NOTES: We finally get to see some plot slowly forming, ne? Well, soon, I promise. I finally figured out what I'm doing with this. Oh, and I forgot to mention this before, but this story is taking place sometime in volume 23 after the whole Naraku vs. Sess/IY incident, but before the weird hair monster thing. Dunno what I'm talking about? That's ok. It doesn't change the plot much, just lets you know where the character's personalities are in the IY story. I'm done babbling now ^^;;;...

Kagome glanced over at Sango who sighed again for what seemed like the millionth time that night. She had earlier noticed Sango staring at the fire with an empty expression. She had asked Sango if she was all right, but Sango simply replied that she was tired and went back to staring at the flames. She looked at Sango with pity. It was probably Kohaku again. They haven't seen him for a while now. Kagome looked towards the entrance of the cave at the pouring rain. *I wonder what Naraku is thinking...*
"Really? No wonder you knew where this cave was."
Miroku's voice caught Kagome's attention as he and Inu Yasha came back from their bath. "Ne, Kagome-sama, did you know that Inu Yasha came here as a little pup?"
Inu Yasha glared at Miroku. He didn't quite know why, but the reference of "pup" was a term Inu Yasha didn't seem to enjoy, especially in his present form.
"Really?" Kagome smiled at Inu Yasha as he approached their little camp.
Inu Yasha sat down in a corner where he could survey both the campsite and the entrance. After a pause, he grinned. "Sesshomaru could never find me."
Kagome smiled at Inu Yasha. "Ne...Inu Yasha...Don't you think you should stay with us by the fire?"
"Feh." Inu Yasha leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.
Kagome stood and walked to her bag and began rummaging through it again. "Most of my things are dry now. Are you all dry Miroku-sama?"
"Hai Kagome-sama." He nodded as he sat down near Sango by the fire.
Kagome walked over to the fire and prepared the instant noodles with boiling water. Shippou followed her with his arms full of utensils, five sodas, and a blanket. "Tonight we're going to have something special." She paused and stood to look at her setting. The blanket was laid out near the fire with five settings for instant noodles and soda. Granted, it wasn't yoden, but it was better than some of the food she found here. Much better in fact. She beckoned everyone to come over. "Dinnertime."
Shippou bounced around Kagome while stuffing noodles in his mouth. "Kagome! What's the special thing we're going to eat, huh? Kagome!"
Kagome smiled. "You'll see. It's for dessert."
"Desert?"
Kagome laughed while picking up Shippou in her arms. "No, de*sert*. You know, it's a special treat for after you eat. Inu Yasha, come over and have some noodles." She paused while setting Shippou down. "I already prepared them." He slowly stood and walked over, taking his place near Kagome on the blanket.
Miroku, by this time, stood near Kagome and waited for her to look his way. "Could I have two sets Kagome-sama?" He glanced back at Sango. "It's warmer by the fire."
Kagome smiled. "Sure!" She handed him two servings. "Oh! And give this to Kirara." Kirara's ears perked up and she jumped off Sango's lap, padding over to Miroku and Kagome. Miroku was still staring at the porkbun wrapped in a clear but clingy wrapper in his hand with unease. "Ano...what is it?"
Kagome took it from him and took off the plastic wrap. "It's kind of like bread, but for a meal. It's a porkbun. Do you mind Sango?"
Sango looked at Kagome at the mention of her name. "Huh? Oh, no, that's ok."
Kagome bent over and frowned while giving Kirara the porkbun. Sango was in a bad mood it seemed. She watched as Kirara bounced over to Sango and laid down next to her, munching on the porkbun.
"Thanks Kagome-sama." Miroku followed Kirara and handed Sango her food while playing with the plastic wrap. The two talked together about something while eating. She gave him a quizzical look as he took out the plastic wrap.
Kagome turned her attention back to Inu Yasha. "What did you do here?"
"What?" He continued eating the noodles.
"When you were young. What did you do in the cave?"
Inu Yasha gave Kagome the empty noodle cup and took a drink of soda. "Nothing much. I usually came here when I got in trouble with Sesshomaru or some other demon. They could never find me when I came here."
Kagome looked around. "Now that I think about it, I get a weird feeling from here. I think there might be a warding here."
Inu Yasha looked at Kagome. "That makes sense." He looked outside. "It was a good place to get out of the rain too. I guess that's why I remembered it."
Kagome smiled slightly. "It's a good thing. We'd still be out there if you hadn't."
Meanwhile outside...
"What the...?" A lone figure stood in the rain under the cover of a large tree. He appeared to be a human, strange marks that looked like lightening on his arms giving him away. He sniffed the air again, wrinkling his nose. "I thought that hanyou disappeared decades ago..."
