Sept. 25, 2004 A/N: so sorry that it took me this long to update… but it
took me a little while to figure out how to end this chapter… so? What do you think? Like it? Hate it?
Please let me know! Also, I didn’t get much feed back on Friendly Person
on
Chap. 30 ::pouts & sniffles:: I’m
done…. Oh, I suppose I forgot my disclaimer on the first chap, so here it is:
all Inu-Yasha characters belong to Takahashi, Rumiko-sama. Any names you don’t
recognize from the series are most likely mine. :) Thank you!
Chapter Two:
Designated Targets
Kagome couldn’t move.
Tora’s comment had startled her.
She was so stunned that had no time to notice that Tora had lifted her
over his shoulder and jumped into the well.
Only when he jumped out did she notice the birds singing.
“Put me down, Tora!”
Kagome hissed, not even bothering to yell at him. Yelling was strictly reserved for Inu-Yasha.
“No.” Tora replied,
bounding over the grass towards Kaede’s hut.
About to argue with him some more, Kagome thought she saw a
flash of red to her right. When the
red-clothed figure landed in front of them, Tora stopped, putting Kagome down
on her own two feet.
“What took you so long?”
“Thanks for saying hello...” Kagome thought, sighing
inwardly at the way the hanyou treated her, “I had to get a few more things
packed. Wouldn’t want to come here
unprepared.”
Tora looked from Inu-Yasha to Kagome, his infamous
‘matchmaker mode’ engaged. He was about
to say something, but was stopped when Inu-Yasha looked at him with a glare.
“Why does she smell like you?”
“Pardon?” Tora asked,
knowing what he meant, yet completely clueless at the same time.
“Don’t play dumb with me!” Inu-Yasha growled, not at all
liking the way Tora’s scent clung to Kagome as his own probably never would,
“Your scent is all over her, Tora, and I wanna know why!”
“Oh, I can explain that,” Tora said with a smile, “I had to
‘save’ Kagome from her pesky friends and we hugged for a little while. That’s all it was, Inu-Yasha, just a hug.”
“If it was ‘just a hug’, how come your scent is everywhere
on her?”
Tora shrugged as he grinned, “Don’t you remember? I’m a jovial pervert, my scent clings to all
the pretty girls. I have no controverover it, honest!”
Ine>Inu-Yasha growled again, and inwardly smiled as he thought of
what the former Kaji might have done if she’d been here, “Heh, she’d
probably hit him over the head with a tree branch or something.”
Just thinking about the former Kaji, who had been named as
such because of the fire she wielded, made Inu-Yasha’s heart sink. Kaji had been like an older sister to them
all, playing pranks, giving advice, and just being one of them. Then the curse that had been placed upon her
five hundred years before had been broken.
Kaji had been freed of her fully human body.
And then she’d left them.
Inu-Yasha and the others had waited a few days on the cliff
for Venita, Kaji’s demon form’s name, to return to them; however, no such luck
would befall them. Instead, they all
headed back to Kaede’s village, Kagura included, since she could not think of
anywhere better to go. She had at first
been distant from them, scowling and leaving whenever she’d gotten the
chance. Now, though, Kagura even
participated in helping around the village, honing the new abilities of wind
given to her by the bracelet that Kaji had given up, starting a chain of events
that threatened Kaji’s life if she did matemate with a wind entity within seven
days of the removal of the bracelet.
Even Lunia, the moon goddess from the Inside, had decided to
stay with them in the village for a while.
Sometimes she would be able to know Venita’s health, and would report it
to the rest of them, but she could tell no more than she was fine. Insteshe she would tell the stories of
Venita’s life, or a tale native only to the Inside, which was always fun to
listen to, even Inu-Yasha had to admit.
Kagome’s sweet voice broke into his thoughts, “Inu-Yasha?”
“Hm?”
“What are you thinking about?”
Inu-Yasha looked away, “Nothin’.”
“Oh.”
“Can’t they think of anything better to say?”
Tora thought as his ‘matchmaker mode’ began going into overdrive, “I wish
Venita-sama were here. That way we
could plot together, and I’d probably not be stuck on the idea of
telling them loving each other deeply is the only way to kill Naraku because he
hates love. Inu-Yasha would kill
me once he realized I’dckedcked him, and Kagome.....”
Tora tried to not dwell on the subject. Kagome would suddenly adopt Venita-sama’s
way of thinking, and poor Tora would rather be ripped to shreds with blades of
grass than be on the wrong end of Kagome’s anger.
Finally Kaede’s hut came into view, Shippo playing out front
with Kirara. Upon seeing Inu-Yasha,
Kagome, and Tora behind them, the young kit began rushing up the hill to greet
them. He plowed into Tora first,
snuggling up against his shoulder, and then bounced over to Kagome’s arms. Shippo smiled at Inu-Yasha, who cast him an
annoyed look, and then turned back to Kagome.
“I’m so glad you came back, Kagome! We were afraid you’d never come back! Didn’t you miss us?”
Kagome put a smile on her face, “Of course I missed
you, Shippo-chan. Here, I even brought
you something.”
Digging through her bag, Kagome began looking for the piece
of chocolate she’d packed just for Shippo, “I can’t find it! But I know I put it in here!”
Tora put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a square of
chocolate, “I got it, Kagome-san. You
had almost left it behind on the counter, but I got it. Here you go, Shippo-chan.”
Kagome smiled at Tora, watching as Shippo snatched the
chocolate with barely-heard words of thanks.
As Shippo stuffed his face with the square, Miroku and Sango came out to
greet them as well.
“Welcome back, Kagome.”
Sango said, keeping one eye trained on Miroku’s hand as though it were a
poisonous spider.
Meanwhile, in the trees nearby...
Two eyes aged with wisdom watched the group, mainly focusing
on Inu-Yasha and Kagome, “I must make it my number one priority to
get those two together, and I shall use Tora to help me.”
The figure behind a large tree moved from their place to head
off in the direction of a different village, hopefully to find help to initiate
their plan.
A/N: must explain this because I feel
like it: the “their” in the last sentence is only one person, whom is
going to enlist the help of Tora-kun… thought I should point that out…
