The stares were making the half-demon nervous. And why was Miroku wearing that sly look on his face? Was he planning some sort of prank on Inuyasha?
"Well, we should not waste any time then," said Miroku. He grabbed Inuyasha by her hand. "Let's start a fire first, while the girls are having their bath..."
Before the two could get very far, Hiraikotsu landed on the monk's head, knocking him out cold.
"Pervert," huffed Sango under her breath.
"Inuyasha, you can't bathe with Miroku! You're a girl now, remember?" Kagome scowled.
"Uhh..." Inuyasha twitched uncomfortably. "I kinda forgot."
Kagome slapped her hand over her forehead in exasperation. "Ugh, honestly..."
"Well," said Sango, "Miroku is not going to help set up camp anymore, so we might as well do it ourselves. Come on, Kagome, you can spread out the sleeping bags; I'll gather the wood for the fire; Kirara will stand guard with Shippo; and Inuyasha, could you hunt something for us to eat?"
"Sure." Inuyasha nodded.
"Good. We can bathe after we've set up camp."
The pack set out to complete the tasks they had divided up amongst themselves. It didn't take long for Kagome to finish spreading out the sleeping bags, and soon she was off to help Sango gather wood. When Inuyasha returned with her kill, the two had already started a fire.
"Let's clean that boar out and put it over the fire," said Sango.
Soon enough the scent of roasting meat was wafting through their camp. Inuyasha licked her lips, her mouth already watering at the thought of food, as she stared contentedly into the fire.
"It's going to take a while before that's done," Sango commented. "Let's head for the springs."
"Ah, yes, a bath sounds heavenly!" Kagome exclaimed with a sigh.
They stood up, Kagome grabbing for her lavender scented soap from the future and Sango gathering the other necessary items, and then the two began to walk towards the springs with Shippo trodding after them.
It was Sango, who suddenly paused in her footsteps. "Inuyasha?" she asked.
"Wha-...?" Inuyasha gave her a lazy look, which Sango returned with one of her own, eyebrow raised in amusement.
"Aren't you going to join us?"
"WHAT!?"
TBC...
