Kagome knelt before the young fox kit, “We’re just going to
go to my time for a little bit. Which
reminds me, do you know where everyone is?
We didn’t see anyone on the way here.”
“Oh! They told me to
tell you that they’re all in the woods somewhere, and that you shouldn’t bother
looking for them. I meant to tell you,
but I got sidetracked.”
“I see,” Kagome said as her heart sank, “could you tell them
we’ll be back soon? I don’t know how
long Venia-chan and Tora-kun intend to stay, but however long it is, we’ll be
back.”
“Okay! Don’t forget
that chocolate stuff!”
“I won’t!” Kagome
called as she joined the others at the well.
Shippo waved at the four figures at the well and watched as
they disappeared. Turning around and
whistling, Shippo watched as Miroku, Sango, Lunia, Kaede, and Kagura stepped
out from the nearby bushes, brushed themselves off, and smirked at one another.
It would be very interesting when the four came back, and
none of the six that were left behind intended to miss it.

Chapter Eleven:
Simply Irresistible
At the Higurashi Shrine....
“Ramen!”
“White chocolate chip cookies with macadamia nuts, please!”
Mrs. Higurashi stepped back a step, for she hadn’t expected
so much bravado when she’d asked if anyone wanted anything to eat.
“All right, the Ramen will be done shortly, and the cookies
will have to take a while. Kagome,
Venita, do you two girls want anything to eat?”
“No thanks, Mom.”
“No thank you, Mrs. Higurashi.”
Watching as Inu-Yasha nearly permanently attached himself to
Mrs. Higurashi’s hip, Kagome and Venita couldn’t help but giggle as they
watched the hanyou scurry out of Mrs. Higurashi’s way as she went about putting
the Ramen in the microwave and begin making Tora’s treat.
Speaking of the jovial tiger, Tora sat patiently right
outside the kitchen door, watching as his treat was being prepared. He intended to be the only one, other than
Mrs. Higurashi of course, to get his hands on the plate of cookies. He’d even gone so far as to change into a
type of half demon form. His goal was
to conserve energy, yet still manage to be cute and irresistible.
“Soon I shall have within my possession the precious white
chocolate chip and macadamia nut cookies!”
Tora thought as his striped tail swished back and forth.
“Aww look, K-chan,” Venita said as she rummaged through her
bag, “Tora-kun’s got his tail.”
“And ears, Ookami-sama!”
Tora said jovially as his ears twitched, “You like?”
“It looks good, Tora-san.
It really does.” Kagome said as
she watched Inu-Yasha happily snatch his Ramen from her mother.
“Arigatou, K-chan!”
“You’re welcome,” Kagome said as she looked over to where
Venita was trying to pull off the socks Tora had insisted she wear, “what’s the
matter, Venia-chan?”
Fighting with the socks for a little while longer, Venita
finally stuffed them into a corner her bag with a smile, “Just getting my ‘Kyo’
clothes out. I just wish I could at
least go out as Leota. That way
Tora-san wouldn’t be able to call me a cross dresser.”
Ears twitching at the sound of his name, Tora turned his head
and smiled, looking on as Inu-Yasha slurped the remainder of his Ramen and placed
the plastic cup into the trashcan Kagome had shown him earlier.
“I don’t see why you couldn’t. I suppose you could just say that you’re Kyo’s even more
aggressive sister.”
Venita’s eyes brightened at the idea, “Wow I really must
be stupid. I never thought of that,
K-chan! Heh, if Yuka and Eri thought
Kyo was bad, wait until they meet me!”
“No kidding, Ookami-sama.
You’re ruthless.”
“Why thank you.”
Venita said as she grinned evilly.
“You’re quite welcome, Ookami-sama.” Tora said, his tail making idle loops.
“So where’s my Kouga-kun?”
At Venita’s question, Tora’s tail became a tangled knot. He sat untying it as he answered.
“I can’t tell you.”
“You can’t or you won’t?”
Tora pretended to think it through, “Um, hm, I’d have to say
both.”
“Well why can’t you?”
“Kouga-sama won’t let me.”
“All right, why won’t you?”
“I won’t let me.”
Tora smirked as the wolf woman’s anger became more and more apparent.
Rather than attack him with any sharp object, as Tora would
have preferred she’d done, Venita merely sat down crosslegged on the floor with
her head in her hands.
Surprisingly, Inu-Yasha was the first one to glare at Tora,
followed quickly by Kagome, who even threw in a scowl and a shake her head.
Tora walked over to his saddened friend, placed an arm around
her shoulders and said, “I’m still not gonna tell you where he is.”
For that, Venita punched Tora in the stomach, grabbed her
clothes, and marched off to the bathroom.
“Hn, you deserved it.”
Inu-Yasha said dismissively.
Smiling, Tora said, “Well at least that’s the Ookami-sama I
know. I rather she hit me than
cry. It’s weird seeing Ookami-sama cry,
I don’t know how to explain it, but it just is.”
“We know what you mean,” Kagome said as she looked through
her stack of schoolbooks, “but you still deserved it.”
“I know.” Tora
replied jovially.
“Tora-san, your cookies are ready,” Mrs. Higurashi said as
she came out with a plate of the aforementioned treat, “my, my, my, don’t you
look anxious?”
Indeed Tora did look anxious, for his tail was swishing from
side-to-side on the floor and his green eyes were in their ‘pleading mode’,
“They smell good, Mrs. Higurashi, thank you oh so very much!”
“You’re welcome, Tora-san.
Enjoy.”
“Oh I shall, I shall!
Mine! No touch!” Tora said as he quickly turned around to
block Buyo’s wandering paw.
“Meow.” Buyo
protested as the defeated cat walked over to the couch and plopped down upon
it.
Venita came back out wearing her usual khakis, this time with
an ocean blue halter top, silver crescent moon earrings, five bracelets on each
wrist, and a silver anklet upon each ankle; all of which jingled whenever she
walked. The last thing to appear was
the sword on her left hip; something her male counterpart also wore just to
stop stupid people from talking to him.
Giving Tora a glare of her own, Venita’s hair suddenly changed from
white to black, and her eyes from cobalt blue to an emerald green. Reaching into her pocket, the human form of
Venita pulled out a black hair tie and pulled back her dark tresses into a high
ponytail.
She turned to Kagome, “Do I look menacing enough?”
“I don’t know. Don’t
you need a necklace?”
The older woman smiled, “I didn’t know if I should wear it or
not. I decided against it just because
I thought all this silver looked good enough.”
“True, true. I think
Yuka and Eri will definitely think twice about even thinking about coming over
to talk to me.”
“That’s exactly what I want them to do.” Venita smiled cynically with a twinkle in
her eyes.
“Personally,” Tora began with a mouthful of cookie, “I think
you should paint your fingernails black.
Then you’d really fit the part.”
Looking at Tora from the corner of her eye, Venita stuck her
tongue out at him, “No thank you. I
don’t want to bother with nail polish.
It’s too messy for my tastes.”
“So, are you gonna go by Leota, then?” Inu-Yasha asked from his place against the
wall.
“I’m supposing so, if that’s all right with everyone?”
“It’s fine with me.”
Kagome smiled.
“Me too.” Tora
smirked, another cookie having been shoved into his mouth.
“Doesn’t matter to me.”
“All right then, Leota it is!” Kagome said cheerily, “It’s a
good thing I didn’t banish that name from this world, huh Ota-chan?”
“No kiddin’, I don’t know what I’d do if you’d
banished that name from here.” Leota
said with a smile as she watched Tora lick the crumbs from the plate his
cookies had once occupied.
Aforementioned tiger smirked as he licked his lips, “Yummy.”
“I take it you enjoyed your treat?” Leota asked, one eyebrow raised.
“Of course I did, Ookami-sama!” Tora grinned, changing his
form to that of a full human, “What’re we gonna do now?”
“Yeah, what’re we supposed to be doing that you’d guarantee
is fun?” Inu-Yasha asked, growing very
suspicious of the two full humans across the room.
“Ugh, would you like some cheese with your ‘whine’? Relax, it’ll be fun!” Leota smiled.
“What will be fun?”
Inu-Yasha prompted.
“My plans.”
“What kind of plans?”
“The kind I know.”
“Which are?”
“The kind you don’t know.”
Leota smiled, becoming extremely amused the more Inu-Yasha tried getting
a direct answer.
Growling to himself, Inu-Yasha closed his eyes as he leaned
his head back onto the wall he sat against.
“Stupid elusive woman,” Inu-Yasha thought as he heard
the unmistakable sounds of Kagome and Leota chatting like birds twittering in
the trees, “what are she and Tora up to, anyhow? Why’d they wanna come here and what’re we supposed to do? And why does everyone keep goin’ into the
woods for long periods of time? What do
they do out there and why can’t Kagome or me go with them?”
“Hey, Inu-Yasha-san?”
Tora’s voice broke into the hanyou’s thoughts.
“What?”
“Can I talk to you for a minute?”
“About what?”
“Something important.”
Tora said, his voice filled with urgency.
“All right,” Inu-Yasha said as he grabbed the Tetsusaiga and
stood up, “it’s better than having to listen to those two ramble on and
on.”
“I’d imagine so.”
Looking over their shoulders at the still-talking girls, Tora
and Inu-Yasha made their way outside and sat by the God Tree.
“So what did you wanna talk about?” Inu-Yasha asked, a little curious as to the reasoning behind
everything Tora and Venita said and did.
Tora looked at the hanyou until the latter thought he’d have
to hit the tiger, “Do you love Kagome-san?”
