CHAPTER 15: INUYASHA AND KAGOME REUNITED
It was a nice day relaxing in the warmth sun. Inuyasha was on his own getting something to eat. He hopped branch to branch still browsing the area for something. "There's got to be something. But what though?" Inuyasha mumbles under his teeth. He takes a sniff around, and picks up on, "Oh yeah, I've got myself a winner." He smirks following the scent of his prey. He stops on a branch and spots a deer. Just when he about to jump off the branch he picks up another scent, "Where's this one coming from?" He asks looking around, nothing. Just him and his prey. The deep hears something, it runs. Inuyasha was surprised to see its prey getting away.
All of a sudden a young girl who looks in her late teens runs out of nowhere and takes the deer. "Hey that's my prey. Go get your own." Inuyasha yells at the girl. The girl turns around to face him. She had long raven black hair to her mid back, chocolate brown ears, and two black fuzzy ears on top of her head, like Inuyasha does. "Who are you to interfere with my kill?" The girl snarls. 'This girl looks familiar.' Inuyasha though as he stares at the girl. The girl looks straight into his eye, "Inu…Inuyasha?" She asks as her eyes widen. Inuyasha raises an eyebrow, "Do I know you?" The girl smilingly shook her head, "Inuyasha, it's me Kagome." Inuyasha's heart missed a beat hearing that name. "Kagome?" Kagome nods to prove to him that it is really her. Inuyasha runs to her and hugs her. "Oh, Kagome. What are you doing here? I thought you'd be back at the Western Lands." Inuyasha said as they pulled away. "Inuyasha, it's horrible." Kagome cries in his arms. Inuyasha picks her bridal style and heads back to the hut.
Miroku, Sango, Shippo, and Kirara are sitting by the fire in the hut they stayed in waiting for Inuyasha to bring in the meal. "I wonder what's taking him so long?" Shippo complained. It's been an hour since Inuyasha left. "It's take a while for him to find something to eat. Just be patient." Miroku said taking a sip of his tea. "Miroku's right. Inuyasha does take a long time to bring home the bacon." Sango jokes while petting Kirara on her lap.
They hear two people talking that was coming from outside. " What's with all the ruckous is going on out there?" Shippo asks going to the opening of the hut. The rest follow suit. "Look, Inuyasha has someone with him." Miroku said seeing Inuyasha and Kagome coming to view. "I wonder who that girl is?" Sango asks. "Beats me. I haven't seen her before." Miroku said. "I wonder if she'll…." He gets hit on the head with Sango's weapon. "Don't even start, Miroku." She said. Inuyasha comes up to them. "Hey guys, I want you to meet Kagome." He introduces them to her. "Hello there." Kagome said. "Hi, I'm Shippo." Shippo bows to her. "My name is Miroku, I'm a monk." Miroku said waving to her. " And I'm Sango, and this her is Kirara." Said Sango, with Kirara in her hands. Kagome comes up to Kirara. "My aren't just the most adorable kitty." Kagome compliments the kitten scratching her ears. Kirara purrs the scratch. "Inuyasha, where did she come from?" Miroku asks him. "She's from my clan." Inuyasha answers. "From the Western Lands." Kagome adds it specifically. "Wait you two are from the Western Lands?" Shippo surprisingly asks the two. "I'll explain everything inside." Inuyasha said as they go into the hut.
Kagome looks a little sad. "What's wrong, Kagome?" Inuyasha said. "It's nothing. But something terrible happened in the Western Lands." Kagome looks to everyone. "Go on." Miroku said. "It all started when Onigumo announced that you and your father where dead." She started. "He told us all that your death was from a stampede." She turns to him. "And then he announced that he's the only one with the royal experience, that he became King of the Western Lands." Inuyasha feels guilty. "It should be you, Inuyasha. The king." The rest of the group gasp. "Inuyasha, why didn't you tell us that you're the heir of the king?" Sango asks. "The thing is that I've lost interest of becoming the king. Maybe I was, but it was a long time ago." Inuyasha responses. "I guess that's why you feel too depressed to talk about when we found you." Miroku said. "Look, I feel guilty for what I did, and that's why I didn't wanted to talk about it." Inuyasha defended himself of what happened. Kagome stood up, and walks out. "What's got into her? She seems so thrilled to see you again. Now she seems so upset." Shippo said sadly. Inuyasha goes out after her.
