Chapter 5 Kagome's New Home
Kagome had learned about thirty minutes ago that it was useless the struggle, kick and yell at him. He would not put her down nor loosen his grip upon her waist, she just tangled over his shoulder like a potato sack, though she used one arm balanced to his back so she could place her chin in her uninjured hand. "Where are we going?" She asked in monotone voice. "My den." He answered for the fiftieth time. "Are we there yet?
"Iie"
"Are we there yet?"
"Iie."
"How about now?"
"Iie." He growled getting slightly annoyed
"Now?"
"..Iie."
"Now?"
"NO! NOW SHUT UP BITCH!" he said and she mumbled the question again he growled, she sighed and looked down at the ground to see the kitsune looking up at her. She smiled a little. "Hello Shippo. So do you always hang out with this jerk?" she asked sweetly and Shippo just laughed a little. As Inu-Yasha fumed and tightened his grip upon the wench. "Ow, hey you know I am injured! You could at least be a little gentle!" She scolded then suddenly felt sleepy, so she closed her eyes.
When Kagome awakens from her sleep she finds herself within a cave, but it wasn't a damp and dirty one. It was surprisingly pleasant, she sat up to find herself laying on a bed made of pelts, and covered with pelts to keep her warm. She pulled her kimono closer to her as her eyes looked about the room. Dried meats and vegetables hung from the walls of the cave, a few pelts scattered across the stone floor. A small dead fire was in the center of the cave where small pebbles lined the fire and large stones lined up around the smaller once, creating a ring to keep the fire in its limited space.
She then stood up and walked slowly across the floor, one hand lay against the stonewalls, she then blinked when she noticed it was her injured hand she was using. But she shouldn't be able to use. She pulled back the cloth around her injured shoulder to find it heal and only a small scar showed any trace of an injury. She then looked at her forearm to find the claw marks gone, and her ankle. Her ankle! It was healed too! But how? She shrugged it was best not to look a gift horse in the mouth. She then pulled the cloth back to cover her bare shoulder and walked down the small narrow way to find that it ended, but not to a wall, but to water? The cave must be hidden behind a waterfall she said to herself as she saw a small walkway that was o her left and guessed it led down to the ground. She followed the steep walkway and it did led out to the left side of the waterfall.
She saw before her a small but deep spring that the waterfall followed into and the spring overlapped into a small stream leading she guessed to a river beyond. Medium sized pebbles mixed with brown sand outlined the spring; bushes outlined the sandy mixture and trees stood behind the bushes, tall trees, some even bared fruit. Such as cherries and oranges.
She listened to the birds sing and she sighed then wrinkled her nose, "I need a bath." She said and scratched her head as she walked down to the spring, she looked around, satisfied that no one was going to look upon her as she bathed she shed her thin kimono and walked into the cold spring water.

Inu-Yasha mumbled as he walked back to his den, baring the great weight of the woman's items that they had left last night when he had taken her away. He had returned though to get the items today, why? He didn't really know, heck he even grabbed her hunter equipment. He looked down upon his hand that he had sliced open this morning to heal the girl's wounds, which he had caused the day before. It would serve him better to have her in good health and not complaining about her pain, if she did, which she hardly did. But he had placed his own demon blood into her wounds and let it mix with her blood long enough for her body to think it was her own blood and caused its self to heal faster. By now her wounds would only be miner and would not pain her.
He growled for a moment when he felt the kitsune jump onto his shoulder and before the little fox child could say anything, he was grabbed by the tail and sat on the ground, gently for once. Shippo smiled at Inu-Yasha and walked with his hands behind his back, as the lit gust of wind blew his light brown hair. "So, why did you go back for Kagome-sama's things?" he asked innocently and Yasha snorted. "Well I don't want her to freeze to death in that thin robe."
"Well at least your being nice to her, it's a start."
"A to start to what half pint?"
"You liking her, so she can be my new mommy."
"Nani? What have you been into, Shippo?" Yasha asked with wide eyes as Shippo just giggled and hopped back onto his shoulder. "Nothin." He grinned as Inu-Yasha this time through him off his shoulder once more and poor Shippo smacked into a tree as Yasha growled and mumbled to himself. He broke through the bushes and stopped dead in his tracks as he saw a raven haired girl bathing in the spring, his jaw dropped to the ground. She was beautiful, and man she looked better cleaned..wait? Did I just say that?
Yes you did moron. The voice in his head replied
"No one asked you."
"You did."
"Shut up."
"Fine." The voice said and Inu-Yasha smiled to himself happily at winning the argument against himself. Kagome turned to stroll out of the sprang but then dropped down into the water up to her eyes as she saw Inu-Yasha staring at her. "AHH! PERVERT! LOOK AWAY!" she yelled at him, which snapped him out of his trance like stated and he growled at her and stomped off towards his den as he let the bag fall from his fingers that contained her items. "Like I would wanna look at you, wench!"
Kagome fumed in the water for a while then noticed her bag by the water, he brought her things to her? But why?

Iie: No
(not a long list this time lol)
