Turmoil in Tents

#3: Kikyo needs to get it!

You'd think by now Kikyo would understand that Inu-Yasha HAS NO INTEREST IN HER!! I'll get around to it… someday… ^^

AND HERE IS CHAPTER THREE!!!



When Kikyo finally emerged from her tent, the group stared (Kouga stared a little more admiringly). For the hike, Kikyo was wearing her hair pulled back (decent), mini-MINI skirt (indecent), her slightly tinted purple shades (which compared to the rest of the group, would do nothing at all against the suns rays), she had on a tight, Tight, TIGHT shirt on that was so tight (no duh!) that it didn't look like she could move (indecent), and lastly: knee high, high heeled boots! (Talk about 'I only hike in a mall!').

"You're expecting to hike in that??" Sango asked.

"What? You guys said on this trail I might want boots!"

"It's going to be MUDDY!" Kagome pointed out with disbelief. Kikyo just about passed out.

"M-m-muddy?" she squeaked.

"YA! And how do you expect to climb over rocks in a skirt that BARELY COVERS YOUR UNDERWEAR???" Inu-Yasha hollered.

"Oh I've done it before!" Kikyo huffed, " and someone will just have to carry me over the mud! Let's go! We're wasting time!" And off she stalked.

"If she has been anywhere that can't get a signal to a TV, then I'm Jerry Springer!" Miroku muttered to Kagome.

"We're wasting time? She should talk! She's the one who slept in half the morning!" Kagome responded even though it was only 7:30.

"Ok!" Inu-Yasha called, "before we leave, Miroku is either going first, or behind a guy!" He turned to Miroku, "Make your pick!"

"You always take the fun out of things." Miroku sniffled as he walked over behind Inu-Yasha.

"Actually, I want you up front! Blaze the trail captain!"

"WHAT? YA MEAN I DON'T GET A CHOICE??"

"Nope!" Kagome chirped while twirling her beloved sledgehammer.

"Does she have to take that thing every where with her?" Miroku muttered as he started up the trail.

"Of course!" Sango said in surprise, behind him, "what if she were to run into a guy like you?"

"Me?" replied Miroku as if he had no idea what she was talking about. Sango rolled her eyes; glad he was in front of her where she could keep an eye on his hands.

"Wait!" Kagome shouted. Everyone stopped. "What now???" everyone said in union.

"I forgot something important!" Kagome raced back to camp, grabbed her enormous backpack, stuffed her first aid kit into it plus her sledgehammer: carrying a bow and a quiver of arrows would be easier, and grabbed the lunch and ran back in front of Inu-Yasha and behind Sango.

"Now can we go?" Miroku asked.

"Yup!" they proceeded on for a while and everyone enjoyed the scenery of the woods. At one point Kagome swore she saw a fox but no body else saw it. Well, Kouga claimed to have seen it but no one believed him. Inu-Yasha couldn't believe how Kagome was going non-stop with that 200-pound backpack of hers. He thought she would slow them down but he was wrong: Kikyo did instead. She was constantly stopping claiming that her legs weren't used to the exercise. 'What, with all that shopping you must do?' Inu-Yasha thought. Kikyo was constantly sitting down on every rock they passed saying that it would be a good place for lunch.

"I'm sure it would be Kikyo," was similar to what the group would say and they'd move on.

"She'd say it was a good place if there was a bee hive right above it!" Inu-Yasha muttered.

"Just as long as it wasn't her right under the hive…" Kagome stated.

"Good point"

They finally came to their first sea of mud. (hehehe!)

"Inu-Yasha! I'll bet you're the strongest one here!" Kikyo flirted.

"And I'll bet you're the weakest!" Kagome called back. Kikyo was shocked at such a comment.

"I AM NOT!" she started to cry.

"How much you want to bet?" Kagome whirled around and pushed Inu-Yasha out of her way so she could face the ditz, "Here! You carry the backpack for the next half-hour! See if you can make it for five minutes!"

"That's not the point I'm trying to make!" she looked at Inu-Yasha over her shoulder, "Will you carry me over the mud?" She gave him BIG puppy-dog eyes and pouted.

"If you don't watch out, your lips might stay that way, Kikyo!" Kagome sang as she started crossing the mud. Kikyo glared at the back of Kagome's head. Then Kagome wondered to herself: 'why do I care if Inu-Yasha carries Kikyo across the mud? What's wrong with me?? Why should I care? Maybe I just like teasing Kikyo. Yea, that's it.' She pushed Inu-Yasha out of her mind and kept going. It ended up that Kouga took Kikyo across the mud because Inu-Yasha refused. Well actually, he walked out into the middle of the mud path and said that if she walked over to him, he would carry her the rest of the way across the mud. She gave up.

*~*~*~*

"Okay! Who's ready for lunch?" Miroku called.

"ME ME ME ME ME ME!!!!!!" screamed Kikyo who had been begging for lunch for the past hour.

"Ya, sure!" Sango agreed behind him. They found an excellent place to stop for lunch and Kagome passed out bento boxes.

"Mmmm! This is good, Kagome!" Miroku commented.

"Why, this is the finest thing I've ever tasted!" Kouga preached.

"Don't you think you're taking it a bit far, Kouga?" Inu-Yasha stated.

"Nonsense!"

"Me think that our dear friend Kouga has his head in the clouds…" Sango noted. Kagome snorted into her juice box and coughed.

"And this juice is the finest made!!!!!" Kouga continued.

"Kouga, I didn't make the juice."

"But you bought it, right?"

"No, I bought it." Inu-Yasha stated. Kouga looked aghast and put the juice box down as if it was poisonous.

"Humph. Sure, sure, make fun of…um…the um…"

"The brainless idiot in the corner? Sure." Sango whispered to Miroku. It was Miroku's turn to snort into his drink.

"Can we go back yet???" Kikyo was tired of watching Kouga 'flirting' with Kagome instead of her. It wasn't that she wanted Kouga to be her boyfriend but she wanted Inu-Yasha before anyone else got anyone. She had made her mind up about that earlier. Sango looked at the remaining food Kikyo hadn't eaten yet.

"Kikyo, I thought you were hungry." She commented.

"I was." Kikyo sniffed in return. Sango didn't respond. Inu-Yasha looked up and saw all that remaining food.

"Hey Kikyo! Mind if I finish what's left?" He asked her. She brightened.

"Sure! Go ahead!" Kagome at that point finished her lunch and was also looking for more. She slid over next to him and asked if he would like to share. He told her to take what ever she wanted. Sango and Miroku couldn't help but notice how cute they looked together and how jealous Kikyo and Kouga looked. They looked at each other and smiled. Then their minds started thinking evilly and as they looked at each other, they both new that the other one was thinking the same thing!



WAHAHAHAHA!!!!! You'll find out what Miroku and Sango are thinking in the next chapter!!! (unless you can figure it out all by your self!) ^_^;; O____o
