Ch 7
(The obligatory fun/fluff chapter)
Disclaimer- It's obvious that I don't own Inuyasha, or the band Bush (or any of their songs)
Kagome woke up to see Shippou sleeping next to her. 'Awe, he's so CUTE!' She smiled and gave him a hug. Then she put him down, and got up to take a bath. Before she got to the spring, Yoko came up to her, "What, no hug for me?" He said as he faked a pout.
"Maybe not this time." And she walked past him, but stopped, and turned around, "But then again, maybe." She gave him a small hug, "I'm going to take a bath, and I better not catch you peaking." She then let go of him, and started walking to the spring.
"Who, me?" Yoko asked, playing innocent.
"Yes, you." Kagome yelled over her shoulder.
Yoko smirked to himself as he headed to camp, 'Oh yeah, I think she feels it too. I really am a smooth operator (once again, he's going to be a tad bit conceded). Now all I have to do is find out how the kit was able to get her to let him sleep so close, then I'll be set for life.' He got to the camp to find Shippou asleep. 'Since he's out I might as well amuse myself.' He thought as he headed for the springs.
~*~*~*~
Kagome was singing 'Glycerin' (by Bush) ". .. . Don't let the days go by:: Glycerin, Glycerin:: I'm never alone:: I'm alone all the time:: are you at one:: or do you lie?:: We live in a wheel:: where everyone steals:: but when we rise, it's like strawberry fields:: if I treated you bad:: you bruise my face:: couldn't love you more:: you've got a beautiful taste.:: . . ."
She stopped when she heard clapping behind her. When she turned around, she didn't see anything. All of a sudden she felt a sharp pain in her exposed back (she WAS taking a bath). Once the pain was gone, she went to the bank of the water, and grabbed Tetseiga. She only had a millisecond after that to dodge, which she did. She looked around, but saw nothing other than a whip go back into the trees. 'I know what that is, that's Yoko's Rose Whip! Is he trying to kill me, or is this a sick game to him?' She ran into the woods, only to have the whip come at her. She pulled out Tetseiga (which transformed) and cut the whip in half. "Yoko, I know that was you! Get out here, and face me like a man!"
She felt strong arms wrap around her, "You know, I would rather face you like this." He purred into her ear.
She got out of his grip, turned, and slapped him across the face, "HENTAI!"
"I was only trying to prove a point, no need for violence." He said while rubbing his newly acquired red mark.
"You're one to talk! Besides, I fail to see your point."
"Simply that you should always be prepared. You shouldn't leave yourself so vulnerable."
"You're the one that lost a whip, AND got slapped."
He laughed, "Yes, but at least I'm not the one without cloths."
Kagome turned bright red as she remembered her lack of cloths. She then smirked, which confused Yoko. Until, that is, she grabbed him by the hair, pulled him to the spring (it was only two feet away), and threw him in. "You know, you shouldn't leave yourself so vulnerable." She said, mocking his voice.
Kagome put her school uniform back on, and waited for him to come up from the water. She waited for a few minutes, but he didn't come up. The only thing that broke the surface of the water was a few bubbles. "Yoko? Stop fooling around." She was starting to get worried, "Come on, this isn't funny! Yoko!" When he didn't come out, she became frightened. "Yoko?" She took a deep breath, and jumped in.
'That's right, a little closer.' Yoko thought as Kagome swam down to bottom of the spring, picked him up, and dragged him to the surface. She put her head on his chest, and heard a heart-beet. She sighed in relief, and checked for a breath. When she didn't feel any air coming out of him, she took a deep breath, and leaned closer. 'Oh yeah, I'm smooth.' Yoko thought as her lips touched his. He took this opportunity, to snake his own tongue into her mouth. Her eyes widened as she pulled back, and slapped him once again, "YOU, YOU HENTAI!!!! I THOUGHT YOU WERE HURT OR SOMETHING, BUT THIS WAS JUST A STUPID JOKE!"
Yoko laughed, "It wasn't stupid. I did, after all, put a minimal amount of thought into it. By the way, nice song. Odd lyrics, but nice nonetheless."
"It's called Glycerin, it's by a band called 'Bush'." She said, almost forgetting about him kissing her. . . almost. "Pervert."
"Band?" He raised an eyebrow, "I've never heard of them before. Are they from your village?"
"Kind of. I'll tell you about it later. Right now, I'm going to check up on Shippou." She started to walk away, leaving behind a (once again) bored fox.
Yoko decided to go for a walk, "It's so boring around here. Oh well, I might just have to make some fun." He ran back to camp, to find Shippou asking Kagome more questions, only these were about the scene he saw between the two adults, in the woods, and by the spring.
"So, he wasn't drowning?"
Kagome sighed, "NO, he wasn't."
"Then why are you so angry at him? It's not like he is going to die from it."
"That's not it."
Yoko walked up behind her, "So you don't care if I die? I'm hurt." he faked a pout, for the second time that day.
"It's not that, it's just. . . you're a pervert! Listen, if I don't go home soon, my mom might get worried about me. I'll be back in a few days, ok?"
Shippou jumped on Kagome's shoulder, "But, Kagome, what about the jewel? Even I know that if we don't get it, Naraku will."
Yoko plucked the kit off of her shoulder, "One problem, kid, finding it. The jewel shards can be anywhere. Besides, why not just wait until this 'Naraku' guy has all the shards, and steal them from him."
"But stealing's wrong." Shippou said, as he took up a new spot on Yoko's shoulder.
"Sure it's not. If someone can't protect what's theirs, they obviously don't want it that much. Right Kagome?"
"No, that's not right! It's wrong to take something without earning it first!"
Shippou was confused, "But what about what Miroku dose?"
"That's different."
"Conning someone, and taking their belongings are not different. Now come on, I'm going to treat you to a good meal!" Yoko seemed happy about something.
Kagome gave him an accusing look, "And what are you so happy about?"
"I just proved my point against you! Something like that is truly a feat to behold, now let's go, I'm sure Shippou is hungry. Aren't you?" Shippou nodded, so Yoko looked at Kagome with a hurt expression, "You didn't think that I would steal the food did you? I am many things, but I am NOT as low as to steal food. . . . . . from someone that needs it more than me," he whispered that last part, so Kagome didn't hear it.
~*~*~*~
Sango was talking to Miroku, while they were out looking for Naraku, "Do you think it was right to leave Kagome with him? He IS a youkia, after all. And a thief at that."
"A thief? How do you know that?"
"I've heard about Yoko. He steals from Lords and Ladies, but I haven't heard of him stealing from demons. I think that he is just with Kagome for the jewel. I don't want to see her get hurt again."
Miroku nodded, "You do have a point, but Kagome is smart. He might be able to steal from unsuspecting people, but I don't think that Kagome would be so foolish. If anything, I feel sorry for him."
"What do you mean?"
"You've seen Kagome fight with Inuyasha just as much as I have. It's not that much of an exaggeration to say that she can be scary."
Sango laughed, "You do have a point. But I still think that we should go make sure she's alright. I know that I saw SesshouMaru the other day."
Miroku nodded his head, "And I felt the energy used for the 'Kazi no Kizu' that day. It makes me wonder what happened. I don't think that Inuyasha would use that attack with Kikyo so close. (they don't know that Inuyasha went to Hell with Kikyo.)
"I guess, but I haven't seen him in a while, it's like he just disappeared, or something. You don't think that SesshouMaru got the Tetseiga, go you?"
"No, Inuyasha would protect that thing with his life, and Kikyo wouldn't let him die, unless it was by or with her. Wait. . . You don't think that Inuyasha has gone with Kikyo to Hell, do you?"
(They don't think that the other persons thinks. ^.^ ) Sango's eye's widened, "He might have! But dose SesshouMaru have Tetseiga?! We have to tell Kagome about this!" And with that said, they rushed off to find their friend.
