Kagome and Shippo arrived back at Kaede's hut just as lunch was being served.
"This looks great!" said Kagome as she ladled out a big helping of the stew that was simmering over the fire.
"Did ye find anything of interest among those old documents Kagome?" Kaede asked.
"Yeah! I found an old love letter a girl wrote to her husband while he was off fighting in some war." Kagome sighed
"It was so beautiful and romantic!
Inuyasha snorted softly and Kagome glared at him and asked "What?"
"You" he snickered "Getting so worked up over a dumb letter.
"It's not dumb!" Kagome snapped. "I think it's beautiful! He went off to fight to protect her and he did what he
thought was right and she supported him! It shows strength in their relationship.
"I protect you all the time!" Inuyasha yelled back.
Kagome blinked in surprise. "What's this all about?" she wondered. Heaving a mental sigh Kagome
answered "I know you do Inuyasha...and I'm grateful and I support you in that. I'm just saying that I admire that couple's strong relationship that's all."
"Whatever...." Inuyasha muttered as he stood up. "I'm going to take a walk." He said as he walked out of the hut.
"What's HIS problem?!" blurted Kagome after Inuyasha left.
Miroku shrugged. "Well, it is the night of the new moon tonight. You know how moody he gets."
"If I ever get that way during my time of the month just slap me ok?"
Miroku laughed. "Hopefully we won't have to know when that is Kagome." Kagome and Sango chuckled.
"Kagome, can you read me some of that journal tonight?" piped up Shippo.
"Journal?" Sango asked with a puzzled expression on her face "What journal?"
Kagome smiled excitedly "Oh Sango! I found a pillow book of some noble lady in the shrine! I've only read a little bit so far but it seems really interesting. I'll have to read some more of it to see if it's appropriate for you Shippo." She added.
"Well, good for you Kagome." Miroku smiled. "I hope you can use those things for your school work."
"Yeah...I'm thinking that with this I could write about palace life in this era or something like that."
They finished eating a few minutes later and after cleaning up Kagome stood and announced that she was going back to the temple to read a little bit longer. "Just come get me in a couple of hours ok?" Everyone assured her that they would and she left. On her way out
she noticed Inuyasha brooding up in his favorite tree. She walked over and shouted up to him
"Hey! I'm going to the temple ok?"
"Feh! Go on! What do I care that you'd rather spend the evening reading moldy old books?" snapped Inuyasha.
"Fine!" Kagome huffed "I'll NEVER talk to you about what I'm reading EVER again!"
"Fine by me!"
"Fine!"
Kagome walked away in a huff and entered the temple. "He can be such a jerk!" she thought to herself "He acts like I never pay attention to him or something!"
She decided to put Inuyasha out of her mind and she picked up the journal and began to read.
