I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA... I'M GETTING SOO TIRED OF WRITING THIS
A/N::: Two Chapters in one day, I'm on a roll! wooo-hooo
Kagome awoke to the sound of talking, she peeked though her long lashes to see Inuyasha and Miroku talking, she looked over to Sango who was still asleep... Kagome stretched her arms above her head and Yawned, Then she heard the soft whispers turn into soft shh's then she heard the soft thump of her backpack being tossed across the floor
"Good morning Kagome-sama" Miroku smiled
"Good morning" Kagome eyed them but decided to ignored whatever they were doing to her stuff "When are we leaving?"
"Not for a while, its still raining" Inuyasha crossed his arms
Kagome listened but all she heard was a light sprinkle "Oh okay, so who was that man last night?" Kagome asked calmly while running her fingers through her hair. Obviously he wasn't a threat Inuyasha would have stopped him before he reached the hut
"What man?" Miroku asked before Inuyasha could
"Last night, right before I fell asleep I saw a man standing in the door way" Kagome answered
"What are you talking about?" Inuyasha snapped, kagome could feel the fear in his voice
"I told you, last night before I feel asleep I saw a man right there" Kagome pointed to the spot he had been standing in
"Are you sure Kagome?" Miroku asked
"Of course"
Inuyasha growled "Why didn't you say anything? Like hey who is the freak watching us sleep"
"I don't know, I figured if he was a threat you would have noticed him" Kagome snapped back "Mr. hanyou should have sensed him before he even walked in to the hut"
"It doesn't matter now" Miroku snapped before the fight could get out of control "Apparently he was a threat or he would have attacked or stole something"
"Miroku is right" Sango yawned
"Sorry we didn't mean to wake you" Kagome apologized
"It's fine I needed to wake up anyway" Sango stretched as Kirara did the same
"Well I think for the next few days we should be ready for anything" Inuyasha stood and looked outside
"If he was able to walk in undetected, he will more than likely attck us before we even know he is near" Sango tied her hair up
"He would have attacked last night, we were asleep and helpless" Kagome explained
"Unless he was assessing us before he attacked" Inuaysha snapped
"Well never the less, we need to be on alert" Miroku stood "Sounds like the rain is slowing down, I say we get ready to go" Everyone nodded in agreement, Once everyone was packed and ready Inuyasha lead the Pack out of the hut and in to the forest, They walked slower than usual, Inuyasha kept his hand on his sword all day, Kagome could tell he was focusing on the area around them, Kagome would also expand her aura to see if anyone was in the surrounding area but she felt nothing, so decided to relax and enough the warm fall breeze
~~~~~~~~~~~~Let's Back up a little bit and check up on Sesshomaru~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After Kagome returned to the group he returned to his castle to check of his ward, He flew the distance to his castle and landed outside the Iron Gates leading up the mountain to his Castle, He walked towards the Gate when two men appeared
"Good afternoon Sesshomaru-sama" the men bowed, he said nothing as he walked past them, the gates opened up wide and closed behind him when he entered, he felt the tingle of the barrier he passes thought, It was a strong barrier his father put up when Sesshomaru was a child to keep unwanted demons from nearing his castle... Sesshomaru walked up the long stairway to his castle, when he reached the top he could hear Rin and Jaken Playing, He walked over to the garden and watched as Rin Picked flowers and tossed them up in the air spinning around and around as they fell around her. If it hadn't been for the fact he was being watched he would have smiled, Rin could always have fun no matter where she was. Then Kagome and Shippo ran across his mind, they too could find fun in the most dangerous places'
"HELLO SESSHOMARU-SAMA" Rin Called out waving her whole arm above her head
"Have you been good?" He asked in his could voice
"Yes, Rin has been very good" Rin called out and jaken nodded
"Hn" With that sesshomaru walked in to his home to his study, He had paperwork piling on his desk, but he couldn't think of work now, every time his mind would wonder to Kagome, Her eyes, Her lips, The way her hair blew in the breeze "Ugh, stop this nonsense, get to work" Sesshomaru scolded
He turned his attention back to the paper work but Kagome kept flashing in his mind 'Stop' Sesshomaru ordered his beast
~Hey now, this isn't my doing... You're doing it to yourself~ His beast laughed
'I cannot think with her in my head'
~Mate her~ his beasted hissed
'Later' He sighed
~She won't leave you alone till you mate her~ His best warned
Sesshomaru stood and left his study "Rin be good" He ordered when he walked outside
"Leaveing again" Rin asked now she was feeding the birds
"Yes" Sesshomaru walked back down the steps and out of the barrier, and back through the Iron Gates
"Sesshomaru-sama" The guards bowed again as he left, Sesshomaru stepped on his cloud as soon as he was out of sight, he could feel the storm heading this way, by the time he reached the groups they were yelling in a small hut, he could hear the hurtful words each member was yelling at each other, he decided he would not listen to such nonsense, he walked around the hut looking in the small window, his eyed widened as he caught sight of a familiar silk fabric in Kagomes hands, she was gently rubbing it as Inuyasha was yelling.
~Strike Three you re out!~ his beast rolled over laughing
'Not now' Sesshomaru hissed as he walked away, to find cover from the storm. He sat in a nearby tree the thick branches sheltered him from the rash rain. Due to the rain he could no longer hear Inuyasha and his pack argue. He relaxed listening to the Sound of the thunder roll and the rain splash against the ground. It was late in the night when the rain slowed down, He opened his eyes and scanned the area, he noticed a figure leaving the Hut, He leaned up and moved the leaves to see a dark figure turn to face him, he could hear the figure chuckle and wave before he disappeared in to a mist, Sesshomaru jumped down and walked into the hut. He had a bad feeling about the figure he just saw, He stepped in to see Everyone sleeping, Inuyasha and Miroku Snoring so loud it hurt his ears, Kagome and shippo were snuggled up together in the back and the slayer was curled up next to her Firecat to the left of kagome.
Nothing seemed out of place, he shurrged and left the hut to return to the tree he had been sitting in and soon fell asleep Dreaming of Kagome.
He awoke in the late morning to the sound of a bird chirping near his ear, annoyed he flicked his wrist and his whip slashed the small bird in two, he heard the thumps of the dead body hitting the ground. He jumped out of the tree lading softly, he walked over to the hut to see how kagome was doing, but to his surprise the hut was empty 'How long did I sleep?' Sesshomaru wondered as he walked around the hut catching Kagomes scent immediately, it was starting to fade; they were a great distance away. He followed them, knowing he could catch up to them whenever he wanted.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Back to Miss Kagome and her group~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Are you okay inuyasha?" Kagome asked when he suddenly stopped
"Something isn t right" He sniffed the air
"What is it?"
"Its too clean, no scents, not even the smell of the small animals"
"Thats not good" Sango Readied her weapon
"Calm down Sango, we don't even know there is a threat here" Miroku explained
"Lets hurry up and get out of this area" Inuyasha walked over to Kagome and pulled her on to his back before jumping into the air, Miroku and Sango jumped on Kirara and took to the skies, Kagome could feel the uneasy tension in Inuyasha, something was wrong and he knew it.
They ran until they came upon a village "Lets stay here for the night, its highly unlikely anyone will attack us here" Kagome breathed in Inuyasha ear
"Fine" Inuyasha snapped skidding to a stop outside the village "Lets go see if they will let us stay the night" Kagome stepped off Inuyasha back and Walked behind Kagome as they entered, they walked straight to the head masters house and asked to see him. A very elderly man walked out
"Well if it isn't The Miko Kagome"
"H-How do you know my name" She could feel Inuyasha hand on the small of her back
"Your powers are known worldwide, you are the human how defeated the Terrible Hanyou Naraku" The old man chuckled "I never thought I would get to met the brave young Miko and her friends"
"Well congrats here we are" Inuyasha snapped "So can we stay the night or what"
"Inuyasha" Kagome turned and rubbed his arm to calm him "We need shelter for the night and wondered if you would be so kind to let us stay"
"Of course, I shall prepare a fest for you" The old man clapped his hands as two women appeared "Please make something for our guest" both women bowed and left again. "Follow me, would you like to sleep together or in separate rooms"
"Whatever makes you feel comfortable" Miroku stepped up
"Okay then, Females in here"
"Sir, would it be alright if the children sleep with us as well" Kagome asked as shippo held her hand
"That would be fine" the old man watched as they walked in to the room, he slid the door shut as they sat down "This way to your room" The old man walked a good distance away from the girls room and opened a door "Here" The old man snapped
"Thank you" Miroku bowed before he walked it, the old man slammed the door once they were in
"Rude" Inuyasha snapped
"He did seem a little different with us than he did with the girls" Miroku looked back
"Keh whatever, As long as we get some sleep I don't care" Inuyasha leaned against the wall as the door opened again, two young women walked in with a tray of food.
"Thank you" miroku smiled they said nothing as they set the food down and walked out.
"Damn is everyone in this place rude" Inuyasha crawled over to the food smelling it before he ate it, making sure nothing was wrong with it.
"Just Eat inuyasha" miroku sighed picking up a bowl of rice.
Back at the girls room the same two women walked in with a tray of food, with a smiled they set the food down.
"The bath is ready if you would like to take one" One of the women spoke as the other bowed
"Please let us know if you need anything at all" the other one raised and spoke as the first one bowed.
"Thank you, could you please show me where the bathing room is?" Kagome stood holding her bag
"Of course, this way" The women lead her to the room and slid the door open for her
"Thank you" Kagome stepped in and heard them slid the door shirt. Kagome stripped and jumped in, The water was a little to hot for her enjoyment, 'I'd rather it be hot than Ice cold I guess' Kagome slid deeper in to the water before bathing, she scrubbed her skin thinking nonstop of the beautiful Kimono waiting for her. The water was still to hot to soak in so she jumped out and dried off, looking at the redness of her skin from the water. She quickly dried her body then ran the towel through her hair, then wrapped herself in her black robe, so her body could completely dry before putting on the Kimono, before she walked out the door Kagome figured it wouldn't hurt to wash her other Kimono's really fast, She quickly pulled out her Yellow and purple Kimonos and scrubbed them clean, she Ringed them out as best she could hand fold them over the arm before walking out. she found her way back to her room.
"Are you going to bathe?" Kagome asked
"I think I might" Sango cupped her chin
"I feels great" Kagome smiled 'Or at least it should now' kagome thought to herself
"Okay then" Sango stood and walked to the door "Umm where is it?"
Before Kagome could speak one of the women who brought the tray of food in walked up "I'll show you"
"Thank you" Sango smiled and followed her to the bathing room
"Eat Kagome" Shippo pushed a tray over
"Thank you shippo" Kagome sat up began munching on some dumplings "This is really good" Kagome smiled
"I know, I couldn't stop eating mine" Shippo crawled in Kagomes lap... Kagome couldn't stop either; once the food was gone Kagome was stuffed and sipped on the Tea, while petting Shippo putting him to sleep. Once the Tea was gone and Shippo was asleep Kagome decided to finaly put on the Kimono on, She gently put shippo on her bed and Walked over to her bad and pulled out the Kimono, she rubbed the soft fabric against her face "Mhhmmmm"
"Kagome?" Sango walked it
"Yes?"
"What are you doing?"
"Nothing" Kagome giggled... Kagome stood and took off her robe and replace it with the kimono, it felt amazing. She tied the green sash around her stomach.
"Wow kagome" Sango smiled "Looks Beautiful on you"
"Thank you Sango" Kagome smiled
"Are you sure you don't know who got it for you?"
"I promise" Kagome could stop rubbing the fabric
"Well we should get some sleep" Sango moved over to crawl in to her bed
"Okay" Kagome moved Shippo over so she could slide in, she quickly fell asleep with shippo.
~~~~~GOOD MORNING~~~~~~
Kagome Awoke with a smile on her face, she felt well rested, that was probably the best night of sleep she had had in a long time "Wake up shippo" Kagome bushed his arm but he just rolled over "Come on shippo we need to get going"
"Nooo" He growled covering his head with the blanket
"Don't make me come in there" Kagome teased but after a moment of waiting shippo hadn't moved "Okay you asked for it" Kagome pulled the blanket down and attacked him with kisses and tickled his stomach
"K-Kagome S-Stop It" Shippo tried to get out, kicking his legs and his laugher filling the room
"Are you going to get up" She groweld
"Y-Yes" Shippo laughed
"You re going to make the poor boy pee on himself" A voice came from behind her "good morning"
"Hello" Kagome noticed it was the headmaster "Can I help you?"
"Just stopping by to make sure you slept well"
"Oh yes thank you, we will be leaving soon" Kagome pulled Shippo into her lap
"Nonsense, stay for breakfast" The old man smiled
"Thank you" Kagome watched as two different girls walked in with a mountain of rice and eggs "You are to kind" Kagome stood and bowed
"My pleasure" The three turned and walked out shutting the door softly.
Back at the boy's room, Inuyasha was just now waking up and so was Miroku
"I must say it was rather quite last night" Miroku scratched his head
"Yes too quite" Inuyasha agreed but his snapped to the door when he heard someone coming
"I hate to make you leave but we need the rooms for today"
"That's fine, Thank you for letting us use them for the night" Miroku stood and bowed "Lets go inuyasha" They boys walked down the hall to the girls room, they walked in to see Them enjoying a nice breakfast
"Hey we didn't get breakfast" Inuyasha snapped
"Here, we are full" Kagome moved so Inuyasha could sit
"Are you sure Kagome-sama" Miroku looked at the pile of food
"Yes, please its way more than any of us could eat" Sango answered
"Thanks" Inuyasha said with a mouthful
Kagome and Sango giggled as the boys pigged out and began talking among themselfs
"Kagome I see that your wearing the Kimono" Miroku cleaned around his mouth showing he was done
"Great down I'm going to smell a spider demon all day" Inuyasha still eating
"Oh I'm sure the scent has faded by now Inuyasha" Kagome rolled her eyed, Soon as they boys were done eating the headmaster walked in
"How was everything Lady's"
"Perfect! Thank you so much" Kagome smiled
"Anything for you Kagome" The old man blushed
"Okay so we have to get going" Inuyasha stood in front of Kagome
"I see Well don't be shy, come by and see us again" The headmaster bowed and left the room
"We shall we" Kagome moved around inuyahsa and began walking down the hallways to leave the building Inuyasha was right on her heels
The group waved as they left well except inuyasha he kept his head forward and his arms crossed "Would it kill you to be nice?" Kagome sighed
"Keh" Inuyasha snorted
It was mid day when Kagome started to feel a little sick
"Inuyasha could we stop for a second" Kagome bent over and placed her hands on her knees
"Why!" Inuyasha didn't turn around
"I think I'm going to be sick" Kagome held her stomach
"Whats wrong?" Sango walked back and placed her hand over her friend forehead "No fever" sango went to rub her friends back but before
"I feel-" Kagome collapsed to the ground with a thud
"Kagome!" Inuyasha jumped back to her "Hey wake up!"
"Kagome" Shippo pulled at her sleeve
"She is a miko huh?" A dark voice appeared behind them
"Who said that" Sango stepped in front of Kagome
"What did you do to kagome" Inuyasha snapped pulling Kagome in to his arms bridal style
"I did nothing, She called to me" The voice chuckled
"The hell she did, what did you do?" Inuyasha snapped
"She is Reacting to me"
"What are you talking about" Shippo asked
"Where are you" Miroku asked
"Right here in front of you"
"Are you behind a barrier" Sango snapped
"No" the voice chuckled "Come" He ordered as a bright green light shot out of Kagome knocking Inuyasha back... Kagome was suspended in mid air in the same position Inuyasha held her in, The group could head a dark laugh as a dark figured appeared next to kagome, the figure leaned in and breathed in kagomes scent "Mhhmmm That's the stuff" The dark form turned in to a man holding Kagome she same way Inuyasha had "She is a strong one" He laughed
The man holding Kagome was Tall, He had short silver hair with bright Red eyes, he was wearing warrior armor "Prefect" he breathed inhaling Kagomes scent again
"Who are you?"
"My name is Takeshi"
"And why should I even take the time to remember you" Inuyasha spat dawning his sword
"Tisk tisk" he shook his head "I wouldn't if I were you"
"Why not" Inuaysha spat
"Well the obvious reason, I have the Miko in my arms" Takeshi Laughed
"Why don't you let her go and fight me like a man?"
"Sorry I can't she is feeding my power" The man inhaled her scent and shuddered "She is so strong, you can have her back when I'm done" the man laughed
"Done doing what!" Miroku yelled
"Why eating her soul" The man laughed an evil laugh
"You ASS!" Inuyasha snapped
"The hell you are" Kagome woke up and placed her hand on his chest and shot her purification power at him
"BITCH!" He yelled and tossed her to the ground "I'll teach you!" Takeshi raised his hand towards Kagomes as a green light swirled in his hand
"Kagome!" Inuyasha yelled as Takeshi sent the ball towards kagome, she screamed and the light engulfed her
"Poison Get back" Miroku yelled pushing Sango back
"KAGOMEEEEEE!" Inuyasha yelled she was completely engulfed in the poison ball, he watched as she curled up in to a ball on the ground as the grass and trees in the area began to rot from the Poison.
