Chapter Two- One Night Camp

Kagome's POV

As soon as we were out of sight, Kouga picked us up and ran off in his whirlwind. I shrieked and clung to him. He chuckled and held me tighter. All of a sudden, he stopped, setting me down. I looked around and saw a fairly large cave. "We will camp here tonight. Sorry. I'm far from my pack." He said sheepishly. "It's fine." He held my hand and we entered the cave.

I set Shippou down and he ran around excitedly, looking at everything. "Whoa! Mamma! There's a hot spring back here!" he called. I laughed and walked over to see. There was a large hot spring nestled behind a wall in the back of the cave. "Wow!" I said. "Kagome." I turned towards Kouga, who was standing by the entrance, watching us. "Yes?" "I'm going to go hunt for food and get firewood. It'll take at least an hour. You could take a bath if you wanted too." He offered.

I nod my thanks. "OK. Shippou, go with him. Get lots of berries, OK?" I said, kneeling. "OK, Mamma." He scampered up on Kouga's shoulders and they took off. I turned back and slid my top off; my green skirt went soon after. I took off my panties and bra and lad them closer to the entrance of the little 'room'. I dipped my toes in the water, feeling that it was a perfect temperature. I slipped in and relaxed, sighing in bliss.

I soaked for a while before dunking my head under the water, my hair fanning out around me. I stayed under there for about a minute before coming back up. I pushed my hair out of my eyes, and stood, the water streaming off my body. I stepped out. I peeked around the wall and saw that no one was there. I quickly dashed for my yellow bag, grabbing it, then running back behind the wall. I picked out my casual clothes: a black shirt with a dark grey cardigan and a jean jacket vest, a black skirt with tiny white polka dots, black combat boots and my jewel shards.

I came out from around the wall. Kouga and Shippou were back and they were setting up a place for the fire. I saw a dead deer and a basket of berries. "Hey, back already?" I asked. They looked up. Kouga stared at me. I smiled and twirled for him. "Mamma, you look pretty!" Shippou commented. "Thank you Shippou." "I agree with him." Kouga said a slight blush on his cheeks. "Thanks."

I sat, tucking my legs underneath me. "So, what did you get?" "A deer, some fish and berries." I nodded. After a while, dinner was ready and we ate quietly. "That was good." I said. Kouga thanked me.

We spent the rest of the night talking before going to bed, me and Shippou in my sleeping bag, Kouga by the entrance to the cave.
