Kagome awoke with somebody gently poking her face with a very sharp claw. She tried to go back to sleep and hoped the person would go away if she rolled over. Soon someone was tugging on her hair.
"Human, the sun has come up." She huffed and rolled back over.
"KAGOME, my name is Kagome. I have the decency to call you by your name so in return I would very much appreciate if you would call me by my name." Even though it was a simple enough sentence, it totally sounded like a demand.
"OK KAGOME, the sun has come up" Sesshomaru replied coolly.
With a grunt Kagome slid out of her sleeping bag and started putting her camp necessities up. It took little time because she was used to packing quickly. Inuyasha could get up at any hour and want to start traveling as soon as humanly possible.
Kagome rid on Inuyasha's back while Sango and Miroku rode Kiara. Sesshomaru simply followed at a distance. They traveled swiftly and with much concern since they weren't very far away from Keade's village in the first place.
It only took a few hours for them to reach Inuyasha's forest. And a few more minutes for them to get to the village.
Everyone, except Sesshomaru and Shippo (they were outside, Shippo ended up showing Sesshomaru around the village to keep from listening in on the adult conversation) , plied into the Keade's small hut and the conversation began. Kagome explained all that had happened to the lord of the west and what went on afterwards.
"So keade, do you know what did this to Sesshomaru?" Sango asked.
"Alas, I know nothing of what caused these events, or how to solve ye problem." Replied the old miko
"Why can't we let him solve his own problems? We had shards to find." Demanded Inuyasha
"If I'm not mistaken we were the ones to cause this problem so we will be the ones to fix it." Replied Kagome with the sound of a command in her voice.
"Keh, we can't take the kid Sesshomaru with us to look for shards. They're our main priority."
"Oh keade what would it take to get another subjection necklace?" asked Kagome with her sweetest voice.
"It would take me probably a day or two to make another one. Though what happened to the one that Inuyasha was wearing?" replied Keade
"Oh, I put it on sesshomaru. You see Inuyasha won't hurt me. I know that for a fact. Sesshomaru on the other hand… not so sure about that. Either that or Sesshomaru would try to run away."
"so what command did you use on the poor little inu?" asked Keade
"Sango I don't want to activate the necklace so you tell her the command"
"Of course, the command that Kagome used is heel."
"Very nice, but not that useful when trying to get away from him"
"He's a little kid, well demon, but you get the idea." Snapped Kagome. Her motherly defenses had already somehow had wrapped around Sesshomaru like they had Shippo.
"Ok, Ok. Rest easy child. I was just stating an idea of what could come. Nothing is set in stone already."
"Ok, so what do we do to solve this?" asked Inuyasha
"Well I could stay here with Shippo and sesshomaru while you, Sango, and Miroku go look for the way to turn the cute little puppy back" after finishing that statement everyone let loose a fit of laughter that could be heard across the village. Even Keade couldn't hold back the fit of giggles that found its way into her.
"No" Inuyasha had managed to say after he could sort of control the laughter.
"it's either that or I go home." Stated Kagome with a calm, yet smug face.
"And what will stop me from coming to get you back?" Inuyasha gave a smug look that was slightly better than Kagome's.
"without your subjugation necklace you can't travel through the well" and the smuggest look goes to Kagome. Followed by a slightly devastated hanyou.
"fine, but as soon as we fix this we are resuming shard hunting." With that the hasty hanyou raced out of the hut, past the started youki children, and into the forest.
"and I thought we were going to take a break for a little while" muttered Miroku as he and Sango raced to caught up with Inuyasha.
Sssssssssssssss
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
Sorry for the delay. I have been traveling for a while and it's hard to write when you're in the car for 15 or so hours at a time. ( I can't write in the car. My laptop would die within 20 minutes )
