Stomach churning, she skipped dinner that night.
She knew the others were concerned, but she could not reveal to them what had happened that afternoon. She fervently hoped they would never find out…

The heat was oppressive. Inuyasha and Shippo were napping in a tree, while Sango and Miroku quietly slipped off hand-in-hand into the forest for a lover's stroll.
Kagome, wishing to be useful, took a basket into the woods in search of berries, herbs and mushrooms to enhance whatever was caught for dinner. She made a point of entering the forest opposite of where the lovers disappeared. The last thing she wanted was to stumble across them during an intimate moment.
She searched diligently and filled her basket with ease. Looking around, she spied the beach of a small lake and was delighted to see it. Not only did it confirm she was close to camp, but a little wading would be a cool treat.
As she approached the shoreline, she became aware of something splashing frantically in the waves. Closer inspection revealed a small figure flailing about in the water. It looked to be in trouble, possibly drowning. She rushed forward to help, actually touching the little creature before she recognized who it was.
"Jaken?" she asked, recoiling in shock.
Surprised, the kappa leaped up, unintentionally flashing the virginal miko with full frontal nudity. Kagome got an eyeful, and an earful, as the angry imp screamed at 'the vulgar human' for peeping. Blushing furiously, she turned and fled back to camp, the image seared onto her brain.

Though the two packs had declared a truce, she didn't doubt he would complain to Sesshoumaru about her alleged voyeurism. She groaned at the thought of their next meeting. She KNEW she would see a smirk behind the Daiyoukai's eyes.
