Returning Back To Kaede's
After the whole event with Komori and his cult, they were returning to Kaede's village by traveling through the thick, dense forest that settled right outside of Kaede's Village. Kaname, Miroku, and Sango were riding Kirara above the treetops and Inuyasha was carrying Kagome on his back and her bicycle with Shippo in her bicycle basket. Kaname viewed the passing trees slowly thinking about Sesshomaru while Sango petted Kirara's white fur and Miroku holding his staff looking ahead of them. She continued to think some more until she saw the small village up ahead and exclaimed cheerfully pointing, "Look! There's Kaede's Village!"
Sango looked ahead over her pet's head and saw the village up ahead like she said. "Yes, it's ahead." She replied seeing the village ahead of them. Miroku looked over and viewed at the treetops that were flying underneath them looking for something. "Wait a minute. Where's Inuyasha, Kagome, and Shippo?" he questioned puzzled. "What do you mean?" Sango asked curiously glancing over her shoulder at him confused. "I mean, I don't see them from the trees anymore." He answered kept searching for his missing comrades. Kaname looked over and searched through the forest as she spoke, "He's right. I don't see them either." Miroku sat back up and told Sango, "We should turn around and find them before a demon comes." She nodded agreeing with him and said, "Got it. Kirara, let's go back."
Kirara slowed down in her flying and turned around heading back the same way they came. They explored above the treetops looking for their missing friends until Kaname spotted Kagome's pink bike and called out pointing to their location, "There they are!" They followed her direction and saw Kagome's bike lying in the dirt while Sango said to Kirara, "Kirara, let's stop here." The big demon cat descended down from the sky and landed softly on the ground. They jumped off Kirara and saw Kagome angrily facing the unconscious Inuyasha lying in a crater beside her fallen bicycle. Kirara turned back to her small kitten form and jumped into Sango's arms comfortably. "Uh, Kagome?" Kaname questioned confused as well as the rest of the gang.
"I can't believe you, Inuyasha! You're such a heartless jerk!" Kagome yelled furiously at the knocked out Inuyasha. She stomped away passing through the puzzled gang and headed straight to Kaede's Village. They looked even more perplexed at her leaving form as Shippo lifted his head from the basket slowly and asked frightened, "I-Is it o-over yet?" They spun their heads to see Shippo while Kaname walked over and replied, "Yes, what happened, Shippo?" He jumped out of the basket and onto her arm, which she held out before her. "It was really scary. While we were traveling through the forest, Inuyasha kept bothering her with questions about her personal life in her time, and then Kagome got mad at him. She said that he was trying to interfere with her life and then, we stopped and they began to fight…again." He explained thoroughly pointing to Inuyasha's worn out body.
"I see." She sighed while the monk and the demonslayer behind her also sighed as well. "They'll never stop." Sango said shaking her head slowly. "Kagome may need a little time to calm down before she speaks to him again. We should catch up with her and head to Kaede's Village before sundown." Miroku suggested wisely. "Kaname! Sango! Come on! Leave that dead beat alone!" Kagome's angry voice called out through the deep forest. "Coming!" Kaname called back. Sango turned to Miroku and told him, "You go help carry Inuyasha back to the village while we try to calm Kagome down a bit." He nodded understandingly before the girls ran off leaving Miroku to deal with Inuyasha and the bike alone.
They caught up to the steaming Kagome, who was waiting for them, and walked along with her as they felt her anger radiating through her body. "Kagome, what did Inuyasha do to make you angry again?" Sango asked caringly walking on her left side. "He's a nosey jerk! He wants to know: whom I go out with, where I go, and am I flirting with anyone? He just kept bugging and bothering me about this and I can't stand it!" Kagome explained screaming a little at the end stressed out. "Yeah, but you know him, he always get jealously if you go out with someone else. Remember, when we always encounter Koga, they always fight whenever he sweet-talks you." Kaname mentioned reminding her of some certain events.
"I guess." Kagome said feeling less angry towards the half-dog demon. "Remember the time after Koga kidnapped you, you protected him from his attack and after that he got extremely jealous that you went to your own time leaving him back in the village." Sango mentioned another event walking with Kirara in her arms. "Well…" Kagome trailed off remembering the little incident. Shippo jumped on Kaname's shoulder and spoke, "And don't forget! The time when Miroku was flirting with you and Inuyasha threatened him because he was really jealous of him." She hung her head down when she was easily reminded by all the events as they stopped in front of Kaede's Villages gate.
"Here, we are." Kaname said looking up at the gate smiling happy to be back. "I'm going to Kaede's house and rest for a while." Kagome drawled out tiredly. She staggered into the village leaving them alone feeling guilty until Miroku ran out carrying the unconscious Inuyasha on one shoulder and the bike in his hand. "We're back!" he called out coming towards them. They look to see Miroku carrying Inuyasha and her bike. "Welcome back." Sango said to him while he walked up to them casually. Shippo jumped off Kaname's arm and onto Miroku's shoulder. "Is she still?" he asked pointing to Kagome's retreating figure. "Yes, but she's really tired now. So, she's going to rest at Kaede's." Sango explained to him. "I see." He mumbled thinking silently. "But now, we should get Inuyasha to Kaede's so he could heal up." She changed the subject and began to walk up to the village with Miroku and Shippo noticing Kaname wasn't following.
Miroku and Sango walked into the village carrying the unconscious Inuyasha while Shippo jumped off his shoulder and dashed towards the Shikigami Master. "Hey, Kaname, how about we take a walk around the woods like old times?" he suggested to her. She flashed him a small smile and replied, "Sounds good. Let's get going." They strolled towards the woods for a long, leisurely walk. They came up onto a cliff that overlooked a big lake as they both looked up at the wide, open sky. "Wow, it's sure beautiful." Kaname spoke awed by the scenery. "Yeah. Hey, there's the same four-tailed kite before!" Shippo pointed up to the familiar four-tailed kite flying in the sky. She spotted the kite with Shippo's help and said, "It sure is. The same kite from before." Shippo glanced at her from the corner of his eye and spoke shyly, "Say, Kaname?"
She spun her head to him and asked nicely, "Yes, Shippo?" "How about I take you up to the sky just like last time?" he asked looking at her. She thought for a while until she answered with a smile, "Sure." "Great! Transform!" he hopped in the air and transformed into his big pink balloon form. He slowly floated beside the cliff letting her on while she carefully got on. After she sat on his head, he started to fly away carrying the young Shikigami Master away with him. They flew across the blue sky viewing the small forest with the tiny lake beside it from their view. She was having the life watching the forest pass them underneath them as Shippo just concentrated on flying and making sure she doesn't fall off.
They were up high above from the ground as Kaname saw the four-tailed kite gliding across from them. "Wow. We're up so high." She commented looking awed at the kite. She looked over and saw Shippo's red face sweating and exhausted from all of the work he was doing. "Are you okay? You don't look good." She asked concerned for her small kitsune friend. "I-I'm fine. Never better!" he replied gleefully. She nodded slowly to him before she lifted her head again and saw a strange thing moving among the clouds.
There among the clouds was a huge, long, mysterious purple cloud squirming strangely like someone is inside it. "Hey, Shippo? What is that?" She asked the kitsune puzzled. The kitsune searched for the thing she was talking about and found the wriggling purple cloud. He started to act nervous and scared while he replied, "I-It's a demon cloud!" "What!" She saw the cloud coming towards them in a fast pace from their spot. "What should we do!" Shippo questioned frightened of the situation. "We should get out of here." She petted the pink balloon's side gently calming him down a little. "Good idea."
Before they even start to move away from the purple demon cloud, it reacted quickly and rushed towards them while the multiple demons were screaming, yelling, and crying out. "It's too late!" Shippo cried out terrified. The demon cloud dashed and stampeded through them slowly knocking Kaname off of Shippo's head forcefully. She shielded herself from their attacks as she dropped to the forest escaping from the demons' stampede.
When the demon cloud passed through them and headed onwards, Shippo was covering his eyes with his yellow paper-like hands afraid and slowly peeked to see that it was gone. He let out a relieved sigh and spoke, "Wow, that really scared us. Don't you think so, Kaname?" He didn't hear anything and glanced up to see that his friend wasn't on his head anymore. He began to freak nervously searching the blue sky for his missing friend until he couldn't find her and cried out fearfully, "Oh no! Kaname's gone!"
She avoided the thorny branches and tall trees while she fell and caught one of the branches holding on from falling to her death. She dropped to her feet after letting go of the branch and gazed up at the sky to see the pink balloon fretfully flew by her heading back to the village. "There he goes." She said seeing him fly away above the treetops. "I better follow him so I won't get lost." She sprinted through the forest following the pink balloon's retreating form until she came to a dead end at the cliff and he disappeared from her sight. "Great. I better find another way to the village." She said to herself before she darted back into the forest again.
After 6 minutes of searching endlessly for the road back to Kaede's Village, she ended up at a clearing where she was panting heavily exhausted from the running she did in the forest. She gently rested on a rock while she slowly gained back her lost energy. "This is hard. I can't find a way back to the others without hitting a dead end." While she thought to herself of what she should do, the hot sun was beating down on her making her sweat and pant a little. "It's too hot. Better find some shade." She stood up from her spot and found a nice shade under a huge oak tree. She strolled towards it and sat under it leaning on its cool, relaxing trunk.
She relaxed against the medium-sized tree trunk until she felt something rush past her and a familiar presence that she knew. "So, you've came." She whispered knowing the presence sitting on the other side of the trunk. "Yes, I did…for you." Sesshomaru whispered back leaning against the trunk with his fuzzy, soft Mokomoko. Without looking, he searched for her hand with his hand and found it tenderly holding her hand with her smiling at the feel. She got a warm smile on her face while she felt him caressing her hand soothingly. She felt him move again as he appeared behind her with him leaning against the trunk and her leaning on his chest. He held her closely to him while she blushed feeling so hot and redder than a tomato. "Where are your friends?" he asked soothing her relaxingly. "Well…it's a long story…" she started to tell him about the whole story of her day.
Meanwhile back at Kaede's Village, Inuyasha was sitting on Kaede's porch conscious and full-rested watching the villagers work from the veranda. He continued to watch as Kagome slowly stepped out from the house awkwardly. She walked up slowly and sat beside him while he looked away feeling uncomfortable. "Inuyasha…." She whispered trying to look into his eyes, but he had his head turned. He was so silent, which made her feel guilty until he spoke, "Kagome…I'm sorry for bugging you about your life back in the 'present'." She looked a little surprised at his maturity as she said, "Well…I'm also sorry too, Inuyasha." They were quiet for a while until she asked uneasily, "Say, Inuyasha, do you think we can forget that little incident has ever happened and continue on again?"
He nodded to her agreeing along, "Sure." She flashed a small smile at him finally getting through him as the small fretting kitsune ran up to the two friends. "Inuyasha! Kagome! Something terrible has happened!" he cried out scared for his friend's life. They turned their attention to the worrying Shippo. "What's wrong, Shippo?" Kagome asked wondering what's wrong. "Kaname is gone!" he answered crying out. "What!" Inuyasha exclaimed sounding concerned standing up from the veranda. "What happened?" Kagome asked wanting to know the story. "Well…you see, me and Kaname decided to spend the day together by flying around. We were flying in the air enjoying ourselves until we spotted a huge demon cloud approaching us. Then, it stampeded through us and when they were gone, she was gone! I searched for her, but I couldn't find her." He told the story to the listening duo until a mad Inuyasha knocked him out with a huge lump on his head.
"What! You lost Kaname and you don't know where she is!" he yelled angrily at the knocked out kitsune. He started to walk away until Kagome stood up and called out, "Inuyasha, where are you going?" He halted and turned to her replying, "I'm going to find Kaname. She must be around here somewhere." He was about to move until she spoke softly, "But…what about us?" "Who cares! Kaname's gone. She might be hurt or in danger, you know that." With that, he ran off into the forest leaving the shocked priestess and the unconscious kitsune alone. After she overcame shock, she looked hurt and angry while she whispered to no one, "Who cares about our relationship? I care, Inuyasha…that jerk."
Back at the forest, Kaname and Sesshomaru were spending time each other as they were strolling through the forest enjoying the peace and the scenery. They stopped at a river, where they cooled down and unwind from their day. She viewed the clear river while he searched around for a trace of a noisy demon that was lurking around. When he was done searching, he walked up to her getting her attention from the river. She looked up at him to see him looking down at her while she blushed a little at the awkward moment. She froze suddenly when she felt him put his arms around her comfortingly while she slowly embraced him back gently.
They enjoyed the moment for a while with each other until they broke off the embrace pulling away from each other. "Kaname…" he started to say breaking the silence. "Yes, Sesshomaru?" she questioned curious to know what he want. He took her into his arms and kissed her with passion on her lips making her shocked until she calmed down and kissed him back lightly. He slowly stroked the back of her head softly making her moan in pleasure while she repaid him back by massaging his back soothingly making him moan also. "Kaname!" they heard Inuyasha called out worriedly. They broke off the kiss and stood there in each other's arms surprised while he growled at his brother's sudden interference, "I see my half-brother has disturbed us again…"
She smiled at his childish behavior while she spoke nicely, "I better go and find Inuyasha before he finds us hugging each other." He nodded understandingly before they pulled away not wanting to and she went back into the forest searching for her half-demon friend leaving him alone once again. He watched her leave the clearing as he muttered to himself quietly, "One of these days, Kaname. I'll will come for you and take you with me, so Naraku or anyone will get you again." He disappeared in a flash of light leaving the peaceful scene alone.
Inuyasha was running through the forest looking for his comrade troubled while he jumped into a clearing sniffing for a trace of her. "Inuyasha!" he heard her voice call him out. He turned his head to see her running up to him from the rest of the forest. "Kaname! Are you hurt? Were you in danger?" he questioned her concerned. This made Kaname giggled a little before she replied kindly, "I'm fine, Inuyasha. Thanks for looking for me." He nodded to her before he suggested to her, "Let's get back to Kaede's Village before sundown." She nodded back to him and they made their way off through the forest again.
They went inside the lively village and headed straight to Kaede's house to see the others standing around the porch waiting for them. "Hi, everyone! We're back!" she called out happily. Shippo was relieved at seeing the Shikigami Master again as he ran up and jumped onto her shoulder. "Kaname, you're back!" he cheerfully exclaimed happy to see her again. Miroku and Sango walked up to them and looked at Inuyasha weirdly while Inuyasha saw them staring at him and questioned rudely, "What are you staring at?" Sango sighed at his rude attitude, "What did you do this time, Inuyasha?" He asked confused at her sudden question, "What do you mean?" Miroku stepped up to the mystified half-demon and explained her question to him, "She means what did you do to Kagome this time?"
"What are you talking about? I didn't do anything to her!" he looked away hating to be accused of everything. "If you're sure, then why did she go back to her own 'time' then?" Sango questioned him knowing the answer to the question. That caught his attention as well as the others'. "What?" they all said puzzled. "Why did she go back?" he inquired Miroku knowing the monk knew the answer. "She's mad at you for saying that your relationship with her didn't matter anymore." He answered tapping his staff patiently into the ground. He looked taken back at the reply, "Wait a minute! I didn't say anything like that!" Sango butted in the conversation; "She said you did when you were about to search for Kaname when she asked about you twos' relationship. She thought it means that you don't think she's important anymore."
Kaname and Shippo sighed at this while Inuyasha looked offended by that statement. "So she left us here, because of that! I told her that it's not important because I thought Kaname was hurt or in danger and she suddenly asks about our relationship!" he yelled bewildered at the silent monk and the quiet demonslayer. They shrugged their shoulders unknowingly at him while he felt someone pat his shoulder softly and saw it was Kaname still holding Shippo in her arms. "Well, no matter what happened, I still thank you, Inuyasha, for helping me out." She gave him a small nice smile. "Yeah, even though, you're a big dunce!" Shippo added in happily. A moment later, he got a huge knot on his head while lying in Kaname's arms from Inuyasha's fist. "Stupid kitsune." Inuyasha mumbled annoyed at the injured kitsune.
Sango looked at Kaname and suggested wisely, "Kaname, why don't you go back to your 'time' and try to calm Kagome while we straighten out Inuyasha?" She nodded agreeing with her saying, "I agree. I probably do that in the morning when she's rested enough. But I have to give her time for herself before going up there myself." Miroku stepped up and interrupted, "Yes, that would be wise. But for now, we should go inside Kaede's place and get some sleep for the new day." They agreed with him as they walked inside with Inuyasha sulking behind them and slept for the entire night thinking of a plan to reunite the two lovebirds.
