[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
Kagome woke up the next day long after sunrise. InuYasha was already up and looking out over the valley they had camped out over. She stood up and rubbed her back. Leaning against a lumpy backpack all day, then sleeping on the grass, had not been kind to her.
She looked over at InuYasha's back. She didn't need to talk to him to know he was still mad. 'All I did was ask an innocent question, what the hell set that guy off? I've never seen him so genuinely angry. He won't be fun to travel with today.'
Kagome walked over to her bag and reached in for her breakfast. 'Might as well make a peace offering.' She thought pulling two out. 'He sure isn't going to apologize.'
Kagome walked up behind the half demon. "InuYasha?" He remained silent. "I got breakfast." "I ain't hungry." he replied with cold indifference.
Kagome glared in frustration. 'Okay, fine. I tried being civil with this asshole. Let 'em starve.' She thought, taking a bite. After she had chewed for several seconds, she opened her mouth and stuck her tongue out at his back before walking back to her sleeping bag.
She finished eating and rolled up her bag. "C'mon, I'm ready, let's go." She said, halfway hoping to get drawn into an argument with the moody prick so she would have an excuse to sit him.
The half demon didn't argue. He just stood up slowly. The valley below served as a back drop to his thin frame, and the wind whipped around him while he took one last angry gaze over the landscape..
'Jesus. This guy is out of a fucking movie. I've found the half demon James Dean.' Kagome thought, shaking her head. 'Hell, I'm traveling around the boonies on a Harley with James Yasha, on a quest for a magic jewel. My life IS a fucking movie..'
InuYasha returned to the bike and jammed the key in. The Harley roared to life. He slammed the kickstand back and sped forward.
About three hours of chilly silence later, the road started getting bumpy. And hilly. Kagome began to get nervous. The larger bumps sent a sent a jolt of fear through her that she would fall off. A moment later and the road was a bunch of patches of asphalt in more or less a straight line.
By now Kagome was worried. Each bump would send her flying sideways. Several times she was sure the arm rest was the only thing that had saved her. "Isn't there somethin' to hold on to on this suicide
machine!?" Kagome yelled as she was forced briefly into the air, coming down with a loud "Oof!"
"Underneath your seat, on the side of the bike." InuYasha replied calmly. Kagome's hands scrambled frantically for the handles and clutched them for dear life as a jolt sent an arm rest into her ribs. 'Oh shit, that's not a figure of speech!' She thought in alarm.
They crested a hill. The front wheel bounded off a piece of broken pavement and went airborne. Kagome made the mistake of letting out a small scream.
InuYasha heard the girl scream. He grinned evilly. He was going to get her back for those sits. Oh yeah, he was gonna get her good. He throttled forward. The bike bounced more wildly. Kagome's knuckles whitened as she grasped on to the metal bar with all her might.
"SLOW DOWN!" She screamed, desperately trying to stay alive. InuYasha pretended not to hear her as they rolled down the hill. Up ahead the road rose up again in another hill. One jagged piece of asphalt stood level while the rest of the road went downhill.
Kagome's eyes widened in fear. "No.. NO NO NO NO NO!" She screamed at him. He only sped up.
InuYasha was grinning now. He could feel the adrenaline coursing through his veins as he headed for that piece of asphalt. Every muscle in his body was loose, begging to be used. He could see every crack in the pavement, feel the air and fuel igniting beneath him, Hell he could even hear Kagome's heartbeat with his ears. She was freakin'.
Kagome kept screaming at the half demon. 'Don't, don't fucking DON'T! Move, go off course! Something! Don't!' her mind raged at him.
The front wheel glided smoothly along the asphalt, before dropping away over the edge. But before it could hit the ground the heavier back end dropped off and slammed into the ground, leaving the front end in midair as the tire caught and propelled them downwards.
For all intents and purposes, they were free falling. Kagome's stomach flew to her throat. She clung with all the strength in her arms to the handles as her lighter body began to float upwards.
InuYasha leaned forward and rested his wieght on the handlebars. The front wheel touched down and gripped the road just before the road evened out.
Kagome had barely bounced off the hard seat when the road climbed up the next hill. InuYasha used his momentium from the fall to race up the hill. Kagome was thrown back against her backpack.
To InuYasha's disappointment, and Kagome's relief, the road leveled out when they reached the top. Not wanting to slow down just yet, InuYasha gunned it.
"Stop! Fucking stop!" Kagome pleaded behind him. 'Aright, she's had enough, she's still just a girl after all.' InuYasha's brain argued, even though, for some reason the thought met no opposition. He slowed down and pulled off to the side of the road.
When he stopped, Kagome uncermoinasly flopped off. She took several deep breaths and rubbed her back. She was sore elsewhere, but she sure as hell wasn't rubbing that.
InuYasha stepped off nonchalantly and fished in his pocket for his smokes. "Light weight." He muttered.
When Kagome had finished, he had actually made an indent in the ground. While Kagome was still recovering he managed to pushed himself up. "Sit!" She panted for good measure. He slammed into the ground once more.
"Bastard!" She yelled at him. He opened his mouth to retort but got sat instead. He wisely decided to stay down after that. Kagome looked out from her vanatge point on the hill. A dirt path ran out from the road further on. It led to a good sized town about five miles away. It was the first sign of civilization Kagome had seen in days, and if InuYasha didn't head over there she was going to sit him through the Earth!
She was about to make her demand when a bright orange light flashed on the outskirts of the town. As she tried to figure out what had happened, thick black smoke began to pour from where the light came.
Something had exploded. At that moment she got a prickling sensation in the back of her head. There was a shard in that direction. And she was willing to bet it was in that town.
She looked over at InuYasha's back. She didn't need to talk to him to know he was still mad. 'All I did was ask an innocent question, what the hell set that guy off? I've never seen him so genuinely angry. He won't be fun to travel with today.'
