Chapter Four: Eyes like Those

"I think we should set up for camp." Kagome said as she swung her leg over her bike upon dismounting it. "Yea you're right." Miroku said to her. Inuyasha looked around to make sure that the area Kagome stopped in was safe for them to stay. "I'll be right back." He notified them as he jumped up into the trees. Akio stretched her arms out with a small yawn. Shippo popped up on her shoulder and looked over in the direction that Inuyasha left in. He glanced over at Akio and saw her face flash a faded red. Shippo smiled with a giggle to himself, then jumped off her shoulder and ran after Inuyasha. "Hey Kagome…" Akio started as she looked down at the ground. "Do you guys normally camp outside?" she asked as she ran her fingers though her hair. Kagome looked at Akio confused. "yeah, why?" she asked her. "Isnt it dangerous?" Akio asked Kagome. Kagome smiled. "not really. We have Inuyasha and Miroku to protect us if anything. And besides, Sango and I are strong on our own as well." Kagome laughed softly. Akio started to feel uneasy. "Speaking of the mutt, where'd he go to?" Akio asked her as she looked off into the direction he left in. "To check the surrounding area." Kagome stated as she began to look through her giant yellow bag for dinner. Akio looked around them. "I'll be right back…. You got toilet paper?" Akio bit her lip. Kagome laughed and threw a small roll of paper at her. "be careful!" she called back to Akio as she ran off to find a place to use the "bathroom".

"Well, all clear here.." Inuyasha thought out loud. Look glimpsed around where he was once more then sniffed the air. He sighed softly as he walked over to a small clearing that had a nice hot springs. Inuyasha smiled. "Oh, the girls are ganna love this." he thought out loud again as he began to walk back to the group. "a-choo!" a sweet sneeze came out from behind a few bushes. Akio managed to stumble out of them. She rubbed her nose softly as she walked over to him. "hey.." she said softly. "I've lost my way back to the camp sight….." she said softly with a red tint on her cheeks, clearly embarrassed. Inuyasha rolled his eyes with a small growl. "just follow me. And don't get lost!" he told her. Akio nodded her head with a small yawn. "Are we clear?" Kagome asked as Inuyasha walked over to her. Her nodded his head and stuck up some conversation with Kagome, eventually pointing back at Akio, telling her how her friend got lost. Kagome sighed with a small shake of the head as she sat down by the fire where dinner was cooking. They continued to hold a conversation for a long while. Akio walked over to Miroku and Sango and sat beside them. She sighed softly and started to pet Kirara with a smile. "So, Akio…." Miroku started. "Whats life like where you and Kagome are from?" Sango asked. Akio looked at them and smiled softly. "crowded, very loud and covered in lights. We live in a big city, always have." she said softly. "How far back can you remember?" Miroku asked her. "Im sorry?" she responded not understanding his question. "I mean, into your childhood. How far back can you remember?" he asked her. Something was up. "as far back as I can remember is back to when I was about 3yrs old. Whats it matter?" she asked him. Miroku nor Sango responded to her. "Listen, I know you guys think theres something weird about me, and you know what? that's the reason I've never had friends. that's the reason my family was never really fond of me. But you want to know something? I've made it 18yrs without friends, I think I can make it a little longer without them." she said in an annoyed voice as she stood up. "I just don't see why you people wont accept me, you have a whole in your hand and you hunt demons. If anything, you guys are weirder than I am. Maybe you people should stop judging me and find a mirror to look into." Akio said softly as she walked away from them, remembering her walk back from earlier with Inuyasha and retracing her steps. "you guys really made her feel bad…." Shippo stated to them. Sango and Miroku hung their heads a little feeling bad. "She has a point Miroku….." "She must feel so lonely….." "and you two made it no better. You made it so obvious that you thought something was wrong with her and now look! She's wondered off into the dark with no real knowledge of this era or the area. She could get lost!" shippo told them, bringing them back to attention. Akio had no idea what could possibly by out there and worst yet, she may not have been able to defend herself if she came into an encounter with a demon. Miroku sprouted onto his feet. "we need to go after her." he announced. Kagome came walking over to them with a smile. "dinners ready you guys." she said happily. "We need to go find Akio. She wondered off and she could get lost in the dark out here." Sango told Kagome as she got to her feet as well. "where did she go?" kagome asked them and all they could do is shrug. Inuyasha walked over a little grumpy. "im starving! Lets eat already." told them. The group looked at him. "what?" he asked confused. "We lost Akio." miroku stated. "Lost? They practically scared her off!" Shippo corrected. "What?" Kagome questioned. "Never mind that. We need to find her. She could get hurt out here!" Miroku insisted. "Inuyasha, could you sniff her out?" Kagome asked him. Inuuyasha sighed then began to sniff the air. Once he caught whiff of her, he ran off in the direction he left in, with the Miroku and Sango following close behind him.

Akio dipped her bare feet into the hot spring that inuyasha had found a little earlier. She took a deep breath and smiled. This feels so nice. She smiled to herself as she laid back on the grass. The sky looked amazing and so bright filled with stars. The sun had set so soon it felt like the day had just started. Akio let out a soft sigh and sat back up. I should head back to them, shouldn't I…. she thought to herself. "You sure are a pretty little thing arent you?" a voice came from behind her. Akio turned around quickly and say a man that looked so young with slightly pale skin and long nearly black brown hair. His smile was sinister and made Akio very uneasy. "who are you?" she asked as she stood up, shaking the water off her feet. The man moved closer to her in his baboon suit. She took a few steps backward. "I am Naraku my dear….." he smirked at her, making Akio even more uneasy than before. "That's nice, but if you'd excuse me, there is somewhere I need to go." she stepped around him and began to walk past him, towards the groups camp sight. Naraku grabbed Akio by her wrist and held tight. She looked back at him angered. "let me go creep." she growled at him. "you seem to not know who you're speaking to wench." he growled back at her. She looked at him a moment, then smirked with a light chuckle. "So, you're the bad guy they told me about." she laughed at him. "a monkey suit, really?" she laughed at him. Naraku then pulled her closer to him, pressing her body against his as he wrapped one arm around her waist. "You may not want to laugh at someone who can end your life girl." he growled again. Akio smiled at him. "should I be scared?" she asked him. She appeared to be as strong and as confident as could be, but on the inside, she was falling apart in fear. the hell do I do now! This guy can kill me with a smack across the face! she thought to herself. "Let her go!" a voice came behind her. Akio turned her head and he eyes lit up. She saw Inuyasha and Miroku running towards them. Her heart sped up as Naraku held her tighter. "I don't think so." he smiled. "She could be of some use to me." he smirked and began to back away. Inuyasha grabbed his tensiga from his waist and waved it once. "back flash wave!" he cried, cutting through the baboon suit, but not Naraku himself. Naraku knocked Inuyasha down with one strike, then Miroku before he could even strike. Akio began to feel less and less fear and more and more anger. Her eyes began to flash gold and silver. She began to growl like a beast as her nails grew out like claws. "let me go!" she screamed as she slit Naraku's face with her nails. She jumped backwards and stared at him with vicious eyes. Naraku smirked at her. "I know those eyes." he laughed. "Be gone!" she growled. "Make me." he growled at her. As Akio went to run after Naraku and arrow pierced through him. He growled in pain, then ran off. Akio turned around to Kagome, then she felt all the blood in her body rush to her head. She dropped to her knees, then blacked out.

Akio opened her eyes slowly to see a blur of something white. It felt as though she was moving yet staying still at the same time. "her eyes.. Kagome, this girl is not human." a voice stated. Akio recognized it as Inuyasha. "how so?" she asked annoyed. "Her eyes turn gold and silver and her nails grow like claws! The girl isn't human!" he growled at her. "I know those eyes…. At least, I've seen eyes like those before….. I just don't remember from where." Miroku said softly. Akio opened her eyes fully. She was in Inuyasha's arms. She took a deep breath and spoke softly. "What happened you guys…." she asked softly as she looked up at the perfect jaw line of inuyasha. Inuyashsa and Miroku looked at her as though she had lost her mind, when she had clearly lost her memory. "You don't remember?" Miroku asked her. "What happened to that Naraku creep?" she asked softly. Inuyasha came to a stop and looked at Kagome. "I told you." he whispered in a gruff voice. "I got rid of him Akio." Kagome said softly. "Like dead, or he ran way injured?" she asked. "He ran off injured. But you're safe now, ok?" Kagome said softly. how could I have ever hated her growing up….. Akio thought to herself. "Im not feeling to great. My head hurts and I feel dizzy…" she said softly. "Just hold on to Inuyasha, we're almost to the camp sight again." Kagome smiled at her. Akio nodded her head and snuggled up to Inuyasha when Kagome turned her head around to keep walking ahead. He looked down at her with a confused and questioning look. Akio smiled weakly and put a single finger to her naturally red lips. "shhhh." she said softly. Kagome got further ahead of them. "So what are you?" Inuyasha asked her. "Please Inuyasha….. I don't know what youre talking about, and I feel like crap….." she said softly. He nodded his head and held her just a little tighter, making sure not to drop the girl. She smiled and pulled herself up a little to where she was by his ear. "you have very warm arms ya know." she smiled with heavy eyes and laid her head on his shoulder, falling fast back to sleep. Inuyasha's face ran red. He shook his head and looked at her sleeping form and sighed. this girl is really making it hard to be completely faithful here…he glanced at her again before walking into the camp sight. but shes so beautiful….. But there is something very wrong with her…. Eyes like those… they mean danger… Inuyasha laid her down in an extra sleeping bag that Kagome had and took a deep breath as he grabbed Kagome's hand. "You ok?" he asked her softly. "Yeah, why do you ask?" she asked him. "What happened with Akio…. It was weird, but you had to save your friends life….. Just wanted to know you were ok…." he smiled at her softly, something he nearly never did. Kagome smiled back at him and kissed his cheek. "Im fine, thank you." she said softly with a yawn as she crawled into her own sleeping bag. Sango rolled over, holding Kirara in her sleeping arms. Inuyasha sighed and looked at Miroku who smirked at him. "you cant have them both ya know." Miroku told him. Inuyasha growled. "I don't want them both. Just Kagome…." he stated as he looked at her sleeping form. "whatever you say Inuyasha." Miroku smiled and closed his eyes for some rest of his own. Inuyasha looked at Kagome, then Akio. just Kagome….. No matter your mystery, I just want… his mind trailed off when he saw a familiar figure by the trees. Inuyasha's eyes widened, then saddened. Its was Kikyo.
