Jinx: Jell-O is evil!!!!!!!

Cindy: What?!

Mike: I think its best that you don't ask.

Chapter 4

Jinx had gone to check on the noise that she had heard coming from the back door. She knew there would be intruders in the house and she was ready to defend her sister with her life. (Jinx: *happily eats her pudding* Mike: *evil laughter* Cindy: don't even. Mike: what? Cindy: I know what you're going to do. Mike: *acts innocent*)

When she skidded to a stop in front of the back door she saw a blazing arrow come through a window and land at the door way that lead back to Kagome. Jinx turned to leave but all of a sudden a fire erupted in front of her blocking her path. Jinx heard the girl call for her but there was nothing she could do to get to her from inside the house. `Damn I can't get to her my way is blocked, I have to break out of here and go around the front to see if I could reach her from there.' She turned and ran toward the door, throwing all of her weight against it in an effort to open it. She tried several times but the door wouldn't budge.

It was getting harder to breath in the house with the smoke getting so thick. She then looked at the window where the arrow had come in, `this is my last chance to get out; I have to break through this window in order to get to Kagome. I am not going to let her die when she has just lost her mother in this attack.' Jinx readied herself and took a running start and jumped through the window shattering it into a million pieces. She landed with a sickening thud, as she lay there on the ground trying to breathe in fresh air. Then she heard the house rumble as it started to collapse. Jinx looked on in horror at the thought of her sister still being trapped inside their once cozy home. She slowly stood up on shaky legs, and began making her way to the front of the smoldering house, but by the time she got there it had totally collapsed and all that was left was a heap of wood burning in the place where a house once stood, a house that she will never forget. (Mike: *sneaks up behind jinx and steals her pudding* Jinx: HEY! *sob* Cindy: *sigh* Mike, I told you not too!)

Jinx lowered her head in shame, collapsing to the cold ground once again; she had failed to save her sister from this evil. She allowed the only family she had left to die in the fire. Jinx was heartbroken she was left all alone, once again.

Kagome had been her only family since her mother had been killed. She had tried her best throughout the years to protect her but today she had failed. She raised her head and howled a heart wrenched cry out over the area as she mourned the death of her once happy family. Slowly getting back up she went to where she had seen Mary fall to her death. Jinx didn't even notice the stabs of pain that racked through her tired body, trailing a stream of blood as she limped towards her fallen companion, but she didn't care. When she found her she whined as she lowered herself down and rested her head on the dead woman's back. Her tears flowed freely and another howl ripped through the area asking her for forgiveness for failing to save her daughter. (Jinx: *sob* Cindy he stole my pudding! Cindy: yes I know *glares at mike* Mike, give her back her pudding! Mike: let me think about it…………no! *runs away*)

Jinx had stayed like this for a while when she noticed the scent of two strangers. One of the scents was familiar to her, she remembered chasing after this scent as it was trying to reach her sister once before. She growled deep and menacing in her throat as she bared her sharp fangs, she would not allow this stranger to get away with killing her family. She would hunt him down and make him pay for what he did. She slowly got up on shaky feet. She knew that she would have to allow her body to heal before she went after him. `I will find him and when I do he will pay with his life.' Growled Jinx as she left Mary and headed towards the forest where the scent of the stranger was strongest.

---------------------------------------------

Kagome started to wake up from her ordeal. She slowly opened her eyes, at first all she could see was a blur but after a few minutes her vision started to clear. She could see her hair hanging in front of her face and there was some silver mixed in with hers, she noticed that the ground was moving as though she was being carried. She started to move and lifted her head; all she saw was forest, no sign of the village where she had lived with her mother. Her eyes grew big as memories started to flood back as she remembered what had happened. They had been attacked and her mother was killed by one of the settlers' bullets, she had seen when she collapsed outside and tried to reach her, Jinx had stopped her and had pulled her to the floor as another bullet nearly killed her if Jinx had not been there to protect her. `Jinx, where is Jinx? I have to find her.' She thought as she started to franticly move to get the attention of the person carrying her.

Inuyasha felt the girl wake up she had begun to struggle slightly. He had been traveling at the back of his pack waiting for her to wake up. He didn't want the rest of his men to see the girl until she was fully awake and alert. There was something about her that he couldn't figure out and he was going to get to the bottom of it. He felt her move and push against his back then he heard her voice for the first time, it was a low sweet voice that sounded pleasing to his hanyou ears as he heard her say, "Please, please let me down." Inuyasha stopped and let the beautiful girl off his shoulders; he gently placed her on the ground kneeling in front of her.

Kagome slowly raised her head to see who had been carrying her away from danger; she knew that this person must have saved her from the burning house or she surely would have died there. What she saw surprised her; he was an Indian the very people that had attacked her village, she scooted back away from the silver haired man. She came face to face with his golden eyes; they were so beautiful that it seemed to bore into her very soul, she could hardly move. (Jinx: *pout* Mike: hey Jinx, do you really want your pudding back? Jinx: yes *pout*. Mike: ok here ya go. *Gives Jinx pudding but fakes out* just kidding! Jinx: *sob* Cindy: *sigh*)

Inuyasha got his first good look at those beautiful blue eyes; they were as blue as the sky and they seemed to have a life all their own. He saw her back away from him as their eyes locked for the first time. She was scared, the scent of her fear reached Inuyasha's nose, he growled deep in his throat as a warning for her not to move any further away. Kagome stopped and looked at the silver haired man, `is he growling? Why would he growl?' she thought. Then she noticed that he had dog-ears atop his head, cute white fluffy triangles sitting perfectly on his head in a mess of his sliver mane, they moved from side to side taking in all the sounds of the forest and processed them, `aw, those are so cute, I wonder if I can touch them?' Without even thinking about what she was doing she slowly reached a hand up and started to scratch one of the cute triangles as if sitting there waiting for attention.

Inuyasha's eyes widen as he saw the girl reach up and touch one of his ears; she started to scratch it ever so gently.

This was a whole new feeling for him, no one has ever touched his ears the way she did. He started to feel relaxed and he closed his eyes as he lowered his head to give her better access, a purr started to form in his chest as she continued to scratch and massage his ear. `What is she doing to me? I have never felt this way before. She is scratching my ear and it really feels good' thought Inuyasha. Then he heard her giggle and he snapped his eyes open and pulled away from her.

Kagome noticed that when he pulled away from her he had a confused and hurt look on his face. `Did I offend him by just rubbing on his ears like a common dog, oh no, how rude of me.' She lowered her head as tears started to fill her eyes. She whispered "I'm sorry; I didn't mean to make you mad by me rubbing your ear. It's just that they were so cute that I couldn't help myself." Tears were now rolling down her face, they were making streaks as they flowed down to her chin and dripped to the ground. (Cindy: Mike have you given Jinx her pudding back…….*walks into room filled with pudding packs* I think you have more then enough why take hers? Mike: because I can *evil laughter* Jinx: *screams in background* YOU"RE AN ASSHOLE! Mike: *screams back* I TRY TO BE! Cindy: *sigh* I swear to god you two were meant for each other.)

Inuyasha had heard her comment about his ears. He blushed just thinking about it, `she thinks my ears are cute.' He smelled the salt water and he knew that she was crying.

He raised his hand to her face wiping the tears away with the pad of his clawed thumb. Hooking his finger under her chin he lifted her head to look into her beautiful eyes. Her eyes were filled with tears they had a glassy look to them as the water continued to flow. He once again gently wiped the tears away from her gorgeous face. He leaned forward grabbing her by the shoulders pulling them both onto their feet. He then pulled her gently by the wrist to the river; once he was there he showed her what he wanted her to do. He was surprised when she complied with his request and went to the river to get cleaned up. He had walked over to a boulder that over looked the river and sat on top of it watching the girl as she got the dirt off her face and hands.

Miroku had come back looking for his friend. It has been a long while since he had seen him and he wanted to know if that beauty was awake yet.

He found his friend on top of a rock looking down intently at something or someone by the river. He approached his friend, making sure that he did not make any noise to let him know that he was there. He looked over the edge and saw that the girl had indeed awakened. She was cleaning her face and hands of the soot that covered her. A big grin had appeared on his lecherous face. He was thinking of all the perverted things he could do to her when he heard a loud growl come from above him, "Miroku I wish you'd quit hiding like that, you're always hoping to catch me doing something so you could enjoy the show, but I'm not that stupid," yelled Inuyasha from above him.

Miroku had been caught yet again, "how did you catch me this time? I was down wind from you and I know you couldn't hear my heartbeat because of the noise being made by the river." Inuyasha looked at his friend then he pointed to his noise. "I could smell your perverted thoughts even from up here. I'll warn you, you better not lay a hand on her or I will tell Sango that you have broken your word to her." Miroku bristled as he hung his head in defeat with a sigh he sat next to his hanyou friend. "Well do you know her name yet?" "No, I haven't asked her yet. She just woke up and I thought I would bring her here to get her cleaned up first." He said gesturing towards the woman. "You know that we will be stopping soon for the night are you going to come near the rest of us to rest?" Miroku inquired "Yeah I'll be there, you know that I don't like being around anybody, but I need to protect the girl so yes I will be there later." Inuyasha sighed, hating his friend at the moment for getting him into this. "Ahhhh, Inuyasha if you want to have the girl with you tonight you better go get her, she's swimming away down the river." Miroku said pointing to the girls retreating form. "WHAT!!!!!" Inuyasha yelled looking on, as the girl was indeed swimming down the river away from him. He growled deep in his throat as he took a running jump and went into the river after her. (Jinx: *sneaks into pudding pack filled room* Mike: there all empty. *evil laughter* Jinx* falls to floor sobbing* I HATE YOU! Mike: no you don't! Cindy: *sigh*)

"I have to get away from here if I want to find Jinx," thought Kagome as she swam down the river away from her captor. She loved his ears but she had to find Jinx that was the first thing on her mind. She started to make her way to shore about a mile from were she had started. "I hope to at least get some distance from him, he was talking to that other guy and I don't think he saw me leave." Tired and beaten from swimming for so long she was just about to climb out of the river when she was tackled from behind and pinned to the ground. She hit the ground with such force that it knocked the air out of her lungs. Forcing her to cough in pain she almost thought she saw her lungs come flying out of her mouth. She was quickly rolled over, opening her eyes she saw the silver haired man on top of her. She could see the anger in his eyes as he looked at her. "Where in the FUCK do you think your going?" Kagome's anger flared at this rude person before she answered back, "I will go were ever the FUCK I want and you can't stop me!" Inuyasha eyes widen as the girl showed more backbone than he gave her credit for. "Well you're not going anywhere; you are going to come with me back to my tribe." He picked her up off the ground and set her on her feet.

Kagome was mad now no one has ever stopped her from going where she wanted to go, and this rude bastard was not going to stop her. She readied her fist and then swung, hitting Inuyasha square in the jaw knocking him down. He looked up at her in shock, no one has ever knocked him on his butt before, but this girl just did. Her eyes got a deeper blue as her temper flared. He squared his shoulder and rubbed his chin as he got up, cracking his neck in the processes. Kagome looked on in horror at what she had just did; she had hit this man and knocked him on his butt, now he looked like he was out for blood. She turned and ran into the forest. Inuyasha gave chase as she tried to get away. (Mike: *stuffs pudding packs under bed* Cindy: I thought you said they were all empty? Mike: you didn't see that! Cindy: oh yes I did! Mike: no you didn't! Cindy: yes I did! Jinx: did what? Mike: nothing! Cindy: he has you…….Mike: *covers up Cindy's mouth* nothing! I have nothing! Jinx: why are you being so twitchy?)

Inuyasha pounced on her again pinning her to the ground. He had his hand around her neck as she tried to fight him off. "You have to let me go! I have to find Jinx. She is the only family I have left and I can't abandon her." Kagome started to cry again as she was struggling against his grip. Inuyasha heard what she wanted to do but he had seen no one left alive when he had rescued the girl. "I'm not going to let you go. When I saved you from the fire there was no one else around, you were the only one alive!" His words hit her like a ton of bricks, growling with each perfectly pronounced word. `I'm all alone, mom is gone, Jinx is now gone, I have no one and no one will ever accept me for what I am a half-breed an outcast to all that come upon me.' She started to cry even harder, her body shacking with each sob that escaped her trembling mouth, "then why didn't you let me die! I would have preferred to be dead than live the rest of my life alone in this world!" Inuyasha released the girl after hearing her words. `She's afraid to live alone in this world just like me.' The girl was on the ground crying. He gently picked her up and put her in his lap, he held her until she stopped crying while he was rubbing her back in a circular motion to comfort her.

`Why is he doing this to me? He is comforting me like he understands what I'm going through.' Kagome had stopped crying and was being rocked slowly to sleep by the silver haired man, his heart beat was the only thing she was hearing when sleep finally claimed her tired body, and brought her peace for the first time that day.

Inuyasha noticed that the girl had stopped her crying and that her breathing was becoming slow and even. He knew that she had fallen asleep in his arms. He had to find shelter for the night, the sky was already darkening and soon night will be upon them.

He never liked sleeping on the ground so he found a pretty tall tree and jumped into its high branches, being careful not to wake the girl in his arms. He found the perfect branch and sat down with his back against the hard bark of the tree truck and cradled the sleeping girl in his lap, resting his chin on top of her head. He pulled her close to his chest to keep her warm, as he smelled her scent. Her scent had a calming quality to it. It made him feel calm and at peace with himself, never before had he felt this way. This girl was very special; he would have to keep her around for a little while at least. He closed his eyes and fell asleep breathing in her scent as it sent him into a peaceful, restful sleep. (Jinx: aw…….so sweet! Mike: you do know that it's just pure lust right? Cindy: what?! Mike: yeah they're just lusting after each other. Jinx: how the hell would you know? Cindy: yeah I would like to know this too? Mike: *grumbles while taking bite of pudding* Jinx: that's what I thought now give me my damn pudding!)

---------------------------------------------

Jinx: *does stupid dance* I got my pudding! I got my pudding! I got my pudding!

Cindy: *sigh*

Mike: you don't have to live with it every day.

Cindy; thank god for that!

Jinx: what are you guys talking about, *big smile*
