Kagome was having a great day.

She had just finished a big test and ended up getting a pretty decent grade for someone who was weeks and months behind.

Seeing as she was in such a good mood she decided to bring a giant bag of goodies even some home cooked meals from her mom she was sure everyone would appreciate it. She even brought her bike just so all the burden wouldn't be on inuyasha to carry her.

Weirdly enough he wasn't by the bone-eater's well usually he would pick up her smell and sound and be ready to take her back to the group.

"Oh well they couldn't be far" she thought. Convenient enough kaede's village was near and she had it memorized well enough to travel to it alone.

"Still no sign of him , or anybody for that matter I wonder what's got them busy , a demon maybe?"

Just as she finished her thoughts she saw her companions all around a fire at a campsite .

They seemed to be discussing something that had everybody to occupied to notice her presence.

She should jump out and surprise them all but decided against it in fear of probably getting slashed , sucked up or just plain killed.

Then came her conclusion of just spying

"just to see what they talk about while I'm not around" thoughtkagome

"I'm just saying what if we built a border or something around the village , right now they're basically just demon food anyway if we leave it like it is they would just get eaten" said inuyasha passionately.

She spotted inuyasha but it was something on his lap.

"Is that shippo laying on inuyasha's lap!" Thought kagome it wasn't the fact that It was weird or anything but both of them actually getting along or being close was something she'd never seen from the two all the petty arguments and scuffles they'd get into was something you wouldn't think they did if you didn't know them personally from looking at them right now and oddly enough it reminded her of a mother and child.

"Inuyasha's right I mean its better than leaving them so vulnerable and we already agreed to help anyway" chimed in shippo

Kagome just listened she was kinda surprised not thinking inuyasha particularly cared enough to save a village from any potential harm that wasn't just in the line of fire of an attack.

"Oh well maybe I'm just overthinking it" she thought.

"Fine but were gonna need a lot of supplies I hear there's another place slightly east from the village that'll let us gather some wood to start and the village itself has many tools to make sure the makeshift wall is at least reinforced enough to keep low and moderately leveled demons out" said sango

Kagome giggled quietly to herself , next to sango miroku was starting to snake his arm around her shoulders. "Brace for impact" she thought still quietly giggling.

To her surprise the impact never came.

When she stopped her giggles and looked up from her head being down to say she was shocked was an understatement.

Sango was still sitting comfortably like she was before she started talking but now with the exception of miroku's arm around her shoulders and wait "did she just snuggle closer , this must be me overthinking again"

She heard the bushes rustling on the other side of the campsite which drew her attention but when she looked to see who it was she nearly had a heart attack.

"SESSHOUMARU!?" She thought wide eyed

But to another shock to add to her list that day the group didn't seem like they where on the defense or even bothered by his presence he even sat down at the campsite like he just always came there on his free time

"Oh hey shou your back so whats up" greeted inuyasha then proceeded with everyone else's hi's and hello's.

"Hello everyone have you fared well with finding a solution for that defenseless village to the east" replied sesshoumaru

"How the hell does he even know about that village yet ,even I just found out" kagome was fuming now something fishy was definitely going on but she couldn't just ambush them with questions now she would wait till sesshoumaru left.

So all day she sat in that bush listening to everyone in the campsite on the verge of exploding.

They all where talking as if they were the best of friends, shippo had tired himself out a while ago and was sound asleep on inuyasha's lap using his tail as a pillow, sango and miroku still snuggling by the fire and sesshoumaru and inuyasha talking back and forth with the two.

What made it even more out of place was that sesshoumaru didn't even seem like his usual stoic and cold self but he looked to be among family and that made kagome even more angrier I mean weren't we all supposed to be enemies.

Her attention turned to sesshoumaru as he got ready to speak.

"Well I will be taking my leave now rin is still within the castle and I told her I would be back within the night and about the plan for those human villagers I shall have a messenger and myself bring more supplies at sunrise to help with the construction goodnight everyone"

Kagome watched him walk off still furious, she had so many questions and wanted to know why all these apparent secrets where being kept from her but all that went out the window.

Cause she fell asleep.
