(A/N): hey everybody! Ok, I know the last chapter may have been sappy and OOC, but that's basically my dream guy . . .that ill never find cuz guys are more trouble than they are worth. Believe me on this one! Ok, anyway . . . enough about my personal problems, and on with chapter 12!
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- *-*-*-*-*- The stench of blood and hungry demonic power grew more intense with every step the group traveled. They were further in the forest than surrounding villagers had dared to go, angering the trees, and daring them to attack. The demons with Kagome watched every movement and strained to hear every noise. Shippo watched in wonder as Inu Yasha's ears swished back and forth, listening for silent sounds. Trees were drenched with red liquid that gushed down to the bloodstained ground. They all knew that they were only a small distance away from their final enemy. All of them pondered what they should expect from Naraku this time. Sesshoumaru imagined an easily beaten foe, and he would pound that guy, and Kagome would come running to him . . . *Sesshoumaru stands over a lifeless bloody heap of a body, looking triumphant. Kagome runs to him, "Sesshoumaru! Oh! You destroyed him! You are my hero! You are sooooooo much better than your weakling brother is! I love you so much!" , putting her arms around him.* The demon holds his fist to his face and anime style tears fall down his cheek. "Nani?" Kagome asks queerly.
"Huh??? Nothing!!!" Sesshoumaru loudly says, his face reddening like a tomato. He looked away into the trees.
"Ok, whatever." Kagome replied. Inu Yasha looked back towards her and his brother, and stifled a laugh. Kagome shrugged and had to stop herself from giggling. Miroku watched from behind, and smiled at this new relationship forming. Sure, the two still fought, but how much of it was just for show? He pondered, bringing his hand up to stroke his chin. Seeing this movement, Sango laid her hand upon the grip of the frying pan, wondering what plan Miroku was scheming.
Night came quickly, and the whole party sat down around the fire, not saying much of anything. Sango stared nervously at Miroku. And Miroku darted his eyes from Inu Yasha to Kagome. Silence conquered all. No one spoke, they just tensely eyed each other. Shippo just sat there, looking at all of them, very confused. He shrugged his shoulders and went back to eating his chocolate. He thought of Kagome. He could barely believe she would be leaving them . . .forever. Her world was almost over, yet a new unchanging grin was stamped on her face. If only he could understand why she was so cheerful in death . . .
"I'm gonna . . .go scout out the woods. Make sure nothing is out there, you know. Don't want anything attacking the camp when all you babies are sleeping." Inu Yasha said, giving the look that told her she was supposed to follow. " But Inu Yasha, we haven't seen anything all day, or last night for that matter, so what is the point in going out there?" Sango asked with curiosity. Miroku leaned toward her, and whispered something in her ear. "Oh! I mean . . .Yes! You should definitely go scout." Inu Yasha looked queerly at Miroku, who winked. This wasn't good . . . "I'll go with him! I mean . . .Just in case he gets himself into trouble like he always does." Kagome spoke up. She stood up with Inu Yasha and the walked into the blood trees.

"NANI?????" Sango yelled as soon as the two had left.
"SHHHHHH!!!" Miroku hushed her. "Let's get away from here before we talk about it."
"Why?" "I'll tell you when we get there!! C'mon!" So, like the pair before them they walked into the forest.
"Ok, now tell me! What's going on?" Sango interrogated.
"I'm sure of it! They finally got together! You can easily tell. They are spending so much time together, and playing those eye games, it's so obvious!" "But . . .if they were together, they would tell us, Miroku. I mean, we are their friends, there is no way that Kagome could keep her mouth shut if they really were an item." "That's the thing though. Listen Sango, we can' let Inu Yasha's brother, Sesshoumaru. know about it. You probably noticed he's after Kagome, but not in the same way he was before. I understand why they kept it a secret. If they were to let it out in the open, Sesshoumaru might leave the group, and we need his fighting skills to defeat Naraku. So don't open your mouth, ok?" Miroku explained.
"Awwww . . . that's so romantic! A hidden love."
"We could be lovers too Sango, will you bear my child?" Miroku obviously had to say something. *frying pan hit him over the head, forming a huge lump that is noticeable when they stroll back into camp*
Miroku kept watch for Inu Yasha's and Lady Kagome's return, which did not come until the wee hours just before sunrise. 'they need to be more careful, otherwise the snoring demon will find out . . .'
Sesshoumaru's glare of hatred could have burned a hole through his brother's head when he and the woman he loved walked back into camp together. But he was determined to get Kagome, he wouldn't give up so easily. He just needed to get rid of his brother . . . *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- *-*-*-*-*- (A/N): ok, really really short, but I am unsure about what should happen next, so forgive me! More will be up as soon as I can figure out a good next chapter! PLEASE REVIEW!!!! i beg you!!! Let me inside your heads!!!!
