I almost had a case of writer's block for this chapter, but fortunatly it has cleared up ^_^

"Ohh, can't we stay here a little longer Inu?"

Kagome and Inuyasha were currently arguing at the well. They made an odd couple, Inuyasha the half dog youkai in his billowy fire rat fur, and Kagome the now half cat youkai in her fire rat fur and a humongous yellow backpack. Kagome's tail was twitching as they argued, distracting Inuyasha every now and then.

"And quit staring at my tail!"

Inuyasha humphed "I can't help the tail part, but Myouga has found something and it is in our best intrests to find out what he found! Besides the only reason you are complaining so much is because of that huge backpack!"

"Well you dragged me through last time with nothing but a few changes of clothing, this time I want to be prepared!" Kagome shot back, her tail twitching again. "And stop looking at my tail!"

"grrr, I think you are part pack rat instead of cat." Inuyasha grumbled.

"What!?" Kagome growled.

"Well, Kagome if you want to stay here, what do you plan on doing?" Inuyasha said, switching tactics. "Because until that is settled the only thing I want to do is train, and something else."

"Something else?" Kagome asked eying the now approaching Inuyasha warily.

"Something like this." Inuyasha stepped up embrasing Kagome and running his tounge from the base of her now twitching ear to the tip, electing a moan.

Kagome now red made a decision. "Come on lets go!" Jumping into the well and mumbling quietly "I really do need the sleep at night."

Inuyasha laughed as he lept into the well.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Knock it off Inu!"

"You know Kagome I like ending arguments like that!"

Kagome growled at Inuyasha.

Oichi having just came up to the well simply shook her head, finding those two was easy, mainly because they couldn't last any amount of time without fighting. She watched them argue for a bit more before she made herself known.

"I see you two got a room?"

Oichi chuckled at both of them turning beat red. She then laughed and decided that she would let them off the hook, simply waving back to the village. Kagome picked up her pack and followed, ignoring Inuyasha's muttered comment.

"Just be glad you are half youkai."

Oichi picked up Kaede on the way to the village, the child had grown very attached to the youkai. Or coarse that mortified her keepers, but after watching the two they decided that she wasn't coming to any harm. When the entered the hut, Kagome immediatly fished out something.

"Here, I brought something for each of you" Taking out two candy bars and unwrapping them.

Oichi took them sniffed them carefully and tasted one giving the other to Kaede. They bit into them and their eyes went wide.

"OOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" the candy bars were gone in a flash.

Kagome giggled at the two, she hadn't expected that big a reaction. Unfortunatly she was then hit by two set of large pouty puppy eyes asking for more. Kagome grinned and gave them both another bar. Inuyasha shook his head at their antics, Kaede he would expect, but Oichi as well? Oh well, he sighed.

"Now down to business, what did Myouga tell you?"

"Well," Oichi began in between bites "He wasn't able to get much, except that there was a monk, Miroku I think his name is, he has been investigating as well."

"Well, lets go after him."

"Sure, after I get more candy!"

"Kagome, you never should have brought that stuff."

Kagome stuck her tounge out at Inuyasha.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

A few days later they were trudging along, all of them getting rather weary.

"Where is this fucking monk again?" Inuyasha growled.

"Well, he is supposed to be somewhere around this general area, maybe we can get some information over there!" Oichi said pointing to a particular house.

Inuyasha blushed, "I am not going in there!"

"Why not?"

"Do you have any clue what that place is!?"

"Huh?!" both women looked at him.

Inuyasha was beet red, "Well, it isn't a place where you would find holy people leave it at that!"

Kagome and Oichi looked at him as the approached the house, suddenly Oichi held her nose. "Oh."

"What?" Kagome looked at the two, bewildered .

"Its a." Oichi whispered to Kagome, turning the girl red as well.

"How do you know?"

"We can smell it, that particular scent is potent." Kagome looked sypatheticly at the two youkai, sometimes good smell is a curse. Suddenly she squinted.

"Umm, I know that monks shouldn't be in there, but isn't that one coming out of there now?"

Inuyasha and Oichi looked, seeing nothing until the figure got closer. They let out a simultaneous "Oh."

Inuyasha looked at Oichi. "I just thought of something, can't you cast an illusion on us to make us look human?"

Oichi scratched her head "I should have thought of that earlier, it would make things a lot easier."

Inuyasha and Kagome sighed, as their forms wavered and flickered into their human versions. Oichi did the same for herself, though she kept the red hair.

"You know, we should figure out a way to do this all the time!" Kagome said, happy to at least look human, Inuyasha himself grumbled.

"I think I can do that, it sounds like fun!" Oichi grinned.

"Ok, here comes the monk."
