InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Finally Strong ❯ Chapter 4 ( Chapter 4 )

Chapter: 4

 

“Where the hell is she? Yeah she was mad, but that doesn't mean Kagome could just leave!” Inuyasha huffed in his sitting position by the well. He had been waiting there since the girl in question left two days ago.

 

His mind really wanted to go after her, but his body wouldn't swallow its pride (Yes, bodies have emotions too!) and apologize. Inuyasha was so deep in his thoughts that he didn't notice the five strong demonic auras approaching at fast speeds until the walked through the clearing.

 

The males looked at him with expressionless eyes. They each had matching blue and green kimono with silver diamonds on the sleeves. They each had swords at their sides.

 

Inuyasha sprang up and drew Tetsusaiga, transforming it. “Who the hell are you?” he snarled.

 

One with dark blue hair in a ponytail replied, “It matters not, half breed. Leave or we shall use force.” He must have been the leader.

 

“Oh, hell no! Tetsusaiga!” he swung his sword at them. They easily dodged. Drawing their own swords, they rushed at him. They didn't reach him.

 

A pink barrier appeared around the half demon. A female voice sounded from behind him. “The heir to the southern lands commands you to stop!”

 

Kagome leaped from the well to stand in front of Inuyasha. Her face was stoic.

 

The guards' eyes widened, for they didn't sense their hime's aura. Quickly they bowed low. She returned it with a nod of her head, which is what her memories told her to do.

 

“Hey, wench! How do you know them? And what's with the `heir to the southern lands' thing?” Inuyasha yelled at her gruffly when she dropped the barrier. The guards' low growls went unnoticed by him.

 

Kagome rolled her eyes at the lack of use of her name, “Do you not notice anything different about me, Inuyasha?”

 

He suddenly seemed to notice the demonic features in his companion. He took a step back, “What the hell?” With a sigh Kagome turned her head to the side, “I'll explain in a minute, they are almost here.”

 

--------------------With The Others--------------------

 

“Lady Sango, do you sense that? There are powerful demonic auras in the direction of the well!”

 

“I do, Houshi-sama. Let's go after it,” Sango turned to Kaede, “Will you watch Shippou, onegai?”

 

Seeing the old miko nod, the taijia and houshi ran to “save” Inuyasha from the danger.

 

As they reached the top of the hill, their weapons drawn, they were surprised at the sight. Inuyasha was sitting next to the well with a bored expression on his face. Five demons in matching kimono were standing alertly next to a female demon. She was digging over a ridiculously familiar yellow bag.

 

Sango lowered her weapon, “Kagome?”

 

The demon lifted her head, a smile on her face. “'Bout time you showed up. Inuyasha is getting impatient.” Their confusion caused her to laugh. The sound was more bell-like than usual.

 

“Then let me explain….” And she began her story.

 

 

“Wow…” Was all Sango could say after the story.

 

“Indeed, “Miroku adds. Then a perverted smile spreads across his face, “My, you are so very beautiful, Kagome-sama, perhaps now you would do me the honor of-” BANG! Horaikotsu left a large bump on the unconscious monk's head. The guards glared at him for his disrespect.

 

Kagome gave him an annoyed look. But it quickly turns into a smile. Her hand went to the chocker at her neck. “Even if I was interested, I couldn't do anything about it. I'm already intended.” This caught her companions' attention. They stared at her in shock as she explained.

 

“Sesshoumaru?! You're intended to that bastard? I'll kill him!” Inuyasha stood up and paced frantically.

 

Kagome came to his defense, “Sesshou-kun is not a bastard! And you will not harm him! Not that you could.” She muttered the last part, fully knowing he could still hear her.

 

“Sesshou-kun!” Inuyasha mimicked. Kagome growled low in her throat. “I'm going to be with him whether you like it or not! So shut it, will you!” Unless he found someone else when I was gone. The thought made Kagome's heart sink. No…No! He wouldn't do that to me! It's only been 13 years! That's nothing to a youkai…. No, he wouldn't… he wouldn't.

 

The doubt still stuck to her heart. Kagome's companions spoke amongst themselves, not noticing their friend's sudden melancholy. Only the guards seemed to understand. They looked to each other and nodded, a decision made. They would head back to the southern lands come tomorrow. They would settle her fears as soon as possible. It wouldn't do to have her be overly emotional when she reaches her first heat.

 

The heat that just happens to start in a month.
