Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha...
Chapter 4: A Month Later
I sighed. It's been a month and I have gotten lost in these woods atleast fifty times! No over exageration! Oh yeah! It's been a month since I have first came into the Feudal Era when I went to deliver my friend, Kagome Higurashi's, books to her.
I've pretty much just stuck with Kagome, and when she went home, I did too. Her parents told mine about the Feudal Era and everything, and mine promised to not tell a soul. At first, they told me I couldn't go and grounded me, but I convinced them... somehow. Now, for school, they, like Kagome's mom and grandfather, say I have sicknesses.
Anyway, I was wondering the woods by myself for the fifty-first time in a month. I strained my ears to hear anyone. Finally, I heard two males fighting.
I ran into a clearing to see Inuyasha, a thick-headed, stubborn dog half-demon, and Shippo, a cute fox demon, fighting. I smiled when I saw Kagome sigh, Miroku, a perverted monk, get hit by Sango, a demon slayer, in the head with a large boomerang thing. I walked over to Kagome, making sure to keep my distance from Inuyasha.
It wasn't that I didn't like Inuyasha, in fact, we made a good team in battle, but the fact that he's a dog frightens me. Not that I was scared or anything...
I smiled and set my backpack down and sat next to it. Kagome sat by me. "What'd you get?"she asked, pointing at my bag. I had gone home for a day to collect some of my things.
I shrugged. "The usual necessities,"I replied, coughing slightly. I looked at Kagome to see she was nodding in understanding. I brightened. "Oh! And I got a new book!"I pulled it out. It was small, but informative. It was about a thing's pressure points. That's how I fought. I mixed gymnastics, something I used to do when I was younger, with martial arts that focused on hitting an opponent's pressure points.
I looked down at the book. "Any leads on Naraku?"I asked. Naraku is an evil half-demon that tortures the Inu-Group pratically. It's been a month, and I have never met him.
Kagome shook her head. "No, none,"she replied. It suddenly became quiet, Inuaysha adn Shippo had stopped fighting.
"Finally!"Kagome and I exclaimed in unison.
I smiled. "Hey, while I was wondering, I found a hot springs! How about we get a bath or something?"Sango offered.
Kagome and I nodded. "Sure!"we agreed. We began to run into the woods, Shippo following us. "And no peaking!"we yelled.
-In the Hot Springs-
We sighed with pleasure. "I didn't have enough time to get a shower back home. This feels great,"I sated. Kagome, Sango, and Shippo nodded in agreement.
"Hey!"Kagome exclaimed. "We better get going! Inuyasha'll freak if we are away too long!"she exclaimed. Sango nodded and got out.
"I'll catch up with you guys,"I smiled and sunk under the water.
-A Few Minutes Later-
I pulled on my school uniform and looked around. "Now which way to the campsite?"I questioned. I sighed. "Not again!"
I turned and slowly began to walk in a random direction when I heard thunder. "Oh great..."I mumbled as rain fell on me.
