Chapter 6

Play Time

Letting go of the horse�s reins, Kagome stepped closer to the youkai, taking a better look at him. Deep amber eyes stared back at her, triangle shaped dog ears sat, partially hidden in thick silver hair, twitching slightly, catching the sounds that drifted on the air. �He has � dog ears; � I wonder if they�re as soft as they look.� He looked startled for a moment before he quickly hid it. A small smirk worked it�s way to his lips, when he noticed her staring at him with a surprised look, and a light blush staining her cheeks.
�Looks like Naraku sent another one, and he�s getting pretty desperate if he�s deceiving more intelligent youkai. I guess he doesn�t want to take any more chances of someone finding out the truth,� Kagome thought continuing to study him.
�This one is different though. He has a youkai aura but it�s off, meaning that he must be a hanyou� I wonder what.. that glow is?� When he cocked an eyebrow at her, it snapped her from her thoughts her blush spreading a little. �What do you want,� Kagome asked with a glare at his half-amused expression.
�You.�
�What,� Kagome squeaked at his bluntness.
�Keh, don�t waste my time, bitch. You�re coming back with me to the Eastern Lord�s house.�
�How dare you call me that, dog boy,� Kagome retorted, glaring at him as she took a step back. �I don�t feel any evil in his aura. How did Naraku deceive him and why did he this hanyou?� �Who are you?�
�My name is Inuyasha, and you�re coming back with me. That�s all you need to know.�
�You can try, but I�m not going back there!� �He�s not close enough, he�ll probably catch the pouch if I throw one now.� Kagome tucked the pouch back into her obi, and unhooked her bow from the saddle horn, then grabbed an arrow notching it. �There�s no way I�ll be able to hit him, but maybe I can distract him.�
�You know how to use that,� Inuyasha taunted, his smirk widening. He walked closer to her, touching the end of the arrow pointed at his chest with a claw.
�Step back or I will shoot you,� Kagome stuttered backing away from him, she pulled the arrow back readying to fire, wincing in pain. Inuyasha grabbed the arrow with one hand and reached for the bow with the other. He pulled them from her grasp, tossing them to the side. Kagome gasped and backed away from him, but Inuyasha quickly grabbed her arm, and pulled her stumbling into his chest.
Kagome fought back with her injured hand, striking at his arms and chest, wincing in pain. Inuyasha grabbed her injured arm, halting her assault. The miko shifted her weight and brought a knee up, hoping to make contact; but he shifted with her, blocking her with his leg. �I really don�t want to hurt him, but he leaves me no choice.� Kagome flattened her captured hand against his chest, her hand beginning to glow pink with a weak blast of miko energy.
Inuyasha feeling the slight burn of energy, spun her around, and placed her back against his chest. He wrapped one arm around her waist, the other going across her chest, pinning her arms to her side. �You really don�t like to play very fair do you,� he whispered, his warm breath drifting over her, caressing her ear.
�I - �
�Keh, I like to play rough,� Inuyasha breathed over her ear, taunting her, one hand shifting to run a claw down her arm.
�Let me go,� Kagome pleaded, twisting in his arms.
�Why should I?�
�Because I�m not the one you�re after.�
Inuyasha leaned in closer to her neck, his nose lightly brushing against her skin as he breathed in her scent before whispering, �Your scent is the same one I�ve been following since I picked it up in Meiyo�s room.�
�I - 1 didn�t kill the Lord, I-� Kagome stammered, seeing Shippou headed towards her bow.
�You what?�
�I.. tried to help him,� Kagome whispered, sadness creeping into her voice. She ceased her struggles and leaned back in to his chest, hoping to keep him distracted as she changed tactics.
�Keh.�
�Why did Naraku send you?�
�Naraku, eh? No respect for the Lord?�
�I have no respect for someone that kidnapped me!�
�Kidnapped?�
�Fox Fire,� Shippou called out, sending a green flame along Inuyasha�s back, though the kitsune�s magic did no damage to the red haori. As the flames died down, amber eyes turned to glare at him, but the magic did have an effect, causing Inuyasha to loosen his hold around Kagome. She stomped down on his foot, and elbowed him in the stomach; then turned around in his arms looking up into eyes.
�I�m sorry,� she softly whispered, before pulling out one of the small pouches of herbs and smashing it into Inuyasha�s face. He stumbled back as Kagome and Shippou ran to their wayward horse. They quickly climbed into the saddle, Kagome urging the horse into a run.
She looked back to see Inuyasha fall to the ground, his senses overwhelmed by the herbs. Kagome shut her eyes, ashamed of having done that to him, but continued on knowing that she couldn�t stop.

Inuyasha�s head swam as he slowly awaked, a sharp pain pounded through his head, causing him to squint at the setting sun. A slight groan escaped him as he sat up, and glanced around. The memory of Kagome looking into his eyes and her softly spoken words flashing in his mind. �Keh, that stupid, sneaky bitch.� He climbed to his feet, his senses still too overwhelmed to concentrate on his surroundings.
Inuyasha walked unsteadily to the side of the road and sat down, propping himself up against a tree. He breathed deeply, inhaling the scents of the forest, hoping that it would help clear his head. The inu-hanyou closed his eyes, resting his head back against the tree, irritation clearly written across his features. �There�s no way that I can track her now, I�ll have to wait till my head clears.�
Inuyasha slowly sat up and glanced around, checking his surroundings as best as he could in his current state. He gathered his legs under him and jumped to one of the higher branches of the tree he was leaning on. He dug his claws into the hardwood as he misjudged the height, his balance off because of the drugging effect of the herb. The hanyou carefully settled against the tree�s trunk, adjusting the antique sword at his side and dangled one leg over the wide branch. He continued to breathe deeply, his head clearing a little more as time wore on. �Why did she look so much like her,� were his last thoughts, as he fell in to a light doze.

Dusk was fast approaching when Kagome finally reined the horse to a stop in a small clearing. She dismounted and awkwardly tied the stallion to the brush lining a stream before quickly removing their supplies. Shippou jumped on to her shoulder as she carried their provisions over to the lee of an ancient tree; hoping that it would offer some protection from being spotted. The young miko dropped their equipment before following suit, deciding to rest a moment.
�Kagome,� the kitsune questioned, the girl having not said much all day.
�Hai, Shippou?�
�Are you ok?�
�I�m fine, why?�
�You�ve been quiet since we ran from that youkai.�
�I�m just worried; I know he will follow us.�
�Oh,� Shippou replied, a look of anxiety crossing his face.
�Don�t worry so much Shippou-chan. He is not like the other youkai; I don�t think he will actually harm us. Anyway it shouldn�t be any problem to get away from him again, if he catches up.� Kagome said, trying to sooth the kit. �Though I know he will not stop hunting us,� Kagome thought to herself. �Now enough of all this, lets get a fire going so that we can eat.�
�Hai,� Shippou said before bounding into the trees to complete his nightly task of gathering wood. Kagome shook her head at the small kitsune, a smile tugging at her lips as she collected her cooking pot and headed down to the spring to fill it.
The Miko returned to camp a couple of minutes later, and dropped to her knees; quickly digging a small fire pit. She arranged Shippou�s first pile of deadfall and started a cheery blaze. She then hastily pulled a hearty stew together and placed if over the licking flames along with a bowl of rice and a small pot of tea. She set back to survey her work before rolling out their futon and settling down to await their meal.
The pair of travelers sat around the fire finishing their supper, the crackling of wood the only thing disturbing the peace. Kagome sighed to herself, pausing with her chopsticks half way to her lips. �I hope Inuyasha is alright. I know he�s probably furious right now, but hopefully his temper will have cooled down by the time he catches up to us. Otherwise I don�t know how we�ll be able to handle him.� Kagome slowly finished eating without realizing, her thoughts elsewhere.
The young woman collected their used bowls, chopsticks, her bathing supplies and the clean light blue yukata before heading down to the stream. Shippou followed closely behind her, he quickly stripped at the water�s edge and jumped in. Kagome dropped to her knees, and began dipping the bowls one at a time into the water. She scoured each of them with sand until they were clean. Kagome placed the clean utensils to the side, then stripped and waded into the water, splashing Shippou slightly with a smile.
The miko walked back to camp twenty minutes later, carrying the bowls, her bathing supplies and the cleaned, still damp yellow yukata. She spread the wet yukata out to dry near the fire, and then quickly repacked the bowls and bathing supplies. Kagome banked the fire before settling into the futon next to Shippou, cuddling the small kitsune close to her.

Kagome lay awake staring into the flickering flames, unable to sleep. She rolled to her back trying to get comfortable, the hour late and the moon already high in the sky. Shippou shifted in his sleep drawing closer to her side. He released a contented sigh, clutching her yukata in his tiny hands. The young woman reached out and gently ran her fingers through the sleeping kitsune�s hair. She shifted slightly before settling down again, trying to sleep.

Kagome ran through the dark forest, being hunted. The sinister presence drew ever closer, pushing her forward, never stopping, never letting up. She tripped over an unseen root and fell hard to the cold ground, shadows closed in around her, cloaking her hunter.
The miko could feel him drawing closer, his evil aura washing over her, drowning her in its intensity. Cold fingers reached out, grasping at her robe and hair. She struck out trying to force the thing back but it would not let go. The moon momentarily illuminated the figure before her, blood red eyes stared down at her, a malicious smirk twisting the persons face.

The young woman awoke with a start, a cold sweat coating her forehead and dampening her yukata. She sat up breathing heavily, her pulse racing, and the blanket pooling in her lap. She dropped her head into her hands, the recent nightmare replaying in her mind.
Kagome shakily climbed to her feet and padded down to the small creek, dropping to her knees on the bank. She dipped her fingers into the cool water and splashed it over her face and arms. Hoping that it would help to rid her of the clammy feeling clinging to her.
The miko stared out across the moonlit clearing, her thoughts chaotic, never settling on one thing. The young woman took sip of water and splashed her face again before heading back to camp. She quickly added more wood to the fire before curling up on her futon, the blanket wrapped around her and the kit.

Inuyasha glared up at the cloudy night sky, trying to shift through the scents that drifted in the air. A low growl escaped him when he was still unable to differentiate between all of the scents. He settled back against the tree letting his mind wonder when he felt a prick on his cheek. Another annoyed growl escaped him as he smacked his hand against his cheek. He removed his hand and glared as a tiny flea youkai floating into his palm. �Lord -,� The tiny youkai started when he pulled himself together after being squashed.
�Spare me. What do you want?�
�Lady Sango -�
�You�re early.�
�And Miroku sent for me almost as soon as they arrived back to the village,� Myouga continued as if Inuyasha had not interrupted him.
�Keh. I told them to wait a week.�
�They were worried that it was something serious.�
�Meiyo�s dead. Supposedly killed by a miko, I�ve been tracking the one accused of doing it.�
�This is terrible -�
�I caught up to her earlier,� Inuyasha interrupted. �Stupid wench smashed some powder in my face; I haven�t been able to smell straight since.�
�Why would a miko kill a youkai lord like Meiyo?�
�Keh. I don�t think she did. She spouted some stupid shit about Naraku kidnapping her, and about trying to help Meiyo. Naraku was the one who sent for me. Her scent along with Naraku�s and a dozen others was in Meiyo�s room.�
�Naraku? What was the Lord of the North doing there? None of this adds up, but if she didn�t do it, she was at least there and may know more about what is going on,� The tiny youkai stated.
�Why do think I�m trying to hunt her down. Something wasn�t right from the beginning. Naraku didn�t smell right for a human, the guards claim that she purified Meiyo because there was no wounds on him, but if she did there wouldn�t have been a body left, plus there was the smell of youkai blood in the room.�
�This is very disturbing, something big is going on, it doesn�t look good,� Myouga said. �If word gets out that Lord Meiyo is dead, humans are in for a lot of trouble from youkai.�
�Don�t you think I know that,� Inuyasha growled angrily. �Look, you head back to the village and tell Miroku and Sango what�s going on. I�ll keep following the wench.�
�Yes Master Inuyasha,� Myouga said before disappearing into the night.
�Stupid flea.� Inuyasha muttered, relaxing back against the tree, to try to get some sleep for an early start in the morning.

Inuyasha woke just as the sun was beginning to peak over the horizon, sending pink fingers of light stretching across the forest. The inu-hanyou breathed deeply, taking in the morning air, an arrogant smirk working its way to his lips as it seemed that the affects of the powder had worn off. He lazily stretched before jumping silently to the ground and began searching out Kagome�s scent. His smirk widening when he picked it up. Inuyasha sprinted off, following her faint trail using his youkai speed.
After running for a few hours, Inuyasha slowed his pace, as Kagome�s scent grew stronger. He silently crept forward, picking up a light scent of smoke as he drew closer. He cautiously stepped into the clearing, scanning the area noticing that the only thing visible was the horse tied near the stream. He silently walked across the clearing; following Kagome�s scent toward the stream, drawing closer to a large tree.
When Inuyasha rounded the tree he could see the remnants of a small fire, a tiny wisp of smoke curling upwards in the morning light, a figure laid asleep, wrapped in blankets between the tree and the fire, black hair sprayed across the blankets. Inuyasha drew closer to the girl; he knelt down beside her, checking to make sure she was a sleep. He gently rolled her to her back, and away from the small kitsune curled up at her side. He paused, watching her take slow breaths of deep sleep, assuring him that she hadn�t awoke.
The hanyou leaned over, and gripped her arms, pinning them to her sides, before straddling her legs. He gently shook her several times, rousing her from sleep. Kagome�s eyes fluttered in her half awakened state, and tried to stretch but Inuyasha�s grip held firm, keeping her in place. Her eyes instantly snapped open, and she yelped in surprise at seeing his slightly fuzzy outline looming above her. The miko began struggling in his grip, glaring up into his amused amber eyes.
