Kagome woke up feeling like shit. Sitting up in her sleeping bag with a blank look on her face, she stared into the forest, lost in a haze of crappy sleep. She had slept a good six and a half hours but she couldn't get comfortable, she tossed and turned all night, woke up with so much oil on her skin she could scrape it off with a knife, and her head hurt. It was that nagging hurt, like when you fall asleep for a few hours then wake up feeling worse than when you went to sleep.
She flung open her sleeping bag and reached into her backpack for her camp coffee maker. Kagome loved the campy feeling of the metal pot with it's blue paint and white speckles. Pouring in a bottle of water she put it on the fire to boil. Turning her attention back to her backpack she took out her matching cup, coffee grounds, sugar and those individual packets of French vanilla coffee creamer. Grabbing a baby wipe she wiped her face clean, relishing the feeling.
Dropping out of the tree across from her, Inuyasha scowled down his nose at Kagome.
"You ready to go?"
"No."
"Why not? All you need to do is pack up and we can get moving. I've been…"
"Inuyasha, I'm not awake enough to listen to you squawking at me. I swear if you don't knock it off something bad is going to happen."
Inuyasha snorted at her in disbelief. "What can you possibly do to me?"
Fixing her coffee and popping a couple aspirin, Kagome sipped, letting out a long sigh.
"I can give Shippo a cup of black coffee with sugar, then leave him with you all day." Settling into her cup Kagome enjoyed the quiet morning.
