she agreed pocketing her cell before dashing after them.
