Chapter 9
Kagome stood up, and drained her hair twisting it with her hands. She walked out of the river with difficulty, because of her shoes sticking into the mud. Finally reaching the shore Kagome ringed as much water out of her clothes as best she could.
Inuyasha jumped out of the water and landed on all four feet, shaking the dripping water off like…well a dog. When he looked over at Kagome she was once again dripping wet again.
"Gomen, Kagome." Inuyasha said laughing uncontrollably.
"Thanks." She said very sarcastically, ringing it out again.
"No problem!" Inuyasha smirked.
"Yeah yeah. Well let's start walking back before diner."
"Ok." Inuyasha grabbed all 4 buckets, 2 in each hand, and slowly started walking down the worn out dirt path. Kagome squishing and squeaking with ever step she took.
It was dead quiet, you couldn't hear a thing. Not even the wind blowing the leaves to make a rustle. The only sound you could here was Kagome's squeaky sandals. It was odd how not one bird chirped a single note.
Inuyasha was walking a bit behind Kagome keeping his ears, open incase anything decided to pop out. Suddenly Inuyasha heard a small rustle come from a tree near the side of the path. He turned and looked to see what it was as fast as he could, but only to find nothing there, but the tree itself.
Kagome looked back to see why Inuyasha had stopped walking.
"What is it Inuyasha?" Kagome asked, she walked at the side of him and tried to look at what he was looking at.
Hearing his name he snapped out of his trance and replied to her.
"Nothing just thought I heard something."
He started to walk again, when he noticed Kagome not following.
Kagome was staring at the tree; a cold chill went down her back. She grabbed her arms to gain heat, but she still felt cold. Her eye sight started to get fuzzy until, a warm hand comforted her shoulder.
"Come on Kagome we better go." Inuyasha said.
Inuyasha bent down and picked up the buckets he put down. Kagome and Inuyasha quickened there pace, Inuyasha was behind Kagome but was right on her heels.
Inuyasha didn't know what or who it was, but the feeling of someone watching them had left. When he looked at where he heard the noise, he was surprised he couldn't smell anything, not a scent, only the strong smell of pine.
Kagome on the other hand felt as if her life was being sucked out. She felt as if she was being controlled by something.
They kept there speed until they were back at Kagome's home. Inuyasha put the buckets next to the fire wood they had collected earlier, and then went inside.
When they walked in they saw Lady Kaede and Mrs. Higurashi finishing there conversation. The two women looked up when they saw the two teenagers walk in.
"Hello ye two, we were just talking about ye." Kaede said.
"I don't if I should be worried or not." Kagome said sitting down, motioning for Inuyasha to follow, which he did.
"No it should not be anything to be ashamed for, but Kagome may ye follow me I must talk to ye." Kaede stood up and wondered outside, Kagome behind her.
They walked not to far away from the hut, but far enough so Inuyasha could not eavesdrop with his well hearing dog ears.
"Kagome did ye sense anytime, of this day some unknown presence?" Kaede asked.
"Yes Kaede, I did. Just a couple hours ago. It was not a nice presence. It had a very evil aura." Kagome said.
"I thought so; the trees have been very restless lately. Kagome listen to me carefully child, I want ye to stay close to Inuyasha at almost all times. Is that clear?" Kaede asked sternly.
"Yes Kaede I will, but how do you know about Inuyasha?" Kagome asked because she knew she never introduced him to her.
"Ah yes, well your Okan-san and I talked about ye two a couple of times." Kaede said as if nothing.
"Great, my Okan-san just finds more and more ways to embarrass me!" Kagome said with a sign.
"Yes, well Kagome I best be off. I will not be here for tomorrow's training, for I shall be at another village leading help. Ye stay out of trouble child." Kaede left going back to her own hut, while Kagome walked back to her hut.
Once she entered the hut, she noticed a bright red blushing Inuyasha, with her Okan-san just smiling.
"Did I miss anything?" Kagome asked.
Inuyasha shook his head rapidly.
"Oh Inuyasha and I were just having a chat, nothing more. Well you two best be off supper time is arriving soon. Kagome don't be long and Inuyasha keep in mine what I said." She finished.
Inuyasha stood up really quick and grabbed Kagome's hand, running to the edge of the forest. Kagome being dragged and barely touching the ground.
"What was that all about?" Kagome asked.
"N-N-Nothing! Common let's go… now!" Inuyasha bent down so Kagome could get on. They speeded off into the forest. It was very dark outside. On the way there Inuyasha caught two rabbits for Kagome to cook. When they reached the god tree Kagome made dinner and eat until Inuyasha decided to break the silence with a mouth full of food.
"What did Kaede (chew) ask you?"
Kagome swallowed the food in her mouth, and then answered.
"She asked if I've felt any weird presence's lately. And all I said was that I felt an evil aura, and then she told me to stay by you more." Kagome said.
Kagome looked at him and saw him puff out his chest. 'Why is he acting so proud?' Kagome wondered.
"Inuyasha what did my Okan-san say to you?" Kagome asked.
Inuyasha but his plate half full of food on the ground in front of him. He opened his mouth closed it, opened it again then…
