"Oh dear" kaede muttered, silently wondering why she came across unconscious people on a daily basis.
This just isn't fair!
First they don't respect her, use her hut, eat her food, expect her to be nice AND bring in unconscious people all the time.
Damn. One of these days...she seethed, giving a hateful glare at the unconscious person.
A little gasp escaped her when she caught a peek of his face.
Omg...was that a dog-demon? Crap.
And now they thought she was a charity worker. They make me so mad....kaede clutched her hands in a tight little ball.
"Get here kaede you old hag!" she heard Inuyasha shout.
Kaede was in the back fields. She could see what was happening perfectly, but decided to let them miss her a bit. She hid behind a random tree as Inuyasha came hunting for her.
Uhoh...too late.
Inuyasha rounded the corner of the tree and grabbed her unsuspecting shoulder. He carried her back into the hut, grinning that he had been able to find her.
He set her down and after motioning towards his brother looked away pointedly.
I can't believe im doing this...saving my brother! Hehehe...just wait till he wakes up...he'll never have another peaceful moment. Inuyasha chuckled inwardly. My high-and mighty brother has been brought down from the clouds! I'm so...embarrassed! ...wait, where did that come from?
His conscious reminded him "hmmm ..lets see...seeing the person who saw you go in a dead faint...(not to mention why you went in a faint) isn't exactly the best thing your pride would hope for."
Inuyasha looked crestfallen.
Kagome peered at Inuyasha's face and noticed the look. I wonder what he has been thinking...I'll have to ask him one day....she thought, before turning back to sesshomaru.
Wait, I didn't get to OMG! Kagome almost shouted when she realized it.
She ran her fingers through sesshomaru's hair...much to her delight, and stayed there in rapture till she (unwillingly) got a whole lot of stares. She didn't notice them but continued to think along the lines of...oooohhh...so silky...I wonder what shampoo he uses?oh yeah they don't have shampoo in this era...he must do something...I'll have to ask him. One day.
Then several things happened at once. Inuyasha started growling. Why doesn't she ever play with my hair? This isn't fair! Sesshomaru gets everything! He started pouting at her and growling louder, clearly jealous. Miroku got a VERY evil grin on his face and was thinking of the next dirty joke to play on kagome when sango hit him .kaede, and shippo just stared. Rin giggled. Sesshomaru sprung up, baring his claws, scaring the crap out of kagome who had hidden in Inuyasha's arms(making him feel even worse...he was thinking...right ...so NOW...you come to me!) looking for who had dared touch his hair(that didn't feel like Rin's hands). Everyone cringed as he excused himself (who knew that he was polite!) from the hut and went outside alone to breathe properly.
After sesshomaru left, kagome became the object of stares. She smiled sheepishly.
0000000000000000000000000
Sesshomaru took deep breaths outside. The smell of food cooking and grass traveled up his nose. He looked around, trying his hardest to keep his mind of why he fainted. True, he did have great self control over his mind, but not this much that an event with such importance could be ignored.
As he scanned the fields, he noted a VERY ugly bunny sitting in the fields.
Uhhhgg...he thought... that is one ugly bunny. I'm glad that I am descended from one of the best-looking bloodlines of demons. Just look at how I could have ended up! Say...that is one outrageously ,extremely, obnoxiously, ugly rabbit. He might as well put it out of his misery and eat it...he was rather hungry...besides maybe it would distract the inhabitants of the hut he emerged from, so that he wouldn't have to answer awkward questions. Huh...maybe...maybe...his life used to be so definite...but ever since he had started being civil to his brother...it all changed...it's probably a ...a...a. curse!
Anyhow, the bunny will become his next meal.
000000000000000000000000000
Oooohhhh...so sleepy...killer hangover...shouldn't have drank sake at festival...dammit! I think I'll just go to sleep now...ugly bunny can handle himself for a few hours...with that thought Naraku fell asleep, just as sesshomaru was getting out of the state of unconsciousness.
000000000000000000000000000
Sesshomaru was pleased when the bunny cringed as he pounced on top of it. At least someone still thinks i'm scary...hmm..mabey i should putting on double coats of make up...or get a better eyeliner that dosent come off to darken my demon markings...this wont hurt a bit little bunny.
His eyes widened as he saw that the rabbit's blood was a dark purple color, not unlike miroku's robe.
This would certainly prove as a distraction...his eyes widened when he realized what it was. A bound minion, but...wasn't that ritual extinct now? It seemed not. He had to inform Inuyasha immediately...he wasn't sure why. But he had a feeling that if someone was watching them, he must be the same person who was playing mind games with them.
Aarrrgg...he was going to make that person pay for the crimes (he shuddered at the thought) committed against him.
He walked back in the hut with his nose wrinkled up in disgust. Must...not...get..blood..on hands!
He looked so comical that kagome laughed under her breath. Sesshomaru gave her a look before passing her as insane and as if to answer the question on Inuyasha's mind even before he blurted it out, said "it's a bound minion. I found him in the fields...and I assume that he had been up to no good."
Everyone but Inuyasha stared. They weren't used to sesshomaru saying so many words at once.
Clearly irritated he sniffled and said "what? Is it improper for me to start a conversation?"
Inuyasha replied "oh no big brother. Just that we aren't used to hearing you say so less...usually you are very talkative and gossipy." He put an emphasis on that and Sesshomaru scowled.
"I merely wanted to-"
Miroku cut in. "what? A bound minion? But you can't find them anymore!"
Kagome asked "what are those?'
Sesshomaru answered Miroku coldly. "Apperently, I was also...mist...mistk..."he stumbled over the word.
Inuyasha stared and then burst into laughter. "Talk about stuck up! He can't say that he was wrong!"
"Like you can, inuysha!" kagome replied heatedly. Here they were discussing something that seemed quite important and all Inuyasha could think have been how to degrade(giving the impression that he was modest, along with it) his brother. Sometimes he was just sooooo immature...
Time passed...
Kagome said "so what your saying is by performing a particular ritual, a master and a slave are bound? And the master controls the slave almost like a puppet?
Sesshomaru and mioga replied in union. "Yes."
Mioga had joined them half way through their discussion and with his help, sesshomaru's knowledge and evidence; they had managed to work out that someone was watching them.
What a strange thought.
Sesshomaru continued "for some reason I feel that this bunny rabbit was connected--"
He was interrupted by Inuyasha's, a very brave monk's, a demon slayer's, a kitsune's and a miko's peals of laughter. "Bunny...rabbit..." gasped Inuyasha...this was priceless! "Who knew that sesshomaru had such cute thoughts? Haha! Aaaawwwwwww...I think Rin rubbed off on you too much!" inuyasha continued to laugh while sesshomaru had become dead. Drop dead scary that is.
Things changed so quickly...a few hours ago... I would never have dreamed of laughing at him, much less to his face...now...he seemed so different from what he appeared to be...I mean he had a sense of humor! Who would have thought that he would be the only one who would smile (barely noticeable) at miroku's joke about Kagome running off with kouga if Inuyasha didn't start acting nice to her? Actually I think he didn't smile at the joke itself (he didnt even know who Kouga was!) but rather the fact that Inuyasha's face had turned three shades lighter. Sango was completely lost in her thoughts about the demon lord.
He isn't that bad thought kagome...just a bit deadly...when he felt like it...oh and she still had to ask what sesshomaru had done in her body...she would do it...One Day...she thought as she tried to fall asleep.
Tomorrow they still had to formulate a plan (sesshomaru had admitted that he wanted to kill the person who was behind this and had agreed to join them 'If I must get revenge') but she was going to have some fun with sango at the expense of the guys...it will be a much needed tension calmer for tomorrow. Tomorrow is the One Day of all my questions I need to be answered.
