Chapter 35 - A Most Vexing Routine
It was the third day of her journey and Kagome was already beginning to detect a pattern.
They would get up in the morning and break camp. If there was no food left over from last night's dinner Inuyasha would hunt. After the camp was broken the brothers would be content for a few, blissful hours. Kagome would daydream of her perfect life after this little side trip while Inuyasha and Sesshoumaru thought about whatever they thought about. Food? Fighting?
When the sun began to climb higher into the sky the tempers would start flaring. Everyone always seemed hot and bothered from the warm summer weather, probably accentuated by the layers of clothing. Eventually Inuyasha or Sesshoumaru would say something that annoyed the other and Kagome was given a little break to catch her breath at the side of the road as they battled. The miko was still conflicted about this part of the routine. She wasn't sure whether she preferred the rest or whether she would prefer not wasting valuable time.
Once the brothers called a truce the band would continue walking, but the tension was always different after their fights. The two brothers would be at one another's throats; Inuyasha just itching for a chance to draw out Tensaiga, Sesshoumaru offending his brother with his usual taunts. This would leave Kagome with a headache until just before sunset whereupon they'd set camp, bicker, eat, argue, bathe if there was a stream in the area, quarrel and then sleep.
