Hello everyone, sorry for the short chapter last time. I was short on time but in my opinion something is better than nothing. Hopefully this chapter will make up for it. Enjoy and review please!
Chapter 11
Hezaa kept a close watch on Inuyasha, she was determined to find his time of weakness. While of course keeping herself well out of Inuyasha's range of smell and sight. She did however notice Kagome was getting her strength back.
'Soon Kagome, I will imprison you again and I will not fail in killing you and your husband.'
Hezaa couldn't help but smile, thinking of how this pitiful woman might have been able to escape her once. Although she would not be so lucky next time. The half-breed would die as well as Kagome, and the child would be hers for the taking. Hezaa would enjoy this more than the first encounter she had with hanyou and miko.
As for finding out Inuyasha's weakness, she wouldn't have to wait to long. For this night was the night of new moon and Inuyasha's time of weakness. Hezaa noticed Inuyasha seemed uneasy today more than he usual.
'What are you so worried about Inuyasha?' Thought Hezaa while she watch a very irritated Inuyasha.
Inuyasha was more than irritated. The scene inside Inuyasha's and Kagome's hut, was that of worry and uneasiness.
"Inuyasha, please you need to relax."
"Relax! How in the hell do you expect me to relax Kagome! This is the first night of the new moon. Where some crazy bitch is out to get us, and we have no idea when she might return. And you're tell me to relax, not till this night is over. But I won't be happy till I kill her for sure."
After walking up to Inuyasha, Kagome took his face in her hands. Bring his lips to hers, they shared a long kiss. Hoping her kiss might help him relax a little, Kagome looked into Inuyasha's golden eyes and asked if felt a little better. Smiling down at her, he gave nod yes.
"Your kisses will always make me feel better Kagome, but...I still don't like this."
"It's only mid afternoon Inuyasha, we still have time to take precautions for tonight."
It was then that Inuyasha's anger grew. Making his voice louder than he wanted it to be.
"PRECAUTIONS! How the hell do you take precautions, when we don't know what that...that piece of shit for woman is going to do next! If Hezaa could fool me that easily into tricking me that she was you, with this nose. What's going to happen next time. Especially if I'm a weak human, huh! She hasn't left this area Kagome, she's trying to find my time of weakness I just know it. So don't tell me all we need to do is take precautions."
With that said Inuyasha left the hut without looking back. He knew he was wrong to take his anger and frustration out on Kagome. But the stress of everything that has happened to them in the last two weeks was starting to get to him.
Inuyasha didn't go far from the hut, he wouldn't make the mistake of leaving Kagome unprotected. Jumping up on a tree branch a little ways from the hut he set and kept watch. This way he was close enough to hear if Kagome cried for help.
But the only crying Kagome was doing was from frustration and heart ache. She knew Inuyasha didn't mean to be so harsh, but it still hurt. After all she did escape Hezaa's trap last time on her own. Kagome might be a clutz sometimes, but not when her child's life was depending on her to keep it safe.
"Why does he always think he has to do everything on his own? Miroku, Sango, and Keade are here to help us too."
Wiping the tears away with the back of her hand she decided to go talk to Sango and Miroku. She needed sometime alone with Sango anyway.
From his spot in the tree Inuyasha watched his wife leave the hut. He knew she was crying, but decided to let Sango handle this one. After all his blood was still boiling. He wasn't mad at Kagome, he was mad at himself.
Far off in the woods Hezaa watched the scene play out between Inuyasha and Kagome. She couldn't hear what they were saying. But she was close enough gather more strength from the argument.
"Seems the half-breed does better on his own. He doesn't even need me to make him mad. But you two are hiding something. And I have a feeling I might know what it is."
Kagome finally made it to Miroku and Sango's hut. Knocking on the door frame of their hut she waited for an answer. It was Miroku who answered the door.
"Kagome? What are you doing here by yourself? Why isn't Inuyasha with you?"
"I'm okay Miroku, it's nothing."
"Come, come my dear Kagome. Do you really expect me to believe that. Let me guess, Inuyasha is in a mood because of tonight am I right."
Kagome only nodded yes, before the tears started again. Leading her into the their hut, Miroku called for Sango. Once Sango saw her best friend and sister crying. She knew what was up. Looking at Miroku Sango only said "Inuyasha." Miroku gave Sango a look and that was all she needed to know.
"You handle Kagome, I'll go handle Inuyasha." Announced Miroku.
Kagome explained everything to Sango, while Miroku headed out to find Inuyasha. Once Kagome finished explaining everything to Sango, they started lunch. Shippou came to visit and helped by playing with Sango's children.
It didn't take Miroku long to find Inuyasha, even thought Inuyasha was still mad at himself. He didn't let Kagome out of his sight for a minute. Looking up in the tree next to Sango's and his hut. Miroku saw Inuyasha sitting on a branch halfway up.
"Inuyasha, I really think we should discuss some things. But not here, we need a more private place."
"And WHO says I have things to discuss? Monk." Shouted Inuyasha.
"Inuyasha, if you don't come down now! I'll get Kagome to get you down."
"Whatever monk, I'm coming."
Jumping off the branch, Inuyasha gave Miroku a small growl when he landed.
"And where pray tell is a good place to discuss matters might I ask Miroku?"
"Where else, but Kaede's." Announced Miroku with a smile on his face.
Stuffing his hands in his sleeves Inuyasha walked past the hut where his wife was cooking lunch. Inuyasha didn't want to discuss any of this with his friends, this was his problem not theirs. And he didn't want Hezaa to come after them.
"You know Inuyasha." Miroku started say. "We are all in this together. Kagome is like a sister to me and you are like a brother. Families stick together no matter what happens along the path of life."
Inuyasha didn't say a word, he continued to walk not really interested in what the monk had to say. Once they reach the hut. Miroku pushed him through the door with his staff.
"Ah Miroku, Inuyasha come sit and tell this old woman what seems to be the problem."
"If I may Keade, I think with the new moon being tonight, and everything that has happened to Kagome. Inuyasha fears Hezaa will attack or even discover his time of weakness. Does that about cover it Inuyasha?"
Inuyasha only keh and looked away.
"I'll take that as a yes." Said Miroku.
"You think you're so smart monk." Inuyasha said under his breath.
"Inuyasha, ye must stop trying to handle everything on ye own. You have friends here in this village. So let us help ye with this problem. We know what Hezaa is capable of so we just need to keep are guard up. Plus we must not cause Kagome more stress by worrying about small things. Hezaa is a demon so Miroku and I shall place a barrier around your hut tonight."
This barrier idea helped Inuyasha's mood very little. But he agreed to it.
Hezaa knew she needed an inside source, to keep an eye on things. Plus for future plans it would have to be a human. With Kagome's spiritual powers, she could sense and destroy a demon. But if Hezaa used a woman from Inuyasha's village, everything would work out perfectly.
A young woman was washing laundry in the river on the outskirts of the village.
'This is to perfect.' Hezaa said to herself. As she approached the woman from behind.
Using her special powers, Hezaa locked the woman's spirit inside her gem. Placing her hand on the woman's head Hezaa asked her what her name is.
"Kurisutaru." The woman replied.
"Very well Kurisutaru, you are my slave now. I want you to keep an eye on the half-breed Inuyasha and his wife Kagome. I want information about them. Whatever kind it may be."
"Yes mistress I will obey." Replied Kurisutaru.
"Good child do as I ask and I will let you live."
With an evil grin Hezaa left Kurisutaru finish her washing.
AN: Yes Kurisutaru only belongs to me and my sister. Thank you sis for letting me use the name too.
