Chapter one

As the shard hunting group settled down for the night everyone was doing their chores. Miroku was getting more fire wood to last throughout the night while Shippo and Kagome where gathering more herbs for her first aid kit. Her miko training had increased over the past three years she had spent with the group that they now surpass even Kikyo's. Sango was fixing dinner while Inuyasha and Kikyo went off to spend some alone time together. As they reconvened back to Sango the group was minus two, so they all began to get situated and as they ate their meals in peace till they could hear a distant yell.

"They're at it again. I can't believe that they can continue to do that almost every time we stop." said Shippo as he continued to eat his meal.

"Shippo! Don't speak like that. You are too young to be saying things like that." replied Kagome.

"Sorry mommy, but don't blame me I had to learn about it from Miroku what they are doing." He replied as he snuggled in her lap giving her a pleading look.

As Kagome heard this she looked strait at the monk who was trying to hide his head.

"Umm now Kagome you know as well as I do it would be better if he heard it coming from me than Inuyasha. And if I may say I placed in the nicest way possible, didn't I Shippo?" He said trying to act as innocent as possible, while also trying to save his ass from the wrath of Kagome.

"Yah momma I learned about the bee's and birds." Chipped in Shippo.

"That's birds and bees sweetie. Yes I guess you right but still I believe he is too young. You should have talked to me before telling him anything Miroku." she said softly.

She than finished her meal and cleaned up the dishes leaving two out for Inuyasha and Kikyo for they were coming towards them as they speak. As she just finished drying the last dish and placing it away in came Inuyasha with Kikyo in his arms bridle style.

" Hello Inuyasha, Kikyo. Your supper is waiting for you two; you had better eat it before it gets cold."

"Thanks Kagome." "Yes thank you." With that the two ate their meal and soon followed the rest of the group in slumber as Inuyasha and Kikyo jumped in a tree and slept.
