InuYasha Fan Fiction ❯ Seeing Through New Eyes ❯ Chapter 11 ( Chapter 11 )

Chapter: 11

 

It was a relatively peaceful morning in Sengoku Jedai. The sky was clear, the birds were chirping, and the sun was shining. Yep, it was a very ni-.

 

SLAP!

 

Ah, what a lovely day it is.

 

“Hentai!”

 

“It was worth it.” Miroku sighed as he rubbed the red handprint on his cheek. Sango shook her head.

 

Kagome giggled, “You know, you two better start getting along if you are going to be married soon.” The couple blushed and looked away from each other. Kagome smiled.

 

The group had been traveling since early morning, hoping to find the last of the Shikon no Kakera. There were only about four left, including the two from Kouga. Kagome sighed; it was going to take a lot to get the ookami to give up his shards.

 

They were still heading north, so there was a large chance that Kouga would find them. That is why Kagome went back into her human form. If Kouga saw her as a powerful demon, he would be even more insistent of her being his mate.

 

`Speak of the devil,' Kagome thought. She felt the familiar tingling of jewel shards and stopped. Her companions stopped also and looked at her curiously.

 

“It's Kouga.”

 

Suddenly the infamous whirlwind came into view. As it closed in, out popped the wolf demon. He stopped in front of Kagome and took her hands in his.

 

“How's my woman today?”

 

Inuyasha started yelling, “She's not your woman, wimpy wolf!” Kouga ignored him.

 

Kagome sighed. “I don't know, Kouga. How is Ayame?”

 

“What are you talking about? You are my woman, Kagome.”

 

Shaking her head, she took her hands away from his. “Kouga, I'm not your woman. I never was and never can be. I'm sorry.”

 

He shook his head. “What are you talking about? I love you. And you love me.” He tried to get her hands again but she evaded his. His eyes looked desperate.

 

“I love you as a friend, Kouga. I can't love you the way you love me.”

 

“What am I supposed to do then?” he whispered so low that without her youkai hearing she wouldn't have been able to hear him.

 

“You need to go to Ayame. She loves you. You'll be happy with her. You wouldn't be happy with me.”

 

Kouga nodded. Suddenly he had his cocky smirk on his face. Kagome knew he was going to be okay.

 

“Alright, I'll go find her. I'll see you when I see you.” He was about to make his whirlwind when Kagome stopped him.

 

“Um, Kouga, I need your jewel shards.”

 

The ookami turned back to the kijo. He bent down and took the Shikon shards out of his legs. They were a light purple color and when they dropped into Kagome's hand they purified instantly.

 

“I'm going to miss them.” Kagome giggled.

 

“Goodbye Kouga.”

 

He smiled, “Bye.”

 

 

Sesshoumaru looked on at the scene in front of him from his spot on a hill. His eyes were narrowed at the ookami's claims to his kijo. He growled almost inaudibly, scaring the kappa behind him.

 

Rin spoke quietly, “What is Sesshoumaru-sama growling for?”

 

Jaken shivered, “I'm not sure… ”

 

“Do you think it has something to do with Kagome-sama?”

 

Jaken snorted, “Baka! Sesshoumaru-sama would never lower himself to spy on a pathetic miko like her-” Another low growl in his direction shut him up. He gulped.

 

“But Kagome-sama said that we would see each other soon. Doesn't that mean that we would travel near her? Although,” Rin paused, “It would be better if we just traveled together.”

 

`See each other soon? She is expecting us to appear. I wouldn't want to disappoint her.' Sesshoumaru thought. `Traveling together would give this Sesshoumaru a chance to seduce the kijo.'

 

While thinking of a plan, Sesshoumaru walked in the direction of the kijo's companions.

 

 

“So how many jewel shards are left?” Sango asked the inu miko. They continued on their search after Kouga left. Kagome reverted back to her youkai form as soon as the ookami's aura was far enough away to not feel the shift in youki coming from her. They decided to see if they could collect any more jewel shards nearby today.

 

“Um,” Kagome looked into the tiny jar that held the nearly complete Shikon no Tama, “There are either two more small shards or one larger one.”

 

“Kagome-oka-san, what will you do when the jewel is complete? Will you stay here with us?” Shippou asked nervously. He began calling her `Oka-san' a little less than a year ago.

 

“I'm not sure what I'll do, Shippou-chan. I know for sure that I'll stay in this era, that way we can stay together, but I don't know anything after that. Maybe I'll take a mate or something. What about you guys? Are you going to finally get married like we all know you will?” She turned her attention to Sango and Miroku.

 

Miroku answered, “I believe that's exactly what we'll do. And then we will have many many many ma-” a blushing Sango hit the houshi on the head. “Not in public, Miroku!”

 

Kagome smiled at their antics. She then tensed, a certain taiyoukai was closing in on her pack. She got into a defensive position, she will not allow anything to happen to her family.

 

“Inuyasha.” Her voice was serious. Her companions tensed as well.

 

The hanyou stood next to her alertly, his ears swiveling on his head.

 

“Who is it?”

 

The intruder's scent finally caught his nose. He growled.

 

“Sesshoumaru! Quit hiding, you bastard!” He casually stepped through the foliage, his companions in tow.

 

“Hello again, Kijo.”

 

 

 

Omg! I finished this chapter in only two days! That's, like, a record! I'm very proud of myself. Thank you! Thank you! *bows* Read and review!
