The Diary of a Chibi Act 1

Chapter 8: Over the Hill and Far Away

A very angry Kagura flew over the village following the 'men' of the Inu-tachi as they dashed off into the night.

Kagura was now wearing her regular red and white kimono instead of her favorite red one. Mainly because of Kohaku's clumsiness, her kimono managed gain three more stains after the incident with the green tea. One looked accusingly like one of the mud cakes that Kanna usually makes when she wants to 'be creative'.

The wind sorceress sighed, 'Apparently seniority has no meaning when it comes to those two' Kagura thought sarcastically, meaning Kanna and Kohaku of course.

She followed Inuyasha all the way to what appeared to be a secluded area of the village, 'Hm secret meeting?' Kagura thought, as she lowered her vessel and hid behind a random by tree.

"Okay, I think we lost 'em" Inuyasha stated, apparently still buzzing with energy after running so far from the hut. Miroku glared, trying to catch his breath, all those years chasing women really paid off.

"They weren't chasing us, I fail to see the reasoning as to why we had to run so far away" the annoyed monk complained, fixing his beads, before pointing the direction from which they came. All they could see of Kaede's hut was noting but a pillar of thin smoke dancing in the wind.

"Inuyasha's dust stupit" Sesshy muttered angrily, not in the least bit winded, and currently glaring daggers at the giddy Inu youkai. 'And he's clearly proud of that fact' Sesshy thought to himself as he watched the demon whistle at the amount of distance be put between them and the hut.

"Where are we by the way? I haven't seen this part of the village before" Inuyasha blinked, only now taking in his surroundings. Apparently they had run so far that they were on the border between Kaede's villages and the one neighboring it. They were at the in the middle of one of one of the more 'Adult orientated areas' of town.

Miroku's face lit up with a lecherous grin, so perverted little children would hide under their beds. It seemed he knew this place very well. "Ah, Inuyasha, interesting place to get rid of the women, aye?" Miroku jostled the dumbfounded youkai, as he waggled his eyebrows suggestively.

"Oh brother" Sesshy rolled his eyes before putting his fist to his head in defeat.

Inuyasha looked between Miroku and Sesshomaru before looking around the area again. There were plenty of men, but there were some women too, that were dressed- barely dressed- in anything. And was it just him, or did there seem to be a lot more inn's and bars here than anywhere else in the village?

"What is this place?" Inuyasha questioned aloud, earning him a disbelieving look from Miroku, and a glare from Sesshomaru.

"Y-You mean you've never been to the red-light district before?" Miroku gasped out nearly having a fit. 'But then again why would he want to go here? He's always had a girl; still wouldn't he want to mingle here, after all he is currently single no attachments to speak of…let's celebrate' Miroku debated with him self before coming to a conclusion, grinning creepily.

Inuyasha backed away, "'Roku, your inner hentai is starting to show" the youkai pointed out.

Said monk flashed a smile, grabbing Inuyasha's arm, he began to drag him into the nearest tea house. "Time for some guy time" Miroku grinned, pulling a stuttering Inuyasha along.

Sesshomaru scoffed, "Of course they don't realize that in my current state I cannot follow them; this Sesshomaru will just go look for that mortal girl with the sweets" Sesshy grumbled to himself while changing into his 'orb of light' form before zooming off on the scent of the girl, Shiromi.

If he cared to notice at the time, he would have one, picked up on Kagura's scent as he passed her hiding place, and two that his oh so adorable lisp had suddenly left, as he was now speaking with the tone and vocabulary of a fully grown youkai.

"Wow! Kagome-chan this is awesome!" Shiromi exclaimed at the sight of the mountain bath.

"I know isn't it, certainly one of the best parts of this era" Kagome agreed, testing the heat of the water.

"Now we can have some girl time away from those guys, and come up with a plan" Sango intoned, leaning her hiraikotsu on a big rock close to the spring. After a few minutes the three were exhaled a collective sigh as they relaxed into the warm water.

"This is great…really Kag's no wonder you come here all the time" Shiromi muttered distantly. Shippo floated by randomly spewing water out of his mouth like a fountain.

"This isn't the only reason I come here Romi, I have to collect the jewel shards as well y'know-besides that now we have a different problem to deal with" Kagome started, getting down to business, " First off we are lucky that we haven't heard a peep out of Naraku so far, but he'll show up"

"He always does" Sango added darkly, whilst braiding her recently cleaned hair.

"Naraku…Naraku hm where have I heard that name before…?" Shiromi thought out loud, tapping her chin in thought.

"You've heard of Naraku before? But wait I didn't mention him did I well I didn't explain who he was anyways" Kagome added.

Shiromi twirled the water with her finger for a moment before she perked up suddenly excited. "That's it! No you didn't tell me about Naraku, I know him…well a Naraku anyways there's this guy at my school, Kurokawa Naraku, he's been in my class since elementary, he went away for a couple of years and now he's in my homeroom class" Shiromi explained smiling.

Sango and Kagome looked at each other, confused for a moment before Kagome smiled lightly. "Hm, it's probably just a coincidence, there could be a lot of people with the name Naraku…" Kagome reasoned, and Shiromi nodded in agreement.

"…Still that is a huge coincidence is it not?" Sango intoned, a bit worried, she twitched as she spotted Shippo still floating. "You, take a bath right now all that floating is highly vexing" She stormed, as Shippo 'eep'-ed and began scrubbing furiously.

Shiromi and Kagome stared blankly at the irate demon slayer. Sango looked up, laughing nervously. "Sorry, without Miroku around I have no one to be spontaneously angry at, Heh-Heh"

"Anyways Naraku is a half demon and fifty years ago Inuyasha and Kikyou the priestess who I am a reincarnation of... he tricked them into hating each other. So Kikyou pinned Inuyasha to a tree because he 'supposedly' betrayed her and Kikyou died of a fatal attack, well supposedly.

"Ah, so basically Naraku wants the full shikon jewel and now we are in this huge race to gather the shards of the jewel." Kagome finished, taking a breath after such a long story.

"Oh so when you said Kikyou was supposedly dead, you mean she's not?" Shiromi questioned.

"She was dead, but she was revived, partially and now she's wandering around here, absorbing wandering souls, basically she's supposed to be dead" Kagome answered, shuddering as she remembered how Kikyou was revived.

Shiromi nodded in understanding, looking up she gasped, eyes wide at the orb of glowing light that floated above the small spring. Shippo looked around wildly as if he was spooked by something.

"If Sesshomaru is here then where's Inuyasha" Shippo asked, quickly hiding behind Kagome.

"This is Sesshomaru?" Shiromi questioned, reaching out to hold the glowing orb; the light grew bigger before taking the form of a small child.

Amber eyes glared at the surrounding girls, as he landed gracefully into Shiromi's waiting arms. "You better not get this Sesshomaru wet, woman" Sesshomaru growled.

The three girls pouted in disappointment. "Sesshomaru, where did your adorable chibi voice go?" Kagome questioned.

Sesshomaru glared at her, "I killed it" He snarled, glaring at the hiding Shippo.

"Oh, you mean you grew out of it" Shiromi exclaimed, and Sesshomaru looked at her. "Oh, so you understand…I knew there was something I liked about you" Sesshomaru stated, turning back to Kagome.

"Woman of Inuyasha, this Sesshomaru commands you to return him back to his lands-in his proper form…Spending time with my little brother is enough retribution to last a life time" Sesshomaru ordered, hopping out of Shiromi's arms and onto the side of the pool.

"Urm, about that…" Kagome started looking about hesitantly. Sesshomaru glared, eyes bleeding red for a moment.

"Oh, just hold on for a moment, we are still naked here, wait until we are decent!" Shiromi shouted waving her hands wildly. Sesshomaru huffed, they were indeed naked but that didn't matter to Sesshomaru, they weren't as strong as female demons, they were humans, still...

"Woman…you are right you should show respect to this Sesshomaru and be covered in his presence, very well" with that Sesshomaru flashed off, supposedly to Kaede's hut.

Kagome sighed in relief, "Thanks Romi" She breathed out, as they slowly left the pool. Sango paused as she was tightening her yukata.

"Just where are Miroku and Inuyasha?" She questioned angrily.

Miroku laughed joyfully, he was drunk and surrounded by beautiful women. Inuyasha on the other hand had a problem keeping still as now instead of his ears, people were petting his tail, commenting on how soft it was.

A dark haired waitress paused at their table for a moment, narrowing her dark eyes at the two men. She stepped up to their table, all the other girls who noticed her fled, recognizing her immediately.

Inuyasha and Miroku looked around as their table was evacuated, and the dark haired woman came closer. She stood directly in front of Inuyasha, grabbing his face and turning it side to side, before glaring at the inu youkai.

Inuyasha widened his eyes, as realization hit him. "Kikyou, what are you doing in a place like this?" he questioned, as the priestess let go of his face.

Kikyou glared at him, "I should be asking you the same thing, don't you have that girl to frolic with…what are you doing here?" she asked not answering his question at all.

Inuyasha turned to Miroku who had left the scene, in search of his fleeing beauties. "That idiot dragged me here, he has a woman I don't know why he keeps this up"

Inuyasha answered, looking at the once priestess dressed in a pale blue kimono, the regulated uniform of the tea house. Kikyou hummed in understanding, looking around.

"Wasn't there a smaller demon with you two before?" Kikyou asked looking at Inuyasha oddly.

'Wait where is Sesshomaru…did he go back' Inuyasha shot up, grabbing Miroku, and saying goodbye to Kikyou. If Sesshomaru was where he thought he was; both he and Miroku were in for a world of hurt.
