~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~CHAPTER 2~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome yawned and noticed Sango was missing. "Miroku, have you seen Sango?" she asked the barely awake monk. "No, I haven't, Lady Kagome. I shall ask Lord Inuyasha." "Inuyasha, have you seen Sango?" The monk got no answer, so Kagome walked over to his tree.
"That's odd, Miroku. Both Sango and Inuyasha are gone. You don't think..." she just left off as Inuyasha and Sango walked into the clearing hand in hand. "And where have you two been? I was afraid that you guys had gotten kidnapped or decided to battle each other or somethin'." Inuyasha blushed and explained, "Kagome chill, we were just...umm...talking, yeah talking!" At this Sango collapsed in uncontrollable giggles. Apparently Inuyasha's obvious lie was hilarious to her. She knew the truth though. They did a little more than talk. But that was between her and Inuyasha, but she was DIEING to tell Kagome! After all, it's not every day that a demon exterminator gets her first kiss, especially by the very thing she should kill! Kagome, being the smart little modern girl she is, noticed that Inuyasha and Sango were holding hands. She thought this was kinda weird but dismissed it as nothing.
"So, Sango, Inuyasha, what did you talk about?" Miroku questioned curiously. He wouldn't admit it, but if Inuyasha and Sango got together, that would leave his path to Kagome clear! But his intentions were, of course, as honorable as they could be, especially for a hentai monk that is cursed with a wind tunnel (a/n: I wonder how Miroku would do all the fun foreplay stuff. Yes I actually think about stuff like that! What else am I supposed to do in geometry? Learn?) in his right hand that will eventually swallow him whole. He did have more honorable intentions than one would think, since he actually liked Kagome for more than her body. ~Though it is a quite nice body but an excellent mind behind it, albeit a vindictive one at times.~ thought Miroku, admiring Kagome's young body.
"Miroku, you're staring." Kagome pointed out.
"Erm, yes, sorry about that." Miroku apologized.
"No problem, just try not to do that, it's kinda creepy when you stare at people and you're eyes go all weird, like they do when Sango hits you too hard with her boomerang." Kagome said calmly. Apparently, Inuyasha thought this was hilarious since he fell on the ground laughing reeeally hard. Sango giggled at him and Kagome just looked at Miroku and mouthed "oh mi gods! What's the matter with him?" Miroku just shrugged at her, as Sango's giggles got worse.
"Okay, something obviously happened when you two were gone, now tell me what happened!" Kagome demanded.
"Inuyasha, should we *giggle* tell them?" Sango said through her giggles.
"Oh, why not *gasping for air*?" Inuyasha said through his laughs and gasps for air.
"Umm, okay, when we were talking we started *giggle giggle*, I can't tell them, you tell them Inuyasha!" Sango exclaimed.
"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?" Kagome yelled.
"Okay I'm telling you! Me and Sango were talking and we started...making out as you'd say in your time, Kagome." Inuyasha spilled the beans.
"Y-you and Sango, making out?! You've gotta be kidding!" Kagome stuttered, flabbergasted (a/n: flabbergasted is a funny word! .), her eyes getting really big.
"Hmm, I should have known. When Sango stepped into the clearing, she looked like she had been kissed several times." Miroku thought out loud, rubbing his chin. ~Maybe I can get Kagome to do this "making out" thing with me. But it wouldn't be much fun if it's just kissing.~
"Oh Sango, I'm so happy for you! You finally got you're first kiss!" Kagome exclaimed like a little middle schooler.
"There was more than one, Kagome! And his hands..." Sango started to tell her before she was interrupted by Kagome clearing her throat and glancing at the boys, one of which was turning multiple shades of red and the other's jaw was grazing the forest floor.
"Sango, tell me later, okay? I don't think we need to do girl talk in front of the guys." Kagome gently explained.
"Okay, Kagome, I'll tell you later." Sango agreed, turning a few shades of red herself.
*~*~*~*~*~LATER*~*~*~*~*~*
"Hey Sango, wanna go to the hot springs? I'm dieing to have a hot bath!" Kagome asked excitedly.
"Sure, I need to tell you about the THING anyways. Just let me get my stuff." Sango told her.
"K, I gotta grab my stuff too. I think I'll use my new lavender bath stuff." Kagome ran off as she shouted her response back to Sango.
*~*~*~*~*~*~At the hot springs*~*~*~*~*~*
"Oh Kami, this is divine! Mom did great with this lavender stuff. Ya wanna try it?" Kagome offered Sango the lavender body wash and fluffy sponge.
"Sure, it smells great! What did you say this was?" She questioned about the fluffy sponge.
"It's called an exfoliating sponge. It gets rid of dead skin." Kagome explained.
"Ew, dead skin? That actually exists on living people?"
"Yeah, it's really gross...but it exists and you feel SO much better after you get rid of it." Kagome said matter of factly. She reclined and just floated about until she saw a movement in the bushes. She panicked and went under for a second, just long enough for Sango to notice that something was wrong.
"Kagome, what's wrong? Did you see something?" Sango asked quietly.
"Yeah, and I don't know who or what it is. But I'm gonna find out. Stay here. I'm going to try to sneak up on it." Kagome whispered to her, trying to look normal.
"Okay." Sango whispered back and tried to look relaxed.
"Hey Sango, I think I left my conditioner in my bag. I'm going to go get it." Kagome said a little too loudly, winking at Sango. She got out and wrapped the towel around her and went in the general direction of her bag, which just happened to be where she saw the movement. She got close to the bush and saw who was hiding his eyes in the bushes, not seeing her sneak up.
"SHIPPO! What are you doing here? Did Miroku put you up to this? Come on, tell me!" Kagome shouted back to Sango, "Hey Sango, it's just Shippo."
"S-sorry, Kagome and Sango. The monk didn't put me up to this. I came to see if you guys were okay. I heard a lot of noises from this direction."
"Oh, Shippo, that was just us talking, you silly little fox!" Kagome giggled. "Now go back to camp, we'll be there in a bit. We just want to finish our baths."
"Okay, see you guys later." Shippo ran off back to camp. Kagome climbed back into the hot springs and was giggling so hard she went under and came back up sputtering.
"Oh gods, he is just too adorable sometimes!" Sango agreed silently.
"Oh yeah, I was going to tell you about the THING. Okay well, I told Inuyasha that I wanted to talk to him and we walked to a clearing and I asked him what he said when Miroku asked him who he liked. He told me that he said my name and I started blabbering nervously and he told me to hush or he might do something we'd both regret. Next thing I knew, he was kissing me and I kissed him back and we kissed for awhile." Sango left it off there, blushing.
"And then..." Kagome encouraged, having a feeling that this wasn't the end of the story.
"And then...his hands...were running up and down my sides and his tongue was licking my lips and he nibbled on my ears and neck." Sango turned an even deeper shade of red at this.
"Sango, that's great! But can I offer you a bit of advice?" Kagome said gently.
"Um sure." Sango nodded.
"Next time, if there is a next time, when he licks your lips, just barely part them and see what he does. He may do something that is very surprising and very cool." Kagome told her.
"That's an odd bit of advice but thank you." Sango was still red and they finished their baths and dressed in silence.
"Well, I guess we should head back to the camp now." Kagome suggested.
"Sounds good to me." Sango agreed, her mind elsewhere. ~I wonder if Kagome likes Miroku. Everyone already knows he likes her. Maybe I can talk to Inuyasha about it.~
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~Back at camp~*~*~*~*~*~*~* "Hey, Miroku, do you really like Kagome? And if you say yes but don't mean it or only like her because she's a girl, I will hurt you. I've come to think of her as a little sister. Or maybe a best friend."
"I do like her, Inuyasha, and I do see her as more than a vessel for my child. I hope that there will be a relationship other than..." Miroku was interrupted by the girls walking into camp.
"Other than what, Miroku?" Kagome asked. Miroku couldn't answer right then because his wits seemed to have left him as smoothly as steam from a teapot when he caught sight of Kagome in a robe much like the one Kikyou wears, her hair glistening wetly in the firelight. She set down her pack and stared at him, slightly alarmed.
"Miroku, are you okay? Inuyasha, did you hit him too much while we were gone?" Kagome said, slightly panicked.
"Oh, yeah, it's my fault that you come in here looking like one of those models from your time and he's stunned speechless. Yeah, my..." right then Inuyasha noticed Sango setting her stuff down, looking every bit the model that Kagome did. ~Wow! How can they both look so nice after a simple bath? Maybe it's just my feelings for Sango and my friendship type feelings for Kagome making me see them in a whole new light.~ Inuyasha thought to himself.
"Um, Inuyasha, Miroku, you guys may want to pick up your jaws off the ground before ants or some other insect crawls in your mouths." Kagome said between very girly giggles. The guys immediately turned red at the thought that the girls had caught them staring. Kagome tossed some instant ramen at Inuyasha and Miroku. "Here ya go, guys. It's a new flavor. Picante beef. Supposed to be really spicy." She grabbed one for herself and one for Sango and put the hot water from the tea pot on the fire in the so they would cook. The boys followed suit. Kagome handed Sango hers and went to sit by Miroku. Miroku, dumb-founded by this, took a big spicy bite of the hot and spicy ramen before he realized what he was doing.
"Um, Miroku, you may not want to take that big of a bite. It really is quite spicy." Kagome warned him, but it was too late. He stuck the big bite in his mouth and yelped when he realized that the beautiful Kagome had not been lying. Gods, this modern food was spicy! Why would people eat this?
"Water....I need water!" He gulped down about a gallon of water and that more or less calmed the fire raging in his mouth. "Kami, why didn't you tell me it was THAT spicy? How do people eat that stuff?"
"First of all, I did warn you it was spicy. And second, people from my time are a little more used to spicy foods because we eat all kinds of foods from all over the world. I think I should have you eat Mexican food. Or maybe a hamburger." Kagome giggled. She could just imagine the look on Miroku's face when he bit into a jalapeno. The idea brought tears of laughter to her eyes. Miroku gave Inuyasha a worried glance. He had no idea what she was laughing about. She had tears running down her face from laughing so hard.
"Um, Kagome, whatcha laughing at? You're kinda scaring us." Inuyasha said quietly.
"Oh, sorry guys. I had a funny idea."
"Would you like to share with the group?" Miroku asked sarcastically, "Since it seems to be oh so funny."
"Oh, I was just imagining Miroku's face if he ever ate a jalapeno. It would be a great laugh." Seeing everyone's dumbfounded looks, she explained further. "A jalapeno is a spicy pepper and it is used in that ramen that we all have but when you eat the actual pepper, it's much worse. And a habanera pepper is ever hotter."
"Oh." came the response from everyone else. Kagome just smiled at them. She was also wondering if Miroku would ever look at her the way Inuyasha was looking at Sango. She really hoped that he would someday.
Miroku felt someone staring at him. He glanced up from his ramen and saw Lady Kagome watching him stealthily. He smiled at her and started watching her. She looked down quickly, embarrassed to have been caught staring. She glanced up to see if he was still looking at her and squirmed under the scrutiny of his gaze. She blushed even harder at the fire in his eyes. She wasn't sure if she wanted to know what was going on behind those lovely eyes of his. She definitely didn't want him to know what she was thinking.
Shippo watched the game of eye tag Miroku and Kagome were playing and didn't like it one bit. He didn't think the perverted monk was worthy of Kagome's attentions. And Inuyasha wasn't worthy of Sango's attentions for that matter. But no one asked him. Just because he was the youngest of all of them, his opinion didn't count when it came to the others love lives. Or where they camped or what they ate, as a matter of fact. No, he didn't like this one bit.
Sango was looking at Inuyasha as he quietly ate his ramen, wondering what he was thinking. ~I wonder if he's thinking about those kisses we shared earlier. I know I am.~ She just grinned at him, wondering if they would sneak away later.
~Why is Sango looking at me that way? It's scary but appealing. I wonder if she's thinking about earlier. I wonder if we can get away from the others later. This ramen is really good.~ Inuyasha pondered, watching Sango but keeping an eye on Miroku and Kagome. It just wouldn't do to have this peaceful evening ruined by Miroku's perverted actions. And Shippo didn't seem too happy about anything. ~I wonder what he's upset about. He's not the one who's falling in love with someone he really shouldn't. After all, he's just a little kitsune. What would he know about having to deal with all this?~ Inuyasha thought after looking at Shippo for a few seconds.
~Nope, I don't like this at all. Dog turd keeps looking at me like he wants to eat me, and Kagome and Miroku are STILL playing eye tag. Sango keeps looking a Inuyasha and Inuyasha is watching everyone, including me. Nope, don't like this one tiny little bit.~ Shippo thought to himself. He was extremely unhappy with the turn of events. All of a sudden, Kagome stood up and looked meaningfully at Miroku.
"Hey, Miroku, would you care to accompany me for a walk in the woods? I would like to talk to you." Kagome said, kinda loudly, stressing the word talk. Miroku seemed to get what she was saying, which is good, because the others didn't. But Shippo decided to make his opinion heard for once.
"Kagome, are you sure that's such a good idea? Going for a walk at night with the hentai houshi? Doesn't sound like the best of ideas to me." Shippo said loudly, getting the attention of the other two, who were just staring at each other.
"Oh, Shippo, I know how to defend myself. Miroku is just a perverted monk. I don't think I'll have too much trouble with him." Kagome said, grinning maliciously.
"Okay, guys, we'll see you later then. Me and Sango will just stay here." Inuyasha said, trying to usher them on their way. Sango giggled and Shippo rolled his eyes.
"I think I'll go visit Kaede." Shippo announced.
"Okay, you go do that." Sango said off-handedly. Shippo looked towards Kagome but her and Miroku were already gone.
Kagome yawned and noticed Sango was missing. "Miroku, have you seen Sango?" she asked the barely awake monk. "No, I haven't, Lady Kagome. I shall ask Lord Inuyasha." "Inuyasha, have you seen Sango?" The monk got no answer, so Kagome walked over to his tree.
