Chapter Two: Mutes Can't Talk, But They Sure As Hell Can Hit Hard

"Get away from him, you demon!"

She gasped a turned to face a rather handsome young man. He had black hair tied to the nape of his neck, violet eyes and long robes with a staff. The arrow broke and she let out a scream as she fell. Kagome held onto the last arrow holding the boy, but her grasp soon slipped.

Inuyasha opened his eyes when he heard Miroku, but all he saw was a figure against his body, with long black hair. When she screamed he heard the arrow break and he grabbed her with the arm that was free. The clothing the girl wore felt so soft against his skin.

Miroku watched completely shocked at the sight of the beautiful young girl that Inuyasha held in his arm. He felt pangs of jealousy as he walked closed to the hanyou. The monk eyed the two broken arrows and the whole one that lay on the ground under Inuyasha. Miroku stayed quiet and watched the scene play out.

Kagome's eyes were wide as she turned to face the boy. He had the most gorgeous, amber eyes. She winced as he tried to pull her closer, his claws pressing into her side. She let out a tiny cry of pain as she pushed herself away. He lost his grasp and Kagome hit the grass with a thud. She held her side and breathed heavily, sweat running down her face.

"Are you okay?" the boy with the robes asked.

She nodded and got to her feet slowly. The boy from the tree pulled out the last arrow and landed next to Kagome. She jumped and took a few steps back, still holding her side.

Inuyasha eyed the girl from head to toe, "She's injured," he snorted as he took a step closer to her.

Kagome was frightened out of her mind. She did the first thing that came to her; she took off running into the forest.

The hanyou rolled his eyes and looked at Miroku, "We'd better go get her before the demons do. They'll have a field day with her."

Miroku nodded then followed Inuyasha in the direction of the mysterious beauty. Soon Miroku lost sigh off the hanyou, but found him again when he heard a scream. He saw Inuyasha battling against a gigantic snake demon. The young girl lay still on the ground and Miroku rushed over to her aide.

Inuyasha growled as he charged the snake, cutting it in half with his razor sharp claws. The beast fell to the ground and the hanyou turned towards Miroku.

"She fainted, stupid girl. We'd better take her to Kaede," he grunted as he walked over to the monk, "You have clean up duty."

The monk nodded as he sprinted to the snake's corpse. He undid his prayer beads and yelled, "Wind Tunnel!" The air swirled as the snake's body parts were sucked into Miroku's hand.

Inuyasha knelt down and looked at the young maiden. She was paler than anyone he knew, her black hair laid all around her head and the outfit she wore showed off all of her body's curves. He brushed the hair gently from her face. Miroku watched then crossed his arms across his chest and cleared his throat loudly, startling Inuyasha.

"We'd better get going." Miroku said.

The hanyou nodded as he gently picked up Kagome. He held her in his arms bridal style. Surprisingly she was warm to his touch. He could feel a small blush creep over his face.

"You know if she's too much for you, I could always carry her Inuyasha," Miroku explained with a rather evil smile evident on his face.

"Yeah right. I wouldn't let you touch her, Lecher." Inuyasha growled as he tightened his grip on the girl and took off in a fast sprint towards the village.

"Inuyasha! Wait up!" the monk yelled as he quickly ran to the hanyou's side. 'I think he may like this sleeping beauty more than he thinks,' he thought as a smile grew on his face as they ran towards the village.

Kagome's eyes fluttered open as something cold and wet was placed on her forehead. She groaned and tried to sit up, when two arms gently guided her back down.

"Ye must rest, my child," an old woman said softly.

She reluctantly laid back down, carefully watching the lady tending to her needs. Kagome wrapped her arms around her chest, and could feel cloth bandage. She looked under the blanket that covered her body. Her chest and ribs were bandaged to her belly button and she had her under wear on. She gasped, 'I'm practically naked!' she thought as she wrapped the blanket around her body. Kagome lay back down and closed her eyes, tightly praying that she was only dreaming.

"I'll be back, my child." The elderly woman said as she got to her feet. "Please rest; ye need your rest. Sango, Inuyasha, Miroku, and Shippo are right outside. Please don't hesitate to call them."

Kaede shook her head as she walked out of the small hut.

"How's the young maiden?" a concerned Sango asked, rushing to the old woman's side.

"She's awakened, but the poor lass still hasn't spoken a word. I wonder if she is a mute?" Kaede replied with a heavy sigh.

"Kaede, what's a mute?" Shippo asked as he jumped onto Sango's shoulder curiously, followed by Kirara, who mewed happily.

"Aye, a mute is a person who cannot speak," she answered, glancing at the now uneasy Sango. "Now I must leave ye all for the time being. I must attend to a villager who has come down with illness. Oh and Sango, keep an eye on out visitor," Kaede paused, looking over her shoulder, "and the monk."

Sango nodded trying her hardest to stifle her fits of laughter. Kaede showed a smile as she walked slowly into the area where tiny huts were tightly packed together. When Sango regained control of her posture to stop laughing, she gazed around to find two confused faces: Shippo's and Miroku's.

"Where did Inuyasha go?" she asked as she straightened out her skirt.

"He just walked off." Miroku smiled as he drew closer to the demon exterminator. As soon as he was close enough, he poked her shoulder and let out a mild laugh, "You're it!" and with that he took off running.

She let out a gasp as she took off after the monk. Shippo was at Sango's heels laughing with joy. She didn't notice when Inuyasha cautiously walked into Kaede's small hut.

He walked into the hut silently. Inuyasha watched the girl; she lay quiet and still. 'Maybe she's asleep,' he told himself. Letting out a sigh, he noticed her body tense up under the rather thin blanket.

"Get up, I know you're not asleep," he said, leaning impatiently against a wall.

Kagome didn't even breathe, she stayed motionless hoping who ever was in the room with her would leave. She could feel his eyes on her back sending chills up her spin. 'Go away!' she thought.

Inuyasha walked over to her. He loomed over her body, and she clung to the blanket, making him grow angry.

"What's your name anyway, you wench!" he demanded as he crossed his arms over his chest.

She wanted to yell and scream at the young boy to leave her alone, but she would remember what her father would do if she yelled or argued. She winced at even the thought, but she still resisted saying or doing anything.

"Don't ignore me, you stupid wench! Answer me!" he growled grabbing her arm and pulling her to face him.

Kagome gasped as he pulled her to her knees, she grabbed the blanket and clung to it with her free arm. She kept her eyes on the floor and she wouldn't look at him. This only made Inuyasha angrier as his grip on her arm tightened.

He pulled her to her feet, "You'd better answer me, girl," he threatened as he whispered into her ear. That's when she jerked her body, pulling away from him. He only held her tighter, his claws digging into her skin. Kagome, forgetting for a moment that she was only in her underwear, let go of the blanket, trying to push him away from her.

She almost instantly felt the blanket drop to the floor. Her eyes went wide. She looked up at the boy to realize that he was the one who she had unpinned from the tree. His face turned pink as his amber eyes stared at her body.

Inuyasha was dumbfounded by what he saw. She had a bandage around her chest stopping an inch or two before her belly button. His eyes raveled down her body and she had on some kind of white cloth covering her lower half, but only a bit. He stared at the small straps that almost loosely hung around her hips. Without thinking Inuyasha reached out with his free hand.

He touched the strap with his finger as his claw ran over her bare skin. Before he knew it his hand had reached the girl's backside feeling the cloth that covered her butt. He noted that if felt soft like the dress that the girl wore when he had found her, yet it was a little rougher to the touch.

Kagome let out a gasp as she pulled her arm free from his claws. 'Pervert!' her mind screamed. She pulled back her hand and let it fly across his already darkening read face.

WHAPP!!!

The hanyou stumbled back a few steps. A growl escaped his throat. "What the fuck was that for, bitch?" Everything grew quiet, even the birds outside had stopped chirping. He clenched his fists as he stepped towards the half naked girl.

Horror filled Kagome's eyes as the angered boy stepped closer. Hs fists were balled. 'Oh, no, I'm dead! ' she told herself trying to back up. Unluckily, she tripped over the blanket and tumbled backwards landing on her butt.

She scrambled backwards, her eyes not leaving the boy as he came closer. She hit a corner with her back; completely terrified, she drew her knees up to her chest and hid her head under her arms. Soon the boy towered over her; his face was red with anger, embarrassment, and the lovely new dark handprint across his cheek.

Sango was about to catch the tricky monk when she heard a loud slap. She stopped and looked around, Miroku and Shippo were glued to their spots. Then she heard the half demon yell, "What the fuck was that for, bitch!" Sango looked back at Miroku. He'd frozen in place, same as Shippo, and every moving thing around them. 'That girl!' she yelled at herself as she took off towards the hut. The demon slayer skidded to a stop at the entrance.

Inuyasha towered over the girl, fists balled and angry as the dickens. The young girl was cowering back into a corner. Bracing herself as if she was going to receive the ass kicking of her life.

"Inuyasha! What do you think you're doing! Get away from her!" Sango yelled as she rushed to the girl's aide.

Miroku entered the hut a moment or two later, followed by Shippo. The demon slayer held the half-naked girl in her arms, coaxing her to relax. The girl only stiffened up even more, closing herself off.

"GET OUT OF HERE!" Sango practically screamed at the monk and half demon. "NOW! Before I exterminate both of you assholes!" ((A/N: poor Miroku, he didn't do anything))

Miroku put his hand on the hanyou's shoulder. Inuyasha growled and walked out of the hut mumbling curses as he exited. Miroku lingered for a moment longer before he turned and left also.

Sango patted Kagome on the head and let go of the young girl. "I guess I'll go and let you be alone." She made her way to leave when two hands grabbed her arm. She could barely hear it, but she made out the words pretty clearly,

"No, please don't leave me." The girl choked out, pleading with her eyes. Begging that the other woman wouldn't leave her alone.

The demon slayer nodded as she sat down next to Kagome.
Sango. I'm a demon exterminator," she said, watching Kagome carefully.

Kagome sat Indian style and relaxed a bit and sighed heavily. A second later a little fox crept onto Kagome's lap and transformed into a little boy with the feet of one. He smiled as he looked up at the girl and she smiled back halfheartedly.

"I'm Shippo, I'm a fox demon. " He beamed happily, "What's your name?"

She stopped and looked up at Sango, the demon slayer nodded and smiled warmly. "IuhmyUhname is Kagome...Higurashi..." she said blushing a bit nervously.

stormed down the road. Miroku was at his side with a confused look on his face.

"What are you looking at!?" Inuyasha snapped.

"Nothing Inuyasha" Miroku replied. "So what happened back there in the hut?"

It grew quiet as Inuyasha tried to think about what had happened. After a moment they reached a small river. Inuyasha jumped into a tree while Miroku sat underneath it with his back leaning against the trunk.

"Are you going to tell me what happened, Inuyasha?" Miroku asked, "OR am I going to have to find out on my own?"

Inuyasha growled, but jumped from the tree a second later and sat down in front of the monk.

"Feh," he started but he then sighed heavily. "Well, I first went in the hut to see if that girl was awake."

"Keep going."

"Well, she was but she acted all asleep and I told her to get up."

"Didn't Kaede say that she needed rest?" Miroku asked.

"Shut up I'm talking!" Miroku nodded and stayed quiet.

"Okay, so then I asked her for her name." Inuyasha began again.

Miroku interrupted once again, "I thought lady Kaede said that she was a mute?"

"I thought I told you to shut up, Miroku!" The monk gulped and nodded for yet the second time.

"ErrI got madGrabbed her arm. Got madder...She tried to break free, stupid wenchUherr, then she let go of the blanket that was wrapped around her" nervous sigh, "I .uh...touched" he began to blush, "Then she ...uh slapped me."

Miroku had an evil grin on his face as he got to his feet, dusting off his robes he chuckled. "Inuyasha, you ol' dog. I didn't think you had enough balls to ever touch a young maiden." ((A/N: he's thinking along completely different lines than what really happenedbad perverted monk. Bad! J))

Inuyasha jumped up defensively and growled, "Hey! It's not like I did it on purpose, you know. I'm not like a certain monk!"

"Well, I'm going back to the village to check on my dear Sango," the monk said, the smile on his face growing wider, "Oh, but Inuyasha I propose you stay here for a while."

"Why do you say that, Miroku?"

"To give Sango time to cool down so she won't kill you so soon." Miroku laughed to himself as he walked away.
