Chapter 6 “When will you guys be back?” I questioned the males of the group as they readied themselves for a day out hunting. Whether we needed the meat or they just wanted to have a 'guys' day out', I wasn't really sure. “We'll be back some time around dusk. You sure you girls will be okay here?” Inuyasha inquired glancing from Kikyou to Sango and finally landing on me. “Inuyasha, we have an exterminator and two mikos. I think we can handle anything that comes up. Not to mention three full-blooded youkai, including one trained to fight. Go. Spend the day hunting, do the male bonding thing and don't worry about us,” I insisted with a smile as I nodded toward the woods. “Alright,” he finally relented before giving Kikyou a quick kiss and stopping by to give me a hug. “Just send Kirara to us if you run into any problems.” With that said, he turned and started away before I had the chance to make any reply. “Good day Lady Kagome, Lady Kikyou,” Miroku began giving us each a nod of his head. Turning toward Sango he finished, “My Lady.” After giving her a quick kiss on the check, he turned and started after Inuyasha. Now the only one left standing in front of us was Sesshoumaru, I doubted he had any intention of saying goodbye as the other two did. Guessing by the fact he gave me a nod of the head and turned without saying anything, I had been correct. “Okay kids, who wants to play tag?!” I called out, turning around to face them with a smile. They cheers and shouts for joy made it easy to see that they were all wanting to play. “So why are we going hunting anyways?” Miroku questioned after they had been walking away from camp for a few minutes. Normally he would have left the hunting up to Inuyasha, as he had done from the beginning, but there was just something off about the way Inuyasha asked him to join them this morning. And he just couldn't say no. “What don't buy Kagome's male bonding bit?” Inuyasha joked turning around to Miroku without missing a step. “Not in the least,” Miroku replied. “No real reason, just felt like hunting and invited you along,” Inuyasha explained with a chuckle as he turned his attention back to the forest around him. “You better not hurt her,” Inuyasha warned turning his attention to his half-brother after deciding now was as good a time as any to bring the subject up. “I have no intention to. Even you should know that an inu never harms his own pack,” Sesshoumaru called over his shoulder before speeding up a bit, a clear sign that the conversation was over. “You don't really think he would hurt Lady Kagome, do you?” Miroku inquired after Sesshoumaru had left hearing range. “Nah, but it's my job to make sure,” Inuyasha replied with a cocky smile as he glanced over at Miroku before turning his attention back to the forest around him and began sniffing the air. Once he picked up the trail, Inuyasha began to hunt. “Okies, time for the grownups to take a break, you kids keep playing,” I called out to the kids a moment before collapsing down next to the fire in exhaustion. “You know if adults had half of the energy kids have, we'd probably get twice the work done we do now,” I joked as the other two joined me. “Got that right,” Sango replied in between pants as she and Kikyou sat down next to me. “Oh, that is so cute,” Sango whispered, drawing mine and Kikyou's attention to what she was looking at. Out in the field, Rin had fallen down and instead of tagging her, since he was it, Souta helped her up and let her get a head start before chasing after her. “Those two would make the sweetest couple,” I agreed with a smile before turning my attention back to the girls. Kikyou opened her mouth to say something, but whatever it was, was lost when we both shot to our feet when we felt an incoming demon. Just as I was about to yell for the kids to get inside, the cloud of dust settled, revealing Ayame. “Well hello Ayame. It's been a while,” I greeted with a smile before nodding toward Kikyou to let her know that it was alright. “Yeah, my grandfather has had me running ragged. I haven't gotten a moments rest in who knows how many moon cycles. Think it's my punishment for not getting Kouga to mate with me,” Ayame replied with a shrug before sitting down next to Kikyou. “Not sure if you two met yet. Kikyou this is Ayame, one of our wolf allies. Ayame this is Kikyou Inuyasha's mate,” I introduced as I gestured to each one. “Inuyasha's mate? I thought that was going to be you,” Ayame told me confused as she glanced back over at me. “Nah, seems we're better off as more of siblings than romantic interests. So what brings you all the way out here?” I inquired deciding to get the conversation onto a subject that wasn't me or my love life, or, well, lack there of. “Another errand for grandfather. Have to pick some herbs up at a nearby demon village so I decided I would stop by and visit. Thought I should warn you. Since Kouga can't get it through his thick head that you aren't going to mate him, I've decided to give up on waiting. Unfortunately for you, that probably means he's going to redouble his efforts to win you over.” “I'm sorry Ayame.” “Whatever for? Unless you're responsible for giving him such a thick skull, I fail to see where this is your fault. I've never once blamed you for any of this. It's Kouga's fault, not yours. I just refuse to do to him what he does to you.” Giving Ayame a bright smile, I went to ask her if she wanted to stay for dinner when another cloud of dust picked up off in the distance. “Well speak of the devil,” I replied instead rolling my eyes. None of us bothered to get battle ready this time, since we already knew who it was. Less than a minute later the dust cloud stopped in front of us and revealed Kouga. “What do you want Kouga-kun?” I inquired glancing up at him. Why I bothered to ask, I'm not really sure since what he wants never changes, but who knows, I could get lucky. “My woman needs to come back with me to the den. It's time to start Ginta's mating ceremony,” Kouga explained and I was about to respond with the usual 'I'm not your woman' when I realized he wasn't looking at me. Following his line of sight, I realized he was, in fact, looking at Ayame. Leaning over, I whispered, “I think he's talking to you,” quietly in her ear, though no doubt with his demon hearing he could still pick it up. “I think you're right. Think I'll let him do the chasing for a bit,” Ayame whispered so softly I almost missed it, I don't think even Kouga was able to catch it. Standing up, Ayame turned toward him with a smirk. “I'm not your woman,” she insisted before giving us a wave and taking off in a cloud of dust. Kouga seemed slightly confused by the turn of events before giving us a quick 'later' and taking off after her. The moment he was no more than a cloud of dust, the tree of us busted up laughing. “What were you two whispering?” Sango questioned when she was finally able to get herself under control. “She's decided to let him chase her for a while,” I explained in between pants and sent us off on another fit. “What's so funny?” Inuyasha questioned as he came into the clearing with a few dead rabbits thrown over his shoulder. “You just missed Kouga and Ayame. Seems he's finally given up on me and is now chasing Ayame, but she's decided to make him sweat a bit,” I explained in between chuckles. “Ha, serves the flea bag right,” Inuyasha replied with a chuckle of his own before sitting down and beginning to cook the rabbits. “Sesshoumaru and Miroku are bringing back two large kills, we'll eat these rabbits for the next few days and dry the rest for later.” “Sounds good, do you need any help?” “Nope I've got it.” “Good. Then time for round two of tag with the kids,” I told him with a smile as I stood up and headed off to where they were still playing. Please R&R, good and bad reviews are welcome, however, I will ignore flames. CreditsLayout and Coding By: JayImage From: Aethereality.net Resources From: Hybrid-Genesis.net |
