I DON'T OWN INUYASHA!
Chapter 5: Protecting Happiness
Along with the encounter between Sesshomaru and Toshiro Yuri didn't let them near each other for several nights. Things also got hectic between Inuyasha and Kagome in their never ending fights that they'd always chew one another on. And Sango and Miroku just stood there in helplessness. The married couple felt like the only time they could ever been alone was at nights in their hut.
For now Miroku had been dragged by Inuyasha into the forest as they sat by a creek. Miroku sat Indian style and leans against a boulder that came up to the base of his neck while Inuyasha is squatting in front of the stream of water. Back arching Inuyasha smacks water on his face as he flicks his hands in getting the liquid off, "she's driving me up the wall!"
"Well what would expect in a relationship," Miroku gazes at the fresh greenery on the trees as you could see the outline of leaves' shadows on the monks face. The sun relishing the water as it sparkles like tiny diamonds, "have you said sorry to her?"
"What do you think?" he dries off his façade thanks to his fire rat, and gets up in shoving his firsts in the baggy sleeves.
"You're gonna have to."
"Why should I have to apologize? She started all this commotion since day one," he defends himself and he makes a gruff while settling by the monk, "and even if I do apologize it won't be enough and she'll still get all over me, what else can I do?"
"Flowers?" the man advises.
"I'd rather drop dead than do that! I'm not the one for all that mushy crap!" he looks down to his bare feet in sorrow, "how else can I show her?"
The monks hair suffers in humidity as he nudges the crown of the breed's head with the circular edge of his metal staff, "what about using your brain for once instead of going straight to me for guidance."
The inuhanyou's silver appendages on the top of his head twitch at the chining of the staff's medal rings, "then you'd think that her temper would have been tamed by now you baka!"
"Oh so you do think seriously then, I guess you're not a hopeless case after all," astounded he had been in Inuyasha's suggestion.
A pulse bulges out of Inuyasha's forehead as his black eyebrow jolts up and down.
"Look all I have to say is be yourself and do what you think is the solution to stop you and Kagome's fiasco. What makes her happy, what would she like to hear from you, and many stuff like that, but it has to come from you."
Inuyasha spectacle is on Miroku by this time as he understood and just shuts his eyes and trails his fingers through his unimaginably thick hair. His dagger shaped side bangs that hang low dance, "I'd rather kill demons than do this but if it's for Kagome I guess I'll have to."
In the meantime Kagome, Sango, and Yuri were having their girl time while in their bathing suits that Kagome brought on the other side of the well. Splashing themselves in the cold river in relief of the summer heat Rin hid behind the bushes as she was trying on her swimming suit, "um, I need help," her voice squeaks.
"Let me help you Rin," Kagome replies as Sango and Yuri were in the shady part of the pool, elbows supporting themselves at the lip of the grass. The miko just about climbs out of the brook in her simple dark blue one piece suit, her hair weighed down by the liquid, until Rin utters this, "I want Yuri to help me if you don't mind."
"Oh ok," her long legs sink back in the brook as the she yells to the her demon friend, "Rin wants you Yuri." Yuri lowers the sunglasses to the tip of her nose as you could see her pupils direct to Kagome as she takes them off and swims across to resurface on the grass. Clever as she was she immediately follows the youngling's scent in her tan two piece. The top half had a dark color of a tree and swirls of flowers as it also covers her stomach, and the bottom half baring just stripes that draw around her hip.
While Yuri jumps gracefully over the bush as Kagome joins Sango. Sango had a pink one piece that had tattoos of black butterflies. The miko groans in exhaust as she sinks in the refreshing, wet substance up to her chin. Her mane floating in thick strands that looked of silk in the gentle hint of being under water. Rear end hitting the floor of the river her thighs touch her flat toned stomach as she hugs herself.
"Hanyou problems?" mumbles Sango.
"Don't get me started, I already have a headache lingering in me."
"Man, he wore you out didn't he?" miko nods in acceptance; getting sick of this game of shouting, exploding, temper, and stress.
"When will it ever stop, I now from hearing you and Miroku that I have the patience of a Saint with him but, I starting to not take it anymore," Kagome lets the weight of her depression surround her atmosphere that Sango could feel it entering her softy. Both coco eyes burning with sorrow and pity.
"He's too stubborn to apologize and I've apologized to him more than I can count and at times when he's the one that should've been the one to say it but…right now I want him to apologize," she starts to feel guilty of herself in being stubborn too. She wants to hear it though.
"I know you and Inuyasha fight all the time but you know they always turn out okay Kagome. In the end ya'll are alright," reassures the slayer. Kagome nods in understanding, "I guess you're right I can't let this get to me."
"And to put something good to it I think that Inuyasha is getting better when you argue now. I think he is slowly understanding how you're feeling and thinking it through. Haven't you ever though how he may be feeling right now, like being in his shoes for once?" she unfolds in letting Kagome review what her companion had to offer. Sango is right; she had never given much thought .
Yuri came back while holding young Rin's tiny hand. Rin at the moment was wearing a one piece that is orange and little people were frozen playing with a beach ball in the swimming pool.
"Rin you look so kawaii!" Sango and Kagome cheer in amazement of the girl. Yuri leaps in the creek and encourages Rin to come in but the little fellow whines about not being able to swim in being afraid that she'd be swept away. Yuri then grabs Rin under her armpits and cranes her hip. Rin wraps her short arms on her neck and leans her upper body on the trusted demon's shoulder as Yuri's left arm goes around the width of her back. Yuri's right hand held on to Rin's thigh from the girls legs wrapped around her stomach and spine. Rin's feet curl up at the touch of the liquid, "it's cold."
"You'll adapt to it," said Yuri as she steps to the girls.
Heading to the river to get water for Keade Toshiro came to as he dumps his bucket under the fresh water as he hears feminine laughing in the distance. Splatters of water echoed south down the river. Curosity overpowers him as he sees Yuri and some other females that he knew off playing in the river. He steps on a twig.
"Miroku if that's you I swear I will throw a log at you again!" shouts Sango as the others turn their heads in immediate alert. Toshiro comes out of the bushes in surrender with his hands up. One bucket in his grasp filled with the liquid substance, "sorry, I don't mean any harm."
"Don't tell me you're a lech now?" Yuri predict. Rin chuckles at Yuri's movements and facial expressions in muffling her laughter. He panics and shakes his head with an embarrassing color on his cheeks, "N-n-no, no, no, no, I was j-just getting water that's all, for Kaede. I heard ya'll so I was curious on what it was."
"Thank goodness, we don't need another lecher in this village," relaxes the priestess.
Yuri gets on her feet in rising up as the water goes down to her belly button. Toshiro stiffs at Yuri's outfit sticking to the attractive shape of her body and tries very hard not to stare at her chest. His voice goes up an octave and makes an effort to hide a deeper blush, "what are you wearing."
For some reason only Yuri was making him feel this way. He's seen Kagome and Sango in their soaking swim suits but he only had his eye on her, "it's a bathing suit. Remember how I said yesterday about the well and that I lived in a different world along with Kagome."
"Uh huh," Toshiro's voice still held its awkward deep sound towards Yuri, "well me and Kagome brought bathing suits for all of us girls to swim in so we could have some time together."
Toshiro just nods his head as Yuri gets suspicious, "what's wrong with you? Your voice is strange. Did you catch something?" The two grown females giggle from the male's strange appearance as they clamp their lips together. Their shoulders scrunch to their necks. Yuri surprisingly held herself clueless to what was happening around her. She would've figure it out by know but for some reason she couldn't grasp it. Her demon instincts hated that she fell innocent in not knowing what was going on.
This sucks…
"No I'm fine, hey why is that little girl wearing your necklace? Sorry, but I forgot her name."
Rin gladly makes her introduction again, "my name's Rin! Yuri said I could wear it for today and I promised her I'd give it back tomorrow morning." Rin rubs the triangle figure on the necklace in interest of the slippery feel of it being wet.
"Doesn't she hang out with Sesshomaru or use to?" questions Toshiro as Yuri had a tinge of negativity to him in thinking he wasn't going to dislike Rin cause the child stood by the lords side. And in witnessing Toshiro and Sesshomaru's meeting she could feel him disliking the dog demon ever since. Yuri wouldn't blame Toshiro for hating Sesshomaru since the lord normally says what he thinks, but he would have another thing coming if he disgusted little Rin, a sweet, innocent child that didn't do anything wrong, just because she liked the lord and was Sesshomaru's to care for and protect.
Rin chants gleefully in hugging Yuri's arm on the shallow end of the river , "yes, I use to go on long adventures with my lord, but since Naraku's death he lets me stay here in Keade's care so I can learn the basics in becoming a woman. I still go on short trips with him and he visits me from time to time but he also keeps me here so I can play and have fun with Yuri. She's one of the few people I have since most people don't like me cause I'm with my lord."
So is this why Sesshomaru protected Yuri from me? He was taking precautions in case I would do any harm to her cause he probably sensed my strange unknown aura? Because he wanted Rin to be happy and Yuri was one of the important people that kept her happy.
"I know he may not turn out with good first impressions but he can actually be a good companion to hang around once you get to know him."
Yeah, but why do I still feel that he did that mainly for a different, stronger reason Yuri?
"Oh, gomen about that, but I'm a good play mate to hang around too so if you want to have some fun you can came to me. I have a few things up my sleeves for us to play," he beams in tilting his head. His ink hair sides on his face. His hair reaching down that they were an inch from his shoulders. Almost as long as Yuri's to. The female adolescences all saw his hair as wild and rough as if he never combed it in his life but he always did. They all curve their lips up to the man as he does the same in return.
"Aren't you gonna give that to Kaede soon," Sango points out to the bucket. Toshiro then jumps in realizing as he just about spills the supply of water. Muffled sniggers were heard in Toshiro's ear drums.
"Hey, Yuri."
"Yeah," recalls the canine breed as he glares in the glow of the azure and jade battling one another in an everlasting duel. Lost in it he continues, "would you mind it if maybe I saw you again this evening."
"Fine by me."
Kagome settles in the newly wed's hut in taking an over look at the position of the small furniture. Not seeing Inuyasha for a whole day made her lose sleep and concern for his sake. Only clue she could get were Miroku stating that he had been in the forest in watching over the environment for any hints of the disturbing aura. The monk told her that it would not be wise to interrupt the half-demon because he was in his indomitable frame of mind in trying to find the source of the presence. So Kagome had been spending the hours of darkness with Sango and Miroku sense she wanted to spend time with them. Of course she asked if they didn't mind and they said no. They rather liked her company and felt lonesome themselves from everything going on and having the hut for them alone. Both wife and husband were still being so use to sleeping with everyone else as a group.
I wonder if Inuyasha and I will I have a hut of our own? I did decide to live with him and stay by his side, but from learning this world that would mean I would have to be married to him.
Married…
"Hey, you're awake sleepy head," the teen turns her head to her dear friend Miroku as he gleams a grin to her half awaken features. Hair tangles around her mug and unnecessary strands poke up her scalp. Slit eyes keep the lush, beautiful pools of coffee in their prison. Locked inside forever. Her purky lips let her mouth form an 'o' in rising her dark brows in her crazy, chunky bangs. Wearing her pink, silky pajamas blankets bow in front of her as she is cushioned on a sheet. The sunlight hitting her arm from the monk being at the door and having the curtain door opened to the outside world her arms give that faint tan glow.
The ningen miko yawns whilst reaching for the sky, "Miroku, have long have I been asleep?"
"For quite awhile than what we're use to but you barely had any sleep last night did you not? I saw you awake in the middle of the night watching the moon out the window. You seemed deep in thought," generously reacts the male in adjusting his robes more comfortably to his shoulders. He honorably takes his flip flops off and makes his way to the upper left corner of the house where the staff's resting place took it use. Snatching his symbol of Buddhism he utters to the future girl, "it's funny how you're in your traditional priestess outfit by day, but at night you wear that silky night outfit that is so off to this Feudal style."
She views to her pajamas and him, "oh, well I guess that's in saying I'm different. That I'm not an average Feudal Era girl, I like that. It's what makes me…me…I have no shame to it."
"You shouldn't."
"Where's Sango?"
"Just went to bath at the spring," he responds politely.
"Oh, I might join her soon," she pulls a strand of hair behind her ear. Miroku brings a smirk as Kaome gives him that look, "and that doesn't give you an invitation to sneakly watch us bathe like the peeping tom that you are, lecher."
Miroku puts his hand over his heart, "why would you think of me so poorly Kagome. You wound me so for a married man who has his eyes on one woman only."
"Uh huh, you maybe married but I don't think your eyes have fully shrunk on your woman population as of yet," she jokes around. She knew he only had his eyes set on Sango but he will always have his perverted ways.
Some things die hard…
"Anyway, I also came in here to tell you someone has been waiting for your awakening," Miroku came to the woven door and began lifting it over his head, "and though he doesn't admit it he is eagerly wanting to see you."
Keeping the position of the door still with his arm supporting it in the air the sunlight blinds Kagome as her first intuition is to shut her eyes in adjust to the white light. Blinking her eyes several times she saw the world fuzzy outside and in. Something made her heart flutter in hope. A specific object caught her soul as it became clearer. It called to her
A hanyou.
Her hanyou.
Inuyasha.
