"Inuyasha Sit!" Kagome couldn't stand to children cry. It was just so sad. She then tried to pull Sesshomaru into a hug. He kept squirming to get away from her persistent hands.
"My tears will burn you" he muttered to the girl. Finally understanding why he wouldn't let her hug him, she showed her sympathy by gently rubbing her thumb along the back side of his hand. Of course it was another challenge to get his to accept the gesture.
"Oh quit crying. It's not like you need him or anything. Just think as it as a time that you don't listen to your parents." At Inuyasha's unique comforting the pup seemed to relax and calm down a little bit.
"If you want you can stay with me for a while" offered Kagome.
"In a human village? Yeah right, I would rather stay in the woods."
"Inuyasha come here" coolly said the miko. Hesitantly he leaned in close to her. Kagome took the subjugation necklace off of Inuyasha and placed it around Sesshomaru. Instead of using Inuyasha's sit command she thought of one that would better suit Sesshomaru.
"Heel" the beads glowed and Sesshomaru sound himself sitting be Kagome's left side.
"There now you can't run away." Kagome said as she patted his head. Sesshomaru got that arrogant smirk and his and took off.
"Heel Sesshomaru" the beads around him glowed and he found himself being drug back. It looked a lot like a dog being drug by a collar.
Only when he was right next to Kagome did the spell loose its hold. And he was not very happy about the whole thing either.
"Uh Kagome we should probably head to Keade and see if she knows anything that may fix this little*snicker* problem." Spoke up Miroku for the first time.
"Yah, we should waste any more time here." By now it was nearly completely dark. "Or we can wait until morning." Kagome added as she saw the last few stands of light over the mountains in the distance.
"If you plan to travel you should travel." Huffed the taiyouki.
"You don't know much about humans do you?" asked Sango.
"No"
"Well one thing you should know if humans can't see in the dark like youki, we actually need light at night. Even as we speak I can hardly see. In a few minutes I won't be able to see at all." Explained the miko.
"Inuyasha would you be so kind as to fetch some fire wood" asked the monk.
"Why should I, it's not like Kagome can sit me anymore." Answered a rather smug hanyou.
"No but I'm the only one who can bring you any Ramon. You don't do what I say and you will never get any more of your favorite food again." Before the threat was even completely out of her mouth, Inuyasha had already taken off to get the requested fire wood.
"Let's get the camp set up while we wait for Inuyasha." Miroku said after a moment or two.
"I thought you couldn't see." Asked the curious little pup.
"As of right now I can't, but if I do this then we can." Kagome had lifted her hand and a small amount of miko energy flowed out. The effect had cause a soft pink glow to illuminate the area.
"WOW, what's that?"
"Spiritual energy, some humans possess the ability to use it." Replied Kagome.
"May I touch it?" asked Sesshomaru as he crept closer.
"No" that one word stopped him dead in his tracks.
"Why?" he asked with disappointment in his voice and a slight pout on his lips.
"When youki energy and spiritual energy come in contact they tend to harm the wielder of the weaker energy."
"Oh ok, but can I get a closer look." Kagome shifted her hand so it was only a few inches away from him. If she had been giving off more power, the close distance would cause great discomfort of maybe even have purified him.
He just stared at the slowing shifting energy that was winding around her hand. Letting loose a little more power the speed of the energy shifting became a little faster. The glow had also grew stonger, and thus spread farther into the darkness.
"If you're done showing off to the little brat than you can go ahead and start the fire."
"Inuyasha… sssssiiiii" she just watched as the hanyou took off into the woods.
"Doesn't he remember that Kagome took off the subjugation necklace?" Sango whispered to Miroku.
"He so think headed. He somehow got it through that sit is bad, even if it no longer works. Now I wonder how long until that knowledge gets through his head." Miroku whispered. 'Only an anther few inches until sweet heaven' thought Miroku as his hand reached ever closer to Sango's backside.
Smack!
"Owwwwww"
"What the"
"Hey"
Slap!
"Touching a female without her consent, how un-honorable." Growled the little Inu lord.
Not even wanting to know what the entire ruckus was about, Kagome finished starting the fire with her handy dandy lighter.
She turned around to see a still sleeping Shippo, a fuming Sango, a growling Sesshomaru, and a Miroku who was still clucking his slightly burned hand.
"What happened" asked an annoyed miko.
"uhhhhh" was the only reply she got, other than Sesshomaru's growl and Shippo's soft snore.
"The hentai reached for Sango's but, Sesshomaru slapped his hand with his poison whip, Sango say what Miroku was trying to do and slapped him across the face." Replied a rather amused Inuyasha as he walked back into camp.
"Let's just try to get some sleep, and Sesshomaru can you go keep an eye on Sango. I don't want to wake up because of the hentai wants to get all touchy feely with her." Said Kagome as she climbed into her sleeping bag with the sleeping Shippo inside it, and almost instantly fell into a light sleep.
Ssssssssssssssssss
DeclaimerI don't own Inuyasha or any of the characters. (No matter how much I may want those fuzzy little ears) I do not make any money off this fic. I write purely for my own (and maybe others) entertainment.
And a special thanks to MidnightSummerStorm for helping me with my muse for finishing this chapter and the ideas that may follow in the next chapters as well
