Chapter 3

"Inuyasha can't we rest at a village tonight" Shippo asks from Kagomes shoulder. He was tired and afraid that there might be more bandits on the road, but he wasn't about to tell Inuyasha that.

"Why should we? Your not afraid of the big bad wolf are you?" Inuyasha snickered at Shippo.

" No, maybe you should be, since wolfs seem to have an attraction toward Kagome." Shippo yells defensibly. Oops it was to late to take it back know. Inuyasha had a sore point when it came to someone showing him disrespect and saying he was weak.

"Why you little..." He never got further than that because Kagome also tired and cranky gave them both warning glares. " I think we should rest for the night. We all need to recuperate. " Sango suggests.

" There's a village about 3 miles from here." Inuyasha grumbles. " Great lets go I'm sure I can persuade the headman to let us stay." Miroku says slyly.

"Yeah by conning them." Shippo pipes from Kagome. Sending a grin Miroku's way.

Miroku gasps looking a fended with his hand over his heart. " What, I? I'm just an honest monk trying to aide the common man and make a living."

Inuyasha looks back with a exasperated expression "Yeah right Miroku your nothing but a lecher." They all laughed at that and made there way to a small peaceful village just before sundown.

" Villagers" Miroku's voice rings out, turning the people on the streets to his attention. "I'm a traveling monk and I feel great evil coming from here. For a small fee of rooms for the night I'll purge this evil out and bless this village."

" I truly believe he's getting better at this." Sango mummers to them while watching Miroku work his magic.The crowd as always were eating up his words.

He would be a great cars sails man in my time. Kagome thinks while watching the awed and fearful expressions change to hope and wonder. Soon they found themselves in a comfortable room. When they were done with there supper the women were supposed to go into their own room. But for right now they were enjoying a true feast that was spread out before them.

" You know Miroku, sometimes I truly enjoy your way with words." Inuyasha compliments while stuffing down a large piece of fish down his mouth.

" It does have it advantages". Miroku smiles, glad that someone appreciated his hard work. Really they might call him a lecher but when it came down to sleeping inside for a night none of them seemed to complain to much.

After they all were truly stuffed Kagome, Sango and Kirara made their way to their room.

"So Inuyasha, when are you and Kagome gonna do more than hug?" Shippo curiously asks while playing with the corner of his bedroll.

" WHAT ! That's none of your business pipsqueak!" Inuyasha explodes. Before he could get up he stopped frozen when he heard Miroku say " Shippo, Inuyasha is really a shy person you have to give him time. He just got up the courage to tell Kagome the obvious not that long ago."

This was a conspiracy, everybody was out to get him! He turned around to glare at Miroku. "SHY, I'm NOT shy." Inuyasha cracks his knuckles.

"Now Inuyasha. Lets not do anything irrational now." Miroku starts sweating while backing away from Inuyasha, Shippo right behind him.

WACK! WACK!

In the forest back were they had come from two sets of slanted glowing eyes looked out from the brush.

"Soooooo" the first demon hisses to the other "Should we take them out now."

"No, let's wait until the most opportune moment" The second one said.

" Just remember." Came a sharp feminan voice from behind them "The priestess is mine." Kikyo snaps making her way into the clearing.
