Chapter Eleven

Kagome Kidnapped on the New Moon

It hadn't taken Miroku long to find an inn with an `ominous demonic aura' around it, nor had it taken long to secure bedding for the night as well as a nice hot meal. Kurama was suspicious, having been a thief at one point as well as a con-artist himself. He doubted the Monk sensed anything besides a gullible innkeeper. Of course the Monk would put on an act if questioned, so he kept all comments to himself. The sun was half hidden behind the tall mountains; men struggled to finish their days work before the remaining sunlight vanished. Little kids ran around playing various games before they were called in for the night. Women sewed baskets and clothing, chatting amongst one another while watching their children play.

“Hm, it's actually kind of peaceful around here,” Inuyasha commented from his spot on the soft grass.

“Yes, no one seems to be worried about youkai attacks. It's kind of nice to find a village that doesn't have to fear for their lives all the time,” Sango agreed. She worked on polishing her Hirikotsu, keeping an eye on Miroku the whole time. He, however, was occupied with the beautiful women of the village. Sango looked away and began polishing her Hirikotsu harder than was necessary. Kagome wondered just how long it would be until the newly polished weapon would make contact with the poor Monk's head. Knowing Sango…not long. Shippo hummed a tuneless song as he lay on the grass on his stomach drawing whatever popped into his mind. He seemed absolutely oblivious to the world around him. Kirara and Puu lay nearby enjoying the remaining sunrays.

“You don't get peace like this often do you?” Kuwabara questioned.

“Not many do,” Inuyasha grunted softly. “You just have to take advantage of the moment when it comes along.” Kagome smiled softly as Inuyasha continued conversing with the orange haired teen. It was just a few hours ago that he was stewing over the fact that they were in the group and now he was having a small conversation with one of them. Light as it may be.

`He won't be this way long. Once we're traveling again he'll turn back to his grumpy old self. I'm surprised he still isn't since the new moon is tonight,' she thought. `Oh well, I'll enjoy it while it lasts.' The hanyou could be as unpredictable as the weather. One never knew what he was going to do next. She had obviously been staring because said hanyou turned to look at her.

“What?” He asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Oh, nothing!” she quickly said. Inuyasha simply shrugged and turned away. Kagome decided that she rather liked Inuyasha's idea and decided to lie down herself. She shot right back up when landing on something hard, or rather a leg, causing a few to chuckle in amusement. “Sorry!” she apologized while turning around finding out that she had attempted to lie on Yusuke's leg, who had been on the verge of a catnap.

“No problem,” he muttered obviously still halfway in dream land. Scooting over to the side, where there wasn't any appendages to fall on, she let herself fall backward onto the cool grass. No wonder Inuyasha loved to lie in the grass during the autumn months, the cold grass felt so good! Although it wouldn't be long before soft snow would begin to cover everything. She supposed in about a few weeks time, maybe less. With a groan she realized that traveling will be harder during that time. A loud `thwack' made several heads turn in surprise. Both Kagome and Inuyasha shot up while Yusuke simply pushed himself up on his arms. Sango had finally lost it and thwacked Miroku on the head with her Hirikotsu. The girls he had been flirting with seemed absolutely appalled that Sango had done that.

“Is Master Monk all right?” One of them questioned.

“Don't worry,” Sango seethed. “He'll be just fine.” She then strapped the large weapon on her back and proceeded to drag the monk back to where the others were lounging.

“Remind me not to anger her,” Kuwabara muttered to Shippo.

“Yeah, she can be scary!” Shippo nodded. “How she acts when dealing with Miroku reminds me of how Kagome acts when dealing with Inuyasha.” This little fact confused Kuwabara. As far as he could tell, besides her outburst yesterday, she deals with him rather calmly. Unless he was missing something altogether.

“Humph, stupid monk,” Inuyasha grunted. “He'll never learn.”

“You're one to talk,” Kagome muttered distractedly as she watched a couple of blue birds fly to their nest. One of the snowy white ears atop his head twitched in her direction.

“What was that?” Kagome simply smiled as Sango hid one of her own behind her hand. Deciding to let it drop, Inuyasha made himself comfortable on the ground once more. After a moment his right ear twitched when something grazed over it. A couple of moments later the same thing happened except with the left this time. A poorly muffled giggle reached his sensitive hearing. It was when something caused his ear to flick the fourth time that he said something.

“Who the hell is doing that?” He growled. Kagome hid her laugh behind her hands and shook her head violently. Sango was suddenly busy looking at something in the distance, but a shake of her head was still visible. His amber gaze moved among the entire group, a few of which obviously found this funny. Then his gaze landed on a bush with an amber tail. Reaching out a hand, Inuyasha grasped the tail and pulled Shippo out of the bush.

“Yes?” Shippo questioned innocently. The tell tale feather he had used to bother Inuyasha's ears with fell to the ground slowly. The small kitsune laughed nervously as Inuyasha's eyes narrowed. Surprisingly he simply dropped Shippo instead of connecting his fist with the kit's skull. Kagome smiled, maybe Inuyasha was maturing.

“Don't do it again,” he warned before planting his foot atop Shippo's head. It seemed that maturity had just flown out the window.

Why her? Why the hell was she the one stuck waiting in the tree tops? Oh yes, because she could never disagree with Dark. It could be days before the Miko went off alone or whatnot! She had been waiting since they stopped at the village and now nightfall was quickly coming upon them.

`Maybe I'll rest for the night and see if I can get her alone in the morning,' she thought before making herself comfortable at the base of a large tree.

“Don't any of you get the idea to peak!” Shisma's right ear twitched in the direction the warning had come from.

“That goes double for you monk.” Venom dripped heavily from Sango's voice.

“Don't worry, he won't get a chance,” Inuyasha grumbled. “I'm taking him back to the village while you two bathe.” No doubt it was also so he could hide out as his transformation took place and stay until sunrise.

“Hopefully they won't get any ideas,” Sango grumbled.

“Besides Miroku…I doubt it,” Kagome chuckled. “Besides, Inuyasha's taking him back to the village anyway.”

“You never know.” Shisma smirked, now was her chance! She slowly crept up behind the two chattering girls. All it took was one hard, precise strike to the back of the slayers head to knock her out cold.

“Sango!” Kagome cried out in surprise as she reached for an arrow in her quiver. Shisma grabbed her wrist and placed her hand over Kagome's mouth before she got the idea to scream. Kagome squirmed and kicked trying to break free of the leopards grasp. She felt a sharp pain at the back of her head before succumbing to the darkness.
