CHAPTER SIXTEEN
Not long after that, Kagome was sitting in her tent, when she decided that she wanted to go down to the lake and take a bath. She grabbed a towel-like piece of cloth, and walked towards the water.
She jumped in taking no heed that someone might see her.
"Are you sure that this is a good idea?" Myoga said impatiently.
"I'm sure. Nothing can go wrong. Nobody else is here. What's there to worry about?" Kagome replied. Before Myoga could reason Hsike and Aduroqei came running into
the water.
*Ugh! Now what am I gonna do?* Kagome thought to herself as she hid behind the tallest reed near her.
"Hey Lina! Come here!" Aduroqei called to Kagome as he pulled her out from behind the reeds.
"Yeah. Don't worry the water's so murky nobody can see anything." Hsike said. "We just wanted to ask you how you found the stone."
"Well....I........" Kagome wasn't sure if she should tell them. In her mind the scene from the pond was playing back, when she's in the water. She's looking around and thinking
how her grandfather would handle this situation. Suddenly there's a very faint red glow coming from right below her. She dives down and finds that it was the stone that had been glowing. She grabs it and came to the top.
*How am I supposed to explain that to them* "Well you see the stone isn't a shard of "the jewel" but it is magic none the less. It's like.......*a mood ring but as a stone*" Kagome thought the last bit in her head. "I don't know. If I called it a mood stone would you
understand?" Kagome questioned them.
Both Hsike and Aduroqei nodded but still Kagome could see they didn't really understand.
"I think the stone glows when it can feel a strong emotion. You see when I dove down I was thinking of my grandfather who I just learned had died. It was glowing red, I think that might have been because I was angry and being really stubborn. Was the stone glowing for you?" Kagome said finally noticing that she had put into words what the other two had noticed as well.
"It was glowing purple for me." Hsike said. He was blushing so Kagome guessed that he had been thinking of a lady friend.
"So you think it's magic too! When I asked Inu-Yasha about it he got all mad and told me no then freaked out and kicked me out of his tent saying I shouldn't bother him with something so small." Kagome said.
She was still a little hurt that he would do that but she felt very nervous too because that was the same fight in which she almost told Inu-Yasha to sit.
*Kagome come here!* The thought popped into Kagome's head without warning.
