Chapter IIIIII "A Walk through the Woods"

The air smelt crisp with tree bark and water as the trio ventured into the green array of canopies known as the forest. Birds sang cheerfully, alerting everyone of their presence with a hapless ballad. Shirou had been glaring at Miroku behind Sango's back for quite a while until she broke the tense silence by bending to pull some flowers from the soil. "Kagome-chan was looking for these the other day, she'll be happy I found some." She said cheerfully. Miroku bent to help her, his hands brushing hers in the process, causing a pink flush to grace her cheeks as she stood. Somewhat flustered, Sango walked ahead murmuring about finding some more herbs for Kagome. Shirou gave Miroku a cold glare and brushed his roughly as he followed the girl, his eyes giving off a visible warning. Miroku decided to ignore this and walked on, a stupid grin on his face 'Sango...'

Kagome was still sitting on the edge of the well, the breeze carefully brushing her raven hair from her face, reminding her of a mother's gentle fingers. She smiled lightly and closed her eyes inhaling deeply the sweet smelling air. Inuyasha slowly crept towards the girl, he had to admit he had grown very bored sitting near the log, and had come to perhaps bug her into a 'sit' or too, he had found that his back was actually aching more, maybe because he hadn't had a nice 'sit' in so long.. Hearing almost instantly the twig snapping behind her Kagome turned lightly and got ready to stare into the eyes of a demon, but found it was instead a half demon, staring at her with curious puppy dog eyes. Being surprised to see him she let out a little cry and lost her balance "Inuuuyashaaaaaa!" she cried plummeting towards the bottom of the well. The Hanyou tried in vain to grab her but ended up cringing as he waited for the inevitable thud of her landing. He opened his eyes and looked curiously down the well when he heard nothing. Seeing Kagome was gone he realized she must have been transported to her time. Suddenly a bright blue light enveloped the inside the well and the girl became visible a scowl upon her lovely features. "Inuyasha! Just you wait!" she growled climbing up the vines, causing the boy to decide a bath with Shippou might be nice after all.

Sticking one toe in the water the hanyou cringed slightly, the face soon though turned to a relaxed expression as he got used to the heat. Standing in shoulder length water he sighed as the warm liquid eased his sore muscles and calmed his nerves. Suddenly a certain kitsune popped from beneath the steaming surface to exclaim with saucer sized eyes. "WOW Inuyasha, I was underwater and I opened my eyes and your-" The boy was interrupted by a loud noise echoing through the woods and scattering several birds. Smelling the air and making sure Kagome was alright Inuyasha looked back to Shippou in question. Shippou continued with "I was gonna say your toenails are like an inch long!" Inuyasha raised a brow and in his own somewhat playful way, dunked the child beneath the water.

Sango covered her mouth and gasped as she saw Miroku lying on his back, a small trickle of blood escaping from a gash over his left eye. Sango had saw some leaves that made good shampoo, so Miroku had offered to climb the tree and retrieve them. ***Ben was surprised to learn that one could make shampoo from leaves.*** Shirou had later decided the monk was taking too long and had pulled a throwing blade from his pouch and had aimed it at a branch abundant with leaves. His aim was slightly off hitting a branch beside that one; the only problem was that one was currently inhabited by Miroku who fell with the branch to the ground with a very loud crash. Shirou couldn't help but smirk, replacing it swiftly with a look of horror as Sango looked his way in worry. Running towards the fallen young man, the girl felt hot tears sting her eyes. Dropping everything she had collected, Sango knelt beside him and stroked his face asking him if he was well. Miroku, much to their surprise, sat up and in a dazed sentence, handed Sango a small branch of the leaves "I hope theses will work...Sango-chan." he then passed out, falling against her and almost knocking her to a lying position. "Miroku.." she whispered placing a worried kiss on his forehead.

Inuyasha sighed as he settled back against a rock and let the water again flow along his sore body; He and Shippou had had quite the water fight, now to end in Shippou stuck in a tree which Inuyasha had thrown him into in annoyance. "Kagome!" was suddenly heard in a screeching child's voice as the raven haired beauty appeared from the brush, a towel tightly wrapped around her. She saw Inuyasha as she was pulling Shippou from the wiry branches and smirked throwing him something. Inuyasha retrieved the Black looking things to find them to be slick-like shorts. "Swimming trunks." Kagome explained simply "I went to get my new suit and Mom said she bought those for you...please put them on!" she finished in a squeal and covered her flaming cheeks as Inuyasha started to rise. Putting on the 'trunks' Inuyasha felt amazingly lightweight in these things, they were great for swimming too! Kagome now slowly pulled away her towel as the young man settled to the water again. Kagome was adorned in a white 'bathing suit' as she called it littered with hundreds of little red cherries dancing gaily along the fabric. The top was a bikini and the bottom what Kagome called 'Boy shorts'. Inuyasha blank his eyes, Kagome didn't usually show her stomach. Swallowing, he glared at her "Just get in and stop revealing yourself to the whole world wench!" Instead of the 'sit' screaming in her head, Kagome just dove in the water and came up in front of him. The close proximity caused Inuyasha to become slightly pink cheeked and stared at her in worry. Kagome just laughed and attempted to dunk him, but being so strong the boy just stood there looking dumbfounded. "What are you doing?" he asked through clenched teeth, as she had slid helplessly from his head, her arms around his neck. She flushed and slowly slid more, going under and swimming to the other side of the hot spring in embarrassment. "Inuyasha why is your face so red?" Shippou asked only to receive a fist to his cranium in response.

OK sorry I've been neglecting this again, but I have had a few demo's lately and my VERY premature arthritis is about to murder my pain tolerance. All in all it's been busy so sorry. ~_^
