Chapter 4: Waiting

*Week later*

Shard hunting has gone as usual but Inuyasha seemed to be more on edge, almost gazing harder and harder at the surrounding trees as time passed by, as if looking for something. Miroku began to get curious at the behavior of his friend and abandoned his spot behind Sango to talk to him. Seeing him begin to pass by Shippo jumped from Kagome's shoulder to Miroku's. He too was curious about Inuyasha. Sango gave a curious glance to the males of their group and then to Kagome. As soon as her big sister figure turned to look at her she feigned a look of interest, though she undoubtedly knew what was going through his mind. Her demon's voice lined with an understated hate came to her mind.

`Oh yea, we both know the reason.'

Kirara even gave into her natural curiosity and mewed inquisitively as she trotted by Sango's feet. Miroku cleared his throat and side glanced at Inuyasha, speaking low so the girls would not hear anything that Inuyasha might not have wanted to get out.

"What is the matter Inuyasha? You seemed to be antsy."

Inuyasha's ears swerved to his direction but he did not speak. A small silence settled between them before Inuyasha's voice filled the void.

"I am just worried about Naraku. We have all but his shards sooner or later he will come for us. I am just being on guard."

Miroku and Shippo gave him understanding looks but still there was something more. His voice was not pushing Inuyasha to say anything merely telling him his concerns in a way. Shippo nodded his head in agreement.

"Is that it? I mean we have been in danger before."

"Inuyasha he has a point."

For a moment Inuyasha seemed to stop then with in that very second continued to move. His tone rose in unnecessary anger, his words were clipped.

"Yea that is it houshi! Should there be something else? And you know nothing kit so stay out of this!"

Miroku and Shippo seemed to shrink back from him, his tone was not loud enough for the girls to here but Kagome knew what was going on, her demon wouldn't stop reminding her of her knowledge.

`Oh it is more than just Naraku…Much more. He is looking for his clay bitch. Oh please I could rid us of him. Just let me out for a second.'

Its words were alluring, enticing in every way.

`Wouldn't it feel good to forever end the pain he caused?'

Kagome could feel the warming effect of the evil within her, it was so…delightful so welcoming. Her demon let out barks of laughter.

`You like the feeling don't you?'

Kagome looked at Inuyasha unblinkingly, her eyes darkened to an abyss of black. Her demon gazed out at him.

`If I were out there I would gut his ass…and feed them to his lover. Then kill her slowly as he bleeds to death.'

Her words came out in such a satisfied deep purr that Kagome wondered if she got sexual pleasure from thoughts of killing Inuyasha. Its voice took a pleading note.

`Please just for a little bit.'

Kagome again began to feel the warming burn of her demon. She closed her eyes slightly and reveled in it. And for the first time in the years that she had gained her creature she spoke to it, an almost seductive chuckle slipped out of her.

`Soon...I will let you out soon, but only when we are far enough so my friends won't get hurt.'

Her demon instantly calmed like a spoiled child that finally got the attention it wanted after a very long time. Sango waved her hand in front of her face and almost jumped back when Kagome caught her hand in reflex.

"Did you need something Sango?"

Sango just smiled and shook her head, her voice held a playful note.

"Actually no. I was talking to you, when you started to daze off. Were you perhaps thinking of Inuyasha?"

For a second Kagome's cheerful mask fell and a look of utter disgust contorted her lovely face before the mask was slipped back into place and she gave a very fake blush. Sango squealed in delight.

"I knew it!"

Inside Kagome's demon fired up again.

`How dare she accuse of us thinking about that…THAT disgusting fool! I can not even believe we used to like that betraying clay fucker!!'

Kagome took a soothing tone.

`It's okay...we will have our revenge soon enough. There is not reason to be upset.'

Instantly her darker half stilled and settled pacified by her words.

`Oh Inuyasha you don't know what you have done to me and you will never know, I will kill you first.'
