“Tug-of-War”

Kirsten rubbed her soar arm as the group made their way down the dusty path to Kaede’s hut. Kagome had her arms crossed with a smug frown on her face; it was as though she was meaning to kill. After about five minutes of silence the calm scene was broken. “Inuyasha, why did you push her in the well like that? She could have got hurt pretty badly you know.” Kagome implied her arms still crossed. Inuyasha didn’t yell nor complain all he managed was a simple “Feh.” Kagome’s frown deepened and she jumped in front of Inuyasha, her arms spread out. “Inuyasha aren’t you going to apologize to her? It’s common since you know!” She yelled causing the others to turn around to look at the commotion. Inuyasha’s eyebrows lowered. “Why? I shouldn’t have to, she was going to jump anyway, gosh.” He yelled back turning his head away gruffly. “I can’t believe you!” Kagome said shaking her head, “You’re always so stubborn!” She yelled whipping around so that her back was facing Inuyasha. Their bickering went on for what seemed like forever until Kirsten broke the fight. “I’m fine really, he’s right I would have jumped anyway. It’s no big deal, so don’t fight.” She told them shaking her head. Kagome and Inuyasha managed to stop fighting but their glares filled the area with an evil aroma.

“There is Kaede’s hut.” Miroku said pointing his staff in the direction of the hut. They finally reached the hut and Sango gently knocked on the wooden door. There was a slight pause, and the sound of footsteps could be heard. The door slowly opened and a girl about seventeen years old with Mahogany hair answered the door. She had a firm smile planted on her face and two small braids were attached to the back of her hair with a red cloth. “Hello, may I help you?” She asked opening the door fully. Sango pulled at the leather strap holding her weapon. “Yes we are here to see Kaede?” She asked a bit confused. Kirsten stood behind Sango with a confused look on her face. I don’t remember her in the manga? She told herself scratching at her arm. “Kaede is out right now, but you may come in to wait for her.” The girl said standing behind the door to let them in. “By the way my name is Nozomi.” She told them smiling cheerfully.

She led them into the room and they retired to take off their shoes and seat themselves on the cold wooden floor. Kirsten was not used to this method because it wasn’t common in America, so she just did what the others did. “ Nozomi, where is Kaede anyway?” Miroku asked crossing his legs. Nozomi took her place on the wooden floor between Kirsten and Miroku. “I don’t exactly know, she just said she was going out for a while. I don’t know when she’ll be back.” Nozomi continued fiddling with her fingers. Miroku tilted his head, and it seemed as though he was deep in thought. “Not to be rude Nozomi, but why are you here?” He asked a suspicious look on his face. Her eyes focused on the monk, and she seemed nervous. “My father lives in this village and Kaede is helping me out with my new chores.” She answered, a little more confident. Kirsten was silent throughout the conversation, she was trying to remember where she seen Nozomi before, but nothing came to her. This is weird; it seems Miroku even suspects something because he’s not acting like his normal self. She thought to herself, hands placed on her knees.

Nozomi quickly looked out the window to find a dusky sky. “She hasn’t returned yet and it is nearly night-fall. You may stay here to wait for her if you please.” She told them the same smile planted on her lips. Kagome returned the smile, “We’d love to, and besides we have to talk to her about something anyway. We will stay here and wait for her.” She said quickly setting back against the wall. Inuyasha frowned with disappointment, but he didn’t say a word. “Alright then. I’ll go retrieve some blankets for your stay.” She said standing up her hands clasped. She turned towards the front door leaving the group to their silent conversation. The door shut behind her and a sigh left her lips. “That monk is a troublesome one.” She said her hand slipping inside her kimono, her hand slipped back out, and a rose was clutched in her fingers. “I’m going to have to kill more than one of them to reach the half-breed.” She said with a disgruntled look on her face. “Or I’ll have to get them to trust me, it’s the least they will suspect. A slight giggle escaped her lips. I just hope I can do this. She thought walking into the night.
