inDEPENDENCE {InuYasha Story}{PART OF "THEM"}..::Part 3::..

/Dammit! Whereve they got to!/ you complain to yourself. You look around at the ground. There was tracks leading WSW, towards the mountains. /Went that way did ya?/ you grinned. You were trying to find those fools. You had to if you ever wanted to get the sword. What had Sesshoumaru called it? Tetsusaiga? //Whatever. Ill kill them both soon enough!//
You raced off down to hill, following the tracks in the grass. They werent exactly fresh? They had moved out yesterday morning. Theyd probably be pretty far ahead. You picked up the pace going off at lightening speed. That had nothing to do with jewel shards. You had the natural ability to bolt like the wind.
After about 15 minutes of racing you came across a campsite. Someone had stayed here the night? It had to be them! You looked around and found the direction. SW! You again set off, following the fresher tracks. You were getting closer!
/Kagome, are you and InuYasha ever going to stop fighting?/ you heard the familiar voice of that orange and blue and yellow...fluff ball thing, whatever it was. Shippou.
/Maybe, if InuYasha can learn that he makes mistakes!/ you heard Kagome reply. If theres one thing you prided yourself on it was you ability of putting faces, voices and names all together.
/I DIDNT MAKE A MISTAKE!/ InuYasha yelled at Kagome. Suddenly you felt everything stop.
/Whats wrong InuYasha?/ Miroku asked.
/Shes back!/ InuYasha growled.
//Oh sh*t! Caught!// you thought, as you hid yourself behind a rock. //Okay...act innocent. Befriend them! Itll work!// you decided. You walked out from behind the rock, to come nose to nose with InuYasha. He looked just as shocked as you did.
/Sorry,/ you mumbled, faking embarrassment. //Dumb baka, stay out of my way!// He just stood there looking dumbfounded. Atleast it was only your noses that met, not lips! /Hi,/ you said trying to sound shy.
/Umm, hi!/ Kagome said cheerily.
/Umm...I uhh...wanted to apologise...and umm...say thanks.../ you stuttered. //My gosh! What the hell am I doing? Dumb Sesshoumaru!//
/Damn straight!/ InuYasha said, regaining consciousness.
/I uhh...I guess I was...pretty rude the other day...sorry...you guys saved my life...and I didnt even say thanks...so Im saying it now,/ you said, looking around innocently at them all.
/Thats okay! Were just doing the right thing!/ Kagome said.
/You guys are really nice people!/ you said smiling at them, even InuYasha, and his arrogant rip.
/Oh, well, you know! If someone needs our help!/ Kagome said, taking your hand and patting it, trying to sound modest, but her tone was very cocky. You just laughed at her attempts. /Thats really how we all found each other!/ she continued.
You cocked an eyebrow, looking at her suspiciously. /You mean your not a troupe of saviours, and good-deed-doers?/ you joked lamely, trying to suck up to them.
/No! No! Were collecting the jewel shards!/ she said, smiling at you. /We were sent on a mission, and we have to complete it!/
/Sent? Kagome, you created the mission!/ InuYasha stated loudly, but you ignored it.
/Youre collecting jewels shards?/ you asked excited. /Can I help yous? Ive already got a whole heap!/ you said.
/Really? Wed love your help?/ Kagome said ecstatically.
/So I can join yous?/ you asked.
/Sure! Welcome to th-/ Kagome started, holding out her hand. But she was cut short but a large fang sword, swinging down in between you.
/Hold it, Kagome!/ InuYasha said, and you realised he was the one holding the sword.
//The Tetsusaiga!// you realised. Now you knew why Sesshoumaru wanted it! You shuddered at the sight of it! Getting on the bad side of InuYasha wouldnt be smart either...But once you had the sword in your possession...*evil smirk!*
/We dont let just any old stranger join us! Prove to us your on our side!/ he said in a challenging tone.
//Im not on your side, you idiot!// you thought, but knew better than to say that. /How?/ you asked.
/Oh, InuYasha, get off her back! She has jewel shards! She can help us!/ Kagome whined, pushing the sword down. InuYasha just growled at you both.
/Lets move,/ he grumbled, and turned around, walking away. You watched him walk, taking note of his arrogant strut.
//Anything you say, cutie!// you thought, checking him out. //NO!// you then shouted at yourself, and turned your face away.
You all walked off, following InuYasha, and you, Kagome and the fluff ball called Shippou talked, as you strained your eyes, to stop yourself from staring at InuYasha.

/Well sleep here the night,/ Miroku informed you all. /InuYasha and I will go and collect some firewood. Sango and Kagome, set up here. Shippou andTatakai, was it? Why dont you get some water?/ Miroku asked you.
You quickly nodded, not wanting to be on bad terms with anyone. Unfortunately InuYasha had been cold to you all day, and didnt seem like he was going to ease up in time for you to make with his sword.
You walked with Shippou to a nearby stream, and started filling up weird jars made of some unknown material to you, with fresh water from the stream.
/Shippou, is InuYasha always this cold, or am I just lucky?/ you asked the little demon. You had figured out he was a fox demon during the day. Nothing else could have that hair colour, tricky games, and bushy tail?
/No, hes usually quite mean. Dont worry about it though! Youre very pretty! Hell take a liking to you soon!/ Shippou replied. You finished filling up the jars, and put lids on them, then walked back to the camp site, whilst talking about InuYasha.
When you got back there was a small fire going, and 6 blankets set up around the fire. /You can sleep here Tatakai!/ Kagome said, patting the blanket next to hers.
/Okay, thanks!/ you said, and sat down on the blanket. It felt weird. It was some strange material youd never felt before? /What is this?/ you asked. /And what were those funny jars?/
/Oh! These are sleeping bags!/ Kagome explained, laughing. /And they were bottles! Theyre from my era!/
/Youre era?/ you asked suspiciously.
/Yeah! I come from a different era! Freaky huh?/ Kagome laughed. /Would you like some 2 minute noodles?/ she asked.
/2 minute noodles?/ you repeated. /What are 2 minute noodles?/
/Well...they might take more than two minutes now, we have to wait for the water to boil, but after that youll have cooked noodles in two minutes!/ she said as she poured some water out of the "bottle" into a pot, and put it over the fire, on a spit.
After the water was boiled she poured some into six bowls with a paper-looking lids, and put in some green powder too. She fiddled around with some weird device for a little bit and then set them down on the ground.
/Youre noodles are cooking!/ she said happily. You looked at her curiously.
Two minutes later you heard a small bell ringing. It was coming from the little device thingy she had fiddled with? /What the-?/ you asked. Kagome turned off the bell and handed you a bowl of noodles and a pair of chopsticks.
/Two minute noodles!/ she said, passing bowls and chopsticks around. You lifted up the paper lid and a wave of steam hit your face.
/Ugh!/ you said, holding the bowl away from your face. But it did smell good? You tore off the paper lid and tried some of the noodles. //HOT!// you screeched in your mind. It was burning your mouth! You started fanning your mouth hurriedly, with your hand, trying to get it to cool down. Tears were stinging your eyes. /F...ar out!/ you said, trying not to swear, as you noticed all the others staring at you awkwardly. /You couldve told me it was hot!/ you complain to Kagome.
/It has boiling water in it!/ Shippou laughed at you. At first you glared at the brat, but then cringed, trying to keep up the innocent act.
You sat, ate and talked for a while. The "two minute noodles" were pretty good. Apparently they were chicken flavoured, but they didnt taste anything like chicken? After eating you started to feel a little tired, so you leant back against a log behind you and rested your eyes for a moment, enjoying the silence.
But sadly something interrupted your moments' peace. You felt someone poking your cheek. //What the hell?// you asked yourself, moving your face away from the constant prodding.
/What are you?/ you heard InuYashas irritating voice near your ear. You flicked your eyes open and looked at him.
/Im a person, for one. Im not a corpse, I dont need prodding!/ you told him, swatting his hand away. But he still persisted. He kept poking at you. It was quite annoying! Like a fly that wont go away.
/InuYasha, leave the poor girl alone!/ Kagome told him.
But he still persisted. /What are you? Are you a demon? Are you a human? Are you a half demon? What are you?/ he questioned, poking you twice with each sentence.
//So he hasnt noticed what I am? Boy, he is dumb!// you thought as you moved away from him, but he followed and continued with his poking.
/InuYasha! Leave her alone!/ Miroku ordered.
/Not until I find out what she is!/ InuYasha said. /Im picking up the scent of a demon, but only faintly? And you dont have demon features? You dont have a tail? You dont have demon ears? What are you?!/
/Im going for a walk!/ you said as you stood up. //Just to get away from him, for a little while, as cute as he is he sure as hell can be annoying! Wait! Did I just say hes cute? I didnt mean that!// you told yourself, as you walked away from the light of the fire, towards the woods.
/Can we trust her?/ you heard InuYashas voice faintly. /We dont know what she is, or what shes planning? Shes probably meeting up with Naraku right now to plan our deaths!/
/Naraku?/ you whispered to yourself. /Whos Naraku?/
