I am sorry that I didn't post a chapter yesterday. I am at my Dad's house every other weekend, and he doesn't have the Internet. Well, here is chapter 10.

Disclaimer: I don't own Inuyasha.

Chapter 10- A Horrifying Picture

Sango and Kagome watched as Inuyasha lifted the monk above the ground. "I am guessing that the conversation didn't go too well." Sango whispered in Kagome's ear. Kagome nodded. They watched as Inuyasha set the monk back down, and squished Myoga. They looked at each other, not knowing what it was that Myoga had said.

"Come on, let's go over there before this gets anymore violent than it already is." Kagome motioned to her friend, and they began walking in the boys' direction.

"Hey, Inuyasha." Kagome greeted the hanyou. Then, she remembered their hug and almost-kiss from before, and her face turned crimson red.

Sango looked at Kagome's red face, and made conversation with the boys. "Shouldn't we be going to Kaede's hut?" She asked Inuyasha. Inuyasha looked into the sky to see the position of the sun.

'It looks like it is about noon.' Inuyasha reasoned. "Ya, I almost forgot about that. I guess that we should be leaving now, it's already noon." Inuyasha answered.

'I wish that I had Kirara for transportation. I either have to get on Inuyasha's back with Kagome or run with Miroku.' Sango began to think. 'Hmm, I don't want to be groped by the lecherous monk. There isn't much room on Inuyasha's back for both Kagome AND me. Sure, we COULD fit, but I might as well just run with the monk. As long as I have my Hiraikotsu nearby, I will be fine.' Sango looked over at the monk. Miroku was giving her another perverted grin. 'And as long as I am not within groping range of Miroku.' Sango thought, with a sigh.

Inuyasha looked over at Kagome, his face was still red from Miroku had said, and what the flea had said. "Come on, Kagome. Get on my back. We need to hurry if we want to get to the hag's house by dinner time." Kagome's face turned a little bit redder as she hopped onto his back. Myoga just decided to stay on Kagome's shoulder, instead of his master's.

Miroku looked at Sango, who was holding onto her oversized boomerang. "Are you ready to go?" he asked her.

"Hai." She answered him. She gave him s glare that said, "Try anything and the boomerang bone will be adding fractures to your skull." Miroku understood what this look meant, but kept his perverted thoughts in his mind.

"Lets go!" Inuyasha said as he began to run, with Kagome positioned on his back. Miroku and Sango followed, running as fast as their legs could carry them.

After about an hour of running, Miroku was begging his fast friend for a rest to eat and drink. "Inuyasha, PLEASE? I see food growing right over there. My legs hurt form running so much. Not all of us are half demon like you. We aren't blessed with such endurance." Miroku looked hopefully at Inuyasha, hoping that he would at least acknowledge what he had said. To Miroku's surprise, Inuyasha stopped and turned around to face him.

'Now that Miroku mentions it, it would be nice to stop and rest for a while. I will just let Miroku do the talking though.' Sango thought. Kagome thought about the same thing that Sango had. Everyone looked hopefully at Inuyasha.

"Please, Inuyasha? If we can stop and rest for a couple minutes, then we will be able to go faster. I promise that we won't ask to stop again." Inuyasha sighed as he looked at all of his friends. He mumbled something about "weaklings."

"I guess that we can. But you better hurry up." Inuyasha sighed again, and let Kagome slide off his back.

They all walked over to where they could see some veggies growing. After they all picked what they wanted, (including Inuyasha), they ate their food in silence. When they finished, Sango offered to go and get some water from a stream that she had spotted not too far from where they were eating. Miroku laughed to himself, and followed Sango, without her knowing. She bent down to fill a cup with some water. Miroku neared her, being as quiet as he possibly could. 'HELLO Sango!' He thought happily. 'This is the best chance that I have. She doesn't have the Hiraikotsu with her.' Miroku let out a perverted laugh. The lecherous monk's hand began its normal journey, to its spot on Sango's rear. Fortunately for Sango, she heard his laugh, and grabber hold of his hand, before it had the chance to grope.

Sango's eyes widened. "Miroku!" she yelled, and then slapped the perverted grin right off his face. Sango began to walk back to where Inuyasha and Kagome where, with the cup filled with water in her hand. Miroku followed, with his head hung low. 'Can't blame a guy for trying.' He thought.

After everyone had some water, Inuyasha asked, "Is everyone ready to go now?" Kagome nodded her head, Sango said, "Hai." Miroku looked at Inuyasha pleadingly, wanting more time to rest. Inuyasha showed no sigh of giving in, so the monk answered with a sigh, "I guess."

Kagome hopped back onto Inuyasha's back and he began to run. Miroku and Sango followed in the back of the group, as usual. This time, though, they weren't as far behind Inuyasha and Kagome. After a couple of hours of running, (and some walking), they arrived at Kaede's hut.

From inside the hut, Shippo looked up from his coloring. He began to sniff the air. 'Is that.?' Shippo thought, as he recognized the scent. Kirara lifted her head, and looked at the door.

Kagome slid off of Inuyasha's back, and entered the hut.

"KAGOME!!!" Shippo yelled happily, as her jumped into Kagome's arms. "I missed you!"

"FEH!" Inuyasha said, and crossed his arms, and looked away.

"Did you color that?" Kagome asked, as she pointed to a picture that was lying on the floor, with color crayons next to it.

"Yes! Do you like it?" Kagome looked at the picture, as Miroku picked it up to examine it.

Miroku smiled, 'Will you bear my child?' he thought, wishing that the people on the picture were real. "Who are THESE two beautiful ladies?" Miroku asked Shippo.

Shippo jumped out of Kagome's arms, and onto the monk's shoulder. Shippo looked at the picture. 'I drew them just like they really look.' Thought the kitsune. He pointed at the person on the left in the picture. "That is Sesshomaru." He said, and then pointed to the person on the right. "That is Naraku." Shippo explained.

Kagome giggled. "I like your picture, Shippo. I like the pink dress and crown that you drew on Naraku."

Shippo smiled, "Do you think that it makes him look like a pretty, pretty princess?" Shippo laughed, "Since he is a prince, and he looks like a girl, ESPECIALLY with that light blue eye shadow that he wears. Also, he has such girls hair."

Kagome, Miroku, and Inuyasha all fell to the floor laughing. After she had caught some breath, Sango asked him, "Shippo, why does Sesshomaru have a pink boa on his shoulder?"

Shippo gave her a confused look, "What are you talking about? He always has that pink fluffy boa."

Inuyasha took the time to explain, "That isn't a boa. It's supposed to be his tail." Inuyasha began to laugh even more. Shippo just rubbed his chin, 'Oh. It doesn't look too much like a tail. What kind of tail is pink? I guess that he dies it that color.'

Inuyasha picked up the picture, "And what are they holding?" he asked Shippo.

"Oh, that's makeup. See? They are giving each other makeovers." Shippo explained to everyone. (A/N: They know what makeup and makeovers are from Kagome.) They all began to laugh even louder.

"And why did you draw a clay pot?" Kagome asked, as she pointed at the object on the picture.

"Oh. That's not a clay pot. See the legs? It's a walking clay pot; it is Kikyo." Shippo explained.

Miroku was holding his sides, because they hurt from laughing so hard. Sango fought for breath as she laughed. Kagome did the same. Inuyasha's face wasn't red from embarrassment; it was red from laughing. Kaede walked into the hut, holding dinner. She watched as everyone lay on the floor, laughing. Shippo explained the picture to her, and she too, laughed.

"I will go and get some more food, so there is enough for all of ye. I will return shortly." Kaede told them. They had stopped laughing after about 5 minutes.

Miroku now sat in a corner, looking at everyone suspiciously. 'I can't believe that I wanted to ask THEM to bear my child.' He shuddered, and tried to reason. 'But, it isn't my fault. Shippo drew them so good. He made them look beautiful.' Miroku thought.

Kaede came back into the hut, holding more food. Kagome went to help her carry it in. Kaede cooked the food, and told them that dinner was ready.

'Heh heh heh. I am surprised that they haven't noticed that I have followed them here. My work here will soon be done.' Thought the intruder from before.

That's the end of chapter 10! You will find out who the intruder is soon. I hope that you liked this chapter! PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE REVIEW!
