InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Makai ❯ Girl Talk ( Chapter 4 )

Chapter Four: Girl Talk

 

 

Five days later, Kagome was worried. Inuyasha had been very distant and grumpy lately. He acted like he couldn't stand her, but he wouldn't let her out of his sight. She didn't know what was wrong with him. She was thinking about confronting him, but she was afraid of angering him further. Maybe I should talk to the girls about this.

 

“Hey, Sango, Makai, Ayame, you want to go bathe in the lake?”

The girls noticed Kagome's expression, and quickly agreed. They each grabbed their bathing supplies, and hurried toward the lake, wanting to know what had Kagome so worried. Makai could guess, though, and she wished that she could help Inuyasha to understand and make Kagome feel better. The girls entered the lake and got comfortable for what they knew would be a long chat.

 

“Spill Kagome. What's wrong,” Ayame asked. She had become very good friends with everyone in the group in the weeks she'd been with them. She now thought of them as another family and didn't want any of them to be unhappy.

 

“Have you noticed that Inuyasha's been very distant and grouchy lately? I want to ask him what's wrong, but I'm afraid he'll get mad at me. I wanted to ask your advice about what I should do.”

 

Each of the girls had something to say about what Kagome should do, but it was Makai who had the best advice. Besides, she too had something to discuss with the group.

 

“Kagome, I think you should talk to Inuyasha and tell him you're there for him. If he doesn't want to talk about it, tell him that's fine but you're there if he needs you.”

 

“That's a good idea, Makai. I think that's what I'll do. Thanks.”

 

“No problem. Besides, I had something to discuss with you guys as well. In a few days, we'll all be splitting up for a little while. Not so much by choice, more by need. I wanted to talk to each of you about the paths you'll take. Sango, have you approached Miroku yet?”

Sango blushed. “No, I've been too afraid. I think the time is coming though.”

 

“Good, the sooner the better. Kagome, I can't help you with Inuyasha at the moment. He has some things he needs to figure out for himself. Just keep hope. Ayame, are you still in love with Kouga?”

 

This time, it was Ayame who blushed. “Yes. I know it sounds stupid, but I still love him. I just wish he would see me as a potential mate.”

All the girls gave Ayame sympathetic looks and told her that if Kouga didn't shape up, she should try finding someone worthy of her. Everyone, except Makai, she just gave a little smile.

 

“Ayame, Kouga will be visiting us soon, while we are in the middle of a battle. He will try to get in the way of Kagome and Inuyasha, which could be fatal to them. Therefore, I need you to fight Kouga and keep him occupied while they are fighting their battle. Can you do that?”

Ayame gave Makai a strange look, but nodded her head that she understood. “I just don't see how fighting Kouga will help him see me as a potential mate.”

 

“Youkai, in general, look for a strong mate. In your previous encounters with Kouga, you always acted more submissive. If you fight him, he will be forced to see how strong you are. This will cause him to view you as a potential mate.”

Ayame got an excited look on her face. “I see what you mean. That is a brilliant plan. Thank you.”

 

The girls talked for a little longer before washing off and dressing. They headed back to camp, planning for the next couple of days. They had a lot to do.
