Chapter 3: Remembrance

As Kagome sat on the floor of her room panting lightly she chuckled quietly to herself at what had happened after her mother had told them about the boys.

+++++++++++++++++++++

---Flashback!---

“What!?” The two girls shrieked at the same time they looked at each other and then glanced back at the trail where they had come from not minutes before.
‘Oh no…’ Kagome thought. Of what she had seen so far of the hanyou he was not the most…understanding person of all. They would be lucky to actually get the tale out before he did something stupid.
“Hello?” a voice startled them out of their musings to glance at the boy in monk’s robes who was slowly advancing forwards looking like a mouse in a house of cats. Sango. Slowly stood, not making any sudden movements that would make him think he was about to get seriously hurt. That would come later.
“I can explain,” he blurted out mistaking Sango’s rise as a promise of death. “We were called here to be aides to the two fighters for the tourn—“ he was cut off as a rock came hurtling out of the bushes to collide with the unfortunate boy’s head.
“Introduce us nitwit!” A voice hissed out from the direction the rock came from. He glanced sheepishly back and cleared his throat.
“I am Miroku,” he said with a slight flourish of his staff, “the traveling monk and my companion in the bushes is my friend, the hanyou, Inuyasha.” He finished as he pointed with his thumb over his shoulder where a wary hanyou was emerging from the bushes. “I believe these young ladies mistook him for a threat and fled back to the village.”
“What? So you’re saying I’m not threatening?” Inuyasha spat back at Miroku, who had a small smile on his face, and he heard a couple of the villagers snickering (A/N: that is such a funny word snickering…weird ok back to the story!) His face slowly started turning red and he started to splutter, “How am I—Hey!” As they had been talking Kagome had been slowly inching towards Inuyasha staring at the two fuzzy little triangles that were twitching in annoyance toward the ‘monk’. As he started to speak she slowly stood and jumped the rest of the way to her prey.
Kagome grasped the ears and started to rub them softly, like she would a dog’s ears, earning a small growl, well purr really, of pleasure before Inuyasha realized what she was doing she had sprinted towards her room and locked the door.

---End flashback---

+++++++++++++++++++++

The ears were soft and warm. They had made a small squeaky noise when she rubbed them. She smiled fondly at the memory as she stood to pack her bags for traveling.

OoooooooooooooooooO

Outside, all of those who had been watching were just standing there in shock. Miroku and Inuyasha just went for the classic open-mouthed gaping. Sango was the first one to burst out in laughter, causing everyone to turn at her as she fell to the ground laughing. Then after a moment their mother’s joined in then all of the village then finally the two boys. ‘What the hell just happened here?’ was the first thing that ran through everyone’s minds as they started to laugh.

OoooooooooooooooooO
---Later that night---

The sound of laughter and music filled the night causing all that heard it to either run in fear or join along. The sounds were coming from a large hut in the middle of the village, the village meetinghouse. Candles were lit everywhere along with paper and silk lanterns, casting an ethereal glow on the festivities below. Couples huddled together along the riverbanks, warm in each other’s embrace as they ignored the raucous noise inside.
Kagome sat in a tree thinking, something she rarely had time to do anymore
‘I wonder what mother did with that little fox demon?’ as much as she feared and loathed demons for killing her father, she could tell that this little demon had been untainted and was as pure as she. She gave a wistful sigh as she mouthed silently ‘I hope he is alright…’
Kagome jumped slightly as a raindrop hit the bridge of her nose startling her out of her thoughts. “Great…just what I need right now…maybe if I ask momma about that kit she’ll let me care for him…” she sighed again and leaned back on the trunk of Goshinboku, the god tree. It had been standing in the little garden of her home longer than she, or anyone else for that matter, could remember. It had always comforted her when she needed it, and now she felt as if she needed it more than ever.
“Hey wench!” a loud voice interrupted her thoughts.
“It’s Kagome! Ka-Go-Me! Get it right.” An irate girl yelled back at him.
“Feh, fine then I guess you don’t want to see that little kit you brought in today then do you.” It was darks so she couldn’t see his face, but his voice held a hint of smugness betraying the beginning of a smirk on his lips.
‘Feh, serves her right for yelling at me. Stupid wench.’ He smirked again as she responded quietly
“Is he alright?” she swung down off the branch landing gracefully on her feet turning to face Inuyasha.
“Yea he’ll be fine but he wants to see who saved him.” Glancing in her direction he was a bit startled at the fact that she was completely shocked.
“B-but Sango—?“
“Says she was just aiding you. Not taking any credit whatsoever.”
‘Just like Sango…not taking any of the glory and all of the blame.’ Kagome smiled fondly at the thought of her friend. As the skies opened and the rains poured they rushed inside.
