Episode 16 - Kick In the Shins

Kagome sat near a river as she removed her clothes quickly with Sesshoumaru standing not to far away doing the same thing.

Sesshoumaru heard a splash as he turned and saw Kagome in the water cleaning herself off as he blushed. He could clearly see her breast.

Kagome rubbed the blood off as she saw the water was turning red, so she walked a bit farther where the water was clean and finished up as she turned around and saw Sesshoumaru cleaning himself.

Kagome blushed as she looked down at the water.

Kagome grabbed her clothes as she dunked it into the water and her hands glowed as she pulled out her kimono and glowed again, and the kimono was clean. Kagome smiled as she got out and changed.

Kagome grabbed Sesshoumaru's clothes and did the same thing as she turned around and handed it to him as he changed.

***

There was an awkward silence as the two finally reached the village.

Kagome smiled, "We're finally here."

Sesshoumaru walked ahead as Kagome ran after him.

The two entered Kaede's hut as Kagome smiled as she saw Kaede and Rin eating.

"Ahem." Kagome cleared her throat as the two looked up.

"KAGOMEEEEEE" Rin screamed as she launched herself at Kagome, thus, knocking Kagome over.

"R-Rin, it's nice to see you too." Kagome giggled.

"I Missed YOU!" Rin cried. "Kaede did too, I think." Rin said childishly.

Kagome smiled and laughed, "I've missed you two, so what's new?"

"LOOK KAGOME! I lost a tooth!" Rin said as she smiled. Her lover tooth was missing as Kagome giggled at the sight.

"Ahem, Kagome, it's nice to have you back." Kaede said as she looked over at Sesshoumaru, who was at the hut's entrance. "It's nice to see you too, Sesshoumaru."

Sesshoumaru said nothing as he put up his emotionless mask.

Rin looked over at Sesshoumaru and walked up to him.

Sesshoumaru glanced at Kagome as Kagome smiled.

Sesshoumaru kneeled down to Rin.

"Hello, Rin." Sesshoumaru said calmly.

"HI!" Rin smiled.

Sesshoumaru winced. 'Damn, she's loud.' Sesshoumaru thought.

"What's your name?" Rin asked, even though she knew his name.

"Sesshoumaru." Sesshoumaru simply said.

"Well, my name is Rin, um, ooOooOoh." Rin trailed off as she started touching Sesshoumaru's tail.

Sesshoumaru found the little girl annoying. [I THINK RIN'S CUTE]

Kagome giggled as Sesshoumaru glanced over at her with a 'What's so funny' expression.

Rin finally let go and ran over to Kagome.

"Kagome, Kagome, Kagome." Rin called.

"Yes Rin?" Kagome asked as she knelt down.

"Let's eat dinner!" Rin said as she pulled on Kagome's hand and Sesshoumaru's.

The four ate as they talked, well; Sesshoumaru was quiet until asked a question.

**

Kagome laid on her futon as she started thinking about a certain 'Yokai.'

Kagome sighed. 'People say love it right around the corner for everyone. I think I might be walking in circles. -_-;' Kagome thought to herself.

Kagome suddenly heard a 'Pssst.'

'What?' Kagome thought as she looked around.

Kagome got up and walked out of her room and to the hut door.

"Is someone here?" Kagome asked.

"Out here."

Kagome walked outside as she followed a shadow to the woods.

'How stupid is it to follow a stranger into the woods?' Kagome thought as she was about to leave. She was beginning to freak out.

"Her you."

Kagome turned around and saw a kid.

"What kid?" Kagome asked grumpily. She wasn't happy.

"HEY STUPID I'M NOT A KID!" He said as he turned into a man.

"Whoh." Kagome whispered.

"STUPID!" The 'Man' said.

"You're stupid." Kagome said back. [Childish, I know.]

"Hey." He said.

"Oh wait, you aren't stupid, calling you stupid would be an insult to all stupid people." Kagome said sarcastically. [I love insult. I use it almost everyday, until I was told I was stupid so many times. -_-; the world is so cruel. T_T]

Kagome turned to leave as she was stopped by the 'man.'

"What?" Kagome asked.

"Listen to me stupid!" The man said.

"Kid, you're not fooling anyone here." Kagome said as she yawned.

The kid kicked Kagome in the shins as he ran away.

"Arg." Kagome cried as she rubbed her leg mumbling about weird midnight kids kicking you in the shins for not listening to them.

"That was a very nice way of handling it." Sesshoumaru said as Kagome looked up and groaned.

"Not now Fluffy." Kagome growled.

"We're leaving tomorrow."
