Ch12

Kagome soshite sono Inu Doyatsu izuko Ato Hanyou

Summary: OOC. AU. Whence running from school in the rainiest day ever, ever feel like theirs something watching you? While running down an ally Kagome meets a glare from a pure white dog, hiding from the rain? T for random foul language.

Note: Most of the Japanese that I have used are on my profile. If a word is not there, please tell me, and I'll put the word up, as soon as I can :-)

Warning: Some use of bad language from Inuyasha.

Chapter 12 - The Unsettled Forest IV

Two people entered the clearing. One clearly a male and the other female. The male had a perfect red handprint on one of his cheeks and the female was looking at Kagome and Inuyasha. They all stared at each other. Shippo hid himself behind Inuyasha; Inuyasha looked at the two with a clear sign over his head saying what-the-fakku. Kagome looked startled, male with red check kept rubbing said cheek and looking at Kagome, Kilala saw the female and mewed.

'Kilala?'

Kilala jumped into the females arms and had a look, which said I'm-home-do-not-disturb.

'Uh…'

Before anyone could do anything- the male with the red check went up to Kagome.

'Would you do the honour of bearing my children?' he asked holding both her hands. He had several bumps added to the now two red checks.

'So who are you?' Kagome asked her. She had already taken notice of her legs beginning to shake, hence why the girls were sitting down. Kagome noticed while asking this question to her, Inuyasha was up a tree looking quite annoyed and off in la-la ponder land, the other male was still out cold.

'My name is Sango Minagashii and the-hentai-of-a-houshi is called Miroku Arakido, who are you?' Sango asked Kagome.

'My name is Kagome Higurashi,' she noticed Sango's eyes wonder to Inuyasha and she clearly had a wanting-to-know look about her.

'His name is Inuyasha.'

'No family name?'

If they looked up to Inuyasha, his ears where directed at them, so he could hear their conversation.

'Not that he has told me, though it doesn't matter.' Kagome said shaking her head.

'My name is Shippo Akechi!' Shippo said popping out of thin air, like he normally does. He succeeded in scaring Sango and waking Miroku.

'So why are you in this forest?' Inuyasha said from the tree he was on. Sango blinked and looked up at him.

'I was looking for Kilala…'

It suddenly dawned on Kagome,

'So you're Kilala's owner?'

Sango nodded her head but then froze, she twirled around.

'HENTAI!!' she yelled while slapping the monk. A breeze came twirling around and naturally, Inuyasha sniffed the air, his nose crimpled as if he smelt something, which Kagome saw.

'You smell something?' she asked him, remembering the last time he had done the same thing; that ended up telling them that there was someone following them, that ended up with them jumping all over the city and nearly getting burnt.

'Na, just the wind,' He said Sango blinked then realised that Inuyasha had dog-ears, but said nothing of it. Kagome was wondering if the wind actually had a smell, of course it would. It would carry other scents from things it picks up Kagome thought. But this, this made Kagome frown something about this was strange.

'Unsettled…?' she muttered to herself, clearly not quiet enough because she saw one of Inuyasha's ears flick. He jumped down from the tree and looked at her straight in the eye. She leaned back slightly because she never had the hanyou so close to her before.

'What did you just say?'

'The wind… It's unsettled…' everyone blinked at her. Miroku cleared his throat

'You wouldn't happen to be a miko would you, my lady?' he asked her, not even noticing the glares from Sango and Inuyasha.

'I am… How did you know?'

'You can sense things.'

'Then you to can sense the unsettled?' Sango asked slightly sarcastic, before anyone else could. Miroku cleared his voice.

'I can see some, but clearly Lady Kagome can see more.'

By now Kagome had a sweat-drop over her head she had never been called "Lady" so many times. She was naturally confused.

'Why are there unsettled winds in the forest?' Kagome asked innocently putting one finger to the side of her mouth and looked like she was pondering. But she saw everyone look towards Inuyasha.

'What the heck are ya all looking at me!?'

'Didn't this forest once belong to the youkai?' Sango asked, looking towards Miroku. She too was in ponder land.

'Wasn't that the time after the government decided that the youkai were too dangerous for the ningens to mix with?' Miroku asked putting his two cents worth. Everyone heard Inuyasha snort. Kagome looked towards Miroku.

'The government did what to the what?' Kagome asked a little dazed by the conversation.

'The government decided several years ago that the youkai were too dangerous to live with the ningens, so it made an official order to the youkai that they were to clear out to this forest. Before so, the youkai lived amongst the ningens. They got along, but they didn't like having to take orders from the government, which is natural considering that the youkai before so have taken orders from themselves…'

'But the youkai aren't dangerous.' Kagome stated.

'Some are, some aren't, it didn't matter to the government, one bad name for the youkai and all the youkai got the pin.'

Kagome looked around herself to the forest trees.

'That still doesn't explain why there is an unsettled wind…' Kagome said Inuyasha snorted and was up in the tree again.

'Some say that even here in this forest the government was afraid of them… it ordered his best men to kill everyone in the forest, everything that wasn't human. The reason why there is an unsettled wind is because-'

'All the youkai and hanyou were murdered here.'

Kagome looked up to Inuyasha who was still in the tree; she could see that his eyes were closed.

'…'

She noticed that Miroku was nodding slowly, and that Sango was holding Kilala more tightly.

'Everything in the forest was killed, birds too. They all are the unsettled winds, trying to tell someone of their injustice; it's their souls trying to find peace after being killed without a reason.'

Inuyasha looked down to Kagome and saw her face looked disgusted.

'He didn't have a right, they weren't-'

'Kagome, do you think that the Kyapucha- give a fucking damn about fairness? Do you think they don't fucking enjoy killing things?'

Kagome fell silent. It was now she realized that Shippo had crawled into her lap and was asleep. Sango looked towards Miroku, Miroku looked towards Sango.

'Kyapucha-?' they both asked Kagome heard Inuyasha snort; a clear sign that he wasn't going to tell them.

'The Kyapucha- keisatsu, are the ones hunting the youkai, and hanyou's.'

'So they are still hunting?'

'They fucking enjoy it, they aren't gonna rest till they know every youkai and hanyou is killed.' It was around this time he smelt salt water he sat up alarmed taking a glance towards Kagome. He saw that her head was bowed and her shoulders were squared and every now and then, they shook.

'Oh fakku,'

Inuyasha jumped down from the tree (Miroku and Sango watched with their mouths shut and amusement dancing across their faces).

'Yo…'

She didn't look up, he heard her sniffle.

'What the fakku is with the tear works?'

'It's n-not f-fair…'

Inuyasha blinked confused about the girl in front of him.

'It w-wasn't fa-air of him t-t-to do that,' she cried even harder.

'Stop crying!!' Inuyasha yelled. She looked up to him but the tears didn't stop.

'Stop crying damn it!'

Kagome sniffled, her tears stopping.

'Thank you.'

...

'We best stop here.'

Both females collapsed to the floor with a grateful sigh. It was already nightfall and Shippo was already asleep, curled up next to Kilala, who was also asleep. Kagome took her eyes off Inuyasha for a split second to look down at Shippo who chose her to sleep by she looked up again and he wasn't anywhere, she rolled her eyes. The guy liked trees too much. Miroku was somewhere prowling around to find something, food possibly.

'…How did you come by Kilala, Kagome?'

'...Inuyasha disappeared, went into the woods, fell over and boom, there she was, she kind of saved me…'

Sango frowned then urged her to continue.

'Kilala knew that the Kyapucha- was coming, so I was able to hide.'

Sango smiled. But Kagome became worried.

'What's wrong?'

'I left home without saying I was leaving, my mother is gonna worry… I can't find my way back…'

'I left my family they knew I was going to find Kilala…. Miroku, I think told his family… I'm not really helping am I?'

'…Not really… no...'

'Why don't you just ring them on that phone-thing?' Inuyasha asked popping out of nowhere with Miroku who had wood in his arms. Kagome blinked then dug into her pocket, flipped the phone open-

'It's out of power!'

Inuyasha fell.

'What!?'

'I'm sorry.'

That didn't make her feel better. Shippo woke up smelling cooking food. Kagome didn't ask where the males had gotten it, and she really didn't want to know. Everyone went to sleep soon after that, although Kagome was woken up. She heard Inuyasha but didn't see him.

This is really a pain.
