" I wonder if InuYasha remembers." Yuki touched her lips and remember the kiss that they shared. They were resting at another village and the others were looking for clues about Naraku's whereabouts. She walked out of the hunt to look for the others. She saw the monk tricking the headmaster with fake charms so they can rest another night.
" Where's InuYasha and the others?" Yuki asks.
" Kagome and Sango attended to the injured and InuYasha is helping the villagers by carrying firewood," Miroku said and then they saw the fox demon being chased by some snotty brats.
" What are those?" Yuki pointed at the paper that had written words on them.
" Oh, these? It drew away unwanted evil demons and spirits that may cause harm to the village." He said and placed one on the hut. A small weak demon came out and he used the bottom of his staff to kill it.
" I hope that one day I can be useful to the others and not just baggage." Yuki wanted to be able to help the others too instead of being away from the trouble.
" You're not baggage, Yuki. -- You need to think more of yourself." Miroku comforted her as his hand was inches away from her butt.
" Miroku! What are you doing?" Sango asks.
Chills went down his spine and he slowly remove his hand." It's not what you think, I was just making her feel better." He explained.
" Is that true, Yuki?" Sango questions but had her suspicion.
" Yes, it's true. I just want to be more useful to the group." She said.
" I can teach you some simple moves, just ask." Sango offered then saw the monk getting cozy with another woman." That's a lecherous monk!" She ran towards him with her weapon out.
Yuki sat down and looked at the sky I wonder what my parents are doing now? I know they're worried like crazy but I'm in good hands She said and smile as she looked at the others from her view. She felt a shard underneath her hand and stare at it. Out of nowhere, it emerged into her skin, and her body pulsed.
Naraku castle stands somewhere far away.
" The shard is inside of her," Kana said in her soft voice and showed Naraku through the mirror.
"Make her betray Kagome." Naraku chuckled." If fails then capture her." He said.
" Yes, Naraku." She obeyed.
The others ate and fell asleep except for InuYasha and Yuki.
She could not fall asleep with the thought of that half-breed. She turned her head and saw that InuYasha was wide awake. He has such a serious expression- I wonder what is he thinking about? She looked away before they could make direct eye contact.
" Hey, InuYasha," Yuki called out and broke him out of his thoughts.
" What do you want?" He asks.
" D-Do you r-remember when we kissed that night?" Yuki was flustered as she remember that scene all over again. She began to fiddle with her fingers afraid of what he would say.
" Oh-- well .....yeah." He answered and looked at her but she was faced in the other direction. He remember when they kissed and blush smeared across his face.
" Sit boy!" Kagome said in her sleep before turning to her side. His face is planted on the ground as he growls in pain.
"Really Kagome." He cried out.
It was really awkward after that." Get some sleep." He threw his Cloth of the Fire Rat at her face.
She wrapped herself in it warmly as she came close to him and put her head on his shoulder. I'm going to tell Kagome about who I like She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
