Hey everyone! It's been a while... again. Oh well, I suppose that I'm never going to update when I plan to, so skittish is my style, apparently. I'm babbling, unfortunately, so just bare with me for a moment, I do plan on eventually getting on with the update. Which I should probably do now... yeah. Enjoy!

Chapter 14: Planning
From that day onwards, Inuyasha avoided Kagome, and Kagome went for longer and longer baths each night. Two weeks later, with a thoroughly confused Sango, Miroku, Shippou and Kirara, Kagome was taking two-hour baths (or longer) and she and Inuyasha had formed a sort of distance between each other.
Kagome schemed and planned, randomly bursting out in diabolical laughter. Inuyasha was the one that mainly kept the distance, instinct making him more and more agitated each time she laughed. It got to the point where whenever she took longer in a bath, he found himself thanking Kami for the relaxation time.
They continued to travel long distances, with Kagome telling them where to go for the jewel shards. Soon Sesshoumaru stopped by, wanting to know when, exactly, she was going to do this prank. She let out a low laugh that chilled his blood and told him that the plan was in motion. All he had to do was to find a witch or sorceress and tell Kagome where she was so she could lead the hunters in that direction for the final stage of her plan. He agreed to do so, and disappeared, leaving her to do as she wished.
It was many days before Sesshoumaru met with her again. And, to her untold embarrassment, she was bathing at the time. He told her that if she went in the north-westerly direction, she should find what she was looking for in the next few days. After her given information, she dismissed Sesshoumaru by turning her back and laughing lowly, making him wonder if leaving this totally in her hands was a good idea. Even commissioning her to do this seemed a little unwise now.
Kagome went back to camp happier that night, making Sango, Miroku and Kirara, as Shippou was already asleep, wonder what got her in such a good mood.
Inuyasha, however, sensed impending doom and clenched his teeth, dreading the next few days.
And rightly so, too.
Oh dear. Things aren't looking good for poor Inuyasha. Kagome is confusing and worrying everyone. And, seeing as how both Kikyou and Naraku are being neglected, I think I might include them once more. See you next time on Bow.
