Chapter 2- Secret

"Well, I am going sleep!" Miroku said after they ate, and when he left, Shippo followed him. Back in Kaede's hut, Inuyasha, Kagome, Sango, Kaede, and Kirara were sitting, and staring into the fire. "Inuyasha, why don't you join them?" Kagome asked politely.

"Why? I aint tired." Inuyasha in fact WAS tired, but he wanted to continue the argument that they had while going back to the village. Seeing that Kagome wasn't going to even look at him, he got up and said, "I am gonna take a walk, so I can think of ways about WHY boys are by far better than girls."

"Just wait one minute Inuyasha," Kagome said, "Now, SIT! Ok, you can go now." Inuyasha walked out of the hut, grumbling because his back hurt.

When he was out of sight, kagome asked, "Kaede, could you keep a secret for Sango and I?"

"What do you need to be kept secret?" Kaede said. Curiosity started to overcome her.

"Sango and I were thinking of going away, with Kirara, for a while. You know, without the boys." Kagome glanced over at Sango, who smiled at Kaede.

"Why would you want to do that now?" Kaede wasn't sure about this.

"We just want to get away from the complaints, and the fights for a while." Sango explained. She was happy that they were going to go whether the boys knew about it or not.

"Well, ok, but don't be one too long ok?" Kaede loved the two girls very much and would hate it if they got hurt or worse......

"Don't worry about a thing," Kagome said with a smile, "We have Kirara! And each other to depend on."

"When are you leaving?" Kaede hoped it wasn't tonight, but.....

"Tonight, when everybody has gone to sleep." Sango said.
