*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Chapter 9
*~*
~*~*~*~*~*~
It was currently night time and the group was sitting around a campfire. When Kaede had returned from collecting herbs, she was rather surprised and extremely glad to see Kagome. By time the brief introduction of everyone was finished night had snuck up on everybody.
Since the hut was to small for the whole group to sleep in they decided it was only fair that everyone slept outside. After a rather quiet dinner of ramen Kagome had packed, everyone was currently sitting in this position.
Hiei was in a tree with his eyes closed. Kuwabara was at the base of the tree petting Kirara. Sango was on the other side of the campfire and was polishing her boomerang. Since the incident with Hiei she had become much more 'aware' of her surroundings. Miroku was at base of another tree with his head bowed and his eyes closed. Since Sango was unusually aware of her surroundings Miroku couldn't get in as close as he would like.
Kurama had gone in the hut a while ago to help Kaede with last minute cares to Shippo before they turned in for the night. He seemed rather interested in helping out with caring for Shippo. Kagome was glad for that since it seemed knowing another kitsune was around made Shippo very happy.
Yusuke was sulking in a corner about only God knows what and there was an eerie silence that was driving Kagome MAD!!!!!
'I can't take this any longer! What's wrong with everyone!' Kagome thought as she went to sit next to Sango.
"Sango so exactly what are we going to do about the situation at hand?" Kagome asked.
Sango seemed to relax a little when Kagome spoke to her.
"Actually Kagome, I've been giving that a lot of thought.." Sango sighed "....I figured all we have to do is continue going around collecting the jewel fragments like before. Since we already have a decent amount of the jewel Inuyasha will come to us. As for the situation with Naraka----."
"---We'll end up facing him anyway."
Sango and Kagome both turned to see Miroku. He had somehow moved only two feet away from Sango. Miroku had overheard there conversation and in his opinion, was glad Kagome brought it up.
Sango nodded. "Hentai-sama is right. We will end up fighting Naraku in the no matter how many different ways you look at the situation." Sango looked over at Yu Yu Hakusho team. They didn't look like it but all of them had been intently listening in on the conversation.
Sango smiled. "I also can assume in the end we'll need all the help we can get."
"Is this Naraku guy that powerful?" Kuwabara asked.
The Yu Yu team looked over at the three feudal travelers. Kurama had come just on time to hear Kuwabara's question.
Miroku began. "Fighting against Naraku himself is really the least of our problems. The real problem is getting to him. Naraku has thousands of lower class demons at his disposal. He has created many powerful incarnations that we have fought and are still trying to defeat."
Kagome continues. "Another problem is we have weaknesses. And those weaknesses are in his possession." Kagome trailed looked toward Sango and Miroku in a silent question. They nodded so she continued.
"Miroku is a from a long line of perverts. Because of this he has a curse implanted on his left hand. The curse is a wind tunnel that can suck anything or anybody into it. The wind tunnel is past down generation to generation. The wind tunnel will eventually suck him into it unless Naraku is dies."
"What kind of sick minded bastard would do that?" Yusuke asked himself.
Kagome seeing how depressing the mood was getting and how late into the night it was decided it was time to turn in.
"Well it's getting late and we do need to get an early start tomorrow." Kagome began looking around in her monster sized back pack. Unfortunately she didn't notice her ass sticking up in the giving Miroku a rather fine view.
But unfortunately for Miroku two people noticed this. Sango smacked him upside his head.
"What's wrong Sango-chan?" Miroku said giving her his 'I wasn't doing nothin' look.
"Miroku don't act innocent I saw you." Sango said standing up and stretching.
"Well Sango-chan if you prefer I will only look at you from now on." Miroku said wiggling his eyebrows.
Both Sango and Hiei growled. Hiei's growl being unnoticed by everyone except Kurama.
Smack
Bam..
Crash.
"Found them!!!" Kagome said dramatically as she pulled out some extra blankets.
"Sango can you help me give out some blankets?" Kagome said not even waiting for an answer before dumping half the bundle in Sango's arms. Kagome walked up to Kurama first and handed him a blanket.
"Thank you Lady Kagome." Kurama said bowing to be polite.
"Kurama you can just call me Kagome. Also I wanted to thank you for helping out with Shippo. I know you just met him but it means a lot to him your hear, since his parents died he hasn't been around any Kitsune's and I think you hanging around him makes him feel more comfortable."
"No problem Kagome. I like being around the little guy." Kurama said
"Goodnight." Kagome said smiling as she walked away.
. . .
Yusuke was furious at the monk guy. He was checking out HIS girlfriend. Only he got to do that.
Wait a second. Stop. Rewind. Replay.
Whose girlfriend? Yusuke shook his head. All he knew was that he was very protective of Kagome.
'That doesn't mean I like her.' Yusuke thought. Right. RIGHT.
"Here Yusuke." A soft voice brought Yusuke out of his thoughts. Looking up he saw Kagome handing him a blanket. She was smiling at him. The smile he had grown so use to in such a short time.
Kagome frowned. "Are you okay? You look a little flushed." Kagome put her backhand on Yusuke's forehead. The contact sent shivers through bought there bodies. Kagome quickly pulled her hand away.
"Ummm....Yeah..goodnight." Kagome said blushing furiously.
"Take this DEMON!!!" Sango said emphasizing the demon part as she threw the blanket into the tree towards Hiei not caring if he caught it our not.
The blanket smacked Hiei dead in his face. "Hey human!! I don't need these ridiculous resources like your weak species." Hiei said throwing the blanket back at Sango.
Sango was furious as she caught the blanket. 'I'll show him weak.' Sango thought reaching to towards Hiraikotsu. Kagome noticed this.
"Sango calm down." Kagome said hoping to avoid confrontation. She was unrolling her sleeping bag.
"Alright Kagome, just this once. Next time the DEMON won't be so lucky." Sango said handing the blanket denied by Hiei towards Kuwabara. He barely noticed anything going around him besides Kirara who he was currently grooming.
"Here you go Kuwabara." Sango said handing him the blanket. Since Kirara seemed to like Kuwabara, Sango assumed he was a trustworthy person.
"Thanks Sango! Hey I really like your cat! It reminds me a lot of mine back home." Kuwabara said petting Kirara's tails. Sango laughed.
"Unfortunately Kuwabara, Kirara has to come to bed now." As soon as Sango said this Kirara jumped on her shoulder. Kuwabara sighed.
"Awe. Well goodnight." Kuwabara said turning in.
Everyone seemed to be going to sleep so Miroku put out the fire before falling asleep himself.
It was silent and getting deeper into the night. And everyone was silently sleeping. Well almost everyone. (A.N. Sorry to interrupt but I just realized that abandoning poor Kuwabara and Shippo from the story. T_T )
Yusuke was staring up at the sky. It was so in this time than back home. Right know though, he had a lot on his mind. Mainly the raven-haired girl only a couple of feet away from him.
When he had met Kagome she had helped him through a tuff time in his life. She sworn to help him get back the one he loved. But at this moment Yusuke wasn't sure who he loved.
Another thing was that Inuyasha guy and all her friends in this time. What happened after the jewel was complete. Did she still love him? Would she stay and live in this time? For some reason that thought made his heart lurch.
What about Naraku? Was he really that powerful? Could they even defeat him?
'All these questions are making my head hurt.' Yusuke thought as he turned over.
'One thing I do know is that tomorrow morning I have to try and make contact with Botan.' Yusuke thought as sleep finally overtook him.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kagome was currently making breakfast. Kuwabara and Yusuke were still snoring very loudly. Hiei was still in the tree but Kagome could sense he was awake. Kurama was picking herbs with Kaede while Shippo continued to rest. Miroku was just well..sitting there. Sango had went to gather more fire wood earlier.
Kagome looked up at the sky. Judging from the sun's position it was about 8:00.
"Here you go Kagome." Sango said adding wood to the fire.
"So the human is useful for something after all." Hiei snickered from in the tree. Sango ignored him.
Breakfast was done and Kagome began serving it out. Yusuke was wide awake by the time food was finished.
Kagome ate very quickly and disposed of her plate. Sango noticed this.
"Kagome-chan what's wrong?" Sango asked as Kagome began digging into her bag. She pulled out her bathing supplies.
"I want to take an early bathe so I won't hold back the team." Kagome said standing up.
Sango finished her breakfast. "I might as well join you, I could use a nice bathe." Sango said stretching.
Miroku quickly got up and stretched beside Sango. "Yeah me too!" he said all to excitedly.
Wham
Miroku was lying unconscious on the floor after meeting up with his old friend Hiraikotsu. Kagome walked and sat next to Yusuke who looked pretty confused.
"Yusuke do you remember me telling you about Miroku being a pervert?" he nodded "...Well you see every time we try to take a bathe Miroku tries to sneak away from camp and spy on us." Yusuke growled. "...Yeah that's what we think to. So we usually have someone keep an eye on him. In this case that is were your job comes in. You are to keep Miroku HERE in camp until WE come back.." Yusuke nodded. "....don't underestimate Miroku. He is very sneaky for a monk. Many times he has tricked Shippo. So don't let him leave okay." After another nod from Yusuke Kagome walked to the base of the tree Hiei was sitting in.
"Hey Hiei!.." He didn't look at her but Kagome knew he was listening. "Can you PLEASE help Yusuke?" Kagome asked.
"Hn."
Taking that as a yes Kagome smiled as she and Sango left toward the hot spring.
When they were out of site Yusuke looked up toward Hiei and Smirked.
"How conniving could he be?" Yusuke said looking toward the slowly awakening monk.

Author's Notes: Wow that was one of the LONGEST chapter I've ever written. Please excuse the bad grammar. I'm really tired so I didn't finish going over it. I'm also coming up with ideas for my next story, but I might not start posting those chapters till I'm finish with 'Living the College Life.'
Speaking about L.T.C.L the next chapter should be posted around Tuesday.
Ja! Saiyuna-san
Hope you enjoy the chapter.
