Misfortune Followed Us Home ch.7

The Inu tachi were currently marching rather tiredly down a dusty road. Their “infallible” leader having woken up hours ago was “motivating” his faithful companions to work through their fatigue. Hot, sweaty, and dirt covered, the tachi was not very happy. The dust had mixed with their sweat and well to put a long story short, everyone was in need of a bath. Thankfully there were no demon attacks today, the only problem being the Kami forsaken heat. It was reaching sunset and one certain fearless leader was about to be mutinied upon if he didn’t stop soon.
“Keh. Hurry up! Naraku isn’t going to wait for us to get there,” he shouted.
A small discussion began to occur between the remaining members as he bounded ahead of them.
“Perhaps Kagome-sama, there is something you can do about our overzealous friend,” Miroku asked.
“He won’t jump high enough Miroku, otherwise I would have subdued him by now,” Kagome replied.
“Surely you don’t mean that Kagome,” Sango asked.
“Of course not. I’m just kidding. Never the less I will try to go talk to him.”
“Okaa-san maybe you should just sit him,” Shippo advised.
Kagome gave her son a look before marching up the road trying to catch up to the hanyou. She began to run but exhaustion won and she settled for yelling after him, while stumbling after him.
“Inuyasha, wait up,” she yelled. “Inuyasha! Inuyasha!”
“What wench! Come on we’re wasting daylight! I’ve got to make up for the time you wasted this morning, so if you wanted to stop, there’s your answer. The next time you’ll get up on time, won’t you?” After his tirade the temperamental hanyou resumed bounding up the road.
If Inuyasha had looked behind him he would have seen one very angry teenage miko. Of course he didn’t look behind him, nor did he stop to listen. He even ignored the instincts that began pressuring him to take more notice of his surroundings. If he had done any of these things, he might have noticed the vein throbbing in her forehead or the moment her hands curled into fists or the dangerous swelling of her aura. However the fact of the matter is he didn’t notice any of these things. His next leap ended in a very forceful landing aided by an angry miko, one very unassuming word, and sweet gravity. The tachi completely disregarded him and where he landed. When they came upon his crater they merely walked around it and followed Shippo who was directing them to the nearest hot spring.
A half hour later resulted in a very tired tachi plopping onto the ground in a moderately secure clearing. Moderately because they were in the open, the tree line broke into a small field lush with green grass. A cave would have been more defensible but they were taking what they could get. To add to security Kagome and Miroku were writing barrier sutras. They would be pressed on the trees around camp, each member of the tachi would smear a little bit of blood on the sutra before it was activated and they would be granted access through the barrier. The way it worked was to misdirect a person who approached the barrier and, though the felt they were going straight, direct them around the barrier. Whoever came upon it would not even see the campsite, just more trees. As the sutras were being placed along the perimeter, one straggling hanyou drug his self into camp. Rather than yelling he merely picked a tree and jumped high into the branches. Miroku finished the barrier and Kagome sent Shippo out to find firewood and kindling. She dropped her bag and called Miroku over.
“Miroku, I’m going in.”
“I’ll keep watch lady Kagome.”
The bag was essentially a bag but, it was altered. More like spelled, magical. A not so basic spell was weaved over the object, by a not so nice person, who was currently deceased. A dark miko, she had somehow come in possession of a shikon no kakera. She wove a spell on the bag, the space inside the bag was like another dimension. Inside had been a large room, the walls resembled a cave and it was filled with all sorts of arcane objects. In reality it was like a giant portable storehouse. The appearance inside the bag was based on the person who owned it. It was like it was partially sentient. For Kagome, the well stayed with her.
“Alright,” she sighed. She opened the drawstring wide and stuck her head and arms into the bag. Immediately she felt the wood of a ladder against her fingertips. She climbed the ladder and emerged from a replica of the well. When Kagome first entered the bag she was chasing a shikon no kakera. The dark miko had hidden it in the bag and was feeding off of it to increase her power. After they had defeated her, Kagome had expected to just reach her hand in and pull out the shard. Instead the bag swallowed her up. She had not trained with her powers as much then and it took her a long time before she reached the general area of the shard. She looked around searching pots, caldrons, desks filled with papers on spells and dark magic. Finally she found the shard embedded in the spine of a book on dark magic. As soon as she touched the tainted shard it purified. As if sensing her wishes the environment purified itself. All of the miko’s arcane items, the books, the scrolls, the tools, it all went up in flames. She could see them though they did not touch her. She felt no heat and did not burn. When the light from the flames died down, the landscape had completely changed. Her space had trees whose branches connected to the tree beside it creating shelves. Fireflies floated around and the scent of sakura blossoms floated in the air. In the center sat what looked like the well with a wooden ladder descending into the darkness. Not knowing where else to go, Kagome held tightly onto the shard and climbed down the ladder. She was unsure if it was the right way to go until she fell through the air and landed on her butt in front of a very confused tachi. Once she explained what happened, they all agreed that it would be a useful object and she should keep it for herself. She stored all of the tachi’s equipment in the bag. She made several trips inside the bag bringing out two tents, four sleeping bags, a fire pit, a large pot and several packages of instant ramen. After they set up camp, the tachi sat around the fire pit and filled their empty stomachs with large amounts of ramen.
After dinner Sango and Miroku decided to retire to their tent. Shippo dragged himself into the other one and collapsed onto his sleeping bag. Kagome followed him into the tent. Dropping her bag she went in and grabbed a burlap sack filled with her bathing supplies. Exiting the bag and the tent she called over to Inuyasha that she was taking a bath and then disappeared into the forest.
