Chapter 16 Cute moments

Time passed and night came upon the village. Everyone was asleep but Inuyasha. Inuyasha sighed lightly, watching Kagome's slowly breathing. Once he was absolutely sure that she was asleep, he leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Kagome, may I kiss you?"

Kaogme would never really answer, but mumble and shift in her sleep. Inuyasha smiled to himself, kissing her softly on the forehead. He sighed heavily and sat back against the wall, slowly closing his eyes....

"Inuyasha?" A small, sleepy voice mumbled.

Inuyasha stiffened and his eyes snapped open to see a sleep Shippou. "Did you see anything?!" He demanded quietly.

Shippou shook his head, rubbing his eyes of sleep. "No, whhhhhhy?" He asked in mid-yawn.

"No reason." Inuyasha blushed lightly, crossing his arms. "What do you want?"

"I need to go pee....." Shippou whined quietly. "Will you come with me?"

sweatdrop "Why don't you go by yourself?" Inuyasha said coldly, looking away from the small kitsune. "You are a demon."

"Because....." Shippou sniffed. "I d-don't want to be alone! Please Inuyasha!" Shippou said in his normal tone of voice, a.k.a, loud.

Inuyasha covered Shippou's mouth with his hand. "Ok, ok! Just be quiet!" Inuyasha said in a low whisper.

Shippou nodded, taking Inuyasha's bigger hand into his small paw. "Thank you Inuyasha!" Shippou whispered, pulling Inuyasha outside the hut.

Inuyasha sighed, rolling his eyes. "Why didn't you ask any of the others?"

"Because," Shippou said as he went behind a tree. "You were the only one up, and I didn't want to bother Kagome."

Inuyasha sighed again, leaning against the old tree. 'He does have a point.... Kagome does need her sleep.' He thought. "Well, hurry up." He huffed, crossing his arms.

"Mmmmmmmhmmmmm!" Shippou replied, still doing his 'business'.

Inuyasha closed his eyes, yawning lightly. He was about to fall asleep when a heavy stench caught his nose. His eyes snapped open and he covered his sensitive nose. "God Shippou! What the hell have you been eating?!"

Shippou tapped his foot impatiently in front on Inuyasha. "It's not me!" He frowned.

Inuyasha looked down at Shippou for a minute, then up. "Something's coming......" He growled.

CRASH

"WAH!!" Shippou cried, jumping into Inuyasha's arms.

sweatdrop "It was just a tree falling." Inuyasha rolled his eyes and dropped the kitsune.

Shippou frowned as he was dropped roughly on his bottom. "But why would a tree be falling?!"

CRASH

Inuyasha frowned as the sound of trees falling got louder and louder, as did the stench. "Shippou, go warn the others."

Shippou didn't waste time to answer, he ran off to the hut.

Inuyasha rolled his eyes and walked off into the forest, his hand on the hilt of the Tetsusaiga.

Shippou dashed into the hut, nearly tripping over Miroku's 'wandering hand'. "AHHHH!!!! WAKE UP!!!" Shippou yelled, bouncing around the hut frantically.

Sango sat up, rubbing her eyes. "What is it-" Her eyes widen and her face went deep red with rage and embarrassment. "HENTAI!" slap

Miroku smiled devilishly as he sat up, rubbing the red hand print on his cheek. "Worth..... the pain."

Shippou sighed and turned to Kagome. "Kagome?" He blinked as he stared at her still form, sleeping soundly.

Sango walked over to Kagome's side and lightly shook her shoulder. "Kagome, wake up."

"Hmmm?" Kagome woke up to see everyone starring at her. She sat up quickly, wiping the sleep from her eyes. "Is it morning already?"

Sango shook her head. "No, but are you feeling all right?"

Shippou nodded his head. "Yeah, you slept through one of Sango's slappings!"

Kagome smiled weakly at her friends. "Yeah well..... I just think I'm more tired then I thought."

Miroku stood up, grabbing his staff. "Now that's all clear, what's wrong Shippou?"

Shippou blinked. "Uh.... oh yeah!!" Shippou ran to the door, stopping at the door way. "A d-demon is coming!! Follow me!!" The little kitsune exclaimed as he ran outside.

Miroku nodded, following Shippou outside.

Sango picked up her giant bone boomerang, then slowly turned to Kagome. "Maybe you should stay here Kagome."

"W-what? Why??" Kagome asked, standing up.

"Because I'm worried about you!"

"I'm fine!" Kagome smiled weakly at her while she picked up her bow and arrows. "Don't worry about me. Now let's go!"

Sango nodded hesitantly, following the school girl outside, Kirara at her heals.

"Sango! Kagome! Watch out!"

A giant, slimy tentacle came whipping out at Sango and Kagome.

"EEK!" Kagome screamed as she ducked, closing her eyes.

"Don't touch them!"

Sounds of slicing and screeching was heard above Kagome, but still she did not dare to open her eyes to see what was going on.

"Kagome, open your eyes," Sango whispered, resting her hand on Kagome's shoulder.

Kagome slowly opened her eyes to see Sango starring at something. She followed the taijiya's gaze and stopped on it. What she saw sent a chill down her back.
