Chapter 8
*~*~*~*~*~*~
"What are you talking about?" Kagome asked giving Yusuke a
skeptical look.
Yusuke moved next to Kagome and put his arm around her shoulder.
He couldn't help but smirk as he saw her cheeks take on a
pinkish hue.
"I want to meet your friends, plus I need to be around in case
that doggy-eared boy comes around again."
Kagome assumed that he was talking about Inuyasha.
"Whatever." Kagome said not wanting to admit she was appreciative
of what Yusuke said. As they walked up to the blinds, before
Kagome could move the blinds aside, they were broken off of the
hinges by a very excited Miroku.
"Kagome-sama!!! It seems like I haven't seen you for years." Miroku
said pulling Kagome into a bear hug. Surprisingly for Kagome and
Sango who could see what was going on since there was no longer
a blind (^_^;;;), Miroku's hug had no perverted intentions.
"Miroku I'm glad to see you to but, I sort of can't breath."
After hearing that Miroku immediately let go. Yusuke was about to
explode from where he was standing.
'Who does this guy think he is hugging my Kagome like that. I
barely get to hug her like that why should he?!?!?!'
"I'm sorry Lady Kagome but things have just taken turns for the
worst." Miroku said looking towards Shippo who was resting in a
nest of leaves. Kagome couldn't believe her eyes looking at her
surrogate son.
It seemed he had a fever because his face was very red. Also,
his hair had lost it's reddish sheen, it was more paler than
usual. Kagome could feel tears coming to her eyes.
"Oh my poor baby!!!" Kagome said running towards the small kitsune
and scooping him up in her arms. She was right about the fever
because he was hot to the touch. Shippo slowly opened his eyes
to come face to face with his adoptive mother.
"Kagome?" He said not believing his eyed thinking its hallucination
due to his fever.
"Yes Shippo, it's me." Kagome said not being able to hold back
her tears as she buried her face into his hair.
"Kagome, I thought you left for good after dog-breath let the
dead lady join the group." Kagome laughed at the dead lady
comment.
"Okay Shippo, I think you really need your rest okay." Kagome said
putting him back on the bed of leaves.
"But momma I want to stay with you." Shippo said obviously
drowsy.
"Shippo get some rest and I promise we'll play later."
"Okay." Shippo said as he drifted off back to sleep. Kagome
sighed. They were going to have to come up with some plan to
get back the Tetsiugga and get collect the rest of the few
shards scattered around. Kagome was brought out of her reverie by
a hand on her shoulder. Looking over she saw none other than
Miroku kneeling next to her.
"He really did miss you. We all did." Miroku's hand began to
wander south but before Kagome could yell at him a left out
Yusuke had snatched Kagome away from Miroku growling loudly.
"What the hell do you think you are doing?! Don't you dare ouch
her!!"
Both Kagome and Miroku looked surprised.
'This guy is just as protective over Kagome as Inuyasha was.'
Miroku thought.
Kagome saw that Yusuke was probably going to attack so she
decided to say something..
"Ummmm..Miroku? Where is Kaede?" Kagome said looking around.
"She said Sango was taking to long with the herbs so she went
out to find them herself. Speaking about Sango where is that
lovely maiden of mine?"
"Miroku I brought back some friends from my time including
Yusuke." Kagome said gesturing toward the greasy haired boy.
"Are two of these friends demons because I have been sensing
them for a while now." Miroku said.
"Actually they are demons. Come outside, Sango's already waiting." As
the three walked out they were greeted by frightening yet
amusing sight. Sango was in an offensive stance growling.
Opposing Sango was Hiei also in an offensive stance growling at
Sango. It seemed Kurama and Kuwabara were trying to calm them
down but they were being ignored.
"Yusuke exactly how strong is Hiei?" Kagome said feeling slightly
nervous.
"He's ruthlessly powerful." Yusuke said as if talking about the
weather.
"We got to stop this, Yusuke try to calm down Hiei-." "Why?"
Yusuke said. He thought it was real amusing the way Hiei was
growling at the girl.
"Because I said so!!!!" Kagome yelled. She REALLY wanted to avoid
all fight and from the looks they were giving each other, she
would have to work fast to sustain that. Kagome ran over to the
demon-exterminator.
"Sango you-." Kagome started but was cut off by Sango. "Kagome I
know you said these demons are your friends but this short one
insulted me calling me a weak ningen." Sango said never moving
her eyes away from Hiei.
Kagome looked around for some way to calm down Sango since
Yusuke seemed to be much more amused then help. Kurama was
saying something to Hiei that looked like it made him even more
angry. Not much help. Kuwabara was talking to Kilala about how
much she reminded him of his cat.
Kagome looked around until her eyes landed on Miroku who was
watching the whole seen from afar. Kagome mouthed the words 'Why
aren't you helping me?'
Miroku looked at Kagome like she was crazy. Kagome reluctantly
left Sango's side with all intentions of slapping Miroku upside
his head. (An: I always wanted to do that to Inuyasha^_^)
"Miroku! Help me! We don't have time for this we need to start
formulating a plan to stop Inuyasha, Naraku AND get the Tetsiugga
back!"
"Lady Kagome if I get involved you know Sango-chan will take out
all her anger on me." Miroku said. "Hyaaaaa!!!!!" Both Kagome and
Miroku turned just in time to see Sango catch her boomerang
after a massive throw that destroyed about a dozen trees.
'I really need to put a stop too this' Kagome thought as Hiei
countered attacked Sango.
'This isn't a joke!! They're really going at it! Someone's going
to get hurt!' Kagome said looking on in pure horror as they
fought.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Yusuke thought it was the most amusing thing ever the way Hiei
was acting around that demon-exterminator. Usually Hiei was cool
and calm when about to fight, but the look on his face showed
everything he was thinking. It seemed Kurama was just as amused
as Yusuke, he was trying hard to keep back his laughter.
I walked next to Kurama. "Yusuke I give up. He's not listening to
me." Kurama said chuckling at the evil glare Hiei sent him.
"She is a ningen woman. She is weak and needs to know her
place." Hiei said never moving out of his stance.
Yusuke saw Kagome run towards that monk-guy. Miroku. She had
mouthed something to him. Yusuke didn't want to admit it but he
knew he was jealous. He didn't even want to THINK about the
reason he was jealous. Looking back at the situation at hand he
heard Hiei yell something out.
"Ningen! Are you going to attack or are you finally realizing
that you have no chance at winning?" Hiei said with a cocky
smirk. For some reason arguing with this ningen got him excited.
He WANTED to see her angry. He was even happier when he heard
her growl.
. . .
'THIS GUY MAKES ME SO MAD!!!' Was Sango's last thought before
she threw her Hirakotsu. Hiei easily dodged the boomerang and was
coming straight toward Sango with his katana in attack position.
Sango wwas surprised at how fast he was. She barely blocked his
using her boomerang as a shield. The same thing was going through
both there minds.
'He/She's good.'
Kuwabara came running to the scene with Kilala on his shoulder.
"What's going on?" He asked. Kilala looked at her master with a
worried expression.
"We need to stop this!" Yusuke said charging up his spirit gun.
It was just enough energy to knock Hiei away from Sango. They
both had just pulled apart preparing for another round. Just as
they were about to attack again. Just when Yusuke was about to
fire his spirit gun. Just when Kuwabara realized what was going
on.
Kagome jumped in between the two warriors and put a shield up
around herself stopping the two from fighting.
"STOP! !! ! ! !" Kagome yelled.
"Sango we don't have time for this. We really need to be coming
up with some sort of plan on what we will be doing! You can
fight all you want AFTER Inuyasha's back to normal AFTER Naraku
is defeated and After the shards are collected." Kagome said.
Hiei and Sango glared one last time at each other before Hiei
went back in a tree and Sango walked towards Miroku.
"Lady Sango are you okay?" Miroku said with a worried expression.
"Yeah Miroku I'm fine." Sango said taking a seat on the floor
against another tree.
Kagome sighed as she sunk to the floor. "That was a close one."
Kagome felt a hand on her shoulder. Looking up she saw Yusuke
smiling down at her. Kagome found a strange comfort coming from
Yusuke she smiled up at him.
"Thanks."
It was weird but Kagome could of sworn Yusuke's face turned a
very cute shade of pink.
