Chapter 2: The Festival
The village was alive with music and laughter. Inuyasha walked into the village with Miroku, both were in their usual garbs. Sango met them as the entered she had on a baby blue kimono with a cherry blossom design on it, her obi was navy. Her hair was let loose falling in inky black waves down her back and glistened in the lighting. Miroku caught himself from gawking but put a lecherous smile on his face and moved quickly to Sango’s side. When Inuyasha saw him begin to move in he shook his head.
‘That damn houshi never learns.’
He caught himself wondering if Kagome was dressed up for the festival as well. This heart leaped into his throat at the thought of Kagome dressed like the women around the village. Miroku approached Sango swiftly and took her hand gently placing a kiss on the back.
“Sango-sama, you look lovely.”
Sango blushed and smiled at Miroku’s gentlemanly gesture. Miroku smiled in return his bang fall into his eyes slightly as they seemed to look through her.
“Sango-sama I would be delighted if you would let me join you for the festival.”
Sango blushed a bit more and nodded her head slightly.
“Of course Houshi-sama.”
As Miroku was about to say something Kagome came to the group a smile on her cheerful face.
“I just put Shippo with the village children. Hello everyone.”
Miroku and Sango greeted her with smiles and hellos. Inuyasha however couldn’t say anything; his voice was caught in his throat as his eyes drift over her features. Kagome could feel his eyes on her; slowly she turned her gaze to his. Inuyasha’s eyes glowed in the light of the night and Kagome could barely keep her breathing in check. His golden orbs flickered with emotions. She swept her gaze over him, she knew him so well yet not. Kagome couldn’t get enough of the way he looked at her when he thought she wasn’t looking, the way his snow white hair shined in the sun and caressed his face in the wind; of how his muscles ripple beneath his shirt…She fought back a cherry red blush. Kagome wanted to know him all though, she hated the fact that he wouldn’t let her in…a grin formed on her face. Tonight she wouldn’t let him out of her sight, tonight she would know. Her soul heated with determination. Sango watched the two in amusement.
‘They are going to be perfect together!!!’ “Ahem…if you two will cease to stare at one another we can go and dance.”
Inuyasha coughed and growled at Sango, he turned his head away so no one could see the pink tint that colored his pale cheeks.
“I don’t know what you’re talkin’ ‘bout! I wasn’t starin’.”
Miroku coughed hoping to hide his chuckle. Kagome smiled and giggled a bit, grabbed Inuyasha’s arm.
“Come on Inuyasha! Sango is right; it is time to enjoy the festival.”
Inuyasha’s blush darkens as she took him by surprise; Kagome dragged him into the festival. Sango grins and chuckles.
‘That’s it Kagome! Be forward with him.’
Miroku smirked lerchously as he noticed Sango not paying attention he slowly slipped his hand down her back to her butt. Sango’s eyebrow twitched in annoyance and she swung around slapped her hand hard across his face.
“HENTAI!!!!”
She growled at him before she tugged his arm into hers and whispered menacingly.
“Another stunt like that tonight Houshi and you won’t be able to stay on your feet long enough to dance with anyone woman here.”
Miroku shook his head furiously.
“No need to do that Lady Sango! My hands are to myself.”
Sango smirked and nodded.
“Good...”
She and Miroku walked together into the crowd of dancing villagers. Two blood red eyes followed them into the festival, the crimson orbs drifted to Kagome’s form among the large group. It hissed maliciously.
“Kagome….you must die.”
Kagome danced with Inuyasha her black hair reminded him of midnight skies when they moved. She looked up at him through her long lashes and smiled.
“I told you it would be fun Inuyasha.”
He couldn’t help but give a small smile at how happy she looked.
“Feh, I don’t see how you think this is fun.”
Kagome just looked into his eyes knowingly and smiled more.
“You know it is.”
Behind them a figure approached sneakily, seeming to sliver between the groups of people. Its dark blood lusty eyes locked on Kagome small frame as she swayed to the soft music her arms around Inuyasha’s neck. The creature licked his dry lips and stood right behind Kagome, it pulled back its claws readying itself to push them through her back. Inuyasha stiffened suddenly and his eyes landed upon a cloaked figure behind Kagome. He quickly pushed her to the side just as the creature thrust his arm forward hoping to end her life quickly but much to its surprise it ended up dragging its jagged nails over Inuyasha’s side. The festival stilled and everyone backed away from the creature and him. Kagome moved behind Inuyasha her worry creased her brows, Miroku and Sango pushed through the crowd ready to help their friend should he need it. Inuyasha growled slightly and raised an eyebrow as he unsheathed his fully Tetsusaiga.
“Who the hell are you and what do you want?! I will only ask once!”
The creature hissed and pulled back its hood, everyone gasped as they saw his face. It seemed to have been patched together with layers of discolored flesh; his lips were a deep red and tight. His red eyes sunk into his mushy looking face, he smirked. His voice was a deep harsh tone.
“My name is Shinji. I come to kill Kagome.”
His eyes moved from every villager to her. Kaede held Shippo Many of the people backed up as his eyes touched their forms, Kagome stood tall with Miroku and Sango behind Inuyasha. The creature watched her with interested eyes.
“Such a little thing, causing all this trouble.”
Inuyasha a deep growl escaped the confines of his chest and his ears laying back on his head; he didn’t like the look this guy was giving his Kagome.
“Enough talk bastard, fight me so I can end this quickly. Cuz you ain’t getttin anywhere near Kagome!”
Shinji brought his eyes to Inuyasha’s red clashing with gold. Shinji could almost feel the anger.
“Very well.”
Shinji took his sword from his hip and pointed it at Kagome.
“Don’t worry little one. I will be with you soon.”
Inuyasha growled louder at the comment and charged at Shinji. Sango and Miroku began to make people run for safety as Keade walked to Kagome and handed her a bow. Kirara made sure the children were where they should be.
“That’s it!!!”
Shinji grinned and waited patiently for Inuyasha to get near him. At the last second he moved to the side and delivered an elbow to Inuyasha’s side. He gasped and turned quickly barely dodging Shinji’s claws. Inuyasha snarled.
“That the best you got?!”
Shinji smirked superiorly and charged at Inuyasha, Inuyasha steadied himself for the attack carefully watching him. He moved to Inuyasha’s right arching his sword sharply, ready to behead him. Inuyasha ducked under the sword and pushed Tetsusaiga into Shinji’s gut. Blood spilled from his lips and his eyes opened in shock, Inuyasha grinned.
“Hmph you’re not so tough.”
Shinji pulled his body back off of the sword. He coughed and glared at his opponent.
“That was purely luck.”
Inuyasha smirked and brought up Tetsusaiga charging at Shinji again. Kagome was tense in worry. Shinji moved out of the way of Inuyasha’s sword just in time, he brought his own sword down and reveled in sadistic pleasure as it ripped through Inuyasha’s shoulder down to his back. Inuyasha bit back his howl of pain, just restraining the urge to fall to his knees. Shinji saw this as the opportunity he needed and charged at Kagome. She gasped and stepped back as he knocked the bow from her hands, he caressed her cheek a animalistic look in his eyes. Sango and Miroku’s heads snapped to where the fight was. They dropped what they were doing and speed towards Kagome and Shinji hoping they could make it in time. Inuyasha’s eyes burned with rage.
“KAGOME!!”
With speed he didn’t know he had, he was at Kagome’s side and cleaved off Shinji’s head off. As the creature’s body hit the ground Inuyasha dropped to his knees, Kagome moved to his side.
“Oh Inuyasha! You’re hurt, let me fix your wounds.”
Inuyasha’s brushes her hands off, his body shock from the strain.
“Feh I don’t need it!”
He ran out into the woods so she wouldn’t see the self anger in his eyes.
‘I almost lost her. He could have taken her from me! How can I be a good mate to her when I can’t even protect her properly?’
As Kagome watched him go her eyes welled with tears. Sango grabbed Miroku and shook her head when he tried to go to Kagome. A crystal tear fell down her cheek.
‘You will tell me what I want to know Inuyasha. I won’t allow you to push me away for long. I’ll hunt you down if I have to.’
